Police have launched an investigation after the rope, with a knot associated with hanging, was spotted on Thursday. Detectives say they do not know whether the noose was put there by someone who wished themselves harm or whether there was a sinister motive. A spokesperson for Jarrell Police Department said in a statement to local media: “If it was hate, bias or racially motivated, it’s not okay. “If it is someone who was attempting to take their life, they may not be ok....
Instead, Leach says the burden should fall on media members and police officers.

Last month, Wood, an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, told South Carolina’s Richland County GOP that Lindell, Michael Flynn—who served for 22 days as national security adviser under Trump—and lawyer Sidney Powell have endorsed his campaign. Trump endorsed Drew McKissick, South Carolina’s incumbent Republican chair, in November. Speaking to the crowd on Sunday in South Carolina, Lindell compared Wood to Trump and promised Republican voters that the candidate would make decisions “for the people....

Pence had travelled more than 5,000 miles to address the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (MEK) in Albania, where the fringe group is now based following its exile from its native country. During his talk, Pence hit out at the “brutality” of the Tehran regime, as well as urging the Biden administration not to renew an Iran nuclear deal which the U.S. withdrew from under Donald Trump’s presidency. While considered a cult with no real support in Iran, a number of high-profile figures from both parties in Washington D....
Health experts have advised people to avoid shaking hands and to wash their hands regularly as coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread around the world. But Pence, who is spearheading the Trump administration’s response to the outbreak, said in an interview with CNN that he has not followed this advice. “I’m still shaking hands. I’m also washing my hands very regularly throughout the day,” Pence said in an interview. “It’s one of the common sense practices that Americans can engage in, is wash your hands regularly....
The second-in-command for the administration of former President Donald Trump took aim at high gas prices, vaccine mandates, cancel culture and “critical race theory” as he delivered his speech to a packed crowd at Stanford’s Dinkelspiel Auditorium. Dozens of protesters gathered outside waving signs that read “resist fascism” and “your hate is not welcome,” according to social media accounts. “We are the woke left!” protesters taunted Pence in a chant, according to a tweet from KTVU’s Elissa Harrington....
Speaking with radio host Tony Perkins of the conservative Washington Watch show on Tuesday, Pompeo accused Chinese and Iranian officials of endangering lives by trying to hide the severity of the coronavirus outbreak and dodging responsibility for their own failings. Testy U.S. relations with China and Iran have deteriorated further amid the pandemic. President Donald Trump, Pompeo and others have termed the sickness the “Chinese Virus” or “Wuhan Virus,” despite protests from Beijing and warnings that such rhetoric could inflame racist sentiment in the U....
Speaking to reporters at a gathering broadcast by The Hill on Sunday, Pompeo said the administration’s national security team was “mature and capable” and ready for any eventuality. The secretary of state also said he had spoken with the president and brought him “fully up to speed” with happenings around the world as he remained in the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “I’ve been working for this president for almost four years now....
The post said, in part, “Frankly I wish they would’ve tied [the noose] to [Wallace] and drug him around the pits because he has single handedly destroyed what I grew up watching and cared about for 30 years now.” It appears to be a Facebook comment, and the words have been condemned by the Skinner family.

Head coach Mike Smith called a timeout for what most saw as no apparent reason. The timeout didn’t benefit the Falcons in any way but perhaps coaches know things that the rest of us don’t. Smith’s decision did not go over well.

Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs picked up 10 yards on the next play, setting up Daniel Carlson for the game-winning 47-yard field goal....
The Giants left fielder, obviously best known as the grandson of legendary Red Sox outfielder Carl Yastrzemski, hit his first MLB home run Friday, crushing a fastball from Orioles right hander Andrew Cashner. For older fans, the call from the Giants broadcast booth was probably enough to evoke memories of Carl’s exploits from yesteryear: “Yastrzemski hits a high drive to right — it … is … out of here!” The 28-year-old Yastrzemski, who got off to a slow start (4 for 18) since making his MLB debut May 25, had an RBI triple in the first inning Friday before homering one frame later....

BVB issue ultimatum on Aubameyang Belotti, who scored 26 times in 35 Serie A appearances for Torino last season, has been strongly linked with both Milan and Chelsea so far this summer. The Italy international has a €100m release clause in his contract but is being linked with a switch for less than that figure. And the fact that Belotti - undoubtedly Torino’s main man - was missing from the Turin-based side’s new shirt launch could be a strong sign that he is ready to seek pastures new....
The Serie A giants posted a tweet on Sunday evening, with the initials ‘NK’ and a waving hand emoji, along with the Croatian flag. Milan 8/1 to win the Europa League Milan have long been linked with a number of strikers, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Borussia Dortmund and Torino’s Andrea Belotti, but they have now seemingly rubber-stamped the signing of the former Blackburn Rovers forward.

The defense bill also delivers a blow to Biden’s COVID-19 policy, repealing the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate for service members within 30 days of enactment....
War may be hell, but it has a way of accelerating medical research. World War I brought methods for collecting and preserving blood for transfusions. World War II saw the introduction of penicillin into medical practice. One day, medical historians may remember Iraq and Afghanistan for spurring regenerative medicine, a grab bag of techniques that share the same end—to repair human bodies by helping them regenerate living tissue, rather than relying on artificial parts....
