Thank you President Donald J Trump! There’s not a day that goes by where we don’t get to laugh our butts off watching the collapse of the mainstream liberal media. As you may well know at this point — On Friday CNN reported that Candidate Donald Trump received an email warning that linked to “unreleased” […]

Abadi’s carefully calibrated statement came months after armed forces had wrested back control over Iraq’s major urban areas, notably its second-largest city, Mosul, and had shifted focus to mopping up remnants of the militants...

Over four years after his last victory, Tiger Woods remains the biggest story in golf, and it's not even close.

Between Sergio Garcia's Masters win, Justin Thomas' breakout season, and Jordan Spieth's continued climb towards immortality, there were a number of big developments in the professional game this year. And yet, none of them moved the needle as much as Woods' week at the Hero World Challenge, his first competitive action since undergoing spinal fusion surgery. Читать дальше...

Here are the 24 recommendations we received. Читать дальше...

FALLBROOK, Calif. (AP) — A week of destructive fires in Southern California is ending but danger still looms. Well into what's considered the wet season, there's been nary a drop of rain. That's good news for sun-seeking tourists, but could spell more disaster for a region that emerged this spring from a yearslong drought and now has firefighters on edge because of parched conditions and no end in sight to the typical fire season. "This is the new normal," Gov. Jerry Brown warned Saturday after surveying... Читать дальше...

By Pavel Polityuk KIEV (Reuters) - The author of an article that U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller believes Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort ghost-wrote in violation of a gag order said on Saturday he had sought input on the op-ed before publishing to avoid errors. On Friday, Mueller unveiled evidence against Manafort to convince a judge that he wrote the article to improve his public image. Manafort is facing charges as part of an investigation into accusations of Russian meddling... Читать дальше...

Inter stayed top of Serie A and unbeaten after 16 games on Saturday after surviving their toughest test so far by holding title-holders Juventus to a 0-0 draw in Turin. Juve created more chances, but were foiled either by Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic or their own poor finishing in a Derby d'Italia that was always intriguing but never quite caught fire. Mario Mandzukic came closest to scoring for Juventus when he headed against the bar before halftime. Inter lead with 40 points from 16 games... Читать дальше...

New England quarterback Tom Brady apologized on Saturday for his sideline rant at Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels that made headlines last weekend.

The former captain discusses his hat trick vs Everton, Luis Suarez, and the current forward line Tomorrow is the 229th Merseyside Derby. (Theoretically, at least.) It’s one of those fixtures that becomes as much about history than the game itself. We can’t talk about tomorrow’s game against Everton without talking about past memorable games, and the Derbies we remember most fondly (or acrimoniously). Naturally, former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has some strong opinions about the fixture. On his hat trick against the Toffees in 2012... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON ― At its final meeting on Friday and Saturday, the Democratic National Committee’s Unity and Reform Commission agreed to a set of dramatic revisions aimed at restoring faith in the presidential nomination process and the management of the DNC.

Inter kept Juventus at bay to retain top spot in Serie A as the 169th Derby d'Italia finished in stalemate at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday. The Nerazzurri barely tested stand-in goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny - who was once again filling in for the injured Gianluigi Buffon - but showed their resilient side to shut out the reigning champions in Turin. While third-placed Napoli could take over at the summit with a win over Fiorentina on Sunday, Luciano Spalletti's side demonstrated why it looks set to be a three-way race for the title.
