you are so stupid it blows my mind. when anyone is killed it IS about guns.drugs might be motive but the guns took those kids lives...

tragedy has been know to do this because of the violence forced upon someone. 2 if you read everything before popping off like you do the articles cover it. you people have been covering up for trump and it is a horrific look when it comes to stuff like this. for the record it is fact that one of trumps wives took trump to court over rape and she won period. did you know that? trump is a convicted rapist already. this is fact. and add the other 26 or more rape and assault charges whom common sense will tell you they are not all lying if any. trump is a powerful man with money and they still seek justice. Add his bragging of grabbing them by the ***** and doing what he wants is another clue. and if you read the above articles you would see he has already done this.a few times. Lets not forget trumps trip with epstein to the island. you think a man who buys hookers and has this many assaults behaved himself? And saying ol epstein was a great guy? and i can only imagine your laughing emoji was over the ladies suffering. just when i thought you could not get any lower you did. good job mikey!

Cam Newton still honors Iron Bowl rivalry 13 years later in humorous Bryce Young message Andrew Hughes ~3 minutes Cam Newton still honored the Iron Bowl while answering a question on the April 26 edition of “Cam Newton’s Take” about Bryce Young — sarcastically, though still in a true Auburn man way, saying that the only drawback was Young’s choice of school, Alabama. “Honestly, it hurts me to say, and the only hurt comes because of the college that he decided to go to,” Newton said. “Other than that, all roads and all fingers are pointing to Bryce Young. You probably say: Why not C.J. Stroud? You probably say: Why not Anthony Richardson? My only knock on Bryce Young is he went to Alabama. And how petty it may sound to some people, you have to be from Alabama or to have gone to Auburn or Alabama to understand the severity of that topic.” Young is the odds-on favorite to be selected No. 1 in the 2023 NFL draft as of April 26. Cam Newton urges Carolina Panthers to take Bryce Young No. 1 overall Newton urged his former team, the Carolina Panthers, to take Young No. 1 overall when they are on the clock. The fellow Heisman winner urged Panthers owner David Tepper to draft the Alabama product. “If I’m the GM, if I’m the head coach, if I’m (team owner) David Tepper, I’m selecting Bryce Young,” Newton said. Newton broke down the intangibles he feels Young has that make the 2021 SEC Offensive Player of the Year the clear top prospect in this year’s quarterback class. “This is how I judge quarterbacks as a whole,” Newton prefaced before saying, “Everybody can throw. Everybody has talent. Everybody has upside. Everybody has intangibles. But the thing that everybody doesn’t have, and it’s simple, is leadership and can you get a (expletive) to follow you. Like, straight up: Can you get somebody to follow you? He has had the ability to play in big games, perform in big games and to get guys to buy into him. You see guys selling out for him.” Newton knows a thing or two about leading his men in big games, having led Auburn to an undefeated season and BCS National Championship in 2010/11 and then bringing the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl 50 in 2016. An Auburn football legend and former No. 1 overall pick in his own right, Newton blessed his rival’s quarterback G.O.A.T. ahead of his potential crowning as the No. 1 pick.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn offeres veteran edge transfer Isaac Ukwu JD McCarthy ~2 minutes The Auburn Tigers are still looking to build depth at the jack linebacker spot and a new transfer target has emerged. Isaac Ukwu has spent the past six seasons at James Madison before entering the transfer portal on Tuesday. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder picked an Auburn offer up just two hours after announcing his plans to transfer. Buy Tigers Tickets He arrived in 2017 and took a redshirt before appearing in three games in 2018. He then missed both 2019 and 2020 with injuries before returning with a vengeance in 2021, being named Second Team All-CAA. He was even better last season, making First Team All-Sun Belt Conference. Ukwu totaled 83 tackles, 27.0 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery over the past two seasons. The Tigers are set to have four players at the jack linebacker spot but redshirt Dylan Brooks is the only returning player after the departures of Derick Hall, Eku Leota, Marcus Bragg, and Joko Willis. Auburn has brought in Vanderbilt transfer Elijah McCallister and freshmen Keldric Faulk and Brenton Williams but is looking to add one more experienced transfer, something Ukwu has plenty of.

