Brady was spotted in the coaches booth during the broadcast between the game between the Raiders and Chargers, and upon seeing that shot, ESPN's announcers revealed that Brady stays in regular contact with Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. That immediately led to conflict of interest concerns, with many noting that Brady could impart what he learns while preparing for games he's covering as a FOX announcer to his own team.

ABBEVILLE COUNTY, South Carolina (WYFF) -- A farmer in Abbeville County is feeling immense gratitude towards first responders who helped rescue one of her farm animals, Jake the donkey. Traditionally, Jake is able to roam across more than 20 acres of land. Because of the rain, he got caught in mud on Sunday and slipped down a ravine, nowhere to be found. Not knowing what to do to help find Jake, his owner, Kaye Acton, called the Abbeville County Fire Department, requesting that drones be used to help find her farm animal. The fire department then answered the call to...

The men’s hockey team for the United States will square off against Canada on Sunday in the gold medal game. Well before this matchup was even confirmed, there were rumblings about President Donald Trump taking a trip to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Team USA’s road to the gold medal game wasn’t a smooth one to say the least. They needed a game-winning goal from defenseman Quinn Hughes in overtime to defeat Sweden in the quarterfinals. That thrilling win must have given them the confidence they needed heading into the semifinals though, as the United States defeated Slovakia 6-2 on Friday...

A look at the backlash surrounding WIRED’s investigation into a so called gay tech mafia and why critics are questioning its reporting and framing. ...not one but two White Lotus–themed gay tech parties, both equally extravagant. “Girls are not present,” says that same angel investor. “They are just not there.” There is also a “Gay VC Mafia” group chat that is, as one member describes it, “60 percent business” and “40 percent hee hee ha ha” about “classically gay topics.” With a steady churn of tech events aimed at gay men, the social incentives stack up fast. Connections blur—“professional, physical,...

Mike Huckabee's analogies regarding land rights and defense, specifically his suggestion that if a people like the Irish can defend their land, they can keep it—have been viewed as a significant rhetorical own goal that complicates the very pro-Israel stance he intended to defend. Critics and media analysts have highlighted several major ramifications of this logic and analysts have noted the internal contradiction in Huckabee's argument. By shifting the justification from a divine mandate (the Promised Land) to a right of conquest/defense media commentators pointed out that the Irish analogy is particularly fraught. If land ownership is determined solely by...

Art reflects the human condition in all its messiness—violence, identity, madness The classic horror film, The Silence of the Lambs has recently been labeled as transphobic. Progressivism is seeking to sacrifice another Hollywood masterpiece to their “problematic” gods because the mentally ill villain of the film is a man so desperate to be a woman that he murders for it. While the character is never labeled as trans, the fictional portrayal has been deemed offensive. In the annals of cinematic history, few films have left as indelible a mark as The Silence of the Lambs. Released in 1991, Jonathan Demme’s...

The United States and Canada men’s ice hockey teams will play for the Olympic gold medal on Sunday’s final day of the Milano Cortina Games after both teams won their semi-final contests on Friday evening. Canada left things late in the first game, coming from two goals down to win 3-2 over Finland on Nathan MacKinnon’s winner with 35.2 seconds remaining. The US took a more straightforward tack in the nightcap to set up the heavyweight final, roaring past Slovakia 6-2 after Jack Hughes and Jack Eichel scored in a 19-second span during the second period to blow things open,...

It isn't over until it's over, or the Fat Lady Sings. Tariffs, are not done. Here is Scott Bessent also speaking on the supject today: Scott Bessent Supposedly, Kavanugh's dissent included the roadmap for what Trump should use, that his use of that Emergency Act he ued was the wrong one to use, and pointed to the correct one. Here's the best I cvan find for that aspect of the riuling: Kavanaugh in dissent: Bad policy or not, Trump's tariffs were 'clearly lawful'

During his lifetime, Newton kept his theological works highly private, which may have been in part to avoid conflict with the Anglican Church. The two were at odds because the Church preached the doctrine of the Trinity, something which Newton strongly rejected under the belief that God has no equals. When Newton died in 1727 without a will, a pair of distant relations took possession of all his private papers, and chose to keep the work hidden from the public because they were devout Anglicans who didn't want to publicize what they saw as heretical material.Snip Newton reached his end...

The cost of eggs for consumers is 34% lower than last year, according to January’s consumer price index. But for farmers, they have too many eggs selling at rock bottom prices.

Former first lady Michelle Obama argued that getting accepted into college for being a star athlete is no different than being accepted due to affirmative action policies. During Wednesday’s episode of Mrs. Obama’s “IMO” podcast, comedian Josh Johnson spoke about his own experience as a young Black comedian and writer and sometimes being the only Black person in the room. “It is funny because, like, you know, people talk about, like, DEI and some of these initiatives and everything. And the thing that’s always funny to me about the outrage is that y’all already have the number,” Johnson said. He...

American soldiers fighting in Vietnam armed with WWII German MP40s? Sounds ridiculous, but it's absolutely true. One special forces unit used a few old MP40s on operations obtained via the CIA - the famous MACV-SOG. Well, as those of you who have followed this channel for many years will know that I have made a video about this very subject though in the case of German World War II weapons from the perspective of their use by North Vietnam and the VietCong rather than by the Americans. Then I came upon this photograph taken in the mid 1960s in Vietnam,...

Two high-profile shootings carried out by transgender individuals in the span of less than a week have sparked fears about a perceived uptick in violence from the community. On February 10th, an 18-year-old transgender shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, gunned down his mother and stepbrother before killing six others at a school in British Columbia, Canada. Then on Monday, Robert Dorgan, who also identified as Roberta Esposito, opened fire at a Pawtucket, Rhode Island, ice rink where his son was playing hockey, killing two family members and then himself. Before his attack, Dorgan wrote online, “I’m a gun fanatic transwoman; i...

Democrats will stop at nothing to defile this great nation. Via PJ Media: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags. The “pride” flag literally represents sexual perversion. That’s how sick the Democratic Party has become. Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country. This brownish-green loogy hawked up and spat on Old Glory and the vets who...

An anti-ICE agitator stole an ambulance, packed it with gas cans and rammed the emergency vehicle into a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho. Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole the ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital and poured accelerant inside of the vehicle. “We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,” Police Chief Basterrechea said. “The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” he said. The police chief said “there has been a lot of...

New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani is having trouble finding the means to fund his radical left-wing agenda so he is now going to an old favorite for Democrats – defunding the police. Apparently, Democrats have still not learned their painful lesson in this exercise in stupidity. To make matters worse, it has now been reported that Mamdani needs so much money because he is creating all kinds of new diversity positions in his cabinet, another lesson the left has not yet learned. Mamdani’s predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams, proposed at the end of his term that...
