  1. i kinda like tulanes head coach. i think he is in the top six all time winning coaches? i watched them and smu thursday night and they were well coached. i have no idea on recruiting or portal nil. but his team was physical and they reminded me a little of an old dye team. i am shocked he has not climbed further up the ladder to one of the big boys. i never saw him well so maybe he is too old? all i know is he has great teams and they play hard for him.

  5. Kevin McCarthy promises revenge and recriminations. But first he has to become House speaker The Fresno Bee Editorial Board 5–6 minutes Having easily dispatched with his latest Democratic opponent in the Nov. 8 election, Republican Kevin McCarthy is readying for the balloting he cares most about: Winning the race to become the next speaker of the House. McCarthy cruised to victory over Marisa Wood, 67.5% to 32.5%, and earned the right to represent the newly drawn 20th District. Besides parts of Bakersfield, which is McCarthy’s hometown, the district stretches north all the way to Clovis and parts of Fresno County. On Wednesday it became official that control of the House would flip from Democrats to Republicans. That means longtime Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi will leave the post. As he readies to get 218 votes of House members to become the next speaker, McCarthy faces more formidable challengers than Wood. Hard-right members of the GOP have made clear they plan to challenge McCarthy for speaker, or else extract concessions from him for their support. For the better part of the last six months, McCarthy has been angling to make those ultra-conservative members of the Freedom Caucus happy. How has he done it? By promising revenge and recriminations for years of House control under Pelosi, the San Francisco Democrat conservatives love to hate. Next up: Recriminations and revenge McCarthy has already pledged to investigate Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department over what he calls “an intolerable state of weaponized politicization.” The threat came in the wake of FBI agents searching former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate for documents he had not returned to government keeping, as required by federal law. Opinion Nevermind Trump should never have taken anything classified or otherwise from the White House once he left it. Nevermind the Justice Department and the AG are just trying to uphold the law. To McCarthy and the GOP, it’s “weaponization.” Next, some of the harshest right-wing House members want McCarthy’s blessing to bring impeachment proceedings against President Biden. Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene has already introduced five articles of impeachment accusing Biden of abusing his power while serving as vice president to benefit his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. Other conservatives bash Biden for losing immigration control of the border or for the disjointed withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. According to The New York Times, a total of 10 House Republicans have either introduced or sponsored a total of 21 articles of impeachment against Biden and his top officials. Cutting government spending and reinvigorating American oil and gas exploration are other GOP priorities McCarthy wants to pursue. Cutting Social Security or Medicare would seriously hurt low-income seniors in his 20th District. To say nothing of oil and gas production that only worsens climate change and makes more air pollution in his new district, which happens to be one of the most polluted in the nation. Elections have consequences, so get ready for those unleashed by McCarthy if he becomes second in line to the presidency. As Speaker—I will take action to fix what Nancy Pelosi so badly broke. House Republicans' work begins immediately: • Deliver on our Commitment to America • Hold this Administration accountable • Stop the Biden agenda pic.twitter.com/ATYpIhOrLu — Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) November 16, 2022 Needed most: A Valley agenda “Stopping the Biden agenda,” as McCarthy promises to do, means playing lots of inside-the-Beltway politics. That requires time and attention. But how about an agenda for the San Joaquin Valley and its problems? McCarthy well knows about one major problem facing Valley farmers: having enough water. With the impacts of the ongoing California drought and a 2014 state law that put limits on how much groundwater pumping farmers could do, about 500,000 acres of farmland in the Valley may be taken out of production in the Valley in the coming decades, reports the Public Policy Institute of California. The PPIC has said that if fallowed land is not carefully planned for, blowing dust will be the result, adding to the Valley’s already bad air quality. Public health will suffer. Then there are economic impacts of any slowdown in farming. Advocates for farm workers, a group estimated to number about 170,000, worry that widespread fallowing of land will mean unemployment for these people. That, in turn, would hurt the small towns throughout the Valley with businesses that cater to field workers. This is but one example of challenges facing McCarthy’s home region. Unemployment in the counties he represents is well above the state average. The region’s young people are way behind their peers statewide for attaining a college education. And poverty, a decades-long burden on the Valley, remains as firmly entrenched as ever. As the new year beckons and McCarthy strives mightily to win enough votes for his cherished dream of becoming House speaker, he must remember the multifaceted plight of the Valley while he engages his GOP revenge mode. If all McCarthy ends up doing is keeping Taylor Greene happy, he will have failed the people of his district, and America.
