Williams Supreme Court ruling, which upheld federal laws that criminalized the presenting, distribution, advertising or promotion of child pornography....

Caupain might have stopped and taken a 3-pointer. He might have tried a pull-up jumper. Instead he judged he had enough time to get all the way to the rim, and that no one would be there to deal with him.

Quayshawn Shymel Simmons, 29, pleaded guilty in July to orchestrating a scheme whereby he would purchase guns from federally-licensed dealers in Virginia using a false address, and then transport the weapons to D.C. “Those who buy firearms in Virginia just to turn around and sell them illegally in Washington, D.C., as Simmons did here, are not simply committing paperwork violations,” Ashan M. Benedict, special agent in charge of the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), said in a press release....

I need not dwell on the consequences of this colossal, collective failure of global leadership. The pandemic is still spreading, its death toll now in the hundreds of thousands. The global economy is at a standstill. Hundreds of millions of people are unemployed, and as hunger grows, so will civil strife. According to the UN, a quarter of a billion people may starve this year. What progress we have made on reducing poverty and malnutrition and our other social development goals could be wiped out within months....

In a pre-taped interview with SiriusXM on Wednesday, obtained by Newsweek, Obama told host Joe Madison that he trusts Fauci completely and would “absolutely” take the vaccine if the top scientist says it’s “safe and can immunize you from getting COVID.” “I promise you that when it’s been made for people who are less at risk, I will be taking it,” Obama said. “I may end up taking it on TV or having it filmed, just so that people know that I trust this science, and what I don’t trust is getting COVID....

Obama tweeted his list of books, saying his favorite movies and movies will soon follow. “As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did,” the 44th president wrote. The first book on the list by Zuboff details the cost of placing prices on private data, and she says leaders should pay close attention to companies that simultaneously have power over the economy and society....

If Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden wins on November 3, Obama said, “We’re not going to have a president that goes out of his way to insult anybody who doesn’t support him or threaten them with jail. That’s not normal presidential behavior.” “You’ll be able to go about your lives knowing that the President is not going to retweet conspiracy theories about secret commands running the world or, or that Navy SEALs didn’t actually kill Bin Laden,” the former Democratic president continued....

Luis Enrique’s side reached the milestone thanks to a 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou on Saturday - a result that moved them a point behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid, having played two games more. Paco Alcacer and Lionel Messi scored in the first half before Aleix Vidal struck the 100th of their campaign with a bouncing half-volley that eluded goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz. Monaco soon reached the 100-mark themselves thanks to an emphatic 3-0 victory over Ligue 1 title rivals Nice later on Saturday....

All the latest Barca transfer rumours The Blaugrana have made contact to see if Kondogbia would be interested but remain a long way from making a move for the former Monaco star, as they favour Paris Saint-Germains’s Verratti.

It has been clear for some time that Brazil international playmaker Coutinho does not figure in the long-term thinking at Camp Nou. Barca snapped Coutinho up from Liverpool in the winter window of 2018 , but have seen little return on their investment. With the South American having struggled to find a spark in Catalunya, he was allowed to head out on loan in the summer of 2019. A season-long stint at Bayern Munich has only served to raise further questions of the 28-year-old’s form and fitness ....

Barca’s fearsome ‘MSN’ forward line was forged in South America, with Argentine talent blended with that from Brazil and Uruguay. Isco’s Instagram photo blunder Among the most famous figures in that part of the world, they were joined by another following a 3-0 victory over Sevilla on Wednesday. Nicky Jam was among those in attendance at Camp Nou, with the Latin Urban performer making the most of his visit to Catalonia....

Allegri set to sign new Juventus contract Juve are at home for the first leg on Tuesday in a mouth-watering tie that is a repeat of the 2015 final, which Barca won 3-1 in Berlin. Buffon thinks Juve have closed the gap on Luis Enrique’s side since then, but acknowledged the huge task awaiting his side. “I think we know that in these two games we are meeting the strongest team we could face,” Buffon said at Juve’s pre-match media conference....

‘I’m not joining Barca!’ - Isco Goal has exclusively learned that the company that deals with the player’s image rights is already in Spain with the starlet’s father, with both parties in the country to begin talks over a transfer to Camp Nou.
