Given two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, many people (athletes included) want to lose undesired body fat. The desire to lose weight quickly leads people to crash diets. But is it true the less you eat, the more weight you will lose? No. A big slashing of calories poorly predicts how much weight you will lose because your body adapts to perceived “famine” conditions by conserving energy. Here is a study that proves that point:...

MORE: 2B rankings | 2B preview With that in mind, we’ve tiered off each position based on a player’s primary contributions in standard, 5x5 Roto leagues as opposed to their overall impact to your team’s bottom line. TIER 1: Building block Robinson Cano, Mariners Cano doesn’t steal bases, but his all-around talent makes him stand out above the other 2Bs. He’s the kind of player you build your team around – not a player you add as a complement....

Trump has suggested Democratic presidential candidate Biden and his party are “against the Bible” in a recent “tele-rally” with supporters in Pennsylvania. “Essentially, they’re against God if you look at what they’re doing with religion,” he said. He did not expand further on how he felt they were against religion, but his comments reiterate similar combative lines he has used towards his political adversaries in recent days. Trump previously said that while in Texas he had said “the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats,” and Biden are against “Oil, Gas, Guns, & God....

“Bill Barr is not acting as the attorney general for the people of the United States; Bill Bar is the personal henchman for Donald Trump,” Jayapal said during an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday. Jayapal made the comments after a heated exchange with Barr during a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier that day. During the hearing, Jayapal grilled Barr on the apparent “discrepancy” in his department’s treatment of Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington, D....

Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law expert and professor emeritus at Harvard University, made a Saturday night appearance on MSNBC and spoke to host Ayman Mohyeldin about the most recent hearing of the select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot. The committee held its ninth and potentially final hearing on Thursday, ending it with an unprecedented and unanimous vote to subpoena the former president to testify under oath about the events surrounding the insurrection....

Trump will be campaigning for a number of his endorsed candidates, including Ohio GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance. The rally will be livestreamed on the Right Side Broadcasting Network’s (RSBN) YouTube channel. The former president is set to deliver remarks at the “Save America” rally at 7 p.m. at the Covelli Centre after speeches are made by guest speakers Ohio congressmen Jim Jordan and Bill Johnson, and Republican congressional candidates Max Miller, Madison Gesiotto Gilbert and J....

Trump’s attendance at the matchup between the number one-ranked LSU Tigers and number two-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide was preceded by two recent athletic events in which he was overwhelmingly booed by attendees. Despite the positive audience reaction Saturday, Alabama student government leaders prepared for the event by cautioning the more than 101,000 fans against “disruptive behavior” during Trump’s visit. Waving, cheering Alabama fans chanted out “USA” as Trump appeared in his box suite near the 50-yard line....

“ALERT: So now we find out that the entire Mueller ‘hit squad’ illegally wiped their phones clean just prior to the investigation of them, all using the same really dumb reason for this ‘accident’, just like Crooked Hillary smashing her phones with a hammer, & DELETING HER EMAILS!” Trump tweeted early Saturday morning. The president continued on to say that the “Mueller Scam should never have been set up in the first place....

After all, this is far from Trump’s first attack on the environment and not even the first time he has asked for deep cuts at the EPA. His administration has rolled back 95 critical policies that will set us back years in making progress toward our fight against climate change. Even casual consumers of news are aware of Trump’s disregard for climate change and decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement....

The Washington Post published an op-ed by juror Seth Cousins on Tuesday, in which Cousins refuted Trump’s suggestion that foreperson Tomeka Hart was biased against Stone. Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison last week for his attempt to sabotage an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Trump had already meddled in Stone’s sentencing, sparking a scandal that saw the case prosecutors resign after the Department of Justice said it would revise their suggestion of seven to nine years behind bars....