  6. White House Responds to GOP’s Hunter Biden Probe: ‘Long-Debunked Conspiracy Theories’ Isaac Schorr 4–5 minutes The White House has responded to House Republicans’ announcement that they would be opening a probe into Joe Biden’s involvement with his son Hunter’s business interests by casting the probe as an exploration of “long-debunked conspiracy theories.” “President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities, and we hope congressional Republicans will join us in tackling them instead of wasting time and resources on political revenge,” said a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office. At a press conference held on Thursday morning, Representatives James Comer (R., Ky.) and Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) announced that House Republicans would be opening up an investigation to determine the extent of President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s business dealings. According to Comer and Jordan, Republicans have already gathered incriminating evidence of wire fraud, violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, money laundering, and tax evasion, among other crimes allegedly committed by the Bidens. Jordan, who is expected to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee now that Republicans have secured a narrow majority in the chamber, plans to make the Biden’s overseas business dealings a central focus of the committee’s oversight efforts in the new Congress. “As part of our investigation, we have evidence that the finances, credit cards, and bank accounts of Hunter and Joe Biden were co-mingled, if not shared. And on some accounts at least, red flags were raised by banks to the account owner or owners indicating suspicious or illegal activity,” said Comer, who also noted that Hunter Biden’s business associates met with his father on numerous occasions while Biden was serving as vice president. The Bidens “flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family,” said Comer. The business activity and drug use of Hunter Biden has long been a political liability for the president, who has stood by and stated that he is “proud” of his son. House Republicans followed up the press conference by releasing a report Thursday that outlines their past and future investigative efforts. “Committee Republicans’ investigation has uncovered evidence demonstrating deliberate, repeated deception of the American people, abuse of the Executive Branch for personal gain, use of government power to obstruct the investigation and prevent transparency, and potential violations of the United States Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause,” the report reads. “The President’s personal participation in his family’s global business ventures — committed through and by a complex network of relatives and associates to enrich the Biden family — has exposed the United States to national security risks that could be leveraged by our enemies to undermine the Office of the President,” the report continues. According to a Washington Post report from last month, the U.S. attorney in Delaware is currently mulling charges against Hunter Biden, who has been presented with evidence by federal investigators that Biden has committed tax evasion and lied about his drug use on a form he filled out in order to purchase a firearm. He was using crack cocaine at the time. Hallie Biden, Hunter’s late older brother Beau’s widow, and Hunter’s ex- girlfriend, hid the weapon from him because she was “scared” he would “use it.”
  7. GOP’s First Move After Winning The House: Investigating Hunter Biden Arthur Delaney 4–5 minutes WASHINGTON — In their first press conference after winning control of the House of Representatives, Republicans said they’d uncovered crimes committed by President Joe Biden’s family. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said Thursday that he and his colleagues have spoken to whistleblowers, reviewed a laptop owned by Biden’s son Hunter, and “received documents” reflecting previously unknown financial transactions. “What we found are business plans aimed at targets around the world based on influence peddling, including with people closely tied to foreign governments like China and Russia,” Comer said. “We also found plans based in the United States where the Biden family swindled investors of hundreds of thousands of dollars — all with Joe Biden’s participation or knowledge.” In the run-up to the midterm elections earlier this month, the GOP pitched a governing agenda focused on inflation and crime. With Democrats retaining control of the Senate and the White House, however, Republicans won’t be able to enact much of an economic plan. But they’ll soon have new power to issue subpoenas and draw attention to the Bidens, and Thursday’s press conference previewed those efforts. Comer’s allegations build on a long-standing Republican focus on Hunter Biden’s efforts to cash in on his family name, which has not yet yielded clear proof of his father’s involvement. Comer said new whistleblower evidence does