“Iraq-gate”–a term created by the Democrats-is a complicated story with plenty of blame to go around. It begins in the early 1980s, after the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution in Iran, and it ends on or about the day, Aug. 2, 1990, that Iraq’s tanks rolled into Kuwait. It involves billions of dollars in U.S. loan guarantees, a major bank scandal and some of the biggest names in the Republican foreign-policy establishment....
Tosun joined Everton in January after impressing over the previous year-and-a-half with Besiktas in Turkey. Scoring goals had been identified as Everton’s biggest problem in the first half of the season following the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, with the club then shelling out for Turkey international Tosun, who netted eight in 12 league starts for Besiktas before leaving. But by no means has he swiftly established himself in the starting XI at Goodison Park, starting just two Premier League games and failing to score....
Picked out by Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the stroke of half-time, the 31-year-old immediately delivered on his highly romanticised return with the only goal of a cagey encounter. Everton 20/1 to win Europa League The well-taken header lifted Rooney’s Premier League haul to 199 goals and set Everton’s new era into motion as five players made their top-flight debut for the Toffees. After enduring a tough end to his time with Manchester United, the former England captain is savouring a second chance with his boyhood club....
Having been drawn into the tricky Group F, which also includes Manchester City and Feyenoord, in the Champions League, the Serie A side could have done without a loss in their opening game. Napoli 11/2 to beat Benevento 3-0 But Shakhtar were good value for the three points as they netted through Taison and Facundo Ferreyra before Arkadiusz Milik’s penalty made a fight of the closing stages. Napoli had chances to grab an equaliser, but Insigne conceded his side made errors across the 90 minutes that they must now address....
Wenger warns Arsenal over Chelsea The Poland international thrived under Unai Emery at Sevilla and was signed for a reported €30million last July, shortly after Emery had taken charge at Parc des Princes.

ALTER: In the ‘92 campaign you focused like a laser on the economy. What’s the theme of this next election, if it’s not the economy? CLINTON: I would run on dealing with the aging of America, making dramatic changes to give all kids a world-class education, dealing with all the remaining challenges of family and work, which are basically health care, child care, family and medical leave, related things. I would run on making America the safest big country in the world....
Goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante did the damage as Mourinho lost on his return to his former club at Stamford Bridge. Conte was his typical exuberant self as Chelsea destroyed Mourinho’s men to record its third straight Premier League win, celebrating Kante’s strike wildly in the dugout area in particular. And as Mourinho and Conte embraced at the end of the match, the former appeared to criticize his opposite number’s antics as the fourth goal went in....

As has been well documented, what followed was an unprecedented series of events for the show, with Richards losing his roles as both host and executive producer within days, amid backlash over comments he made on a now-defunct podcast....

The France international has already achieved cult hero status at the Etihad Stadium on the back of a £49 million summer switch from Monaco. His activity on social media has endeared him to the City faithful, while his performances on the field were positive until suffering an untimely setback against Crystal Palace on September 23.

Fiddlesticks’ rework is finally coming to League of Legends. The scarecrow that’s been haunting matches since the game’s launch over a decade ago has aged fairly poorly. While other champions have received updates to their models and abilities to bring them into the modern Summoner’s Rift, Fiddlesticks has remained the same. He’s still tied together with a few sticks and won’t stop making Wizard of Oz jokes. He’s been in dire need for a rework and visual update, and now he’s finally getting one....
