Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds rejected comedian Bill Maher's claims that Donalds lost key counties in the recent primary in part due to the racism within the state.
Appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday night, Donalds, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, pushed back on Maher's **** ertion that he lost parts of Florida's Panhandle because of the area's predominantly White electorate.
"You did lose the 'Redneck Riviera' badly," Maher said, referring to Donalds' losses in Calhoun, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hardee, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Liberty, Madison, Suwannee, Taylor, Union and Washington counties, rural counties where roughly 94% of Republican voters are White.

Sarah Ferguson is preparing to return to the United Kingdom after months abroad.
A spokesperson for the former ******* ss of York has not commented, but ABC News understands she will be moving back to the U.K. soon.
The reported return would mark another change for Ferguson who has largely stayed out of the public spotlight in recent months.

The Sun first reported that Ferguson is returning to Britain and is renting a six-bedroom gated property in the Home Counties, the region surrounding London. Other U.K. outlets have since reported on her expected return.

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly set to return to Britain after living overseas amid the fallout over her and ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with convicted US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
King Charles III's former sister-in-law is renting a six-bedroom gated property in the Home Counties, according to The Sun newspaper.
The former ***** ss of York, 66, lost her ***** le in October alongside Andrew after revelations over their links to the late financier.
Sarah used to live with Andrew at his former home Royal Lodge, but he was forced to vacate the premises and move to Marsh Farm on the king's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
She could "imminently" move into a new home, which has three bathrooms and a "granny annexe," according to the newspaper.

The former **** ss of York is expected "back in the UK shortly", a source close to her has told the BBC.
Sarah Ferguson was thought to be living abroad after she was forced to move out of Royal Lodge in Windsor, which she shared with her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in October.
Ferguson had last seen in public at the **** ss of Kent's funeral the previous month.
She is reportedly renting out a gated property in the Home Counties, according to the Sun newspaper.
Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson relinquished their royal **** les following increased scrutiny and revelations surrounding their links to disgraced financier and **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is set to make her big return to the UK, according to reports.
Six months after her eviction from Royal Lodge in February, the former **** ss of York is, according to the Sun, going to be moving into a rented £10,000-a-month gated property in the Home Counties.
The publication didn't report exactly where Sarah, 66, will be residing, but that she could be moving into the six-bedroom property as soon as Monday.
Her return to the UK comes after she left the UK seven months ago amid the fallout of her ex-husband Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein and his subsequent arrest on his 66th birthday.
Sarah's new house is reported to have three bathrooms and a "granny annexe."

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms highlighted her past move to cut ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2018 as mayor of Atlanta, prompting a strong rebuke from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday.
As Bottoms gave the keynote speech at a Democratic fundraiser in Dalton, Georgia, the former Biden official, now running for governor in the Peach State, spoke about refusing to cooperate with ICE during President Donald Trump's first term.
In her speech, she recalled her musician father's struggle with addiction, saying that her first tour around Georgia was visiting him at various prisons. She said this helped teach her the value of "seeing the humanity in people" even those who have made mistakes or "had a different pathway to this country."
"When I was mayor of Atlanta, when ICE had the family separation policy in our state, in our nation, I made the decision to end our multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement with ICE because all money ain't good money," Bottoms said. "And when we did that, other cities followed, counties followed, other states followed and it made a difference."

Aug 16 (Reuters) - More than 180,000 utility customers remained without power across Hawaii on Sunday afternoon after Hurricane Lala brushed ‌the Big Island before being downgraded to a tropical storm.
Some 183,123 customers ‌across Hawaii were without power as of 3:30 p.m. HST (0130 GMT), according to poweroutage.us.Outages in Oahu, the most populated island, had dropped from more than 220,000 to about 130,000 as of Sunday morning, state officials said during a press conference.
State officials received reports of at least 100 homes damaged, Hawaii Governor Josh Green said on Sunday.
At 2 p.m. HST (0000 GMT) Lala was moving ‌west toward southwest Kauai County ⁠at about 20 mph (31 kph) with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph, just below the hurricane threshold of 73 mph, according to the ⁠latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for Kauai county, although those warnings for Maui and Oahu counties were discontinued earlier on Sunday, according to the hurricane center.

Medicare Advantage plans are shrinking.
Last month, Humana (HUM) announced that it will exit some Medicare Advantage plans for next year, forcing more than half a million seniors to find a new health plan.
The reason for the coverage cutback: high costs and slimmer profit margins in certain markets, according to Humana CFO Celeste Mellet.
It's the second year in a row of plan downsizing for Humana. This year, the company exited three states and 194 counties, affecting around 500,000 members. UnitedHealthcare (UNH) also jettisoned Medicare Advantage plans that served more than 600,000 seniors.
According to KFF research, the percentage of Medicare Advantage enrollees who faced terminated plans this year reached 60% or higher in Wyoming, South Dakota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Vermont.

