Being a sore loser disgraces the office of the president, but acting disgracefully is not illegal. After all, the president and the few remaining pundits who repeat his totally unsupported ideas can’t easily be punished for lying to the American people. But his lawyers in these promised lawsuits are different than politicians and pundits. As officers of the court, they swear oaths to present only cases that have a “basis in law and fact....

The plains where Bob Dole was born are so big that you can see things happen there, beautiful things – storms, clouds battling across a continent, vast changes in the light – while you are entirely alone. From this you learn to trust not confirmation and consensus but the simple truth. And when you have learned to do that, courage begins to come naturally, and soon it rolls in like the tide, and then it becomes the only way to live....

In fact, Pokemon games have been branching out in different ways in more recent years, such as with the mobile spinoff Pokemon GO and the MOBA Pokemon Unite. But one spinoff that some fans have been requesting is a Pokemon game in the same style as Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, meaning a farming and lifestyle simulator. Based on the expansions of the Pokemon franchise, the idea is actually plausible and would likely attract many fans....

Line can transform himself into different origami forms, like a paper airplane or a frog, to traverse the game’s levels and escape from enemies like giant spiders or the dreaded Roomba, with the ultimate goal of finishing a dream his original creator started. Fans of Playdead’s games Limbo and Inside may find something to like in A Tale of Paper’s side-scrolling 3D perspective and quiet, introspective tone, as well as some shared sensibilities with Little Nightmares and Sony’s own cult-favorite Tearaway....

But there are signs that as U.S. bombing continues, grass-roots support for the Taliban in Ghorbandarrah–and similar villages across Afghanistan, no doubt–is evaporating. “We are ready to help you. We are ready to kill the foreigner Taliban. There are 14 of us. Give us a sign,” reads a clumsily handwritten note from some villagers in Ghorbandarrah. The note was brought over the front lines by a village elder and handed to Mullah Beg, commander of one of the tiny hamlets that make up Sinjadarrah, two days after the start of the bombing....

Answer: Pretty darn swell. Dick Tracy is a class act: simple, stylish, sophisticated, sweet. This comic strip come to life is not like any other movie Warren Beatty has made, and yet his personality is stamped on every carefully considered frame. Whatever else he may be, he’s a man of considerable taste, a classical moviemaker with a respect for old-fashioned Hollywood craftsmanship; it’s the tension between Beatty’s innate, restraint as a filmmaker and the larger-than-life, primarycolor exuberance of the Dick Tracy legend that gives the movie its unique tone....

Yee, a Chinese-American West Point grad, worked as an Army chaplain at Camp Delta, the Guantanamo Bay prison where “enemy combatants” are held. A convert to Islam who studied in Syria and married a Syrian woman, he was arrested in September and accused of espionage. Officials said they found suspicious documents in Yee’s backpack, including information about detainees and two small notebooks containing handwritten “notes and diagrams.” Pentagon officials believed he might be part of a Gitmo spy ring that they thought was feeding classified information about prisoners to terrorist groups....

The subject of Tom Hayden as a student leader in SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] comes up. “I really like Tom,” says Rudd, between bites. “The only thing I don’t understand about Tom is how he could get divorced from Jane Fonda.” He laughs. The world may be no less in need of remaking than it ever was, but Rudd is apparently a lot quicker to see the humor in things these days....

Human beings are distressingly easy to kill – soft bodies crammed with vital organs, crisscrossed by blood vessels whose precious contents slosh back and forth under pressure enough to make them spurt. Cut an artery, and the heart will heedlessly pump blood out through the wound until it runs itself almost dry. Something like that is going on in the body on the gurney coming through the double doors of Cook County Hospital....

Most fantasy fans know about The Witcher and its iconic characters. It began as a popular fantasy book series by Andrzej Sapkowski and was made into a successful video game franchise by CD Projekt Red, which just confirmed that a fourth title is on the way. More recently, Netflix adapted the series into a TV show starring Henry Cavill, and it has crafted an animated film called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf as well as a spin-off series called The Witcher: Blood Origin....

“Right is right and wrong is wrong, and we were wrong,” he said of his and the players’ actions.

Judge, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, took 25 dry swings Monday in Oakland’s center-field cage before taking another 25 off the tee at what he called 100 percent effort. He said he felt good enough in recent days and without pain that the decision was made he would begin hitting again. “Just moving in the right direction. Definitely a big step,” Judge said, sitting in the Oakland Coliseum dugout....

Patty and Wayne Judge are often seen at Judge’s games and never miss a historic moment made by their son. In 2015, during an interview with The Post, Judge spoke highly of his parents, saying: In response to Judge’s statement, Patty replied: Judge is an adopted child. When he was 10 years old, Patty and Wayne told him about his adoption. Judge credited his mother for his early success and growth as a Yankee in a 2017 interview with MLB:...

Abandoned has had a rather long and twisty road of development since it was first announced. Hype was high at first, with rumors that the game had some kind of greater connection to Silent Hill or Hideo Kojima, though those theories have since been debunked. Then came the announcement that the Blue Box Game Studios had officially delayed its release following controversy surrounding its PS5 app. RELATED: Abandoned’s PS5 Teaser Underwhelms, Gets Ridiculed...

The Electric Reliability Commission controls 90 percent of the state’s power, reported KXAN. The letter directed ERCOT to make significant changes to the way the power grids are operated. Abbott stated, “These strategies, combined with the enhanced enforcement tools provided by the Texas Legislature, will ensure greater stability and reliability of the Texas electric grid....

A shocking incident took place in the German capital a few days ago, one in which Pande was forced to beg and borrow to support her stay while representing India at the swimming championships in the city. The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) had neglected bearing expenses for the athletes who were forced to take loans in order to make ends meet. Despite this, Kanchanmala won silver at the event and qualified for the World Championships....
