Walker and Warnock have committed to taking part in rival debates ahead of November’s Senate election, but have yet to confirm a face-to-face confrontation. Speaking to local network WMGT, Walker said: “I’m not going to hide like Senator Warnock, and what I’d say to Senator Warnock is, ‘Where you at, scaredy cat? Debate me October 14 Savannah Georgia in front of an audience and let’s let the people see.’”...
Walker’s long-embattled Senate campaign took another hit last week, when outlets like CNN reported that he had claimed a tax break on his home in the Dallas area, which is intended only for property considered to be one’s primary residence. According to tax records, he made that claim this year and in 2021, despite running for Senate in Georgia since August of last year. The news came as another frustration for Walker’s campaign, which has contended with consistent scrutiny of his fitness for office and numerous scandals, including his past treatment of women and alleged instances of paying for abortions to women he was romantically linked to....
The same video shows the jubilation at the gathering for his Democratic opponent, Senator Raphael Warnock. The Associated Press called the Georgia Senate race in favor of Warnock after 99 percent of the votes had been counted. Warnock won 51.4 percent of the votes (1,817,465) to Walker’s 48.6 percent (1,719,868). Walker later gave a concession speech, in which he thanked the people of Georgia for their support and said he would not make excuses for his loss....
When Walker’s son Christian, 15, told him he wanted to be a competitive cheerleader, the College Football Hall of Famer was a bit confused.

MORE: Biggest busts of the NFL Draft “I don’t think I can. I know I can,” the 54-year-old told Omnisport this week in a phone interview. “In a third-down situation, I could help a team out today. I could do a few things and do it well.” Even at 54, Walker, who is training for a yet-to-be-announced Bellator MMA fight, is still a superb athlete. Walker, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 while at Georgia, said he’s taken care of his body and would listen on the off chance an NFL team were to call him....
Hertz responded to Musk’s tweet in an email Tuesday, saying that its plans haven’t changed. “As we announced last week, Hertz has made an initial order of 100,000 Tesla electric vehicles by the end of 2022 and is investing in new EV charging infrastructure across the company’s global operations,” the company said in an email. “Deliveries of the Teslas already have started, and consumer reaction to our commitment to lead in electrification has been beyond our expectations....

The Bundesliga leaders were drawn to play Besiktas in Monday’s last-16 draw in Nyon, with the first leg at home in February before they travel to Turkey on March 14. Bayern have never lost a competitive match against a Turkish side in European competition, but their veteran head coach warned that maintaining that record will be no easy task. “They are a very good team,” he said. “We need to bring our best performances to both games in order to progress....
Throughout the NFL season, several players have fallen victim to the high-ankle sprain. Oftentimes, these players have been taken off the field on carts, which should tell you exactly how painful the injury is. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the latest NFL player to suffer the injury, hurting his right ankle in the Chiefs’ divisional matchup against the Jaguars. While a hobbled Mahomes initially fought to stay on the field, he would enter the locker room before half and come back in the third quarter....
Around the country last week, in crowded bars and living rooms lit by the glow of PCs displaying Internet stock-trading sites, Americans were profoundly unsettled by the volatile markets. But nowhere were folks as unnerved as at tech start-ups and throughout Silicon Valley, where the unprecedented boom has been built on amphetamine-fueled stock growth. After the market’s Friday free fall, dot-commies and financiers crammed the bars and restaurants of San Francisco, staring into their sake and trading horror stories about how much they had lost....
The CIA has made its share of mistakes, but it does have the best spy technology in the world. Its “brain” at Langley is a computer-disc farm in a room the size of a football field, plus seven giant silos (nicknamed “the seven dwarfs”), each containing 6,000 magnetic computer tapes that robots load. Before going on a mission, a spy can rehearse his or her route by sitting before a glowing video monitor....
With millions of Americans on the road as they head home for the holidays, sadly this generally equates to numerous deaths over the festive break. Every year, the National Safety Council (NSC) issues an estimate on how many people will die in car crashes between Wednesday evening, November 24, to Sunday evening, November 28, i.e. Thanksgiving weekend. Stats show 2021 has the highest forecast in more than 10 years—515—with a “confidence interval” between 445 and 589....
That the tournament’s two joint top scorers, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe (5), are set to face off offers a promise of goals in this biggest of fixtures. And it also helps that they will be ably supported by the two players tied for second place in the scoring standings in Julian Alvarez and Olivier Giroud (4). So, with so much talent on the pitch, could we end up seeing the highest scoring World Cup final ever?...
Jorge Sampaoli’s men were staring at elimination four minutes from time at Krestovsky Stadium when Manchester United defender Rojo emerged in a penalty area stacked with attacking talent to steer home a superb right-footed volley. Captain Lionel Messi gave Argentina a 14th-minute lead, stylishly breaking his duck at Russia 2018 on the end of Ever Banega’s exquisite pass, but Victor Moses equalised from the penalty spot early in the second half to set up the frantic finale....
The France international has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland this summer, with Marseille and Lyon said to be keen. Serie A duo Inter and Napoli are also credited with holding an interest in the 30-year-old frontman.

On Tuesday, the intelligence committee published its report laying out the evidence it has gathered so far in the case to impeach President Donald Trump over his alleged Ukraine misconduct. Within that report were the phone call records of Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, who allegedly worked on digging up dirt in Ukraine on behalf of the president. Trump is accused of trying to coerce Ukraine into opening dubious corruption investigations that would damage his political rivals ahead of the 2020 election....
Will it Work? We knew from the outset that the SARS CoV-2 vaccines dramatically reduce rates of infection, rates of symptoms and disease severity. But that was alpha. This is delta. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in justifying their renewed calls for mask mandates, warned that the delta variant is more contagious and probably causes more severe disease than the original, alpha variant. They also warned that the rate of transmission among vaccinated people may be higher....
After all, state and local governments already handle drivers’ licenses, car inspections, construction permits and the public schools – all fabled sources of citizen frustration. As for bloated bureaucracy, the states increasingly make Washington look trim. In 1980 the federal government had 2.8 million full-time employees; by 1993 that had grown only marginally, to 2.9 million. The states, meanwhile, had 3.6 million full-time employees in 1980; by 1993 that had ballooned to 4....