It's the dog days of August in Florida, so there's not exactly a nip in the air yet.
But make no mistake: The start of high school football in the Sunshine State is here.
After a couple of weeks of practice, with kickoff classics arriving soon and the opening week of the Florida High School Athletic **** ociation regular season set for Aug. 21, the Times-Union previews 18 of the can't-miss matchups across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. This list includes at least one game from every week on the schedule.
As a further twist, no team can appear here more than twice, which means some quality contests didn't make the final cut.
All of the games on this list will match teams located either within Jacksonville's city limits or in nearby counties, so several important contests against opponents from outside the area aren't listed here.

Watford sporting director Luke Dowling says the club are in "regular" talks with Manchester City over re-signing defender Stephen Mfuni on loan and hinted striker Nestory Irankunda could leave the club this month.
Mfuni, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Hornets, has featured for City on their pre-season tour of Asia.
He played 45 minutes in City's 1-1 draw with Inter Milan before being replaced at half-time by fellow former Watford loanee Max Alleyne - as well as the whole second half of City's 3-1 win against a K-League XI in Seoul on Wednesday.
"Everyone who watched Watford play last year in the games when Mfuni, especially, played, it wouldn't surprise me with Man City losing Nathan Ake this year, if they kept him around," Dowling told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"He's left-footed like Ake, he can play left-back, he can play left centre-half, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Whilst I’m a County Durham lad by birth, work and wanderlust have taken me to every compass point of Britain. And everywhere I’ve lived, I’ve worn the Sunderland badge with pride.
A couple of years ago, family wishes took Mrs L and me to Hertfordshire. The Home Counties. Shock horror. Wilstone, population 341. Quintessentially English. A church, a community shop and a pub. If Carlsberg designed villages….
Whenever you move somewhere new, you don’t know a soul. So my integration plan is, and always has been, to head to the local pub. In Wilstone, it’s The Half Moon, a traditional inn with old wooden beams, excellent Tring Brewery ales and a classic cast of characters. It’s very much like Cheers. After a while, everyone knows your name… and your football club.
It struck me one afternoon that everyone supported different clubs, yet somehow they were all telling the same football story.
The landlord is Guy. Passionately patriotic and loyal to the blue and white hoops of QPR. Mention Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh or Gerry Francis and Guy disappears into Shepherd’s Bush nostalgia. One afternoon, he scurried into the back room to find an old, dusty programme from QPR v Sunderland in 1962. The glory days were a long time ago… will they ever return, he wondered? I understood what he meant. There was a time when I wondered whether we’d ever get out of League One.

Limerick are back in the All-Ireland hurling final for the first time since 2023 as they edged out Clare 1-21 to 1-19 in a thriller at Croke Park.
John Kiely's side saw their five-in-a-row dream dashed at the same stage two years ago, and lost at the quarter-final stage last year, but there was no mistake this time around as they found the answers when Tony Kelly's goal from a 55th-minute penalty left them six back.
Perhaps Clare felt there could have been a greater punishment for Limerick goalkeeper Nickie Quaid, whose last-man challenge on Peter Duggan may have earned black instead of yellow, but Clare failed to add to their tally for the rest of the game.
Faced with adversity, Limerick held their nerve as they have done so in the past, with Aidan O'Connor's 70th minute goal proving the key moment of an absorbing contest.
With league and Munster ****** les already banked in 2026, the Treaty treble remains on course as they put the Banner to the sword, turning the tables from the counties' last meeting at this stage in 2013 when Clare prevailed on their way to that year's ****** le.

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A wildfire burning southwest of Denver has forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and destroyed more than 160 structures by Friday as erratic winds pushed the blaze across two Colorado counties.
The Aspen Acres fire is one of about 40 uncontained large blazes burning mostly in the West, fueled by months of dry weather and a record lack of snow this past winter in some places.
Fire personnel were scooping water from the Pueblo Reservoir to fight Aspen Acres fire, which expanded overnight by 17 square miles (44 square kilometers) which brought it up to nearly 105 square miles (272 square kilometers) by Friday with zero containment.
All of Colorado City, an unincorporated community of about 2,200, was ordered evacuated as well as the towns of Beulah, Rye and San Isabel, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
About 50 National Guard soldiers were being sent in Friday to help with staffing checkpoints on roads in Custer and Pueblo counties.

Earlier on June 9, Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA) revealed that the company is undertaking a major network expansion across two Wisconsin counties, extending multi-gigabit symmetrical internet connectivity to more than 5,500 residential and business locations.
The ongoing expansion project will cover 300 miles. Initial customer serviceability is projected somewhere near the end of 2026, with the broader infrastructure build-out slated for completion by the end of 2027.

