New Outcry as Trump Rebukes Charlottesville Racists 2 Days Later

WASHINGTON — The crisis in Charlottesville, Va., presented President Trump with a choice between adopting the unifying tone of a traditional president or doubling down on the go-it-alone approach that got him elected in 2016. On Monday, Mr. Trump offered a glimpse of a more calming and conventional president, but he ended the day with a flurry of angry tweets that left little doubt he intended to govern on his own terms. Mr. Trump, after two days of issuing equivocal statements, bowed to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists who incited bloody weekend demonstrations in Charlottesville. “Racism is evil,” said Mr. Trump, delivering a statement from the White House at a hastily arranged appearance meant to halt the growing political threat posed by the unrest. “And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Ame

You're more likely to get a hole-in-one on your birthday than win tonight's lottery

Imagen
More than $650 million in lottery winnings are up for grabs during this week's drawings from the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots. But a new analysis from Allstate's data scientist team points out just how unlikely you are to win either one. The odds of winning the $350 million Mega Millions jackpot is 1 in 258,890,850, according to  the game's assessment . And that's the more likely of the two. The Powerball jackpot, now $307 million,  holds odds of 1 in 292,201,338. To compare, you're more likely to score a hole-in-one on your birthday, get a dog bite while out for a run,  and  become a victim of identity theft before age 40. In fact, the odds of all three events happening to the same person are 1 in 19,900,000, Allstate found — far more likely than hitting either jackpot. The odds of winning both the Mega Millions and the Powerball are an even bigger stretch: 1 in 75,648,252,765,957,300. (That's 75 quadrillion.) But on the off-chance that y
