The Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office said deputies had been called to the Apollo Beach Nature Reserve at around 7.30 p.m. on Friday after a 911 call about two missing swimmers—a father and son—who had been swept away by a current. In a news release, the sheriff’s office said another man, identified by local media as 27-year-old Kristoff Murray, had jumped into the water in a bid to rescue them but was caught by the current as well....

Fortunately, there’s no trace of sellout in “Enema’s” torrent of tommy-gun melodies and gleefully obnoxious lyrics. Sample: “Nobody likes you when you’re 23/What the hell is ADD?” Blink 182–the name supposedly refers to the number of times Al Pacino says “f–k” in “Scarface”–has lost none of its artistic immaturity. The video for “What’s My Age Again?” features the trio romping about in their birthday suits, covered only by an armada of tattoos....

It was an economic philosophy that favored large trade surpluses. At the time, this had some logic. Trade was an adjunct to military power. Exports earned gold and silver coin, which financed armies and navies. But mercantilism fell into disfavor as a way to promote national prosperity. Free trade, argued Adam Smith and David Ricardo, would benefit all countries, because each could specialize in what it did best—the doctrine of “comparative advantage....

The research of over 10 billion search clicks, conducted by Lademann & Associates and commissioned by 25 comparison shopping sites, showed that under 1 percent of traffic using the shopping search site currently goes to competitors like Idealo or Kelkoo.* A judgment from the European Commission in 2017 fined Google a then-record €2.4 billion ($2.8 billion) for abusing its search dominance and using an “illegal advantage” in prioritizing its own shopping results....

When people hear the word “nachos” in today’s world, they picture a plate piled high with tortilla chips, cheese and an array of toppings ranging from beans and chicken to ahi tuna. However, decades earlier, the word “nacho” referred to the food’s inventor and on Thursday, Google paid homage to the culinary creator. Those who opened their web browser on Thursday and typed in “Google” found the homepage transformed into an ode to Ignacio Anaya Garcia, a man whose nickname was “Nacho....

Biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election more than three weeks ago, after Fox News, the Associated Press and other major networks called Pennsylvania and Nevada in his favor. These states’ electoral votes pushed the Democrat over the 270 threshold required for victory in the Electoral College. But Trump has refused to concede, claiming without providing evidence that widespread voter fraud led to Biden’s victory. Many of the president’s supporters believe his false claims that the election was “rigged” against him....

Artiles turned himself into a Miami-Dade County jail on Thursday to face felony campaign finance charges, The Miami Herald reported. Prosecutors allege that he paid nearly $45,000 to Alexis “Alex” Pedro Rodriguez to run in Miami-Dade’s 37th Senate district race during the November 2020 election. Rodriguez ran as a no-party candidate who shared a last name with the incumbent, Democrat José Javier Rodríguez. As such, Alexis Rodriguez’s candidacy existed purely to confuse voters about which Rodriguez was their preferred candidate, effectively attracting votes away from the incumbent, prosecutors alleged....

Gallagher, a former Marine, detailed his experiences from that day when the protest “seemed to escalate out of control very quickly.” The representative also said that he felt that many Republicans’ challenges to the election results and efforts to overturn them “gave a lot of people false hope.” He called for the country to come together for a peaceful transfer of power. Firing Line host Margaret Hoover asked Gallagher if there should be an investigation into why Capitol security wasn’t better prepared for the protest....

The conservative congressman described being upset after seeing a trailer for Little Demon, which features DeVito voicing Satan. In his Facebook post, Johnson criticized the messaging and “satanic imagery” of the show, which premiered August 25 on FXX, a partner channel of FX dedicated to the 18- to 34-year-old demographic. “I couldn’t get to the remote fast enough to shield my 11-year-old from the preview, and I wonder how many other children were exposed to it—and how many millions more will tune in to the new series, owned and marketed by DISNEY,” Johnson wrote in the Facebook post....

“Make no mistake: the Senate Majority is at risk,” the memo, obtained by The Guardian, said. “Beyond the four battleground states of Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona and Maine, Democrats are going on offense in historically red states like Montana, Iowa and Georgia.” The memo serves as the committee’s September update and has been passed along between political strategists as the November election inches closer, according to The Guardian. The Republicans currently hold a majority in the Senate with 53 seats, meaning the Democrats would need to flip four in order to ensure a majority regardless of the outcome of the presidential election....

Luntz, who has worked as a pollster and strategist for high-profile Republicans, was interviewed on ABC’s This Week. Host Jonathan Karl asked him about the news that broke earlier this week regarding Trump’s accounting firm dropping his company as a client and stating that a decade’s worth of financial records “should no longer be relied upon.” “Are Republicans feeling some anxiety about tying themselves too closely to Donald Trump…where it seems to be the legal walls seem to be kind of moving in on him?...

Sanford, a former governor and congressional representative from South Carolina, made the comments after CNN anchor John Berman read a critical statement from the chairman of the South Carolina GOP during an interview on the network’s New Day program. Republican leaders in Sanford’s state, as well as in Kansas and Nevada, have voted to scrap their party’s primary entirely, meaning GOP voters won’t have the chance to choose between Trump and Republican challengers....

Perry was the first House lawmaker that the panel has reached out to in regards to their investigation. According to chairman Representative Bennie Thompson, the panel received evidence from a variety of close sources that the Republican lawmaker had “an important role” in installing Jeffrey Clark as the nation’s attorney general. However, Perry went to Twitter to reveal that he is refusing, citing other national crises in the process, according to CNN....

Police investigated the charge in January 2013. At the time, a family member found five bruises, approximately 4 inches long, on Sortwell’s child while giving them a bath, Green Bay Police Department records showed according to The Green Bay Press-Gazette. The relative brought the child to the hospital. When police questioned Sortwell, he explained that the Bible was “very specific” about corporal punishment. He loosely cited a Bible verse from Proverbs: “Whoever spares the rod hates their child,” police said....

Shortly after the November 3 race was called in his favor, Cawthorn tweeted, “Cry more, Lib,” a message that drew criticism from some social media users who felt it was unprofessional, given the circumstances. Speaking to Jewish Insider in a wide-ranging interview published Monday, the forthcoming congressman said his Twitter post was directed at critics and “cancel culture,” rather than his Democratic opponent. Cawthorn also suggested the sentiment was born out of competitive spirit, but he noted that he crossed a line “in the heat of victory....

Democrats and voting rights activists argue that the For the People Act is vital to combat voter suppression, particularly of minorities. But Republicans see the bill as unconstitutional and giving too much power to the federal government to manage elections nationwide. The legislation was passed through the House of Representatives last week on a party-line vote, but it faces an uncertain future in the Senate. “I think I disagree with every single word in HR 1, including the words ‘but,’ ‘and’ and ’the,’” Lee said during a Wednesday interview with Fox News’ morning show Fox & Friends....

Russian state media have repeatedly played clips of Cawthorn after his comments were first reported last week, NBC News foreign correspondent Raf Sanchez reported on Thursday. Remarks from other prominent conservatives—including former President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Fox News host Tucker Carlson—have been used by Russia’s state propaganda as well. Video of Cawthorn making the controversial anti-Ukrainian remarks amid Russia’s assault on the country was first published last Thursday by local North Carolina station WRAL-TV....

His question was meant to mock Democratic California Senator Kamala Harris for asking Barrett whether she believes COVID-19 is infectious, that cigarettes cause cancer and that climate change is both real and a threat to clean air and drinking water. “If a case that comes before you would require you to consider scientific evidence, my question is will you defer to scientists and those with expertise in the relevant issues before rendering a judgment?...
