His right cheek was bleeding, but he was able to get to his feet and walk off the field on his own power. The team announced his injury as a facial contusion. He was replaced...

What Virginia’s upcoming primary elections will tell us about national political trends

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:59:09 GMT

Next year’s presidential election is already getting a lot of attention, but there are more immediate political contests in Virginia, where the balance of power in the General Assembly will soon be at stake.Tuesday’s primaries will provide an indication of which way Democratic and Republican voters are leaning as they prepare to elect all 140 members of the General Assembly in November.Virginia will receive outsized attention this year as a possible political bellwether since it is one of only a handful of states with legislative elections in 2023.And while cable television and talk radio are dominated by discussion of national political trends, they begin at the state level.In recent years, an increasing number of state legislatures have become supermajorities, where they wield enormous power because even the governor of an opposing party can’t veto legislation.More than half of states, 28, now have supermajorities. Nineteen are controlled by Republicans, while ni...

Dustin Johnson makes a crazy 8 at the US Open but crawls back into contention

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:59:09 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dustin Johnson’s summary of the quadruple bogey he made that could be the difference between winning and losing the U.S. Open was succinct, matter-of-fact and, of course, ugly.“Chunked my bunker shot and then chunked the next one. Skulled the next one,” he said. “Everything that you could do wrong, I did wrong.”That 8 he took on the second hole Friday was as bad as it gets. The 4-under par he shot over the next 16 holes was a reason he could smile at least a little. Even with the snowman, Johnson shot an even-par 70 and finished the day at 6-under 134. That left him tied for fifth, four shots behind Rickie Fowler and grateful he didn’t let the four shots he lost on one single hole completely wreck his day.“I just tried to focus on, there were a lot of holes left,” Johnson said. “You just don’t try to push it. You know this course is tough, but if you can drive it in the fairway, be aggressive when you can, you can have some shots at birdie.”Johns...
