The Fox & Friends co-hosts lavished praise on Sunday comments from California Republican congressman Todd McClintock, who touted Trump’s refusal to use “delicate language” when he was discussing Ukraine aid with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in July. Earhardt said Americans should “let Trump be Trump” after playing a clip of McClintock telling ABC News that Trump’s Ukraine dealings were “the blunt talk of a Manhattan businessman.” All of the hosts agreed that Americans elected Trump to “be Trump....

The back-and-forth took place during Fox News morning show Fox & Friends on Sunday, as Henry attempted to get Levin, who hosts Life, Liberty & Levin, to provide reasons for his perspective that Trump did nothing wrong with Ukraine. Levin appeared frustrated that Henry would even ask about the Trump scandal, arguing that journalists should focus their reporting on unsubstantiated accusations promoted by Trump and his supporters that former Vice President Joe Biden covered up corrupt activity in Ukraine to benefit his son, Hunter Biden....

Pence’s lawyers confirmed that a “small number of documents” were found inside boxes at his Indiana home last week, which have since been returned to the National Archives.

Biden is also under scrutiny after sensitive materials were discovered at his Delaware home and a Washington D....

“The president today wrote a beautiful letter,” Dobbs said. “A terrific letter to Nancy Pelosi which she responded to by saying it was ‘ridiculous.’ ‘Sick.’” “In point of fact,” Dobbs continued, “it was elegant, it was comprehensive and it put her and the radical Dems who have attacked this president mercilessly for over three years precisely where they should be, and that is in the focus of history for decades to come....

Especially if you’re Jacques Chirac. The poor French president has been the butt of a merciless summer of political lampooning. And it’s only gotten worse now that Chirac himself is en vacances. The media of all stripes and every political color are pitching in. None has been more biting than the investigative paper Le Canard Enchaine, which has been lighting into him week after week. One recent cartoon showed the president reclining forlornly in a beach chair, too weary to read the newspaper crumpled at his side....

The move comes after members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity were spotted in photographs from a February 11 off-campus “bid-party” with swastikas either on their clothes or bodies, according to the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS). One of the individuals reportedly sporting a swastika was a Jewish pledge, as someone had drawn it on his head. Originally, the fraternity was suspended by the university alleging that hazing and underage drinking took place at the gathering in question, according to the Tampa Bay Times....

Neymar had opened the scoring after just seven minutes at Old Trafford, before the Red Devils were left to sweat following a scuffle between Fred and Leandro Paredes which was reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee in the 22nd minute. Subsequent replays showed both players squaring off, with Fred seemingly guilty of initiating a headbutt as he leant into the face of his opponent. Replays showed Paredes was quick to fall to the ground as he sought to get his opponent sent off....

OG Anunoby’s buzzer-beating three-pointer gave the Raptors a 104-103 victory over the Celtics on Thursday, seeing the defending champions narrowly avoid falling 3-0 behind. NBA PLAYOFFS: Bracket | Schedule | Explaining the bubble Toronto had a week off after sweeping the Nets in the first round of the playoffs and the start of their series with Boston, which was delayed by teams refusing to take the court in protest against racial injustice and police brutality after Jacob Blake was shot in the back several times by an officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin....

A persistent shortage of available homes in the U.S. has caused home prices to increase faster than incomes, the researchers said. The price of housing has skyrocketed over the past year, making it difficult for first-time buyers to save for down payments and keeping them renting for longer periods. Nearly half of people who rent spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, which is the recommended amount, the AP said....

Kyrgios was due to face Cameron Norrie in the first round at Roland Garros but pulled out of the second major of the year on Friday. The controversial Australian last week made headlines yet again when he was defaulted from his match against Casper Ruud at the Internazionali d’Italia. Kyrgios slammed his racket to the ground before launching a folding stool onto the court after disputing a call early in the deciding set....

Get the latest football odds Newcastle United, meanwhile, saw off Hellas Verona, but that victory nevertheless caused some concerns for manager Rafael Benitez. SANDRO OFF THE MARK Sandro Ramirez scored his first goal for Everton in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Sevilla at Goodison Park. The Spaniard slotted the opener after just 30 seconds but the Toffees still needed a late Kevin Mirallas penalty to avoid defeat. Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega, re-signed from Inter in June, struck a double in between those two goals to steer his side away from a second loss in the space of 24 hours, the Liga outfit having gone down 2-0 to Southampton a day earlier....

It certainly felt more like sunset than dawn in Ulster last week as the rickety peace process ground to what the spin-meisters soothingly called a “pause.” Confronted with the failure of the IRA to move on disarmament, the British government suspended the 72-day-old power-sharing government in Northern Ireland. Ulster, after a hopeful stint in running its own affairs, was back under direct rule from London again. But 24 hours after the suspension, there was a glimmer of good news....

Brown needs to stay in the others’ good graces. ““Home Again’’ is not only the most hyped R&B reunion of the year, it’s one of the most highly anticipated pop releases of the fall. A kind of ’80s version of the Jackson 5, or a grittier, sweatier precedent to ’90s harmonizers Boyz II Men (whom Bivins discovered), New Edition now wants to grow up. ““Home Again’’ is designed to please both old-school fans and young kids: it’s got sweet romance mixed with street attitude, velvety soul crossed with swaggering rap....

In reality, the future of representative democracy may be on the line, at least as far as the idea the people deserve to get what they voted for. It has been more than three years since 51.9 percent of those participating in a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the European Union took the position it should not. Yet, after three different prime ministers and one general election, the U....
