In the days that followed, Mora, who has been married to Kelis since 2014, shared further details of his grueling battle as he appeared to remain positive in his posts.

Georgia saw a record voter turnout in November and with control of the Senate on the line, Democrats and Republicans pushed people to register to vote who didn’t cast a ballot in the general election. The last day to register was December 7, and with early in-person beginning on Monday, Loeffler and Perdue said not having a list of who was registered “unacceptable.” “This lack of transparency needs to be rectified immediately, or the integrity of our elections will remain threatened,” Perdue and Loeffler said in a joint statement....

The Republican and former federal judge issued the infamous 1998 Starr Report detailing Clinton’s salacious sexual behavior and accusations of perjury, but he said today’s unprecedented “polarization” has caused House Democrats to use impeachment as a “first resort” rather than the last. Starr responded to Tuesday’s 240-187 House of Representatives vote officially condemning Trump’s racist “go back” tweets. Speaking with Fox News Tuesday, Starr partially blamed Trump impeachment talk on a lack of a “foreign enemy at war” and there being no event similar to the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks which he labeled a “unifying force” in years past....

After the Nets announced Friday night Irving will not travel with the team for its upcoming road games against the Knicks, Cavs and Celtics, current ESPN analyst and former Boston center Kendrick Perkins questioned the severity of Irving’s right shoulder injury. Wednesday’s game between the Nets and Celtics would have brought Irving back to TD Garden for the first time since he left Boston in free agency following a tumultuous 2018-19 season....

Kennedy’s troubles come at a time when the state’s revitalized GOP can produce several strong challengers for his seat. The strongest contender would be popular GOP Gov. William Weld. Kennedy had planned to use the December congressional recess for fence mending at home. Instead, he’ll be in Florida testifying at his nephew’s trial. Even his most eloquent moment in the Senate two weeks ago, decrying the fact that victims of sexual harassment are labeled “sick” or accused of “making the whole thing up,” was undermined by the Palm Beach scandal, “Sounds like Willie’s defense in a nutshell,” said Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr....

The 2021 NFL season was Roethlisberger’s last in the NFL. He retired after the team lost to the Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs, and with good reason. Injuries had sapped his throwing power and most of his mobility by the end of his career, and that made it hard for him to be anything other than a dink-and-dunk quarterback. Pittsburgh is facing uncertainty as it ushers in a new era at quarterback....

Bitsko, 21, a fourth-year junior who started all 12 games last season, was found unresponsive in the bedroom of his off-campus apartment before 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to a statement from Kent State. “Kent State University and the entire Kent community mourns his passing,” Ken State AD Joel Nielsen said. “We are heartbroken by the news of Jason’s death.

Wenyen Gabriel has gone from having zero offers to being courted by the country’s elite programs in a little over a year. After taking a number of visits and trimming his list down, Gabriel felt now was the time to end his recruitment. A talented combo-forward with a burgeoning perimeter arsenal, he has really just begun to scratch the surface of his potential. MORE: John Calipari through the years...

They have played and won 21 games following Saturday’s home dismissal of Alabama, which put them just over the crest of the hill. It will not feel like that, of course. They will not simply be able to take their foot from the brake and glide home with the wind rushing past. It will only get more difficult to finish as the first unbeaten NCAA champion in 39 years....

The son of a former Kentucky governor, Beshear was elected in 2019 after serving as the state’s attorney general since 2015, according to his campaign website. He announced in October that he would be seeking reelection. The over $1 million in funds he has already raised is the strongest initial fundraising figure for an incumbent governor of Kentucky, according to his campaign. Beshear said that the financial support has come from all across the state and was not limited to one party...

So Diallo would sit and watch. He arrived at the University of Kentucky on Dec. 27, which means he watched UK play nearly two dozen times before its season ended in the NCAA Tournament South Regional final loss to North Carolina. And he’d wonder. “When the games were close, my butt was getting itchy on the bench every time,” Diallo told Sporting News. “I just wanted to get in, just wanted to take that warmup off for once and show everybody what I can do....

MORE: Must-see NCAA photos | West Virginia talking tough | Game preview | WVU-UK betting line, pick “He’s a different person off the court,” Hawkins told Sporting News. “But on the court, he’s very serious.” Of all the elements of this Kentucky team that generate discussion, what’s rarely considered is one of the most common subjects regarding any successful — or, for that matter, unsuccessful — athletic team: internal leadership....

Senate President Pro Tem David Givens told the Associated Press that there are concerns within the caucus about continuing to fund “an institution that hasn’t taken care of itself.” KSU, a historically Black university located in Frankfort, is currently in a transition period following its former president, M. Christopher Brown, stepping down in July amid finance concerns and lawsuits alleging campus officials’ misconduct. Also, according to statistics from Kentucky’s Council on Postsecondary Education, KSU has a four-year graduation rate of 15....

The altercation appeared to have been sparked after a woman was not given a fork and napkin with her food order, eyewitnesses to the incident told local media outlet WLKY. The store was closed Monday, and police say the investigation is ongoing. An image that was posted to Facebook yesterday by Shelbyville resident Steve Cook showed the drive-thru window’s glass after it had been shattered. “This happen at KFC early today some [woman] got [mad] over paper towels and a fork and shot a 9mm at workers in Shelbyville today,” he wrote in a caption....

Children get keratosis pilaris when their hair follicles fill up with dead skin cells and scales instead of exfoliating normally. What It Looks Like Children with keratosis pilaris will have small, scaly, red or flesh colored bumps on both cheeks, upper arms, and/or thighs. It can even occur on a child’s back and buttocks. Although the rash feels rough, like sandpaper, it typically isn’t itchy, making keratosis pilaris a mostly cosmetic issue....

The Warriors star forward likely knew when he decided to sign with Golden State this offseason that there would be no shortage of critics ready to pounce on him for being a ring chaser, lazy millennial or whatever other silly insult one can conjure up.
