Swiss Formula one team, Sauber, has had a tough starting season in 2013. Its car has proved to be more than disappointing, following one of its strongest campaigns last year.

RELATED: Destiny 2: All Vault of Glass Shard Locations for Bitterpearl Shader Hunters may think that this is going to cover the new Destiny 2 Star-Eater Scales, but because of the difficultly of collecting enough Orbs of Power to maximize Star-Eater Scales, they are not really that great for boss DPS and are easily outclassed by the ease of use of Celestial Nighthawk....

Speaking to Newsmax, Trump doubled down on his previous remarks made during a rally in Texas, and added that many of the people who have been charged in connection to the Capitol attack were not guilty. While speaking in Conroe on Saturday, January 29, Trump promised to pardon those convicted in connection to the January 6 attack if reelected in order to “treat those people fairly.” The day after the rally, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told CBS’s Face the Nation that Trump’s remarks were “inappropriate” and pardoning those who took part in the insurrection could inspire similar violent attacks....

But El Tri had dominated the game, was set – so it was widely thought – to stroll through World Cup qualifying and reach Brazil with ease. As it turned out, the game was a watershed moment for Chepo’s Mexico. That Michael Orozco Fiscal goal, Oribe Peralta’s Olympic heroics, Javier Hernandez’s goal-scoring record and Chepo’s apparent belief that Mexico needed more options to break through teams visiting the Estadio Azteca to park the bus resulted in him changing the 4-2-3-1 formation that had the Stars and Stripes rocking in the Gold Cup 2011 final and had many, many pundits predicting a period of CONCACAF dominance for Mexico....

The president of the United States insists the ball is “on the one yard line!” Whether this is a sports argument or a political disagreement might depend on one’s perspective.
