Almost all of the several dozen readers who wrote to us about the Sept. 10 piece were angered by the Nobel peace laureate’s blunt views about the United States; some were disturbed by the fact that the interview was published just one day before the anniversary of last year’s terror attacks. “That you would publish his insult to all decent humans on the worst day in our history–when tens of thousands are mourning the loss of 3,000 lives most acutely–is deeply, profoundly wrong,” wrote one reader, describing America as “the greatest nation on earth....

Samuel Webster, 18, was charged with five counts of intentional or knowingly aggravated cruelty to animals after 17 videos of him allegedly torturing animals were found on YouTube, according to KUTV. Webster is allegedly connected to the account that shared videos that showed the torture and killing of guinea pigs that Davis County Sheriff’s Department officers said had titles such as “torture is addicting.” The teenager is also accused of pulling the animals’ eyes out, breaking their bones and showing dead guinea pigs....

On Tuesday, Representative Liz Cheney was defeated in her primary race in Wyoming’s at-large district, making the congresswoman the last of the pro-impeachment Republicans to lose to Trump’s endorsed candidate. Trump-backed Harriet Hageman was victorious over Cheney, who was once the No. 3 Republican in the House before she was removed from the position by members of her party. Three other Trump candidates—Russell Fry, John Gibbs and Joe Kent—successfully defeated Representatives Tom Rice of South Carolina, Peter Meijer of Michigan and Jamie Herrera Beutler of Washington state, respectively....

College students are not expected to be a majority voting demographic during the 2020 presidential election. However, it will mark the first time many of them are of voting age and with a high turnout expected, experts and polling companies invested in identifying key issues for the youngest voters and their views on the world. When it came to the role the United States plays on a global scale, a recent poll conducted by Chegg, an education technology company, found that the majority of students didn’t have a positive opinion....

Democrats in Congress are currently pushing to pass the For the People Act, major legislation which would shore up voting rights and make substantial changes to U.S. elections. Meanwhile, Republicans in Washington, D.C., oppose the bill, as GOP lawmakers in state legislatures across the country have introduced—and in several states enacted—laws that restrict access to voting. New polling released Thursday by Pew Research Center showed stark divides among Democratic and Republican voters on their views regarding voting rights—appearing to align with the political battle playing out in the Capitol and across the country....

Not even a year after the coronavirus pandemic, there are no answers to many questions. Where and how did the virus originate, is it artificial or natural? How and why did the U.S. and EU intelligence services fail to anticipate this crisis? What is indisputable and evident is that the whole world was completely unprepared and disorganized for what followed. The pandemic has shown how vulnerable international institutions are. Even societies that have contributed to industrialization and the incredible development of science and technology have shown an insufficient ability to cope with global change....

Trump knows all about “flippers,” and by his own admission, has been pondering them for most of his adult life. Last year in complaining about Cohen on Fox News, Trump explained that what Cohen did is “called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal.” Trump acknowledged that he knew “all about flipping, 30, 40 years I have been watching flippers. Everything is wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is or as high as you can go....

With the emergence of AEW, WWE is expected to have some real competition for the first time in years. WWE responded by pushing some of its typically underused Superstars in an effort to retain their services - one example being Finn Balor’s shot at the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. In turn, WWE reportedly offered Ambrose a lucrative five-year contract, which he turned down, swiftly prompting the company to make it public knowledge that Ambrose was on the way out....

There is such consistency in the jazz press, and its predilections, that it represents a virtual conspiracy–not one that includes clandestine meetings or muttering in code–but a conspiracy of consensus based in modernist European ideas of avant gardism. It’s stapled to concepts that Harold Rosenberg and Clement Greenberg pushed into the art world during the 1940s and 1950s, championing the narrows of Abstract Expressionism as “advanced” because they ignored the body of basic classical skills in the interest of autobiographical methods devised by the painters themselves....

The team which seemed to have ticked all the boxes now has concerns regarding the team balance in the absence of allrounders now. The middle order batting has been a worry for some time with no one being able to cement their sport at number four and six. The bowlers struggled as well, conceding 320 plus in the first two matches of the West Indies series. India brought back the frontline bowlers Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah to the side to strengthen bowling....

In an effort to curb the “syndemic"⁠—a term used to describe an epidemic driven by two interlinked conditions⁠—the CDC and other public health authorities have stepped up efforts to diagnose and treat users already infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Efforts have also been made to reduce the risk of harm to injecting drug users. Efforts include government-endorsed needle exchange programs and opioid treatment centers. Some cities have even taken steps to create medically supervised safe injection sites for users unable to overcome their addiction....