si.com A quarterback with Alabama and Auburn ties enters the transfer portal Matthew Jacobs ~3 minutes James Foster is an extremely interesting quarterback transfer James Foster, a former 4-star recruit measuring out at six-foot-two and 220-pounds, out of Montgomery, Alabama, has entered the portal again. If the name sounds familiar, he was a highly touted prospect that Jimbo Fisher of Texas A&M snagged away from Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and FSU back in 2018. He was even on Auburn’s campus as a high school sophomore for a few official visits. Foster didn’t get much of a chance to develop at A&M and transferred out of the conference to the Charlotte 49ers. He was a dynamic player when he was on the field, but they were brief moments of greatness as injury problems kept him sidelined and unable to start. Now he has entered the portal from there hoping for a better finish to his career. He makes for an interesting portal quarterback because of his size and athletic ability. He has spent a ton of time in the weight room getting stacked while injured and looks ready to step up to a Power 5 school. There isn’t a lot of film or experience to draw from with Foster, but there is a ton of potential in what little we do get to see. A great arm, great football IQ, and size could really benefit a team looking for quality depth. Auburn has made no move toward Foster publicly. However, he is a local guy that would love to come back closer to home. Not sure if he fits any need that Auburn has, but he sure is a curiosity with his size and ability. Keep refreshing Auburn Daily to be updated on any transfer portal activity that could affect the Tigers! The Tigers have now had five players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers: Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba Linebacker Kameron Brown Linebacker Desmond Tisdol Linebacker Powell Gordon Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.

collegesportswire.usatoday.com Ole Miss, Minnesota lead list of toughest schedules in 2023 Patrick Conn 9–12 minutes When it comes to the path to the College Football Playoffs, some are easier than others. If your team plays in the Big Ten or SEC conferences, you can almost expect a tough matchup each Saturday. According to the Football Power Index (FPI) generated by ESPN, those two conferences dominate the toughest strength of schedule. It begins with the Ole Miss Rebels at the very top with the toughest schedule. Overall you will find 12 of the conference’s 14 teams among the top 25. The Florida Gators, Auburn Tigers, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Tennessee Vols aren’t far behind Lane Kiffin’s squad. The Big Ten has 10 of their 14 teams in the top 25 led by the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Maryland Terrapins. The two powerhouses, Michigan and Ohio State, also rank among the 25 toughest schedules in college football according to the FPI. The Big 12 and Pac-12 were among the least represented conferences on the list with a combined one team. We check in with the teams facing the toughest roads to the CFP in 2023.

The good news is star running back Tyjae Spears is no longer with the Green Wave. However, they jump right into the meat of SEC play against Alabama and LSU.

The biggest question for this team will be on the offensive side of the ball, which is Freeze’s calling card. The team went with Robby Ashford at quarterback but he completely less than 50% of his passes. T.J. Finley feels like a lost cause and Holden Geriner doesn’t have any experience. That position will be key, they need to figure it out quickly with a trip to College Station in Week 4 of the season. They follow that up by hosting the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.

