Epps, they said, was a government plant that sowed the seeds of insurrection well before a crowd rushed the perimeter around the Capitol steps. Video taken by protesters the night before the riot showed Epps on the streets of Washington, D.C. encouraging physical intervention to stop the electoral count, a crowd blaring chants of “Fed! Fed! Fed!” as he spoke. Another video showed him apparently telling attendees at Trump’s speech on The Ellipse to make their way to the U....

One passenger reportedly paid $20,000 for economy flights back home, according to Delta Air Lines, while others spent thousands of dollars for America-bound tickets. Airports were in “complete pandemonium,” with staff blindsided by the sudden news of the ban, which was announced on Wednesday and came into effect on Friday at 11:59 p.m. (eastern time). The ban was introduced in a bid to help curb the spread of the virus, COVID-19, which was first reported in China’s Wuhan city of the Hubei province and has infected more than 147,000 people, while more than 71,000 have recovered from it....

McCain, a conservative political commentator and former co-host on ABC’s The View, made the comments during an appearance on Fox News’ Media Buzz. Speaking with host Howard Kurtz and fellow guest Kristin Hawn, a Democratic strategist, McCain said Trump’s meeting at Mar-a-Lago with the two controversial figures last week shows that he is “completely unfit to run for president.” Following the dinner at his Florida residence, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he was unaware of who Fuentes was and that he didn’t know he would be accompanying West....

These actions are the latest evidence that the U.S.-China relationship is increasingly defined by confrontation—exacerbated most recently by Beijing’s unacknowledged culpability for the coronavirus pandemic and punitive actions against democracies bold enough to point it out. But the president has one unresolved China item on his desk that could be his administration’s most consequential China policy yet: a formal finding, under the Genocide Convention, of genocide in Xinjiang. The totalitarian terror being implemented by the CCP in Xinjiang is by now well catalogued: high-tech surveillance, arbitrary arrest, indefinite detention in reeducation camps, torture, rape, forced labor, family separations and coercive birth control policies....

While the president said he did not plan on “pursuing” the false claims, which were prompted by an op-ed published by Newsweek questioning Harris’ eligibility, he fell short of rejecting them outright, despite being pressed to do so by a reporter. “I have nothing to do with that. I read something about it.” Tump said after he was asked to state that Harris is eligible to run in the 2020 election during a press briefing at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey....

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Trump said during an exclusive interview that China was approaching the end of its own outbreak of the disease when it spread to other nations. “There is a very good chance it was incompetence. There was a very good chance it was a mistake. And there’s a chance that it was intentional,” Trump said about how the virus spread, according to a transcript of the conversation....

A Trump-Owned Social Platform Is in the Works After getting ousted from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and even Twitch, one would think that Trump would opt to establish a presence on a “free speech” platform, like Parler or Gab. But that’s just not the case, as Trump is creating an entirely new social network. In an interview with Fox News, Jason Miller, Trump’s senior advisor, stated that Trump will return to social media “with his own platform” in about “two or three months....

Recent polling has shown Florida Republicans split on which of the two they’d want to be the GOP presidential nominee in 2024. A poll from Victory-Insights conducted between October 30 and November 1 found 50.4 percent of GOP voters saying they’d prefer Trump as the nominee over DeSantis, while 49.6 percent said they’d favor the Florida governor. The poll also found DeSantis leading his Democratic opponent, Charlie Crist, in this year’s midterm election, 54 to 41 percent....

Baseball fans didn’t grow too wistful over the number 70. Its luster as the single-season home run record faded after only three seasons. The number 755 presumably would stir greater excitement, and Barry Bonds stands a chance of erasing that one from the record books, too. That’s right, 755, as in Hank Aaron’s career home run mark, which has stood for a quarter of a century. “I won’t be around for that,” Bonds sniffed earlier this season....

On a recent edition of First Take, Stephen A. Smith said that Tagovailoa looked concussed after the play: Smith added that he doesn’t find fault with the NFLPA, who’s investigating the concussion protocols of the Dolphins or with the quarterback: Tua Tagovailoa and the strong start to his 2022-23 season So far, the fifth-overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft is having a career season early on in year three....

The 21-year-old defender, who has skippered United teams throughout his progression up the youth ranks at Old Trafford, wore the armband for Wednesday’s EFL Cup match against Rochdale. United averted a humiliating exit after being held to a 1-1 draw by their League One opponents, prevailing 5-3 on penalties. Pogba endured a lacklustre outing in midfield and there was plenty of focus upon why a World Cup winner, who served as United’s vice-captain last season before a breakdown in relations with Jose Mourinho, was not selected to lead the team out of the tunnel....

An estimated 36 percent of Trump’s supporters aren’t interested in getting vaccinated, which presents a potential problem for America reaching herd immunity. Data from doctors is the best persuasion tool for convincing these skeptics to get vaccinated, but when it comes to who they trust most on television, it’s Carlson. A majority of Trump’s supporters are likely to get their information about COVID from Fox News, according to a recent poll from Frank Luntz....

The top-rated Fox News personality on Thursday called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a “tragedy” and placed the blame for the conflict squarely on Putin. The remarks by Carlson are markedly different from his Tuesday monologue sympathetic of Russia’s authoritarian ruler that was later picked up by RT, an international television network controlled and funded by the Russian government. “I don’t know anybody who thinks the invasion of Ukraine is a good thing,” Carlson said on Thursday, speaking to guest independent journalist Glenn Greenwald....

Tumor Necrosis Factor in the Immune Response TNF is a natural part of the body’s immune response to tumor cells, bacteria, and viruses. It plays a part both in acute reactions and systemic inflammation. Cells release it when they detect a specific substance (an antigen) to which they have become sensitized. TNF is a cytokine, a signaling protein. Cytokines are chemical substances which deliver messages between cells in the body. They play a part in many biological processes, including:...

The north African country returned to the quadrennial event in Russia after a 12-year absence. And they have been paired with Belgium, England and Panama in the Group G. In gearing up for the tournament, Nabil Maaloul’s men will host Iran in Tunis on March 23 before battling Costa Rica in France four days later. From there, they will travel to Krasnodar to play 2010 World Cup champions, Spain....

Trump has thus far declined to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden, claiming that it had been rigged by the Democrats. Trump’s re-election campaign had filed lawsuits alleging election manipulation and a lack of Republican access to ballot counting areas. On Twitter, Trump has propagated a theory that some voting machines were programmed to flip votes he should have received over to the Biden column. Krebs’s agency refuted Trump’s allegations....

“Since returning home, his physical exam has remained stable and devoid of any indications to suggest progression of illness,” Conley wrote in a memorandum. “Overall he’s responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects.” Trump’s physician noted that this Saturday will mark 10 days since the president’s Thursday coronavirus diagnosis. “Based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the President’s safe return to public engagements at that time....

On Saturday morning, Trump shared a Twitter moment from June 15 which announced that the FDA would revoke the emergency use authorization of the drugs due to evidence they were “unlikely to be effective” in treating the coronavirus. Trump wrote: “Many doctors and studies disagree with this!” apparently reiterating his backing for the drugs which he has promoted, leading to their high demand and shortages, as well as sparking controversy over their safety and effectiveness....
