Pity the poor rich people. With the new economy minting millionaires daily, the flood of money into northern California is igniting passions about property rights from Marin County to San Jose. In Los Altos Hills, longtime residents complain that by building massive, garishly landscaped estates, the new arrivees have trampled the town’s greatest asset–its natural beauty. And an obsession with privacy and fences, they argue, is ruining the town’s sense of community....

A golden retriever with his head stuck in a curtain is delighting the internet. Bentley became trapped after chewing a hole in the white drapes, giving him a “spooky” silhouette and allowing his owner to catch him red-pawed. Posted to TikTok by user @chriscanlon on August 21, the cute clip has received almost 550,000 likes and over 19,000 shares.

Bjorn carded a five-under 66 to be joint top at Royal Melbourne, with American Kevin Streelman alongside him after Thursday's play. Bjorn said he planned to take advantage of the first six holes, where he shot two birdies and a double bogey, but was pleased he continued to play smart after the indifferent start. "I did everything well today. I drove it pretty well," he said. "The key to this golf course is that you get out there and you see the first six holes and you can make a lot of things happen in those first six holes and then the golf course turns very tricky and difficult....

Garcia entered the round three shots behind overnight leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello but birdied six of his last 12 for a 7-under 65, forcing Ilonen to make an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force the playoff with a 66. They both finished on 16-under 272.

LEADERBOARDS: PGA’s Greenbrier Classic | European Tour: Alstom Open de France Unlikely to qualify for September’s Ryder Cup on points, Woods is a certainty to be chosen with a captain’s pick if fit and in form. “I’ll be watching Tiger as he plays.

Three Lions 13/5 for clean sheet v Germany The 20-year-old has been one of few Liverpool defenders to catch the eye so far this season, making eight starts in the Premier League. His form is made all the more impressive by the fact he failed to make a single appearance in the top flight last season, with injuries restricting him to Under-23 action and three FA Cup games. Now he looks set to make his England bow against either Germany or Brazil, and the former Charlton Athletic youngster is still letting it all sink in....

In 2018, roughly 1.6 million people were diagnosed with gonorrhea in the United States. Over half of the people who contract gonorrhea are between the ages of 15 and 24. This article discusses the facts and statistics surrounding gonorrhea and what you need to know about STI. Gonorrhea Overview Gonorrhea is highly common. When a person contracts the infection, they may be asymptomatic. Asymptomatic infections do not cause symptoms.

The Monday matchup was widely expected, and it will be highly-anticipated, as both teams have been ranked Nos. 1 and 2 all season. The Baylor Bears and Gonzaga Bulldogs will meet for all the marbles. The national championship game will be Monday night. Baylor, who was the second-ranked team most of the season and recent winner of the South region, crushed old in-state foe Houston, 78-59, in a game that was more lopsided than the score indicated in the first national semifinal....

Julio Gomez, Antonio Briseno, Richard Sanchez, Carlos Fierro and Marco Bueno were all more heralded and earned more column inches than the now-20-year-old basking in the news of his first full Mexico call-up for the upcoming games against Honduras and Panama. Gonzalez has outshone them all when it comes to taking the jump from prospect to first-team Liga MX regular. Now’s he beating them in making the next step up to national team level at an age very few do in Mexico....

Forget about the thick Italian accent and the hair-trigger temper–Castelluccio speaks perfect English and is known for being exceptionally accommodating to “Sopranos” fans he meets on the street. And while Furio carries a pistol, Castelluccio’s weapon of choice is a paintbrush. He has been working professionally as an artist since 1982 when he won a full scholarship to New York’s prestigious School of Visual Arts, and his “modern renaissance” style paintings hang in galleries and private collections around the world....

It’s clear now that whatever it was which made Mourinho such a compelling success has dimmed. He could be missing his long-time No. 2 Rui Faria or struggling to adapt to a new generation of player who don’t react to his surly management style. Whatever the problem, United have played as a reflection of their manager. A dull husk, with glory in the rearview mirror and no plan beyond immediate survival....

Hutchinson previously warned that focusing on Trump’s 2020 election claims would be a “recipe for disaster” going into future elections. During a Sunday interview with CNN, he discussed that concern and said the GOP should focus on the future. The Arkansas governor touted GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin in Virginia as an example. “Glenn Youngkin in Virginia is doing a great job. He has a great potential to win that race this year,” Hutchinson said....

“If we’re going to DEFEND Texas, we’ll need to take matters into our own hands,” the letter began, according to a report by The Houston Chronicle. The letter was dated August 2, the day before the shooting. “The problems of illegal immigration never reach swanky limousine-liberal neighborhoods in New York and California!” Abbott added. In the letter, the Republican governor slammed Democrats for their “refusal” to work with the Trump administration on immigration reform and accused the media of being biased and failing to report when “innocent young Americans” are killed by undocumented immigrants....

Biggs voted against both the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and the Gold Medal bill this week, saying the former “does NOT support women” and the latter is actually “anti-police.” The legislation, which passed Wednesday with overwhelming bipartisan support, aims to award Congress’ highest civilian medal to local Washington D.C. officers who responded to the deadly Capitol riots. Biggs and fellow Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar were accused of planning the January 6 “fight” by top “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander as well as the House Office of Congressional Ethics, which demanded an investigation into their roles....

Trump and many conservative allies continue to claim that President Joe Biden and Democrats “rigged” or “stole” the 2020 election. The allegation already has been thoroughly litigated and wholly discredited, but many Republican voters, according to polling, believe the former president. During a recent GOP fundraising dinner, Crenshaw was heckled by an attendee who put forward Trump’s claims about the 2020 election. The heckler was Bobby Piton, who is running as a Republican in the 2022 election for Senate in Illinois....

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a long-shot lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, to overturn the election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—which all went blue for Biden. Multiple prominent Republican lawmakers—including Texas Senator John Cornyn—criticized Paxton’s effort. But more than 120 Republicans in the House of Representatives, as well as the GOP attorneys general of 18 states, backed Paxton’s failed Supreme Court brief....

Although Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were declared the winners of the election just over two weeks ago, Trump has refused to concede. The president and his supporters have pushed unfounded claims—without providing evidence—that Biden won through widespread voter fraud. The Trump appointee leading the General Services Administration (GSA) has declined to officially “ascertain” the election results, blocking Biden’s transition team from accessing federal funds, office space and cooperation with Trump administration agencies....

According to the latest swing state surveys from Redfield and Wilton Strategies, Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) was lagging 15 points behind the former astronaut Mark Kelly as of last week.

A further 7 percent told pollsters they didn’t know how they would vote, and 2 percent backed a third party candidate....
