The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution states only that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” but does not stipulate that those two terms must be held consecutively. This means that, according to the law, if the president loses after his first four-year term, he would theoretically be able to run for office again. It’s even been done before, with President Grover Cleveland....
One of the biggest signs of a campaign’s runaway success is when the candidate can be understated in victory and encouraged by defeat. Another is when his target shifts from his party rivals to his ultimate opponent: George W. Bush. Kerry may be a long way from securing his party’s nomination, but he’s already gunning for November’s fight against the president. He dropped almost any hint that he was running against other Democrats as he campaigned early this week, directing his standout lines entirely towards President Bush....
An estimated 47% of adults in the United States have high blood pressure (hypertension) and many people take medication for the condition. Sometimes referred to as the “silent killer,” there are usually few, if any, symptoms of high blood pressure. But if it is left untreated, it can increase the risk of heart disease or stroke. Excessive daytime sleepiness or tiredness is a symptom sometimes associated with high blood pressure, and it has been shown to be a potential warning sign for cardiac events....
As the virus first came to the attention of experts late last year, much is still unknown about its characteristics. But the data on cases we have so far shows that while most people who catch the new coronavirus will develop mild symptoms, “older people, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease or diabetes) are at risk for severe disease,” the World Health Organization warns....
Political and economic uncertainties have afflicted the BJP government from the start, of course, crippling its ambitious plans to promote grass-roots development and social justice. Last week’s news, however, reinforced the perception that the government–like some of its short-lived predecessors–was simply unable to manage change at a time of profound transition in India. The transition is taking place on four levels: (1) A highly centralized federal system is now decentralizing, and the country’s 25 states are becoming more assertive....
At just 23-years-old he has won countless trophies and already scored 221 goals in more than 300 club games, and has 36 goals in 66 games for Les Bleus. His World Cup record is already staggering, he became the youngest French player to score at the 2018 World Cup at 19, and became the second teenager after Pele to score in a World Cup final. He repeated that scoring feat in the 2022 tournament when he netted twice in quick succession late on to level the match against Argentina in spectacular fashion, and then completed his hat-trick....
With the tournament only coming around once every four years, being fit at the right time is crucial for players hoping to guide their nation to ultimate glory. Football can be a cruel game though and injuries can strike at the worst times with players denied a dream and teams left scrambling to fill their void as a result. We are seeing more major injuries before and during this World Cup as it is crammed into the middle of the European club season....
One of the biggest changes is the kind of support Trump now enjoys from major national news channels and media that backed his ascent six years ago. Following the poor results of most of the Trump-endorsed candidates at the midterms—many of which underperformed compared to those who had not received the former president’s support—Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post blared a front page mocking Trump under the nickname of “Trumpty Dumpty” on November 10....
It takes two to stop shooting. Israel will most likely agree to do so, sometime over the coming weeks. That shifts the focus to Hizbullah. Will it withdraw, if only to save its fire for another day? If so, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and European leaders, who kicked off what promise to be long and difficult negotiations today in Rome, might eventually be able to win a ceasefire and cobble together a peacekeeping force for southern Lebanon....
It means an increased number of people will be eligible for a third shot of the Pfizer vaccine. Until now, additional shots were only for people with compromised immune systems. However, the new booster shots will only be made available to people who have had the Pfizer vaccine, an FDA spokesperson told Newsweek. Otherwise, people would be mixing the vaccines. The spokesperson said: “The authorization yesterday only applies to the Pfizer vaccine....
But the question is: can you spot where an Eastern Copperhead snake is hiding in this photo? Photographer Jeremy Ginn shared an image of the snake on the Rare Encounters Photography Facebook page on December 29, where he asked people if they could spot the serpent. He told Newsweek: “This is an Eastern Copperhead, and it’s a venomous pit viper. Though venomous, bites are rarely fatal. It ranges in much of the Eastern U....
Entering the game, Canada was earmarked for a win. After all, the team had only allowed four goals through six games and was coming off back-to-back shutouts. But when the final buzzer sounded it was the Americans, instead, with a 2-0 win. MVP Trevor Zegras played a key role with a goal and an assist on Alex Turcotte’s opener. The Ducks prospect backed up what he said pregame to NHL Network’s Jill Savage....
Upon leaving, Sinclair intends to focus on Indigenous law mentorship and his memoir, tentatively entitled Who We Are. “I am not going to disappear,” Sinclair said in an exclusive interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail. “I am going to continue to exercise influence where I can. I will continue to respond to the public … dialogue going on.” In terms of his memoir, Sinclair certainly has a lot of history to mine....
Jason Kenney, premier of the southwestern province of Alberta, said this week that his country could not accept China’s initial handling of the virus before it became a worldwide plague. Kenney made his remarks during a virtual roundtable last week with the Canadian American Business Council. “I do not think we should just forget this and walk past it,” Kenney said. “There must be some kind of a reckoning. There must be some accountability....
The “scavenger hunt” was created as an internal activity for Durham Region municipal staff, in an effort to engage them to learn about Black history and culture. (The Regional Municipality of Durham, also commonly called the Region of Durham or Durham Region, is located about 80 miles east of Toronto.) Desmond Cole, an activist, journalist and the bestselling author of The Skin We’re In: A Year of Resistance and Power, was the first to share an image of the “scavenger hunt....
In a press conference on Friday, Ford said that the original protest can no longer be considered a protest due to its blockage of the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, with Windsor, Ontario. He also said that protesters who do not leave on their own will be fined $100,000 and could face up to a year in prison. “We’re now two weeks into the siege of the city of Ottawa,” he said....
Canadian duty fees on U.S. purchases range upwards from 6 percent, depending on where you cross the border, and evading payment is illegal. But Canadian shoppers seem OK with risking time in the slammer to save money. “We see the clothes left in the dressing room and we’re not going to speculate about anything illegal, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what’s going on,” says James Schlesinger, CEO of Talisman Cos....
“To do it in front of our fans and our families, it’s so special, special, I never thought I would ever experience this in my life. It’s unbelievable,” Victor Hedman said during an on-ice interview. When the Lightning won their last Cup 282 days ago, they did it in the Edmonton bubble. On July 7, in a clinically dominating game, they shut the Canadiens out, 1-0, in front of a packed Amalie Arena in Tampa....
They added veteran voices. They bolstered the lineup. They added depth. But in the end, it was the same old Maple Leafs. For the third straight year, Toronto was sent packing in a decisive game as the Canadiens skated away with a 3-1 win in Game 7. After a first period that saw both teams play safe, the Canadiens broke out in the middle frame. Eric Staal poked the puck away from a rushing Mitchell Marner at the Montreal blue line, leading to Gallagher going the other way....
