Former Barcelona forward Sandro has made just eight Premier League appearances this season since joining from Malaga, while Netherlands international Klaassen has featured only four times, and Allardyce admits he is open to reducing the size of his squad.

Far Point Acquisition Corp. CEO Thomas Farley said Monday on CNBC that though the Federal Reserve had “no choice, certainly over the last six months, to keep raising rates to the point where the economy cools dramatically,” the surge in interest rates is pushing companies to shed employees next year. “Every CEO I talk to right now…every single one is thinking about layoffs, cutting hiring or dramatically reducing investment,” Farley said, noting that the labor market is going “ice cold....
There’s no tradition of being happily single in the Jewish religion. Whereas a Christian woman can aspire to be the next Mother Teresa, the Jews have the likes of Jessica Sklar, best known for marrying Jerry Seinfeld, as a role model. This value can be traced all the way back to the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, which says that it’s not good for a person to be alone and urges man and woman to procreate....
Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most high-profile candidates known to have backed the radical conspiracy as well expressing a number of racist, anti-Semitic and Islamaphobic views. Her victory in Georgia’s 14th congressional district was long predicted after her Democratic opponent dropped out in September, leaving her unopposed. “Now there’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it,” she said in a Facebook video from August 2017....
As the two teams met on the field for pre-game activities, tempers started to flare up. This is somewhat expected in a heated rivalry, but referees decided to take action before matters got even worse. Before the game even kicked off, referees announced every single player on both teams was issued an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. This means if any player is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game, they will be ejected....

While violent fights with Prince William in the kitchens of Kensington Palace and pleas with his father not to marry “wicked stepmother” Queen Camilla may grab headlines, the prince’s account of a frostbitten “todger” and his earliest sexual experiences are the lesser expected bombshells to flow from Harry’s (ghost-written) pen. These, particularly the frostbite anecdote and accompanying description, have earned the prince criticism from those who claim he’s diluted the monarchy’s “magic” to others bemoaning that “everything I’ve learned about Prince Harry’s frostbitten penis I’ve learned against my will....
The ship will not be home to patients infected with coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, but instead for other emergencies.

While Hugh died covering the retreat of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), his life leading up to this final, fateful reunion with the former Starfleet admiral became, with his reappearance on Star Trek: Picard, one of the most gratifying transformations in Star Trek’s history.

During a segment on MSNBC’s Hardball on Monday, former Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) slammed the president for calling Cummings’ Baltimore district a “rat and rodent infested mess.” Before she addressed the president’s language, the show’s host, Chris Matthews, aired a clip of Fox News anchor Chris Wallace telling acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney that Trump has a history of using the term “infested” to attack members of the Congress members of color....
John Guandolo, who parted from the FBI in 2008 after a series of alleged ethical violations, made the remarks on the latest edition of his Understanding the Threat radio show. The title of the show mirrors the name of his anti-Muslim group, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has categorized as a hate group. “[Even after] an organized attack where people are filming a Saudi Air Force officer killing Americans on a naval air station and we’re like, ‘Hey, the Saudi president, the Saudi king said he is really sorry, deeply disturbed,’” said Guandolo....
Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 476-page report was publicly released on Monday. Although it documented “misconduct” by lower-level FBI officials and “clear abuse of the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] process” to obtain a warrant to surveil a Trump campaign official, it largely dismissed allegations that FBI leaders acted improperly. Horowitz concluded that the FBI had adequate reason to open the probe into Trump’s campaign, over valid concerns about Russian interference....
