Top-ranked Iga Swiatek will host a charity tennis event next month in her home country of Poland to raise funds for children and teenagers impacted by the war in Ukraine. The event in Krakow on July 23 will feature a mixed doubles exhibition match and Ukraine soccer great Andriy Shevchenko will be a special guest. “I hope that we can see each other in large numbers in TAURON Arena Krakow and in front of the television to show the strength of sport when it unites us in helping and gives us at least a little joy," Swiatek said on her social media accounts. Elina Svitolina of Ukraine will serve as umpire for the event. They hope to sell at least 10,000 tickets. “Total proceeds from the event will be donated to the support of children and teenagers affected by the war in Ukraine,” Swiatek said. The 21-year-old Swiatek has been wearing a pin with the Ukrainian colors during her matches. She has a second-round match scheduled for June 30 at Wimbledon. More than 4 million refugees crossed into Poland after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Poland is providing them with free shelter, social and medical care, education and job opportunities. The All England Club banned players from Russia and Belarus from competing this year at Wimbledon because of the war. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

We can’t wait to fellowship, sing Psalms, and celebrate God’s goodness in Knoxville October 6-8. So, here’s what you may have missed over the weekend: https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/twitter-lawyers-sue-elon-musk-broken-deal-report Twitter lawyers up to sue Elon Musk over broken buyout deal: Twitter has retained the services of a heavyweight merger law firm to sue Tesla CEO Elon Musk for moving to drop his $44 billion takeover of the company, according to a report. The company has hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP to represent it in a forthcoming suit, Bloomberg reported Sunday. Bloomberg cited sources who declined to be identified due to the private nature of the matter. A law firm representing the Tesla CEO sent a letter to Twitter on Friday, alleging that it appears "to have made false and misleading representations" when Musk agreed to buy the company on April 25 and has "breached" multiple provisions of the initial agreement. Musk's team has raised concerns with "spam bots" on the platform, and the Tesla CEO has threatened to walk away from the deal if the company fails to show that less than 5% of its daily active users are automated spam accounts. Musk has argued that Twitter significantly underestimated the number of these "spam bots" on its service. Last month, Twitter offered Musk access to its "firehose" of raw data on hundreds of millions of daily tweets, according to multiple reports at the time, though neither the company nor Musk confirmed this. Twitter said it removes 1 million spam accounts each day in a call with executives Thursday during a briefing that aimed to shed more light on the company's fake and bot accounts. Twitter said on the call that the spam accounts represent well below 5% of its active user base each quarter. Private data, which isn't available publicly and thus not in the data "firehose" that was given to Musk, includes IP addresses, phone numbers and location. Twitter said such private data helps avoid misidentifying real accounts as spam. Neither SpaceX nor Tesla nor Twitter immediately responded to FOX Business' request for comment Sunday. A receptionist for Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz declined to confirm or deny the report. More from our booming economy: https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/us-postal-service-rate-increases-takes-effect-sunday US Postal Service rate increases takes effect Sunday The next time you mail through the United States Postal Service (USPS), it's going to cost you extra. The USPS' rate hike, upping First-Class Mail prices by 6.5%, took effect Sunday, according to the agency. When the USPS made its announcement in April it noted that the 6.5% increase would still be below inflation, which is sitting at a rate of 8.6%. However, this likely won't be the last increase from the USPS. In May, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Americans should get used to "uncomfortable" postage rate increases in coming years as the U.S. Postal Service seeks to become self-sufficient. The Postal Service Board of Governors sets postage rates, but DeJoy said he’ll advocate for raising prices until "we have accomplished our objective of projecting a trajectory that shows us being self-sustaining." That objective is laid out in the USPS' 10-year plan, Delivering for America. As part of this plan, the USPS is working to break even by the fiscal year 2023 and avoid $160 billion in projected losses over the next 10 years. The price adjustments taking effect Sunday "will help with the implementation of the Delivering for America plan, including a $40 billion investment in core Postal Service infrastructure over the next ten years," according to the USPS. https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2022/07/11/world-economic-forum-says-democracy-is-dying-ditch-fossil-fuels-and-save-it/ World Economic Forum: Gas Prices Must Go Even Higher — to Save Democracy The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one – “climate change” and the “decline of democracy.” The WEF paper argues for the past 15 years, democracy has been in decline worldwide. To protect and promote freedom, “leading democracies must strengthen their economies and safeguard liberty.” It goes on to say ignoring progress toward a “low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less” while repeating the broader demand of environmental activists for companies to stop investing fossil fuels. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed focus on this economic weakness, the WEF says. What is the answer for the U.S. and Europe? Pricing the alternatives to green energy out of the market. It says: First, leading democracies should agree to end the underpricing of fossil fuels, which is the principal factor preventing a clean energy transition. The underpricing associated with producing and burning coal, oil and gas amounted to $5.9 trillion in economic costs in 2020. Nearly a quarter of these losses – $1.45 trillion – occurred in 48 major and smaller democracies. The leading democracies of the G20 should collectively commit to phasing out cost and tax breaks for the production and consumption of fossil fuels. They should also phase in more efficient pricing of fossil fuels through taxes or tradable permits to cover the costs of local air pollution, global warming, and other economic damages. The paper goes on to argue that compliance can and must be enforced. Taxes can be imposed on carbon-intensive imports to reduce the risk of unfair competition for their domestic industries “and to deter companies from relocating overseas to avoid compliance at home.” Doesn’t that just scream democracy? Forcing other economies to reform their under-pricing of fossil fuels to avoid the penalties imposed by the policy should also be actively pursued, according to the WEF, with U.S. President Joe Biden already committed to punishing the fossil fuel industry out of existence. The paper concludes that by delaying a clean energy transition, “leading democracies are making their economies more vulnerable through continued reliance on fossil fuels.” Collectively acting to foster a green transition “is not only good for the climate but also critical for protecting democracy,” ……… that’s the conclusion of the paper… Gold River Trading Co.

