The actual date Dwyer received his green card hadn’t carried very much significance until now, because the fifth anniversary of that date will move him a step closer to potentially realizing his dream of playing international soccer. Dax McCarty focusing on U.S. opportunity “On Feb. 14 it marks five years of me having my green card, so I will be eligible for citizenship on that date, and then paperwork is sitting on the side waiting to be sent on that day — and then we’ll see how quickly the process goes from there,” Dwyer said Tuesday, laying out the timeline for his potential securing of American citizenship....

From the Herald: MORE: LeBron James gets emotional during ‘Fresh Prince’ rerun | Michael Jordan misspells Barack Obama’s name As Larry Bird stories go, that’s pretty par for the course. The Celtics great was an insane competitor and a legendary trash talker to even the best players of the day. “I was like, ‘Whoa.’ Then we were getting ready for the tip and he says to me, ‘You don’t belong in this league, Homes....

The CCP has a long history of huabing, or creating imaginary paintings of cakes, that can only be looked at, not eaten. This report offers more of the same. According to the report, the CCP’s decades-long goal of “moderate prosperity” has been achieved now that the annual average income nationwide has reached 32,189RMB, the equivalent of about $5,000. Not mentioned in the white paper are statistics recently cited by prime minister Li Keqiang, the nation’s second in command, indicating that some 600 million people in China earn less than 1,000RMB (about $156) a month, and a total of 900 million earn less than 2,000RMB (about $313) a month....

Speaking to Chelsea TV, he said, This just feels like the start of a mind game from Mourinho so as to deflect the attention from the team. He is very good at this and it will probably get some people talking about it, just as I’m doing now. A closer look, though, reveals that Mourinho has indeed a good idea of the players in his starting line-up. But the players have to give me the answers....

When I first came to the States, it took two years before I could speak English fluently. By the time I started middle school, I realized that most of my fellow students had never met many kids like me before. They had this idea, probably from TV and movies, that all Asians are smart. It’s true that some are. I know many smart people. But what about those Asians who aren’t so smart?...

And if it is indeed the end, it was a fitting finale. Iniesta had produced an exhibition in attacking football, gliding past rivals, linking up with pinpoint passes and even scoring an excellent goal. He always did save them for the big occasion, after all. After spending the final few minutes on the bench following his substitution, he was then back to lift the trophy, his 31st for Barcelona and a 34th in total....

The former president is slated to close out the event in Dallas on Saturday but NPR’s Ashley Lopez spoke to some attendees who suggested Trump might be “too disruptive” to be the Republican candidate in two years’ time. He has repeatedly hinted that he will mount a third presidential bid and recent polling shows Trump remains the preferred choice among potential GOP primary voters. George Breen of Pennsylvania told Lopez that Trump was “difficult....

The winning candidate will succeed former U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, who resigned in May to lead the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. Trump’s selection for the GOP-leaning 15th Congressional District race is Mike Carey, who was described by Trump’s Save America PAC release to “be a courageous fighter for the people and our economy, is strong on the Border, and tough on Crime.” Though Trump won Ohio twice by wide margins, Carey faces at least nine other contenders for the position, some of whom have received support from strong former Trump allies or other organizations....

On Monday, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress referred Trump to the Justice Department, recommending he face criminal charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, assisting an insurrection, and obstructing an official proceeding of Congress. The committee also said Trump could be guilty of seditious conspiracy, the charge for which two members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia were convicted last month....

However, the power of the former president’s endorsement could be called into question as some of his preferred candidates have faced attacks from others in the GOP. Trump faced some conservative criticism for endorsing celebrity surgeon Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race, with Fox News host Laura Ingraham saying it was a “mistake.” In Ohio, Trump has formally endorsed J.D. Vance for the Senate despite the fact Vance has been trailing Republican rival Josh Mandel....

Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump’s eldest son, made the comments on Wednesday night’s ‘Louder With Crowder’ show with controversial host Steven Crowder. During the segment, Crowder asked about future political plans for the Trump family. “I don’t know if you have any insider information on this because you’re still on social media. I follow you, you place sand in all the right places to irritate people,” he said....

Speaking on Fox & Friends Wednesday, the president’s eldest son also claimed that he started his working life as a dock attendant and bragged that he and his brother Eric Trump were “the only sons of billionaires” who could drive a Caterpillar D10 bulldozer. After saying his real estate mogul father Donald Trump “gets” middle America because he spent time on construction sites, Trump Jr. said: “He’d get on the ground and that’s why I was like, listen, he can go talk to working class Americans because he has his whole life....

The former president wrote on the Truth Social platform that Walters, who died on Friday aged 93, “was the greatest of them all, by far” as he shared a message announcing her death. “I knew her well, was interviewed by her many times, and there was nobody like the legendary Barbara Walters—and never will be!” he wrote. However, his apparent praise of journalistic integrity was short-lived as the post was swiftly followed up with a message in which Trump took another swipe at the “failing New York Times,” which he described as pushing “fake and corrupt news....

That’s just one likely consequence of the U.S. Supreme Court’s red-letter decision earlier this month to hear three cases, involving five subpoenas, seeking those records. Though the Justices will hear arguments in March and rule by next June—several months before we go to the polls—it seems increasingly doubtful that they will order a quick, clean turnover of the president’s crown jewels. Rather, the Court’s decision to review these cases signals that ninety-two years of legal precedent concerning the investigative powers of Congress may be due for an overhaul....

Games on Wednesday and Thursday were postponed after the Bucks decided to sit out of Game 5 of their first-round series against the Magic.