John Cohen prepared to hash out new SEC schedule at spring meetings Nathan King 4–6 minutes ATLANTA — With Texas and Oklahoma officially on their way to expand the conference for the second time in 11 years, it's likely that the majority of the Hugh Freeze era at Auburn will be in a new age of SEC scheduling. It's unclear at the moment which direction the conference will go in that department, and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey will soon consult his athletic directors and presidents next month at SEC spring meetings. That, of course, includes Auburn AD John Cohen, who said Tuesday he and his peers will need to work hastily to cement those plans with one another. The Sooners and Longhorns will be here this time next year. “We've got to make that decision,” Cohen said before an Auburn AMBUSH alumni event in Atlanta. “Obviously, you're talking about the '24 season, and a lot has to happen quickly.” After clearing payouts to the Big 12 in February, Texas and Oklahoma are officially set to join the league next year. That not only means the conference's impact will grow traditionally and geographically, but it also puts future SEC schedules — and the overall scheduling model in the league, at that — in line to be axed, as it's assumed the conference will go to a nine-game league schedule to accommodate the two additional teams. But all options will be on the table, of course, during the spring meetings, and Cohen said he’s viewed proposals for not only nine-game schedules, but a revised version of the current eight games of SEC competition that have been sensible, in his opinion. He wants to keep an open mind, and he hopes the other decision-makers do the same. “I see benefits to both sides of that issue, with the eight- and nine-game schedule,” Cohen said. “And I feel like a lot of the athletic directors feel the same way. There's merit in both ways, both options.” If the SEC goes to nine games, it's assumed that the conference's divisions are likely toast. The popular answer for an expanded SEC schedule is three permanent opponents and six rotating foes each season. That would mean over the course of four years, a team would face every other program in the SEC, both home and away, at least once. Some SEC coaches have divulged their thoughts or even information about their programs' respective schedules. Nick Saban has indicated that Alabama would receive Auburn, LSU and Tennessee as its three fixed teams — and he wasn't happy about it — while Brian Kelly said he's been told LSU's most likely draw is Alabama, Texas A&M and Ole Miss. Freeze said during spring practice that he has a good idea of who he thinks — or would prefer — Auburn's permanent opponents to be, but it's not worth diving into that discussion just yet. "We all knew coming into this league that when we took these jobs, you’re going to have a hard schedule," Freeze said during Auburn spring practice last month. "Some of us have it harder than others and are used to that. It is what it is and me complaining about it or worrying about it certainly is not going to help us prepare for it. So it is what it is. If you ask me after they’ve decided on the format, I probably could tell you who I’d like for our crossovers to be. It’s probably not going to be those. So it’s really just not worth me worrying about it." Cohen, formerly the athletic director at Mississippi State before being hired as Allen Greene’s replacement at Auburn on Halloween, has been working alongside Sankey since his second year as the conference’s commissioner in 2016. Scheduling isn’t the only issue on the table for the SEC next month — just this week, Sankey said the league is considering heavier penalties for field-stormings — but it is the topic that likely requires the most expeditious attention. “In our league, Greg Sankey has always done a great job of guiding us — not just the athletic directors but the presidents as well and the chancellors,” Cohen said. “We will make the best decision for the Southeastern Conference, collectively. I look forward to discussing that in the room." 14COMMENTS

