He and three others spoke to NEWSWEEK last month in Pinar del Rio, 125 miles west of Havana. Six other patients at a sanitarium there appear with Delgado on a video recently smuggled out of Cuba, saying that they, too, voluntarily received the AIDS virus.

While speaking to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, he said that the line of Trump supporters starts behind him. This statement comes despite Christie previously criticizing Trump over comments saying the election was stolen.

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalists Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker make the claim in their book, I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year. Christie, a Republican who led New Jersey from 2010 to 2018, was a close ally of Trump during his first presidential campaign and his time in the White House, endorsing him in February, 2016. According to Leonnig and Rucker’s book, Christie thought a “thank you” tour in 2020 could surprise the public and then Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden....

“Yes, the president sent out a negative statement about me last week after my Republican Jewish coalition speech, and look at me. I"m still standing alive and on your program,” Christie told CNN’s Jim Sciutto. “This is not a death sentence for anybody.

The Seahawks also lost one of their loudest fans Thursday. There was no doubt that Cornell was the coolest among those fans. Macklemore was the face of the team’s Super Bowl XLVIII-winning run in 2014, but Cornell was the true voice. The Seahawks have plenty of other famous musical faithful, including Heart’s Ann Wilson, Guns ‘N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan and Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell, another grunge legend. Then consider actors Chris Pratt, Joel McHale and Rainn Wilson are all megafans, too....

Cuomo suggested on Monday evening that the president’s call to restore Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher to the rank of Chief Petty Officer, after he was found guilty of misconduct for posing for photos with the body of a captured member of militant group Islamic State, was indicative of Trump’s belief that he can “get away with anything.” “The law and order president who promised to end the carnage has ignored the law, ignored due process, attacked the justice system, not out of any grand principle, just to protect himself....

United States forward Chris Wondolowski had his chance in stoppage time, with an open net, to shock the world and send Belgium packing. This is what happened.

The Christian pastor and his wife Elizabeth lead the Restore 7 ministry based in Tennessee. Enlow has repeatedly pushed baseless conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was “stolen” or “rigged” by Democrats and President Joe Biden, as has Trump.

Ponder and his wife Samantha (formerly Samantha Steele), an ESPN reporter, recently had a baby girl. Judging by the child’s name, it seems Bowden had quite the impact on Ponder’s life. We assume the name Frazier Sainte-Claire was not under consideration.

The Raiders plan to cut or trade Ponder on Saturday. The report cited an unnamed source.
