I told them about the highways they had in Germany. It was the first time I had seen such good roads. So that’s what I told them. And that is what became the subject of the charges. Roads! [My arrest] was like in the movies. They came at night, they searched the whole apartment. The didn’t know what they were looking for. In the morning they put me in a car....
Worst European team of the season Dybala has quickly become one of the premium forwards in the game following his arrival from Palermo in 2015, helping Juve to Serie A, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana success in his maiden season. The 23-year-old Argentina international has continued to shine in 2016-17, scoring three goals and amassing two assists to help Juve top the Serie A table by four points. And his performances have been praised by countryman Higuain, who believes Dybala could follow in the footsteps of Argentina captain Messi....

Giuliani has been conducting his own investigation into the business dealings of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter, both of which are key issues in Trump’s impeachment. Giuliani seemed aware that people around him are concerned that he may be tarnishing his image as “America’s Mayor,” but Giulini was dismissive of that notion. “And my attitude about my legacy is F*** it,” Giuliani said. Giuliani also had words about the Southern District of New York (SDNY) courts who have launched an investigation into Giuliani’s dealings....
Computers say Green Bay’s chances to win the NFC North have dropped from 52 percent to 25 percent as a result of Rodgers’ potentially season-ending injury. But I know Packers executives, coaches and players have not given up on the 2017 season. The cheeseheads at Lambeau Field and Packers supporters around the nation should not give up hope, either. WEEK 7 NFL PICKS:Against the spread | Straight up Sure, Rodgers could pull off a magical return late in the season as he did in 2013, when he recovered from a broken left collarbone in eight weeks and beat the Bears in the regular-season finale to win the division....
There are a variety of things you should know about artificial eyes and how to care for them. When Is a Glass Eye Needed? Removal of an eye is something that must be seriously discussed and the circumstances of each case weighed. Common factors that may lead up to this include: Trauma Severe infection Melanoma or other life-threatening eye tumors Glaucoma Uveitis Eye pain Other disease processes The decision to remove an eye usually requires a detailed discussion with the doctor in which all options are first explored....
High doses or long-term use of prednisone can cause glaucoma, a serious eye disease. Glaucoma may be painless, but it can lead to permanent vision loss or even blindness. This is scary to think about, especially because so many people with IBD have been treated with prednisone, but testing for glaucoma is quick and painless. It does need to be done at least yearly for anyone with IBD, regardless of age, along with a comprehensive eye exam....
During the Thursday edition of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight, host Tucker Carlson focused on allegations concerning Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family, claiming that they “had been selling access to the former vice president to a number of foreign governments.” Greenwald was interviewed during the show and said the following: “We need to recognize what a historic crime and disgrace this is, not only in journalism, but as soon as these documents became known the operatives in the intelligence community, the CIA… all the standard professional liars, issued a letter claiming that this material was the hallmark of Russian information, disinformation actually, even though they had no basis for thinking that....
In a statement released Friday, Fairfax County election officials said that Youngkin’s underaged son tried to vote in the gubernatorial election twice. The boy is not being named as he is under 18 and not charged with any crime. However, the teen did not end up casting a ballot nor did he violate any state election laws after being turned away at the polls, according to the statement. “This morning, November 5, 2021, the General Registrar was made aware of concerns that a 17 yo male attempted on two occasions to vote on election day,” the office of elections said....
Youngkin won with 51 percent of the vote, when the race was called early Wednesday morning by multiple networks. The race was widely viewed as a test of whether the Republican party’s campaign against issues like critical race theory in schools would prove a sound strategy heading into the 2022 midterm elections. Critical race theory stood at the forefront of Virginia’s election as the race narrowed between the two candidates....
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) Project follows violence and protests around the world and since mid-March has set out to analyze how the coronavirus is influencing some of these restive regions through its COVID-19 Disorder Tracker (CDT). The new project seeks to “monitor changes in demonstration activity, state repression, mob attacks, overall rates of armed conflict, and more” as they relate to the pandemic that has infected more than 2 million people worldwide....
Today’s totalitarians, by contrast, don’t want you to have anything. They are globalist elites, and they’re frank about their aims. Back in 2016, perhaps their most prized club, the World Economic Forum (WEF), largely known for its flashy annual meeting in the Alpine resort town of Davos, offered eight predictions for the world in 2030. The number one prediction, at the time, was literally: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy....
To find out what might happen to the microbes if the frigid soil is heated up by rising global temperatures, the team visited a “moist, acidic tundra area” at a site in interior Alaska, near Denali National Park in the Eight Mile Lake region. Past research has shown the northern latitude has experienced rates of warming above the global average, and the permafrost in the area chosen by the team has thawed in the past few decades....
Normally, I’d hardly have noticed the variety–in New York, we don’t even think about the fact that everyone is from somewhere else. A few feet from my office, I have colleagues whose parents or grandparents come from Ireland, Eastern Europe, Russia, India. I was born and raised in the United Kingdom; the mother of my friend and colleague Mark Whitaker, the editor of NEWSWEEK’s American edition, grew up in France....
Ten miles away, Arroyo glided into her oak-paneled dining room in the presidential palace last week. Around 5 feet tall, in a glowing lime green dress, she is elegant and graceful. And she’s not bashful about listing her own accomplishments. In an interview with NEWSWEEK’s Lally Weymouth, the new president emphasized her own steadfastness in quelling a recent riot by 20,000 poor people outside her palace gates. Arroyo knows that she faces a gantlet of problems....
The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks from 2014 to 2018, and Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs from 2015 to the current 2020 model have been recalled. The auto company is recalling vehicles with a 5.3-liter V8 engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle, and four-wheel drive. The recalled vehicles have a faulty wheel-speed sensor. If the sensor fails, the software will hit the brakes on the wheel opposite the sensor–due to the SUV or pickup truck being in all-wheel drive or automatic mode, and travelling between 41 to 60 mph....
I once asked Secretary Albright if I should accept a position at the State Department as an under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs—something she had recommended earlier. Time had passed and I finally got the call to gauge my interest in the job, but by then it was already the fourth year of the Obama administration, and I worried that it would be hard to join the State Department so late in the first term....
