Valentine, who hosts a show on Nashville, Tennessee-based radio station SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, was diagnosed with COVID in mid-July. He hit headlines after his family said he regretted “not being more vehemently ‘Pro-Vaccine’” after publicly expressing skepticism about COVID shots before being hospitalized by the disease. They said he now plans to “vigorously advocate” for them. On Monday, fellow SuperTalk 99.7 WTN host Dan Mandis told Phil Valentine’s fans in a Facebook post on his family’s behalf: “They are working on his lungs, that’s the critical issue right now....

“This is a huge win against the woke mob and haters of free speech! I would encourage @elonmusk to immediately: - Allow all factually true and legal content to be posted - Restore the accounts of all duly elected government officials,” said Republican U.S. Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana on Twitter. Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and author of “Woke, Inc.,” said prior to the deal it was “good for democracy,” and that Twitter needs to give users back the power during an interview on Outnumbered with Fox News....

Canada’s Ryder Hesjedal pipped Swiss rider Oliver Zaugg in a brutal climb to the finish line to win the 14th stage of the Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain) cycle race as Alberto Contador extended his overall lead. Zaugg looked to have the stage victory Saturday wrapped up when he broke away from the leading group with two kilometres of the 8.3km climb, but the 2012 Giro d’Italia winner Hesjedal pegged him back in the final 200 metres to claim victory, reports Xinhua....

Hazard drops Chelsea exit hint Former Juventus boss Conte agreed a three-year deal last April and 12 months on has Chelsea on course to win the top flight. They can re-establish a seven-point advantage over second-placed Tottenham with victory at Manchester United on Sunday and Conte’s exploits are understood to have won plenty of admiration in his homeland. Inter have ambitious plans under their wealthy Suning Group owners and have reportedly placed Conte at the top of their coaching wishlist....

The Italian signed a new contract with the Blues after guiding them to the Premier League title last season, but it did not extend the expiry date beyond 2019. Reports of homesickness have raised doubts over the former Juventus and Italy coach’s potential longevity at Chelsea, with the club’s hierarchy this week linked with a move for former boss Carlo Ancelotti if Conte opts to depart prematurely. Conte has dismissed Chelsea’s hopes of catching runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City, in the midst of a 16-game winning run that has put them 11 points clear at the top, but suggested after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Southampton that bringing the fight to Pep Guardiola next term remains on his agenda....

The Nerazzurri suffered their first Serie A loss since the resumption of the season on Sunday when they conceded two late goals to be defeated 2-1 by Bologna. Conte’s side cannot afford many such slip-ups given leaders Juventus have an 11-point advantage over third-placed Inter, though Milan’s win over the reigning champions on Monday has given the chasing pack hope. Inter can cut that gap to eight points with seven to play and Conte wants to see a response....

At one point in time it was believed that Activision was working on a ton of Call of Duty-related projects that would exist outside of the first person shooter genre. While none of those games, most of which have been cancelled, saw the light of day, one has been revealed via a animator’s concept video. The game, which has been appropriately dubbed Call of Duty Tactics, was under development at Vicarious Visions, but was cancelled for one reason or another....

The Hungarian capital is providing 20,000 free tests to residents over 60 after many fully vaccinated people reported that they underwent tests that showed they had not developed antibodies to fight against COVID-19. These reports mostly came from people who received the Sinopharm vaccine, Budapest Deputy Mayor Ambrus Kiss said. He said this is a “genuine problem” that the government should work to solve. “If there is such a loss of confidence in certain vaccines, then the government needs to order a third dose and free up the capacities for giving them,” Kiss told The Associated Press....

The Confederations Cup is the Champions League of nations. A place where champions from every continent go head-to-head to test their mettle against the best from around the world. After winning the AFC Asian Cup 2011, Japan booked its place into the tournament for the fifth time. They reach the tournament by qualifying as the champions of Asia and also being the first team to secure qualification from the Asian Confederation to the World Cup 2014....

“We started to see Broncos money trickling in (Tuesday) night, and made our move to 5.5 at about 10 a.m. (PT) this morning,” Golden Nugget assistant sports book manager Aaron Kessler said Wednesday afternoon. “We also got played some sharp money on the Broncos money-line at -220.” The Nugget has a -230/+195 split on the money-line as of Wednesday afternoon. When most books initially posted Broncos -6.5 on Sunday night, the first wave of action came on the Patriots, including some large bets Kessler said he “didn’t necessarily consider sharp money”....

He was the one responsible for the fact that I had argued with my tuition teacher; he was the one for whom I had even blasted my fiancée and he was the very one from whom I had launched a verbal tirade against my best of pals. Some people term him as the God of the off-side while others call him a phoenix. Some take pride in his immense leadership capabilities; some say he is the most beloved son of Bengal....

Rose has been one of the most consistent performers in the world over the past year, recording 17 top-10 finishes, including four wins, in his past 22 tournaments. Only Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas are ahead of Rose in the world rankings, but the 37-year-old wants to be recognised as the best player on the planet with victories and not top-10 finishes. Rose believes his game is in good-enough shape to start doing that at Carnoustie and become England’s first Open winner since Nick Faldo in 1992....

The spin was as costly to Matt Kenseth as it was to McMurray. In the All-Star race, drivers were required to make a green-flag, minimum two-tire pit stop in the first two segments. Pushing the limit, Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing team found themselves unable to meet that requirement, instead heading to pit road for a stop under caution and then serving a one-lap penalty for failing to meet the requirement....

About 80 percent of manufacturers that create key ingredients for the domestic drug market are located outside the United States, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But for some drugs, China is the only supplier. At a congressional hearing on Tuesday, lawmakers expressed alarm, and sometimes disbelief, at the lack of oversight the FDA demonstrates over these foreign suppliers—despite the fact that U.S. drug firms are continuously outsourcing their manufacturing needs....

Late last month, Republicans attempted to pass several resolutions of inquiry (ROI)—questions to which it wanted answers—on various energy topics. One member demanded to know about the Biden administration’s use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to artificially tamp down gas prices. Another wanted to know what the administration planned to do about the power grid. Two questions pertained to White House speculation about declaring a national climate emergency. However, the Democrat-controlled committee rejected the ROI measures....

The FTC is the nation’s premier consumer-protection agency. Every year, it holds countless bad actors accountable for abuses committed against everyday Americans, ranging from identity theft and fraud to anticompetitive practices in violation of federal antitrust law. The agency has proven to be a particularly effective tool for holding Big Tech accountable for its many misdeeds. While the FTC can, and does, enforce the law through administrative proceedings, it often takes its claims against bad actors directly to court, which can provide quick and effective relief....

Washington has been struggling mightily to respond. The Federal Reserve is promiscuously extending credit to banks and Wall Street; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are boosting the size of mortgages they’ll buy; and the White House has orchestrated a voluntary industry effort to stave off the rising tide of foreclosures. Concerned that these extraordinary measures still aren’t sufficient, the president and Congress are now considering new moves to help the beleaguered industry, with the Senate set to vote tomorrow on a package of new tax breaks and assistance....
