Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, is paralyzed from the waist down after a white Kenosha police officer fired seven bullets into his back on August 23. Trump will head to Kenosha on Tuesday, White House spokesman Judd Deere told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday. The president spent the day touring damage caused by Hurricane Laura in Louisiana. According to The Associated Press, the president will be meeting with law enforcement officers and “surveying” some of the damage caused during recent protests....

However, a predicted landslide victory hasn’t deterred bettors from clamouring to wager for a Donald Trump victory in what one leading bookmaker described would be the “biggest polling miss of the 21st century.” Biden has been the betting favorite to win the 2020 Presidential election since May. And with one day to go until election day, the Democratic nominee leads the polls with a 61.9 percent implied probability of clinching victory ahead of Trump, according to OddsChecker, which aggregates betting data from dozens of bookmakers....

So how did a money-losing company with an unproven idea score a flashy CEO and deep-pocketed backers? The Cybermeals story, from birth to last week’s announcement, is characteristic of a startup’s often rough passage in the budding Net economy. The four founders were plagued by a constant shortage of cash, and made serious mistakes in deciding how to spend the money to promote the site. And like other tech entrepreneurs, they had to consider a difficult trade-off: whether to relinquish control of their company to venture capitalists in exchange for the money that could save it....

Tsongas knows he’s no star. But his resolutely unstellar campaign is finally above the waterline in New Hampshire. A thoughtful economic program and a blunt, truth-squad style have slowly lifted the former Massachusetts senator into a strong second place behind Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and far ahead of contenders with more flash and lots more cash–Sens. Bob Kerrey and Tom Harkin. “He’s a real tortoise,” says Mike Blastos, a Keene, N....

But when you add statistical analysis on top of that, you see a player who looks not only like a near-lock for the Heisman Trophy, but also a future NFL star, despite the fact he hasn’t taken a single fourth-quarter snap this season. MORE: Can anyone stop Bama, Tagovailoa’s tour de force? Tagovailoa already helped the Crimson Tide win a national title in relief, and is on his way to winning another as a starter — either this year or the next — before he’s eligible to enter the draft....

Tubular carcinomas account for 1% to 5% of all breast cancer diagnoses and the prognosis is often excellent. Symptoms Tubular carcinomas usually do not produce symptoms. Because of their size—typically less than 1 centimeter (cm) in diameter, or about the size of a pencil eraser)—they may not be felt during a breast self-exam. Most are found with routine medical exams, including mammograms. That said, a lump may grow large enough (and firm enough) over time that it can be felt during a self-check or physical examination by a healthcare provider....

Mbappe scored a superb goal in Les Bleus’ 4-2 final triumph over Croatia in Moscow last month, crowning a stellar tournament in which he was named FIFA’s Best Young Player. Along with the rest of France’s stars from Russia 2018 in the PSG squad, Mbappe is available to return to club action in Saturday’s trip to Guingamp. Head coach Tuchel appreciates the next steps of the 19-year-old’s career are highly anticipated and he sees his own role, in part, as one of managing expectations....

The Brazil international, who is suspended for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with reported suitors Real Madrid, shrugged off the rough treatment to score a spectacular overhead kick winner in a 1-0 victory over Strasbourg on Saturday. Neymar said afterwards that all matches would be “away games” for him now, having irked fans with his desire to leave the club in the last transfer window. Tuchel reiterated there is no issue between him and the former Barcelona star, but can see why fans may choose not to forgive Neymar for his actions....

In a viral clip about the Fox Nation episode, Carlson spoke to Andrew McGovern—billed as a “fitness professional”—about supposed ways men could increase their testosterone levels. McGovern, who is listed on LinkedIn as a personal trainer at LifeTime Inc., in Columbus, Ohio, suggested men could improve their testosterone levels by exposing themselves to red light therapy. The Cleveland Clinic describes red light therapy as “an emerging treatment showing promise” in improving wound healing and acne, as well as reducing stretch marks and other common skin conditions....

