The United States has spent the last two weeks building belief. Now comes the part of the World Cup where belief no longer matters.
It’s been more than two weeks since the World Cup started, and Leon Goretzka still is getting familiar with the landscape. A hilarious video emerged Saturday afternoon of Germany’s midfielder accidentally walking onto the wrong bus. Goretzka was spotted accidentally walking into the Ecuador team bus instead of the Germany team bus. As Goretzka entered...
The potential heir to Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat broke his silence about two awkward confrontations with pro-Palestinian protesters unhappy about his record on Israel.
Maybe that will calm some of the nerves of England’s jittery fanbase, hoping to see the Three Lions win a World Cup for the first time in 60 years.

“The pungent odor of Kristi Noem lingers in Washington.”Those are the opening words of longtime conservative columnist George Will, whose column in the Washington Post hammered the 6-3 Supreme Court majority for wrongly dismantling the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program depended upon by hundreds of thousands of immigrants.According to Will, the conservative majority deliberately ignored overwhelming evidence that Kristi Noem's actions were driven by racial "animus," and therefore "violated the pertinent law."As he pointed out, within three days of the former Department of Homeland Security head terminating TPS for Haitians and Syrians, which led to the court case that made its way to the nation's highest court, Noem publicly recommended "a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies" who "slaughter our heroes" and "suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars."He dryly added, "She [Noem] refrained from echoing Trump’s assertion about kitten-cooking Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. This marks her as a MAGA moderate. JD Vance spread the pet-eating fiction because he said creating 'stories' (his word) makes the media notice Americans’ suffering.""Surely justices are not required to ignore such rhetoric? And although thoughtful people disagree about whether, or how much, justices should consider the downstream consequences of their rulings," he suggested.Expressing his disappointment with the conservative-majority court, he offered, "Time and freshening breezes will cleanse Washington, dissipating the legacies of appointees like Noem, and of the president who chose them. The court’s mistaken ruling she provoked will be more lasting."
