The U.S. evacuated embassy personnel in Kabul by helicopter on Sunday as Taliban fighters advanced on Afghanistan’s capital. Just four days ago, U.S. defence officials had estimated that it would take Taliban insurgents 30 days to isolate Kabul and possibly under 90 days to take it over. “Chinese netizens joked that the power transition in Afghanistan is even more smooth than presidential transition in the US,” tweeted Hu Xijin, who heads the Chinese Communist Party’s Global Times....

The campaign that Canady (who has since left the House for the federal bench) & Co. launched has sparked one of the fiercest fights since Roe v. Wade. “This is about ending legal abortion,” says NARAL Pro-Choice America president Kate Michelman, who worries it’s an attempt to ban the procedure one method at a time. Still, the bill was twice passed by the full Congress and twice vetoed by President Bill Clinton....

If you already have CAD, you may wonder what type of diet would support your heart health. Which foods should you choose (or avoid) if you’ve had a myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, acute coronary syndrome, or angina? Until recently, research on diet and CAD wasn’t that strong. Therefore, the dietary recommendations for people with CAD have not always been clear. There is one popular eating pattern that addresses all of these recommendations: the Mediterranean diet....

However, there are certain cases where chronic pain can also benefit from ice, such as after physical activity. This article will explain how to decide when to use ice and heat (or both) for an injury. Ice Treatment Ice treatment is most commonly used for acute injuries to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation....

All Cleansers Are Not the Same While there are different tools for face washing, most people use some type of soap. Even though some facial and body cleansers are made of most of the same ingredients, there are significant differences. Facial cleansers are milder on the skin because the surfactant they contain is milder than that of body cleansers. Some liquid body cleansers even have a harsher than usual surfactant, which manufacturers make up for by adding a good, but heavy, moisturizing system....

Chorea is considered a symptom of disease, and not an independent condition. It is generally one of several symptoms, and it rarely occurs on its own. If you have chorea, you will need a thorough medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause. Chorea can often be managed with medication, and the underlying cause usually needs to be treated as well. Chorea Symptoms You can have a number of movement patterns with chorea....

In the clip we don’t get to witness the actual DJing but we do realize that Bosh is not funny. Ellen DeGeneres can usually make anyone funny and she tries her best to bring it out of Bosh here, but something just isn’t clicking for him. It’s a curious case because he seems to be funny while his fellow Miami Heat players are doing a post game interview, but here he has no such comedic timing....

Jericho looked like he was in control until a stiff high kick stopped him right in his tracks. Owens established control with a cannon ball, followed soon after by another one on the apron. Owens continued to rag-doll Jericho and eventually got him into a headlock. A kick to the chest and a running Senton gave Owens complete control as he continued to humiliate the Champ, until Jericho connected with a dropkick out of nowhere....

Earlier this week, the cast of Don’t Worry Darling arrived in Italy for the 2022 Venice International Film Festival for the world premiere. As the cast arrived, there was talks of behind-the-scenes feuds between Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde, with Harry Styles dragged into the alleged tense exchanges too.

But with Armenia forced to concede swathes of its ancestral homeland after Azerbaijan invaded and occupied the Republic of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh)—perpetrating a litany of war crimes and forcibly displacing 100,000 people—some of the world oldest monuments to Christianity face the very real threat of destruction. As Armenians—and Christians everywhere—now look for global leadership to preserve this living chapter of early Christian history, the United Nations has been notably absent....

While Spider-Man is officially part of the MCU, the character, many of the heroes he’s fought alongside, and enemies he’s fought against are actually owned by Sony. That’s led to several movies about those characters getting greenlit, including Kraven the Hunter. While there’s still some question over just how a movie centering on a character who has long been known as a bitter enemy of Peter Parker’s alter-ego is going to play out, it appears the anti-hero officially has a main antagonist....

The Law & Order star posed in a series of polaroid-style snaps for a feature with Interview Magazine and the thirst-trap nature of the shoot has delighted fans. The 60-year-old actor shows off his eccentric style and love of fitness in the photos, emphasizing his sex-symbol persona—and it has certainly gone down a treat with fans. When asked about his so-called “zaddy” image for the feature, Meloni embraced it, telling the publication: “I’ve been called that a lot, and who am I to argue with it?...

In the interview, Nolan answers questions from film and game fans alike about Tenet, such as how he chose between a multitude of possible endings and his opinion on how he attempts to structure the sound design for his films.

The former president was met with rapturous applause at the event after he criticized Democratic President Joe Biden’s first month in the White House, saying it was “the most disastrous” of “any president in modern history.” “Already the Biden Administration has proven that they are anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women and anti-science. In just one short month, we have gone from America First to America Last,” Trump said. Trump claimed that Biden has “triggered a massive flood of illegal immigration into our country, the likes of which we have never seen before....

The reigning MVP dazzled NFL fans with some big-time plays throughout 2018-19. But he showcased why he was once a top baseball prospect when he sent a ball over the wall at Kauffman Stadium during the Kansas City Royals’ Big Slick Celebrity Softball Game on Friday. Mahomes played baseball and football at Texas Tech but ultimately fully committed to the gridiron. His decision to become a quarterback, rather than a pitcher like his father who spent 11 seasons in MLB, appears to have panned out....
