Tiegen, who is best-known for his role in defending a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, during a 2012 attack by Islamic militants, used his social media accounts to promote a “Patriot Muster” protest event at the city’s Civic Center Park October 10. The 100-plus supporters who attended Tiegen’s event last Saturday were met with a Black Lives Matter-linked counterprotest. During one confrontation, a man was fatally shot by an armed security guard reportedly working with a KUSA-TV news crew....

Rumours in Spain this week claim the Gunners have launched a bid to sign the 29-year-old in the January transfer window. Benzema 2/1 to score 2+ v Eibar Benzema has only managed two goals this season and missed a clear chance against Tottenham in Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Sanders, chair of the Senate Budget Committee, has refused to give up on passing the $15 minimum wage after Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough decided that the measure did not meet the requirements of the budget process called reconciliation. MacDonough’s ruling could be overruled by Harris, but Democratic leaders on Monday indicated that they will likely cut the wage hike to quickly pass the sprawling bill. “My personal view is that the idea that we have a Senate staffer, a high-ranking staffer, deciding whether 30 million Americans get a pay raise or not is nonsensical,” Sanders told reporters....

The Vermont Independent’s comments come as progressive and moderate members of the Democrat Party continue negotiations over Biden’s proposal. Sanders told reporters earlier in the day that the expansions to dental and hearing coverage plus reforming the cost of prescriptions are requirements of the final package and he echoed the remarks to Twitch streamers in the evening. “Here we are in a very critical moment in American history, and the issue that we face is whether the government of the United States of America finally has the courage to stand up to powerful special interests and do what the American people want,” Sanders said....

“Fire Trump. Keep Fauci. Wear a mask. End the war on science. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!” Sanders tweeted. Sanders has a long history of pro-science stances. He has backed scientific endeavors including space exploration, diminishing global warming, and the creation of vaccinations. One has only to take a look at Sanders’ website to see that he is a devoted follower of scientific inquiry. He also explained to Buzzfeed News in 2019 that he believes that vaccines “work and are crucial to overall public health,” a subject on which he expounded at length....

“If we can provide over $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% and large corporations and $740 billion for the bloated Pentagon, please don’t tell me that we cannot afford to cancel all student debt and make public colleges and trade schools tuition-free and debt-free for all,” the Vermont independent tweeted on Tuesday. The post was a response to a tweet from the nonprofit advocacy group Student Debt Crisis, which alerted its followers that the debt crisis has reached over $1....

At 25 percent in a New York Times/Siena College poll released Saturday, Sanders is leading the field in Iowa, which will be the first state to participate in the primary process on February 3. Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, came in second place at 18 percent.

The former Chelsea forward picked up from last week’s Uefa Europa League performance against Everton after scoring his side’s fourth and assisted Nabil Fekir’s first strike. The visitors took the lead courtesy a clever Memphis Depay finish in the 11th minute before Traore set up skipper Fekir on a solo run to double Bruno Génésio’s side lead. Few minutes after the restart, the hosts were reduced to ten men after Leo Lacroix’s cynical challenge on Fekir saw him awarded a straight red card....

Her years as Lyndon Johnson’s wife remained the center of her identity. She preserved his bedroom as it looked the day he died there in 1973: his colognes still in the medicine chest and his many Stetsons, ranch suits and cowboy boots still in the closet. In the early 1990s she was told that her husband had taped roughly 10,000 of his private White House conversations. Warned that such a cache might include embarrassing exchanges, she asked her great friend, the LBJ Library director Harry Middleton, to open them anyway....

An air purifier, not to be confused with air conditioning, is a machine that filters out pollutants, dust and other particles in the air. What is a HEPA Air Purifier?

And as best friends are wont to do, they made a friendly wager on a competition. Not on the game, of course, but when they face each other at the plate. From the Post-Dispatch: Neither guy is much of a hitter. Miller has a career .132 average and Kelly’s at .154. Miller got the first crack at the plate, and Kelly walked him on four pitches in the bottom of the second inning....

The scientists tested a number of different materials and combinations to determine the most effective way of limiting the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. According to their results, cotton and silk (combined) make the best masks. They also stressed the importance of making the mask fit properly. Even a small gap can drastically reduce effectiveness, regardless of the material it is made from. From Texas to California, Americans are being asked to don masks when out in public to reduce infection rates....

The good news is the lack of high-end stacks creates some opportunities to be different. There are some contrarian approaches that NFL DFS players can utilize to earn lineup differentiation and a better shot at the No. 1 prize. Additionally, there are some pricing inefficiencies on DraftKings and FanDuel this week. Why? Because some quarterbacks, like Matt Ryan, have been benched for unproven commodities. So, while they’re risky plays, they are cheap enough to draw consideration....
