TYLER, Texas — Five people were shot and injured early Sunday during an outdoor event in East Texas that featured a trail ride, according to authorities. The Smith County Sheriff’s Office said it received a call at 12:35 a.m. Sunday about multiple gunshot victims in a large pasture area in the eastern part of the county. People were taking part in an annual trail ride sponsored by Unified Elite Riderzz from nearby Marshall, Texas. Authorities say witnesses told investigators that following a fight near a concert stage, one or more trail ride groups started shooting into the crowd. After the initial shooting, some of the people at the event ran to the security area that had been collecting firearms from attendees and got their guns back, the sheriff’s office said. A second and third shooting then took place. Investigators believe all the injuries happened during the first shooting. Four of those shot have been treated and released from area hospitals. One person … [Read more...] about 5 people shot during Texas trail ride event

Lorenzo Insigne joined Diego Maradona on 115 Napoli goals on Sunday with the fourth in a 4-1 thumping of rock-bottom Salernitana which kept his team on Inter Milan’s coattails. Insigne, who has played his entire senior career with his local team, smashed home from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute to move level with legend Maradona in the club’s scoring charts. His strike made sure of a win over regional rivals Salernitana which moves Napoli second and keeps them four points behind league leaders Inter. AC Milan can retake second place with a win over Juventus at the San Siro in the weekend’s big match, later on Sunday evening. Insigne will move to Toronto FC in July after signing a lucrative four-year deal with the Major League Soccer side earlier this month, giving him one last season to emulate Maradona and win a league title with Napoli. The 30-year-old’s penalty was his fifth goal of the Serie A campaign and the second spot-kick of the game after adopted Neapolitan … [Read more...] about Serie A: Lorenzo Insigne Matches Diego Maradona as Napoli Stay on Inter Milan’s Trail

A 31-year-old Indian-origin man was shot dead while sitting in a parked SUV down the street from his home in New York, according to media reports, days after an Indian national was killed after sustaining an apparent gunshot wound to his head in Maryland. Satnam Singh was found sitting in the car at around 3:46 p.m. on Saturday in the South Ozone Park section of Queens with gunshot wounds in his neck and torso, the New York Post newspaper reported quoting New York Police Department as saying. Mr. Singh was sitting in the black Jeep Wrangler Sahara borrowed from a friend when a gunman approached and started shooting, New York Daily News reported. Mr. Singh was rushed from the scene to Jamaica Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.

Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport worldwide and has gained a massive following in recent years even in countries that don’t get to roll out the red carpet for racing; India being one of those countries and this author being one of those followers.

Be careful what you wish for. After the back-breaking Baku race made Lewis Hamilton the go-to-meme for millennial health issues, Mercedes drummed up support in the paddock for the FIA to do something about porpoising . The FIA obliged, but its fix may end up biting Mercedes in the rear wing, dragging Ferrari for good measure, working Red Bull into a frenzy. And the Netflix cameras are watching it all. Let’s take it from the top. For the uninitiated, the phenomenon giving porpoises – cute aquatic mammals that resemble dolphins – a bad rep is the vertical … [Read more...] about Rookie on F1 Grid | Raise Your Car or Race Your Car?

A new ad by the State Government Leadership Foundation (SGLF) slams President Joe Biden for allegedly ruining Americans’ summer by making life too expensive. The ad , shared first with the Daily Caller, contrasts life under Republican leadership with the current environment of high gas prices and inflation, depicting the former as a better time to be an American. It also highlights that a key pillar of Biden’s pitch on the campaign trail was a “return to normalcy” following the often-unorthodox tenure of former President Donald Trump, but claims that Americans aren’t having a normal summer due to Biden’s economic policies. The new spot is the third in the SGLF’s “Tale of Two Americas” ad campaign, which aims to show Americans that life was better off under Republican control than it is now with Democrats in power not only at the federal level but in many state legislatures. The six-figure ad campaign is targeting key battleground states for the 2022 midterm elections, including … [Read more...] about EXCLUSIVE: New Conservative Ad Blasts Biden For Allegedly Ruining Americans’ Summer

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters has made no secret of his connections to his longtime business partner and biggest political benefactor, billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel. But new reporting shows that Masters can’t seem to quit promoting Thiel businesses on the campaign trail—and that Thiel or Masters can’t seem to stop making questionable in-kind contributions. Masters announced last month that he had left his top positions at two organizations named after Thiel, who has poured more than $10 million of support into the Senate bid. But a Daily Beast review of business, campaign, and tax records reveals that Masters appears still far from severing his shared interests with his mentor. Brendan Fischer, deputy executive director at Documented, told The Daily Beast that the facts demonstrate an inextricable connection. “This further underscores how Masters’ candidacy is almost inseparable from its billionaire backer,” Fischer said. “Thiel helped launch … [Read more...] about The Epic Back-Scratching Fest Between Blake Master and a Trumpy Billionaire

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 23 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t relinquish their grip on the Stanley Cup without a fight. Andrei Vasilevskiy rejected shot after shot, keeping the two-time defending champions’ quest for a threepeat alive. In the end, another superb performance by the star goaltender wasn’t enough to keep the Colorado Avalanche from wresting the title away. “It definitely stings," defenseman Ryan MacDonagh said. The Lightning were 3-0 when facing possible elimination before Sunday night’s 2-1 loss in Game 6 stopped their bid to become the first team to win three consecutive Stanley Cup championships since the New York Islanders captured four in a row from 1980-83. Steven Stamkos got them off to a fast start, scoring from in front of Darcy Kuemper less than … [Read more...] about Defending champion Lightning’s bid for 3-peat falls short
