Speaking about early forecasts from the National Weather Service that predicted a direct hit on Florida from Hurricane Dorian, Trump displayed a map that appears to have been altered with a Sharpie. “We got lucky in Florida, very, very lucky indeed,” he told reporters. “We had actually our original chart was that it was going to be hitting Florida directly… And that would have affected a lot of other states....

Loeffler and Perdue are running against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock. Trump has harshly criticized Georgia’s election process, baselessly claiming that vote spread allowed President-elect Joe Biden to win the state in November’s presidential election. Georgia’s special election, expected to take place on Tuesday, will decide which political party gains control of the U.S. Senate. “There’s no way we lost Georgia, there’s no way,” Trump said. “That was a rigged election and we’re still fighting it and you’ll see what’s going to happen....

Jeff Greene, 67, a real estate tycoon who made his fortune buying credit default swaps on subprime mortgages prior to the 2008 financial crash, made the remarks while speaking to the Financial Times for a profile about Trump’s Florida home and sometime political base. Greene, who unsuccessfully ran for Florida Senate in 2010 and for governor in 2018, described how he felt more welcome at Mar-a-Lago than the other exclusive clubs in Palm Beach, but that he and Trump were never personally close....

The president withdrew his suggestion to host world leaders at one of his own properties on Saturday after a backlash that he described as “crazed and irrational hostility.” Speaking about his now-retracted hosting offer, Trump said in a cabinet meeting on Monday: “Doral was a very simple situation. I own a property in Florida. I was going to do it at no cost or give it for free if I got a ruling — because there’s a question about whether or not you’re allowed to give it because it’s like a contribution to a country....

Online mentions of the former commander-in-chief and Google searches for his name spiked around last year’s election and the events of January 6—but have since dropped back significantly. Data supplied by Brandwatch showed more than 355 million mentions of Donald Trump on what it calls the “social web”—including blogs, forums, news sites, and public social media pages and accounts—from the start of June last year to the end of July 2021....

Cheney, who represents Wyoming’s at-large congressional district, pledged to do everything she could to prevent Trump from returning to the Oval Office in comments made on Wednesday. This followed the vote to oust her from her former position as House Republican Conference Chair, which came after criticisms she made of the former president. Trump Jr. tweeted on Thursday: “LOL, What’s Liz Cheney going to do? Take 75,000,000 people quail hunting?...

The path, they said, runs through Moscow and Damascus. For the Syrian Democratic Forces, the largely Kurdish force allied with the Pentagon in the anti-ISIS fight, talk of a speedy U.S. exit elicits immediate concerns. The formidable yet lightly-armed militia faces an outright hostile insurgency backed by Turkey on one side and the hardline central government seeking to regain control of autonomous northeastern Syria on the other. Stuck between the two, Syrian Democratic Council co-chair Riad Darar tells Newsweek he prefers a political solution involving the latter, but believes that such an outcome “will not be possible without an American signature on it....

“The Wall Street Journal editorial page continues, knowingly, to fight for globalist policies such as bad trade deals, open borders, and endless wars that favor other countries and sell out our great American workers, and they fight for RINOS [Republicans in name only] that have so badly hurt the Republican Party,” Trump said Thursday. He added: “That’s where they are and that’s where they will always be. Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore....

Trump made the remarks during a Thursday interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. Hannity mentioned comments from Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, who suggested that Trump may be able to safely return to public events by Saturday, before asking the president if he had recently tested negative for the virus. Trump tossed aside any concerns that he could still be contagious while claiming that he might be able to safely mingle with the public “sooner” than Conley said....

Though many today know him for this role, Benedict Wong has been making memorable appearances in film and television for the last 30 years, working on his craft and stealing scenes. He’s also appeared in a lot of science fiction movies. Here’s a look at some of his best performances outside the MCU, which fans of Wong should put on their watchlist.

RELATED: Doctor Who: Best Cybermen Stories, Ranked It was a mixed bag for a lot of fans, with various positives and negatives that caused a bit of division amongst the fandom. With the franchise returning to humble roots, gone are the days of the show enjoying rich spin-off media such as Doctor Who games, it’s not hard to see how some fans are struggling to adapt to this era....

That appears to be the case here, where a circulating allegation from a Facebook fan page has been making the rounds with the ferocity of a moody Sontaran. The page offered up the possibility that David Tennant, who played arguably the most popular modern iteration of Doctor Who’s lead known as The Doctor, will return to the role. But rather than reprising his own take on the character, he’ll supposedly be the actual successor to Jodie Whittaker’s current Doctor, who is the 13th (sort of) rendition of the time traveling alien with a curious fondness for humans....

But the media voters went with Los Angeles’ 26-year-old shortstop, who was very worthy of the honor, too. Seager finished the six-game series with a .400/.556/.700 slash line, two home runs, five RBIs and six walks. He also played a role in the eventual Series-winning run; Mookie Betts scored on his fielder’s choice bouncer to first base in the sixth inning of Game 6. “That’s things you think about when you’re a kid, man,” he said postgame....

Bo Pelini explained the state of Nebraska football Monday, providing a clear view to the one thing that has sucked the very life from the once proud and powerful program. Apathy. “I don’t believe the state of our program,” Pelini said, “is any different than it was a week ago.” Or a year ago. Or a decade ago. And that should make every Huskers fan from Omaha to Chadron reach for a sick bucket....

One thing in Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered that is a little disappointing is the exclusion of co-op missions, but the price is still right for re-living one of the best single-player FPS campaigns ever made. MW2 Remastered is nowhere near the level of a complete remake, but it is at least an almost perfectly faithful recreation of the original with upgraded graphics, animation, and sound.

After performers such as Rihanna and Cardi B reportedly declined Super Bowl offers in solidarity with Kaepernick, who is litigating the NFL over collusion claims related to his protest, others were calling on Scott to do the same. The hip hop artist anticipated the backlash, so he “consulted” with Kaepernick to get his thoughts, according to a report from Variety. Scott reportedly didn’t accept the deal right away and instead made the NFL donate $500,000 to a social justice organization called Dream Corps....

Genshin Impact has zero manual saves. Thus, a player cannot reload past saves to try and get back their Primogems if they get bad pulls. The auto-save feature is almost instant, so new players don’t have to worry about their progress. How Genshin Impact auto saving works Everything the player does in Genshin Impact is automatically saved to an online server.

Since it’s a Shyamalan film it’s no surprise that Glass boasts plenty of twists and turns, but if you get to the end you’ll probably be wondering if he’s saving one final twist for the credits. After all, that’s exactly how Split revealed that it was in the same world as Unbreakable in the first place – surely Shyamalan might try the same again? Naturally spoilers for Glass follow, so be careful if you haven’t seen it yet – and go ahead and read our review if you want a spoiler-free assessment....

All three vaccines have been operating under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA), which allows them to be distributed without FDA approval. It’s caused hesitancy in some people who see the vaccine as being “experimental,” and raised concerns that vaccine mandates could be subject to lawsuits if the FDA hasn’t approved the vaccines. Just as companies have to apply for EUAs, they also have to apply for FDA approval. So, part of the timeline for approval depends on when a company asks the FDA to consider their vaccine....

As it is a Pokemon MOBA, fans were hoping for all of the usual mechanics that come with a MOBA. Other similar games, like League of Legends and Smite, have both voice and text chat. It’s a core feature of MOBAs, since communicating with teammates is a large part of the game. Fortunately, although it may not be complete as expected, Pokemon Unite does have a voice chat feature....