England stars Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been pulled out of their ongoing County Championship matches after a request from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), a move that has fuelled speculation that both players could return for the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge next week.

Neither Stokes nor Atkinson played in the second Test after they breached the team curfew while celebrating England's victory in the series opener at Lord's.

With stand-in captain Joe Root leading an inexperienced side, England struggled against New Zealand at The Oval and faced a difficult final day.

Before being withdrawn, both players had impressed for their counties.

Stokes turned out for Durham against Northamptonshire and bowled 25 overs on Friday before smashing 95 runs in an entertaining knock on Saturday. National selector Marcus North was among those watching his performance.

Atkinson also made his presence felt for Surrey against Glamorgan, claiming four wickets for 61 runs.

Following the ECB's request, Stokes was replaced by Colin Ackermann in Durham's playing XI, while Tom Lawes came in for Atkinson at Surrey.
Although England head coach Brendon McCullum had earlier voiced concerns over Stokes's mindset, Durham coach Ryan Campbell offered a different view.

"All I have seen is the same old Ben Stokes who loves being the Durham dressing room, who loves being around a cricket ground and who hasn’t missed a beat," he added.

According to reports in the English media, the ECB is still investigating the pair's breach of curfew, and no decision has been announced yet.

Likewise, England's squad for the third Test has not been confirmed. Any update on the matter is expected only after the conclusion of the second Test at The Oval.

Meanwhile, England suffered a crushing 253-run defeat to New Zealand at The Oval, squandering the momentum from their Lord's victory as the series was levelled 1-1 ahead of the decisive third Test in Nottingham.

The most significant seismic event in California's history – an earthquake of 7.9 magnitude – occurred in 1857 and ruptured about 225 miles on the San Andreas Fault. That earthquake, dubbed the last "Big One," killed two people and produced shaking that lasted between one and three minutes.
Since then, California has exploded in population and has been rattled by many major earthquakes, some far more deadly and similarly strong. But Californians have also grown familiar with the existential dread of another "Big One" looming.
Researchers have long warned there will be another massive earthquake in Southern California. They just don't know when.
A recent study says warning signs continue to grow in 2026. The San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems have reached the highest stress levels seen in the past 1,000 years, according to a study conducted at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
The San Andreas fault runs throughout the state, passing through San Francisco and San Bernardino, while the San Jacinto fault is in Southern California and runs through Riverside, San Diego and Imperial Counties.

A coalition of civil rights groups on Tuesday asked a state judge to order one of New York's largest suburban counties to stop its deployment of nearly 600 license plate readers, calling it a warrantless and "indiscriminate surveillance system" that violates the state constitution.
The class action lawsuit also alleged that Westchester County never got proper authorization to launch the program, which has amassed a database of 1.6 billion plate scans that has been shared with more than 50 outside law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The complaint said the network "records the long-term travel patterns, daily habits, and intimate information of millions of law-abiding New Yorkers and other motorists who travel through Westchester."
"In a democracy, a police department cannot unilaterally decide — without legislative authorization — to surveil the daily movements of its own citizens without any real accountability, transparency, or oversight," said Barry Friedman, founder and faculty director of the Policing Project at NYU School of Law, which brought the suit on behalf of four motorists. "This indiscriminate data surveillance must not be allowed to continue in the dark."
"Westchester County has not yet received or reviewed the lawsuit referenced," a spokesperson for the county said.
The widespread use of license plate reader systems, which utilize a system of cameras to scan and record motorists' license plate information, has generated controversy. The ****** ociated Press in November reported that the U.S. Border Patrol was running a secretive license plate reader program that singled drivers out over their travel patterns, prompting a complaint from congressional Democrats that the program may be unlawful.

In some ways, Mexican food has actually become as American as apple pie.
Mexican culture is widely established in America’s restaurants. Some 11% of restaurants in the United States serve Mexican food, according to a Pew Research Center ***** ysis of data from SafeGraph, which curates information about millions of places of interest around the globe, and the user review site Yelp.
And while Texas and California have the most Mexican restaurants, most of the United States has access to the cuisine.
"This ***** ysis finds that 85% of U.S. counties have at least one Mexican restaurant. In turn, the counties that don’t have Mexican restaurants tend to have small populations. The 15% of counties without any Mexican restaurants have about 4 million people living in them. That is just 1% of the total U.S. population," according to Pew Research.
The popularity of Mexican cuisine, however, has made the ***** e incredibly competitive. It has led to many chains growing, then stumbling and closing restaurants. El Torito, for example, grew to nearly 200 locations in the late '80s, and after recent closures, it's down to only 21, according to its website.
