Carlsen is the six-time world blitz champion, a record. How many of us know that Bibisara Assaubayeva from Kazakhstan is the 2023 women's blitz world champion, edging out Koneru Humpy?

During a Friday speech about the September jobs report, President Joe Biden delivered a rapid-fire series of three false or misleading claims – falsely saying that he has cut the debt, falsely crediting a tax policy that didn't take effect until 2023 for improving the budget situation in 2021 and 2022, and misleadingly saying that he has presided over an "actual surplus."

At a separate moment of the speech, Biden used outdated figures to boast of setting record lows in the unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics and people with disabilities. While the rates for these three groups hit record lows earlier in his presidency, he didn't acknowledge that they have all since increased to non-record levels – and, in fact, are now higher than they were during parts of Donald Trump's presidency.

Dinner Prayer Hymn
Traditional Hymn

Lord, bless this food and grant that we

May thankful for thy mercies be;

Teach us to know by whom we're fed;

Bless us with Christ, the living bread.

Lord, make us thankful for our food,

Bless us with faith in Jesus' blood;

With bread of life our souls supply,

That we may live with Christ on high.

Amen.
