In three days of voting, during which California Representative Kevin McCarthy failed to gather enough votes to be elected as House speaker, the Florida congressman was the only one to put Trump’s name out, despite fellow Republican and Freedom Caucus member Representative Lauren Boebert previously stating she would like to nominate the former president. Gaetz’ vote was the only one for Trump, who could technically be elected as House speaker, as it’s not legally required for one to be a member of the House of Representatives....

Tuberville and Sessions are currently competing to win a July 14 Republican primary runoff election whose winner will face incumbent Democratic Alabama Senator Doug Jones in the November national election. Trump has felt ire for Sessions ever since March 2, 2017 when Sessions recused himself from the Department of Justice’s investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election. “Sessions should have never recused himself,” Trump said in a July 2017 New York Times interview....

Recently, German Davis Cup captain Michael Kohlmann showered high praise on the Austrian’s performances during 2020, highlighting the way he increased the pace of his hitting at the most crucial moments. Kohlmann was particularly impressed with Thiem’s run at the US Open as well as the Nitto ATP Finals in November. Thiem won the New York Slam beating Alexander Zverev in the final, and in London he defeated both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal before bowing out in the final against Daniil Medvedev....

Thiem continued his love with clay having reached back-to-back French Open finals in 2018 and 2019. He wanted to gain confidence and form after his shock first-round exit in Wimbledon 2019 losing to Sam Querrey in four sets, that included a fourth set bagel. Ahead of the US Open that commences on August 26, Thiem has had a fairly decent year, having beaten Roger Federer on a hard court to win the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells, toppled the king of clay Rafael Nadal in Barcelona to eventually pocket his first title there and trounced Djokovic in a marathon and edge-of-the-seat five-set French Open semifinal....

After Tony Stark’s demise—much like with Captain America’s Steve Rogers returning from his time-travelling adventures as an old man and passing on his shield to Sam Wilson—it left a gap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of filling the boots of the famously armored crusader. It was a gap that seemingly fit Cheadle’s James Rhodes (a military colonel best known by his nickname, “Rhodey”) to step up from being War Machine to something bigger, which would be explored in Marvel Studios’ Armor Wars....

“That’s what they are, they’re front-running fans as far as I’m concerned,” Cherry said during his “Coach’s Corner” segment on CBC/Sportsnet’s “Hockey Night in Canada.” “They’re there (at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C.) because they win, not because they act like fish.” Cherry was referring to one of the team’s postgame “Storm Surge” celebrations, in which one player “reeled in” another. Cherry also attempted to justify his hatred for the “Storm Surge” celebrations, which the team stopped doing at the end of the regular season....

The Black Caps depart on Saturday, heading to Jamaica’s Montego Bay for a 10-day camp, which includes two warm-up games, ahead of the first Test in Jamaica, beginning June 8, reports CMC. Boult, who has formed a formidable partnership with Tim Southee as New Zealand’s dangerous new ball-duo, says the use of the new ball and the reverse swing will factor heavily in the outcome of matches. “The wickets aren’t really going to be too pace bowler-friendly I guess....

The official support page for How To Clean Your Apple Products has seen several updates since early 2020, with its most recent addition being a warning against using hydrogen peroxide. According to Apple, the commonly used antiseptic has a good chance of damaging the finish and/or display of just about every kind of Apple device and accessory. Notebooks, desktops, displays, peripherals, AirPods, HomePods, iPhones, iPhone cases and accessories, iPads and iPad accessories, iPods, and Apple Watches are all susceptible....

Morrison said that he had a “brief” and “polite” conversation that is now at the center of a Justice Department inquiry into the investigation of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Morrison has been dragged into the Trump impeachment inquiry after The New York Times revealed Trump asked for Australia’s help with the investigation aimed at discrediting the Russia probe. Morrison told Sky News: “The president contacted me and asked for there to be a point of contact between the Australian government and the U....

