The president loved the idea. A Reaganite in his economic as well as his foreign-policy views, Bush has nurtured the supply-side notion of eliminating overtaxation since his Texas governorship. He had pounced on dividends the previous August when Wall Street discount-broker king Charles Schwab proposed it at his Waco economic summit. Corporate dividends are taxed once when companies hand them out and again when investors file tax returns. Ending this was basic “fairness,” as one official termed it, and Bush promptly pitched his $674 billion package to the nation that way....

It was then that McNally suddenly yanked the boy by his jacket, violently slammed him against the wall and threw him to the floor....

The Game of Thrones star shared his thoughts on how sex scenes are filmed these days and said he preferred when it was less controlled. “Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing…” Bean said in an interview with the U.K.’s Times Magazine. “I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise.” Intimacy coordinators work on film and television sets to choreograph simulated sex between actors and ensure their wellbeing is considered on set....

Rosita Haji Baju, now 16, had been terrified that if she revealed her past, she would suffer further abuse and instead sought help on social media, desperately hoping to find a relative she could alert to her ordeal. Her nightmare began in August 2014 when ISIS invaded Shengal (Sinjar), Iraq, from nearby Mosul and the Iraqi army had fled. Men in her community were killed, and thousands of women and children were kidnapped, including Rosita who was just 8 at the time....

Emely, whose handle is @lovetruthink on TikTok, says in the first video that her boyfriend was calling her “crazy and paranoid” for suspecting that he was cheating on her. Despite his denials, though, Emely apparently turned up plenty of evidence to illustrate just how unfaithful her boyfriend had been to her. The TikToker printed out the proof so that he couldn’t “gaslight his way out it,” as she puts it....

Arsene Wenger’s side looked set to suffer their sixth Premier League defeat of the campaign as the clock ticked down at St Mary’s with them unable to muster a response to Charlie Austin’s third-minute opener. But Giroud, on for the luckless Alexandre Lacazette, expertly headed home Alexis Sanchez’s left-wing cross two minutes from time. It was the France international’s 17th as a Premier League substitute – equalling former Manchester United favourite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record for the most scored at a single club, while only Jermain Defoe has more in the competition’s history with 23....

Fortunately, scientists now do more compassionate research. But their work with fragile neonares and classrooms full of romping preschooler a points toward much the same conclusion: touch is vitally important to the development of healthy, happy children. Whether bolstering the immune system or simply increasing communication between parents and children, an extra dose of cuddling and massage appears to have many positive effects. At the University of Miami’s Touch Research Institute, director Tiffany Field can rattle off study after study on the effects of touch....

Beck began by saying that the whistleblower should be cross-examined in public, a popular argument put forth by many Republican politicians. “It is critical that this whistleblower makes it to an open witness stand and the cross-examination is prepared to ask him about all of the things he was doing in Ukraine, because he’s the linchpin,” Beck went on to say. “He’s the go-between on all of these things. On Fusion GPS, on Joe Biden corruption, on all of it....

It’s a transfer which manager Arsene Wenger has pursued for three years and after initially baulking at the £60 million price slapped on the 26-year-old by Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas, the Arsenal manager has succeeded in negotiating a rather impressive deal in getting Lacazette for a fee in the region of £46m.‘Alexis must leave to win CL’ Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema are all world class forwards Wenger has attempted to sign over the years and while Lacazette may not yet be in the same bracket as those players, he possesses enough star quality to become the club’s record signing, eclipsing the £42....

The German, who represented the Anfield side for seven years, believes boxing off those three core areas is essential as the Reds aim to restore themselves as a force, domestically and on the continent. Coutinho was sold to Barcelona for £142 million last month, the third-highest transfer fee in world football, with Jurgen Klopp opting not to replace him yet. Hamann agrees with the manager’s sentiment that the loss of such a rare player is difficult to rectify mid-season, but he expects Liverpool to add a signing of similar creative output in the next window....
