Thus, a change from the east coast to the west coast; from a team that has won recently but lost its way last season, to one that seems to have forgotten what winning is all about. Tuck says the Giants came nowhere near the two-year, $11 million offer made to him by the Raiders. In fact, Big Blue’s offer was, in Tuck’s mind, “disrespectful.” “They wouldn’t have had to match it,” Tuck told the New York Daily News about the Giants’ offer....
The Fox News host was discussing Garland’s new strategy to combat terrorism while invoking the attack at the Capitol, which the attorney general described as an “assault on a mainstay of our democratic system.” Carlson said the new sweeping changes are proof that the administration is hoping to “crush anyone who leads opposition to” President Joe Biden. “It’s a big change in the way the United States government assesses and then treats its own citizens....
During the Friday night edition of his popular opinion show Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson argued that it was “a human right” to purchase any kind of cigarette. He suggested that menthol cigarette bans were being pushed by those seeking “power” rather than over concerns the products are killing people by causing cancer and other illnesses. Carlson also said that an unspecified “they” who “hate tobacco” were trying to push THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, on children because it makes people “compliant and passive....
Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House coronavirus task force which assists in crafting the U.S. response for combatting the virus. After calling Fauci an “impressive person,” Carlson said, “That doesn’t mean he’s never wrong. On the question of the pandemic, Fauci has been wrong repeatedly.” Carlson cited a January Newsmax interview with Fauci in which he said the coronavirus “is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about....

Fred Trump Jr. died of a heart attack aged 42 in 1981 after a long battle against alcohol addiction. He was good-looking, smart, popular, and aspired to be a pilot—against the wishes of his father, Fred Trump, and brother Donald—a dream eventually ended by his drinking. Their father disparaged that dream, referring to it as merely “a chauffeur in the sky,” and the president told his brother “you’re wasting your time,” The Washington Post reported....
In the executive order, Trump said “Democracy cannot function” without law and order, and that Americans can’t exercise their rights to a peaceful protest. The order from Trump states “property is destroyed, and innocent are injured or killed.” The order also mentions the destruction of property during protests. “Unfortunately, anarchy has recently beset some of our best States and cities,” the order read. “For the past few months, several State and local governments have contributed to the violence and destruction in their jurisdictions by failing to enforce the law, disempowering and significantly defunding their police departments, and refusing to accept offers of Federal law enforcement assistance....
Trump signed the orders as Republicans and Democrats remained at an impasse amid negotiations over the next round of economic stimulus legislation, after new coronavirus infections and deaths surged during the past month. Democrats in the House of Representatives first passed their $3 trillion HEROES Act proposal in May, but Senate Republicans dismissed the legislation. In July, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a GOP lawmaker from Kentucky, released a smaller $1 trillion bill, dubbed the HEALS Act....
The jury found Trump’s business guilty of all 17 charges it faced, as the organization faces a fine of up to $1.6 million. The former president, however, was not personally charged in the case despite prosecutors arguing he “knew exactly what was going on with his top executives.” Despite avoiding charges in the tax fraud case, the guilty verdict could still spell trouble for the former president, as Trump is still facing other lawsuits and investigations in New York that could end in a guilty verdict, according to Kirschner, a former U....
In an August 30 court filing, the agency said the former president’s claim the FBI agents had improperly taken three of his passports while looking for sensitive material removed from the White House at his Florida home is “incorrect.” The Department of Justice explained that the passports were seized by the FBI as they were held in a desk drawer in Trump’s office which also included classified documents, and therefore within the scope of the search warrant and relevant to the investigation....
Trump has criticized the voting process in Georgia as being fraudulent. Loeffler and Perdue, neither of whom received 50 percent of the popular vote in the November election, are scheduled to face off against their Democratic opponents in January. If Loeffler and Perdue lose the election, the U.S. Senate could end up with a Democratic majority. In his tweet, Trump warned that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger would be to blame if Loeffler and Perdue do not regain their Senate seats....
Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday in a wide-ranging call during which the oil war was discussed, according to Bloomberg. The price dispute, which began last month, has driven oil prices to their lowest in 18 years. Trump told reporters Tuesday that Russia and Saudi Arabia “are discussing” how to end the price war, adding that he would consider “joining at the appropriate time if need be....
The network’s interruption of the livestream angered the former president, with a Trump spokesperson accusing Fox News of being in breach of the First Amendment. In the midst of Trump’s speech from his Mar-a-Lago residence, Fox News cut away from the livestream to allow for host Sean Hannity—a strong supporter of the former president—to quiz several conservative pundits, including Mike Huckabee, Pete Hegseth and Leo Terrell, about the significance of the announcement....
After the man apologized to police, he told officers that he wanted to personally apologize to the women involved, but police advised against it considering the seriousness of his actions and the emotional state of the women afterwards. The official report of the incident, released on Monday by the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, said that a man named Richard John Barry, threw the signs into a yard belonging to a 96-year-old grandmother and her 62-year-old relative....
Dr. Jennifer Susan Wright, 58, of Miami Springs, was arrested on Friday following the alleged assault on January 20, the day of Joe Biden’s inauguration. The Miami Herald reported that Wright became enraged after a man asked her in Spanish to keep her distance due to COVID-19 while waiting in line to pay for groceries at a Publix store in Hialeah, a predominantly Hispanic suburb of Miami. Police said that Wright ignored the man’s request, so he asked again in English....
As Trump mentioned another possible presidential run during the “Save America” rally in Commerce on Saturday night, he also repeated false claims that the 2020 election was somehow stolen from him. He told the crowd: “The truth is I ran twice, I won twice and I did much better the second time. And now we just may have to do it again.” The former president then lashed out at Democrats and President Joe Biden over the inflation crisis, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and the bungled military withdrawal from Afghanistan....
His statement comes after hundreds of people gathered at the Michigan State Capitol Tuesday to demand a forensic audit of the presidential race, despite no findings of widespread fraud. “Big rally in Michigan yesterday, unbelievable spirit and knowledge of what went on with respect to voting and vote counting in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump said in a statement released through his Save America political action committee. Speakers at the event included organizers from a group called Election Integrity Fund and Force, as well as Trump-endorsed candidates Matt DePerno, Steve Carra and Kristina Karamo....
Trump retweeted a clip of a Fox News’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” show early Wednesday morning while aboard Air Force One on his way back from this week’s visit to India. Ed Rollins—a former adviser to President Ronald Reagan—was Dobbs’ guest, and told the host he expected Sanders to win the Democratic nomination whether or not the party establishment wants it to happen. Trump retweeted the clip, adding simply, “Russia wants him to win!...
Sharing a video of himself boasting about the U.S.’s economic recovery following nationwide coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, Trump said: “The Economy is coming back fast!” There have been signs of the economy enjoying a bounce-back since states began easing pandemic shutdown measures in May, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing unemployment fell from its pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April to 11.1 percent in June. Major stock market indices have also largely recovered from their sharp declines at the outbreak of the pandemic....
In an effort to reduce opposition and help America reach herd immunity, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, advised Trump to tell people to get vaccinated. However, the focus group found that people don’t respond to politicians or anyone perceived to be partisan because they don’t trust them. “I was surprised in how not influential Trump was, how irrelevant he had become,” Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster who conducted the focus group, told Newsweek....
