In an interview to promote her new book, The Reckoning, Mary Trump told MSNBC that her uncle had exploited racial tensions within the country and his continued popularity and influence in the party showed the effectiveness of appealing to American people’s “worst instincts.” As such, the language of compromise from the Democrats would no longer work in the new political landscape, she said as she described the racial aspect of the January 6 attacks on the the U....

The figures, presented by the Outbreak.Info project, which uses the GISAID virus database, shows that R.1 has had an estimated prevalence of just under 2 percent in Maryland overall, with 399 sequenced samples. The state is followed by West Virginia and Kentucky, both with an overall prevalence of more than 1 percent, but less than 1.5 percent. Interest in R.1 appears to have been sparked recently with reports highlighting a Kentucky nursing home outbreak that occurred back in March....

With so much uncertainty surrounding the injury to so many senior players, it might well be the right opportunity to give a chance to the youth from the academy to showcase their talent on the biggest stage. One of the players who should soon play in the highest level must be Mason Greenwood. The only genuine strikers in the senior squad right now are Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford. If there is a situation when there is a need for additional reinforcement in this area, Mason Greenwood is an option who must be tried....
Choosing Between Ashley and Kaidan (Mass Effect) The Mass Effect games are all about making big decisions that have a far-reaching impact on the universe, but one of the toughest decisions in the series is on a smaller, more personal scale. In the first Mass Effect game, players have to choose to sacrifice either Ashley Williams or Kaidan Alenko in order to detonate a bomb on the planet of Virmire to deal a major blow to the enemy Geth forces....
Patch 1.09 released last week and, since then, many Mass Effect: Andromeda players have been trying to figure out just where the so-called ‘various improvements’ have been made to the space-exploration title’s animation. As it turns out, the animations have been altered slightly in individual cutscenes, but nothing major has changed to the game. In the video above, YouTuber YongYea demonstates some of the areas where the game has improved visually, with one infamous scene where Ryder sees her new ship for the first time being changed entirely due to the animation being so low quality....
For Mass Effect: Andromeda fans who were anticipating further single-player content releases, whether that be via DLC or updates, BioWare’s not completely abandoning the story. Instead of continuing Andromeda’s story in-game, it’ll be furthered in other media including comics and novels. And yes, BioWare specifically notes that the Quarian Ark’s fate is an area of focus for these upcoming releases. It may not be what fans expected, but it is something....
RELATED: Everything You Need to Know Before Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Releases There are many different views on the ethics of the genophage. Some see it as unethical and needlessly cruel, others say it was a necessary evil, and yet others argue it was entirely justified. Shepard gets to hear several different views over the course of the games, and even sometimes gets to express her own opinions. It is a multi-faced issue with no clear right or wrong answer....
Choices are incredibly important in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, with most of the popular choices coming across as little surprise story-wise. Shepard-wise, though, it may be more of a mixed bag. RELATED: Mass Effect Fan Shares Stunning Dune-Inspired Character Posters According to BioWare, 68% of people played Male Shepard while 32% played FemShep. 52% of players went with an Earthborn background, with 27% going Spacer and the other 21% being Colonists....
While a small minority of fans will likely be disappointed by this Mass Effect: Legendary Edition news, most should be indifferent to the announcement. In fact, there are several reasons to view the news as a good thing, as leaving the mode out of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition could actually improve the remasters in significant ways. Much like with Metal Gear Solid or Uncharted, multiplayer was never integral to the Mass Effect experience and was simply a bonus whenever it was included — and this is no different with the remasters....
Commander Shepard first meets Ashley Williams during a mission on Eden Prime. Ashley’s fleet was wiped out by the Geth in a mission to retrieve the Prothean Beacon, same as Shepard’s mission. After she demonstrates her abilities as a soldier on Eden Prime, Anderson assigns her to the Normandy with Shepard, where the two can get to know one another. If players chose a male Commander Shepard, Ashley will be by his bedside after Eden Prime, feeling guilty as the mission went awry....
Mass Effect 2’s demo was officially released on the PS3 last week, but how does it hold up to the Xbox 360 version? Less than a month away from the official PS3 release, the comparisons have already begun. Game producer Jesse Houston commented on the Bioware Podcast, referring to the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2, that “One of the first things you’re going to see is improved graphics.” However, the side-by-side comparisons from Eurogamer show that this is not exactly the case....
Disappointed? We at Game Rant had placed Mass Effect 3 as our #1 most anticipated game of 2011, so now that doesn’t make sense. On the flip side, developers taking more time to work on their game is never a bad thing. In fact, some thought Mass Effect 3 was being rushed as it is, with Mass Effect 2 only coming out last January, only to have the next sequel debut less than two years later....
Standing as the shadowy head of the organization Cerberus, the Illusive Man is a central character in the Mass Effect franchise. He quietly pulls the strings in the background, trying to further humanity’s position in the galaxy, and eventually, revealing that he wants to control the Reapers rather than just defeat them. As fans learn, though, the Reapers indoctrinate the Illusive Man, meaning they’re the ones in control. RELATED: Mass Effect Fan Reveals Incredible Tali Cosplay...
When BioWare announced that the fan-favorite franchise was getting a new installment, many gamers were excited. Not much has been revealed about Mass Effect 4 yet, and questions still remain unanswered as to where and when the next game will be set. With the Mass Effect trilogy and Mass Effect: Andromeda both offering up vastly different galaxies as well, there are so many options for Mass Effect 4’s setting and storyline....
Belgium continued their 100 per cent start to Euro 2020 qualifying with Tuesday’s victory, keeping themselves top of Group I, three points ahead of Russia. Lukaku opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, sending a thumping header in from six yards, before doubling his tally after the interval tapping in a rebound after Kevin De Bruyne had an effort saved. Those goals took Lukaku to 25 goals from his past 21 Belgium matches, though were it not for a couple of bad misses, he might have scored four on the day....
Is this a cause worth dying for? “We are risking our lives to save lives,” says hunger striker Jorge Mancillas, assistant professor of biology at UCLA’s medical school. More academic attention, he thinks, will eventually pay off in a more prosperous, stronger Chicano community. But UCLA does not have separate departments for any special-interest group. Asians, blacks and women have all had to content themselves with interdisciplinary majors taught by professors from traditional academic departments....
