UPDATE II: No word from either campaign, but here’s what the Clinton supporter in question has to say. UPDATE III, MARCH 28: So I’ve finally gotten to the bottom of this–or as close to bottom, it seems, as anyone can get. Turns out that the Obama campaign is correct to claim that the Clinton delegate in question, Christopher Cohen, was misidentified on their working list as an Obama supporter. I have obtained a copy of the spreadsheet and double-checked his entry....

Obama started his career as a community organizer, and he thrives when he’s doing grass-roots work. It’s his appeal, but it also exposes a potential flaw: he’s running for commander in chief now, not city council, and Obama’s aides are acutely aware that his approach doesn’t always translate in a modern presidential campaign. His set-piece speeches are often received in respectful silence, not rapturous applause; his political rallies can turn into policy workshops....

In a blog post published this morning, Obama said violent protesters were “putting innocent people at risk” as he urged readers not to participate in destruction. But he also said this time of pandemic and civil unrest could be a “real turning point” in American history if people “channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action.” Writing about protesters demonstrating against the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis Police custody last Monday, Obama said: “The overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and inspiring....

Pete Souza, the former director of the White House Photography Office, called the timestamp of the Situation Room picture into question Sunday morning. Souza inferred that it’s very unlikely President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and several top administration officials and generals were actively monitoring the raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s compound when the photograph was taken Saturday in Washington. Souza took the famous photograph of Obama and a shocked then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intently watching the Seal Team 6 raid on the Abbottabad compound that killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in 2011....

You remember him: Mazzone was the guy sitting next to manager Bobby Cox during the Atlanta Braves’ domination era. The one who rocked constantly. With Maddux, Glavine and John Smoltz anchoring his rotation, Mazzone became regarded as a genius.

As the industry grows however, so too do the complications and implications that go hand in hand with success. Litigation and public scrutiny of video games is becoming increasingly prevalent, with Electronic Arts the latest publisher to find themselves on the wrong end of a class action lawsuit. RELATED: 5 Games With Overpriced Microtransactions (& 5 Ridiculous Digital Goods Gamers Actually Wanted) It’s far from the first time that a publisher has faced such a lawsuit and one suspects that it will not be the last either....

Oblak has been linked with Premier League side Liverpool and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain previously following his exploits for Atletico. The 25-year-old – who moved to Madrid from Benfica in 2014 – has helped Atletico up to second in La Liga, while the Spanish outfit are preparing for their Europa League semi-final showdown with Arsenal. However, Oblak did little to allay doubts over his future after Sunday’s goalless draw against Real Betis....

Speaking in a recent interview with La Stampa (as quoted by Il Napolista), the 21-time Grand Slam champion admitted that he felt pushed by the rise of youngsters on tour, adding that it was good for tennis in the long run to see new faces coming up. At the same time, the former World No. 1 saw them as competitors too, revealing that the “warrior” inside him wanted nothing more than to “split them in two” when he took them on on the court....

Well, thanks to a decision made more than 400 years ago, not all Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25. There is a group called Orthodox Christians, who account for nearly 12% of all Christians worldwide. These people celebrate Christmas a little later than everyone else, on January 7. Their celebration is distinct from the normal holiday in that it does not include Pagan traditions such as waiting for gifts from Santa Claus or decorating a tree....

REMEMBER SUPERWOMAN? THE ONE IN the designer suit, with the fabulous job and the loving family and the two hours daily at the gym? Bad news: she’s back. Now she’s pushing 80, but don’t let that fool you. She’s not old, she’s…Supergeriatric! She’s traded in that suit for biking shorts, runs her own successful business, and can’t wait to climb Annapurna again. Health? Never been better. Menopause? She laughed at it....

We still do not, of course, know exactly what the FBI found. But on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that more than 11 sets of classified documents of various levels of secrecy were seized as well as other items including a copy of a clemency order for Trump consigliere Roger Stone. Even if Trump was not planning to sell or transfer nuclear secrets to the Saudis or otherwise monetize the information, the fact that this kind of information was just boxed up like old tax returns in a barely-secured country club storage room is literally unbelievable—of anyone else....

Causes A nursemaid’s elbow can be caused by many types of injuries, but the classic mechanism is a sudden pull on a young child’s arm. For example, an adult trying to prevent a child from falling may suddenly pull the child by his or her hand. This injury can also occur when an adult or older child swings a young child around in the air held by their arms alone....

The 28-year-old forward continued his impressive form in front of goal in the Isreali League with another goal that ensured victory for the Turner Stadium outfit. After a goalless first half encounter, Ben Sahar put the visitors ahead with his effort in the 66th minute. Three minutes later, Nwakaeme extended his goalscoring run to four goals in seven games this campaign as the Camels sealed maximum points at the Petah Tikva Stadium....

A friendly reminder, the NWHL has only been in existence for four seasons. Back in June, Pegula Sports and Entertainment — the owners of the Buffalo Beauts — made tidal waves when they signed 2018 Olympians Dani Cameranesi, Nicole Hensley and Shannon Szabados and re-signed star rookies, Maddie Elia and Hayley Scamurra. Two months later, the Beauts grabbed headlines again when they signed Team USA star Emily Pfalzer and former Boston Pride All-Star defender Blake Bolden....

A video of the assault, which was posted online by the New York Police Department (NYPD), shows the man allegedly kicking a woman down the escalator. In the footage, the man climbs up an escalator at the Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center Station, passing the woman. He then turns around, looks at the woman, and kicks her in the chest, causing her to fall to the bottom of the escalator. In addition to capturing the assault, police also released video of the suspect walking through the subway turnstile, although the lower part of his face is covered by a mask....

Per the New York Times: MORE: Sports injuries that never should’ve happened | Sefolosha’s return The panel also ruled that Officer Giacona and a second officer, Richard Caster, had abused their authority when they arrested Sefolosha a few minutes later, a finding that means the officers lacked a valid reason to take him into custody. But the panel cleared the officers of accusations that they had been unduly brutal while subduing Sefolosha, according to a disposition letter summarizing the board’s findings....

North Korea hailed the blast as a historic event that had been conducted entirely with “indigenous wisdom and technology.” Following an unexplained delay of 11 days, it began holding mass celebrations of the country’s nuclear status. Signs were erected on Pyongyang street corners declaring LET US MAKE SHINE FOREVER OUR BECOMING A NUCLEAR POWER, A HISTORIC INCIDENT IN THE 5,000 YEARS OF OUR PEOPLE’S HISTORY. The widespread belief, which I shared at the time, was that North Korea’s entry into the nuclear weapons club would mean the virtual end of the Six-Party Talks aimed at rolling back and eventually eliminating the country’s nuclear materials and programs....
