“I’ve got five years left and you look at all the great athletes who have done mixed martial arts — ‘Rampage’ [Jackson], Shogun Rua, Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, the list goes on — they started in Japan and finished in North America,” began Johnson, speaking with Sporting News late last week. “But it’s very rare that you see legit mixed martial artists leave the North American audience and go over to the Eastern audience and that’s what I’m doing and I’m really looking forward to it....

Fifty-one seats are needed to form a Senate majority and Democrats have so far won 48 races compared to 49 for Republicans—but those two crucial races appear to be trending in Democrats’ favor. In Arizona, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly led Republican Blake Masters by 51.7 percent to the GOP candidate’s 46.1 percent with 82 percent of votes counted, while Libertarian candidate Marc Victor had won 2.1 percent of the vote....

The 77 democrats, who signed the Wednesday letter urging Biden to reverse Title 42 and to drop the transit ban rule, include Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Representative Greg Casar of Texas. “We urge the Biden Administration to engage quickly and meaningfully with members of Congress to find ways to adequately address migration to our southern border that do not include violating asylum law and our international obligations,” the Democrats said in their letter to Biden....

In March 2020, Trump claimed that changes like the ones Democrats made in Virginia would make it so “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.” The former president and his GOP allies have also pointed to similar election changes in states across the country, falsely claiming these reforms helped Democrats “rig” the 2020 election. Virginia’s election results this past week serve to counter those assessments. The Virginia General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, passed multiple pieces of voter legislation that made it easier for Virginians to vote....

It seems Democrats would much rather look backwards than focus on the future. Democrats attack potential Republican candidates as tainted for working for Trump (e.g., Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley), being enabled by Trump (e.g., Governors Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin), or not denouncing him (e.g., Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Tom Cotton). Even Republicans willing to risk political suicide by denouncing their party’s recent leader and most popular figure can never do so vociferously and constantly enough to appease Democrats....

There are intended ways to mitigate the game’s challenge, or at least better equip players for it. Naturally, learning the ins and outs of its combat, enemies, and stage hazards is the chief way to get through it, but players also have the option to spend the souls they gain from fallen enemies to level up different stats, which provides health and stamina boosts and other beneficial enhancements. The problem there is it can take a long time to gain enough souls to get the most out of each of Demon’s Souls’s different character classes....

Cousins decided he would pick the best tweets endorsing him with the hashtag, print them out and sign them. A few of the tweets he signed. Cousins was clearly loving the moment.

Urban Dictionary defines the phrase, “To abstain oneself from all of the drugs,” with the exception “of marijuana and psychedelics,” which appears to be the way many California sober people use the term. One of the first, in-depth stories on the California sober lifestyle came from Michelle Lhooq in a 2019 Vice article. In short, the California sober mindset accepts the use of drugs like marijuana and psychedelics (shrooms and LSD to name a few), while cutting out narcotics, opiates and alcohol....

Polling averages show Kelly, a first-time political candidate, ahead by nearly 12 points.

Democrats and a tiny cohort of their Never-Trump former (or soon to be former) Republican allies hope the day will live forever in the American memory. As far as they are concerned, every day since then has been Jan. 6. They have never stopped talking about it and the perfidy not only of the rioters but also of former president Donald Trump and, by extension, everyone who supported him. Almost all Americans felt outraged at the appalling spectacle of a mob breaking into the Capitol....

That is how much Democrat Dr. Cameron Webb, is trailing Republican Bob Good, a self-described “biblical conservative,” for Virginia’s open 5th Congressional District, according to an internal Democratic poll provided to Newsweek. The survey suggests that the district, currently held by Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump but was ousted by his party during a June nominating convention after he officiated a same-sex wedding, is becoming increasingly in play for Democrats....

Control of the Senate shifted over to a 50-50 party split on Wednesday as Democratic Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were both sworn in as the 49th and 50th Democratic senators, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris as the deciding vote should the chambers’ votes ever end in a tie. Also sworn in on Wednesday was Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California.

Norman Eisen, a former White House official and ambassador, who was a lawyer for house judiciary committee chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler during the impeachment process, wrote that among articles being considered were claims Trump illegally diverted money for his border wall, profited from his presidency and obstructed the investigation into claims Russia interfered in the 2016 election. However, House Democratic leaders rejected the other articles, thinking that it would be seen as going too far and risk losing them votes among Democrat lawmakers, the book A Case for the American People says....
