As Ms. Gauff completed the mysterious ritual and rose to her feet, ESPN producers pored over prior videos. "It appears Ms. Gauff has performed this bizarre practice several times in the past," said ESPN's Bill Bonnell. "We're still at a loss. The...

Super Bowl champion head coach Tony Dungy had some choice words for ESPN’s "SportsCenter" X account on Saturday night after Coco Gauff won her first U.S. Open title. After Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, the "SportsCenter" account wrote that the tennis phenom "took a moment to soak it all in after winning her first Grand Slam title."

Daniel Michael Andrews is a member of the Socialist Left faction of the Australian Labor Party and the Premier of the State of the Australian State of Victoria. He inflicted the longest pandemic lockdowns in the world on his people. One of his government's many victims is proud Barinkji man and courageous freedom fighter, Coco. It gives me great pride to be able to publish the little micro-movie in the above link of Coco condemning Andrews and asking his creator spirit, The Rainbow Serpent, to take Andrews away from the land.

The celebration traditionally features gatherings in which families pray and remember relatives and friends who have died and help them with their spiritual journey.

The government should ban high-sugar cereals such as Coco Pops and other foods that are contributing to an obesity epidemic among British children, the shadow health secretary has urged. Regulations limiting the amount of sugar, salt and fat in processed foods should be considered if the food industry does not take action itself, according to Labour’s Andy Burnham, who has begun a consultation on how to tackle obesity.

Here it is folks. The shame of one generation impersonating the shame of another. I tremble for us all. In all seriousness though that was a pretty good impersonation. Maybe if this whole super star pop sensation thing doesn’t work out Bieber he can get into impersonations. After all what is the difference between Obama and Bieber when it comes down to it?

WASHINGTON - The White House on Friday said a Senate bill that would grant legal status to illegal immigrants is analogous to a traffic law that allows a speeder to pay a fine and continue driving. "If you had a traffic ticket and you paid it, you're not forever a speeder, are you?" White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said in response to questions from The Examiner.
