“Polestar 3 will be built in America, for our American customers,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar’s Chief Executive Officer. “I remember the great response when I first shared Polestar’s vision here in the U.S. and I am proud that our first SUV will be manufactured in South Carolina. From now on, the U.S. is no longer an export market but a home market.” The factory currently makes the Volvo S60 midsize sedan....

Start with the right. Start with Marsha Blackburn, the U.S. senator from Tennessee. She idiotically called the infrastructure bill “the gateway to socialism” and, of course, voted against it. The measure passed with the support of 19 other Republican senators, all staring down threats by former President Donald Trump to punish them. Without the infrastructure bill, this country would not be investing $5 billion to install electric-vehicle chargers along American highways....
Look: there are lies and there are lies and everybody knows this, and even knows how to tell what the differences are in degree of moral gravity; but almost no one owns up to this truth out loud (another lie) –at least not for the record, and certainly not while in public life or in the process of trying to get there. I understand that and also that some of the allegations of lying in campaigns this year do concern large and consequential and disqualifying lies that should bar a person from holding office....
In a bill that has sent shockwaves throughout the state—and left Big Pot trembling—House Bill 1317 would massively overhaul the state’s marijuana industry regulations in a way that we have not ever seen. “What we’re trying to do here is address how people view (high-potency marijuana) concentrates and better educate folks,” said lead sponsor of the bill and Speaker of the House Alec Garnett. The chief aim of the bill, which is the brainchild of the Colorado legislature’s only member who also happens to be a medical doctor, Democratic Representative Yadira Caraveo, is to set up and fund a scientific review council to conduct an in-depth examination of the research concerning the potential health effects related to the use of today’s high-potency marijuana....
The survey of 1,209 registered voters found that Obama now leads Clinton by nearly 20 points, or 54 percent to 35 percent, among registered Democrats and those who lean Democratic nationwide. The previous Newsweek poll, conducted in March after Clinton’s big primary wins in Ohio and Texas, showed the two Democrats locked in a statistical tie (45 percent for Obama to 44 percent for Clinton). The new poll puts Obama ahead among women as well as men, and voters aged 60 and older as well as younger voters....
On Saturday, Francis told Reuters that rumors of his possible plans to resign from the papacy are incorrect. In fact, Francis said plans to resign have “never entered my mind.” Some have speculated that a papal resignation may be on the horizon after the Vatican announced in June that Francis would not be going on a previously scheduled trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan this month....
Francis, 85, made an unannounced visit to the store, and a Vatican reporter who happened to be close by captured the visit on camera.

Martinez-Brocal tweeted a black and white photo of the visit, writing a caption in Spanish that translates to read: “The Pope, in a record store in Rome,” according to translation from the Catholic News Agency....
“The Olympics, this is a venue and time where sports transcends all that petty crap between governments,” Popovich said. “There’s no surprise that the coaches enjoyed meeting each other and talking to each other, that the players showed sportsmanship. We just wish this happened in real life.” Popovich shook hands with Iranian coach Mehran Shahintab both before and after the game, complimenting the Iranian team’s performance against Team USA....

United’s No. 7 would be crowned the First Division’s top scorer and FWA Player of the Year and six months later named Europe’s best player. Best was hungry for more glory but, sadly, his life had peaked....
One head coach told ESPN’s Ed Werder those positive tests are “scary.” Another insisted to Werder the start of the season should be delayed, and a third “questioned the wisdom of playing during a pandemic.” The NFL to this point has not done much to alleviate the inevitable concerns associated with playing a season in such conditions. Because the league was fortunate the outbreak reached the United States during its offseason, it has been proceeding business as usual — albeit virtually — through the spring and now the summer....
