In a blood-steeped country, the rise of a right-wing hard-liner is hardly surprising. But what is less clear is what Uribe’s victory will mean for Colombia and its increasingly close military ties to the United States. The Bush administration, fighting to increase American military engagement in the war against the rebels, will likely welcome a more resolute president in Bogota. As will most of his countrymen. “Ordinary Colombians who have grown tired of guerrilla abuses see in Uribe a tough leader with a firm hand,” says former national-security adviser Armando Borrero....

In a video message, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck can be seen holding an AR-15 which has been painted with the American flag. “I have a message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s in America, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one,” Buck says as he takes the gun off his wall and poses with it....

Colts players frantically motioned with their arms around the ensuing pile to indicate they believed they had gained possession. Officials, however, ruled the Texans had recovered the football, meaning it remained Houston’s ball with the Texans leading 20-17. Controversially, there was no announced video review of the play. Indianapolis could not initiate a challenge because the clock was well beyond the two-minute warning. Houston ran out the game’s remaining seconds after the near-giveaway to claim a key victory in the AFC South divisional race....

Everyone knows Luck’s job as the Colts’ starting quarterback is secure for the long term, however he finishes this shaky fourth NFL season. Everyone also knows Pagano’s future as their head coach is in serious jeopardy. He and his staff have no chance of saving their jobs without a better Luck, and it’s all on them now.

Columbus Crew’s defensive record has been nothing short of sensational, as they have conceded only four goals in 11 games, a record that has been the prime reason for them finding themselves at the top right now - three points ahead of Philadelphia Union....

The example of the history of the Jewish people demonstrates the imperative to combat double standards—not just for the sake of the Jewish people, but in order to secure the broader system of rights for the benefit of all. The Holocaust provides just one example of Jews being singled out and systematically targeted, and the world stood by in silence as six million Jews were slaughtered. International law, its institutions, reparations and Holocaust remembrances are all part and parcel of the pledge to “Never Again....

Glamorizing the work-a-holic and constantly operating with a sense of intense urgency is not only igniting anxiety disorder around the nation, but it also is greatly contributing to interruptions in the workplace. This cultural component is incredibly contagious and, unfortunately, is the very precursor to burnout. Over the last few years, the word ‘resilience’ has been frequently referred to and discussed.

During his prime days, he stayed the darling of the crowd wherever he played, needless to say, in any position. Less than a decade after retiring from the sport, Joe Paul Ancheri, when reminded, smiles. “Those were different days,” he nods his head. “I was lucky to be a part ‘Kerala’s Golden Generation’.” I had the fortune of playing with so many stars,” he says at one breath. “The late VP Sathyan was the Captain when I kicked-off....

At club level with Barcelona, Messi has occasionally found himself on the right side of a debatable decision. From the Catalans’ Champions League semifinal win over Chelsea in 2009 to their extraordinary comeback against PSG in 2017, there have been highly publicized instances where the footballing gods have smiled on the Argentina star. Unsurprisingly, he never stopped to question such fortune on these occasions. But in Brazil over the past month, his nation was not so lucky — even with VAR watching on....