in a ton of american history and especially during the founding of this country many whites were indentured to work off five to fifteen years of hard labor for an owner or master. then we they finally worked their debt off they were so poor many had to move out into the wilderness where they were easy prey for native americans. the same thing happened in australia as well. i hate slavery of any kind it is pure evil and i could care less who does it. america treated the irish like s*** and even made them fight in the civil war or get deported. the chinese and probably other asians were treated badly as well. it is a bad look period. we still have slavery in the world today. it is all ugly. i am making two points here. one is slavery was a thing in pretty much all countries. my second point is it still goes on in america right now but in many sneaky ways. here is proof.......... humanrightsmeasurement.org The US scores poorly in HRMI’s latest human rights data – Human Rights Measurement Initiative 12–15 minutes This country spotlight refers to data published in 2019. For the most recent data, go to our Rights Tracker. On the last day of 2018, police in California shot and killed a teenager. This unnamed young man, armed with knife, but not fleeing from police, was the 992nd person to be added to the Washington Post Police Shootings database in 2018. A new human rights data release from the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) provides another perspective on the serious problem of police killings in the United States. In 2019 HRMI scores the United States performance on respecting the right to freedom from extrajudicial killing at a very low 3.9 out of 10. Experts contributing to the development of the US scores identified police shootings, especially of African Americans and people of racial minorities, as a leading contributor to this poor score. The word cloud below shows the percentages of expert respondents who identified each group as being particularly at risk of extrajudicial killing. Word cloud showing the percentage of expert respondents who identified each of these groups as being particularly at risk of extrajudicial execution. You can see this image in context on our Rights Tracker. This is just one of the insights into the human rights landscape in the US that come from HRMI’s 2019 data release. Read on for more. The United States scores poorly in 2019 HRMI human rights scores HRMI’s human rights data on the United States include several strikingly poor results. The 12 rights we measure are summarised by three category scores: 2019 HRMI human rights scores for the United States. You can explore the US scores on our Rights Tracker. Empowerment: 4.9 out of 10 The United States scored 4.9 out of 10 for Empowerment rights, measuring: the right to participate in government the right to opinion and expression the right to assembly and association The United States’ Empowerment score of 4.9, based on a detailed survey of human rights experts, suggests that many people are not enjoying their civil liberties and political freedoms. Safety from the State: 5.4 out of 10 The United States scored 5.4 out of 10 for Safety from the State rights, measuring: freedom from torture freedom from execution freedom from disappearance freedom from arbitrary or political arrest and detention The United States’ Safety from the State score of 5.4, based on a detailed survey of human rights experts, suggests that many people are not safe from arbitrary arrest, torture, disappearance, execution or extrajudicial killing. HRMI co-founder, and Civil and Political Rights Lead, Dr K Chad Clay, calls the United States scores ‘very concerning, but sadly, not surprising.’ He says, ‘These results show that the United States’ human rights practices do not live up to its government’s rhetoric. Indeed, the United States’ performance on human rights falls well short of that observed in other high income democracies around the world.’ Quality of Life: 82.8% The score of 82.8% for Quality of Life is a measure of how well the United States uses its wealth to ensure people’s rights to food, education, health, housing and work are met, taking into account its income. The score is produced by using data from international databases, and measuring outcomes against what other countries with a similar income level have been able to achieve. Because the score takes income into account, every country should achieve 100%. The United States’ score shows that it is only doing 82.8% of what should be possible right now with the resources it has. Since anything less than 100% indicates that a country is not meeting its current duty under international human rights law, HRMI’s assessment is that the United States has some way to goto meet its immediate economic and social rights duty. HRMI co-founder, and economic and social rights lead Dr Susan Randolph says of the United States’ performance, ‘With regard to economic and social rights, on average across the five economic and social rights considered, the United States only achieves 82.8% of what evidence shows is feasible at its per capita income level. This places it in the bottom third of high income countries with full data on all five rights, just behind Luxembourg and just ahead of Hungary. The United States’ greatest deficiencies occur for the rights to work and education where it only achieves 66% and 76%, respectively, of what the best performing countries have at its per capita income level.’ What’s going on in the United States? Themes from the 2019 data 2019 HRMI human rights scores for the United States. You can explore the US scores on our Rights Tracker. US scores very poorly for both executions and extrajudicial killing The United States is one of only four countries in our 19 country sample to have executed people using the death penalty in 2018, and the only high income democracy in our sample to have done so. The US also has a strikingly bad score for extrajudicial killing, 3.9 out of 10, particularly because of the lethal force used by police against African Americans and other people of colour. The chart below shows that the US score on this right is near the bottom of the sample, in company with Saudi Arabia and Mexico. Scores for 19 countries on the right to freedom from extrajudicial execution. Explore the data on our Rights Tracker. Voter suppression is widespread and affects people of colour the most The United States’ score for the right to participate in government is just 4 out of 10. Our expert respondents pointed to widespread voter suppression, especially affecting African Americans and other people of colour. Every single expert respondent listed race as a factor that made people vulnerable to abuse of this right, as indicated in the word cloud below. The numbers in parentheses show the percentage of expert respondents who identified each group of people as being particularly at risk of violations of this right. 2019 HRMI data on the United States, showing the people at particular risk of abuse of the right to participate in government.

