Brittney Mohammadi, 23, became upset after the AA gate agent at the Miami International Airport refused to let her get on Flight 1061 to Los Angeles Sunday night. A bystander captured the altercation on video, which begins with Mohammadi shouting at the employee, telling them: “We’re not leaving.” She then launches herself up and over the ticket counter, getting one leg over before her partner, Maunel Arteaga, pulls her back....

The apparent defeat of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has prompted a jubilant response from conservatives in the U.S., with many pundits predicting that the election could foretell good news for President Donald Trump in 2020. Trump was elected in the second major global political upset of 2016, after the Brexit vote. Many Trump supporters see current efforts to impeach the president as an effort to overturn the result of that vote, just as the U....

McLaughlin won the race in 51.46 seconds, shattering her world record that was 51.90 prior to Wednesday in Tokyo. Fellow American Dalilah Muhammed, who finished second, won the silver with a time of 51.58 seconds, which was under the previous world record as well. Femke Bol of The Netherlands won the bronze with a 52.03 time. Muhammed was leading the final 100 meters before McLaughlin found her final gear, edging her teammate who was the defending Olympic champion....

Weston McKennie, 18, made his professional debut for Schalke 04 at Ingolstadt on Saturday in the club’s final match of the Bundesliga season. McKennie entered the match in the 77th minute, replacing Donis Advijaj in the Royal Blues’ midfield. With Schalke down a man, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. It was the first appearance in Schalke’s gameday squad for McKennie and fellow American teenager Haji Wright, who didn’t see any game action....

It was recently revealed that the American sportswear manufacturer had terminated its contract with many tennis players. On the chopping block were a few well-known names, including 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens, rising Ukrainian star Marta Kostyuk, 2019 French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova, Croatia’s Donna Vekic and World No. 8 Andrey Rublev. It was stated that Nike had dropped players that did not meet performance requirements, which included ranking positions and tournament entries....

Julian Green was the headliner of choice for the assembled media, and with so little known about the national team newcomer, there was a clear desire to get to know the Bayern Munich starlet. Jurgen Klinsmann chose to keep Green shielded from the growing buzz about his national team inclusion, so the 18-year-old was kept away from media availability on Monday, and won’t be speaking to the media until after Wednesday’s friendly, when he will presumably make his national team debut....

A recent poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy, commissioned by First Liberty Institute, reveals that almost two-thirds of Americans believe judicial nominees should not be questioned about their religious beliefs as part of the confirmation process. Instead, Americans seem to want senators to stick to a nominee’s qualifications and judicial philosophy. If the senators did that, confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court would be a no-brainer....

Published by the Pew Research Center on Thursday, the new poll asked people in the U.S. for their opinions on the country’s federal agencies. “Of the 16 agencies asked about in a national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted Sept. 5-16 among 2,004 U.S. adults, 14 are viewed more favorably than unfavorably by the public,” Pew said in a summary of its findings. ICE, however, was not one of them....

‘King Khan’ shared a video of their short interaction on Twitter. The two were all smiles during the exchange of pleasantries. Khan can also be seen rubbing the Scotsman’s belly as they joke about their retirement physiques. Although the meeting was wholesome, fans didn’t let Khan off the hook with his caption as they claimed that it was copied from Ferguson’s Wikipedia page. One user @therealhugo said: @King_Julien1984 commented:...

It differs from the Eero 6 – a system which is already on sale in the UK – because it’s tri-band rather than dual-band. It means there’s an additional 5GHz band that’s used purely for the satellites to communicate with each other. This, and the fact it’s Wi-Fi 6 rather than Wi-Fi 5, does make it considerably more expensive: a hub unit with built-in Zigbee costs £229 – the full three-pack will set you back £599....

