OAKLAND — Derek Carr was back at the Coliseum Saturday night , looking for the most part like the guy who led the Raiders to a dozen wins last season. Marshawn Lynch sat for the national anthem, but it’s doubtful the home fan base will get too worked up about it based his first two carries in silver and black. As for the first-team defense, the fans will be in a state of high anxiety until the regular- season opener based on how the Raiders were picked apart by second- year quarterback Jared Goff in a 24-21 exhibition loss to the Los Angeles Rams . The Rams pulled it out when former Foothill High star Sean Mannion threw a 20- yard touchdown pass to Josh Reynolds against Chris Humes with 1:11 to play. Goff led the Rams to a 17-14 halftime lead and completed 16 of 20 passes for 160 yards and a 23- yard touchdown pass , looking nothing like the unsure rookie who was last year’s No. 1 pick out ...

Hillary Clinton slept here. The year was 2000. Clinton was in the middle of her first political campaign, running to be New York’s junior senator. Steven Spielberg, an enthusiastic donor to Mrs Clinton who had the use of a pied-à-terre in Trump Tower purchased for him by Universal Pictures, barely stayed at the place, despite its views of Central Park, and offered it to the candidate as a crash pad on gruelling campaign days . Trump Tower in New York. Photo: Bloomberg Donald Trump and Clinton were on good terms back then. He donated money to her candidacy and called her “tough and smart”. Moreover, Trump was skilled in the art of spinning his associations with celebrities into publicity. This was particularly true at Trump Tower. Michael Jackson lived in Donald J. Trump’s gleaming Midtown edifice . So have gamblers, a disgraced dictator, a Ponzi schemer and a stock huckster.

EXPAND When the whole country is sad AF, even Emo Nite is a welcome escape. Shane Lopes It was Thursday night, less than a week after a "Unite the Right" protest, ostensibly to protect Confederate statues , turned deadly. Earlier in the day, the normally loser-hating president of the United States tweeted that he was "sad" over the removal of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues . The country is still mourning the tragic death of Heather Heyer, still frightened with images of neo-Nazis burned into our minds. The country is now at a crossroads: What do we do next? Yet the president is still going on about those damn statues of people who fought a lost cause to secede from the United States — statues that, as many have pointed out, were used to intimidate and remind people that racism persists, even if the Confederacy doesn't. I scrolled through social media feeds , read news stories and opinion pieces, tried to make sense of a country that's startin...
