The pets were thrown a ‘beach party’ by staff at Circle of Friends Animal Shelter in Grand Forks, and it is one of the sweetest things we’ve ever seen. In collaboration with Bully Brew Coffee, the fun event took place on July 15 and was posted to Facebook by the shelter in a live video, which can be viewed here. The animals are Shepadoodles, which are a cross between a German shepherd and the standard poodle....
Anyway, the new guy runs a bony finger down the organization chart and silently ticks off the names of everyone senior enough to gun for his job and fires them, leaving only terrified eunuchs. But firing people costs money–there are contracts, you see, and stock options–so he has to be very careful to fire only those who pose an actual threat, by dint of their intelligence or courage or originality or some other personality defect....
Jeffrey Clark, a former Department of Justice lawyer who allied with former President Donald Trump, could face criminal contempt if the panel approves of the charges. This potential charge comes after Clark walked out of his hearing along with his lawyer Harry MacDougald after 90 minutes. Members of the committee have previously said that they planned to hold uncooperative witnesses in contempt. Clark had been interviewed by the committee on November 5....
But fans have just realized her musical prowess isn’t limited to conventional instruments, after her manicure was given a credit on one of her albums. A superfan, who calls themselves DollyRewind on TikTok, uploaded a clip to the site on Tuesday, after discovering the 75-year-old’s unusual talent. Her skill came into its own on her smash hit 9 to 5, after her percussive strumming and tapping helped her formulate the beat for the song, which featured on the movie of the same name....
It’s about time Miami’s offense matched its defense’s dominant nature in 2014. The result was a 37-0 beatdown over banged-up San Diego on Sunday. Tannehill finished 24-of-34, 288 yards and three touchdowns, and the Dolphins (5-3) outgained the Chargers (5-4) in total yards, 441-178. We don’t take the term beatdown lightly. The offense was great, but it’s the defense — you know, the one that was quietly ranked No. 7 in total yards allowed per game and No....
Coach Brian Flores told reporters Tuesday that Josh Rosen will start for his team the rest of the season. “It’s settled,” Flores said. “I think Josh is improving on a week-to-week basis. I think he’s a young, talented player and I think he needs to get in there and develop and get reps and just improve.” Rosen will get the opportunity to showcase his talent after being shipped out of Arizona this offseason, but it’s for a franchise that appears uninterested in winning football games....
Tannehill is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board for 240.5 yards, and we like the OVER thanks to his efficiency of late and the Jets’ porous secondary. The Jets have allowed opposing quarterbacks to average 255.5 yards per contest this season, which is promising enough for an OVER play, but Tannehill’s recent play adds some additional confidence. He’s only hit the 241-yard plateau in one of his last four games, but he’s faced a number of touch defenses over that span....
The Dolphins, coming off a bad loss to the Jets in Week 3, miserably failed to keep pace in the AFC East, a division for once not led by the Patriots entering Week 4, and got shut out, 20-0. The Saints, coming off their first win of the season against the Panthers in Week 3, rode that momentum and got back to .500. WEEK 4 NFL PICKS:Straight up | Against the spread...
Rather than individuals protesting privately during the playing of the national anthem, Miami players decided decided “they’ll instead lock arms in solidarity,” ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported Sunday morning. MORE: Patriots’ Robert Kraft releases statement The public’s collective eye Sunday was focused on how players would react to a series of tweets from Trump. “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast,” Trump tweeted at 6:44 a....
Voting machines provided by Dominion became the center of controversy after Trump and others claimed that the equipment was a factor in widespread voting fraud. Some connected to the Trump camp claimed that Dominion machines were capable of running software that flipped votes from Trump to President-elect Joe Biden. Dominion has previously denied the allegations. Trump’s lawyers have yet to provide any tangible evidence for their claims. Coomer said that the theories about Dominion machines have caused him to receive death threats....
In fact, an owner who conducted himself like Richardson did face all that. Nearly four years ago, the NBA and Adam Silver took Donald Sterling’s team away from him, and told him he didn’t have to go home, but he had to get the hell out of there. That’s what the NFL and Roger Goodell could, and should, do to Richardson and the stain he’s left on the Panthers and the league, as Sports Illustrated has reported....
I’m not attacking this idea the way I went after Bush’s Social Security “reforms” of a few years ago. It’s just that I’m a Social Security junkie, and that aspect of Bush’s health proposals interests me–if only because it points out how high Social Security taxes are for many families, relative to the income tax. Here’s the deal. Bush wants to let taxpayers who have health insurance exclude $7,500 (for singles) or $15,000 (for married couples) from their taxable income, but would include as income the value of employer-paid health insurance, currently tax-free....
At 51, she’s still here to remind you that she did it first and did it better, playing with the boys in her band, the Pretenders, but throwing a knowing wink at the girls. During the early ’80s, such hits as “Middle of the Road,” “Talk of the Town” and “Back on the Chain Gang” established the group’s reputation. But things have changed. Two original members died of drug overdoses, drummer Martin Chambers left then later returned....
Time to dial back, spend less, save more. But you can’t fix everything at once–especially when you’re trying to dig out of a hole. What should you do first, and which are the next steps along the road? For some answers, I turned to the experts at the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, who get people out of jams like these. Not every adviser takes the same approach. But after weighing all the opinions, I worked out a list that I think should help almost everyone:...
The Russian was a key player in the third season’s best episode, “The Pine Barrens,” in which Christopher (Michael Imperioli) and Paulie (Tony Sirico) allow a murderous Russian mafioso, whom they tried and failed to kill, to escape into the icy back woods of South Jersey. Chris and Paulie spend the episode tramping through snow and freezing their butts off, trying in vain to find the Russian. They succeed only in getting themselves lost....
Trump has told allies not to comply with subpoenas over the probe, according to The New York Times, and on Monday he sued the chairman of the House’s January 6 committee, Bennie Thompson, and the head of the National Archives, in a bid to block access to White House documents from around the time of the riot. Such action could potentially leave committee members considering whether or not Trump is obstructing the probe....
“Congressman Matt Gaetz has never asked me for a pardon. It must also be remembered that he has totally denied the accusations against him,” Trump said in the Wednesday statement. The former president’s statement came after The New York Times reported on Tuesday evening that Gaetz had floated the idea of “blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed,” citing two unidentified people with knowledge of the discussions....
Earlier on Thursday, Schumer sent Trump a letter criticizing the “the tardiness and inadequacy” of his administration’s response, and warning him that shortages of medical equipment, personal protective equipment, testing supplies, and other necessary goods were “beyond acute” in both New York and other areas with high numbers of coronavirus cases. “While companies that volunteer to produce ventilators and PPE are to be commended and are appreciated, America cannot rely on a patchwork of uncoordinated voluntary efforts to combat the awful magnitude of this pandemic,” Schumer wrote....
Throughout his Oval Office rant, Trump hurled accusations of “treason,” while railing against Democrats for launching an impeachment inquiry into his now infamous July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as against journalists for reporting on it. The U.S. leader has maintained that he did “nothing wrong” in his phone call with Zelensky, even after a rough transcript from the White House showed that he asked the Ukrainian leader to investigate his 2020 rival Joe Biden and his son....
On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit knocked back Trump’s appeal against the court’s earlier decision that his accountants Mazars must release several years of his financial records, including tax returns, to honor a subpoena by the House Oversight Committee. A majority of the judges voted in favor of upholding the previous ruling. But three judges dissented against that majority decision. The president’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said he would now take the case up to the Supreme Court and petition for it to be heard there....
