The Cleveland Guardians have ridden a dominant pitching staff to a division title, their first since the 2018 season. They’re also an exciting team to watch, with the youngest roster in Major League Baseball that averages just over 26 years old. They’ve had an outstanding second half as well, going 42-24, which puts them just behind the Houston Astros for best record in the American League. None of that has helped attract more fans Guardians home games. This has been a season long issue in Cleveland, extending past attendance into struggles with local television ratings. At the time, some defended...

DUBAI, Oct 2 (Reuters) - OPEC+ will consider an oil output cut of more than a million barrels per day (bpd) next week, OPEC sources said on Sunday, in what would be the biggest move yet since the COVID-19 pandemic to address oil market weakness. The meeting will take place on Oct. 5 against the backdrop of falling oil prices and months of severe market volatility which prompted top OPEC+ producer, Saudi Arabia, to say the group could cut production. OPEC+, which combines OPEC countries and allies such as Russia, has refused to raise output to lower oil prices despite...

To this point, the US Senate race in Pennsylvania has taken top billing in election-related discussions. Republican Mehmet Oz had closed the gap with Democrat John Fetterman to make it a true toss-up as the latter’s health issues have started to weigh on the electorate. But there’s another race going on that is not only just as big but appears to be favoring the GOP in a way that could ultimately deliver control of the Senate. I’m talking about Nevada, where Republican Adam Laxalt is facing off against Democrat incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Mastro. Sunday delivered another round of fresh polling,...

by Becca London | RNNWhen actor Jim Caviezel was asked about the battle of good versus evil in America, the Passion of the Christ star’s response was coined a “mic-drop moment” by Fox News host Dan Bongino, who “got goosebumps” and said it was one of the “most powerful” answers he has heard in a long time.It’s not often that Dan Bongino is speechless, but that’s exactly what happened when he heard Jim Caviezel’s impassioned response to questions asked by Fox News host Pete Hegseth.

The Clintons were "the reason Fox News was created", Chelsea Clinton has said, as she criticised its "destructive impact" particularly around climate change. Speaking alongside her mother Hillary Clinton in an interview with Variety, the pair discussed working together on their documentary series Gutsy, and whether a woman will ever be president of the United States. They were interviewed as part of the magazine's 2022 Power of Women series. "We were the reason that Fox News was created," Chelsea said. "Because Rupert Murdoch recognised a great market opportunity." Addressing its coverage of climate change, she continued: "Climate change illuminated where...

​Hillary Clinton is “dusting off” her husband’s playbook by criticizing the Biden administration’s “open borders” to put herself in place to mount a 2024 presidential run, veteran political consultant Dick Morris said in a new interview. Morris, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, said Hillary is setting herself up to enter the race as a “moderate” choice for Democrats in two years for what would be her third shot at the White House. “I see more and more signs that Hillary’s going to run,” Morris told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show in an interview that...

The president of Toyota Motor Corporation said this week that adhering to California’s plan to ban gas emission vehicles will be "difficult" to achieve, and battery powered cars will take longer to phase in than the "mainstream media" believes. "Realistically speaking, it seems rather difficult to really achieve them...But just like the fully autonomous cars that we were all supposed to be driving by now, BEVs are just going to take longer to become mainstream than the media would like us to believe," Toyoda’s comments come after California’s Air Resources Board, at the direction of the state’s Democratic Gov. Gavin...

This week, Dr Aseem Malhotra, one of the most influential cardiologists in Britain, wrote a pair of scientific papers concluding that "I have slowly and reluctantly concluded that contrary to my own initial dogmatic beliefs, Pfizer's mRNA vaccine is far from being as safe and effective as we first thought." "First of all, the Pfizer product that is labeled a Covid vaccine does not deserve to be called a vaccine," Malhotra said. "It doesn't behave like any vaccine that has come before, and it's not effective at doing what other vaccines do. It doesn't protect you from getting the disease....

In front of the mayor’s office in Lyman lay a heap of Russian propaganda posters, apparently freshly torn down and partially burned in a fire that went out in a thin fall drizzle on Sunday. Decorated in the white, blue and red colors of the Russian flag, they were soggy from the rain. One explained the significance of Russian state symbols, the Russian flag and national anthem. “The national anthem of Russia is loved in our country,” a partially burned poster read. A day after Ukrainian forces retook control of Lyman, a strategic railway hub in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region,...

If you are wondering what the damage of such a limited nuclear war would look like, the Chernobyl nuclear accident from 1986 provides a pretty good example, since that disaster site lies between Kiev and Russia and Belarus. Above you’ll find a map showing the Cesium 137 fallout from Chernobyl. If you want to know what bombing Kiev would do, just move the Chernobyl spot down and a little to the right and see where the blotches fall. But tactical nukes aren’t a nuclear accident, you say, the map would be different. Yes, it would be BIGGER. Chernobyl melted DOWN...

The Palace's confirmation came after The Sunday Times reported that conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss objected to Charles attending the conference, known as COP27, when she met with the king last month at Buckingham Palace. The Times' report suggested that Truss' advice had influenced the king's plans. King Charles has attended the conference in the past. But a member of Truss' Cabinet said the government and palace were in agreement about the decision. Clarke also rejected suggestions that Truss didn't want Charles to attend the summit because she intends to water down Britain's climate goals. The government remains committed to...

(Reuters) - Credit Suisse executives spent the weekend reassuring large clients, counterparties and investors about its liquidity and capital position, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. A spokesman for Credit Suisse declined to comment on the report when contacted by Reuters.

The hackers had claimed to have stolen more than 500 gigabytes of data from the school district during last month’s hack, although authorities have not yet verified that claim. The crime group originally set Monday as the deadline for the school district to pay a ransom to keep the data off of the internet, but the data was published ahead of time late Saturday night. The motive for publishing two days ahead of the established deadline appears to be related to Superintendent Alberto Carvalho publicly announcing that the school district would not pay any ransom to the hackers. The attack...

A Meridian, Idaho, resident recently called the police department to demand a cop hurry over and apprehend an illegal solicitor — someone who'd knocked on her door to peddle without a permit. As reported by Deputy David Gomez, a School Resource Officer in Idaho City, on his lively Facebook Page, the caller told the cops she was sure the peddler "did not have a solicitor's license." And as it turns out, she was right. Because the peddler was a girl of about age 8. She was selling homemade cookies. The officer arriving on the scene, a newbie, managed to track...
