The former vice president was met with chants of “drop out Joe” and a mock funeral for his campaign after he exited the event at New York’s Wayfarer restaurant on West 57th Street, which was attended by more than 250 financial donors. Biden, previously thought as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, has struggled so far with his campaign, finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses and fifth in last week’s New Hampshire primaries....

On Tuesday, at the Municipal Transit Utility in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Biden outlined his hopes to give tax breaks to ordinary families before dropping into a hushed tone. Leaning forward on the platform, Biden whispered: “Hey guys, I think it’s time to give ordinary people a tax break. The wealthy are doing fine,” as those gathered burst into applause. This vocal approach mimicked the one he employed last Thursday during a White House press conference, in which he gave whispered responses to reporters’ questions about the infrastructure plan....

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, when asked whether Garland should indict Trump, said that the administration would let him make the final decision, and that Biden would continue to support the work by the House panel investigating January 6. This comes even as Garland’s department is facing increasing pressure to prosecute Trump amid the ongoing hearings from the committee investigating the insurrection. “We agree all Americans should watch and remember the horrors of one of the darkest days in our history,” Jean-Pierre said of the hearings, with the first taking place last Thursday....

Of course, in the spirit of the Big Easy, things got bawdy. Burrow and Bayou Bengals backers were rocking to the LSU band’s rendition of the mid-’80s hit “Talkin’ Out The Side Of Your Neck,” or what’s better known in college football circles as just “Neck.” For those who know, that one obscene ad-lib line was heard loud and clear in the Superdome — and over ESPN’s airwaves. (That ad-lib was the reason the band stopped playing the song for a while....

But former Chelsea and England midfielder Joe Cole, who played for Mourinho, believes the manager has already achieved success in his first season in Manchester, with or without a trophy to add to the EFL Cup his team already has won. “Not only do I think he will be a success, he’s already a success,” Cole told Goal . “I’ve seen ex-players criticise him, but he’s already a success there....

Manchin signaled to CNN’s chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju that he’s open to considering a price tag between $1.9 trillion and $2.2 trillion—a figure President Joe Biden reportedly floated to the Democratic caucus last week. “I’m not ruling anything out,” Manchin told the news organization. The West Virginia Democrat declined to give an exact amount when asked what would be the highest he would go for the spending package. Manchin told Raju, “The bottom line is I want to be strategic, to do the right job, and we don’t basically add more to the concerns we have right now....

New York signed Joe Panik on Friday and added him to the active roster, days after he was released by the Giants. The Mets designated Adeiny Hechavarria for assignment to clear a roster spot for Panik. The 28-year-old infielder, a Yonkers, New York, native who played collegiately at St. John’s, won a World Series with the Giants in 2014 and made the All-Star team one year later. Panik, however, has regressed over the last two seasons and is slashing just ....

Speaking to comedian Neal Brennan on The Joe Rogan Experience, the host said he denied Carter’s requests to appear as a guest on the podcast. The 34-year-old brother of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter was found dead in a bathtub at his home in Lancaster, California, on November 5. A cause of death has not been established yet as a toxicology report could take months, but Carter was known to have addiction issues....

During a recent episode of his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan, 55, extensively discussed the revelation 45-year-old social media star Brian “Liver King” Johnson had used steroids to enhance his muscular physique. Amid his discussion with fitness entrepreneur Derek, of the More Plates, More Dates YouTube channel, Rogan asked whether Dwayne Johnson, 50, had used steroids, before stating: “The Rock should come clean right now.” “He should make a video in response to the Liver King video like, ‘I need to talk to you because The Rock’s been lying,’” Rogan went on....

In the two-minute clip from the podcast, Joe Rogan starts by saying he believes getting the vaccine is safe. Joe Rogan says, “Yeah, for the most part, I think it’s safe to get vaccinated. I do.” However, that was only the start of his rant about younger people taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Joe Rogan went further with the topic and discussed the current climate of the job market. Some jobs require employees to be vaccinated and that’s another problem that Joe Rogan sees in 2021....

“There are a lot of people that are afraid of talking about it. But they’re not afraid of voting about it. Because there’s a lot of people that are afraid of a reprisal. They’re afraid of getting attacked and they’ll silently, when they’re amongst friends, go ‘What the f*** is going on? Like, what is going on?’ And those people, that’s what’s going to be responsible for the red wave,” Rogan said on the October 31 edition of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Spotify....

Five years ago in 2010, Indian master-blaster Virender Sehwag plundered 13 scores of 50 or more in a calendar year to topple the legendary West Indian maestro Sir Viv Richards’ record and now Root has done the same in 2015. The Englishman has made 1372 runs at 62.36 in 2015 and has overtaken Alastair Cook as England’s top run-scorer this year.

The host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe called President Trump’s trade-war aid payments to farmers “the biggest Socialist farm payoff scheme ever” in a tweet Monday, responding to details from a Bloomberg article reporting on trade-war aid payments to farmers. He also dubbed the government under Trump as the most “bloated” and “expensive” ever and hit out at tariff hikes resulting from the U.S-China trade war.

Following Brooklyn’s comeback win over Portland on Friday, Nets star forward Kevin Durant, and former MVP recipient, was asked who he thinks is going to win the award this season. “If I had to take a guess, I would go Joel Embiid, DeMar DeRozan, Ja Morant,” Durant said. “Those are my top three, and I’d probably go Joel [Embiid]. I mean, [Nikola] Jokic, you could throw Jokic in there, but I’d probably go Joel....

Prosecutors said Greenberg connected with the girl on a website where she said she was an adult.

Marlene’s death was meant to be the final act of violence by Joel’s hands, the severing of his past life as a smuggler. Ellie became his new “something to fight for,” a reason to keep surviving. What he didn’t realize was that he was right, just not how he imagined it. Marlene’s death at the hands of Joel wasn’t the clean break that Joel assumed it was. His life of violence had caught up to him with The Last of Us Part 2, and while it wasn’t Marlene who came back, Joel’s actions at the end of the first game instead became the pinnacle of violence....
