In a video shared on Twitter Friday by Washington Post reporter Philip Bump, Trump can be heard suggesting that several states—including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire—could face ballot scrutiny as well. “Let’s see what they find. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found thousands and thousands and thousands of votes, so we’re going to watch that very closely,” Trump said in the video. “You’ll watch Pennsylvania, and Georgia, and you’re going to watch Michigan and Wisconsin, and you’re watching New Hampshire – they found a lot of votes up in New Hampshire just now – because this was a rigged election, and everybody knows it....

“Everybody that sees me, every foreign leader that sees me, they come up and they say, ‘What are you doing? Congratulations, we’ve never seen anything like it,’” he said. “They want to do it too, but it doesn’t work out so well for them. We are doing something that’s never been done before, and our numbers reflect it.” Participating in a Christmas Eve teleconference from Mar-a-Lago with members of the military, Trump claimed that the current unemployment is “the best we’ve ever had....

“India has long had a field day putting Tariffs on American products. No longer acceptable!” Trump wrote on Twitter, a claim similar to that he has levied against China throughout the trade conflict with Beijing. Last month, India levied tariffs against the U.S., which had previously issued its own tariffs against India. While public attention has focused heavily on trade tensions with China, the Trump administration has been engaged in a trade dispute with India since 2018....

However, how does the microphone stack up to the competition? And how does it fare in day-to-day use? I’ve used the Trust GXT 255+ Onyx for podcasting, streaming and video calls to see whether this piece of audio equipment is worth investing in. Design and features Flexible boom armRGB lightingEasy to assemble Despite the bulbous appearance of the Trust GXT 255+ Onyx, it is easy to set up. All the parts come laid out in a box, and the whole device comes in at a weight of 1....

Daily figures show TSA processed 1,019,836 passengers on Friday. On the same day in 2019, there were 2,550,459 passengers. This decline is almost certainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Friday was the first day since October 18 that TSA has dealt with more than a million passengers. This is a significant increase from the day before, when just 907,332 traveler were processed. There were 703,135 on November 18. TSA has processed more than a million passengers on just two days since June 5....

Just about everything that can be said or written in appreciation of Michael Jordan has been said and written. So here are a few random secondary observations: • Jordan is by acclamation the greatest basketball player of all time. No argument here. You also could make a good case for him as the greatest athlete in any team sport. At the same time, I also would suggest that the acclaim Jordan is now receiving, while well-deserved, is disproportionate to his standing alongside other all-time greats....

CHICAGO — It is assumed that Dave DeBusschere is alive and well today, though for a few anxious moments you would not have flipped a coin for his chances. The executive vice president of the New York Knicks, always a pressure player, looked very close to losing his faculties as he waited out the dramatic resolution of Patrick Ewing’s future. One can only imagine the same anxiousness on the face of Gen....

“(Rafa) Nadal (is favourite), because he’s incredible on clay,” Mbappe told the French Open website. “And I’m backing Jo-Wilfried Tsonga too – although I’m biased, because I’ve got a soft spot for him!” Mbappe has emerged as one of the top talents in Europe following a stellar season which ended with his club winning a first league title in 17 years. The 18-year-old is also an admirer of tennis, a game he played when he was younger....

Tubal pregnancies can damage nearby organs and cause life-threatening internal bleeding, requiring emergency treatment. Symptoms In the first several weeks of gestation, symptoms of a tubal pregnancy can be similar to the symptoms of a normal pregnancy, such as a missed period, fatigue, and nausea. Pregnancy tests taken at the beginning of a tubal pregnancy will usually show a positive result, even though the pregnancy won’t be able to grow into a healthy baby....

The 17-year-old Swede likened to his national counterpart Zlatan Ibrahimovic, claimed, “I had some offers on the table but it felt like Dortmund was the right place for me as a young player to develop.” There’s certainly evidence to back up Isak’s claim, who will join an already mouthwatering youthful contingent comprised of Julian Weigl, Ousmane Dembele and Christian Pulisic to name but a few. The latter himself just signed a contract extension to stay put at the Signal Iduna Park until 2020, despite being the subject of interest from a host of other big clubs....

