Supporters of the radical movement, listed as an domestic terrorist threat by the FBI, believe that Donald Trump will once again be inaugurated as president next month. There is no suggestion that the QAnon supporters are planning anything in particular, but both Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department are keen not to have a repeat of the deadly January 6 attack, which conspiracy theorists took part in. QAnon followers first mentioned the supposed significance of March 4 following Joe Biden’s inauguration....

Chris Carter’s days as a freewheeling hipster traveling the globe as an editor for Surfing magazine came to an end after he met his current wife, a screenwriter, who encouraged him to give storytelling a try. It didn’t take long for the former itinerant board bum to rise to the crest of his new profession, despite the fact that most toil for years in the sitcom ghetto before making it big....

But can we help it if his exhibition at the James Cohan Gallery in Manhattan (through June 16) is such a killer that only, say, a member of a grumpy mayor’s decency commission wouldn’t want to find out all there is to know about the artist, the best thing to happen to figurative sculpture in a couple of artistic generations? Actually, Mueck may be one of the best things to happen to realism-as a whole-in a long time....

Who are their versions of Tommie Smith and John Carlos? Their versions of Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Bill Russell and Lew Alcindor? PHOTOS: Athletes taking social stands These are nearly 50 years’ worth of examples, but the stands they took are still fresh in our minds — especially those last month at the ESPYs by the very best players in the NBA. With no disrespect intended to Colin Kaepernick at all, he is not at the very pinnacle of his league, one of the faces of his sport, and thus can’t carry the message as far as they did or have the platform they did....

A police officer was among ten people who were killed when a gunman opened fire at the King Soopers grocery market in Boulder, about 28 miles northwest of Denver, on Monday, in the second mass shooting in the U.S. in a week. Boebert, who represents the state’s third congressional district, tweeted: “As we continue to hear the news coming out of Boulder, I’m praying for the police, first responders, and those affected by this tragedy....

The poll, which was conducted by Gallup, surveyed 3,916 U.S adults from May 25 to May 31. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In contrast, 73 percent of Democrats said they support what Biden is doing. The poll gathered responses from 1,005 U....

Rain will make trouble for college football, NFL, baseball, NASCAR and other sports this weekend. It’s not a question of “if,” but rather how much. And don’t forget the storm system’s other dangerous effect: high sustained winds and powerful gusts. Friday, NASCAR cancelled qualifying for all three races scheduled this weekend at Dover International Speedway.

That didn’t stop the U.S. government from stirring feverish excitement by holding its first Congressional hearing on UFOs—now officially referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)—in decades back in May. Perhaps predictably, the hearing left more questions than it answered and did little to expand upon a defense department report the previous year describing UFOs, whatever they are, as a threat to national security. But it highlighted that the government is taking the idea seriously and even wants to remove the stigma associated with the idea of UFOs, a stigma that has come from years of being associated with claims of intelligent beings visiting Earth....

They reacted quickly to present an ­­­alibi/excuse/explanation for the actions of the camera operator involved, who the Bengals have alleged was seen videotaping their sideline early during Sunday’s game against the Browns. The NFL is investigating, and the Bengals reportedly have turned over the video to the league. The Patriots said the camera operator was in the Cleveland press box to help compose a documentary feature on the duties of the team’s advance scout and had no connection to the team’s football operations....

Nathan finished off the save, working around a two-out double by Paul Goldschmidt to complete the American League's three-hit shutout. Nathan then saved another 13 games in the second half of the season for a season total of 43, but he did not get enough opportunities down the stretch to allow the Texas Rangers to make the playoffs. In November, Nathan turned 39 years old, and in December he signed a two-year deal with the Detroit Tigers, who, needing help in the bullpen, went to the new dean of American League closers....

Stocks jumped on Monday’s news that pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s effort is “more than 90 percent effective in preventing COVID-19.” Pfizer, in collaboration with Germany’s BioNTech firm, expects to apply for Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the third week of November “after the required safety milestone is achieved,” the company said. Vaccine developers in Russia also announced today their vaccine proved to be 92 percent effective, with post-registration trials set to begin mid-November....

This can be the perfect way to describe Arsene Wenger’s time in London with the Gunners. The lanky Frenchman came in as an unknown figure from Japan to Highbury and it proved to be a turning point in English football. “Le Professeur” introduced a daring and beautiful type of football which the Premier League had never witnessed before.
