Today features an interesting slate with several top end pitchers going, but quite honeslty I am not sure we have a clear best option. Cole Hamels faces the Orioles, who are always a bit of a threat. Johnny Cueto takes on the Phillies, who destroyed the Giants yesterday. Cueto also has gone less than six innings in each of his past three starts. Chris Sale takes on a Tigers team that has won seven games in a row....

Amphan reached Category 5 classification earlier this week as it approached coastal regions of Bangladesh and two adjacent Indian states from the Bay of Bengal. The IMD’s designation referred to Amphan as a “severe cyclonic storm” throughout Wednesday, reduced from “very severe” when it first hit the coastline.

This article discusses the link between cystic fibrosis and pneumonia as well as symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. What’s the Link Between Cystic Fibrosis and Pneumonia? Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that affects many organ systems, but its damage to the lungs is the most concerning problem.

So it is with the images of the five nearly full-term aborted babies recently surrendered to Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. The babies in the photographs allegedly came out with the medical waste from a late-term abortion clinic in the nation’s capital. The photographs are unsettling in the extreme—little boys and girls, far along in their development and their bodies mostly intact, all of them not simply dead but killed....

The wedding of Australian tennis stars Daria Gavrilova and Luke Saville this past Saturday was a major event back in their homeland. The pair tied the knot having started dating at the age of 15. Their big day proved a memorable occasion for all involved with Saville and Gavrilova celebrating their marriage with a first dance choreographed to the Coldplay song “My Universe.” But while the happy couple have hogged the celebrity news headlines back in Australia, over on TikTok, it’s Gavrilova’s adorable Dachshund who has been bagging the plaudits....

In a post on Reddit’s popular r/AmITheA****** forum, user u/Raoyee3 explained that he left his 27-year-old son’s wedding early because he denied his stepmom a mother-son dance. His son Jordan lost his mom when he was just 13, and stepmom Natalie came into his life when he was 16. The dad explained that they never had a particularly close relationship. “He refused to let her get close and shut down every attempt to have a close relationship,” said the poster....

According to the stepfather, the young man had been catcalling a woman from the inside of his car, leading to the confrontation between the pair.

In just a day, the post gained over 20,000 votes—with seemingly one unanimous deciding conclusion. In the post, the anonymous man explained that his 23-year-old stepson, whose name has been changed by Newsweek to James, recently got engaged to his fiancée who comes from a “highly conservative family and they both won’t live together until after marriage....

This result puts both these sides on equal points at the top of the group, although, England have played one fewer game. Led by Harry Kane, England got off to the dream start as the forward put Raheem Sterling through on goal early in the game and Manchester City winger was brought down in the box. Kane’s faultless penalty gave his side a lead which they couldn’t hold on to for long as only in the 9th minute the Czech would equalise from a corner....
