“I am excited to announce that the RNC has voted unanimously to select Milwaukee as the host city for the 2024 Republican National Convention!” McDaniel announced over Twitter on Friday. “Milwaukee is a world-class city, and we are eager to see it shine in the spotlight come 2024.” The announcement comes just days after Nashville, Tennesee council members voted against a draft agreement to host the RNC on Tuesday, effectively removing the city from the long list before the Republican party....

During Tuesday’s broadcast of The Situation Room, CNN analyst Gloria Borger said that ex-Ukrainian envoy and ambassador Kurt Volker’s congressional testimony—which the GOP allegedly hoped would help exonerate the president as Volker previously stated he felt that Rudy Giuliani’s influence on foreign policy wasn’t an offense—resulted in him defending Joe Biden instead. In his testimony, Volker said he didn’t believe that Biden had done anything improper, and that he didn’t believe that Biden had anything to do with his son Hunter’s dealings with a Ukrainian gas company....

Johansen was apparently cagey about his condition when contacted by the local Portland Press Herald, saying only that “he wasn’t feeling well” and hanging up before he could be pressed for an elaboration. But Crash Barry, a writer for the left-leaning news outlet Mainer, tweeted a snippet of a phone call with a man sounding like Johansen saying, “Listen up, I’ve got COVID and I’m really, really sick and I just don’t have time to talk to you today....

In a report published on Monday, a woman told The Daily Beast that Walker paid for her abortion. In a follow-up on Wednesday, it said that the woman who brought the allegation forward is also the mother of one of Walker’s children. On the campaign trail, Walker has opposed abortion and said he is in favor of a total ban. Walker slammed the first report, calling the claim a “flat-out lie....

McSally, who represents Arizona and was appointed to her post after failing to win a 2018 race against Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema, was previously viewed as a Republican who might vote against the president, as she is facing a tough election against Democrat Mark Kelly. However, as the impeachment process moved forward, she proved to be a firm Trump defender. The Republican senator told Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade that she didn’t anticipate any of her GOP colleagues would vote to remove Trump....

Holcomb, going against other Republican governors who have signed similar laws in 11 other states, announced he would be intervening in the legislation on Monday. In a letter, Holcomb explained that the proposed law—House Bill 1041—would likely be challenged in courts and currently “falls short” in its aim to provide clarity on how it would provide fairness for K-12 sports in Indiana. “It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met,” Holcomb said....

The latest measures come a day after President Donald Trump—who repeatedly downplayed the pandemic this year, saying the virus “affects virtually nobody”—was defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Trump was reported to have had 58.4 percent (759,583) of the vote in Utah, nearly double the 37.7 percent (489,465) Biden had, as of Sunday, according to data compiled by Reuters. As of Monday, total confirmed cases in Utah have surpassed 132,600, with 659 reported deaths since the outbreak began, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University (JHU)....

Gordon decided to stay out while Dale Earnhardt Jr. opted to pit under caution with 39 laps left in the GoBowling.com 400. That allowed Earnhardt to stop just 10 laps later for fuel while Gordon pitted a couple of laps later needing a full tank of fuel, putting Earnhardt a few spots ahead of Gordon for the final sprint to the finish. Being mired on the inside for two late restarts didn’t help Gordon as well, forcing the series points leader to settle for sixth while Earnhardt, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, held off Kevin Harvick for the win....

That is sort of true. All his championships were under the “Winston Cup” banner and under the old season-long points system. So while he still might be in his best position for the “Drive for Five,” Gordon isn’t looking at it that way. “This is my first,” Gordon said Wednesday at media day for the second round of the Chase. “This is not my fifth. I have never won a Sprint Cup....

Guest, best remembered as guitarist Nigel Tufnel in “This Is Spinal Tap,” has returned to that classic’s “mockumentary” form to bring us Waiting for Guffman, a cinEma un-vEritE account of the casting, rehearsal and performance of Corky’s show. The movie is, from start to finish, a hoot. Directed by Guest from an outline he developed with costar Eugene Levy–which was then improvised by the terrific cast–“Guffman” is both a savvy satire of small-town boosterism and an affectionate salute to the performing spirit....

Cuomo’s statements underscore his working history with Trump during the pandemic and the difference between the two leaders’ early responses in handling coronavirus. “In many ways, COVID is just a metaphor,” Cuomo said during his remarks at the DNC, which began virtually on Monday. “The virus attacks when the body is weak and when it cannot defend itself. These past few years, America’s body politic has been weakened…. In effect, our immune system and our current federal government is dysfunctional and incompetent—it couldn’t fight off the virus....

It’s time for Governor Newsom to take his boot off the neck of Californians and let us return to our lives, safely and with great care. And I say those words carefully—not as a politician who doesn’t understand the plight of the people, but as someone who caught this dreaded disease and recovered. Let’s look at where we are now. Californians have prevented an overwhelming surge of infected patients that would strain the capacity of hospitals and clinics....

But those polling bounces from handling the virus have been eroded over the course of the pandemic, and many governors have seen a substantial drop from their approval rating peaks last spring. The pandemic gave America’s governors a unique opportunity to show leadership in a time of national crisis. While some focused on public health, taking drastic action such as shuttering businesses and imposing stay-at-home orders, others put emphasis on maintaining personal liberty....

The former Newcastle United and Chelsea talisman returned to Turkey for his third spell in the top-flight. The 32-year-old’s addition is expected to boost ‎Tamer Tuna’s team in front of goals as they are currently placed seventh in the Turkish Super Lig table with 31 points from 19 matches – five points adrift a UEFA Europa League spot. “Finally, the Chinese team signed a deal with Senegalese player Demba Ba, who is wearing the Shanghai Shenhua form, until the end of the season,” read a statement on club website....

How did athletic directors fill those vacancies, and were any lessons learned over the previous five hiring cycles? SN studied where the 52 new hires came from over the previous five years and determined which avenues were most successful and which tended to have the highest failure rate. Promoting from within had the highest hit rate, as Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley and Mario Cristobol were among the ‘home runs’ during that five year period, and all were elevated within their current staff....

“The top part of Grand Canyon trails are icy! Don’t risk it—like these folks,” The Grand Canyon National Park Service tweeted on Monday alongside an image of visitors climbing the attraction in sneakers. One person, wearing shorts, appears to be holding on to an icy-covered rock to steady themselves on the ground. Those who plan to hike this week are advised to take traction shoes and trekking poles, the tweet read....

The experience is hard enough to sum up that I’m tempted to put novices at ease by writing something like this: a first-person, here’s-what-I-did-in-the-game introduction, followed by a colorful précis of the Grand Theft Auto IV story and characters, then a recitation of the numerous landmarks and radio stations that give this skewed facsimile of New York City—called Liberty City in the game—its authentic flavor. The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t begin to give you a feel for what it’s actually like to play the game....

Margaret Myers, from Gilroy, California, took on 16-year-old Chihuahua mix Lana when being around the children in the home started proving a little stressful for the dog. “In 2009, my daughter Danielle and her husband Don rescued Lana from All Creatures Great and Small Animal Rescue,” Myers told Newsweek. “Lana was well loved by my daughter and her husband. She was treated really well—she even slept in their bed.”...
