Greene, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump who was elected to represent Georgia’s 14th Congressional District in November, has long been associated with far-right pro-Trump conspiracy theories like QAnon and Pizzagate. May 2018 Facebook comments from Greene, surfaced by watchdog group Media Matters for America, appear to show her approval of a particularly outrageous conspiracy known as “Frazzledrip.” The evidence-free conspiracy alleges that an underground video shows Clinton and her long-serving aide Huma Abedin taking part in a Satanic ritual that included murdering a young girl by “filleting” her face off and drinking her blood....

Matthew Sheffield, a journalist who has long covered conservative issues, tweeted on Friday that Republican voters should not be characterized as horrible people. Rather, he argued, they’re misled, and liberal media outlets mocking them only amplifies the tense mood of the country. Cuban shared Sheffield’s post today while seconding the opinion. Sheffield wrote that “tens of millions of people who vote Republican are not deplorable. They are misled. And the mocking and tribalistic coverage that lefty media often engage in only makes things worse....

The biggest moves from Wednesday’s Liga MX Draft...

We’re only a few days away from Christmas and it is important to me to explain what it means to the large PSG family. In our locker room, we have great players and great personalities, but first and foremost they are good people, with whom we laugh and play, on the field, at training and even outside football. You can see that in the club’s videos, on our social networks and even during our day at Disneyland Paris....

We’ve found out why Marshawn Lynch, mythical and legendary as ever, was in Scotland popping dangerous wheelies on a bike a couple weeks ago. MORE: All-time greatest Seahawks The retired Seahawks running back was there to spread his Skittles love with a Scottish Lowlands village called Houston and ask them what they felt about Super Bowl 51 being played there next Sunday. The only problem is, you know, the game is in Houston, Texas, United States, and not Houston, Renfrewshire, United Kingdom....

But with the Patriots lined up in a goal-line formation, Russell Wilson in a shotgun set instead looked to one of his three wide receivers against man coverage. You know the rest. But was Lynch, maybe the toughest back in the league to stop in such a situation, surprised he didn’t get the ball? MORE: Payday coming for Beast Mode? | Must-see Super Bowl images | Game ends with brawl...

Martha faces long odds on transforming a felony conviction into a teachable moment. But she intends to ask U.S. District Judge Miriam Cedarbaum to shorten her jail time so she can work up to 1,000 hours at WVF. Last week Otero wrote a three-page letter explaining how Martha would be a boon to the women seeking to follow her example in business (if not in stock trading). Her lawyers are expected to forward that letter to the judge soon....

John Small is the editor of SaveMartha.com, a Web site launched in early July as a forum for Martha Stewart fans to rally, commiserate and rail against media coverage. The 40-year-old Small believes that in this age of corporate hemorrhaging, the case against Stewart is nothing compared to the Enron and WorldCom scandals....

In conjunction with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Scott said he recently held constituent focus groups on topics like generational wealth would refocus a fraught national conversation on race. But he also took the opportunity to criticize Biden’s recent speeches on voting rights. Last week in Atlanta, Biden likened the wrongs of 1960s-era civil rights battles to modern-day election subversion efforts, including GOP-backed laws passed after President Donald Trump lost reelection in 2020 - something Scott claims is “misleading”....

He became despised after hiking the price of AIDS drug Daraprim nearly 5,000 percent in August 2015. Christie Smythe, who upended her life to be with Shkreli, has defended him to the world, declaring that the so-called Pharma Bro is “not a psychopath.” Former Bloomberg journalist Smythe, 38, opened up about her relationship with the convicted fraudster in a piece for Elle magazine that was published Sunday night and immediately caused a huge stir online....

Most of the biggest moves, like Pachuca’s Rodolfo Pizarro going to Chivas with Victor Guzman heading the other way, already had been announced. In other previously confirmed deals, Santos Laguna is sending Agustin Marchesin to Club America, with defender Ventura Alvarado among those heading to Santos, and Carlos “Gullit” Pena is returning to Leon.

In a tweet Tuesday, Mary Trump called out the “very small number of Republicans who are (very mildly) criticizing Donald” for the controversial meeting, and wrote that many “are, for the most part, refusing to name him and leaving out the fact that Donald is also a white supremacist and anti-Semite.” “Looking at you, Mitch,” she added, referring to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky. Last week, Donald Trump hosted Fuentes alongside rapper Kanye West, who has made his own string of antisemitic comments in recent weeks, at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida....

Maryland-National Capital Park Police identified three potential victims, depicted in the video, who had been walking along the Capital Crescent Trail just outside Washington, D.C., on Monday posting flyers in support of protests following the death of George Floyd.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan called for tougher hate crime laws at either the federal or state level amid numerous attacks against Asian Americans. During an interview with the civic media organization A Starting Point (ASP), Hogan spoke about hate crimes against Asian Americans and was asked if he believes that the federal government or state leaders should increase the penalty for hate crimes. “I think one is raising awareness, two is getting more support for the Asian community, three; increasing patrols and prosecutions of existing laws and then perhaps there’s a need to strengthen laws at either the federal level or some state levels where they don’t have the same protections that we do here in our state,” Hogan said in response....