Tiara Soleim appeared on season 20 of The Bachelor in 2016 but she spoke to Carlson in her capacity as a self-styled “chicken enthusiast” and explained that she commonly kissed and cuddled her chickens. “Don’t kiss or snuggle backyard poultry, and don’t eat or drink around them,” the CDC advised on Thursday. “This can spread Salmonella germs to your mouth and make you sick.” In a brief video before the interview, Soleim described her chickens as her “babies” and discussed her “one special chicken” named Sheila, calling her “my one true love....

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Tunisia were handed a relatively easy passage to their fifth World Cup but they went through the African preliminaries with a proficiency that augurs well for next year’s finals in Russia. The north African country - whose size and population of nearly 12 million belies a regular seat at African soccer’s head table – won their group ahead of Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya and Guinea to qualify for the first time since 2006....

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, led by Republicans, determined that absentee ballot drop-boxes can only be put in election offices and that only the voter can return a ballot in person, according to the Associated Press. In 2020, the drop-boxes were used for voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the court found the Wisconsin Elections Commission overstepped its boundaries by allowing the use of ballot boxes. The decision hands a win to Republicans, who have, without substantial evidence, claimed the boxes led to widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, which some claim was stolen from Trump....

At a military and security plenary session in Beijing, Sergei Shoigu criticized the move by President Donald Trump to pull the U.S. out of the 1987 treaty, which had banned missiles with a range of up to 3,400 miles. The U.S. and NATO had long accused Moscow of violating the treaty by deploying a new type of cruise missile, which the Kremlin always denied. The U.S. pulled out of the agreement in August and then tested a missile with a range previously banned under the treaty....

According to the White House media pool update, the President’s motorcade arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling at 9:57 a.m. on November 8. The president was met with both supporters and protesters waving flags and banners as he entered the golf in his motorcade. According to CNN, this is the 300th time that Trump has attended one of his golf courses during his time in office. An independent website, Trump Golf Count, places the number at slightly lower, claiming that there have been 284 visits by Trump to his courses since his inauguration in January 2017, with evidence of playing golf on at least 141 visits....

“It appears most of the folks down on the National Mall won’t be able to get very close to the tanks and military vehicles down by the Lincoln Memorial. That area is behind a lot of fencing and security (accessible to VIP’s and other ticketed guests),” Acosta tweeted on Thursday afternoon, alongside several photos of the fenced-off area by the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Prior to the event, the Pentagon announced that it had given 5,000 tickets to attend the VIP sections of the event to military personnel and their families as well as other groups and donors....

Trump’s drop in support among Christian groups ranged from four percentage points to 11 with the highest being among Catholics, according to a Pew Research poll. The president still holds a 72 percent approval rating from white evangelical Protestants, a key group in his 2016 election victory, but support has dropped by six percentage points since April. Back in 2016, 81 percent of white evangelical Christians voted for Trump, Pew Research found, representing a three percent increase from Mitt Romney during the 2012 election....

In a major blow to the former president, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeated Republican candidate Joe Kent early Sunday, flipping a seat that has been held by the GOP for over a decade. It comes as Trump has been blamed for backing losing candidates that have cost Republicans the chance to make big gains in the House and Senate as many had forecast. Gluesenkamp Perez’s victory is the “biggest upset of the 2022 election,” FiveThirtyTwo’s Nathaniel Rakich noted on Twitter....

The event was initially scheduled to take place at La Crosse Regional Airport in western Wisconsin’s La Crosse County. On Thursday, Trump’s campaign website listed Janesville Regional Airport in Janesville, a city in southern Wisconsin’s Rock County, as the new location. Ian Turner, the director of the La Crosse Regional Airport, told Newsweek that the event posed a legal issue—not because of the state’s rising infection rates, but because of a lease agreement with one of the airport’s tenants who was serving as the rally’s host....

In June, after failing to garner support from Republicans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formed a select committee to investigate the events of January 6. Criticizing the move as a partisan play, Trump has railed against the two Republicans Pelosi appointed to the committee, calling them RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and dismissing the probe as a “witch hunt” against him. In his statement on Wednesday, Trump said the committee should conclude that the “real insurrection happened on November 3rd, the presidential election....
