There may be some surprises when Klinsmann announces his roster for the World Cup qualifiers against Mexico and Costa Rica, but don’t expect completely new faces. There will be some youngsters, to be sure, but if you haven’t earned a cap yet for the U.S., chances are that first cap won’t be coming this year.

As the Wisconsin State-Journal reported, Representative Scott Allen of the Wisconsin State Assembly proposed a Black History Month resolution earlier in December that mostly honors white Americans. Of the 10 Wisconsinites recognized in Allen’s resolution, only four were African American. Six were white people from Wisconsin who had assisted in helping enslaved black people escape via the Underground Railroad or were abolitionists. The black people recognized in the resolution were Wisconsinites who had formerly been enslaved in the South....

After President Joe Biden’s disastrous surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan—in which he didn’t consult or even inform our allies—supporting Taiwan’s independence is more important than ever. America’s failure to keep our decades-long public commitment to Taiwan would be devastating. It would shatter our reputation as a reliable ally, and countries around the world would become more likely to accommodate the Chinese Communist Party. Our entire global alliance system would collapse....

White nationalist Kyle Chapman—who set up the “tactical defense arm” of the Proud Boys, the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights (FOAK)—has criticized the group’s chairman Enrique Tarrio while announcing a so-called rebranding of the organization. Writing on encrypted messaging app Telegram, Chapman used racial slurs against Tarrio and other neo-Nazi rhetoric while announcing that the “grifting leaders” had been deposed and the group would be renamed the Proud Goys. The term “goy”—a Hebrew word for a non-Jewish person—is sometimes used by white supremacists to signal their anti-Semitic beliefs, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center....

Tarrio, chairman of the organisation, said he was part of the group that ignited the banner, which had been torn from Asbury United Methodist Church, one of the oldest Black churches in Washington, following the pro-Donald Trump rally on December 12. The act is being investigated as a potential hate crime by the Metropolitan Police Department, with police and the FBI also offering a reward for anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and indictment....

On the official PlayStation blog, questions regarding the PS5 and what peripherals work with it were answered. But the question that affects the most gamers is how the PS4 Dualshock controller plays with the PS5. According to the blog, “the DualShock 4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported PS4 games.” Simply, the DualShock 4 will work for PS4 games that the PS5 can play, but there’s no mention of if PS5 games support the controller....

Real Madrid fans were quick to congratulate the forward, 31, for bagging a fresh deal at the Santiago Bernabeu a few months after he scored the winning penalty in their Champions League final victory. But not everyone was so kind — some were quick to make jokes about Ronaldo’s glasses and ponder whether that might help explain his shoddy free kick success rate this season! What do you make of Ronaldo’s bespectacled look?...

The incident occurred on Monday at Worthington’s school board meeting after officials asked the people in attendance to cover their faces in order to help protect themselves and others against COVID-19.

Popular Subreddit, “Ask Reddit,” often sees users ask relatively out-there questions, and this time, users who knew a murderer were asked to spill about the red flags they missed beforehand. “People who knew murderers before they killed someone, what red flags didn’t you notice at the time?” asked Reddit user white-cherries, specifying for “Serious Replies Only.” Answers revealed gripping details ranging from memories of “sociopath stares” to absolutely no red flags, making the news even more shocking....

Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola go way back and the Arsenal manager conceded he would rather be going up against someone other than his Manchester City counterpart as the Gunners attempt to drive home their advantage at the top of the Premier League table over the second half of this season. “It’s a strange feeling,” said Arteta ahead of Friday’s FA Cup fourth-round trip to City, a game that precedes a crunch February 15 showdown between the top two at Emirates Stadium....

When Liverpool traveled to the Etihad to perhaps decide the 2021/22 English top flight crown in April, 2022, managers Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp faced off in one of the biggest Premier League games in recent memory. That match ended in a draw, which gave Man City the edge they needed, vaulting to yet another Premier League title by just a single point above the Reds. The two managers have plenty of history, and while the two Premier League sides have much to do with that, it goes back further than just meetings between the Reds and Citizens....

Perarnau has continued working closely with Guardiola and his team his recent years and his new book “Pep Guardiola: The Evolution,” which charts his transformation during his time in Germany and the reasons behind his move to the Etihad Stadium, will be released in English in November....

What followed was an advert for the inclusion of both players in the regular starting XI. The pair supplied two crucial touches each in the build-up to Paul Pogba’s opener, then Rooney crossed from the left to Ibrahimovic to steady himself and fire home a second goal. Before half-time Rooney picked up the big No.9’s knock-down then carried the ball forward before returning the ball to Ibra for United to take a 3-0 lead....

Self-serving? Perhaps. But al-Naimi’s view has lately been echoed by oil-company executives and Wall Street analysts. Indeed, hedge funds, investment banks, program traders and ordinary investors have been piling billions into oil futures, gas options and complicated energy derivatives.) One analyst says the energy-assets market—opaque, and virtually non-existent a half decade ago—could be as big as $20 trillion. Energy hedge funds now number 600 (up from 180 in 2004). Investment banks like Morgan Stanley have made up to a quarter of their recent profits from energy trades, says hedge-fund tracker Peter Fusaro....

Here is what you need to know before having electrolysis. Since hair growth occurs in three different phases and your hair isn’t all at the same phase at the same time, multiple treatments are needed to ensure each hair is caught at the appropriate time in its growth cycle. That being said, many women do report some discomfort from electrolysis due to the insertion of the needle (a slight stinging feeling) over and over again into each hair follicle being treated....
