The deal has proven beneficial to both sides, although not to the American public. Campaign spending has soared, while corporate taxes have shriveled. In the 1950s, corporations accounted for about 40 percent of federal revenue. Today, they contribute a meager 7 percent. Last year, more than 50 of the largest U.S. companies paid no federal income taxes at all. Many haven’t paid taxes for years. Both parties have been in on this deal, although the GOP has been the bigger player....

Unfortunately, Corpse may not have it in him to continue streaming the way he does. The YouTuber revealed that he suffers from chronic illnesses that leave him in constant pain and that streaming aggravates them. He can only stick to playing more lax games because of this, such as the OfflineTV Rust server and the other previously mentioned. However, even this is still taxing because he struggles with light sensitivity, so staring at a screen for more than five minutes damages his eyes....

Corpse Husband started his career on YouTube by making videos about creepy stories from real-life, and scary things people have run into on the internet. He has hosted a few streams on YouTube in the past, but with Among Us’ increasing popularity, his content shifted to focusing on that almost exclusively as other content creators streamed playing the game with him on Twitch.

Touring: A beguiling warren of narrow lanes, canals, and tiny bridges, Amsterdam is perfect for a meandering stroll. For the complete tour, choose from two options: bicycle or boat. Almost everyone rides a bike in Amsterdam, and renting one is easy. The city is as cycling-friendly as they come, with a network of designated lanes and parking, and the old prewar-style bicycles that dominate the lanes will take you back to another time....

Even though there’s some new Silent Hill action coming our way soon as well, fans of the old school, who may be a bit leery of the new hotness due to some of the recent Silent Hill entries, will likely be pleased at being able to tread carefully through the classics. With new Resident Evil titles on the way, as well as a spiritual successor to Fatal Frame coming for the 3DS, and now this collection, perhaps survival horror will make a comeback....

The Netherlands international has faced criticism this season for his performances with the Camp Nou side as Barca continues to struggle in La Liga and recently suffered elimination in the UEFA Champions League. De Jong, 24, has been highlighted by the Spanish media as one player who could be sold to help solve the club’s financial crisis, and his father says there is a lot of interest in him....

Monkeypox, a virus that causes an infectious body rash, amongst other symptoms, occurs primarily in West and Central Africa. This year, for the first time ever, it has begun spreading around the world and infecting people with no travel links to Africa. Many of the current monkeypox cases have affected communities of men who have sex with men (MSM), with these communities in particular being prioritized for vaccines in the U....

Tech giants such as Facebook and Microsoft have presented their version of what the metaverse would look like. The internet has made our lives easier, and the metaverse would undoubtedly bring innovation to the internet. But with the benefits come a new set of challenges. What Is the Metaverse? The concept of metaverse became popular after Facebook rebranded itself as Meta. The metaverse or meta-universe is essentially a digital universe....

The Texas survey, which was conducted by Public Policy Polling and Emily’s List from June 24 and 25 and published Thursday, showed Biden narrowly ahead of the incumbent president by 2 points. Trump was backed by just 46 percent of Texas respondents while his Democratic rival was supported by 48 percent. An additional 5 percent of respondents were “not sure” who they’d vote for. Trump’s approval rating in Texas also appears to be unimpressive, with the poll showing that 51 percent of voters disapprove of the job the president is doing....

Worcestershire got off to the kind of flyer that we enjoyed in 2012 and it continued, largely because of the phenomenal returns of Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal. Win the toss, bat then win on the last day was the obvious route to success and Ajmal bowled with great stamina and no little skill for them until he had to return home for international action. The irony of his action subsequently being called into question - not for the first time - is not lost and there is no doubt that they were a stronger side with him in it, as any would be, of course....

It is hard to be anything but impressed by the noises coming from Derbyshire County Cricket Club as we prepare for the first day proper of the county season. There’s a fully fit squad of players to choose from for starters, impressive work by James Pipe after the scene from Casualty that was the Barbados tour. Niggles and injuries to the likes of Jonathan Clare, Dan Redfern and David Wainwright have gone, the skipper’s hamstring is fine and our two key seamers, Dino and Timmy G are fit and firing....

The new owners, named Kathryn and Phil, purchased a sprawling manor in England, and have been slowly “restoring its Victorian grandeur.” The pair have been sharing the transformation on their TikTok account, and their Instagram page, including what’s arguably one of their biggest projects to date. The 1,200 square foot property—and grounds—has retained what appears to be the original, intricately tiled floor which was covered up for years. Kathryn discovered the beautiful flooring after innocently deciding to see what lay beneath their red carpet, leading to an extensive two-year restoration project....

In the video, found here, Ashton—known on the app as @repulsivelyflamboyant—explained that his grandfather died of COVID-19. Soon after, he and his husband “found out he had a dog” that was “going to put down.” The incident speaks to an often-overlooked aspect of the pandemic—the pets that are left behind when their owners become seriously ill or die. As noted by a New York Times article from the early months of the pandemic: “Pet owners who have died of the virus have left behind dogs, guinea pigs and cats, at least one of which starved to death before anyone had checked the owner’s apartment....

This article explains the factors that may affect outcomes for people who are living with CHF. It talks about steps you can take to reduce some of the risk factors that can lead to poor outcomes.

Lamont, like the governors of several other states and cities, ordered the closure of bars, restaurants, gyms and movie theaters on Monday morning. Speaking to CNN on Monday as well, the Democratic governor said he and the leaders of other states had “stepped up” to tackle the crisis, suggesting there was a lack of leadership from the federal government. “Look, I don’t know where the federal government was. We should have been doing this, you know, eight weeks ago,” he said, discussing the lack of testing for coronavirus nationwide....

The Russian president’s decree to partially mobilize his nation’s population for the war has brought international condemnation, nationwide protests and an exodus of Russians desperate to flee the country. The conscription order affects reservists and ex-military personnel with “certain military specialties and relevant experience.” While the Russian military said that those studying full time would not be called up, mobilization officers reportedly arrived at a university in the nation’s far east to enlist students....

Even if Trump loses in the end, his performance ought to prompt some soul-searching for Democrats who expected Biden to win in a landslide; this election was not a resounding national rejection of whatever it is Trump stood for. But it should raise even more questions for conservatives who supported him in hopes of moving the GOP in a more “Trumpist”—meaning a populist or nationalist—direction. Numerous right-of-center writers and thinkers spent Trump’s term interpreting 2016 as a new model for conservative politics....

A month ago, part of the stadium in Sao Paolo, where the World Cup opener is to be held, collapsed, taking the lives of two construction workers. According to the report, the worker fell 115 feet from the roofing structure and was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

First-half goals from Dejan Lovren and Jordan Henderson, the latter’s strike a superb dipping effort from distance, proved enough for Friday’s visitors to Stamford Bridge, with Diego Costa’s subsequent response proving in vain for Chelsea. Former Italy boss Conte was frustrated by defensive lapses in the buildup to both Liverpool goals and was asked in his post-match news conference if the absence of veteran defender Terry, out with an ankle injury, had proven significant....
