Bellingham at the Clásico double: Real Madrid appear Judependent

Image
Real Madrid continues in its commitment to scoring goals this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s team has found the net in all 14 official matches they have played, comprising eleven in LaLiga and three in the Champions League. The current table-toppers have even managed to score in their two setbacks: the defeat in the derby against Atlético and last week’s draw against Sevilla. However, these two disappointments share a common factor: Bellingham did not show up for either of them. Madrid struggled in the two away Game s in which the Englishman, who has been by far the best performer in this season, early though it may be, did not add his name to the list of goalscorers. The nuance of this in last Saturday’s Game was significant, as he did put the ball into the net in Seville, but the play was controversially invalidated from the beginning, and the goal chalked off.

Catalytic converter theft claims fell in first half of year, first time in 3 years, State Farm says

The number of catalytic converter theft claims dropped in the first half of this year, the first time that’s happened since 2019, according to data from insurance company State Farm NEW YORK -- The number of catalytic converter theft claims dropped in the first half of this year, the first time that's happened since 2019, according to data from insurance company State Farm. Thefts of catalytic converter s have become problematic nationwide in recent years . Once stolen, they are often melted down for their valuable metals. State Farm said that there were approximately 14,500 claims from Jan. 1 through June 30. That compares with more than 23,000 catalytic converter theft claims during the same period a year ago. State Farm attributes the decline to several factors, including media coverage of the issue, more legislative efforts and declining metal prices.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state’s National Guard to install a barrier in some parts along the Texas/New Mexico state line. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state’s National Guard to install a barrier in some parts along the Texas/New Mexico state line.

Footage shot by KVIA shows some of the fencing running along the Rio Grande. ABC News has reached out to Texas officials, who have not yet provided an estimate of how much fencing is being installed.

Our barriers around El Paso forced the migrants crossing illegally to enter into New Mexico. They then entered into El Paso from there. To end that, we are building a barrier on the New Mexico border,” the govern