That means the league will not mandate that players wear masks, participate in contact tracing, wear bracelets, or otherwise partake in any of the standard Covid protocols the league has had in place since 2020. The NFL did, however, leave open the possibility of reinstating Covid protocols should the need arise. “Should there be a reason to reimpose aspects of the protocols or to take other measures, we will work closely with clubs, the NFLPA and our respective experts, and local, state and federal public health officials to continue to safeguard the health of the NFL community,” the memo to all teams stated. While the league will not place players or coaches under any restrictions, all employees of the 32 league franchises are expected to conform to whatever coronavirus safeguards local authorities have put in place. The NFL and NFLPA agreed to end the league’s coronavirus testing regimen in March.

Esta foi a sétima conquista de Djokovic na grama do All England Club, igualando o britânico William Renshaw e o norte-americano Pete Sampras como segundo maior vencedor do torneio, atrás apenas das oito conquistas do suíço Roger Federer. O sérvio tem um retrospecto quase impecável em finais no torneio, perdendo apenas uma das oito que disputou, em 2013 para o tenista da casa Andy Murray.

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has failed to claim a maiden grand slam title, losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final overnight. After a tournament marked by controversy on and off the Court, the Australian was overwhelmed by his Serbian opponent in four sets.

Sérvio bate Nick Kyrgios, de virada, por 3 a 1, chega ao sétimo título no All England Club e se torna o segundo maior vencedor da história do torneio inglês, ao lado de Pete Sampras e atrás apenas de Roger Federer. Quarta conquista seguida em Wimbledon deixa novamente Djokovic a um título de Rafael Nadal como o maior vencedor de Grand Slams em todos os tempos. Eusebio Resende, Narck Rodrigues e Ricardo Bernardes analisam a vitória do cabeça de chave nº1 e projetam a sequência da temporada para Djoko, que deve perder o US Open por não estar vacinado contra a Covid-19.

In the year of the Queen of England's platinum jubilee, the coins to be used in the Wimbledon ladies' and gentlemen's singles finals coin toss this weekend will be made of platinum for the first time in the championships' history. As Mining Weekly reported earlier this year, the coins are being presented to the championships by the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), the members of which are South Africa's Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum, Northam Platinum, Royal Bafokeng Platinum, Sedibelo Platinum and Tharisa. Made of 70 g pure platinum, each coin gram represents a year of royal service by the queen. The obverse, ‘heads', side of each coin carries the platinum jubilee emblem and has been inspired by the themes of service, endurance and strength. The design incorporates a quotation from the queen's famous speech made on her 21st birthday on 21 April 1947, ‘My whole life whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service', as well as an oak leaf motif inspired by the Royal Badge of the House of Windsor. The reverse, ‘tails', side of each coin is inscribed with the Wimbledon Roundel, as well as its centenary mark, specially designed for use in centre court's centenary year. The centre court allusion continues with the use of the inspirational Rudyard Kipling quote, "If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same"; words that are inscribed above the players' entrance to centre court. All England Club chairperson Ian Hewitt highlighted the symbolic gesture as adding a special element to proceedings at this year's double celebration and WPIC CEO Paul Wilson expressed delight at the global market authority on platinum investment being given an opportunity to showcase platinum. Wilson noted platinum's service to the planet by improving air quality and paving the way for hydrogen, “particularly green hydrogen, the next generation, zero-emissions fuel – and its associated uses”. The coins were designed by bespoke jeweller Heirloom London in collaboration with the All England Club, and produced using a combination of modern technology and traditional hand-engraving techniques. Platinum, found overwhelmingly in South Africa, is the metal that is unlocking the global hydrogen economy, with hydrogen poised to become a mainstream, sustainable fuel which will play a central role in decarbonisation; over 30 countries already have road maps or strategy documents setting out their intentions in this regard. Due to its catalytic properties, platinum is fundamental to the technology that enables the hydrogen economy; it is used in the production of green hydrogen from wind or solar power and in fuel cells for zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs.

Broadcaster & newest member of the California Sports Hall of Fame Ted Robinson joins Inside-In to recap all the drama around the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.

Scott Cooney and Darren Parkin dissected yet another action packed day and night at the All England Club on RSN 927!

