Richard Daschbach served as a Catholic missionary in the country for decades. However, more than a dozen women came forward with allegations that he had sexually abused them when they were children. In total, Daschbach was charged with 14 counts of sexual abuse of children younger than 14 along with one charge each of child pornography and domestic violence. As a result of the accusations, he was officially defrocked by the Catholic Church in 2018....

Hunter systematically tried on and tossed the Auburn, Georgia and Florida State hats before catching one from the crowd. Hunter put on a Jackson State hat, and the crowd erupted enough to shake the online stream. It was a little after noon, but the Early Signing Period went Prime Time. The first Early Signing Day of the NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) era saw Jackson coach Deion Sanders bring the best recruit in the country to a HBCU (Historically black college and universities)....

When Manchester United beat Liverpool in March, however, one man’s epiphany rocked the German and European elite, but at the core of it was a very simple idea. That the idea, in its most basic expression, was what so thoroughly discomfited his side in United’s 2-1 win was telling, and greatly ironic. There may be little similarity between Klopp and Jose Mourinho stylistically, but both agree that transferring the ball into the final third quickly is the way to play....

Rain and thundershowers will create problems for the Coke Zero 400, the Sprint Cup race scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m. ET. Forecasts offer little hope of getting the race started on time.

BBC journalist Suzanne Kianpour tweeted a video that shows a passenger in a heated argument between a Delta employee wearing a mask and a woman in a red top with a mask around her neck. In the footage, the unidentified woman in red appears to step forward and strike the flight attendant in the face. A passenger is heard saying “she is in her face, oh Lord,” in the footage, before people shout “no” as the passenger in red launches for the flight attendant....

Milton resident Wenhuan Huang was outside doing work in the yard when the large, inflatable slide crashed through the branches of his Japanese maple tree and slammed into the ground, WCVB reported. Upon inspection of the strange object, Huang said he noticed the word “Boeing” written on it, indicating that it had come from a plane. “It’s kind of crazy,” Huang told WCVB. “Who could know there’s something coming from the air and [it] drops into my yard, right?...

The Eagles made one of the biggest free-agent signings of the offseason in bringing the NFL’s reigning rushing leader aboard. While Murray’s departure from Dallas did not sit well with many Cowboys fans, his father told the Dallas Morning News that the 27-year-old running back had to look after his best interests.

The 33-year-old midfielder announced recently that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, having spent his entire career at the Catalan club. And he will be sorely missed. Before kick-off in Barca’s rearranged league fixture on Wednesday, Iniesta was presented by a ceramic yellow submarine in a lovely gesture of respect by the visiting team. But he still sank Villarreal with some sublime stuff en route to an emphatic 5-1 win....

Although it has been clear for nearly three weeks that Trump lost the presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden, he has refused to concede. The president and his legal team have pushed unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud, without providing evidence. Trump and his supporters have repeatedly attacked Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who the president endorsed in 2018, blaming him for the fact that more Georgians voted for Biden....

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, has seemingly lost his grip on the race following a number of missteps on the campaign trail, with the Cook Political Report recently flipping the forecast for his race from a toss-up to a likely win for Democrat John Fetterman. Typically competitive states like Georgia and Arizona have failed to shift in either direction—even as history dictates the minority party typically has an advantage in midterm races—while Republicans’ safe advantage in states like Utah have shown cracks as incumbents like Senator Mike Lee faces a formidable challenge from independent candidate Evan McMullin—a moderate in the style of Senators Joe Manchin and Mitt Romney—who has been endorsed by Democrats....

David Gergen, who was an adviser to former Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, spoke to Newsweek ahead of Saturday’s caucuses with Sanders enjoying a commanding lead in the polls. Other campaigns have reportedly already accepted they cannot defeat the 78-year-old in the Silver State. There is then only one more contest—South Carolina—before 14 states and one U.S. territory have their say on March 3....

Bush (equal) Good news: Will finally announce new Iraq strategy. Bad news: His “surge” plan probably won’t work. Pelosi (up) First woman Speaker ever. CW liked the kids at the swearing-in.

That’s because Theresa Greenfield, a businesswoman and political newcomer, is mounting a serious challenge to GOP incumbent Joni Ernst. The latest survey from The Des Moines Register showed the Democrat ahead, 46 to 43 percent. It also found that Ernst’s favorability has dropped considerably since last year. But Iowa Republicans say Greenfield is out of step with the community and a puppet for the Democratic establishment. In a recent video message inviting Greenfield to debate, Ernst claimed she hasn’t heard her opponent “say one thing that Chuck Schumer hasn’t told her to say....

Abrams, the former state House of Representatives minority leader, aims to unseat incumbent GOP Governor Brian Kemp in what is shaping up to be a tight race. Abrams previously unsuccessfully ran against Kemp in 2018 during his first gubernatorial bid. She ultimately lost by a margin of about 1.4 percent or just under 55,000 votes. Meanwhile, Warnock is defending his Georgia Senate seat against former football star Herschel Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell....

The New York Times called the law “the most extensive restriction of voting access in generations and a “breathtaking assertion of partisan power in elections,” while President Biden slanderously labeled the law “Jim Crow on steroids.” Long-time observers of The New York Times and Joe Biden will not be surprised to learn that virtually every attack they make is wrong, unsupported or misleading. This bill expands early voting by requiring weekend early voting for a minimum of 17 days....

The polling average shows Democrats’ currently have the support of 44.3 percent of voters in the midterms, while 43.6 percent of voters back Republicans. The slight lead comes after the Democratic Party had trailed the GOP in congressional polling for months. In late July, however, Democrats began closing the gap for the first time since late last year....

Dempsey made his 41st World Cup qualifying appearance for the USA, as he looks to take part in his fourth World Cup next summer in Russia. The Seattle Sounders man may not hold the record for long, however, with Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley right behind him. Dempsey can break another of Donovan’s records if he scores against the Catrachos, as the two players are tied for the most all-time USMNT goals with 57 apiece....

Hoyer, who is House majority leader, told Reverend Al Sharpton on the latter’s MSNBC show Sunday that Trump would be treated like “any other citizen that refuses to testify.” The Select Committee voted unanimously to issue a subpoena compelling the former president to testify under oath, but Trump may choose to fight the subpoena in court. Sharpton mentioned to Hoyer that two members of the committee—Adam Kinzinger and Stephanie Murphy—said that the panel “has yet to determine its next steps if Donald Trump does not comply with its subpoena....

Richards, 51, defended 18-year-old daughter Sam “Sami” Sheen earlier this month, after Charlie Sheen, 56, criticized her decision to join the platform, which is popular with adult entertainers and those wishing to monetize nude and scantily-clad images. Less than two weeks after the brief spat with her former husband, to whom she was married between 2002 and 2006, Richards has now revealed that she’s venturing into the OnlyFans world herself....

The defenseman was originally suspended 20 games for hitting linesman Don Henderson during a Jan. 27 game. It was cut to 10 games by independent arbitrator James Oldham, who determined Wideman showed no ill intent when making contact with the official.
