In most cases, the shortfall did not occur suddenly, but instead demonstrates a rising trend that police departments across the nation have identified over the last several years. Jim Burch, the president of the nonpartisan and nonprofit National Police Foundation (NPF), told Newsweek that police departments are experiencing issues with recruitment and retention. Recruitment has been a problem “for many years,” Burch said. “I think what is a little bit different about it today is, we have a continuing recruitment—I’ll call it a crisis....

In its Wednesday report, the CBO said the federal debt is expected to rise sharply this year, to 98 percent of GDP. This is significantly higher than the 79 percent of GDP at the end of 2019 and the 35 percent in 2007, before the start of the 2008-2009 Great Recession. The CBO also projected the federal debt will exceed 100 percent in 2021, the first time this has happened in 70 years, and increase to 107 percent in 2023....

The staff member asked her if she had a jacket to “cover up” and was unpersuaded by Rowe’s protestations. She and her son were taken outside the aircraft and told that what she was wearing was too revealing. Rowe, who is a family doctor in Houston, Texas, then said she felt obliged to wrap a blanket around her waist for the flight. When she got home she tweeted about the incident which she said made her feel “humiliated....

Much maligned for his performances for the U.S. national team, Chandler has always seemed to put together better outings in the Bundesliga. And a run of form that began just before the league’s winter break may be the best of his career. Chandler assisted on Kevin-Prince Boateng’s opener for Eintracht Frankfurt against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday. It was the winner in the 2-0 victory as Chandler went 90 minutes for the hosts on the left side....

The battle of American strikers didn't quite play out as hoped, with both forwards struggling to get involved in the action. Johannsson delivered the opening goal of the match on a first-half header. Agudelo never really got going as the target forward in the Utrecht attack, playing 74 minutes before being subbed out. The weekend was much better for European-based Americans than the last, with two other members of Jurgen Klinsmann's player pool joining Johannsson in the scoring column....

On Tuesday, Trump sent a letter to Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, informing him that he was considering a permanent freeze of funding to the WHO. In the letter, Trump highlighted a number of grievances he had with WHO’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, including the fact Americans didn’t visit Wuhan, the Chinese city where SARS-CoV-2 originated. “Remarkably, the World Health Organization was silent when China denied the two American members of the team access to Wuhan entirely,” Trump wrote in the letter....

This question is becoming ever less academic and ever more pressing. For its part, just last week the Biden administration threatened “terrible consequences” should China strike. Given the increasing urgency of the matter, its outsize geopolitical significance and the way in which any such conflict involving America could escalate—with dramatic implications for our way of life—the American people deserve a genuine national conversation about Taiwan. Elevating the issue would manifestly be in America’s national interest: It would be expedient and simply the right thing to do....

Gallup’s poll surveyed 906 adults across the country between January 21 and February 2 with a 4 percent margin of error. It found that a plurality of 44 percent of respondents think Trump has made progress in combatting terrorism, despite bipartisan concerns that the president’s term was a boon for far-right extremism. Thirty-five percent of respondents believed America had gone backwards in combatting terrorism under Trump, while 20 percent thought the country had more or less stood still....

So far, the White House remains silent. “There has been no high-level contact,” Carlos Fernández de Cossío Domínguez, director of the Cuba Foreign Ministry’s General Division for the United States, told Newsweek. “The Biden administration has publicly stated that a policy review process towards Cuba is underway,” he added. “We do not know the true pace and scope of this process.” The review is one of many announced by U....

The average viewership for the Academy Awards has dropped significantly throughout the past few years. The awards show saw its 23.6 million viewership from 2020 drop to 9.8 million the following year, and if the decline continues, the show could be looking at its lowest viewership ever. A few notable faces have been outspoken about the Academy’s decision to exclude Spider-Man: No Way Home from the Best Picture category, highlighting the film’s critical and monetary success worldwide....

The robot is called Astro. It can move around your home with three primary functions in life - to provide home security, check in on your loved ones and pets, and provide Alexa functionality wherever it goes - it’s basically a smart speaker (opens in new tab) on wheels.

A speaker called for an ambulance and a stretcher shortly before Thunberg was due to take the stage at 11.45 a.m. local time, with large crowds gathering in the city center to hear the 17-year-old activist speak despite the rain and poor weather.

While graphics cards were starting to come down in cost earlier this year, purchasing a brand-new GPU is still pretty pricey for many, though new-gen generally makes predecessors a little cheaper. Much of the PC gaming world is still reeling from the effects of the tech shortages that plagued the industry a couple of years ago, which meant that Nvidia’s Ampere and AMD’s RDNA 2 range were difficult to come by....

We’ve already reviewed the Ryzen 7, which offered essentially the same performance as Intel’s best at half the price. Now it’s the turn of Ryzen 5. Because mid-range processors are much more competitive on price, we weren’t expecting Ryzen 5 to come in and undercut Intel’s Core i5 by half. No, here AMD competes by offering more cores and threads at a similar price to Intel. We’ve tested the Ryzen 5 1600X against the Core i5-7600K because of their prices....

AMD says it will be launching the new RX 6600 XT on August 11. Though this one will be slightly less powerful than its 6700 XT contemporary, the company promises that this GPU will set a “new standard” for 1080p gaming. A source speculates that despite this, the 6600 XT should still be comfortable running games at 1440p. RELATED: Leaked Image Shows Possible Reveal for AMD RX 6600 XT Card...
