This is the only situation I ever saw in which an amateur version of a sport outgrew the pro version. I do not buy the claims that the wishbone would not work in the NFL.

A Southwest flight was diverted from Raleigh-Durham International Airport, leaving passengers stranded with no information or food in a closed Myrtle Beach airport overnight — along with a full plane of fellow travelers. The 9-hour ordeal involving Southwest flight 3094 included three passengers vomiting as the plane shook “like crazy,” recounted one North Carolina couple on board. Another person, the couple said, had a panic attack and passed out on the plane amid its wild approach into Raleigh — which was aborted at the last second at 1,350 feet, according to flight data. “It was quite a horrifying experience. We...

Self-help author and Democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson on Sunday accused party bigs of “rigging” the primary system in favor of President Biden. “The [Democratic National Committee] should not be rigging this system. They don’t even pretend anymore. They’re not even covert about there — they’re swaying the primary season. They’re very overt about it,” said Williamson, a former spiritual guru to Oprah Winfrey, on ABC News’ “This Week.” Williamson — whose candidacy has already been labeled a “joke” by some Dem operatives — said the fact that the DNC plans to hold the party’s first primary in South Carolina...

A major political, historical, human and economic fact of the 20th century: the Gulag, the extremely punitive Soviet concentration camp system, remains largely unknown. The history of the Gulag is long, complex and in many ways out of the ordinary. From the Revolution of 1917 to Gorbachev, touching on the civil war, the Great Terror, World War II, the Cold War and the death of Stalin, this series describes the workings of the Gulag. How and why did the USSR create this system of forced- labour camps in which 20 million prisoners were exploited and worked to the bone? Through...

NASCAR superstar Chase Elliott had successful surgery for an unspecified injury to his left leg Friday night, hours after a snowboarding accident in Colorado. He will miss this weekend’s NASCAR race at Las Vegas. Team owner Rick Hendrick told The Associated Press that Elliott was “just out of surgery” and “it went well.” Hendrick gave no additional details about Elliott’s condition or the accident. Hendrick is NASCAR's winningest car owner and Elliott is NASCAR’s most popular driver. Josh Berry will drive the No. 9 Chevrolet on Sunday in place of Elliott. Elliott would need a waiver from NASCAR to be...

"When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." "And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast." Mark, Chapter 2 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised...

Shoplifters have hit the upscale consignment store 19 times, stealing more than $56,000 in luxury bags, clothing and shoes over the past year. PORTLAND, Ore. — It was March 2022 when Tamara Young decided to take the leap. Business was brisk at her upscale consignment store in Southwest Portland, and she wanted to expand. So, the owner of Consign Couture made the move, expanding her operation to a second location in Washington Square. "I told them when I decided to lease this space that I felt like this was a more secure place to sell Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags,"...

A growing number of Americans are falling behind on their car payments, an ominous sign for the U.S. economy as high car prices and persistent inflation strain household budgets. Car repossessions tumbled in the early days of the pandemic when the government sent $5 trillion in stimulus money to American homes and businesses. But they have progressively ticked higher as sky-high prices for used and new cars alike forced consumers to take out bigger loans.

Horrifying cases of women being raped in their rooms at top hotel chains are taking place because staff are allegedly handing over keys to sexual predators unchecked, The Post can reveal. Two separate cases in Texas claim men broke into women’s rooms after lying to staff to obtain keycards. In an even more shocking incident, one man was allegedly able to convince police and hotel staff to deliver his victim to his own room at a Hilton-owned property. One alleged unwanted entry was only foiled when a quick thinking woman slammed a door on an intruder’s hand — severing his...

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's request that President Biden visit the site of the rail disaster in his state was not well-received at the White House. "If he can go to Ukraine to boost the morale of the people there, why can't he come to Ohio to boost the morale of Americans who are hurting from one of the worse train crashes in our history?" DeWine asked. Biden responded that "it's too dangerous for me to risk my life or health on a totally unnecessary visit to the highly toxic environment in East Palestine. Experts have already estimated that tens of...

As American men continue to struggle, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff wants to use his platform to denounce so-called toxic masculinity. Emhoff this past week told MSNBC that there’s too much “toxicity” in masculinity these days, an issue he’s spent “a lot” of time thinking about. “There’s too much of toxicity — masculine toxicity out there, and we’ve kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine,” the 58-year-old said. “You’ve got this trope out there where you have to be tough, and angry, and lash out to be strong,” Emhoff continued. “I think...

“The protesters were intent on provoking mayhem and grinding the city to a halt. There were several days of violent demonstrations. In this particular case, they violated a curfew that Mayor [Bill] de Blasio put in for two nights,” he said. “The police were forced to take aggressive action and make arrests. And, by the way, nobody spent any time in, in jail as a result of those arrests.” Individuals who were arrested that night are set to receive an additional $2,500 under the terms of the settlement. The NYPD had defended the tactics, with then-Commissioner Dermot Shea claiming they...

Biden Transportation Secretary Pete “I’m Taking Some Personal Time” Buttigieg, in an interview with CNN published Sunday, lashed out critics of his handling of the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio last month, swearing and accusing them of being out of touch East Coast elites as he defended wearing designer dress boots to tour the derailment scene. Buttigieg singled out President Trump and Fox News Channel prime time host Tucker Carlson in his hissy fit interview with CNN, even swearing at one point (excerpt): “It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox...

U.K. pundit Neil Oliver has been taking some flack for opposing the dictatorial narratives in Great Britain. In his monologue this week Mr. Oliver notes the media’s refusal to retract their prior false positions around COVID-19, the “vaccinations” and so much more. Worse still, many of these same media outlets are continuing to promote the lies. [Transcript] – I’m telling you now – if you’re still getting your latest news from the traditional Mainstream media, then it’s not news. It’s not investigation in search of the truth.

The FDNY says a five-alarm fire erupted at a supermarket on Grand Concourse and 181st Street. Officials say the blaze at 2096 Grand Concourse may have started from an e-bike. A man who lives behind the building told News 12 he was woken up by the smell of smoke. "I left and when I came outside, my whole block had smoke. I see smoke everywhere,” he said. “It’s messed up over here." News 12’s Samantha Chaney is on the scene.Video at Twitter link ...

One stepmom has left her stepdaughter devastated after telling her that she would rather stay at home with her pet parrot than come and stay with her for a week to help with wedding planning and "bond" with her and her two-year-old child.

More than 1,000 principals from across the province told People for Education they're seeing more behavioural issues, lack of self-regulation, and unaddressed mental health challenges. Many also said they had no access to social workers and psychologists, though London-area principals did not raise that concern with CBC News. But more and more mental health work is being downloaded onto principals and teachers, said Craig Smith, president of the local elementary teachers union. There's an increasing demand for mental health services in all forms, and not a lot of resources, Smith said. "There are plans but nothing really to adequately support...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said former President Trump isn’t “what he used to be” after the former president touted his 2024 campaign in remarks to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) the day before. “Look, he is the front-runner. There’s no doubt, he’s essentially an incumbent president running for renomination — not reelection, but renomination — and so of course, he’s the front-runner right now and ahead in the polls. But there are lots of indicators here, that he’s not what he used to be,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.”
