The Arizona Coyotes renounced their rights Thursday to a 2020 draft pick after saying they learned more about his bullying of a black classmate with developmental disabilities four years ago. The team parted ways with Mitchell Miller, 18, after taking criticism for selecting him in the fourth round earlier this month despite knowing of his 2016 assault conviction. Arizona acknowledged it knew about the incident when it selected Miller 111th overall. 'We do not condone this type of behavior but embraced this as a teachable moment to work with Mitchell to make him accountable for his actions and provide him with an opportunity to be a leader on anti-bullying and anti-racism efforts,' President and CEO Xavier Gutierrez said.  'We have learned more about the entire matter, and more importantly, the impact it has had on Isaiah and the Meyer-Crothers family. What we learned does not align with the core values and vision for our organization and leads to our decision to renounce o

Glenn Greenwald on Thursday night. He resigned from The Intercept  Glenn Greenwald has posted the article The Intercept refused to publish in which he slams the media for their 'obvious' bias towards Joe Biden and has also released the emails with his editors in which they told him to edit the piece to make it less suggestive that Biden has ever acted unethically.  Greenwald resigned from The Intercept- the website he co-founded - this week after a row over the article.  It started with a recent story by The New York Post about Hunter Biden, his emails to a Ukrainian businessman and the suggestion that Hunter introduced that businessman to his father Joe when Joe was the Vice President, at a time when Hunter was also on the businessman's payroll.   It raises serious questions about whether Biden used his influence as Vice President unethically because, in the months after the purported meeting, he pressured Ukrainian officials into firing a prosecutor who was pushing down o

President Donald Trump raged at the Supreme Court Friday after it ruled officials in Pennsylvania and North Carolina could count mail-in ballots which arrive after the election, arguing the election should end on November 3.  'This decision is CRAZY and so bad for our Country. Can you imagine what will happen during that nine day period. The Election should END on November 3rd,' he tweeted. That was after a similar tweet sent just before 3am accusing the Supreme Court of helping Biden to victory - which he called 'ridiculous.' Voting does end on November 3. But ballot counting can go on for several days depending on turn out and how late voting went. Legally, states have to let anyone who is in line to vote by poll closing time cast their ballot. Complicating matters this year is the high number of mail-in ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many states are accepting ballots as long as they are postmarked by Election Day - meaning the tabulation of results could go
