A Connecticut jury ordered Jones on Wednesday to pay the families of eight Sandy Hook victims, as well as an FBI agent who responded to the shooting, a total of $965 million after spending years falsely claiming that the shooting, which killed 20 first-graders and six school administrators, was staged by “fake actors.” While the final damages were being read out loud in Connecticut, Jones, who has boycotted attending the trial in person since last week, livestreamed the verdict on Infowars and urged viewers to purchase products from his site to help “stand up against this travesty,” according to a clip shared to Twitter by The Recount....

The IOC and the organizing committee had originally planned to bar Olympians from taking their kids with them to Tokyo, as part of a series of measure aimed at limiting the influx of foreign nationals into Japan as the country seeks to control the coronavirus pandemic. The athletes’ families will not be allowed to travel to the Tokyo Olympics, which are scheduled to begin on July 23, and neither will foreign fans....

The Russian had been in the midst of a five-game goal slump, his longest of the season, but a home game against the reeling Montreal Canadiens provided a great opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Less than eight minutes into the first period, he took advantage and rifled a snapshot past Carey Price for his 699th career goal. Ovechkin has historically had the Habs’ number, with the goal on Thursday night being his 33rd career marker in just 50 games against Montreal....

The fan was 10-year-old Ann Schaab, who had the opportunity to meet Ovechkin during an American Special Hockey Association event held for kids with disabilities. While learning the game from her hockey crush, Schaab worked up the courage to ask Ovechkin on a date. Of course, Ovechkin obliged.

“The folks writing checks for a new Space Force are the same ones asking ‘how are you going to pay for’ public college or health care,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement on Twitter on Sunday. “This is the richest country in the world. Our problem isn’t a lack of money. It’s a lack of good priorities. And that is something we can change,” she said. Ocasio-Cortez’s criticisms came following similar comments made during a recent rally for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders....

While the literature is relatively scant, it’s important to also look at what happens when alkaline water enters the tightly regulated milieu of the body. We will take a look at studies to date, the regulation of acid-base balance in the body, and current investigation into the use of alkaline water and diets. What Is Alkaline Water? Alkaline water is simply water (H2O) that contains alkaline minerals. While regular tap water has a pH that is around 7....

Goldberg would leave WWE immediately following his WrestleMania 20 victory over Brock Lesnar, and wouldn’t be seen on WWE TV for the next 12 years. At this point, the WWE Universe had lost all hope in regards to a Goldberg return, but all that changed in late 2016. Since then, Goldberg has returned to WWE on five different occasions, targeting the same number of WWE Superstars in the process....

Celta’s Iago Aspas was denied by the woodwork in the 67th minute with a bullet strike from the heart of the area on a rain-soaked pitch at the Balaidos stadium. Alaves, the 2001 UEFA Cup finalists, who are attempting to reach the King’s Cup final for the first time, will host the second leg on Feb. 8. Three-times finalists Celta, who knocked out Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, dominated possession for most of the first half only for Alaves to create the first chance in the 40th minute....

As we had covered earlier, Alberto Del Rio revealed many explosive details about his past relationship with Paige. Del Rio also spoke about the recent sexual abuse charges that were leveled against him by another ex-girlfriend. Alberto Del Rio was charged with one count of aggravated kidnapping and four counts of sexual assault and was arrested back in May 2020. The charges were dropped by the unnamed woman in November last year....

Alcohol-based hand sanitizer was first banned in Irish prisons in 2014, but even with the spread of the novel coronavirus, the jails will continue to enforce the ban. According to TheJournal.ie, the 2014 ban came after three prisoners drank a mix of hand wash and prescription drugs at Limerick Prison. While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have urged people to use alcohol-based hand wash or hand sanitizers during the global coronavirus outbreak, a spokesman for the IPS told The Journal that the prisoners do not have access to this type of hand sanitizer for “security reasons....

There had been controversy because Jose Bautista, the star right fielder, had offered frank comments about what happened on the pop fly by Ben Zobrist that had dropped between him and Goins, but Bautista was insistent that in saying Goins had called for the catch, he was only giving an honest account. Bautista, a team leader, was accused of taking a player in his first full major league season and throwing him under the bus, hanging him out to dry, or whatever other phrase you wanted to turn....

The Infowars host uploaded a video in which he confronts a driver outside Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in the city of McAllen, Texas, while repeatedly accusing him of trafficking the migrant children he is transporting. At one point, Jones steps in front of the car to stop it from driving away after noticing the children do not have seatbelts in the back of the vehicle. “You are violating Texas law,” Jones yells....

The video has so far been viewed over 770,000 times on Twitter and was shared by commentator Ron Filipkowski on Monday following Jones’ show. “I declare this July 4, 2022, to be a declaration of independence against the alien force on this planet today,” Jones said. “[Aliens] are waging war against humans and their biology and our future. That is attempting to exterminate the majority of us and force the minority that is left to merge with AI computers and become cyborg slaves of Satan....

The U.S. Women’s national team (USWNT) have nevertheless managed to advance to the quarterfinals, despite only winning one of their three games in Group G. Tuesday July 27 saw the team, who won their fourth World Cup title back in 2019, have a goalless draw against Australia. And when the camera focussed in on star player Alex Morgan on the bench, her expression said it all. In the clip, which is being shared by Twitter users, Morgan can be seen shaking her head during the 88th minute of the match....

Another fan chimed in and reminded that Alexa was the first woman to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on the same night that she won it, a year before Bayley did the same. Bliss responded to this tweet as well and seemed to be taking a shot at WWE and The Four Horsewomen with her reply. She hinted that she is being overlooked by WWE because she is not a Horsewoman....

In 2019, the structure of the Davis Cup was changed for the first time in its 121-year history. The scoring was changed from best-of-five sets to best-of-three, and the number of matches in each tie was also reduced from five to three. Moreover, the home-and-away format was abandoned in favor of a ‘Finals’ week where 18 teams fight for the trophy at a common venue. Zverev has never been a fan of these changes, and on Monday he even claimed that the Davis Cup now is not very different from the ATP Cup....

Speaking to her followers on Instagram on Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez discussed immigration and decried the notion that the southern border is being invaded by migrants. “Anyone who’s using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously, is trying to invoke a militaristic frame. And that’s a problem,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This is not a ‘surge,’ these are children, they are not insurgents. And we are not being invaded. Which, by the way, is a white supremacist idea—the idea that if ‘an other’ is coming in the population, that this is like an invasion of who we are....

Ocastio-Cortez—who describes herself as a democratic socialist—has been at odds with moderates in her party since she defeated former Democratic Representative Joe Crowley in the 2018 primary midterms. Although the congresswoman backed Senator Bernie Sanders against Biden in the Democratic presidential primaries, she and fellow progressive Democrats rallied in support of President-elect Joe Biden as he campaigned against President Donald Trump. In a new interview published by The New York Times on Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez argued that campaigning by her progressive colleagues helped propel Biden to victory....

Ocasio-Cortez urged progressive Democrats and moderate liberals alike to organize their communities and “act in solidarity” ahead of the upcoming November elections. The freshman lawmaker, who is also seeking re-election, said there is no single politician who can help provide protection for America’s most vulnerable residents. But she said a vote for Biden and other Democrats will offer respite for minorities and low-wage workers who may not survive the attacks she says will come from another four years of the Trump administration....
