His decision to target these five states in 2008 has less to do with their electoral impact than the fact they allow for ballot initiatives and that Connerly thinks he can win big in all of them. But given Obama’s oft-declared intention to redraw the political map, it’s hard to see how he can avoid the issue of affirmative action in some, if not all, of the states Connerly is targeting....
Speaking to The Breakfast Club podcast this week, Obama said the Trump administration had “failed miserably” to do the basic tasks of looking after the American people and ensuring they were safe as COVID-19 continues to spread across the nation over the Thanksgiving holidays.

This test differs from a routine ultrasound and is not offered at every healthcare facility. Rather, it generally must be scheduled at a university medical center or another specialized facility. When the results of the nuchal translucency screening are positive, there is cause for concern, but it does not necessarily indicate a congenital defect is present. Rather, other diagnostic tests may be needed—such as amniocentesis (an evaluation of the fluid in the amniotic sac that surrounds the fetus) or chorionic villus sampling (a test for serious chromosome disorders)....

Any buzz about a high-demand toy brings to mind the hysteria that once surrounded Beanie Babies, which rarely command more than $25 these days, despite some people buying the toys to sell for their kids’ college funds. Will those who decide to invest in discontinued amiibo ultimately feel the same buyer’s remorse as those who spent a fortune on Beanie Babies? What, in other words, distinguishes the trash from the treasure, or, a flash in the pan from a true collectible?...
Nuno’s men saw off a stubborn Fulham side 1-0 at Molineux on Saturday, courtesy of Leander Dendoncker’s strike 15 minutes from time.

In a benchmark test conducted by TechPowerUp, the Nvidia GTX 1630 card appears to be lacking in overall performance. While it’s three times faster than the GTX 1030 and has good overclocking potential, it seems to have fallen short of the mark, even for a budget piece of hardware. The fact that it outshines the 1030 may not be impressive to some. After all, this is a GPU that originally came out in 2017, so a graphics card that beats a five-year-old product may not seem like much to shout about, but it definitely is an improvement at least....
