The move was among 273 commutations and pardons Obama announced Tuesday as his term winds down. McCovey, 79, and Dodgers Hall of Famer Duke Snider pleaded guilty in 1995 to knowingly failing to report money made from autographs and memorabilia shows from 1988 to 1990. McCovey and Snider were sentenced in 1996 to two years’ probation and fined $5,000. Snider died in 2011. MORE: A-Rod to host reality show featuring broke former athletes...
It attributes to The Washington Post a line saying Obama’s plan would save families about $2,500. But the Post was citing the estimate of the Obama campaign and didn’t analyze the purported savings independently. It claims that “experts” say Obama’s plan is “the best.” “Experts” turn out to be editorial writers at the Iowa City Press-Citizen – who, for all their talents, aren’t actual experts in the field. It quotes yet another newspaper saying Obama’s plan “guarantees coverage for all Americans,” neglecting to mention that, as the article makes clear, it’s only Clinton’s and Edwards’ plans that would require coverage for everyone, while Obama’s would allow individuals to buy in if they wanted to....
Obama participated as part of Chase’s “Show Me Your Walk” live stream to celebrate students graduating from Historically Black Colleges and Universities on Saturday afternoon. In his address, Obama said that while the coronavirus may have dampened some graduates’ final semester, they should all still be proud. “So, even if half this semester was spent at Zoom University, you’ve earned this moment. You should be very proud,” he said. “Now look, I know this isn’t the commencement any of you really imagined, because while our HBCUs are mostly known for an education rooted in academic rigor, community, higher purpose, they also know how to turn up....
Obama awarded Lewis the President Medal of Freedom, in 2011 and viewed the Democratic Congressman, who once marched with Martin Luther King, as his hero.

Causes There are many different obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.

Obstruction can occur when inflammation and swelling cause the airways to become narrowed or blocked, making it difficult to expel air from the lungs....
The show, while exceedingly graphic and gruesome, can be incredibly pretty to look at, and throughout its eight-episode first season, viewers might notice a few visual nods to well-known films, not just director Miloš Forman’s version of Cuckoo’s Nest. While watching, keep an eye (and occasionally an ear) out for parts of Ratched that recall The Shining, Pyscho and The Wizard of Oz. The first time the audience meets Ratched, she’s wearing a scarlet “R” on her jacket, which reminded us of the “A” that Hester Prynne has to wear in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter....

That’s the awful NFC South for you in 2014. After the Saints (4-6) got ripped by Cincinnati 27-10 for their shocking second straight home loss, the Falcons were a little less dysfunctional than the Panthers (3-7-1) and escaped Carolina with a 19-17 victory. Having beaten the Saints way back in Week 1, the Falcons hold the slimmest of division leads coming out of Week 11. The Buccaneers were victorious, too, snapping a six-game losing streak in a big way, 27-7 over Washington....

On Thursday, it was the NFL’s turn to serve as stage for social protests, with the Houston Texans remaining in the locker room during the performing of the national anthem in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. While Kansas City players and coaches stood on the sideline—defensive end Alex Okafor was the only Chief player to take a knee—the Texans were nowhere to be seen for the renditions of “The Star Spangled Banner” and for Alicia Keys’ performance of “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing”....
