Just like her namesake, the Houston Humane Society (HHS) said, Betty White the dog is strong and resilient after spending most of her life on the streets. The canine arrived at the shelter just days after the actress’ death on December 31. The dog was found wandering the streets of Houston, a “scruffy little Maltese mix, severely matted…in rough shape,” Angelina Saucedo, HHS’s marketing manager told Newsweek. “We knew it was only fitting to name her after Betty White for her strength and resilience,” she added....

Days later, Stella ran away from home and traveled several miles to the Cisanello hospital in Pisa, where her owner later died. Her story was shared on Facebook by Sportella Tutella Animali, a group based in San Giuliano Terme, a commune in the province of Pisa. “Stella’s owner is one of the victims of this virus,” the group said in a post on Monday, calling for someone to adopt Stella....

Dogecoin dropped about 40 percent in the hours immediately after Musk’s SNL hosting gig. But the price of the meme-inspired Dogecoin, often backed by the the SpaceX and Tesla founder, managed to rebound rather dramatically. Between 9 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. Sunday, Dogecoin’s tumultuous day saw its price rise back up to 56 cents, at time of publication. Television reviewers, trending social media stories and Musk’s dedicated Twitter critics described his SNL monologue and overall performance as “awkward....

The pets were thrown a ‘beach party’ by staff at Circle of Friends Animal Shelter in Grand Forks, and it is one of the sweetest things we’ve ever seen. In collaboration with Bully Brew Coffee, the fun event took place on July 15 and was posted to Facebook by the shelter in a live video, which can be viewed here. The animals are Shepadoodles, which are a cross between a German shepherd and the standard poodle....

Anyway, the new guy runs a bony finger down the organization chart and silently ticks off the names of everyone senior enough to gun for his job and fires them, leaving only terrified eunuchs. But firing people costs money–there are contracts, you see, and stock options–so he has to be very careful to fire only those who pose an actual threat, by dint of their intelligence or courage or originality or some other personality defect....

Jeffrey Clark, a former Department of Justice lawyer who allied with former President Donald Trump, could face criminal contempt if the panel approves of the charges. This potential charge comes after Clark walked out of his hearing along with his lawyer Harry MacDougald after 90 minutes. Members of the committee have previously said that they planned to hold uncooperative witnesses in contempt. Clark had been interviewed by the committee on November 5....

It’s about time Miami’s offense matched its defense’s dominant nature in 2014. The result was a 37-0 beatdown over banged-up San Diego on Sunday. Tannehill finished 24-of-34, 288 yards and three touchdowns, and the Dolphins (5-3) outgained the Chargers (5-4) in total yards, 441-178. We don’t take the term beatdown lightly. The offense was great, but it’s the defense — you know, the one that was quietly ranked No. 7 in total yards allowed per game and No....

Coach Brian Flores told reporters Tuesday that Josh Rosen will start for his team the rest of the season. “It’s settled,” Flores said. “I think Josh is improving on a week-to-week basis. I think he’s a young, talented player and I think he needs to get in there and develop and get reps and just improve.” Rosen will get the opportunity to showcase his talent after being shipped out of Arizona this offseason, but it’s for a franchise that appears uninterested in winning football games....

Tannehill is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board for 240.5 yards, and we like the OVER thanks to his efficiency of late and the Jets’ porous secondary. The Jets have allowed opposing quarterbacks to average 255.5 yards per contest this season, which is promising enough for an OVER play, but Tannehill’s recent play adds some additional confidence. He’s only hit the 241-yard plateau in one of his last four games, but he’s faced a number of touch defenses over that span....

Rather than individuals protesting privately during the playing of the national anthem, Miami players decided decided “they’ll instead lock arms in solidarity,” ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported Sunday morning. MORE: Patriots’ Robert Kraft releases statement The public’s collective eye Sunday was focused on how players would react to a series of tweets from Trump. “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast,” Trump tweeted at 6:44 a....

