Golf Rory Mcilroy Wins Australian Open

McIlroy started the last round four shots behind Scott, but drew even when he eagled the seventh and birdied the eighth. Scott went a shot ahead with a birdie at the ninth. The pair then went shot for shot over the back nine before the dramatic finish. Scott's approach shot went over the back of the green and his chip went well past the hole, with two putts bringing a bogey....

Good As Gold

Now, Michael Johnson has to win. And he will. Barring injury or a recurrence of the food poisoning that knocked him out of the Barcelona heats four years ago, Johnson is as good as gold. And he’s not alone. Over the next eight pages, NEWSWEEK names 20 sure things, athletes and teams so superior that they enter the Games as prohibitive favorites. Note well, though, the case of Sergei Bubka of Ukraine, the greatest pole vaulter in recorded history....

Google Pixel 4 Xl And Pixel 4 Review The Best Android Smartphones

The $899 XL flagship, which ships this week on all major U.S. carriers alongside the 5.7-inch $799 Pixel 4, is expertly crafted with an appealing minimalist design. In some ways, the 4 XL puts the smart in smartphone, but is also notable for glaring missed opportunities. It still boasts a great camera, without an ultra-wide lens. It has a buttery-smooth 90 Hz screen, which isn’t very bright and downgrades itself to 60 Hz when that brightness is turned down....

Google Year In Search 2021 The Top Queries Of The Past Year Revealed

The technology company has dropped a video that ostensibly recaps the entire “Year in Search”, but the terms showcased here are not the ones that were actually typed into Google the most. The clip is meant to be life-affirming and uplifting, so it depicts people searching for things like “how to be yourself” and “how to be resilient”. Yet a quick glance through the real data (that Google has made publicly available via its Trends app) reveals that internet users are far more likely to look up things like “How to pronounce Dogecoin” or “How to be a good kisser”....

Gop Naysaying Kerry S Nay

The Bush campaign had already been airing ads criticizing Kerry for voting against the Iraq supplemental-appropriation bill, which included money for extra body armor and higher combat pay for the troops. In no time, they tacked on the West Virginia clip. But Kerry’s camp says the candidate has a more nuanced explanation. He had voted for a version of the bill that included an amendment to fund it by repealing some of the Bush tax cuts....

Gop Congressman Asks Trump To Stop Spreading Unfounded Joe Scarborough Conspiracy It Will Destroy Us

Trump earlier Sunday shared a tweet urging his 80 million followers to read a story shared by conservative publication True Pundit that claims Scarborough, the co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, was involved in the death of 28-year-old Lori Klausutis in 2001. At the time, Klausutis was working for Scarborough, then a Republican congressman from Florida. Police said they found no evidence of foul play in relation to Klausutis’ death....

Gop Expected To Thwart Biden S Plan To Go After Dark Money In Politics

Biden has argued in favor of the DISCLOSE Act which would require super Political Action Committees (PACs) and “dark money groups” to disclose the identity of donors who contribute $10,000 or more. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will bring the bill up for a vote on Wednesday but it is expected to fall at the first hurdle as there aren’t 60 votes in support of it. “There’s too much dark money flowing in the shadows of our politics,” Biden’s official Twitter account wrote on Tuesday....

Gop Has No Intention Of Having Ilhan Omar Sit On Committee Scalise

In November, McCarthy promised to keep Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from seats on the Intelligence Committee, citing concerns of Swalwell’s involvement with a possible Chinese spy and Schiff’s involvement with the Steele dossier, a controversial report alleging misconduct between Donald Trump and Russia regarding the 2016 election. McCarthy, as speaker, can choose who serves on the Intelligence Committee because it is a “select” committee; Swalwell and Schiff are not expected to lose other, non-select committee roles....

Gop Monopolies Are Threatening Lives As Covid Cases Surge In The Sunbelt Opinion

In March, four Republican state legislators in Arizona took a selfie inside a Phoenix bar pointing to a clock showing the time was 8:15 p.m. They were bragging about staying out past the 8 p.m. closing time for bars and restaurants that the city mandated to slow the spread of COVID-19. Flash-forward to June: Arizona state lawmakers have lifted all restrictions on businesses, and the state is now seeing its highest weekly average of COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began months ago....

Gop Officials Warn Biden Of Lawsuit Over New Gender Policy For Schools

The 17-state coalition led by Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen sent a letter to the Biden administration Monday formally objecting to changes to the nation’s Title IX statutes proposed by the Department of Education earlier this year that, if adopted, would require publicly-funded schools to expand their nondiscrimination policies to incorporate students who do not identify as the gender their doctors assigned at birth. Those that don’t could be subject to losing federal funding....

Gop Rep. Calls Colleagues Planning Objections To Biden S Win Not Serious People

The Electoral College formally certified President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump last Monday—with the Democrat garnering 306 votes to the president’s 232. But some close allies of Trump in Congress have said they plan to object to vote tallies from several key battleground states in a longshot bid to overturn the election results. Trump and his supporters have claimed without evidence that Biden won through widespread voter fraud....

Gop Sen. David Perdue Sold Home To Official With Connection To Committee He Serves On

The home was sold for $1.8 million to Hillary Sale, a board governor for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which falls under the purview of the Senate Banking Committee that Perdue sits on. If Perdue sold his home above market value, experts say it would be a violation of ethics by providing an opportunity for favoritism among those with business before the Senate committee. At the time of sale, FINRA was lobbying the Senate....

Gop Senator Sasse Reacts To Scotus Decision On Nonsense Election Reversal Bid

“Since Election Night, a lot of people have been confusing voters by spinning Kenyan Birther-type, ‘Chavez rigged the election from the grave’ conspiracy theories, but every American who cares about the rule of law should take comfort that the Supreme Court— including all three of President Trump’s picks—closed the book on the nonsense,” Sasse said in a statement Friday. The lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday, challenged the election results in four battleground states—Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—and asked the court to prohibit those states from casting their electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden this month....

Gop Strategist Urges Republicans To Support Same Sex Marriage Bill

His comments in an interview with NPR come after the Respect for Marriage Act passed the House in July with the support of all Democratic lawmakers, along with 47 Republicans. The majority of Republicans in the chamber—157—voted against the legislation, while seven Republicans declined to vote. The bill was introduced after the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that granted women the right to an abortion, over concerns that the Court could also reverse same-sex marriage protections....

Gop Texas Rep. Chip Roy Calls House Gun Ban An Outrage Considers Legal Action

“It’s an outrage. I believe it deprives us of our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves,” Roy said, according to The Washington Free Beacon. Roy’s criticism comes after metal detectors were placed outside of the congressional chamber on January 12 in order to prevent individuals from carrying weapons inside the building. The measure was ordered by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just days after a violent mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the building....

Gop Wants To Repeal Obamacare Without A Backup Plan But Some Republicans Say That S A Bad Idea

Yet GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill concede they do not have safety net legislation ready to catch the millions of Americans who would find themselves suddenly without health insurance during a potential second coronavirus wave. Some Republicans, however, believe that needs to change. “We need to have a plan in place to make sure that people don’t lose coverage,” said Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah). Pre-existing conditions are the “most important thing” to cover, said Senator Martha McSally....
