Hall dead at 93: College basketball world remembers beloved Kentucky coach When he was in the process of succeeding the legendary Adolph Rupp, who won four NCAA championships and 876 games in 42 years with the Wildcats, Hall often was criticized for his coaching acumen — sometimes viciously — despite exceptional results that included an appearance in the NCAA title game in his third season and a national championship three years after that....
The Biden administration’s plan would create a legal pathway for migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti who have financial sponsors in the U.S. to enter the country. It is modelled on other programs designed to help Ukrainians and Venezuelans enter legally, launched in October 2022. The expected announcement comes as the Republican-led House of Representatives has failed to elect a speaker in six ballots in the past two days amid serious divisions among the lower chamber’s GOP....
In several videos posted to Twitter, Biden and his police escort can be seen arriving in the Detroit suburb of Warren, while a crowd of Trump supporters stands nearby. “Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!” the crowd can be heard yelling towards Biden and his escort. Several supporters can also be seen holding up Trump campaign signs as well as American flags. Biden took to Michigan on Wednesday to speak about an economic plan, the auto industry and unemployment in the state, but moments before he took the stage news broke of Trump telling journalist Bob Woodward that he wanted to downplay the severity of the novel coronavirus pandemic....
Those who embrace the theory see Trump as a savior fighting an evil—and secret—global network of elitists running a so-called deep state government while participating in acts such as Satan-worshipping and child sex trafficking. And polling has shown these beliefs to have gained traction among many Republicans and Trump supporters. For some believers, Trump’s imminent defeat has been perceived as a make or break moment—with the prospect of admitting they were duped by a hoax unless he miraculously pulls out a last-ditch maneuver to stay in power....
As Israel has become a full-fledged military partner, the U.S. intelligence community is also putting more emphasis on its Hebrew language program to spy on its number-one Mideast ally. For the Pentagon, Israel is the most prized military and intelligence partner in the Middle East, with its vast combat experience and advanced technologies. With the end of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, and with the brokering of the Abraham Accords by the Trump administration, Washington sees an opportunity to incorporate Israel into a new regional alliance....
A poll released Thursday by Cygnal shows Biden ahead of Trump by 3.2 percent in the country’s largest swing state. Although Biden’s advantage is within the poll’s 3.3 percent margin of error, other recent polls have also shown Trump slightly behind in the state and a series of additional polls show support for the president falling nationally. The poll was conducted from May 18 to May 30 and surveyed 881 likely Florida voters using a validated online panel....
A Fox News poll published on February 24 found that 61 percent of registered voters didn’t think the president is a strong leader, while just 36 percent believed that he is. The survey was carried out from February 19 to 22 as the Biden administration grappled with the emerging crisis in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine on February 21 and Biden announced an initial tranche of sanctions the following day....
The president’s new proposals and appeal to Congress come amid concerns that easing COVID restrictions combined with America’s fractious political environment might ignite an explosion of gun violence after a near record-breaking year of homicides. The latest police shooting in Minneapolis—in which a police officer shot and killed Duante Wright, a Black man, during a traffic stop—has revived the bubbling anti-police sentiment that gave rise to last summer’s racial justice protests across the nation....
With Americans paying an average of 50 percent more at the pump than this time last year, Biden said the largest release in history from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) showed he was “taking action.” Or at least his administration is seen to be taking action, which is just as important. That’s according to Frank Maisano, energy expert at Bracewell PRG, which represents energy groups. “He had to have some sort of virtue signaling to show people that he was doing something and that really what this is,” he told Newsweek....
The former vice president is priced at 7-1 to win 400 or more electoral college votes, according to Oddschecker, which aggregates betting data from dozens of bookmakers. That compares with President Donald Trump, behind in most nationwide polls, who is a much longer bet at 20-1, giving the president an implied 4.76 percent chance. UK bookmaker Betfair gave longer odds for both candidates of securing a decisive electoral college victory....
The Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll of Missouri’s Democratic voters put former vice president Biden at 48 percent and Sanders, an independent from Vermont, at 44 percent. Biden’s lead is within the poll’s 4.7 percent margin of error. There was 6 percent of voters still undecided and another 2 percent backing Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, a progressive who has remained in the race even as other higher-polling candidates dropped out....
However, recent polling shows that America’s parents are divided on whether to get their children vaccinated against COVID and a significant proportion of parents who have been vaccinated aren’t yet sure. Biden appeared to suggest in remarks at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on Thursday that approval for vaccinations for children aged five to 11 would come soon. “Now, I know parents out there are anxiously waiting for a vaccine for children ages five to 11,” Biden said....
Biden’s administration has relieved some Trump appointees of their positions. On Wednesday, Biden asked 10 Trump appointees to the Federal Services Impasse Panel to resign. Severino said Wednesday that although he had been asked to vacate his three-year-long term on the Council by White House Presidential Personnel Office Deputy Director Gautam Raghavan by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, he would refuse to resign. “President Biden’s attempt to remove me contrary to law exposes his lofty promises of healing and uniting all Americans as nothing more than cynical manipulation,” Severino said in a Wednesday email to Newsweek....
Bobulinski has claimed to have information linking the Biden family to shady business deals in China. When some documentation was published by the New York Post in October which purported to provide evidence, many claimed the story was based on uncorroborated sources. Bobulinski said in a Thursday press conference that he had documentation and electronic devices that would implicate the Bidens. Pseudonyms for major players in the business were allegedly used in the emails including the word “chairman,” which Bobulinski claims is how Hunter Biden referred to Joe Biden....
