Trump has denounced some political polls as fake, particularly ones which show Biden to be in the lead. In June, he asked CNN to retract one such poll and demanded an apology. Afterward, Trump employed the services of McLaughlin and Associates to analyze polls he felt were skewed against him. According to Thursday’s Fox News poll, 50 percent of all registered voters surveyed said they would vote for Biden if the election were held today....
Great expectation accompanied Jorge Sampaoli’s first competitive game at the helm, as the promise of a new era for underachieving Argentina loomed on the horizon. There certainly were changes, most notably in a new-look three-man defence and the trio of Messi, Dybala and Icardi up front, bringing together the Barcelona wizard with his two young apprentices for the first time. But against a backline seemingly moulded from the same eternal concrete that holds together the Centenario 87 years after the venerable old ground was first opened, Argentina’s stars came up short....

Or at least Bush family values. And perhaps that’s only natural. After all, this president came to office with a social agenda forged in the crucible of the Christian right–an agenda now embraced by much of mainstream America. As a man, Bush was born again, at 39. As a candidate, he spoke out against abortion–and for his faith. As a president, he made clear from the beginning that he would be a moral leader, not just to Americans but also the world....
So why did the NBA change its voting process and effectively stripping power from fans? MORE: 2017 NBA All-Star starters “For the first time ever, NBA players and basketball media will join fans in selecting the starters for NBA All-Star 2017 in New Orleans,” a news release said, as though this is something that should be celebrated. Fan voting will now count for 50 percent, while media and player votes will count for 25 percent each....
Having the All-Star break before the deadline allowed front offices to take stock of their place in the playoff picture during a time when no games were being played. As such, it is fair to consider that 55 to 57 games played the line for evaluation. This time around, teams will have played slightly fewer contests when the deadline occurs thanks to the schedule changes, but major decisions like whether a franchise will be a buyer or seller typically need to be made ahead of that point....
The NWS report stated that at least one person has been confirmed dead after the Tuesday storm with at least two others injured as several houses were damaged or destroyed. The tornado was given an EF-3 rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which estimates maximum wind speeds reached within a tornado by analyzing the damage that is dealt by the tornado. EF-3 storms have wind speeds from 136-165 miles per hour, and are classified as “severe....
Kliavkoff, a sports entertainment executive of MGM Resort, struck the usual talking points about how to create more exposure and opportunities for the student-athletes. Yet Kliavkoff cut to the heart of why he was hired — and that is to make that backdrop a reality in football and men’s basketball. “Our greatest weakness, if we’re honest with ourselves, is the number of years it’s been since we’ve won a football or men’s basketball championship,” Kliavkoff said....
The NTSB’s finding, in a letter to the FAA, did not definitively rule out the lingering possibility of a bomb or missile attack. But the agency said its reconstruction of the downed plane strongly suggested that the first explosion occurred inside the 747’s center fuel tank, rather than in the cabin or baggage hold. That fact alone almost eliminated the possibility of a bomb on board, since it would be very difficult for terrorists to place a bomb inside the tank itself....
On Friday, ESPN.com published a full timeline of what happened during UCLA’s preseason trip to China when three players — including LiAngelo Ball — were arrested and accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store, and other items from other nearby shops. Included in the report was a litany of specific details that was previously not public knowledge including: what was stolen, how the players were bailed out of jail and details of the players’ “captivity” in their hotel....

New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration has reported nearly 55,400 people in the state have died from the virus, up from about 43,400 that Cuomo had publicly reported as of Monday, his last day in office. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below: “We’re now releasing more data than had been released before publicly, so people know the nursing home deaths and the hospital deaths are consistent with what’s being displayed by the CDC,” Hochul said Wednesday on MSNBC....

During a press conference Thursday, Newsweek reported that Adams said he still believes in the position he’s held since he took office that schools with masking and testing protocols are some of the safest places for children to be, according to The Associated Press. However, the mayor did acknowledge that attendance should be a factor in official decisions, saying: “but we do have to be honest that there’s a substantial number of children, for whatever reason, parents are not bringing them to school,” the AP reported....
Several anti-lockdown protests have taken place across New York state, the worst-hit by the pandemic, in recent days, including in Albany, Buffalo and Suffolk County on Long Island. On Friday, protesters gathered at “MAGA May Day” rallies in New York City and other cities nationwide clamoring for an end to lockdown measures and stay-at-home orders. Cuomo was asked about protests in his state at his coronavirus briefing in Corona, a neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York City, on Saturday, during which he said the state’s death toll was still “obnoxiously and terrifyingly high....
“I have officially…done a declaration of emergency, which gives us certain powers,” Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany. “We’re going to be doing purchasing and hiring more staff, especially to help local health departments that are very stressed.” Amid concerns that some individuals under voluntary quarantine might not be complying with isolation requirements, Cuomo said that health departments should conduct regular monitoring of quarantined patients and hinted that the state could step in should individual patients decide to buck the process....
Candido Lizarra, of the Bronx in New York City, shot the man during a dispute over a woman early in the morning on September 2, sources told the New York Post. Lizarra, 25, is said to have argued with the 20-year-old man in the hallway on the fifth floor of their New York City Housing Authority apartment on East 178th Street in The Bronx, according to the newspaper. During the argument, Lizarra allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot the man six times....
Cuomo and the state Office of Children and Family Services defended the mandate, saying it was in compliance with federal guidelines. “I understand the science, and I understand the data. And that’s what drove the federal government to those guidelines,” Cuomo said in a press conference on Thursday. “I also understand it is difficult on a number of levels. It’s difficult for parents with one child. Can you imagine a child care provider trying to put masks on 3- and 4-year-olds and have them keep them on all day long?...
The claim comes amid three other lawsuits filed by the NYSNA against the state’s Department of Health, as well as two against hospital systems, the Montefiore Medical Center and the Westchester County Medical Corp. In Monday’s lawsuit, the nurse’s union, which has 42,000 members, claimed that the state’s Department of Health and the two hospitals failed to provide adequate safety equipment, such as N95 face masks and fluid-resistant hospital gowns....
