Instead of buying into union bosses’ self-serving notion of the holiday, let’s celebrate the workers fighting to free themselves from Big Labor coercion—and the historic decade it’s been for their individual rights. Since 2012, five states—Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Kentucky—have added right-to-work protections that ensure union membership and financial support are strictly voluntary. That’s a greater number of new right-to-work states than any decade since the 1950s, bringing the total to 27 states nationwide....

And no matter how many calories low-intensity exercise burns, vigorous exercise is still better for glucose control, which predicts the risk of diabetes. So, while joining a gym and working out a few times a week is a smart choice, joining a swim team, running club or other group may be even smarter. Training for and competing in organized sporting events is a good way to maintain a high-intensity exercise routine....

I was going on 19 years old the first time I faced Satch, in 1936. Ol’ Satch threw one pretty close to me. I guess you know I waved at the next three. I went back to the dugout. My manager, William Bell, says, “Red, how’s it look?” I said, “That man is throwing that ball so hard I can’t hardly see it!” Satch was about 30 years old then....

So, where does its stance on student-athlete-barely-compensated-employees and daily fantasy sports — shocker, they’re not allowed and would “automatically” cost them a year of eligibility — fall on that spectrum? Let’s put it somewhere between disgusting and stupid, with a hint of illogicality. In their defense, though, it’s only a hint. MORE: Are daily fantasy sports gambling? | ESPN axes ‘cover alerts’ It’s only illogical if you don’t accept this premise as a basic bulwark of the NCAA’s own gross rationale: Student-athletes aren’t supposed to benefit from the business deals that are made on their backs and line their bosses’ pockets....

During a Thursday night interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Ingraham played a clip of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the clip, Pelosi said that Trump had withdrawn funding from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador—three countries that make up a region called the Northern Triangle—in order to punish them. Ingraham asked, “Mr. President, did you withdraw money from Central America to punish them?” “Absolutely. That’s right,” Trump replied....

Trump will formally unveil the group Tuesday. It will reportedly be chaired by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. He has said the group will work separately from the White House Coronavirus Task Force chaired by Vice President Mike Pence and the supply chain “strike force” led by his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. Unlike those groups, it will not meet every day and will most likely conduct most of its business remotely....

During his speech, Trump criticized Democrats for investigations brought against him. “They gave us the Mueller hoax. They gave us the Russia Russia Russia crap. They gave us the one phone call that was a perfect phone call – ‘Oh, let’s get him out of office for that phone call,’” he said, referring to his call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy where Trump asked for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a political rival, and Biden’s son Hunter....

Trump took the stage at Southern New Hampshire University on Monday night to make a big push for the state’s four Electoral College votes. That may seem like a small number, but the state could significantly impact the election before all is said and done. (As Time.com notes, had Al Gore won New Hampshire in 2000, a Florida recount wouldn’t have prevented him from becoming President Gore.) MORE: Sports figures who support Donald Trump...

Writing on his official Truth Social account on Tuesday (one day after the January 6 committee called for criminal charges against the former president for trying to overturn the 2020 election) Trump insisted that President Joe Biden isn’t the rightful leader of the country and the government should be overthrown. Starting from a quote by conservative pundit Jesse Watters saying that “the FBI and Twitter COLLUDED to elect Joe Biden,” Trump reiterates that “the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLEN,” he wrote....

Budd is in a close race with his Democratic opponent, Cheri Beasley, as the GOP fights to take control of the Senate and President Joe Biden’s party appears favored to keep the chamber. Trump’s visit to the state comes during a week where his legal issues have continued to rumble on and speculation has been rife that more problems could arise for the former president. On Thursday, senior U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, who is serving as special master in a case involving an FBI investigation of the handling of White House documents at Mar-a-Lago, asked Trump’s legal team to provide any proof they have that the FBI planted materials during their August 8 search of the premises....

“There’s a continued, enduring interest and folks encouraging him to run in 2024, but he’s in no rush to make a decision. And he’ll do that at the appropriate time,” Miller said of the former president. If Trump runs for president again, he could potentially be up against his former vice president, Mike Pence, who is expected to visit New Hampshire, an early voting state, on Thursday, according to the Associated Press....

“Trump is not your friend dude and it amazes me that people actually like believe that,” Brandon Caserta, one of the men charged with conspiring to kidnap Whitmer, said in a video posted to Twitter by American producer and director Robby Starbuck. “When he’s shown over and over and over again that he’s a tyrant. Every single person that works for [the] government is your enemy, dude,” Caserta added in the video....

Trump made the remarks during a Monday appearance on Fox News’ Hannity. Cuomo has resisted calls to resign over a growing number of sexual harassment allegations, with five women having come forward as of Monday, as well as criticism over his handling of nursing homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump urged Democrats to “cancel” Cuomo over the allegations. “Honestly, that is probably the bigger scandal,” Trump said about criticism over Cuomo’s decisions on nursing homes....

The president’s eldest son was commenting on a tweet by Texas Rep. Castro’s campaign, which highlighted 44 individuals who have donated the maximum possible to Trump 2020 this year, accusing them of fueling anti-Hispanic hate. Castro’s list, based on publicly available donor data, was criticized for targeting private citizens over their political beliefs, but he defended the tweet and said Republicans are to blame for their part in the hatred that led to Saturday’s suspected anti-Hispanic terror attack in El Paso....

Former President Donald Trump’s eldest son took to Twitter on Sunday and shared a graphic from the U.K. newspapers The Times and The Sunday Times that showed what equipment the Taliban now holds. Trump Jr. then offered a calculation on how much the abandoned equipment is worth, though no such figures were provided in the graphic he shared and the number he cited is similar to one recently debunked by PolitiFact....

Speaking at a White House press conference Friday, Trump called the Chinese National People’s Congress passage Thursday of new national security legislation for Hong Kong a “plain violation” of the country’s obligations under the quasi-constitutional Basic Law and the 1984 Joint Sino-British Declaration that set the stage for the United Kingdom handing over its former colony to the People’s Republic in 1997. Washington maintained special trade measures exempting Hong Kong from more restrictive requirements governing commerce with the mainland, but the president said Beijing has gone too far with its new law....

Trump criticized Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Twitter on Monday as he warned that Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue could be defeated. “RINOS @BrianKempGA ,@GeoffDuncanGA, & Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, will be solely responsible for the potential loss of our two GREAT Senators from Georgia, @sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler,” Trump wrote. “Won’t call a Special Session or check for Signature Verification!...

The former president told Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle that reporters had asked “strange questions” and described the briefing as “ridiculous.” He claimed to have never seen anything like it during his time in office. The media briefing was Biden’s first since taking office 65 days earlier and was restricted to just 25 reporters. Speaking to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump said: “Well, they were strange questions and they were asked in an interesting way....

According to an article from Politico, Trump met with a number of evangelical leaders at his Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, last Friday. Evangelicals in 2016 and 2020 overwhelmingly supported Trump’s runs for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with an estimated 80 percent of evangelicals casting their ballots for him, according to National Election Pool and AP/Votecast. However, as important as that voting bloc was to him both times, some evangelical leaders seem split as to whether Trump has a “lock” on that support in 2024....

Betfair gave Trump odds of 15-8 on Friday, an implied probability of winning the election of 35 percent. Those odds shortened from Wednesday when a Trump victory was priced at 2-1 (33 percent). Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s election odds lengthened from 1-2 (67 percent) to 8-15 (65 percent) over the same period, the bookmaker said. Betfair said it was “highly unusual” for it to shift odds in favour of any underdog in a presidential race so close to the election....
