Judge reinstates Trump gag order in Jan. 6 case

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case has reinstated the gag order she imposed following a stay. The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case has reinstated the gag order she imposed over Trump after temporarily halting the limited gag order earlier this month. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, on Friday, Oct. 20, temporarily halted the limited gag order she had placed on the former president earlier in the week following his appeal. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations," trying to enlist the vice president to "alter the election results," and promoting false claims of a stolen election as the Jan. 6 riot raged -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power. This is a de...

Thousands loot UN aid warehouses in Gaza as desperation grows and Israel widens ground offensive

A U.N. agency says thousands of people have broken into aid warehouses in Gaza to take flour and basic hygiene products DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip -- Thousands of people broke into aid warehouse s in Gaza to take flour and basic hygiene products, a U.N. agency said Sunday, in a mark of growing desperation and the breakdown of public order three weeks into the war between Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers. Tanks and infantry pushed into Gaza over the weekend as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a “second stage” in the war, three weeks after Hamas launched a brutal incursion into Israel. The widening ground offensive came as Israel also pounded the territory from air, land and sea. The bombardment — described by Gaza residents as the most intense of the war — knocked out most communications in the territory late Friday, largely cutting off the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people from the world. Communications were restored to much of Gaza early Sunday. The I...

Bears vs Chargers prop betting picks: Two best bets for SNF

Sunday Night Football in Week 8 was gracious enough to give us the Chicago Bears vs Los Angeles Chargers matchup we all wanted to end our Sunday. Fresh off his first win, rookie Division 2 QB Tyson Bagent leads the Bears against a reeling Chargers team who have stumbled out of the gate, dropping 2 straight to fall to 2-4 on the season. This is a get-right Game for Justin Herbert & co, but I expect the Bears to put up a fight with Bagent under center. You can read all of our Week 8 NFL predictions , but now let’s look at my favorite NFL player props for SNF. Austin Ekeler (LAC) over 31.5 receiving yards (-110) Line available on Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.  Outside of last week’s game against the Chiefs, Austin Ekeler has hit this number easily in 2 of 3 games this season. He’s a career 8.9 yards per reception RB who gets a consistent 4 receptions per game. The Chargers do not need to get cute this Sunday as falling to 2-5 would be disastrous and getting Eke...
