President Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the government’s highest civilian honor — to conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Tuesday, over a month after he was fatally shot on a Utah college campus.During a ceremony in the White House’s Rose Garden on what would have been Kirk’s 32nd birthday, Mr. Trump called Kirk a “fearless warrior for liberty” and credited the political activist with helping him win a greater share of the under-30 vote in last year’s presidential race.The president also spent part of his speech railing against “radical left violence” —…

The shortage of air traffic controllers at some airports during the U.S. government shutdown may have travelers wondering if they have anything to worry about as they board their flight.Flight delays in some parts of the U.S. have ticked up since federal funding lapsed on Oct. 1, even as controllers, Transportation Security Administration officers and other air safety personnel are required to work without pay. Previous shutdowns have resulted in a spike in TSA officers and air traffic controllers calling out sick from work, contributing to delays and flight cancellations. Despite such inconveniences, aviation experts are confident that air travel remains safe.…
PITTSBURGH — There are things Aaron Rodgers can’t do at the creaky old age of 41 that he could do with ease just a few years ago. His legs are slower. His arm isn’t as strong. He surely feels the pain of the injuries he suffered the past few years.What the Pittsburgh Steelers see, though, is what he can still do. They see the quickness of his release.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay is getting accustomed to building big leads and then letting opponents back into games.It’s a habit the Packers want to break.“We have to find ways to put teams away early and not even make it close at the end,” quarterback Jordan Love said after the Packers’ 27-18 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. “That’s something we need to keep improving on.”The Packers (3-1-1) have owned double-digit leads in each of their games, yet their victory over the Bengals was their first win since Sept. 11.

The play, in real time to the naked eye, might have looked very close to a violation. LeBron James leaped, got his right hand on the ball with a few tenths of the game’s final second remaining and tapped it through the basket to give the Los Angeles Lakers a buzzer-beating win last season.Referees on the floor called it correctly. Video replay backed up their call, and the Lakers got a victory over the Indiana Pacers.Turns out, it wasn’t close at all.The NBA has a relatively new tool called “automated officiating,” and the robotic eyes that are now tracking just…
