Ex-Google engineer and tech whistleblower Kevin Cernekee, who was fired from the company in June 2018 for misuse of company equipment, said Google is trying to “influence” the 2020 election process against Trump. Speaking with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Friday evening, Cernekee became the latest former Big Tech employee to accuse the search giant of rampant internal political bias. Cernekee took broad swipes at the “highly ideological” company being “plagued with bias,” but specifically claimed Google executives on down to low-level contractors are working to sway voters against Trump in the upcoming presidential election....

The 65-year-old enjoyed a very successful career as a manager, carving out a career at top clubs in Spain, England, Germany and the Netherlands. Pogba responds to Man Utd critics “Last year I said I was going to quit, but later I changed it and I said I would take a sabbatical,” Van Gaal told Algemeen Dagblad after being handed a lifetime award by the Dutch government on Monday night....

Fils-Aime shared the story about meeting West on his Talking Games With Reggie & Herold podcast, as noted by a recent post on Nintendo Everything. On the podcast, Fils-Aime said that at a past E3 convention, the hip-hop artist/producer/fashion designer visited Nintendo’s area at the event and spent some time with famed game director Shigeru Miyamoto. To hear Fils-Aime tell it, West then asked to have a meeting with him....

QAnon adherents believe that former President Donald Trump is fighting against a Satanic cabal of Democratic elites who sexually exploit children in their quest for power and domination. In recent months, the QAnon movement appears to have increasingly become an umbrella for a range of other conspiracy theories as well. In an interview with Politico published on Saturday, former QAnon believer Jitarth Jadeja outlined how he became involved with the conspiracy theory and eventually left the movement, realizing it was all a lie....

Paul Whelan’s conviction followed his arrest in 2018 when Russian authorities accused him of having a USB drive containing state secrets. The case has further strained ties between Moscow and Washington. Whelan, 50, said he was set up in a sting operation and had been handed the suspect flash drive by a Russian acquaintance. He was convicted at Moscow City Court of receiving classified information and sentenced to 16 years of hard labor at a penal colony....

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), dangerously hot temperatures will impact the sunshine state throughout the day and well into the evening. In some parts of California, warnings will remain in place until 11:00 p.m. PDT. In southwestern California—including Orange County, Coachella Valley, San Diego and Santa Ana—the excessive heat warnings are remaining in effect until 8:00 p.m. PDT today, with temperatures reaching up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the lower deserts....

Two sources familiar with the process have confirmed to Newsweek that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who is the first Black Pentagon chief, has signed off on Army Sergeant 1st Class Alwyn C. Cashe receiving the Medal of Honor. A third source aware of the proceedings has confirmed that the White House is working to set a date for the award ceremony and that Cashe’s family has been notified. Cashe, 35, was serving with Company A, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division outside Samarra city in central Iraq on October 17, 2005, when his Bradley Fighting Vehicle ran over an improvised explosive device that tore through the BFV and ignited its fuel cell....

The games, which practiced everything from ground platoon tactics to cyber warfare, weren’t held in the Mideast and weren’t directed at Tehran. They were directed against Moscow—and constituted the most intense uninterrupted set of drills since the end of the Cold War. The activity was the culmination of a buildup that began after Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014. Though American armed forces were fighting several “hot wars” and engaged in crisis deployments in response to both Iran and North Korea, the shift to practicing “high end” warfare tasks dominated....

The teenage defender made the switch to Stamford Bridge last July, though the Premier League champions failed to agree a fee with the League Two club at the time. The Professional Football Compensation Committee has ruled the Grecians will receive a guaranteed sum of £1.3 million for the 17-year-old, with the fee potentially rising to £2.5 million through additional payments. However, Exeter chairman Julian Tagg declared he was “disappointed for football” at the final verdict....

In his frenetic final campaign dash, Bush had embarrassed himself by calling his opponents “bozos.” But in his concession speech in Houston, Bush took the high road, calling on the nation to rally behind its new leaders and reminding his dejected partisans that “America must always come first.” The president’s weary smile did not betray the shock he must have felt. Until the very last day, he could not quite believe that George Herbert Walker Bush, Leader of the Free World, Hero of the Persian Gulf, was going to lose to a slick Arkansas cracker, even one buffed up at Oxford....

One example is a bipartisan bill in the House and Senate to expand telehealth services in Medicare. Currently, few Americans qualify to have telehealth services covered under Medicare. Those who do must live in remote locations, and the number of services they can access is limited. The CONNECT Act would greatly expand the number of American seniors who can access services like mental health and emergency care on their phones and tablets by waiving many of these geographic and originating site restrictions....

We drafted for a standard, non-PPR format (12 teams, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 D/S, 1 K). Here’s a look at my squad with some thoughts on each pick: Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs (No. 2). In my book, Charles edges LeSean McCoy, who went No. 1 overall, because he is the Chiefs’ offense. The Eagles, on the other hand, have secondary weapons that can sometimes distract them from using Shady....

Instead, recent weeks have left Canadian soccer in a quagmire of controversy, public disagreement, finger-pointing, statements and counter statements, and player dissent. That combustible mix led to the cancellation of a senior men’s national team match on Canadian soil on the same day it was supposed to be played (June 5). Just a week after seeing its planned June friendly against Iran called off in the wake of significant public and political backlash, the Canadian Soccer Association was forced to cancel its replacement friendly against Panama just hours before kickoff due to a player protest in relation to a contract dispute....

The 40-year-old who is Arsenal’s top goalscorer of all time and currently second assistant manager of the Belgium national team was enthroned as ‘Igwe’ (King) of football after he was dressed in an Igbo royalty garb during an event organised by Guinness Nigeria. During his active football days, Nigerians would scream ‘Igwe’ whenever he scores a goal or show his dribbling skills. Making him a king in Africa’s biggest nation is not a bad one for the Frenchman who ranks amongst the greatest strikers football has ever produced....

The duo lit up the French Ligue 1 with 26 goals between them in the 2003-04 season, thus, guiding the Olympians to the final of the Uefa Europa League in the 2003-04 season where they lost 2-0 to Valencia. 14 years after they both played together at the Stade Velodrome outfit, Mido and the two-time African Footballer of the Year joined other football legends to see Russia defeat Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the first game of the2018 World Cup....

The Nigeria international suffered a knee injury in Anderlecht’s 1-0 win over his former side Eupen on December 22. Anderlecht manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck confirmed the severity of the injury and told reporters earlier this week that the forward could be out for as long as six months. However, in an effort to accelerate his recovery, Onyekuru is hoping some family time would help. A post shared by Henry Onyekuru (@c....

Jacinta Shackleton, a marine biologist and conservationist, saw the first of the two rays on March 25 when free diving in the area, and used the rare moment to film one of those rays. She shared the video on Instagram, describing the encounter as something she would never forget. Shackleton told Newsweek that she found the encounter very emotional. “The island was temporarily closing to guests due to COVID-19 and this was my last morning in the water....
