“I think these decisions have to be made in an unemotional way, really being clear-eyed about what the consequences are, about how partisan impeachment only further divides an already divided country,” Gabbard said in an interview with CBS News. “And for those of us who care a lot about beating Donald Trump, just understanding the reality that this impeachment would not remove him from office. That’s a fact.” In fact, Gabbard argued, the impeachment would only serve to endear Trump’s supporters more to him....

Carson, who gained international fame after successfully separating conjoined twins in 1987, has spoken out against the COVID-19 vaccine. He criticized the vaccine for being a “giant experiment” and said on Wednesday that politicians aren’t exploring other options of curbing the pandemic because it would mean giving up their control. “I think sometimes some of the politicians just are drunk on power and they stop thinking about what’s good for the people,” Carson told Fox Business on Wednesday....

“DEAD PEOPLE VOTED,” the president tweeted, alongside an opinion article that was adapted from Carlson’s monologue on November 11’s Tucker Carlson Tonight. On Thursday, Carlson amplified the Trump campaign’s claim that two dead individuals illegally voted in Georgia. “No one quite embodies that story like James Blalock of Covington, Georgia. Mr. Blalock was a mailman for 33 years until he passed away in 2006,” Carlson said at the time. “Fourteen years later, according to state records he was still mailing things....

Speaking to supporters at a campaign rally at the Wildwoods Convention Center Oceanfront in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Tuesday, the president celebrated a recent court victory allowing him to push forward with plans to use $3.6 billion in military construction funds for the development of his border wall. “The money is won,” Trump said. “And we are now building that beautiful wall.” The wall, the president said, “is going up at record speed,” with the project having just surpassed 100 miles....

Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked in the couple’s San Francisco home in late October by suspect David DePape. Armed with a hammer, the home invader left the elderly businessman severely injured and in need of surgery for a fractured skull. DePape’s comments indicated at the time that he had been targeting Nancy Pelosi, who was in Washington, D.C., at the time. In the wake of the assault, the reaction amongst right-wing figures was swift, with many prominent politicians and pundits mocking the Pelosi family over the incident....

Yesterday, the Trump administration took a significant step to opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska—one of the nation’s last pristine areas of wilderness—to oil and gas drilling. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced a leasing program on Monday that will make more than 1.5 million acres of the refuge’s coastal plain area—around 8 percent of the total area —available for oil and gas exploration. Bernhardt said Monday’s announcement “marks a new chapter in American energy independence” and would lead to the creation of thousands of jobs....

“We as an American society have stepped up. We have the lowest mortality rate, one of the lowest in the entire world,” McEnany told Fox News show America’s Newsroom. “And that’s because of American innovation,” she said. But the U.S. currently ranks ninth highest in the world for its death toll per 100,000 residents, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. has seen about 40 deaths per 100,000 people....

Trump also blamed Bloomberg’s debate performances, saying Bloomberg got “beat up very badly” by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. After an underwhelming performance in the Super Tuesday primaries, where Bloomberg only picked up the six delegates from American Samoa after spending millions of his own money on advertising, Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign Wednesday and gave his endorsement to former Vice President Joe Biden. Bloomberg announced his exit from the race in a Wednesday statement saying “the delegate math has become virtually impossible—and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists....

Demonstrations in the city sparked by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody while being arrested, have turned violent, with footage showing fires blazing and clashes with police. A state of emergency has been declared in Minneapolis, while the Minnesota National Guard said that it had “activated more than 500 soldiers” to St. Paul and the surrounding area amid the demonstrations. Trump criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and spoke of military intervention across the city in a string of early morning tweets....

The order, which Trump will sign during his visit to Ohio, was drafted in response to the coronavirus pandemic after the outbreak left the nation scrambling due to drug and device shortages. The executive order directs the federal government to create an “essential medicines” list and will require the purchase of these drugs from U.S. manufacturers to help secure the nation’s drug supply chain. It is unclear at this time what drugs will be targeted by this order....

Trump’s tweet read, “Should President Trump concede to Biden? Poll Results: No: 190,593 (98.9%) Yes: 2,181 (1.1%) Total Votes: 192,774. @gregkellyusa @newsmax For the good of our Country we must prevail!” But while the Newsmax Media CEO Christopher Ruddy said he supported Trump legally challenging the ballot counts in decisive battleground states, he also said he believed that Trump should concede once the states certify their votes. Since Election Day, Newsmax has increasingly positioned itself as a more-conservative media outlet to the right of Fox News....

The quotes for this article all appeared in the May 11, 1939, issue of The Sporting News. MORE: MLB’s first All-Star Game and the schedule change that kept Lou Gehrig’s streak alive At the time, of course, there was no diagnosis for the disease that would eventually carry his name and legacy into the future. All Gehrig knew was that his body wasn’t performing like it used to, and that something was wrong....

“The surgery was successful," Saban told reporters (via AL.com). “There’s no real timetable for his return, but the expectation is he will be non-weight bearing for several days and then he’ll be able to come back as his rehab allows him. We’re hopeful that in a 10-day period he’ll be back being able to do pretty active type rehab and we’ll see how it goes from there. These things are pretty unpredictable at this point....

Tim O’Brien, who wrote the 2005 biography TrumpNation, made a Saturday appearance on MSNBC, where he discussed the Manhattan District Attorney Office’s ongoing tax fraud investigation against the Trump Organization. Initially, he noted how much the case hinges on the recent testimony of Allen Weisselberg, the company’s former chief financial officer. “Weisselberg, if he is found to have lied during that testimony, could face as much as 15 years in prison instead of a five-month sentence he will get otherwise,” O’Brien explained to host Ali Velshi....