Brett Phillips joins the show

Another shocking twist was written into the story of Wimbledon 2022 on Thursday, with Rafa Nadal announcing that he was not going to continue to compete for the title in Friday's men's semi finals. Jonathan Overend takes you through events as they unfolded at the All England Club, and reflects on what it all means with Wimbledon doubles champion Mark Woodforde. Ons Jabeur was the first women to book her place in the 2022 Wimbledon women's singles final, and Overs gets some perspective on what this means for the people of Tunisia from Hichem Riani - a man who has known Ons since she was nine years old! Elena Rybakina will be joining Ons Jabeur in the final, after she drove 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep off the court in straight sets, and Overs caught up with her - understandably very happy - coach, Stefano Vukov. Former British players Annabel Croft and Naomi Cavaday also give their thoughts on both and offer their initial predictions on who will go on to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish on Saturday! Multiple Grand Slam champion Alfie Hewett also made it through to the semi-finals in the men's wheelchair singles, and speaks to Jonathan about his disappointment regarding what he calls a missed opportunity to promote the sport. And of course, Jonathan looks ahead to what is now the only match on offer tomorrow, Britain's Cameron Norrie versus defending champion Novak Djokovic! TOPICS: 1'15 - Rafa Nadal's announcement 7'58 - Reaction to Ons Jabeur's victory 13'20 - Elena Rybakina makes the final 19'14 - Alfie Hewett's win & interview

Scott Cooney and Darren Parkin dissect a massive Monday at the All England Club on RSN 927 - don't miss it!

There will be plenty of fireworks and grill marks as I take a peek at the entire sports landscape here on the latest holiday edition of the podcast. On deck: (4:44) There was plenty of wheeling and dealing in the NBA over the past week, with supermax deals handed out left and right (i.e. Nikola Jokic, Devin Booker, Zion Williamson, to name a few) but the big story was Kevin Durant requesting to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets. Who's to blame in all of this? Is it KD? The Nets? I'll have a full commentary on all of this, especially what the hierarchy of the Nets should do, if they haven't done so already, in order to keep the peace and rebuild their relationships with KD & Kyrie. The other newsworthy note in the Association was the Timberwolves trading a boatload of players and #1 picks to Utah for Rudy Gobert. Was this deal too expensive for the Timberwolves blood? Is Gobert even a good fit with this roster? I'll also share my thoughts on the Celtics shrewd deal to bring in Malcolm Brogdon from the Pacers. Although it comes with a caveat that is concerning. (31:27) We're just about at the halfway mark of the baseball season. The All-Star Break is two weeks away. The Dodgers squandered a golden opportunity for a four game sweep of the rival Padres, but San Diego saved face as they beat up closer, Craig Kimbrel. The White Sox are looking to make a push as they come off of a sweep in San Francisco with a home date with the division leading Twins. I'll tell you what's going on in the NL Central. The Mets and Braves are a week away from re-acquainting themselves during this 2022 season. The AL East is a logjam after the first place Yankees and the Astros are in another stratosphere at the moment as the hottest team in the sport as I dissect both leagues to see where we're at about 81 games into the schedule. (42:16) Wimbledon is into its second week of competition. The stunning news from the tournament was Iga Swiatek having her 37 match streak snapped against Alize Cornet on the women's side. Also, Coco Gauff has lost, leaving the possibility of Harmony Tan (who beat Serena Williams last week) to become the Cinderella at the All England Club. On the men's side, Carlos Alcaraz will not have a date with Novak Djokovic, but it's Jannik Sinner (CORRECTION: I said Skinner during the pod, not Sinner. My apologies for the error) who has that distinction. The guy who's making most of the headlines is Nick Kyrgios, who's temperament and attitude was the story of the weekend. Is he all bark and no bite? Can he make his way to the final? (48:09) Both USC & UCLA will pack their bags and join the Big 10 in 2024. What does this mean for the PAC-12? Will there be a merger of conferences down the road? Is this the beginning of the end for the sport on a whole? (53:43) The NHL Draft and free agency is upcoming. The impact is already taking place in Tampa Bay as they had to free up money and make a tough move by trading defenseman Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators. I'll also get into the Class of 2022 Hall of Fame as the Sedin twins (Daniel & Henrik), Roberto Luongo and Daniel Alfredsson will be enshrined in Toronto. Why I feel none of the above are worthy of being Hall of Famers. (59:59) Branden Grace makes history by becoming the first player to win a LIV Golf Event in the US. Did anyone watch?

Wimbledon week one saw a GOAT come and go, her sister light up the doubles court, the two male legends anchor their sides of the draw, and the loquacious Cornet end Swiatek's 37-match win streak. Saturday lit up the tournament for reasons good and bad; after Anisimova notched an impressive win over Gauff, Kyrgios and Tsitsipas gave an absolute shit show of code violations, toxic behavior, and occasionally compelling tennis.

