Pence, who narrowly escaped a violent mob of Trump supporters that stormed the Capitol on January 6, has been relatively quiet in the days since he attended President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20. Trump’s second impeachment trial was prompted by the then-president’s remarks before the riots broke out, challenging the authenticity of Biden’s election. Trump, a prolific Twitter user, was then banned from the social media site and has been relatively quiet in Florida in the weeks since....

Pence has long been touted as a potential 2024 candidate and after a period of quiet, he looks to be reemerging into the public eye, fuelling more speculation of a bid for the White House.

In a statement released by the State Department on Tuesday, Pompeo said the U.S. “stands with our allies and partners against the Chinese Communist Party’s coercive bullying tactics.” Pompeo condemned Beijing’s reported threat to punish the British-based HSBC bank and withdraw funding for British nuclear power plants unless the U.K. government permitted technology company Huawei to work on the country’s nascent 5G network. Huawei was poised to be at the forefront of 5G projects in Europe, much to the dismay of President Donald Trump’s administration....

Pompeo said Trump’s Saturday night tweet about targeting “52 Iranian sites important to Iranian culture” was not a threat that would violate Hague Convention and United Nations war crimes laws, which prohibit “the unlawful destruction of cultural heritage.” Instead, Pompeo said Sunday that the Trump administration is not going to “try to attack everybody running around with an AK-47,” and will attack targets of the utmost importance to the Tehran government....

Grabovski, bought out before the start of free agency by the Toronto Maple Leafs, is still on the market. Initially, the thinking was that he'd opted to wait until his honeymoon was over before making any big decision. That, according to Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons, is not exactly the case. According to one NHL GM, he wanted too much money and too much term in the early days of free agency....

The Boston Bruins winger issued a statement walking back some of what he said earlier this week about Vancouver; Lucic is from there and, for a variety of reasons , has dealt with some public ugliness over the last few years. The latest incident: what Lucic called an "attack" outside a restaurant in downtown Vancouver after Saturday's Bruins-Canucks game. The incident was caught on camera. Lucic was really, really angry and said the f-word a few times, but that was the extent of it....

On June 19, a Tweet from 2017 congratulating Milwaukee police officer John Balcerzak for his retirement reemerged. In May 1991, Balcerzak was involved in a deadly mistake surrounding the Dahmer case.

Balcerzak was fired after the incident, and although he was reinstated in May 1994, the blunder tarnished his name and career....

The buzz surrounding the Mini is anything but minimalist. And BMW, Mini’s corporate parent, couldn’t be happier. But unlike Mercedes, BMW isn’t slapping its name on its cheapest model. “Please don’t call us BMW Mini,” gasps Jack Pitney, Mini’s general manager. When it goes on sale next week, Mini’s 70 U.S. dealers will already have long waiting lists, and some will charge thousands over its $16,850 starting price. Mini’s Web site has been clogged with more than 50,000 visitors expressing interest in buying the car....
