The president suggested this would not sit well with voters and jeopardize incumbent Democrat Mark Warner’s chances of retaining his U.S. Senate seat in the 2020 Virginia election. Three gun regulation bills were passed by the Virginia Senate on Thursday, which will prohibit firearm possession in public spaces during certain events, limit monthly handgun purchases and require background checks for firearm transfers. According to the Virginia General Assembly, Senate Bills 35 and 69 passed along party lines, with 21 ‘Yes’ to 19 ‘No’ votes....

Stone was convicted last fall on all seven counts he faced—five counts of lying to Congress, one count of witness tampering and one count of obstructing a congressional committee proceeding into Russian involvement in the 2016 election and sentenced to more than three years in prison. However, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Stone was allowed to delay his reporting date to begin his sentence. “Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency....

The FBI searched Trump’s Florida home in August as part of a Department of Justice investigation and seized thousands of files, including some marked as classified, that he allegedly took from the White House at the end of his presidency. The former president has not been charged with any crimes and has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing in regard to the documents. However, the warrant for the Mar-a-Lago search listed three potential violations of federal law, including part of the 1917 Espionage Act....

“That was a retweet, that wasn’t from me,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. He then argued that Terrence K. Williams, who wrote the original tweet, was a reliable source. “He’s a man who has half a million followers,” the president pointed out, suggesting that the size of a person’s audience somehow gives them greater credibility. “The retweet was from somebody that’s a very respected conservative pundit, so I think it was fine,” he insisted....

Biden asserted in the spring that he anticipated running for president again in 2024, but many have speculated that he will step aside and allow another Democratic candidate to run. The president will be 81 at the time of the next presidential election, and his approval rating has plummeted over the past several months. “I would give them an F—if permissible an F minus,” Trump told Orlando, Florida’s WDBO during a Friday morning interview when asked about the Biden administration’s performance....

Kevin Hassett told CNN’s State of the Union that he expects the unemployment rate to rise to “north of 20 percent in May,” adding that it may not fall to below single digits by fall. “Unemployment will be something that moves back slower,” he said. “I think it could be better than that, but you’re going to be starting at a number in the twenties and working your way down and so, of course, you could not be back to full employment by September or October....

Technology companies like Meta have been rattled in recent months as advertising revenue continues to slow ahead of an anticipated recession this year. In November, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a 13 percent reduction in his company’s staff, which cut around 11,000 jobs. On Thursday, Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that Meta had “lost $750 Billion in value, and has become very boring” since he was banned from the social network....

The minute-long video obtained by Newsweek ahead of its release online on Tuesday shows clips of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing Trump’s impeachment inquiry, of Trump encouraging China to investigate 2020 Democratic front runner Joe Biden, and of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani admitting he asked Ukraine to look into Biden. “This is a clear and unprecedented abuse of power. No one is above the law,” a voice over says....

Political commentator David Frum, who worked in the Bush White House and has since authored a book about President Trump titled Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic, posted his thoughts on social media—also sharing the results of a poll that he said showed American voters were at odds with Trump. “American voters are receptive to Joe Biden’s argument that Trump has lowered US standing in the world,” Frum tweeted, sharing an annual Gallup poll, the most recent results of which were released in February 2019, that showed 53 percent of respondents said they were dissatisfied with the U....

Trump and some of his allies are being investigated for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. “If I had to guess, once the indictments are returned and Donald Trump is presented in court on that indictment, and he is arraigned, [and]… read the charges that the grand jury has leveled against him, we’ll probably see a trial date set somewhere between six months to a year down the road, but the defense attorney will forever try to file motions to continue to push it further and further down the road,” Kirschner said Wednesday during an interview on The Legal Breakdown....

There have been lots of goings on in the Call of Duty universe recently, including the annual Call of Duty Championship, the release of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Ascendance DLC and the reveal that the series has sold over 175 million units during its lifetime.

RELATED: Things You Need To Know Before Starting Ark: Survival Evolved On top of that, it’s somewhat novel compared to other survival games. So why are we here then? Because the game has plenty of things that it could have done better. For some, the general consensus is that it’s almost fun or almost unique but falls short on many of its chosen video game inspirations. Here’s where Tribes of Midgard could make some improvements....

Players, backroom staff and officials from the Brazilian club, as well as a number of journalists, were among the 71 people to lose their lives when the flight carrying them to the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional went down in Cerro Gordo, La Union. Chapecoense to be awarded title Amid torrential rain in the town of Chapeco, coffins - which arrived from Colombia earlier in the day and were covered in Chapecoense’s green and white colours - were walked through the stadium, along with respective photographs and shirts of those who died....

Late on Tuesday night, Trimble, a sergeant in the US Army, accused Cook of giving her a concussion in an altercation that left her with scars on her face. Trimble, in her lawsuit against Cook, alleges that she had to use mace on the running back before retreating to his bedroom, where she called a friend for help. This provoked 26-year-old Cook to attack her with a broomstick. Gracelyn Trimble took to social media to show the public the damage that Cook allegedly left on her face, and it is not pretty viewing....

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, Triple H explained WWE decision to book the two-day Great American Bash event for weekly NXT TV. When asked whether it was part of a healthy competition, Triple H said that it absolutely was and anyone who thought otherwise was naive about the situation. He noted that counter-programming isn’t a new trend in professional wrestling as WCW did it back in the day with Clash of Champions going up against WrestleMania IV in 1988....

As with LeBron James, Bayless has a history of baiting NBA superstar Kevin Durant. And Durant seems easy to bait. MORE: Classic photos of Kevin Durant The thin-skinned Durant appears to voraciously read everything talking heads say about him, especially Bayless, who perfected the “Embrace Debate” format that’s taking over sports studio shows. That led a pissed-off Durant to ask one a reporter to set him up at a press conference, just so he could “tee off” on the controversial then-ESPN personality....

There’s certainly nothing wrong with scrapbooks for storing photos, as these will provide a more permanent option versus a digital photo frame, but the digital photo frame can be a nice companion. While most of them work easily, there are some tricky aspects to using some of the digital photo frames’ advanced features. Reset the Frame Many times, problems with the digital photo frame can be fixed by resetting the frame....

Willis early last year opened the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in her state. Leaked audio revealed in January 2021 that Trump, while still serving as president, pressured Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to “find 11,780 votes” to shift the election’s outcome in his favor. Legal experts have increasingly alleged that the Georgia probe is a “clear-cut” example of criminal conduct by the former president....

On Friday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that it had completed a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for new leases in California and announced that the lands would be opened for extraction activities. The plan, which was first proposed in April, will allow extraction activities in the state’s Central Valley and along the Central Coast and permit extraction activities near the Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks....

The Washington Post reported on Saturday that smuggling gangs have used commercial power tools to cut through the new parts of Trump’s controversial wall along the Mexican border. The gangs used a cordless reciprocating saw, which can be purchased at hardware stores starting from as little as $100, to make gaps big enough for people and drugs to pass through, U.S. agents and officials who have knowledge of the situation told the newspaper....
