The nonpartisan Senior Citizens League (TSCL) has spent September collecting signatures for a petition that calls for congressional lawmakers to pass another round of $1,400 “emergency stimulus checks” to assist an estimated 69 million Social Security beneficiaries—including retirees, widows and widowers, disabled adults and their dependents—in coping with the “unprecedented inflation year.” “We’re proposing this stimulus because of the difficulty so many are having with record setting inflation in a year when Social Security benefits were only increased by 1....

After Trump’s defeat during the 2020 presidential election, he and his allies sought to blame widespread voter fraud in battleground states like Michigan for his loss, despite a lack of substantial evidence presented to back up their claims. Republican candidates across the country have embraced these claims to receive the support of conservative voters and Trump, who remains popular with many in the GOP. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Dixon, who received Trump’s endorsement on Friday, defended her support of election fraud theories when pressed by Baier....

The Fox Business host said the House Intelligence Committee chairman had become the “chief storyteller” in the “fictional charade” of ongoing impeachment proceedings, adding that he was fulfilling his dream of being “center stage in a movie.” She also suggested that the congressman, who has been a leading figure in the Democrat push to remove President Donald Trump from office, was pursuing impeachment for “political glory” rather than the good of the country....

During his opening monologue on Thursday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host staunchly defended Trump after the whistleblower filed a formal complaint accusing the president of pressuring Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate his 2020 rival former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. The whistleblower also alleged that the White House covered up a phone conversation made between Trump and Zelensky in July. A partial transcript of the call, released by the White House on Wednesday, proved that Trump did ask Ukraine for assistance in probing Biden’s family....

Wallace interviewed Adams on his weekly show Fox News Sunday, pointing out that even Dr. Anthony Fauci–the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who is a key figure of Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force–has expressed support for a national lockdown. But Trump has insisted that governors should decide whether or not to give such an order within their own states. “Dr. Adams, the coronavirus is not a state issue....

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade and Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough both expressed shock and criticism after many of the leading Democratic candidates on the stage Thursday night chose to attack their opponent former Vice President Joe Biden and the signature policy achievement of former President Barack Obama’s administration: the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is commonly referred to as Obamacare. “They are ripping Obamacare on the Democratic debate stage, seven years after it passed, with the vice president who’s fighting to keep it, who wants to keep it, who’s concerned about President Trump getting rid of it,” Kilmeade said during a segment of the Fox News morning show after playing a montage of candidates attacking Biden....

Andy McCarthy, a Fox contributor and contributing editor for the National Review, appeared on Your World with Neil Cavuto to discuss the FBI investigation into the former president and his handling of classified government documents that he allegedly took from the White House. Earlier this month, the FBI raided the ex-president’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago with the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland. McCarthy initially put forward the theory that the federal agency might not be trying to seek a criminal case against Trump....

Tim Kennedy, a retired MMA fighter and U.S. military veteran, reiterated his belief “America doesn’t have a gun problem they have a young, angry male problem.” Reacting to the weekend mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, Kennedy explained that natural, “hard-wired” male energy is what “got us to the moon” and stopped the “real Nazis in Normandy” during World War II. Kennedy said doctors, teachers and society today are wrongly prescribing boy’s ADHD medicine that is preventing them from becoming men....

In February, Scott, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, released an “11-Point Plan to Rescue America,” which proposed that, “all Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount,” noting that, “currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.” The plan also proposed that, “all federal legislation sunsets in five years.” The plan drew swift criticism from Democrats as well as Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky....

Napolitano reflected on the ongoing impeachment probe in an editorial published by Fox News on Thursday. The judicial analyst warned Republicans to be “careful what they ask for” going forward because of the overwhelming evidence against the president. “Their defense of the president has addressed process, not proof,” Napolitano wrote. “The proof is largely undisputed, except by the president himself. It consists of admissions, testimony and documents, which show that Trump sought to induce the government of Ukraine to become involved in the 2020 presidential election....

“Baba booey!” shouted another, paying homage to Howard Stern producer Gary Dell’Abate. There were also innumerable “Get in the hole!” whoops from golf fans doing their Bill Murray impressions. U.S. OPEN 2018: Round 1 scores, highlights Fox’s fascination with bigger and better technology for golf coverage came back to haunt the network during its telecast Thursday from Long Island. The network is employing more than 200 on-course microphones for this year’s coverage; it has put them everywhere, from the tee boxes and fairways to the cups on all 18 greens....

Three of the past four champions had bowed out at the group stage, and Joachim Low’s side joined that unwanted list with their second defeat of an awful attempt to defend their trophy. Germany started their campaign in the worst fashion, going down to Mexico in a 1-0 shock loss that could have been even more convincing if El Tri showed more cutting edge in front of goal. They also flirted with elimination having gone 1-0 down to Sweden, although goals from Marco Reus and Toni Kroos kept them in the hunt with a comeback win....

He also acknowledged the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and said that the EU will craft proposals for “an architecture of European security” during France’s leadership. The presidency of the Council of the EU rotates between the different member states of the bloc. France took the reins on January 1, for the first time in 14 years, according to the nation’s government. But France’s presidency comes as the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine tensions hangs over the region....

Les Bleus are one of the favourites for the tournament after reaching the Euro 2016 final and are in good form at the moment after kicking off their serious preparation with a win earlier this week. Didier Deschamps’ men beat Ireland 2-0 on Monday and will be confident taking on a side missing out on a spot in the tournament. However, after starting his reign with a 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia, Roberto Mancini will be demanding a strong display....

Olivier Giroud’s late goal kept Les Bleus on track to defend their title in Qatar as they now take on Morocco for a spot in the final.

The Colts had to weather another Carson Wentz storm on Sunday, with the Colts quarterback giving up two untimely turnovers in a loss to the Jaguars that left Indianapolis out of the playoffs. While Wentz wasn’t out-and-out bad in 2021, his future in Indianapolis is pretty murky, at least if you read between the lines on Frank Reich’s latest comments. On Monday, the Colts coach was non-committal when asked about Wentz’s status as the starting QB in 2022....

Graham, the head of the non-profit organization Samaritan’s Purse, has been a longtime supporter of Trump’s presidency. Rifts between the evangelical community and Trump have developed after recent events, including a January riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump’s impeachment in the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol did not change Graham’s support of the president, leading Graham to draw parallels between Trump’s impeachment and the betrayal of Jesus Christ as described in the Bible....

In a tweet, the National Fraternal Order of Police, which represents over 350,000 members, made the announcement Friday. “Public safety will undoubtedly be a main focus for voters in this year’s election,” said National Fraternal Order of Police President Patrick Yoes in a press statement. “Look at what the national discourse has focused on for the last six months. President Trump has shown time after time that he supports our law enforcement officers and understands the issues our members face every day....

The All-Star first basemen had their odd showdown as Freeman’s Braves were leading Rizzo’s Cubs 10-0 in the seventh inning in Atlanta. Cubs manager David Ross decided to save some bullpen arms and have multiple position players pitch. Rizzo was the first to go to the mound. Rizzo and Freeman gained national attention 10 days earlier after Rizzo, was mic’d-up for ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball,” yelled “Frederick” as he chased Freeman back to second base on a rundown play....

Instead, Allen ended up where he was needed much more. The Bears, 8-8 last year, needed a defensive overhaul, especially up front, after sinking to the bottom of the NFL rankings in most major defensive categories. When the Bears signed the former Viking to a four-year, $32 million deal — which reportedly is more like two years at $15.5 million once the voidable years and real guarantees are factored in — they got a least a moderate upgrade from the pass-rush specialist they let go: Julius Peppers....