Cam Norrie ensured there will be British interest in the quarter-finals, and Overs chats to Davis Cup Captain, Leon Smith, about Norrie's path to the last eight, and beyond that, his journey over the last five years. Former British player Naomi Cavaday also walks us through the day's developments in the ladies singles, and former players Mark Woodforde and Annabel Croft join Jonathan straight after commentating on Jannik Sinner's victory to chat about the future stars of men's tennis. 1'00 - Special opening ceremony on first Middle Sunday 2'44 - Marion Bartoli tells us what it was like to be amongst so many Wimbledon legends 5'47 - Reflections on Cameron Norrie's progress with Leon Smith 13'53 - Reaction to Sinner versus Alcaraz 18'07 - Thoughts on remaining hopefuls for the Ladies Singles title 20'06 - Looking ahead to day eight

Scott Cooney and Darren Parkin dissect a whopping few days to kickstart Wimbledon 2022 at the All England Club on RSN 927!

Our tennis guru is embedded at the All England Club. He gives us the latest as the Aussies make headlines.

A fiery Nick Kyrgios has narrowly survived a five-set scare as he battled through his first round match at Wimbledon.The Aussie tennis star beat Brit Paul Jubb 3-6, 6-1, 7-5, 7-6, 7-5 in a match that was more notable for his astonishing sprays at the umpire and a line judge than the tennis itself.Kyrgios branded the line judge a "snitch" who "has no fans" in the opening minutes of the highly-charged tie - and continued with his comments towards the chair - and some British fans - as the match went on.Kyrgios dedicated the win to the "rowdy" members of the crowd who criticised him during the match."I thought I was going to go down there for a bit and it would have been tough to take," he said.Asked about his temperament during the match, and whether he would consider a career in commentary after he retires, he said: "I just talk a lot."Off the court I'm not too bad, on court I'm different. But if they pay me enough I'll probably do it."In the middle of the third game of the opening set, the Aussie's war of words with the officials began.Kyrgios had grown frustrated of people talking between points and his frustration boiled over when a line judge approached the chair umpire.As the changeover continued, courtside microphones picked up Kyrgios calling the line judge a "snitch" who "has no fans".The at-times volatile Aussie completely lost it however after his serve was broken and he clobbered a ball out of the Court 3 stadium his opening round match was being played on. He was handed a ball abuse warning for the act.Kyrgios' frustration got the better of him as a level-headed Jubb claimed the opening set 6-3 with fans watching from the edge of their seats."Nick Kyrgios is so frustrated about being broken to go 5-3 down against Britain's Paul Jubb he has just smashed a ball out of the All England Club and onto Church Road. Jubb, who is playing really well, wins the first set 6-3," The Guardian's Sean Ingle wrote.n standard Kyrgios fashion however, the Aussie completely flipped the script in the second set by taking it 6-1.His dominance was on full display as he broke Jubb's serve multiple times and dominated behind his own serve.As the second set rolled on the Aussie was motivating himself after every point he won, but it didn't stop the chatter during changeovers between him and the chair umpire.Kyrgios' words towards the line judge continued after a check on one of his serves, the Aussie was heard saying she was "the worst I've ever seen" and telling her to "get off the court" as her call was overruled.The Aussie eventually took the third set 7-5.But he lost his stranglehold of the match in the fourth set, losing on tie break before launching into a spray at the umpire about a let call.It was more of the same in the fifth set, as Kyrgios threw away an opportunity to serve out the match - with Jubb breaking back.But Kyrgios' experience shone through as he broke Jubb's serve again to win the fifth set 7-5.- news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, June 27th, 2022. Pastor Toby is on vacation this week, spending time with his family… Again, I want to start this newsbrief off talking about our conference, because early bird pricing is coming to an end! Lies, Propaganda, Story Telling, and the Serrated Edge: This year our national conference is in Knoxville, TN October 6th-8th. The theme of this year’s conference is Lies, Propaganda, Storytelling and the Serrated Edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVIDpanic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and to grab more power. Because Christians have not been reading their bibles, we are susceptible to lies and weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us His word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God’s word, its serrated edge and all. Mark your calendars for October 6th-8th, as we fight, laugh and feast with fellowship, beer and Psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, hanging with our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and more. Early bird tickets are available now, but will be gone before you know it! Sign up now at flfnetwork.com https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-new-york-supreme-court-strikes-down-law-that-allowed-non-citizens-to-vote?utm_campaign=64487 New York Supreme Court strikes down law that allowed non-citizens to vote New York City's City Council approved a measure in January to give non-citizens the right to vote in local elections. But after a suit was brought by the GOP lawmakers, the New York Supreme Court ruled that no, non-citizens do not have the right to vote. The plan would have added some 800,000 New Yorkers to the voting rolls, and would have allowed them to vote for mayor, public advocate, city council, borough presidents, and school boards. Justice Ralph Porzio said that the law was in direct violation of the New York State Constitution. "The New York State Constitution expressly states that citizens meeting the age and residency requirements are entitled to register and vote in elections," he said. "Though voting is a right so many citizens take for granted, the City of New York cannot 'obviate' the restrictions imposed by the Constitution," Porzio continued, going on to say that "the weight of the citizens’ vote will be diluted by municipal voters and candidates and political parties alike will need to reconfigure their campaigns." The bill allowed non-citizens to register in political parties and vote in local elections if they hold green cards or have working visas. The only additional requirement for non-citizens is that they have been residents of New York City for a mere 30 days. In striking down the law, Porzio said that "Though Plaintiffs have not suffered harm today, the harm they will suffer is imminent." The bill was slated to go into effect for the 2023 election year. Outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio was not in favor of the measure, but agreed to sign the law anyway. Current Mayor Eric Adams was on board with the bill, saying that while the bill might not be legal, green card holders should get the vote. The idea was that because they were impacted by local leaders, and were being taxed, they should also vote, despite that being a right only for US citizens. The bill was touted by immigrant activists as necessary, because those immigrant non-citizens pay taxes and should therefore be permitted to vote. Staten Island City Councilman Joe Borelli said of the ruling that: "Today's decision validates those of us who can read the plain English words of our state constitution and state statutes: Noncitizen voting in New York is illegal, and shame on those who thought they could skirt the law for political gain. Opposition to this measure was bipartisan and cut across countless neighborhood and ethnic lines, yet progressives chose to ignore both our constitution and public sentiment in order to suit their aims. I commend the court in recognizing reality and reminding New York's professional protestor class that the rule of law matters." https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-offering-johnny-depp-301-million-to-return-to-movie-franchise-report?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dwbrand Disney Offering Johnny Depp $301 Million To Return To Movie Franchise: Report Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is reportedly set to return to Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise after the entertainment giant offered Depp a whopping $301 million to return the role. Depp was let go from the franchise in 2018 after starring in five movies, making the film’s box office successes and some of the most profitable movies of all time. A jury recently found that Amber Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed about domestic violence, published by The Washington Post in 2018. It was alleged that Depp was let go from “Pirates of the Caribbean” in part because of the claims made in that op-ed. An insider told the Australian outlet Poptopic that Disney is “very interested in patching up their relationship with Johnny Depp. They reached out to the actor prior to his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked whether he would be interested in returning for another ‘Pirates’ film or two.” “I know corporate sent him a gift basket with a very heartfelt letter, but I’m unsure how it was received,” the source alleged. “But what I can tell you is that the studio has already penned up a draft for a film about Jack Sparrow — so they are very hopeful that Johnny will forgive them and return as his iconic character.” According to Poptopic’s insider, the company is “prepping a deal for USD$301 million deal that will include a sizable donation to a charity of Depp’s choice. The deal is reportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and a spin-off Disney Plus series about the early life of the Captain of The Black Pearl.” Following his legal victory, Depp said in a statement, “Six years later, the jury gave me my life back … I am truly humbled.” Personally, as much as I love Johnny’s portrayal of Captain Jack, I think it’s time for he and the franchise to end… the movies just weren’t as good, but as we all know Disney, I’m sure they’ll want to keep their cash cow afloat.