Team Trump accused The Washington Post of reporting that the image was doctored “without evidence” in a tweet Wednesday, shortly after President Trump shared the meme of himself as fictional boxing champion Rocky on the platform. The Post tweeted on Wednesday that it was “unclear why” the commander-in-chief had published the “doctored photo,” and reported that the image appeared to come from the film Rocky III’s “promotional materials.” Responding to the Washington Post article reporting that Trump had “doctored” a photo of his head on to actor Sylvester Stallone’s body, Team Trump jumped in on jokes about the image, tweeting: “Washington Post claims - without evidence - that @realDonaldTrump shared a ‘doctored’ photo....

Trump spoke at a CPAC event in February and will return to deliver remarks in Dallas, Texas next month as speculation continues to swirl about his intentions for the 2024 presidential election. The theme of July’s event is “America UnCanceled”—a reference to so-called cancel culture—and experts who spoke to Newsweek on Thursday suggested Trump would use the speech to assert his continuing hold over the Republican Party. Thomas Gift, founding director of University College London’s Centre on U....

The commander-in-chief said in a statement he still disagrees with the result, again reiterating his claims of widespread fraud despite having consistently failed to provide evidence of this on a scale that could overturn Joe Biden’s victory. A raft of legal actions have been launched by Trump and his allies, but these have failed to change the outcome. “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” Trump said in a statement shared by Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff for communications....

A small crowd of protesters visited the mayor’s office a day ahead of President Donald Trump’s rally in the city, following a Twitter spat between the commander-in-chief and the city mayor that saw Trump brand Frey a “lightweight mayor.” For his part, Frey suggested the president should pay for the additional policing and city costs required for the rally, which the Star Tribune reported cost more than $500,000, an amount the Trump campaign dismissed as “ridiculous....

A statement from a CNN spokesperson said: “Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.” Responding to the CNN statement with the video clip, Trump Jr. tweeted: “Does CNN’s head of PR still think ‘Fredo’ is an ethnic slur after watching this? Because if it’s the N word for Italians like @ChrisCuomo says, I don’t understand why Chris seems so at ease with someone saying it here....

Conway is a conservative attorney and the husband of Kellyanne Conway, who has been a key member of Trump’s team and continues to work in the White House as a counsellor to the president. In recent times, he has become a very vocal critic of the elder Trump despite that the president is his wife’s employer. In Friday’s rumble on Twitter, which began during the testimony of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, the lawyer appeared to throw the first blow by replying to a Trump Jr....

Donald Trump Jr. made his comments during a scheduled “Reigniting the Spirit of the American Dream” speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida. His criticisms of “RINOs,” or “Republicans in name only,” came as part of a swipe at Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who joined nine other House Republicans last month in voting to impeach the former president. “The one thing I’ll say for Liz Cheney is, I’m sure she has a lot of bipartisan support, because if there’s one thing that she and Joe Biden definitely want to do, it’s bomb the Middle East,” Donald Trump Jr....

On January 19, SAG-AFTRA put out a statement ordering a disciplinary hearing for Trump, acting on charges initiated by National Executive Director David White at the request of Union President Gabrielle Carteris. Expulsion is the most severe penalty possible for a member. “This individual’s words and actions over the past four years have presented actual harm to our broadcast journalist members,” says White. The union, which represents thousands of journalists around the country, claims that Trump’s constant war against the media, as well as his alleged contribution to inciting the January 6 attack of the US Capitol, are what motivated the National Board’s decision....

Newsmax’s John Bachman was responding to Trump’s game at his Bedminster golf course on Thursday, which was played prior to the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed LIV tour beginning there the next day. While interviewing Dick Morris, political consultant and author of the book The Return: Trump’s 2024 Comeback, Bachman hyped up Trump playing as proof of his credentials compared to his successor in the White House. “You look at Joe Biden struggling so hard, you see Donald Trump on the first tee yesterday tee off and just hit a stripe right down the middle,” Bachman said....

“Look, we did something that was historic, we saved tens of millions of lives worldwide when we, together, all of us, we got a vaccine done,” Trump said. “This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now, take credit for it… it’s great, what we’ve done is historic. Don’t let them take it away.” “You’re playing right into their hands” when you doubt the vaccine, Trump added....
