Wood, Powell and Flynn have been key promoters of former President Donald Trump’s groundless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. Wood and Powell filed multiple election challenge lawsuits together on behalf of Trump following that contest. Powell also previously represented Flynn after the latter initially pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017. Wood on Friday claimed that he believed Flynn, Powell, and others involved with the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement are grifters....

During the interview on Real America’s Voice, Mandel criticized “squishy establishment Republicans” who have worked across the aisle with Democrats to pass a bipartisan infrastructure plan that includes funding for roads and bridges, high-speed internet, rail and transit, drinking water upgrades and other priorities meant to shore up the nation’s crumbling infrastructure. “Now is not the time for bipartisanship. Now is not the time for civility. Now is the time for fighters,” he said....

Gus Malzahn was in town visiting with his buddy Art Briles, presumably to talk a little offense. Briles likely wasn’t impressed with the hoops action. The No. 2 Jayhawks won 66-60. Baylor scored at least 60 five times last football season.

Kilganon, a 6-1 professional dunker, has been known to pull of some incredible feats on the basketball court. A 75-inch box jump, though? That doesn’t even sound possible!

The thing is, Kilganon has pogo sticks for legs, so he makes jumping on a box that stands at 6-3 — far taller than your average human — look pretty easy....

Progestin is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. Because it does not contain estrogen, the mini pill may have fewer side effects than other forms of hormonal birth control. Progestin-only birth control is considered a safer form of birth control for those who are over the age of 35, smoke, or are at risk for heart attack or stroke. It is between 93% and 99% effective in preventing pregnancy....

No one doubts that the Constitution creates a peculiar system for choosing presidents. During the adoption of our national charter, the Framers rejected several obvious methods. They rejected congressional selection because they wanted an independent, energetic executive to check the legislature. They spurned national popular election because they worried that a demagogue might seize power. But they also wanted the people to enjoy the primary voice, as mediated through the most important governments of the day, the states....

In the United States, where Christianity’s decline is reported and even cheered on, it will remain the majority religion in 2050, growing from 243 million to 262 million believers, including 83 percent of African Americans and 80 percent of Hispanics. And all without the help of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Though the media isn’t covering the story, Christianity is growing rapidly around the world. In Africa, there were a mere 8....

Many coaches and athletes believe being able to properly concentrate may be the most important mental skill in sports. Their argument usually is, it doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t keep your mind on the task at hand. Many sports upsets have been explained by a lack of focus or concentration. Serena Williams once said, “If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that’s concentration....

Dozens of protesters held signs near the Atomic Bomb Dome that read “Cancel The Olympics” and “No Bach.” One protester said, “You should understand you are not welcome here.” “The COVID-19 situation is getting worse, it hasn’t come to an end, and I wonder why this has to go ahead,” said Sayuri Yamada, a medical worker. However, she was not among the protesters. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below....

Known as the “Coal Baron Blockade,” the protest took place at Grant Town Coal Waste Power Plant, which receives inefficient coal waste byproducts, known as “gob,” from Enersystems, a company run by Manchin’s son, Joe Manchin IV, according to the Independent. Manchin disclosed around $490,000 in income from the company in a 2020 SEC filing. Protestors gathered in opposition to Manchin’s policy decisions regarding climate change and clean energy. The centrist Democrat notably opposed significant portions of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better spending plan, which included numerous measures to combat climate change....

Matt Couch, head of America First Media Group and one of the main advocates of the false claim that Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich was murdered for leaking DNC to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign, uploaded a video onto social media providing an update on Enrique Tarrio’s arrest while claiming it “not near as bad as it seems.” Tarrio, chairman of the far-right group, was arrested on January 4 while entering the District of Columbia by the Metropolitan Police Department and charged with destruction of property....

It was a critical, if tentative, opening to one of the world’s most secret armies. ““What we’re trying to do is engage them in a dialogue,’’ says a senior Pentagon official. A lot rides on the uneasy relationship between Washington and Beijing – from the fate of Asian security to the future of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. China, with 1.2 billion people and a $23 billion trade surplus with America, can help or harm significantly....

Finding a PS5 in stock amid the virtual mayhem will be difficult but certainly not impossible. Xbox users went through the same ordeal earlier this week, and many were able to track down a console without a preorder. Sony is expected to sell at least 15 million PlayStation units by the end of next year, according to one estimate, and perhaps many more if it can meet production demand during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic....

Among the thousands of replies, a fan favorite quickly emerged: the 2007 horror flick, The Mist. Based on Stephen King’s 1980 novella of the same name, the film tells the story of a Maine town overtaken by a thick, foggy mist—and the creatures it carries—in the aftermath of a freak storm. “It’s a great movie but also I will never watch it again because of the ending alone,” wrote one scarred Twitter user....

The scientists searched Google for websites selling fish antibiotics in the U.S., and looked for sites that included product information, consumer reviews and publicly available comments. They focused on nine fish antibiotics that could be misused by humans: amoxicillin, cephalexin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, metronidazole, penicillin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. The team noted the cost and availability of the drugs, and compared the number of likes and dislikes for 2,288 reviews related to human and non-human use....

The Netflix show stars Anna Taylor-Joy as the protagonist, Beth Harmon, who grows up in an orphanage in the 1950s. She develops a talent for chess, and goes on to win multiple tournaments, while battling addiction issues. The hit show, released last year, scooped 11 Emmy Awards and while a second season was ruled out, fans can now get their hands on a boardgame inspired by the series. A shopper spotted the box, entitled “Netflix The Queen’s Gambit The Board Game,” with a promo photo of the show on the cover....

Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti said there is a $100,000 reward to identify the man. The internet appeared to come to the same hilarious conclusion for the identity of the mysteriously handsome man — Tom Brady. 

In a new study, researchers at Washington State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that individuals who talk to their doctors are more likely to get vaccinated during a pandemic. The team surveyed over 19,000 people across the United States to see if their relationship with their doctor played a role in informing their decision to get a vaccine during the “swine flu” (H1N1), the last pandemic in the U....