prove a connection: A committee report issued Thursday states that Joe Biden met with his son’s business associates, but the document provides only circumstantial evidence of the elder Biden’s involvement in business decisions. The document also says the president has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. “Instead of working with President Biden to address issues important to the American people, like lower costs, congressional Republicans’ top priority is to go after President Biden with politically-motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories,” Ian Sams, spokesman for the White House counsel’s office, said in an email. The Justice Department has been investigating Hunter Biden for tax evasion since 2018, under the supervision of a U.S. attorney appointed by then-President Donald Trump, but no charges have been filed. Comer also released a batch of letters to government agencies and associates of Hunter Biden — a not-so-subtle reminder that Republicans will soon be able to enforce their requests for information with court orders. In addition to the allegations against the Bidens, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Republicans would investigate claims of political corruption at the Justice Department, based on allegations from a number of FBI agents-turned-whistleblowers. “One of those agents said — and this is the term he used — he said at the highest levels of the FBI, specifically the Washington field office, he said, ‘It’s rotted to the core,’” Jordan said. Among the whistleblowers is a special agent from Florida who refused to participate in any cases against people who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The agent complained to Congress that the FBI was improperly classifying them as domestic violent extremism to falsely claim a nationwide increase in such cases even though they all stemmed from one incident. Jordan told HuffPost that he didn’t have a problem with the Justice Department prosecuting Jan. 6 rioters; his gripe is merely that the FBI is “cooking the books” with the way it is labeling cases. So far, the FBI has arrested and charged about 900 rioters. “I’ve said all along if people who did wrong on Jan. 6 should be prosecuted,” Jordan said. “But we do have concerns about the political nature of the Justice Department and how things are operating across the board.” During the press conference, Comer stressed that he was speaking only for Oversight Committee Republicans and not the entire House GOP. He noted that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has said Republicans would vote on a bill to undo the boost to IRS enforcement funding that Democrats enacted earlier this year. “We’re focused on a lot of things in Congress, but from the Oversight Committee we’re in charge of investigations,” Comer said. “We feel that this is of the utmost import.”
  8. Key Evangelical Figures Turn On Trump: 'He Used Us' Ed Mazza 2–3 minutes Evangelical figures who previously supported Donald Trump are backing off now that he’s announced his third bid for the presidency. “Donald Trump can’t save America,” Mike Evans told The Washington Post. “He can’t even save himself.” Evans was part of a group of evangelicals who met with Trump at the White House, and at one point gave him an award. Now, he says he’s done with Trump. “He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us,” Evans told the newspaper. “I cannot do that anymore.” Robert Jeffress, one of Trump’s evangelical advisers during the 2016 campaign and a longtime supporter, said he’s not ready to endorse him again. “The Republican Party is headed toward a civil war that I have no desire or need to be part of,” Jeffress told Newsweek, adding that he would “happily” support Trump again if he wins the nomination. That’s not a given, considering Trump’s plunging poll numbers among Republican voters. Jeffress also seemed to subtweet Trump on the day of his 2024 announcement by urging people to buy Mike Pence’s book: Jeffress added on Twitter that he still considers Trump “a great friend and our greatest president since Reagan.” Another onetime faith adviser to Trump, James Robison of Life Outreach International, said in a speech this week that Trump’s ego is getting in the way of the agenda. “If Mr. Trump can’t stop his little petty issues, how does he expect people to stop major issues?” Robison said, according to The Washington Post. He said he told Trump: “Sir, you act like a little elementary schoolchild and you shoot yourself in the foot every morning you get up and open your mouth! The more you keep your mouth closed, the more successful you’re gonna be!” Robison did not say if he was planning to support Trump in 2024. Another evangelical figure who previously endorsed Trump was even more blunt, with Washington Times columnist Everett Piper writing that Trump cost the GOP big in the midterms and could hurt them even more in two years. “The take-home of this past week is simple: Donald Trump has to go,” Piper wrote. “If he‘s our nominee in 2024, we will get destroyed.”
