Atletico Madrid Will Not Stop In Pursuit Of Barcelona Promises Gameiro

Atletico struggled to break down a stubborn Athletic at the Wanda Metropolitano before Simeone turned to Gameiro as his second substitute, taking off Koke and reconfiguring his side’s attack.

America Faces An Epidemic Of Senseless Gun Violence Opinion

I am a gun owner. I’ve been the lead advocate for gun violence prevention here in Massachusetts. In 1994, I realized that 19 kids under 20 years old were dying every day, and 106 Americans dying every day, from firearms. So I built a 250-foot billboard of the Massachusetts Turnpike near Fenway Park and put up messages around gun safety. Since that point in Massachusetts, we’ve reduced gun deaths by 40 percent....

America Needs Smart Supply Chains Not Isolationism Opinion

The pandemic has shown that when it comes to semiconductors, personal protective equipment or vaccines, America’s supply is vulnerable. The isolationism President Joe Biden is calling for, saying, “We shouldn’t have to rely on a foreign country,” has its limits.
