In a statement, Trump’s physician Sean Conley said both were well, and planned to stay at the White House. He did not state whether the two had shown symptoms.

Well, as LeVar Burton loved to say, you don’t have to take my word for it. The 2022 FIFA World Cup has put that sentiment on full display. The defending champions were beset by a ruthless run of injuries prior to the start of the tournament that left many — myself included — doubting their abilities to compete amongst the world’s greats in Qatar. Repeating as World Cup champions was a tough enough feat on its own, as no team has accomplished that task since 1962, but without some of their best players?...
Despite being named a Silver Slugger finalist this year, the Astros catcher put together one of the worst seasons of his career, posting a .600 OPS with 15 home runs. Before Houston began its World Series against the Phillies, Maldonado reached out to his former Angels teammate Albert Pujols about possibly using some of his bats. Pujols, a future Hall of Famer, was coming off one of his better seasons since 2011, his last year in St....
Major League Baseball announced on Monday that Rose would not be reinstated, seemingly closing the doors to Cooperstown in conjunction with closing the doors to clubhouses. But a passage in MLB commissioner Rob Manfred’s statement has some wondering if Bud Selig’s successor left a loophole for Rose to crawl through — or at the very least, if he just put a bright, shining spotlight on the National Baseball Hall of Fame, which will have to reassert its rules....
Snow had the good fortune to succeed the personable but hapless Scott McClellan, who presided over a restless briefing room with little confidence and even less information. Snow used his talent as a former talk-show host to inject more life into the briefings while offering even less news and insight than McClellan. Few West Wing staffers considered Snow to be close to the president or a decision maker on strategy and policy....
There weren’t many jubilant Washington fans in the stands Sunday at FedEx Field as the Redskins were on the receiving end of a 34-17 drubbing by the Jets, but one of them was smiling after doing something curious. Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had just caught a touchdown pass from Sam Darnold in the second quarter when he jumped into the stands to celebrate with Jets fans in the corner of the end zone....
In 2017, though, Valeri took his game to new heights. In a close race with several deserving candidates, the Argentine’s stellar season has resulted in him being named Goal’s 2017 MLS MVP. On a team with plenty of injury issues, Valeri’s durability took on added significance in 2017, as he reached the 30-appearance mark for the fourth time in his five seasons in Portland. Of course, more than simply making the lineup, Valeri is our MVP for what he did with his time on the pitch for the Timbers this season....
“Stocks continue to increase, rising 3.5 million barrels last week to 29 days of supply, up from the low of 25.4 days in October,” GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan told Newsweek.

“It’s time for Biden to start taking the diesel shortage seriously,” wrote Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton on Twitter on Tuesday. “First, it was baby formula, and now experts are warning of a potential diesel shortage. Now is the time for the Biden administration to take this seriously — immediately,” tweeted Senator Marsha Blackburn on the same day. Trump-endorsed Republican candidate for Florida’s 7th Congressional District Cory Mills tweeted on October 31 to blame the Biden administration for the tight diesel supplies: “U....

After years of bearing the brunt of severe U.S. economic sanctions, it now faces the prospect of having those sanctions lifted amid negotiations in Vienna to restore the 2015 nuclear deal. At the same time, Ebrahim Raisi, an ardent conservative with a history of gross human rights abuses, will assume the Iranian presidency on August 3 after perhaps the most stage-managed election in the Islamic Republic’s history. While there will be calls for the U....
Built to celebrate the first World Cup ever staged in Asia, the Yokohama complex is also a revealing case study in Japan’s environmental denial. Officials chose the site 10 kilometers outside the port city because of its convenient location along the main Tokyo-Osaka bullet-train line. In 1999, a year after the stadium opened to the public, PCBs and dioxins were discovered in the ground 500 meters from the building. But after a cursory environmental assessment, the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport declared the area safe by Japanese standards....
When you see the term disease-free survival used, you will see the disease in question, the treatment being tested, the period of time, and the percentage of study participants who were disease-free at the end of that time period. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are cured, it only covers the time period given. The disease may recur after that time period. Examples of a Disease-Free Survival Statistic Please note this is not an actual current statistic but is given only to show an example....
Thus, we see a company as long-beloved as Disney now abandoning its core family audience and instead catering to every whim demanded by the woke mob, a move both ineffective and, as we are seeing, unprofitable. Case in point—Ms. Marvel. It’s unlikely that Disney creating a Muslim superhero will lead to a sudden Taliban epiphany and the subsequent empowering of schoolgirls. More likely, it will just make more non-Muslims feel that the powers that be never stop scolding them for their alleged white privilege....
The “Don’t Say Gay” law, formally known as HB 1557, has caused nationwide dispute, as the law condemns the teaching of sexual orientation in classrooms for kids aged 5 to 9, and critics have said it is damaging to children that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