"The gas station owner is the least responsible for high prices. The cost of theft gets passed on in higher prices, and when people are driving around with unsecured stolen fuel, it is a concern to anybody."Air Force veteran co-founder of NGT Academy, a network engineering and cybersecurity training academy, Terry Kim said: "It's really sad because who's really losing out in these types of situations is the gas station owner.""You can literally put them completely out of business [into] bankruptcy by doing this kind of stuff. Even though stealing oil might be helping people or getting free gas, this is really a bad thing for these gas station owners," he said.In Virginia Beach, Virginia earlier this month, police observed "numerous vehicles" using devices to pump gas from a Citgo station that was closed at the time. "Individuals were then selling the gasoline at a discounted rate through a phone application and had advertised the operation on social media. It was determined that thousands of dollars worth of gasoline was stolen from the business over several days," the Virginia Beach Police Department said in a June 14 press release. As Fox News reproted: To protect themselves from cyberattacks, fuel retailers should make sure their networks are up-to-date and properly secured so that their technology infrastructure has no vulnerabilities, or weaknesses allowing hackers to infiltrate their networks and steal or change information. Stores and franchises should also train their employees, Kim and NGT Academy co-founder Jacob Hess said.More thieves are stealing gas in the United States, with 25% of fuel retailers reporting an increase in gas thefts.Physical gas thefts not involving cyberattacks are another issue. Now it’s time for the topic that I love… sports! https://nypost.com/2022/06/26/novak-djokovic-wont-get-covid-vaccine-to-play-us-open/ Novak Djokovic won’t change mind on COVID vaccine to play US Open Novak Djokovic knows that, as things stand now, Wimbledon will be his last Grand Slam tournament of 2022, because he will not be able to play in the U.S. Open — he has not received any COVID-19 shots and can’t enter the United States as an unvaccinated foreigner. “That,” the 35-year-old from Serbia said Saturday at the All England Club, “is an extra motivation to do well here.” Djokovic began this season tied with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at 20 major championships, then the record for a man. But Djokovic’s decision not to get vaccinated led to his deportation from Australia before the Australian Open in January — and Nadal wound up winning that tournament to get his 21st. Nadal then beat Djokovic in the quarterfinals at the French Open en route to earning his 22nd Slam title this month. When Wimbledon starts on Monday, Djokovic will have the honor of opening play at Centre Court as the defending champion. He is seeded No. 1 and will be bidding for a fourth consecutive title at the All England Club and seventh overall. “Hopefully I can have a very good tournament, as I have done in the last three editions. Then I’ll just have to wait and see. I would love to go to States. But as of today, that’s not possible,” said Djokovic, who has come down with COVID-19 twice. “There is not much I can do anymore. I mean, it’s really up to the U.S. government to make a decision whether or not they allow unvaccinated people to go into the country.” A reporter noted that Djokovic does still have time to get vaccinated before play begins at Flushing Meadows on Aug. 29, and then asked him whether “you’ve completely closed your mind to that as an option.” Djokovic replied with one word: “Yes.” This has been your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief… If you liked the show, go ahead and hit that share button.

