SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Minutes after Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden bungled his closing statement in Wednesday’s debate by telling voters to go to a campaign website that did not exist, a college student was using the URL for a spoof election bid. Biden misspoke by directing viewers to “go to Joe30330” rather than “text JOE to 30330,” setting off a flurry of jokes on Twitter about the 76-year-old’s ineptitude with technology and a digital race to buy...

The song is a glittery pop banger swirling with 80s-inspired synths and catchy hooks. Lyrically, it speaks of overcoming heartbreak and becoming the person you’re meant to be, with a message of hope for the future. “Look At Me Now is about coming out on top after ending a bad relationship, about wanting something better for yourself and the reaction of friends and lovers who don’t understand why you want that,” explain Futuretape. “It’s also about being proud and about how...

The two had been lifelong friends growing up together in the Little Village neighborhood. So Pottow helped organize the wedding. Although the...

“Faggots.” It was mumbled just quietly enough that only I could hear it. Although it was not directed at me, it still felt like a slap to the face. The slur was uttered by my doubles partner to demean our opponents, in response to being annoyed by them. This summer, I am on multiple USTA teams for the tennis club where I am coaching. For a recent match, one of...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tom Barrack, a billionaire friend of U.S. President Donald Trump, pursued a plan to buy Westinghouse Electric Corp even as he lobbied Trump to become a special envoy to promote the building by the firm of nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia, said a congressional report released on Monday.
