Amy touched upon this this morning. There was a terrible no-call that occurred during the Indiana Fever-Phoenix Mercury game last night. Phoenix Forward Alyssa Thomas punched Clark in the throat. No whistle was blown: (tweets/video)This is an obvious flagrant 2, but the league is allowing Clark to be used as a punching bag. Even Indiana’s coach, Stephanie White, torched the league for letting this slide: (snip)Yet, that’s not the only indignity—Clark was left off the 30th anniversary cover of the WNBA. It’s not a screw-up, as Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese are on it. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd ripped into the league for being paranoid, weird, and insular:

Midway through the second quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark went to the floor and lost control of the ball while being defended by Lexi Held of the Mercury. Amid the scramble for the ball, Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas landed on Clark, pushed her fist into Clark’s throat, then stepped over her. Despite the egregiousness of the incident, no foul was called. After the game, Fever coach Stephanie White called the play a “cheap shot.” Clark left the game with 5:15 to play in the third quarter because of a back issue that was aggravated

A foreign-born federal judge in D.C. ruled Monday that Americans are not allowed to check the citizenship of prospective voters because doing so might “purge voter rolls.” D.C. District Court Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who is from Trinidad and Tobago, blocked the Trump administration from using an updated database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system in order to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. (snip)_ U.S. citizen in 2009, but seemingly still retains citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago,(snip)” As Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., pointed out, “If judges can stop Presidents, they should not also be citizens of foreign nations.”

President Donald Trump on June 24 canceled the scheduled signing of a bipartisan housing bill aimed at lowering home prices, saying that an election integrity bill should be passed by Congress first. “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump posted on Truth Social. The SAVE America Act would require voters to prove their U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The House has passed the legislation, while the Senate has struggled to get the necessary 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Democrats have objected to the bill, arguing

A Utah judge on Monday denied two major defense motions in the capital murder case against Tyler Robinson. Judge Tony Graf also delayed a highly anticipated decision on whether prosecutors should face sanctions over their public comments about the evidence. )snip)During Monday’s hearing, Judge Graf ruled that prosecutors may rely on certain hearsay evidence at Robinson’s upcoming preliminary hearing, and rejected the defense’s effort to subpoena an out-of-state witness to testify in person. He also announced he needs additional time to decide whether prosecutors violated a court “gag” order over pretrial publicity,

I previously saw an interesting discussion with NVIDEA Jensen Haung where in the context of AI he was asked: who is the smartest person you ever met?Jensen Haung paused for quite a few moments thinking about the question before he answered. Haung then redefined the word “smart.” ‘Smart’ is a word we have historically used in reference to ‘intelligence’. If a person was intelligent, we say that person is smart. (snip)This interview about the ramifications of cultural change in Europe was given in 2010, sixteen years ago, centered on a book written by Mark Steyn and the context within the questioning is looking forward over a period of about 20 years.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept. Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration. Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries.

A divided Pennsylvania Supreme Court, including two Democrat justices, ordered Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office to face new outside scrutiny over its post-conviction concessions after the state’s high court found the office’s handling of one convicted murderer’s case was unreliable and said similar problems extended beyond just that single case. Justice Kevin Dougherty, a Democrat, wrote the 4-3 opinion in the case of Levar Brown, a Philadelphia man whose murder convictions became the centerpiece of a broader legal fight over Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit and the office’s willingness to concede relief in serious criminal cases. Dougherty was joined by Justice Daniel McCaffery, another Democrat judge on the state's Supreme Court,

Back in 2024, all of us watched in horror as Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key was crushed and collapsed in a heap of twisted, mangled metal.A massive container ship lost power and drifted straight into one of the bridge’s support columns and brought the entire thing down in seconds. But the most horrific part is that six construction workers were killed. The Port of Baltimore was shut down for weeks, and the economic disaster was in the billions. (snip) the collapse was described as just some “catastrophic accident.” (snip)the ship was operating with a well-known hazardous fuel system that didn’t have a backup safeguard. And the chief engineer, an Indian national

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—Connor Schutza broke the surface of the pool, breathing hard, his muscles burning after another deep-end drill designed to test more than physical endurance. Each descent had a purpose for the 22-year-old Scottsdale resident. He wasn’t training for a race or fitness competition. He was preparing for a shot at the Air Force’s elite special warfare community—one of the military’s most demanding career fields. The path requires more than strength. It demands composure under pressure, the ability to push through exhaustion, and the discipline to silence the urge to quit.

After announcing that his family is under federal investigation, reportedly related to taxes and business income, a spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday that the office was "working to prepare" tax returns for tax years 2021 through 2025 "for transparency," adding that, "unlike Donald Trump, the Governor has nothing to hide."Upon his election as governor in 2018 Newsom promised to release his full tax returns each year, but has not held to that promise;

Keir Starmer's premiership appears to have entered its final act. Just over a week after Andy Burnham stormed back into Parliament with a crushing by-election win, the Prime Minister is - according to senior Labour figures cited by The Observer - preparing to set out a timetable for his own departure, with a "clear statement" possible as early as Monday.It would be a remarkable collapse. Starmer led Labour to a landslide less than two years ago
