The Bucs club boss indicated that under-fire caretaker coach Augusto Palacios should solve any issues which may exist within the team. “It’s easy to point fingers at Palacios because we are losing. You forget that he delivered us trophies when he came as a buffer,” Khoza stressed. “Palacios is a Professor. That’s why he must guide us. Complaining of things you should be controlling shows your shortcomings.” “You need to factor in different things when you release a player....

The 28-year-old made a move to Chloorkop last month, ending his nine-year stint at the Buccaneers, and he said he needed to grow as a player and the only way to achieve that was by starting afresh at a different club. “As a player you have to grow. I took the path of growing by coming here. I will grow as a player here because I know that I have to start afresh and fight for my place in the team,” Manyisa told the Sundowns website....

The best answer is probably not, in part because she was asymptomatic. But even if she had a longer or more severe course of disease, we still would have vaccinated her in November. Here’s why. First of all, the pandemic is getting worse again here in the United States. At the time of this writing, average daily cases in the U.S. are up by almost 50 percent over just 14 days, and hospitalizations and deaths are up by 22 percent and 40 percent, respectively....
Despite Kabila’s calls for more U.S. military and diplomatic involvement in Congo’s crisis, he and Kagame, whose own troops have been backing rebels in Congo, will most likely have to resolve it alone. A senior U.S. State Department official told NEWSWEEK that the United States is “not taking this one on,” but it will try to “herd the parties into carrying out the [Lusaka peace] accords.” If Kabila works on reconciliation at home–and if Kagame pulls out Rwanda’s troops in the manner he proposed to Powell–peace might break out after all....
DeJoy has recently come under scrutiny over changes that have slowed down mail deliveries and raised concerns about how the United States Postal Service (USPS) will handle the expected rise in mail-in ballots during November’s presidential election. Following outcry, DeJoy made assurances early last week he would suspend operational changes to the USPS until after the election “to avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail.” But according to an initial report by KREX, a brand new mail sorting machine was thrown out at a USPS Distribution Center in Grand Junction days after that pledge....

No, that wasn’t in some parallel universe. That was the U.N. General Assembly in November, 2001. Bush was speaking at a time when, as he put it, “many thousands still lie in a tomb of rubble.” It was a time when the president could cite one of the world’s leading Islamic scholars condemning those who attacked the United States. And it was a time when Bush himself launched a passionate defense of the U....

In a letter sent to the General Services Administration (GSA), tweeted by CIA analyst Gail Helt, the officials called on the agency to “promptly” name Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the President-elect and Vice President-elect via the Presidential Transition Act “The access provided by the Act is essential to ensure continuity of government from one administration to the next, and each day the Administrator delays is another day that the Biden team will be without critical information to prepare to combat the threats that the nation faces,” the letter said....