*) Russia presses Donbass offensive as fighting enters fourth month Russian forces have stepped up their offensive on the last pocket of resistance around Luhansk in Ukraine's eastern Donbass region, as the conflict enters its fourth month. In his nightly address on Monday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the coming weeks will be challenging. He added "the most difficult fighting situation today is in Donbass", which is currently the focus of Russia's offensive. The governor of Luhansk has said Russia has sent thousands of troops to capture his entire region. *) Ukraine jails Russian soldier for life at 'war crimes' trial A court in Kiev has sentenced a 21-year-old Russian soldier to life in prison for killing a Ukrainian civilian. The court found Vadim Shishimarin, a Russian sergeant, guilty of killing 62-year-old Oleksandr Shelipov in north-east Ukraine in the first days of Moscow's offensive. It was the first guilty conviction for what Ukrainian authorities describe as “war crimes” by Moscow's forces. Shishimarin's lawyer said he will appeal the verdict. *) Kishida: Quad plans $50B infrastructure investment in Asia-Pacific The United States, Japan, India and Australia plan to invest at least $50 billion into infrastructure projects in the Asia-Pacific, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida has said. Leaders of the four countries have met in Tokyo for a summit of the Quad grouping. It looks to counter China's growing military and economic influence in the region. After the summit, Kishida said that Russia's offensive against Ukraine is shaking the fundamental principles of the international order. Unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force will never be tolerated anywhere, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region, Kishida added. *) Sri Lanka increases fuel prices to address economic crisis Cash-strapped Sri Lanka has sharply hiked fuel prices to a record high, causing further pain to the country's 22 million people in its worst crisis since independence. Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said a newly appointed "economic war cabinet" has approved the new rates to stem huge losses at the state-run Ceylon Petroleum Corp. Diesel prices have increased 230 percent and petrol has gone up 137 percent in the past six months. Economists say fuel and transport price increases will inevitably flow through to food and other goods. *) Osaka says she may skip Wimbledon over ranking points row Former world number one Naomi Osaka has said she may skip Wimbledon over the decision to strip the Grand Slam tournament of ranking points. The four-time major winner said that she was "leaning more towards not playing given the current circumstances". The ATP and WTA tours have removed ranking points from Wimbledon after the All England Club banned Russian and Belarusian players in response to the Ukraine crisis. Osaka crashed out of the French Open in a first-round loss on Monday. This came a year after her withdrawal from the clay court Grand Slam amid mental health issues.

Welcome again to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week we examine billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk move to acquire social media giant Twitter and the broader picture of billionaire influence over our news media and free speech. But first a rant or three, as Zak highlights the passage of a Connecticut bill aimed to protect abortion rights for recipients and providers against out-of-state legal backlash from the many other far more restrictive states; Ed spotlights the fallout from the watershed Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano unification bout from last weekend and the promising future of headline female prize-fighting; and finally Andrew decries the decision of the All England Club to ban competitors from Russia and Belarus amidst the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. This leads us to Musk, and his many peers among the billionaire class: Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos most notably, that control both news and social media as we know it. How we use and interact with Twitter, what to expect under Musk's control and whether or not we continue to engage the platform going forward comprise the bulk of this conversation. But to comprehend and begin to understand Musk's ascension to a controlling interest in Twitter, means also considering Zuckerberg and Facebook; Jeff Bezos' ownership of the Washington Post, Peter Thiel's funding of the destruction of independent Gawker Media, Sheldon Adleson, Ru0ert Murdoch, et al. What does free speech look like in the media: broadcast, news and social alike, when that speech is controlled by the world's richest men? Your panel seeks seeks an answer to that question and others this week on the Bill Bradley Collective.

WATCH: U.S. 'out of the pandemic phase,' Fauci says Well folks you heard our COVID Over-Lord, we’re out of the pandemic. I’m sure that means the coast is 100% clear! Happy Thursday everyone, today’s News Brief is for Thursday, April 28th, 2022. Just so you guys know, you still have an opportunity to sign up for our last stop in the CrossPolitic Liberty Tour, as we’ll be in Phoenix Arizona, on May 19th, and we’ll be joined by Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church, and Political analyst Delano Squires, who has made appearances on the Blaze, and the Tucker Carlson show. For only $20, you could be in the audience, as we talk about the five stones, of true liberty! Something our country really needs to be thinking about, as I’m sure our government would love to snatch that away from us given the chance. https://fox2now.com/news/national/fauci-says-us-is-out-of-the-pandemic-stage/ Anyways, back to that Fauci guy. Fauci says US is ‘out of the pandemic phase’. The nation’s top immunologist said Tuesday that the country has finally moved past the pandemic stage after more than two years, pointing to the U.S. population’s current rates of infection, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. But what does that mean going forward? Well, Fauci warned, that vaccines, which in his words are — one of the most effective tools against infection and serious illness — are still essential for keeping the country from backsliding, but he couldn’t say how often Americas would need to be boostered. He threw out, that might be every year, that might be longer, in order to keep that level low… I’m reminded of a talk that a friend of our show, Steve Deace gave, at our Fight Laugh Feast Rally in South Dakota. In that talk, he mentioned how this was not a one-time event… this was a harvest. I’ll play some of this clip where he talks about his book, Faucian Bargain. https://flfnetwork.com/fight-laugh-feast-rally-in-sd-2021-archive/ -Play 8:38-10:30 It ain’t about a virus… you can watch the rest of Steve’s talk in our club portal by the way… so if you’re not a club member, sign up flfnetwork.com/membership.

