The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off. I have filed a police report with Capitol Police and the local police department. We know who this person is and he will face justice. As a Marine, a proud Jewish American and a staunch defender of Israel, I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence.

According to reports gathered by EDHUB, the driver of the Toyota Vitz was a mother and professional dressmaker who was driving her househelp and two of her children to school, and later to her workplace. On her way, she picked up two other passengers, including a man and another girl, for a lift. Unfortunately, as they approached the bridge over the river, she was startled by a heavy truck, which caused her to fall off the bridge into the river, drowning all five occupants.

After thinking its national championship hopes had been dashed during the regular season, Alabama Football received an opportunity for redemption 14 years ago today when the Crimson Tide shut out top-ranked LSU, 21-0, on Jan. 9, 2012 in the Louisiana Superdome. LSU had edged Alabama, 9-6, in Bryant-Denny Stadium which at the time appeared to end the Crimson Tide’s championship aspirations. But after upsets ravaged higher-ranked teams, Alabama found itself in the BCS championship game in a rematch against the Tigers. This time the Crimson Tide defense made sure the outcome would be different as LSU failed to cross midfield until the fourth quarter. The Tigers finished with just 92 yards of total offense (39 rushing, 53 passing) and five first downs. “I think it’s a great team win,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. “Our offense controlled the tempo of the game. We did a great job on special teams. It was just a great team win for every guy here, every fan that we have, every supporter of this program. This is great for Alabama.” Jeremy Shelley kicked five field goals (23, 34, 41, 35 and 44 yards) to give Alabama a 15-0 lead by the end of third quarter, before Trent Richardson scored the game’s only touchdown on a 34-yard run with 4:36 remaining in the game.

Highlights brought to you by Rozzi Fireworks. Moeller started off their postseason run with a bang, as they scored a program record 25 runs in a 25-0 win over Western Hills. The offense exploded for 18 hits, including 6 extra base hits, which included 3 home runs. Matt Ponatoski led the team with 6 RBIs, one off from tying the program record in a game, going 3-3 with 2 home runs and a double. Might be the only Crusader in history to hit two home runs in a single inning (can’t verify). Jackson Porta also had 3 hits, going 3-3 himself. He also added on 3 RBIs on the day. Will Schirmer went 3-5, also registering 3 RBIs, an inside the park home run, and got a triple. Connor_Fuhrer threw a complete game 1 hitter. Connor didn’t walk a single batter for the second time this season, and he struck out 7, which ties for his career high.

In his fourth season at the Capstone, Nate Oats led the Crimson Tide to its largest margin of victory against the Wildcats in a lopsided 78-52 dismantling that had Kentucky head coach John Calipari calling a timeout in the opening two minutes. “The crowd was unbelievable,” Oats said. “Students aren’t in school until Wednesday, the first day of class, so for them to show up and support us like they did was great. “We’re trying to put a program and product out there that everyone is proud to support, and they definitely supported us tonight, so I just want to thank everybody for that.” The 26-point walloping edged the previous best in program history which occurred in 1990 when Alabama throttled Kentucky 83-58. Alabama opened the game on a quick 6-0 run that had sophomore center Charles Bediako putting the reigning national player of the year, Oscar Tshiebwe, in the torture chamber. The fast start by the Crimson Tide infuriated Calipari so much he had to call a timeout just 2 minutes and eight seconds into the game. Brandon Miller led Alabama with 19 points and seven rebounds, while Mark Sears had 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Jahvon Quinerly had 12 points and Bediako finished with nine points, six rebounds and two blocks. “I can’t say enough about our guys and how hard they played on defense and how locked in to the scouting report they were,” Oats said. “I thought Sears was unbelievable. I thought Charles was great on Tshiebwe.” Alabama led 35-24 at halftime and opened the second half on a 13-3 run to push the margin to 48-27. At one point the advantage reached 31 points. Tshiebwe struggled against the size of Bediako and finished with just four points and six rebounds.

THIS is the moment a van driver was brutally battered by a gang wielding baseball bats in a horrific attack in West Yorkshire The victim, 26, was left cowering on the ground in the "targeted attack" in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Police today confirmed they were investigating the assault which took place shortly after 10pm on Monday (January 29). The video, filmed from a car, shows a man sprawled on the floor, having been pulled from the driver's door of a white van, surrounded by five balaclava-clad males. One can be overheard in the footage yelling "break his legs", as another attacker attempts to stamp on his head. Four of the gang run off as traffic lights turn to green and motorists start beeping their horns. But one man remains, delivering another five blows on his victim. "The victim, a man aged 26, has been taken to hospital with serious injuries to his head arms and legs.

