Well, sort of. While the Nets made it clear before the season that they would “not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability,” the franchise recently had a change of heart, announcing that they have “decided to have Kyrie Irving re-join the team for games and practices in which he is eligible to participate.” Under New York City guidelines, Irving, who reportedly remains unvaccinated against COVID-19, is not allowed to play in games that take place in New York....

The first package, containing 20 fake cards, was intercepted by CBP agents on August 24.

Among other topics, the veteran journalist and talk show host discussed the president’s popularity among Latino voters in the United States on the program. Trump, Rivera argued, has a high regard for Latino Americans (Rivera himself is of Puerto Rican descent on his father’s side). A clip of Rivera’s words on Fox & Friends was shared on the website Contemptor. “I believe that knowing this president as long as I have, decades, being around Trump Tower long before he ever contemplated running for president, seeing Latinos in every position from, executive to elevator operator, I know how he has such affection for Latinos,” he said....
Carlson said Karlan “needs a shrink” on the Wednesday edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight in response to the constitutional law expert’s testimony earlier in the day, where she argued in support of the constitutional basis for Trump’s impeachment and claimed that the founders of the United States would be “horrified” by Trump’s alleged “quid pro quo” scheme. As a graphic on the screen read “Karlan Has Long Been Biased & ‘Woke,’” Carlson complained about the content of Karlan’s testimony, taking aim at her “bizarre” use of an analogy to explain the claims against Trump....

And I got up and I was—I popped to a salute,” Bongino said during a segment of Fox News morning show Fox & Friends Monday....
“If Adm. Green really wants to do this, he shouldn’t try and put people in the middle to put the blame on them. He shouldn’t be a coward like that,” Parlatore said. “He should stand up and do it himself.” Parlatore criticized the process his client faces after Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked him about the Navy SEAL review board that will judge Gallagher and three other SEALs on whether they committed “a gross lack of professional or personal judgment, lack of moral or ethical behavior, and/or conduct inconsistent with the SEAL ethos,” according to a letter sent to Gallagher and his co-defendants....
“Just keep in mind, too, as you see Nancy Pelosi and others outraged, I thought Buck Sexton’s tweet was right on the money, when he said around 500,000 human beings were killed in Syria while Barack Obama was president and leading for a political settlement to that civil war. Media has been outraged in the last 72 hours over our Syrian policy. They’re more outraged over the last 72 hours over our Syria policy than they were at any point over the last seven years of slaughter....
“The next time someone signs up for their Belt and Road program or for Huawei, they should keep on the Wuhan virus that poisoned the world,” Kilmeade said. “That’s what you get when you get Chinese trade and that’s what the American companies should keep in mind when they cut these deals.” Kilmeade’s comments come as the show was discussing Chinese officials blaming the U.S for the coronavirus with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich....
Kushner’s task force has reportedly contacted numerous health technology companies to create a system that would allow the federal government to track patients seeking treatments for coronavirus at hospitals across the country and whether hospitals can treat those patients.

To French civil-rights groups, the deaths seemed a sinister omen, coming just a week after a new conservative government took office. Many right-wing candidates had campaigned on a law-and-order platform that usually mentioned crime and immigrants in the same breath. The new interior minister Charles Pasqua, established a reputation for being tough on immigrants during his previous tenure from 1986 to 1988. Some police advocates argue that the problem is not racism; they cite low police morale and stressful working conditions....

You can’t make this stuff up, but in fact that’s just what Kerviel has been doing for a year or more at SocGen, using high-tech skills gained in the back office to orchestrate and conceal a series of fraudulent European futures trades that has resulted in the single biggest rogue-trader loss ever (chart). While SocGen is in no danger of being sold for a pound the way British bank Barings was post-Nick Leeson—it is far bigger and better capitalized—the bank is now in a severely weakened state that has left it a potential takeover target....
