Days later, on July 26, Trump walked back his previous statement and said that he was unable to due to his “strong focus on the China Virus.” This announcement surprised the Yankees staff, who said that there was no invitation extended to Trump, CNN reported. According to The New York Times, Trump seemed to make this announcement amid irritation with Dr. Anthony Fauci being invited to throw the Opening Day first pitch at the Washington Nationals game agains the Yankees....

The self-proclaimed professional trash-talker has drawn the ire of conservatives after tweeting about—who else?—President Donald Trump on Tuesday. But the 59-year-old comedian is no stranger to criticism or venom—especially when it’s coming from those who support her longtime nemesis, Trump. After all, her latest off-color wisecrack on social media is the least of Griffin’s offenses. She’s feuded with some of America’s elite, been essentially blacklisted by Hollywood, censored from award shows and cut from TV programs, all because of her snarky commentary....

The 28-year-old activist and mother arrived at a Kmart in New York City last Sunday afternoon to protest something she’d read about in The Village Voice, the New York weekly. The store has been selling Easter baskets filled not with traditional chocolate bunnies, but instead with military action figures. The packages, wrapped in pretty bows, also contained little machine guns, grenades and knives. She quietly stood inside the store holding a sign that read SOMEONE’S IN MY EASTER BASKET … AND IT’S G....

The latest of these is downtown Beirut, where barricades and barbed wire fortify the offices of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. On the one side, the duly elected Lebanese government clings tenaciously to power behind cohorts of armed soldiers backed by APCs. On the other, camped in tents, are thousands of demonstrators who seek to topple it. The government has its foreign backers: the United States, the United Nations, France and the EU, as well as such pro-Western Arab nations as Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia....

The evil nature dates back to the party’s origins. The CCP rose to power just as it has remained there: through deception. In 1924, it entered an alliance with China’s then-reigning Nationalist Party government, whom it quickly betrayed before dragging the nation into a 15-year civil war. Starting in the 1930s, the CCP conspired with Japanese invaders to take down China’s government. It pretended to join the nationalist government in a “United Front” against the Japanese, a feint it then exploited to sell critical intelligence to Tokyo....

Commitment Watch, like the CW, was the brainchild of columnist and Senior Editor Jonathan Alter, and like its sibling, it relied on a wry sense of humor to make its point. But Commitment Watch also aimed to make a difference. When organizers announced plans in February for the nonpartisan Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future and called on corporate and nonprofit groups to make specific, public commitments to helping at-risk children, Alter suggested keeping tabs, week by week, on the mounting pledges–and challenging others to join the cause....

Six years of a chaotic and sometimes violent democratic transition, following the ouster of strongman ruler Suharto in 1998, has many Indonesians longing for the good old days of stable, authoritarian rule–minus the economic plunder and human-rights abuses. Indeed, a recent survey shows that 47 percent of the public wants the armed forces, which were all but stripped of their formal political role four years ago, to once again take center stage....

Jimenez’s own honeymoon is just beginning. Last week her collection–titled “Cosmology in Flesh”–was the talk of the prestigious Designer Debut presentation at New York’s Fall 2001 Fashion Week. “Jimenez may have stolen the show with her not-of-this-world clothes,” said Fashion Wire Daily. Although her designs have been displayed for years at a New York art gallery–and she’s built a cult following that includes Courtney Love, Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz–she says she “felt like a debutante coming out” in front of the hundreds of editors and buyers at her first major runway show....

They may have done it just for the thrill. Teens charged with chilling crimes–from the lovers accused of killing their baby in Delaware to the service-academy couple from Texas–are not uncommon. But at least those alleged murders had motives, however twisted. Police have found little about the New Jersey pizza case to explain Koskovich and Vreeland’s suspected role beyond the mixture of alienation and acute boredom that sometimes leads kids to do stupid things–even murder....

The problem is, that only holds true if the international community agrees about what principles are worth defending with force–and fortunately for the world’s autocrats, it can’t seem to. Disarray among allies has allowed Bosnia to bum and threatens to undo a unified front in Somalia. Meanwhile, a dozen civil wars rage in other places, raising little more than a tsk-tsk from the West. All of which is good news for anyone with big guns, strong ambitions and a powerful disrespect for human life, For the aspiring dictator, here is a guide to prospering in the new world order....

BROWNELL: What is the appeal of the “Live From the West”? SHISHKOVSKY: The show is quite different, unique. I know that lots of listeners are tuning in especially to listen to this radio show. Maybe the rest of the week they do not listen to the radio at all. It is the only program from the West playing the latest releases–by a Russian, for Russians–and it is like a window to the British and American music market....

After the reports that emerged Wednesday of O’Brien’s in-fighting with Watt and other members of the Texans, it makes sense why Watt was happy to see that the sun did indeed come out the next day. Watt, Houston’s best defensive player, reportedly had a heated exchange with O’Brien on the practice field leading up to O’Brien’s firing. O’Brien was fired from his role as Texans head coach and general manager Monday evening following Houston’s 0-4 start to the 2020 NFL season....

LESS THAN 24 HOURS later, the compound’s consular section and gatehouse were a pile of rubble. The scene on the street corner was like something out of a war zone, wreathed in smoke and the acrid smell of burning gasoline from the parked cars in the consulate compound. And Roger Short, the British consul-general and someone I have known for two years, was dead. Short, 59, was one of the 27 killed in the two suicide bombings at the consulate and the Istanbul offices of a London-based bank on Thursday....

Cresson has taken a beating since she was named France’s first woman prime minister in May. According to one poll, only 50 percent have faith in her–down a precipitous 15 percentage points since June. Far from infusing what Mitterrand hoped would be a “new elan” into the Socialist government, Madame le Premier Ministre is looking like a liability. Last week Cresson excoriated her critics, and began trying to project a more take-charge tone....

How extensive those might be, however, remains to be seen. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now conducting an environmental impact review of the Starship project, possibly resulting in years of delays. The bureaucratic attention is sorely misplaced; instead of focusing on the potential environmental and climatological impact of Starship, the FAA (and the Biden administration at large) should instead be weighing the opportunity costs of delaying the venture. That’s because Starship has the potential to be a game changer in the fight against climate change....

The amount of oil depends on the length, texture, and density of your beard. Apply beard oil to slightly damp hair. Beard oil can be purchased from most big-box stores and barbershops. Purchase organic beard conditioners when possible. These products can be purchased from big-box stores, pharmacies, and popular online suppliers. Always rub your hands downward in the direction of beard flow. You can also dry your beard using a blow dryer with a nozzle attachment and a boar-bristle brush....

Streaming from an encoder often results in much higher-quality live streaming than does using a website’s built-in streaming with your webcam. When encoding a stream, you’ll have to retrieve a key and an address from your selected streaming service and then plug both piece of information into OBS Studio (or any other streaming application). Twitch - Go to https://www. twitch. tv/ and log in if necessary, click your username in the upper-right corner, click Dashboard, click the Channel tab below “Settings” on the left side of the page, click Stream Key, click Show Key, click I understand, and copy your key....

For a grunge-inspired look, try parting your hair in the center. [2] X Research source This should be done right after washing your hair. Use a blow dryer while brushing the top back to give your hair more volume. Pompadours look best on men with longer hair on top (at least 2–3 in (5. 1–7. 6 cm) long) and shorter sides. Wash your hair before tousling it for a clean look and feel....
