“If you talk to [Trump’s personal lawyer] Rudy Giuliani, he’s got a lot of evidence of inappropriate behavior by the former vice president [Biden] and his son,” Napolitano told the hosts of Fox News morning show Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “Yet the prosecutors in Ukraine and even prosecutors here in the United States say there’s no there there,” the former New Jersey Superior Court judge pointed out. Democrats last week launched an official impeachment inquiry into Trump’s actions following revelations from an unidentified whistleblower that the president and Giuliani had repeatedly pressured Ukrainian officials to open an investigation into unsubstantiated allegations against Biden and his son Hunter Biden....

Gutfeld made the remark in response to President Joe Biden’s speech about the riot. In the speech, Biden condemned former President Donald Trump for spreading “a web of lies” that inspired the attack by falsely claiming that his 2020 election loss was due to massive voter fraud. The current president also took aim at the rioters by saying, “you can’t love your country only when you win,” and urged Americans to “recognize the truth and to live by it....

A future without Messi & Ronaldo Signing a three-year deal with the Premier League side, the Dutchman will look to improve on their brush with relegation last season while implementing the playing style ingrained into him at Ajax. As a former Ajax, Barcelona and Netherlands star, De Boer was an esteemed figure before he took to the dugout and his four Eredivisie titles since in Amsterdam show he has quality as a coach....

On Friday, writer and musician Thom Dunn shared with Boing Boing an email he received that mimics the structure of other advance fee scam emails, but employs Epstein in its phony story. Written by the presumptively fictitious “Lawrence Pierre,” who claims to be a “financial assistant to late Jeffrey Epstein Financier owner,” the letter dangles $4.2 million for the recipients help in securing more than ten million in Epstein money for an unspecified charity....

(Of course, he did get to revel in LeBron James and the Cavaliers bringing an NBA championship to Northeast Ohio in 2016.) Willard ventured into the sports world for a handful of his roles, and his polished broadcaster’s delivery combined with comedic talent made him an entertaining media character. His death Saturday at age 86 gave the world a good reason to go over the highlights in tribute. ‘Best in Show’ (2000) Willard was the uncouth dog show commentator Buck Laughlin, who drew laughs with his, um, unorthodox calls....

We all do sometimes. And Prinze has quickly become the go-to guy for sweet, light teen fare. In his newest movie, “Boys and Girls,” the Prinze charming finds himself in a role that’s completely alien to him –the nerd. Even with thick glasses and braces, it’s a stretch, but that’s what drew Prinze to the role. “I never thought that anyone would give me the chance to be a nerd and allow me to look like that....

That’s the vintage blueblood club we are talking about. No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Duke and No. 8 North Carolina have combined for 51 Final Four appearances and all earned spots in the Elite Eight. Yet the first team to punch their Final Four ticket has a 21st century blueblood credential that cannot be ignored. No. 2 Villanova beat No. 5 Houston 50-44 in the South Region final on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in San Antonio....

DICKEY : The last time we interviewed you was in Kosovo in 1999, when you were the United Nations representative in Pristina and Nadia Younes was one of your colleagues. She went on to work for S é rgio Vieira de Mello, who headed the United Nations Mission in Baghdad — until they and 20 others were killed by a truck bomb in 2003. KOUCHNER: I went to lay a wreath in Baghdad for them....

The University Hospital Center of Nice (CHU de Nice) is one of many hospitals trialing hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients. It announced it had been selected for the trial on March 22. A statement from the hospital said it was testing four experimental treatments, one of which included hydroxychloroquine. It hoped to establish its effectiveness and side effects of this and the other treatments being tested. In an interview with the French daily newspaper Nice-Matin, Professor Émile Ferrari, the head of the cardiology department at the Pasteur hospital in Nice, said the side effects had already been identified, with some patients having to stop treatment because of the risk posed....

This was not a replay of the 1972 Olympic basketball final. MORE: Extra-time goal clinches Euro 2016 title for Portugal The French national soccer team had 120 minutes in which to score a goal in Sunday’s final of the European Championships on their home turf at Stade de France. They failed. The goal they surrendered in extra time to Portugal substitute Eder was legitimately struck. So it was appalling to see several of the French players refusing to allow tournament officials to drape silver medals around their necks during the championship ceremony that followed Portugal’s 1-0 victory, and to see players such as star midfielder Paul Pogba immediately take off their medals....

French teen Melissa Mayeux will participate in the camp this week in the Netherlands with 79 young men, MLB.com reported.

Here are some of the most asked questions that dentists hear about wisdom teeth. How Old Do You Need to Be to Have Them Removed? Wisdom teeth erupt from the age of 18-25. Depending on the type and severity of impacted teeth, you may need wisdom teeth removed anywhere around the age of 17-18. It’s possible to remove wisdom teeth at any age; however, serious complications in surgery are less likely in young adults in their teens and early 20s since the undeveloped wisdom tooth roots and a less dense jaw bone make removal easier....

But Pratt is at home in a second world. It was on display recently in the Dallas Convention Center. Exhibitors at a “Preparedness Expo ‘96” hawked everything from survival shelters to Chinese-made assault rifles to paranoid classics of anti-Semitic literature. Pratt, who views the larger National Rifle Association as weak-willed, shared the dais with some infamous characters. One was Bo Gritz, the ex-Green Beret who gave attendees his latest count of Jews in the Clinton administration....

It’s not because of new clinical studies. It’s economics. Hockey and basketball franchises use hyperbaric chambers to bring players back from the injury list quickly. By increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood and hence in tissues,the treatment stimulates production of collagen, a protein that helps heal wounds. An aching Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns climbed into a hyperbaric chamber last month. “Now I know what it feels like to be an airhead,” Sir Charles has said....

He went by many names: born Malcolm Little; dubbed Red, for the color of his hair, during his numbers-running, zoot-suited criminal years in Boston and Harlem; called Satan during the early part of his 6 1/2 -year prison stint; then Malcolm X, his Black Muslim name, and finally, after his break with Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam, he called himself El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. It was a life forged by extremities of experience, and Lee and his brilliant cinematographer Ernest Dickerson don’t try to make it seamless; they accentuate the radical disjunctions of Malcolm’s odyssey by finding a distinct visual style for each of the key episodes of his life....
