The Claim In an interview about the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan with George Stephanopoulos, Biden argued that the threat of terrorism was greater from Syria than Afghanistan. He went on to say that the U.S. does not have a military presence in the Middle Eastern country, despite that threat. “Al-Qaeda, ISIS, they metastasize. There’s a significantly greater threat to the United States from Syria. There’s a significantly greater threat from East Africa....

But the deportation saga has also proven to be fertile ground for vaccine- and tennis-related memes, satire and, it appears, even viral advertising. The Claim As social media users piled on the jokes and memes following an Australian court’s ruling to uphold the immigration ministry’s decision to cancel the Serbian tennis star’s visa, Mastercard purportedly saw an opportunity not to be missed. “Mastercard/accepted across the world…when your VISA isn’t,” reads the caption printed on a credit card next to an image of Djokovic....

After facing a media storm from the British tabloids over the past few years, Meghan detailed the account of her experience within the royal family to Winfrey and expressed shock when she said she was notified that her son Archie, the queen’s eighth great-grandchild, would not receive the title of prince, exempting him from the palace security protection that is status quo for many in the family.

Summary If these two nasty e-mail messages are any indication, the 2008 presidential campaign is becoming a very dirty one. One claims that Obama is “certainly a racist” by virtue of belonging to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, which it says “will accept only black parishoners” and espouses a commitment to Africa. Actually, a white theology professor says he’s been “welcomed enthusiastically” at the church, as have other non-blacks....

This is the premise of Robert Redford’s “The Legend of Bagger Vance,” a handsome, pleasingly mushy tall tale whose outcome is never in doubt. Adapted from a Steven Pressfield novel by Jeremy Leven, it’s the story of how a man rediscovers his soul and overcomes adversity, yet its brooding hero is oddly underdeveloped. We know about his crisis because the narrator (Jack Lemmon) tells us, and because, in the movie’s shorthand for despair, he drinks, doesn’t shave and plays cards on the wrong side of the tracks....

Rodgers is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s odds board for 22.5 completions. Rodgers is completing 66 percent of his attempts this season, so it wouldn’t take too many drop backs before he hit 23 completions. However, against a defense that has struggled against the run, we don’t think Rodgers needs to throw it too much on Monday night, keeping him UNDER 22.5 completions. The Falcons have allowed backs to average 103....

According to Oculus Co-Founder Nate Mitchell, tens of thousands of Oculus Touch VR controllers were sent out with hidden, “easter egg” messages on them. Some Touch controllers had messages like “Big Brother is Watching, “The Masons Were Here,” and “Hi iFixIt! We See You!” The messages can be found on what’s called the “flex,” which is an internal flexible component in the Oculus Touch controllers. So most VR users won’t actually see the message unless they start poking around in the internal components of the Touch controllers....
