Unfazed by the numerical disadvantage, Kalou would, however, double their lead in the 31st minute benefitting from a Valentino Lazaro assist to grab his seventh league goal in 14 appearances this term. The 32-year-old had netted twice in their 3-1 win over Hannover 96 on Wednesday. Selke completed his brace after the break and the Bulls forced a comeback, but failed.

Harris will tour some of the damage caused by the ongoing wildfires, which are among the largest in the state’s history. Trump will be briefed at McClellan Park, a former Air Force base, though it’s not clear if he’ll visit the affected areas as he did in 2018. Cal Fire frequently uses nearby McClellan Airport to launch tankers with fire retardant. “The President continues to support those who are battling raging wildfires in a locally-executed, state-managed, and federally-supported emergency response,” said White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere....

In a Thursday interview with the Today show’s Craig Melvin, the vice president dismissed a question on whether President Joe Biden would again seek the nation’s top office, with her as his running mate. “I’m sorry, we are thinking about today,” she said. “I mean, honestly, I know why you’re asking the question, because this is part of the punditry and the gossip around places like Washington, D.C.” She added that the administration is focused on “the things in front of us” and “what we need to do,” like providing Americans with access to affordable child care, among other concerns....

“After the murders of Breonna and George and Ahmaud and so many others, it’s no wonder people have taken to the streets. And I support them,” Harris said, referencing the police killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Ahmaud Abery. “We must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protesters. We should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of violence, including the shooter who was arrested for murder....

Kane among PL’s top hat-trick scorers Kane netted four as Spurs put Leicester City to the sword 6-1 on Thursday and Mauricio Pochettino’s second-placed side underlined there was no hangover associated with missing out on the title to Chelsea as they ran riot at the KCOM Stadium.

The England international lasted just eight minutes of Tottenham’s 6-0 FA Cup thrashing of Millwall at White Hart Lane after injuring his ankle during an innocuous looking challenge with Jake Cooper. Alli’s secret handshake ridiculed “He twisted his ankle. Now we wait, assess and see what happened,” Pochettino said. “It is the same ankle as he injured against Sunderland. “We hope it’s not a big issue but it looks similar [to the injury earlier in the season]....

Southgate has refrained from naming a permanent skipper since his appointment in 2016, with Wayne Rooney, Jordan Henderson, Gary Cahill, Joe Hart, Eric Dier and Kane all taking their turn at leading the team since then. Tottenham striker Kane has worn the armband on four occasions and has been tipped as a potential permanent captain if Southgate opts to give one of his players the job full-time. “The manager has said he will make that decision in his own time, so we’ll have to see,” he told FourFourTwo....

Dr. Lee Norman told the Kansas News Service that he resigned from his positions as the state health officer and at the state Department of Health and Environment because he was told to do so.

Many Republicans in Kansas’ legislature have publicly opposed vaccine mandates and other measures to slow the spread of COVID-19....

The 134-year-old publication stopped using the word “Redskins” long ago, although the exact whos and whys of that decision remain a bit of a mystery. “It was about 10 years ago, maybe a little bit more than that,” Public Editor Derek Donovan told Sporting News. “Nobody remembers for sure who made the call — nobody can remember exactly who brought it up.” The idea — abolishing use of the word that various organizations consider a form of harmful, offensive ethnic stereotyping — has caught on....

Officer Brian Rousseau, 46, had served as a patrol officer since 2018 for North Newton, a city of about 1,800 people located roughly 30 miles north of Wichita. Previously, he worked nearly 18 years with the Newton Police Department and held several roles on the Harvey County Emergency Response Team, according to the city’s Facebook page. “Brian was very dedicated to the profession.

“If not this year, we’ll keep trying until we’re successful,” Erickson said. Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed the measure after labeling the bill “regressive.” Kelly said the law would hurt the state’s capacity to recruit businesses, but further emphasized that the bill signified a “devastating” message that “Kansas is not welcoming to all children and their families. Kansas is one of more than 20 states that have considered a ban like this....

Mr. Kanye West did not,” Will Dinneen, spokesman for the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office confirmed to local publication the Casper Star Tribune. West filed the paperwork to get on the Wyoming ballot on August 17, but it was reported that his petitioners were promising signatures for West will take votes away from Democratic candidate Joe Biden and help Donald Trump’s re-election bid....

The rapper made a controversial denunciation of the Democratic Party in an interview with radio DJ Big Boy last week, claiming that black Americans have historically been “brainwashed” into supporting the Democrats instead of exercising individual choice. “Democrats had us voting Democrats for food stamps for years, bro,” the rapper said. “Guns in the ’80s, taking the fathers out the homes, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort our children....

Jean-Pierre defended Biden during a White House press conference on Wednesday in the wake of criticism the president received for last week calling the ideology of Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump “semi-fascism.” She then denounced what she characterized as Trump-inspired attacks on federal law enforcement and slammed recent rhetoric from several Republicans. “Sadly, there are more examples than I can count of how we have seen recently armed attacks on federal law enforcement,” said Jean-Pierre, before noting that GOP Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona had “posted videos depicting him attacking the president and members of Congress,” which led to him being censured and removed from House committee assignments in December 2021....