Like Intel, AMD has several lineups of laptop chips, including the U, H, and HS series. But what are the main differences between AMD’s laptop chips, and what should you know about them? Understanding AMD’s Laptop Chips Before heading in, we must first explain AMD’s laptop chip branding. We feel like this is worth a brief initial clear-up since, trust us—it gets more confusing than just the suffixes. Bear with us here....

In a couple of videos uploaded to its official YouTube channel, AMD has announced that FSR 2.0 will be coming this year and was able to quickly show it working in Arkane Studio’s Deathloop, comparing it side by side with the current version of FSR. The attempt is to push forward with the technology to create clearer visuals in-game as well as better performance. FSR, even in its current form, is open-source, which means it also works on Nvidia hardware....

The home of the original chicken sandwich, the fast-food restaurant scored higher than all the 17 limited-service companies analyzed, except on menu item availability. It was followed by Arby’s and Culver’s in second and third places respectively. The study was conducted by FoodserviceResults and was published by QCR Magazine and used a range of participants to ensure that the respondent base was reflective of the U.S. drive-thru market. Just over 1,000 consumers completed the survey created by FoodserviceResults who had visited a drive-thru at least once in the previous 30 days....

A composer himself, Swafford proves to be an astute and sympathetic interpreter in the first-rate Charles Ives: A Life With Music (525 pages. Norton. $30). Equally important, he knows his way around American culture–an indispensable trait when it comes to explaining Ives, who was after nothing less than a musical equivalent of that culture in his compositions. For example, much of the chapter on Ives’s father, a Danbury bandleader, is spent discussing the role that marching bands played in small-town New England life in the late 19th century....

The Cricket Coach Education program was launched in May 2014, two years after the formation of the ACF, and is the brainchild of Coach Patel, a convenor/member of the ACF’s Advisory & Judiciary Committee. The unique cricket coach certification program is designed from an American coach’s perspective on how educators understand the game and teach it to scholars. Following such guidelines, it is expected that coaching cricket to American boys and girls would be much easier, as well as certifying the coaches, based on coaching techniques employed by American sports coaches....

During Powell’s tenure as chair, he oversaw a Federal Reserve that encouraged banks to lend during the pandemic, provided lending to corporations, and supported loan offerings to medium size businesses, among other actions. Bouncing back from a recession triggered in March by economic shutdowns, the U.S. economy grew over the course of 2021, and the year ended with Americans seeing an increase in their wealth as the country built an extra $2....

The teenager turned 19 on Monday. He was named to Tuttosport’s shortlist for its Golden Boy award, given to Europe’s best player under the age of 21, on Tuesday. Wednesday, he scored his second goal of the Bundesliga season — and Borussia Dortmund’s 3,000th — in a 3-0 victory over Hamburg. Friday, his head coach Peter Bosz declared Pulisic “must win” the Golden Boy. And on Saturday, he was active in a Dortmund 6-1 rout of Borussia Monchengladbach....

Sign-stealing has always been part of the game. It all falls under that “gamesmanship” umbrella that’s more prevalent in baseball than other sports. Sign-stealing is no different than letting the grass grow a bit longer in front of the plate or leaving the basepaths a little more muddy. But technology is where we should draw the line, right? There’s just something inherently unfair about an unknown camera set-up — as is reported in Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich’s piece for The Athletic — which gives the home team a clear leg up during the game....

While these legal challenges will be mounted under the pretense of preserving voting integrity and ensuring illegal ballots have not been cast, those bases will thinly veil their true, nefarious purpose—to deprive minority and urban voters of having their votes counted. To underscore the voluminous number of legal actions planned, the chief counsel of the Republican National Committee said legal work is “going to be on steroids this year.”...

Aamir, who made a comeback to the Pakistan team in early 2015 after serving a five-year ban for spot-fixing, said he will be initially reducing his Test workload to have more impact and play more for Pakistan. I am not saying that I will give up playing Tests. But I will be targeting only the important ones and also try to manage my career in such a way that I can continue to play without any fitness issues for a long while, he said....
