US shakes off shocking loss, beats Colombia 3-0 to advance to Women’s Gold Cup semis

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Six days after the United States got very publicly knocked down by Mexico, the Americans got back up and started swinging again — sometimes almost literally. The U.S. had more than enough toughness and talent to win a chippy match with Colombia and to keep moving forward in the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup. Jenna Nighswonger and Jaedyn Shaw scored in the first half, and the U.S. rebounded with a 3-0 victory on Sunday night to advance to the semifinals of this inaugural event. Lindsey Horan also converted a penalty in the opening minutes for ...

Mitch McConnell does not care

Unlike a lot of conservatives gleefully cheering on Mitch McConnell’s announcement that he will step down as Senate Republican Leader in November, after the election, I actually paid the price for vocally opposing McConnell. In 2014, I used my platform at RedState to back Matt Bevin’s race against McConnell. I was one year into my contract at Fox News. Roger Ailes told me to stop bashing McConnell or stop going on Fox. I was sidelined at Fox for the next two years. And McConnell beat Bevin. I learned Mitch McConnell does not care. He does not care because he was busy putting ...

Alabama IVF ruling highlights importance of state supreme court races in this year’s US elections

CHICAGO—The recent ruling in Alabama that frozen embryos are legally considered children created a political firestorm after the decision halted treatment for many couples seeking to have families through fertility treatments. It also has turned the spotlight on the importance of institutions that are poised to play a central in this year’s elections: state supreme courts. Decisions by states’ highest courts have become especially critical in the nearly two years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to abortion. This year, campaigns for state supreme ...

Gaza doctor says gunfire accounted for 80% of the wounds at his hospital from aid convoy bloodshed

RAFAH, Gaza Strip—The head of a Gaza City hospital that treated some of the Palestinians wounded in the bloodshed surrounding an aid convoy said Friday that more than 80 percent had been struck by gunfire, suggesting there was heavy shooting by Israeli troops. At least 115 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 others injured Thursday, according to health officials, when witnesses said nearby Israeli troops opened fire as huge crowds raced to pull goods off an aid convoy. Israel said many of the dead were trampled in a crowd surge that started when desperate Palestinians in Gaza ...

Analysis: James scoring 40,000 points will be a moment for NBA to savor

Father Time is likely to take another loss tonight. LeBron James is nine points away from becoming the first NBA player to reach 40,000. It’s obviously reasonable to think that he’ll get it when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Denver Nuggets today. James has scored at least nine points in each of his last 762 games that count, including playoffs. He’s been held under nine points a total of nine times in 21 seasons. In other words, 40,000 is about to happen. And since 50,000 points probably won’t happen — though one never knows with the 39-year-old James — this will be ...