People argue that agriculture helped us to develop civilizations, but it definitely hurt us from a health and developmental perspective. As to being able to run a civilization, that is not so convincing. The Native Americans in the Great Plains and elsewhere who were largely carnivores, if not completely carnivores in many areas, we're able to run a society with 100 million people living off of dried pemmican and fish. Genghis Khan and the Mongol horde took over the largest contiguous empire that has ever existed and they were carnivores as well, eating horse meat, drinking horse blood, and fermented mares milk. So you had one of the greatest civilizations and empires in the history of the known world eating meat from domestic stock and wild game and another massive civilization with multiple tribes and empires spanning most of the continent of North America doing the same. In fact, they found permanent buildings and what is now St Louis that could house 1 million full-time residents. This was found abandoned with the westward expansion after some sort of plague wiped out 95% of the population of North America. Lastly, there was a tribe in the Columbia River basin in Washington State who, because they had weirs and nets set up in the Columbia River with a massive salmon run, they had basically all of their time to themselves to devote to leisure activities as opposed to gathering food. If you calculate a civilizations wealth by the amount of leisure time they have compared to time they have to spend for basic necessities such as getting food etc, they are considered the wealthiest civilization that has ever existed. And yet no agriculture in this area at this time. So not only was agriculture one of the worst things that happened to us from a health perspective, it didn't give us the benefits of civilization that we have been told it did. #carnivorediet #weightloss #weightlossjourney

For seven seasons and 122 episodes from 1981 to 1987, Today's Special was a favourite show for Canadian children. Let's learn more about this unique show! Debuting on Sept. 1, 1981, the show revolved around a department store, which was based on the Simpson's store in Toronto. At the start of each episode, the character Jodie arrived for work and carried a mannequin upstairs. It was there that the mouse character Muffy said "hocus pocus alimagocus!" At that point, the mannequin came to life, becoming Jeff. He then learned about various things from the world, to help teach the children watching. At first, episodes revolved around an object and the show taught about that object. As the show went on, episodes dealt with more complex topics including wishes and alcoholism. To break up the main plot, the show had short films that were narrated by Robyn Hayle. These included nursery rhymes and quizzes. There were four main characters in the show. Jeff the Mannequin was played by Jeff Hyslop. His magic hat allowed him to come to life when someone said the magic words. If he lost his hat, he became a mannequin again. Jodie was played by Nerene Virgin. She was the store's display designer and was the mentor to Jeff. Sam Crenshaw was a puppet, voiced by Bob Dermer, who was the security guard. He was born in 1919 and was portrayed as clumsy and not too bright. Crenshaw was also the voice of Ralph Raccoon on The Raccoons. Then there was Muffy Mouse, a puppet voiced by Nina Keogh. She speaks in rhymes and lives in the store. She can also play the piano and likes to be mischievous. There were also recurring characters such as TXL Series 4, Mrs. Pennypacker, Mort, Waldo the Magnificent and The Mime Lady. The show ended its run on July 1, 1987 but ran into the 2000s in reruns on Treehouse TV and PBS. After the show, Jeff Hyslop focused on theatre and earned acclaim for his portrayal in the title role in The Phantom of the Opera in 1999. Nerene Virgin went on to work as a reporter for CBOT, the CBC station in Ottawa. She also hosted Eye on Toronto. In 1996, she began hosting Coast to Coast & Saturday Report. Today, she works to help women who have survived domestic violence. In 2007, she ran for the Ontario Legislature, finishing second. She has also written several books on Canada's Black history.

Congrats to Ryan Ward for having his contract selected and being placed on the Dodgers' 40 Man Roster. Wardo was awarded as the Most Valuable Player in the PCL this past season after hitting .290, with an OPS of .937. He posted a WRC+ of 132, and his 36 home runs led ALL of the Minor Leagues During this season he also became the ALL-TIME home runs leader (90) and RBIs (318) in the history of the Bricktown Ballpark Era for OKC baseball. On a personal note, I've been going to AAA OKC games since 1975. That dates back to All-Sports stadium, and 6 different affiliation changes, 5 of which have been in my lifetime, and that I remember VERY well. So, to see this with my own eyes was truly historical on a personal level for me as well. #89ERS And, to have it happen in the first year of the new branding was a real "page turner" of OKC baseball, so that's SUPER cool too. Ward also drove in 122 runs, which is the most of ANY player in the PCL since 2010, and racked up the most total bases (315) of any player in the PCL since 2001. Ward also set single-season records for the Bricktown era in hits (164), runs (113), and RBIs (122). As per his defense... His outfield play has gotten better and better as each year has passed, and, while his bat will likely always be the"show stealer", he is a good athlete and has become a very solid outfielder. He can also play 1st base, and dabbled in a touch of 2nd base while at Bryant Baseball Speaking of Bryant, he's the only Bulldog ever to hit over .400 for a single season, and he struck out just 1 time his senior Season at Millbury, so the "hit tool" is NOT a new thing for him. As an aside, he graduated with fewer than 100 kids in his High School, and he is not shy to show pride in his "small town" work ethic. With all the home runs over the fence, his highlight of last year was an at-bat where he kept the ball IN the park. Wardo knocked an INSIDE-the-park WALKOFF home run back at the beginning of May. Congrats, Wardo, I could type ALL DAY about this dude, but that will do it for NOW. #dodgers