Native Americans were identified by experts we surveyed as being particularly vulnerable to abuses of nearly every one of the rights we measure. US healthcare system fails to give effect to people’s right to health The United States scored 93.3% for the right to health. This score measures performance and adjusts for income, so anything less than 100% indicates a country has a long way to go to meet even its most pressing minimum obligations under international law. The word cloud below shows the percentage of our expert respondents who said these people were most at risk of not having their right to health realised. 2019 HRMI data on the United States, showing the people at particular risk of abuse of the right to health.

US is a difficult environment for unions Forty percent of our expert respondents said that ‘all people’ were at risk of violations of their rights to unionise. Further, the United States’ score for the right to work (which includes the right to social security) was in the bottom half of countries that received scores for this right, behind Russia, France and Hungary. The US scores for Safety from the State are disturbingly poor In the HRMI 2019 sample of 19 countries where our expert survey was carried out, the US score for Safety from the State (freedom from torture, arbitrary arrest, execution, and disappearance), 5.4, falls in the bottom third of the table. As shown in the table below, the countries with the best results for Safety from the State are New Zealand, United Kingdom, and South Korea. By contrast, the countries clustered around the United States’ score are Vietnam, Angola, and Mozambique. HRMI chart showing the performance of 19 countries for Safety from the State.

Here are some of the most striking findings: African American people were identified by experts we surveyed as being particularly vulnerable to abuses of every one of the rights we measure. African Americans were mentioned most often by experts as being at risk of violations of these rights: freedom from extrajudicial killing: particularly through the use of lethal force by law enforcement officers right to participate in government: particularly because of voter suppression efforts freedom from torture freedom from execution via the death penalty all Quality of Life rights (food, education, health, housing, and work) Native Americans were identified by experts we surveyed as being particularly vulnerable to abuses of nearly every one of the rights we measure.

She testified, “I’m here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it did not happen.” She testified that she and Trump went together to the lingerie department on the sixth floor of Bergdorf Goodman, flirting. When they got there,Trump followed her into the dressing room and pushed her against the wall, knocking her head and disorienting her. He also pulled down her tights, stuck his fingers inside of her vagina—causing her great pain—and stuck his penis inside of her vagina, for a period of time, while she struggled against him. This testimony is the key to the case. If the jury believes it, they will find Trump liable for the rape of E. Jean Carroll, and likely award her significant damages. If the jury does not believe it, they will return a verdict in favor of the former President. Based upon more than 25 years of experience as a trial attorney, including service as an Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting sex crimes, I believe that it is highly likely that the jurors have already made up their minds about whether Carroll is telling the truth—before she has completed her direct testimony and long before Donald Trump’s attorneys have the opportunity to cross-examine her. This case won’t be a “he said, she said” case—because Trump is unlikely to testify. In fact, Trump has not attended the trial at all so far. During opening statements, his attorney, Joe Tacopina, appeared to indicate that the trend would continue, saying that Trump’s testimony would only occur in deposition excerpts. Trump’s witness list consists of only two people, Donald Trump and Dr. Edgar Nace, a psychiatric expert witness. E.

