Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference he had “no doubt that it was not our missile,” a message later contradicted by U.S. President Joe Biden, who told reporters at the White House “that’s not the evidence,” per CNN. Amid the confusion and fingerpointing, however, posts have appeared on social media which allege that the cause of the attack may have been a typing error by artillery target coordinators....

“Biden and Democrats just clarified the fact that they are fully in favor of (very) LATE TERM ABORTION, right up until the time of birth, and beyond - which would be execution,” Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning. “Biden even endorsed the Governor of Virginia, who stated this clearly for all to hear. GET OUT & VOTE!!!” Trump’s tweet comes the morning after Biden said during an NBC News town hall in Miami that if Roe v....

News that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will snub the former Soviet president’s funeral (which allegedly will not be a state service) may indicate how far the leadership wishes to distance itself from Gorbachev’s brand of Western cooperation and diplomacy. However, a photo recently shared online claims to put Putin within shoulder distance of both Gorbachev and then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan, the pair whose negotiations led to the eventual dismantling of the Soviet Union....

• The video gives the false impression that the Clintons somehow caused Paul to be investigated for securities fraud as retaliation for a lawsuit he filed against them. But the investigation – and Paul’s indictment – came first. • A lawyer appearing on the video claims that a telephone conversation between Paul, Hillary Clinton and others shows that she had knowledge of and perpetrated illegal campaign activities, when the conversation illustrates no such thing....

Arizona Sen. John McCain promised to make the U.S. “oil independent” within five years, a goal experts say can’t be achieved. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claimed American students score in the bottom quarter among industrial nations, but they score about average in the most recent tests. Romney also claimed that federal programs to prevent teen pregnancy are “obviously not working,” while in fact births are dramatically below what they were in 1991 despite a relatively small increase last year....

A survey of Goldman Sachs small businesses conducted by Babson College found 88 percent of companies that received Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans exhausted funding. Failure on the part of Congress to enact another round of financial relief by the end of September would force 36 percent of businesses surveyed in a position to lay off employees or cut their wages. Unemployment in the United States reached heights not seen since the Great Depression in April, after businesses closed down to slow the spread of a new coronavirus....

These stark scenes led some Christian leaders to come together to develop resources that they hope will help curb a recent surge in Christian nationalism, which they view as not only dangerous to American democracy but to their religious faith itself. As many conservative Christians—and particularly white evangelicals—have embraced former President Donald Trump, other faith leaders within the religious community have developed a new curriculum to address the “heretical” beliefs of the Christian nationalist movement....

Europe is seen as evidence that secular modernity has entered the lives of ordinary people. But amid the apparent dusk of faith in Europe, one can already spot the religious owl of Minerva taking flight. This religious revival may be as profound as that which changed the course of the Roman empire in the fourth century. In his remarkable book “The Rise of Christianity,” the American sociologist Rodney Stark explains how an obscure sect with just 40 converts in the year 30 A....

Voices also can be heard insulting one another, focusing on the death of a grandma and even making threats against the other’s girlfriend, after he claimed she’d be going to “h3ll.” “This situation was the result of a technical issue, which temporarily swapped the amazon ad creative with a different video. This issue has now been fixed,” a spokesperson for TikTok told Newsweek. It’s unclear exactly how the glitch happened, but many have found the results of it hilarious but also worrying....

That’s why it may seem odd to see a Facebook ad claim the prominent Republican has not only endorsed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) ambitious climate change initiative, but that he’s also rallying his GOP colleagues to do the same. That statement of support, however, is fake. It’s the product of splicing together video to make it appear as truth, and it’s by design in order to test one of the world’s largest social media platforms....

Yes, that sounds odd, but the situation called for Gurley to hit the brakes. The Falcons trailed by only two points, so they could have kept the clock running and kicked a short field goal as time expired to guarantee a win.

McKinley was a candidate to be traded ahead of the NFL’s Tuesday deadline with Atlanta off to a 2-6 start to the season and the pass-rusher in the final year of his rookie deal. But the trade deadline came and went with McKinley still a Falcon. He took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to question that decision. “These @AtlantaFalcons turned down a 2nd round draft pick when I requested to get traded last year,” McKinley wrote....

The rookie Falcons safety left Thursday’s preseason game with a knee injury and will need surgery, but just an arthroscopic procedure that will cause him to miss 3-4 weeks, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Friday. MORE: NFL Power Rankings “From all of us who know Keanu, you know he’s going to put a thousand percent into all the rehab to get ready,” Quinn told reporters. “We know kind of what he stands for and the toughness, so I’d expect the shorter-term [amount of time being out] with him....

The key for Atlanta was its defense. After giving up a pair of TDs to Curtis Samuel — a 12-yard rush up the gut and a 29-yard grab on a flea flicker — the dirty birds buckled down and held Carolina to just three points in the second half. The Falcons came up with fourth-down stops on the Panthers’ last possession of the first half and first possession of the second half, and capped off a great night with a late interception in the red zone by Blidi Wreh-Wilson to seal the game....

Opening day starter Michael Vick out has been out with a hamstring injury he suffered in a Week 5 victory over the Giants. Since then, Kelly has been coy about naming a starter, other than on a week-to-week basis, but the fact that Vick was cleared to play this week forced his hand. Although Vick's style of play in theory makes him a good fit for Kelly's run-and-gun offense, Foles' production over the past few weeks has been impossible to ignore....

But Hurts nearly took a massive hit from his own fans as he exited FedEx Field following the game; a group of Eagles faithful crowded near the tunnel, eventually causing a gate to collapse and nearly sending them tumbling down on the second-year quarterback.