Congrats to Ryan Ward for having his contract selected and being placed on the Dodgers' 40 Man Roster. Wardo was awarded as the Most Valuable Player in the PCL this past season after hitting .290, with an OPS of .937. He posted a WRC+ of 132, and his 36 home runs led ALL of the Minor Leagues During this season he also became the ALL-TIME home runs leader (90) and RBIs (318) in the history of the Bricktown Ballpark Era for OKC baseball. On a personal note, I've been going to AAA OKC games since 1975.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! A new poll found Spencer Pratt LEADING Karen Bass by 0.6 points heading into the June 2nd election, per California Post Bass is now FRANTICALLY trying to head off an upset, and Pratt just held another campaign event Common Spence has the momentum 🔥 PRATT: "I just want people to feel safe. Our families to be able to drive in the city. And it takes the whole city to actually change. I'm just going to be the voice of the community." FINN: "Spencer Pratt has largely run his campaign off of Skid Row, ending the homeless crisis there and restoring safety for animals that are abused on Skid Row." "And we're not far from that area right now where Spencer just left an event that was hosted by Hispanic and Latino supporters. He met with several dozen supporters in person here in what was like a block party style gathering." "The mayor's race is considered wide open. Mayor Bass is campaigning all over the city this weekend to keep her job." Matt Finn

Contrary to the misreporting by Citizen TV Kenya , we did not leave the venue because we were "chased." We departed because the presiding Bishop and Seme MP James Nyikal had already left to proceed with the burial of his father. Our sole purpose for attending was to offer our condolences and stand in solidarity with the family. Remaining unbowed, we left the service and arrived safely at the airport to return to Nairobi. This travel is in preparation for the EALASCA Festival, which are scheduled to kick off in Mombasa on Monday, May 4th, 2026. I am proud to confirm that Siaya County will be participating in the upcoming events and I will be joining them as the Patron of KICOSCA. While at the airport, we enjoyed a warm reception and spent time engaging with the locals before boarding. The people of Kisumu are WANTAM, a spirit of hospitality and excellence that was clearly on display throughout the past weekend.

Chris Campos and his dad built a mound in his backyard and worked like crazy to master his slider last off-season, and, it absolutely worked. Campos is one of the most self-aware young pitchers I've seen pitch, and what I mean by that is he knows what makes him good, and he knows how to execute those sequences. He was the starting short stop at Saint Marys and didn't pitch much at all, so his ceiling is just now starting to grow. ++ athlete, which is very important, as we see with guys like River Ryan, live arm, and as stated before, he's just getting started as a pitcher. Campos has a similar backstory to Gavin Stone. He was told that he was too little to play D1 baseball, but he responded by going to a great baseball school and becoming an everyday player at a premier position. The Dodgers saw his arm talent, athletic ability, and ability to absorb and apply information, drafted him, and then converted him to a pitcher. Keep your eye on this guy, he's gonna continue to get better and better. #dodgers

WATCH: Paradise turned into chaos overnight in the Dominican Republic. Nearly 1,700 people staying at a beachfront resort had to run for their lives when fire tore through the property’s palm-thatched roofs, fueled by strong coastal winds. A 46-year-old Italian woman lost her life in the blaze. Among those evacuated were dozens of kids and babies who had no idea what was happening as smoke filled the sky. Drone shots taken afterward show entire sections of the resort burned down to nothing but ash. Investigators are now trying to figure out how it started. How did this take off so fast? These people came for a vacation and left with a story they’ll never forget - and one family lost everything.

Something I feel enormously fortunate to have covered directly was Kyle Busch's 100th career O'Reilly Series win at Nashville in 2021. There's also a story from the press conference I'd like to share. Nashville 2021 was the first "normal" race weekend after peak COVID, which meant the garage was open and media availabilities would take place in the media center instead of remotely over Zoom (including from the press box). It was my first race working as a reporter in the media center, and I was still getting my bearings as far as in-person press conferences and talking off the cuff as opposed to doing things over Zoom. Daniel McFadin asked Kyle about which of his 100 wins were his favorites, a question which I had also wanted to ask. Kyle started talking about them and also about some of the ones he missed out on - Namely his debut at Charlotte in '03, which gave him a chance to take a tongue-in-cheek dig at all the criticism he got for racing in the series as much as he did. "That would've been cool. Damn Kenseth. Those Cup guys, they shouldn't run Xfinity. I don't know why they do." Kyle then got asked about the origins of the bow and recalled it starting with a win at Charlotte, but he couldn't remember the year - at which point I interjected "4!", which got him rolling again but maybe was a bit bold of me to do as someone who was still very new. It was my turn to ask a question next so I asked him about some of the sponsorship partners from all of his wins in the series and if he had heard from any of them. Afterwards, Kyle walked by my workspace while I still had the Racing Reference page for Charlotte 2004 up, so I mentioned it to Kyle again and quickly summarized with something along the lines of this: "It says you beat McMurray, Harvick, and Stewart that day. They were all in the top five." To which Kyle showed a bit of the quick wit he had: "Damn Cup guys."