The juxtaposition of Trump’s impeachment trial and Biden’s ambitious plans is no coincidence. Trump’s acquittal has left Republicans badly fractured and on the defensive. The Republican Party is imploding. Since January 6, growing numbers of Republicans have deserted it. State and county committees are becoming wackier by the day. Big business no longer has a home in the crackpot GOP. All this has created a political void into which Democrats are stepping with far-reaching reforms....

One of the more recent notches under Triple H’s belt is the undeniable success of NXT, which is largely due to Hunter’s contributions in the early stages, as well as the day-to-day, hands-on operation of the yellow brand. Some of the memories figure their famous Authority storyline, which is not exactly worth bragging about. Nevertheless, the WWE power couple remains one of the most prominent duos in the entire industry, and from the looks of things, that will likely not change anytime soon....

But then the world changed. COVID-19 turned the wrestling industry upside down, and everyone had to adjust. Ripley dropped the NXT Women’s Championship to Flair at WWE WrestleMania 36. She was pinned again a couple of months later in the match where Io Shirai won the title. At the time, Triple H said everything with Ripley would make sense in a few months. But it’s hard to see how her booking adds up....

Launched in 2018, Parler was recently thrust into spotlight after Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced he joined the platform in July, listing the site’s open policy surrounding censorship and the ability to “speak freely” as Parler’s biggest attractions. The app has largely become a sounding board for those in support of President Donald Trump and conservative agendas, but over the weekend a flood of new users, many of whom appeared to be people of color in their profile photos, started posting....

A total of 10 schools that will be in the Power 5 in 2023 made coaching changes heading into the 2023 season, and cost was not a factor. Auburn’s Bryan Harsin and Nebraska’s Scott Frost were among the coaches with $15 million buyouts that were due, according to FootballScoop.com. The Huskers didn’t wait until Oct. 1, when the cost of that buyout would have dropped to $8.7 million. In the College Football Playoff era, buyouts have skyrocketed — and it’s an issue that could be increasingly detrimental for the sport in the future....

When Troy Baker announced he was joining the Non-Fungible Token, or NFT, landscape, many of his fans immediately expressed their disappointment. He stated that he was partnering up with Voiceverse NFT, which seeks to sell NFTs stored on the Ethereum blockchain–NFTs that come with access to an AI-generated voice program that can replicate a specific voice. RELATED: Sega Experimenting With NFTs, Won’t Implement if Against Company Standards On the 90th episode of his podcast Play, Watch, Listen, Troy Baker addressed the controversy and specifically the criticism aimed at him....

Nearly 3,000 people perished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. “In the days and weeks after 9/11, citizens of all faiths, backgrounds, colors and creeds came together, prayed together, mourned together and rebuilt together,” Trump said during a ceremony at the site of the crash of United Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. “America will never relent in pursuing terrorists that threaten our people.” In a stark departure for the normally bombastic president, Trump didn’t mention his Democratic rival or policies with which he disagrees—choosing instead to stick to the memory of the passengers who died after they forced hijackers to crash the plane before it could reach its intended target, the U....

“Without question. It’s happening at four different levels, both state legislatures and state elected officials, some of the folks running for secretary of state in Arizona and Georgia,” he said during an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation Sunday. “But we’re also seeing [it] in the U.S. Congress.” Krebs also noted that GOP leaders no longer have power over the party’s voter base. “They [Republicans] have activated and lost control of their voting base, the people that are going to put them in power,” he said....

Trump nominated former national President of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Chuck Canterbury to head the ATF last year. The FOP, with Canterbury at the helm, had endorsed Trump in the 2016 presidential election. The ATF has been without a permanent director since 2015, although Regina Lombardo has been the acting director since May 2019. Canterbury was grilled by a number of Republicans during a confirmation hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee last July, with many questioning his commitment to gun rights....

Despite assurances from President Donald Trump that the economy is better than ever, some White House aides have reportedly begun to consider a payroll tax cut in the hope of postponing a weakening economy. Several aides spoke to The Washington Post Monday under the condition of anonymity, saying that the talks about a potential tax cut are in the early stages and just one possible plan regarding the economy....
