As gun violence continues to plague Chicago, President Donald Trump has announced that federal agents will be deployed to the city to “help drive down violent crime.” But while some community leaders say they welcome any attempts to make their city safer, other activists worry that the presence of federal law enforcement will only bring more chaos during a time of already great stresses. “This deployment seems very cursory and not very sustainable,” Cinaiya Stubbs, the Executive… Source link

MATCHES (EDT) FORWARDS Willian, CHE v. WOL (£20): The matchup against Wolves isn’t ideal, but Chelsea need a result to guarantee they finish in the top four and Willian continues to be their dominant free-kick taker, a role that helped him score at least 8.05 fantasy points in all but two games since the restart. He is also Chelsea’s penalty-taker, and in a match that could be close, there’s always the possibility that that comes into play. And speaking of goals, Olivier Giroud (£19) is… Source link

A Victorian mum has used an unexpected Aldi product to develop her own hilarious yet practical face mask amid the state’s struggle to clamp down on community transmission of the novel coronavirus. Emily Rumbold, a mum-of-seven from Melbourne, opted to repurpose an old wet wipe packet into a nifty mask, in line with the state’s recent mandating of face coverings for all residents in the city. Adding an additional feature, she positioned the opening lid over her mouth, allowing convenient… Source link

It’s good to be back. I will admit, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to write DFS articles for MLB this season. But we’re here now with the first Saturday of the MLB season. This is the first day all 30 teams will be in action. The first game starts at 1:05 PM ET, so if you want to play a full slate you will have to have your lineup in early. Since this is the first Saturday of the season, I am going to look at the full slate. However, I intend to focus on the games starting at 4:05 PM ET or… Source link

US president Donald Trump is waging war on the streets of America but the strongman approach is fomenting resistance, according to those on the ground.

Security forces have frequently tear-gassed and clubbed demonstrators during the unrest. The US Justice… Source link