Reuters//Eduardo Munoz Trump also is not presenting any exhibits, other than excerpts from depositions. If he does not testify, the only way he will get facts into evidence will be through cross-examination of Ms. Carroll’s witnesses. Ms. Carroll, on the other hand, will present a number of corroborating witnesses: Lisa Birnbaum: The bestselling author will testify that Carroll told her immediately after the incident what Trump had done to her. She will also testify that she told Carroll that she had been “raped.” Carol Martin: The first African-American anchor on local news in New York City (for over two decade) will likewise testify that Carroll told her immediately of the rape by Trump. Martin will testify that she told Carroll not to pursue the case, because he had "200 lawyers” and would destroy her. Jessica Leeds: Another of Trump’s alleged victims, she will testify that she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump when she sat next to him on a flight in the 1970s, when he attempted to place his fingers inside of her vagina. Natasha Stoynoff: Then a reporter for People Magazine, she will testify that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was at Mar-A-Lago in the early 2000s, working on a story. Carroll is also set to present the infamous “Access Hollywood” video, in which Donald Trump bragged that he could grab women “by the *****” without consent, because he was “a star.” Perhaps even more importantly, Carroll already addressed most of the points that Trump’s attorneys wanted to make on cross-examination. Former President Donald Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina makes opening statements during a civil trial where E. Jean Carroll accuses him of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Reuters/Jane Rosenberg When I was trained as an AUSA, I was taught to use the BOBS (Bring Out the Bad Stuff) to blunt the effectiveness of cross-examination of my witnesses. A skilled trial attorney will raise every point that they expect the defense to make on cross-examination (1), in order to build credibility with the jury and give the witness the opportunity to explain before facing closed-end (“yes or no”) questions from opposing counsel. Carroll’s attorney used BOBS masterfully during her testimony today. She explained that: She was flirting with Donald Trump prior to the sexual assault. The door to the dressing room was open while she was assaulted, but she was trapped by Trump, who weighed at least “100 pounds more” than her. She did not scream during the attack—saying Wednesday, “I’m a fighter, not a screamer.” She did not write down anything about the attack in her diary. She added that she never puts negative things into her diary. She did not file a police report (saying that she was convinced by Carol Martin that she would be “destroyed” by Trump if she did). She could not recall the precise date, week, month or year of the attack (although she claimed it likely occurred in late 1995 or early 1996). She is a registered Democrat. Her book that described the attack had virtually no sales. These were most of the points that Tacopina made during his opening argument. While I would imagine that he will return to these points during his cross-examination, the jurors may consider these points “old news.” Another snafu for the Trump team happened just as the trial was starting this morning, when Donald Trump posted two messages on his social media platform, Truth Social, about this case. Both messages used Trump’s favorite phrase—“witch hunt”—to describe the proceedings. He accused Carroll’s lead attorney, Roberta Kaplan, of being a “political operative, financed by a big political donor.” In one message, he wrote, “Does anybody believe that I would take a then almost 60-year-old woman (2) that I didn’t know from the front door of a very crowded department store” and have sex with her. He also attacked the Court for denying his 11th hour attempt to introduce DNA evidence that he had previously refused to provide to the Plaintiff. When plaintiff’s counsel brought these social media posts to the attention of Judge Lewis Kaplan, the judge made it clear to Trump’s lawyers he was not amused. E. Jean Carroll departs the Manhattan federal courthouse in New York City. Reuters/Brendan McDermid He also stated that Trump was creating additional potential liability for himself. He noted that he had specifically forbidden the parties from raising to the jury the issue of third party funding for Carroll’s attorneys. He also said that it appeared Trump was attempting to influence his supporters, or the jury (or both) with his posts. When Judge Kaplan was later informed that Eric Trump had made additional social media posts about the trial, he warned that there were laws against such actions (likely describing 18 USC Section 1504, which makes it a crime to create a writing designed to influence a juror in a pending trial). Trump’s attorney stated that he would take action to avoid a repeat of these social media posts (3). Judge Kaplan, in a comment that seemed to indicate that he doubted whether Mr. Tacopina would be successful in getting his client to stop, made it clear that continued statements could have dire consequences for Donald and/or Eric Trump. But despite all the hoopla, when the jurors left the courtroom today, each of them likely had a strong belief whether the testimony they just had heard from E. Jean Carroll was the truth or a lie. If they believe she told the truth, I doubt there is anything that will come out in the rest of the trial that will cause them to change their minds. If they believe she lied (in graphic detail), I also doubt anything else at trial will cause them to change their minds. Which is it? Only time will tell. 1: One of the best examples of BOBS was in the movie 8 Mile, where Eminem won the final rap battle by reciting all of the ugly facts that he thought his opponent (Clarence) would use. After that, Clarence had nothing left to say and just gave up. 2: Carroll was, in fact, 52 years old at the time of the alleged rape. 3: Tacopina also cried foul about press accounts that Carroll had conducted two trials in front of “mock juries” and that each time the verdict came out in her favor.

