But while Murdoch was clearly uncomfortable in the spotlight last week, his appearance on the Hill was business as usual for Murdoch, who has spent more than three decades courting politicians. In 1980 a tete-a-tete between Murdoch and President Carter culminated in a Senate-committee probe of a government-backed loan granted to a Murdoch company. And two years ago, his bookpublishing firm bought former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s memoirs for a whopping $5....

“We see a critical mass of battery electric vehicles on the horizon,” Drake, Ford’s chief operating officer of the North America region, told listening members of the media. Drake continued, saying that based on reservations for the F-150 Lightning, the company’s all-electric version of its regular duty pickup truck, “we see the potential by volume growth”. At the end of July, the automaker confirmed that it had already received more than 120,000 reservations for the truck....

Blue and white confetti rained down as Stewart climbed from the car. All of the Monster Energy Series Ford drivers — who followed Stewart to the unveiling in production Mustangs — watched with lust in their eyes, pounding in their chests and a little drool on their chins....

Our fascination with the Fenn Treasure may have something with our fond fascination with pirates and our greedy attempts at getting rich.

A subsidiary of Toronto-based Excellon Resources, Excellon Idaho Gold’s Kilgore Gold Exploration Project in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest was initially approved in 2018 before it was stopped by lawsuits, and a new plan with new environmental considerations was approved Friday. According to the company, the area contains about 825,000 ounces of gold and they plan to search for it by digging in an open-pit mine. In 2019 and 2020, federal court rulings stopped drilling due to potential harm to cutthroat trout, a sensitive species facing threats to population or habitat....

Liverpool host Brighton on Sunday in the final round of fixtures knowing a win will guarantee them a place in Europe’s premier club competition next season. Even a point at Anfield should be enough for Klopp’s side, as they possess a far superior goal difference in comparison to nearest rivals Chelsea, who sit two points behind ahead of their trip to Newcastle United. Yet the German acknowledges “there is still a job to do” in Liverpool’s last home fixture before they can then concentrate on the prospect of playing Real Madrid on May 26....

The hostile exchange was sparked by a March 2 tweet by Rogozin which included footage of Roscosmos staff apparently stripping a Russian rocket of international flag decals. “The launchers at Baikonur decided that without the flags of some countries, our rocket would look more beautiful,” Rogozin wrote. It comes as Roscosmos has become increasingly isolated as countries seek to distance themselves from Russia following its widely-condemned ongoing invasion of Ukraine starting February 24 which, up to March 5, had caused 364 verified civilian deaths including 25 children, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)....

Jordan, who is now a contributor to MSNBC, took particular issue with GOP Representative Barry Loudermilk comparing Trump to the biblical Jesus. “Before you take this historic vote today, one week before Christmas, keep this in mind,” Loudermilk said in remarks on the House floor. “When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers.” “During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than Democrats afforded this president in this process,” he argued....

Glenn Kirschner told the network Monday that the commander-in-chief was “beholden” to the Russian president, and referred to a Washington Post report that quoted a “senior White House official” claiming Trump believed Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, saying “Putin told me.” His claim came after the Trump-Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller found there was no conspiracy between Russia and the president’s campaign. But an indictment during the Mueller investigation did show that Russian intelligence officers tried to hack the personal email account of then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after Trump urged the country to find emails she had deleted....

Comstock, who served in the House from 2015 to 2019, made the remarks after Boebert drew significant backlash after a video of her suggesting Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota—who is Muslim—was a suicide bomber went viral online.

Despite Boebert’s apology, Greene doubled down on using the term “Jihad Squad” to describe Omar and several other progressive Democrats in a Saturday tweet....

Last year it was William Nylander, who missed all of training camp and the first two months of the regular season, before coming to an agreement (six years, $45 million) minutes before the 5 p.m ET deadline on Dec. 1 . It was the deal that — more or less — Nylander sought, and ultimately got, after holding his ground. Now it is Marner’s turn. After Auston Matthews signed a five-year, $58....

Andrews used the same process to make his numbers as he did when he was running Nevada sports books for over 30 years, but got into it much sooner to help college football bettors and bookmakers get a head start on the 2015 season. “I posted these exactly the way I would if taking bets on them in a sports book, which includes knowing the teams the public is going to bet on, as well as knowing the wise guys tend to bet bad teams OVER and good teams and UNDER,” Andrews told The Linemakers on Sporting News....