Well what do you mean? Aren’t feminists champions of this day and age? Well according to RedState, Miss Buckley was scheduled to speak at the iconic institution about British Romanticism. But though her appearance was centered on poetry and philosophy, someone at the school discovered online information regarding her and transgenderism. Fast forward to her talk getting 86’d. As noted by The Post Millennial, Devin’s a board member for the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF). Wolf in sheep’s clothing maybe? Per its website, the group boasts a gender-related mission: To abolish regressive gender roles and the epidemic of male violence using legal arguments, policy advocacy, and public education. In service to said abolition, WoLF has a plan: Their website reads, To Facilitate a cultural shift away from gender roles and sex-stereotypes. Defend sex-segregation of domestic violence shelters and prisons, which affects the most consistently vulnerable, impoverished, and abused women. Support the needs of lesbian and bisexual women. Speak out against targeted censorship and defend free speech for women. Well great, so far so good, this keeps up with the current zeitgeist. Now prepare for the problematic: Defend sex-segregation of women’s sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms. Support detransitioners in their struggle to be healed and heard. Uh oh…now you’ve really kicked the hornet’s nest… On April 18th, Devin reportedly received an email from an English department employee: I have some bad news. As we were preparing the application for next year’s funding, my co-coordinator looked you up on Google to include the correct details about you on the application. Controversy was uncovered: She was surprised to find that your public profile is largely rooted in controversial issues regarding trans identity and that you’re on the board of an organization that takes a public stance regarding trans people as dangerous and deceptive. Since you’re mostly engaging in the public sphere as more of a polemicist than Romanticist, this puts the…department and myself in an uneasy position. By the way, according to Merriam Webster, polemicist is defined as:an aggressive attack on or refutation of the opinions or principles of another. The email continued: Really, it’s not so much because of your own personal conviction regarding trans identity. It’s more about the public stance you’ve taken and how you’ve recently crafted a professional presence around these issues. I’m so sorry we can’t extend the formal invitation I promised you. You get the idea… Well Devin’s none too impressed. She replied: “This is a case of Harvard deplatforming me for political reasons entirely unrelated to my scholarship, if it is unacceptable for me to speak at Harvard on British poetry and philosophy because I am a feminist, then I invite Harvard to purge its libraries and museums of all those who hold views unacceptable to Harvard. If I am to be silenced, then why do the tomes and treatises of history’s innumerable sexist, racist, homophobes still sit on Harvard’s hallowed shelves and continue to be cited with reverence? Harvard should cleanse them all and leave nothing but the purity of empty space. Very interesting… it appears that we’re getting to a place where all the toxic ideologies out there are going to start gobbling up one another, and I for one, can’t wait to watch it. And hey, as the bullets get ready to fly, you better get some protection! Well I’ve got just the company for you… The Mission of Armored Republic is to Honor Christ by equipping Free Men with Tools of Liberty necessary to preserve God-given rights. In the Armored Republic there is no King but Christ. We are Free Craftsmen. Body Armor is a Tool of Liberty. We create Tools of Liberty.

