Podcast co-hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton blasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's vaccine passport policy Tuesday saying it would disproportionately affect black and Hispanic New Yorkers. Additionally they argued the policy runs counter to Democrats' traditional opposition to voter identification laws, which require people to show up to the polls with identification to vote.  Earlier de Blasio announced that starting August 16, indoor businesses will require customers to show proof of vaccination or otherwise turn them away.  Speaking on their podcast The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show they said that with low vaccination rates among black and Latinos in the city, 69% of African Americans and 58% of Latinos would be ineligible to eat in a restaurant, go to a gym or perhaps even go to their jobs  Podcast co-hosts Buck Sexton and Clay Travis blasted Mayor Bill de Blasio's vaccine passport policy Tuesday, saying it would disproportionately affect black and Hispanic N

Decathlon star Ash Moloney was roared across the line by his injured countryman Cedric Dubler to win Australia's first athletics medal of the Tokyo Games. Battling Moloney, 21, took bronze in the decathlon but owed it in huge part to the ferocious encouragement of Dubler who pushed him past his limits in the 1500m. Dubler, 26, was out of medals contention after injuring his hamstring during the competition.  But he made sure his Brisbane training partner remained in the running all the way to the finishing line of the 1500m final event of the decathlon. Decathlon star Ash Moloney was roared across the line by his injured countryman Cedric Dubler to win Australia's first athletics medal of the Tokyo Games 'He was screaming,' Moloney told Channel Seven after the race.  'I can't repeat what he said.

Houston Astros pitching legend J.R. Richard died Wednesday night at a Houston hospital at age 71. The 6-foot-8 right-hander played with the club from 1971-80 before his career was cut short when he suffered a stroke while playing catch at the Astrodome at age 30. He was rushed to a hospital and had emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his neck, but never returned to baseball.    'He had the greatest stuff I have ever seen,' the late Hall of Famer Joe Morgan once said.

A brother and sister have won a legal battle over multimillion-pound company Oatly over a claim their PureOaty oat milk drink infringed their trademark.   Oatly had brought legal action against Glebe Farm Foods, a Cambridgeshire-based company that specialises in producing gluten-free oats, accusing them of attempting to take 'unfair advantage' of Oatly's trademarks with their oat drink called 'PureOaty'. Glebe Farm Foods, run by brother and sister Philip and Rebecca Rayner, denied the claims and in a judgment on Thursday, Judge Nicholas Caddick QC ruled in favour of the siblings. During a two-day hearing in June, the High Court in London heard that the farming company launched an oat milk in 2019 called 'Oat Drink', before launching the rebranded 'PureOaty' in 2020. Oatly's lawyers argued that Glebe Farm Foods had infringed five of their firm's trademarks with the 'PureOaty' name and the drink's packaging, as well as 'passing

Authorities in San Diego relied on a combination of advanced DNA testing and genetic genealogy to solve a 1980 cold-case murder of a local college student, identifying the suspected killer as a US Air Force veteran. But for 20-year-old Michelle Wyatt and her family there will be no justice served because John Patrick Hogan, the man who police say strangled the young woman with a telephone cord after raping her, died of a drug overdose in 2004. He was 42 years old.   On Wednesday, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department announced the major break in the Wyatt case, which has been 40 years in the making. Hogan, who was 18 years old at the time of the killing and likely did not know Wyatt, was identified as the suspect after investigators matched hitherto unknown DNA that was collected at the crime scene using commercial genetic genealogy sites, according to a press release. Authorities in San Diego identified the late John Patrick Hogan as the man who they say raped and killed Mich

A dead heiress who was once one of the world's wealthiest women is facing a posthumous murder probe after a former paper boy came forward to say he'd seen her deliberately drive over her designer friend in 1966.  Bob Walker, a 68-year-old Marine Corps veteran, prompted police in Newport, Rhode Island to reopen their probe into the horrific death of Eduardo Tirella. Tirella is believed to have been crushed by Doris Duke with her two ton station wagon after telling her he was leaving to seek fame and fortune on the west coast. Walker, who was 13 years old at the time of the crash, decided share his account of events with authorities after reading Peter Lance's meticulously researched book 'Homicide at Rough Point', released in February, which investigated Tirella's killing. His version of events lines up almost exactly with Lance's theory on Duke's alleged crime. She died in 1993.    According to the former paperboy, he was on his bike delivering The Newpo

A Cambridge University graduate recorded himself downplaying his Covid symptoms and telling viewers the disease was not to be feared days before the virus claimed his life. Solicitor Leslie Lawrenson, 58, died at his home in Bournemouth, Dorset, just nine days after releasing footage to Facebook explaining why Covid-19 was 'nothing to be afraid of'.
