LOS ANGELES -- After the Los Angeles Lakers blew yet another double-digit lead before losing to the Sacramento Kings 141-137 in triple-overtime Friday, LeBron James put the onus on himself to improve as L.A. dropped below .500 with a quarter of the season in the books. "I felt like I played a horrible game individually, and I hold myself to a higher standard than that," said James, whose 30 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds were marred by seven turnovers and 2-for-13 shooting from 3-point range. "I've got to do better for this team, especially when we're going through what we're going through on the floor." James certainly wasn't the only problem for the Lakers against Sacramento. L.A. led by 13 with 10:02 remaining in the fourth quarter when the Kings stormed back to go up by five with 2:26 left before the Lakers found themselves needing to come back.

In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot. On November 27 , San Clemente, California, yoga practitioner, wellness and New Age leader Alan Hostetter, 56, who would later be indicted for his role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, posted a video of himself on his own American Phoenix Project YouTube channel talking about his attendance at the November 14 "Million MAGA" March in Washington.

"Because when you commit treason against this country and you disenfranchise the voters of this country and you take away their ability to make decisions for themselves, you strip them of their Constitution rights. That's not hyperbole when we call it tyranny, that's fucking tyranny. And tyrants and traitors need to be executed as an example ..." Hostetter, who had previously served with law enforcement for more than a decade, …

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump Jr. have criticized the World Health Organization ( WHO ) for skipping the Greek letter Xi in naming a new variant of COVID-19. The WHO announced on Friday that the COVID variant known as B.1.1.529 was a Variant of Concern (VOC) and that it had been named the Omicron Variant , skipping the letters Xi and Nu. The health body has been using the Greek alphabet to designate variants in order to make discussion of the virus easier for non-scientific audiences but the choice of Omicron has led to some backlash. Donald Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump's son, tweeted on Friday: "As far as I'm concerned the original will always be the Xi variant." That's a reference to Chinese President Xi Jinping , whose surname bears clear similarities in English to the Greek letter Xi. However, they are pronounced differently. Senator Ted Cruz also weighed in with similar criticism, retweeting a senior editor at The Telegraph newspaper …
