We had the revelation that Big Cass was behind the attacks on his partner Enzo Amore and ratings went up. Then after two months of mysterious texts and ominous warnings to Kurt Angle, we learned that the big, career-threatening secret was that Jason Jordan is Angle’s illegitimate son. You’d think they would have learned their lesson about illegitimate child stories, but the statute of limitations in wrestling is seven years so they’re free to steal it again anyway....

The 2021 season is when new technical regulations come into the sport but the Dutchman has joined Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in staying with his current team beyond that date. Verstappen had previously been linked with a switch to Mercedes, with the long-term futures of a host of top F1 names like Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel still unclear. Here, we look at why Verstappen, who has been with Red Bull for four seasons, has opted to stay at with the team for another four until 2023....

The paper, written by Thomas Howard Suitt III, Ph.D, estimates that 30,177 service members and veterans of post-9/11 wars have died by suicide, compared to the 7,057 service members killed in action, about 4.28 times as many. “The health, safety, and well-being of our military community is paramount to the readiness of the Total Force. Every death by suicide is a tragedy. Over time, suicide deaths have increased in the broader U....

Two months before Biden signed the latest stimulus bill, progressive Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and 52 other House Democrats sent a letter to the president and Vice President Kamala Harris pushing for recurring stimulus checks until the economy recovers with “equal payments to adults and dependents.” “One more check is not enough,” the group wrote in the January letter. “Another one-time round of checks would provide a temporary timeline, but when that money runs out, families will once again struggle to pay for basic necessities....

Stephanie Bonin, a Denver restaurant owner, started the petition last year when the pandemic forced the closure of businesses across the country. It’s had a steady stream of supporters and despite states reopening businesses and lifting restrictions, people continue to sign the petition that urges Congress to take additional action. The petition calls for Congress to pass relief that would send out $2,000 monthly payments to adults and $1,000 payments for kids....

“Is there anything – I’m trying to think, because the idea – I don’t think people should clutch their pearls over it,” Shillue said Friday. “But the idea you should bring attention to it because all people seem to talk about is Donald Trump and his lack of decorum. Has he ever done anything in the ballpark of ripping up a speech like that on TV? I’m trying to think of the worst thing Trump has ever done, including the tape of him from NBC....

“He has a huge following,” Earhardt said on Monday morning. “So many people are being saved because of him.” On Sunday, West spoke at the Houston church about his faith-based upbringing, how he refocused his life on God, and his newest album Jesus Is King. West told attendees and those who tuned in for the video feed that it seemed as if the Devil stole the good musicians, artists, designers and business people, but that there was a “trend shift” toward God and “Jesus has won the victory....

During his campaign rally in Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday night, Trump claimed that people want to change the name of Thanksgiving. Trump’s claim came after Fox News aired segments discussing a “war on Thanksgiving.” The show aired a clip of Trump saying, “as we gather together for Thanksgiving, you know some people want to change the name Thanksgiving, they don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving and that was true also with Christmas but now everybody’s using Christmas again....

The hosts of the Fox News morning show, Ainsley Earhardt, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade remarked that the House Judiciary Committee report released over the weekend was just more proof that the hearings were based on the false hope of removing the president from office. The report explained the constitutional rationale behind impeaching Trump. “Well, the reason they worked over the weekend is because they did rehearsals on Saturday and Sunday,” Doocy said....

In a memo to staffers on Sunday, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said the three former associates include “consultants who served as local producers, translators, drivers and security guards” for the channel throughout its nearly two decades covering the war in Afghanistan. According to the memo, Fox News also assisted in evacuating a fourth person, an Afghan colleague from a regional media company. Including the Afghans’ family members, Fox News evacuated 24 people, the memo read....

In the interview conducted as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry, Perry implied that Trump is imperfect and that is fine. “God’s used imperfect people all through history,” Perry said, naming several Biblical figures. “King David wasn’t perfect, Saul wasn’t perfect, Solomon wasn’t perfect.” Perry added that he gave Trump “a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings” about month ago. “I shared it with him and said, ‘Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the chosen one and I said, ‘You were,’” Perry remarked....

France opened their account at the Hockey World Cup with a hard-fought 2-1 win over South Africa in their previous outing. With the victory, they have climbed to the third spot in the Pool A points table, with three points and a goal difference of -7. After starting the tournament on a high, Argentina held the Aussies team to a 3-3 draw in their previous game. They are currently third in the Pool A points table with four points and a goal difference of +1....

Les Bleus’ build up to Qatar 2022 was dominated by a host of injury withdrawals, with 2018 heroes N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba both sidelined, alongside 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema on the eve of the tournament. However, Didier Deschamps’ charges have shown the resilience needed from defending champions so far, with Kylian Mbappe staking his claim for the Golden Boot. A major test lies ahead for France if they want to retain their title from Russia 2018 — and the 1-0 defeat to Tunisia on matchday three will be a concern, albeit they rested a host of regular first-team stars — but they showed their class to beat Poland in the Round of 16, England in the quarterfinals, and a determined Morocco team in the semifinals....

During UFC Vegas 20’s main event between Ciryl Gane and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, when the fight fell short on delivering as much action as was expected, Jon Jones took a shot at the heavyweight fighters on Twitter. ‘Bones’ said that the UFC heavyweights should “get used to pushing the pace” as “all this standing around ain’t gonna fly when daddy comes home”. Jon Jones was quite explicitly referring to his own move up to the heavyweight division, for which he has been training for months now....

Chelsea great Lampard signed for the expansion franchise in 2014 but initially spent a season with parent club Manchester City in the Premier League. Having arrived at Yankee Stadium midway through the 2015 MLS season, 38-year-old Lampard went on to score 15 goals in 31 MLS appearances. Lampard teased on Instagram that he would be making an announcement regarding the “next stage” of his career soon, while also saying: “As my time at NYCFC comes to an end, I would like to thank so many people for the kindness and support that they have shown me over the last two years....

Swiss rider Mathias Frank claimed the overall leader’s yellow jersey as Slovakian Peter Sagan took stage three honours at the Tour of Switzerland on Monday. The pair were part of a four-man breakaway who moved clear of a larger 12-man group on the final descent into Meiringen after a 203.3km run from Montreux. Cannondale’s Sagan proved too strong for his breakaway companions in the sprint for the line, finishing ahead of last year’s overall winner Rui Da Costa of Portugal and Czech Roman Kreuziger, with Frank fourth....

After being announced earlier this week, remote explosives have finally been added to Fortnite’s popular PvP mode Battle Royale. Players treat these devices like C4, sticking them to objects and remotely detonating them to not only take out other players but topple buildings as well. In addition to remote explosives, Epic has also hidden supply llamas across the map, which serve as another form of treasure chest or supply drop....

These teases have been coming in hard and fast this week. In addition to real-world ads that have been popping up all across the globe, Epic has been releasing a constant stream of mysterious gold-themed images on the Fortnite Twitter page over the last couple of days. While none of these explicitly detail anything about Season 2, a bit of sleuthing on players’ part has confirmed that these images reveal more than they seem to at first glance....

Epic Games’ ever-popular free-to-play battle royale title launched its chrome-filled Chapter 3 Season 4 a few weeks ago, substantially altering the current version of the island. While reception to the new season’s content and mechanics seems to have been well-received, many players are finding Fortnite’s latest Battle Pass to be pretty underwhelming, with a lack of high-level Emotes and Spider-Gwen the one major skin highlight.