Carlson’s comments came during a discussion with Washington Times Opinion Editor Charlie Hurt about who will benefit most from the soon-to-be-implemented policies of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden after he takes office in January. During the segment, Hurt alluded to Biden’s pledge to overturn President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military. Biden has said that he would overturn the ban early into his presidency. He could do so by issuing an executive order without the aid of Congress....

Tudor’s Biscuit World is a popular, regional fast food restaurant with around 70 locations, most of which are in West Virginia, according to their website. Workers at the Elkview, West Virginia, location began their efforts to unionize late last year, alleging unsafe working conditions related to the pandemic and other inadequate treatment, according to a November press release from United Food & Commercial Workers Local 400, the union aiming to represent the employees....

Instead of treatments based on where a tumor originated, this therapy treats a cancer that originates anywhere based on the particular molecular characteristics that drive the growth of the tumor. Despite arising in different tissues, it’s not uncommon for very different types of cancer to use the same pathway to grow. An increased understanding of cancer biology, the ability to do genomic testing to determine what is driving the growth of a particular cancer, and the availability of medications that target these pathways has given researchers the ability to treat a wide range of cancers at a molecular level....

Trump made the appeal during a Rose Garden press conference Monday with President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria. The U.S. is joining with Canada and Mexico in the bid for the quadrennial soccer tournament. The African country Morocco is also bidding to host the 2026 event. “I hope all African countries and countries throughout the world, that we also will be supporting you and that they will, likewise, support us in our bid, along with Canada and Mexico, for the 2026 World Cup,” Trump said....

Much of the nearly 260 pages of the anonymous official’s tome, A Warning, which hit bookshelves on Tuesday, has been dedicated to sounding the alarm about Trump’s alarming behavior. While the anonymous author, who is described only as a “senior official in the Trump administration” admits they are not “qualified to diagnose the president’s mental acuity,” they can say that “normal people who spend any time with Donald Trump are uncomfortable by what they witness....

Mason’s tweet included a video showing a field packed with people, many of whom were not wearing masks, during Trump’s rally in Omaha on Tuesday night. New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman spotted Trump’s retweet, and in a subsequent tweet, wrote: “A perfect distillation of the president’s approach - calling a reporter a “criminal” for not reporting the way the president wants, then retweeting a crowd shot from same reporter days later....

Photos of the incident show a section of wall leaning at a sharp angle into Mexico at a construction site on the border between Calexico and Mexicali. In a statement sent to Newsweek, Ralph DeSio, a spokesperson at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, which is overseeing construction of the border wall, explained that “high winds impacted a handful of panels under construction yesterday afternoon.” “No property damage or injuries were sustained during this uncommon event while the concrete was drying and construction remains ongoing,” he said....

Bannon called for those responsible for the announcement to be “fired today” on his War Room podcast on Thursday. During a discussion with fellow ex-Trump advisers Steve Cortes and Sebastian Gorka, Bannon lamented that “nobody even talked about” Trump’s plans to battle the “left-wing censorship regime” if elected in 2024 after being overshadowed by the announced sale of the NFT trading cards, which depict the former president as a superhero....

The mainstream media naturally condemn Trump’s norm-busting statements, but they also describe them as “self-destructive,” “snippets of inner monolog” or “rhetorical outbursts.” But they’re much worse than that. They are deliberate, substantive attacks on the rule of law, truth in political discourse, and Americans’ rights, freedoms, and values. It’s not inadvertent when Trump attacks Governor Whitmer instead of the right-wing extremists who plotted against her, or when his policies systematically separate families and lock children in cages....

Of the 22 Republican candidates that Trump has endorsed for the Senate, only two are currently at risk of losing their races, according to a Newsweek analysis. The two Trump-backed Republicans who are projected to lose their contests as of Friday are Kelly Tshibaka, who is running in Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system against incumbent Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, and Leora Levy, who is running in Connecticut against incumbent Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal....
