Shin says every relief group encounters the same problem in North Korea. Regime officials demand more and more kickbacks from humanitarian agencies-and South Korea’s church groups are particularly easy marks. “Northerners know how to take advantage of zealous southerners,” Shin says. “But in some way both sides use each other.” That willingness to cut deals is making North Korea increasingly dependent on Christians from the peninsula’s southern end. While nongovernmental agencies like World Vision and Save the Children, fed up with the North’s rampant corruption and lack of transparency, have closed down or sharply reduced their activities there, South Koreans are racing into the void....
The United States 100 meters champion is alleged to have missed three drugs tests in the span of a year, which would constitute a breach of World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations.

He argued that Trump’s demon-possessed political opponents knew that the president is “delaying the spirit of antichrist.” “They’re trying to place hexes and curses on President Trump,” the religious leader said. “Satan hates this man.” “I have never, in any nation of the world … seen people raised up with demons in them [like] in Washington,” Stone said....
But man, does Pulisic play well when he is back at home. Mario Gotze was named Man of the Match after striking home the penalty that secured a 1-0 victory Friday for Dortmund over Manchester City in the first game of the 2018 International Champions Cup at Soldier Field, but it was Pulisic who earned that penalty with a move into the box that led to him being taken down by City left back Oleksandr Zinchenko....

The deception du jour involves “churning” – a contemptible tactic that guts the savings you build up inside a traditional whole life policy. Here’s how it works. An agent calls and says, “Hey, I know a way you can get more insurance for little or no cost. When you die, your loved ones will be better off.’ Sound good? You bet. But here’s the catch. The new policy actually does cost more – a lot more....
Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were declared winners of the presidential election on November 7, after the Associated Press, Fox News and other television networks called Nevada and Pennsylvania in their favor to push them past the 270 electoral votes needed to claim victory.

And still, for most of them, trying to compete with Power 5 conferences can be like living in one of those big houses in the ritzy neighborhood but lacking the cash to furnish every room. The Southeastern Conference paid its members $43 million for the 2018 fiscal year, most of that coming from its television contracts. The new AAC deal, which runs for 12 years, will pay members $7 million....