Novak Djokovic allowed to defend Wimbledon title as vaccine isn’t required https://nypost.com/2022/04/26/novak-djokovic-can-play-in-wimbledon-as-vaccine-isnt-required/ According to the New York Post, Novak Djokovic will be allowed to defend his title at Wimbledon, despite not being vaccinated against COVID-19, because the shots are not required to enter Britain, All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said Tuesday. Djokovic, a 34-year-old Serb who is ranked No. 1, missed the Australian Open in January after being deported from that country because he was not vaccinated against the illness. During the annual spring briefing ahead of Wimbledon, which starts on June 27, Bolton said that “whilst, of course, it is encouraged” that all players get vaccinated, “it will not be a condition of entry to compete” at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament this year. Djokovic, in addition to being unable to defend his championship at Melbourne Park after an 11-day legal saga over whether he could remain in Australia, had to sit out tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami because he couldn’t travel to the United States as a foreigner who is unvaccinated. I grew to respect athletes like Novak Djokovic, Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving, and Jonathan Isaac, a whole lot more after their refusal to bend the knee to our COVID overlords… In Novak’s case, he made the right call, as I mentioned in my news brief last week, where numerous competitors collapsed in the Miami Open Tournament. The U.S. Tennis Association has said that it will follow whatever governmental rules are in place regarding COVID-19 vaccination status when the U.S. Open is held starting in late August. Djokovic — who has said he got COVID-19 twice, once each in 2020 and 2021 — owns 20 Grand Slam singles titles, tied with Roger Federer for the second-most for a man. They trail Rafael Nadal, who won his 21st at the Australian Open. Six of Djokovic’s trophies came at Wimbledon, including victories each of the past three times the tournament was held — in 2018, 2019 and 2021. It was not held in 2020 because of the pandemic. After what happened in Australia, Djokovic said he would be willing to sit out other Grand Slam tournaments if getting vaccinated were a requirement to compete. The next major event is the French Open, which begins on May 22, and the tournament director said last month there was nothing preventing Djokovic from defending his 2021 title in Paris. Good on you Novak, good on you. Lastly, how about a little on this day in history? https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/muhammad-ali-refuses-army-induction#:~:text=On%20April%2028%2C%201967%2C%20with,from%20boxing%20for%20three%20years. On April 28, 1967, with the United States at war in Vietnam, Ali refused to be inducted into the armed forces, saying “I ain’t got no quarrel with those Vietcong.” On June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, fined $10,000 and banned from boxing for three years. He stayed out of prison as his case was appealed and returned to the ring on October 26, 1970, knocking out Jerry Quarry in Atlanta in the third round. On March 8, 1971, Ali fought Joe Frazier in the “Fight of the Century” and lost after 15 rounds, the first loss of his professional boxing career. On June 28 of that same year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction for evading the draft. At a January 24, 1974, rematch at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Ali defeated Frazier by decision in 12 rounds. On October 30 of that same year, an underdog Ali bested George Foreman and reclaimed his heavyweight champion belt. Thanks for tuning into this CrossPolitic Daily News Brief.

What can we say, we love alliteration. Ty Tumminia, former Commissioner of the Premier Hockey Federation, talks about her long and storied career in minor league baseball and women's hockey, growing up in a baseball family and her bullish outlook on women's sports. DP & McGhee talk about the rapidly changing world of digital media, including the impact Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter might have on the sports business, and how Netflix's recent challenges could impact their sports strategy. The hosts also talk about the All England Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from this year's Wimbledon. The discussion wraps up with about the growth of Las Vegas as a home to major league teams and host to big-time sports events.

It took a while, but in the end, Novak Djokovic was able to withstand a strong challenge from an inspired compatriot, Laslo Djere, in a thrilling match at the Belgrade Open -- one decided in a third-set tiebreaker. Novak also made a statement about the All England Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from Wimbledon this year. Join Gill, Amy, and Joel as they dig in on the latest episode of "Three -- A Show About Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic."

Another milestone as the podcast has reached the 250th episode plateau. Join me as I'll share all that the sports world has to offer. On deck: (3:42) The NBA playoffs have took a bit of a turn with the two representatives of last years' Finals teams. Suns G Devin Booker and Bucks F/G Khris Middleton will be out of the lineup for at least a couple of games in their first round series due to injury. Is there a chance of a first round upset with both of those guys out? I'll also cover the rest of the postseason landscape. Luka on the mend with a possible Game 3 start in Utah? Do the Nets have a chance to come back in their series with Boston? What about the Hawks? Is Memphis back on track to take a lead vs. Minnesota? (21:47) Villanova Wildcats basketball coach Jay Wright, surprisingly retires from coaching as he passes the torch to former assistant Kyle Neptune. Will the university skip a beat with Wright no longer on the sideline? (24:57) The NHL is a little more than a week away from concluding their regular season. There isn't much drama going on, but you have a couple of races in each conference that could determine seeding (in the East with Tampa/Boston and Pittsburgh/Washington) or possibly elimination (Dallas, Nashville, Vegas, Vancouver) as I'll dissect and monitor as to who may make it? And who may not? (33:04) MLB is two weeks into their season. Over the past few days, we had Freddie Freeman facing his former team (same for Braves Kenley Jansen). Max Scherzer's fast start as he's 3-0. The woes of Gerrit Cole as his start has been the opposite of the Mets starter, but it was Aaron Boone's comments on his struggling ace that had me aggravated! The impressive debut of Reds P Hunter Greene. The unveiling of Tom Seaver's statue at Citi Field. And the coverage of Apple TV as they'll be streaming games throughout the year. Is it anything to write home about? (40:10) The wide receivers in the NFL have made a ton of money this offseason (i.e. Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill and Devante Adams) but there are two in the league that are taking different approaches to getting their big payday. 49ers Deebo Samuel is requesting a trade and Rams Cooper Kupp wants a fair deal for him and the team. How will these scenarios play out? And what are the Browns doing with Baker Mayfield? Why are they taking their time in trading their former quarterback? (46:45) The All England Club at Wimbledon made a staunch decision to not let any Russian or Belarusian players participate in their tournament come late June. Which means, one of the top ranked men's players in the world (Daniil Medvedev) will not be a part of the festivities. Was this a rash decision? Could they have waited it out? Could you blame them?