Sabonis spent five seasons in Indiana where he became one of the league’s best interior scorers and rebounders. He was named an All-Star in each of the last two seasons. This year Sabonis is averaging 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 58.0 percent from the field. Pacers-Kings trade details Pacers receive: Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Tristan Thompson and a 2027 second-round pick Kings receive: Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday...

[HTML1] In the world of MOBAs, strategy and skill come above all else. Dedicated players spend hundreds of hours mastering their preferred characters, so that they are ready for the next match. The community’s extreme commitment to the game is a major part of why DOTA 2 and other MOBAs (like Heroes of the Storm) make such great e-sports entertainment. As a competitive player, it’s nice to be able to make some small aesthetic changes to keep things fresh while pouring insane amounts of time into the game....

Voting machines provided by Dominion became the center of controversy after Trump and others claimed that the equipment was a factor in widespread voting fraud. Some connected to the Trump camp claimed that Dominion machines were capable of running software that flipped votes from Trump to President-elect Joe Biden. Dominion has previously denied the allegations. Trump’s lawyers have yet to provide any tangible evidence for their claims. Coomer said that the theories about Dominion machines have caused him to receive death threats....

That's the conclusion I've come to heading into the NFL Draft and watching the scrutiny of former 2012 sophomore sensations Jadeveon Clowney, Teddy Bridgewater and Marqise Lee increase while their draft stock slips and, in the case of Bridgewater, supposedly plummets. For me it is very simple; as soon as a rule adversely affects a young man's ability to provide a living for his family I've got a problem with it....

I’m not attacking this idea the way I went after Bush’s Social Security “reforms” of a few years ago. It’s just that I’m a Social Security junkie, and that aspect of Bush’s health proposals interests me–if only because it points out how high Social Security taxes are for many families, relative to the income tax. Here’s the deal. Bush wants to let taxpayers who have health insurance exclude $7,500 (for singles) or $15,000 (for married couples) from their taxable income, but would include as income the value of employer-paid health insurance, currently tax-free....

At 51, she’s still here to remind you that she did it first and did it better, playing with the boys in her band, the Pretenders, but throwing a knowing wink at the girls. During the early ’80s, such hits as “Middle of the Road,” “Talk of the Town” and “Back on the Chain Gang” established the group’s reputation. But things have changed. Two original members died of drug overdoses, drummer Martin Chambers left then later returned....

Jofra Archer chose to play international cricket for England and has made a very strong impact in his short career so far. Jofra Archer made his Test debut in the 2019 Ashes and, ever since has played 7 Tests, picking up 30 wickets at an average of 27.4. It was nice to be supported in the ‘Black Lives Matter’ initiative: Jofra Archer International cricket was suspended from March 13 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic....

Trump has told allies not to comply with subpoenas over the probe, according to The New York Times, and on Monday he sued the chairman of the House’s January 6 committee, Bennie Thompson, and the head of the National Archives, in a bid to block access to White House documents from around the time of the riot. Such action could potentially leave committee members considering whether or not Trump is obstructing the probe....

“Congressman Matt Gaetz has never asked me for a pardon. It must also be remembered that he has totally denied the accusations against him,” Trump said in the Wednesday statement. The former president’s statement came after The New York Times reported on Tuesday evening that Gaetz had floated the idea of “blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed,” citing two unidentified people with knowledge of the discussions....

Earlier on Thursday, Schumer sent Trump a letter criticizing the “the tardiness and inadequacy” of his administration’s response, and warning him that shortages of medical equipment, personal protective equipment, testing supplies, and other necessary goods were “beyond acute” in both New York and other areas with high numbers of coronavirus cases. “While companies that volunteer to produce ventilators and PPE are to be commended and are appreciated, America cannot rely on a patchwork of uncoordinated voluntary efforts to combat the awful magnitude of this pandemic,” Schumer wrote....