let me tell you about those stairs. i got drunk with a neighborhood friend at an Auburn game.i cannot remember the game. anyway i had a slight miscalculation and tumbled down several rows of seats and steps. i was so embarrassed i jumped up hoping no one saw me and and here comes a dozen Auburn fans running up to see if i was alright. i never drank that much at a game again. i was fortunate nothing was hurt but my ego.

i have special love for kids that want to be here. i think it always makes a difference.

i have no idea mr mims. i just thought it was interesting. i do wish we would spend more on education so there would be less dummies like me. am i right? grins.........

thanx for taking the time to answer! you win today's "YOU ROCK" award. see golf for what you won................

i just want to say i am very curious to see how sanders does and we were very interested in him. this is why i do not mind keeping up with deion. the man is a legend just like bo is. the only thing i hate about him and it is really not hate is that no pass interference call that cost us that game. other than that i hope he kills it. besides i take bo at his word on football. here is a quick refresher.... Reflecting on the success Sanders achieved in two years with the Tigers program, Jackson was asked if he thought Sanders would be a good fit with his alma mater, Auburn. “Deion could coach anywhere in the country — college or professional level — that he wants to,” Jackson said.Oct 27, 2022

news.yahoo.com US spent $877 billion on its military in 2022, new report says. That's more than 10 times what the federal government spent on education. Peter Gelling ~3 minutes US Military membersBo Zaunders/Getty Images The world spent more money than ever on its militaries in 2022, a new report found. The US spent $877 billion in 2022, which accounts for almost 40 percent of all spending. By comparison, the US federal government allocated just $76.4 billion for education in 2022. The world's governments are spending more money than ever on their militaries, a new report finds. And, to no one's surprise, the United States leads them all. The United States spent a total of $877 billion on its military in 2022, according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, which maintains a database on military spending around the world. - ADVERTISEMENT - That's almost 40% of total global military spending and possibly as much as three times more than the second-biggest spender, China — though it's hard to know for sure how much China is spending. "In 2022 the USA allocated $295 billion to military operations and maintenance, $264 billion to procurement and research and development, and $167 billion to military personnel," the report says. By comparison, the US federal government allocated just $76.4 billion in discretionary spending for education that same year. That means the US federal government is spending more than 10 times as much on its military than it is on its education. While state and local municipalities also contribute money to education, the Biden administration has requested just $90 billion for education in 2024 and $842 billion for defense. Total global military spending reached an all-time high in 2022, the report found. Governments shelled out about $2.24 trillion. That's a 3.7% increase from 2021, which was the biggest year-on-year increase in more than 30 years. European countries saw the largest increases in spending, driven in large part by Russia's invasions of Ukraine in February last year. The report found that, in real terms, European military spending had returned to levels not seen since the Cold War. "The continuous rise in global military expenditure in recent years is a sign that we are living in an increasingly insecure world," Nan Tian, a senior researcher at SIPRI, wrote in the report. "States are bolstering military strength in response to a deteriorating security environment, which they do not foresee improving in the near future." April 25, 2023: This story has been updated to reflect that the education spending noted in this story is by the US federal government, and doesn't include funding on the state and local levels. Read the original article on Insider wwhen i worked in the pentagon years ago it was in the Chief of Naval Operations. all captains wer considered part of his staff.one of the captains told me there was two budgets for the military. the one you see and a secret one you do not see or hear about. he said if the average american knew this they would be upset. i believe and i doubt this has changed any if at all.