  9. Charles Barkley reveals his top candidate for the vacant Auburn job Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes It has been two-and-a-half weeks since Auburn University elected to part with head football coach Bryan Harsin. With a story of that magnitude rocking Auburn athletics, it is strange that former Auburn Basketball star and current NBA analyst Charles Barkley has stayed quiet. He finally shared his thoughts on the coaching search Thursday. As a guest on “The Next Round” hosted by Lance Taylor, Jim Dunaway, and Ryan Brown, Barkley was asked if he likes the idea of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin becoming the next head coach of Auburn Football. Barkley steered clear of Kiffin in favor of another candidate “I’m going to support whoever the coach is. I personally want Deion Sanders,” Barkley responded. He continued his response by providing two reasons for selecting his top candidate. His first reason was given in a way that only Barkley could give. “He’s gonna recruit like hell,” Barkley said. “Deion (Sanders) is going to win wherever where he goes. If you have ever been around Deion Sanders… I watched that 60 minutes interview about a month ago… I have known Deion Sanders since college, that’s the way he is. He is going to win or be successful at anything he does.” Barkley becomes the second Auburn legend to put a good word out for Deion Sanders. In an interview with Tony Anderson of USA TODAY Sports last month, former Auburn three-sport letter winner Bo Jackson said that he would welcome the idea of Sanders coaching at Auburn. “You can look at what (Sanders has) done for Jackson State and the short amount of time he’s been there,” Jackson said during an episode of Sports Seriously. He has the charisma. He has what it takes because Deion, like myself, we were coached old-school and that’s the way he’s coaching his players. You’re seeing the results.”

  16. What Cadilliac Williams said about Auburn's game vs. WKU on 'Tiger Talk' Updated: Nov. 17, 2022, 6:35 p.m.|Published: Nov. 17, 2022, 6:02 p.m. 5–6 minutes Auburn’s home finale is less than 48 hours away, as fans will file into Jordan-Hare Stadium for the last time this fall when the Tigers host Western Kentucky. Interim coach Cadillac Williams will try to make it two in a row for his alma mater after last week’s emotional and sentimental win against Texas A&M. Kickoff between the Tigers and Hilltoppers is set for 3 p.m. on SEC Network. Read more Auburn football: The story behind Cadillac Williams’ dapper gameday suit Scarbinsky: Gotta be happy for UCF’s Gus Malzahn, who made Auburn a better place Auburn DT Jeffrey M’ba a game-time decision against Western Kentucky Before Auburn heads into its penultimate game of the regular season, Williams made his weekly appearance on the “Tiger Talk” radio show, joining hosts Andy Burcham and Brad Law to preview Saturday’s matchup, which will also represent Auburn’s Senior Day. Below is a quick recap of what Williams had to say during his segments on the show: CADILLAC WILLIAMS -- On settling into a rhythm three weeks into his new role: “Not quite,” but expresses more appreciation for the fans, his players and staff for last week. “It’s been a little challenging, because we have a ballgame this Saturday. It’s one of those things where you have short-term memory, flush it” and turn to WKU. -- On key to turning the page after an emotional win: “One of the big messages is that we got to continue to serve, we got to continue to be disciplined, and we got to continue to believe.” Says the key is to stay in the moment, minute by minute, and enjoying the now. “Nothing is guaranteed, so I feel like if we have that type of attitude, we can beat anybody if we stay present in the moment.” -- His approach to defense: “Let’s simplify. Let’s get these guys playing with confidence.” -- Says that “many, many, many, many moons ago” he was a “decent” safety -- and maybe a bit of a headhunter. -- On his HS coach, Raymond Farmer: “He was ahead of his time. He has us prepared not only physically, but also mentally. He held us accountable and treated everybody fair.” -- On his Senior Day memories as a player: “Very emotional. Just knowing that was going to be my last time in Jordan-Hare suiting up, so I challenged the team that we owe it to these seniors. I challenged the coaches that we owe it to these seniors to send them off the right way.... That’s going to be a tough moment for myself.” -- On his energy on the sideline, Williams says he jogs three miles a couple times a week. He worked to get into better shape during the preseason. “I know I’m not playing the game and I’m not out there on the field, but I’m in that mindset of almost like I am. It’s a good feeling.” -- On what inspired him to be a high-energy coach: Says he’s naturally energetic but was struggling to figure out what kind of head coach he should be. Said a lot of head coaches don’t act that way, but Auburn’s running backs inspired him to be himself. “You know what, I’m about to have fun with it. I’m about to be myself.” -- On his favorite part of the new football facility: “As a player, probably, honestly, it’s the two locker rooms.” There’s one locker room that’s more of a lounge; the other is to get ready for practice. Says as a coach, his favorite aspect is the virtual walkthrough room, where three projectors splice together a life-size image onto the wall, allowing team to do a walkthrough and break down plays/personnel in real time. -- On his favorite piece of football memorabilia: A signed Derrick Brooks jersey from the year Williams got injured, because he thinks “very, very highly” of Brooks. Then he says last week’s game ball tops that. “That game ball is my pride and joy.” -- On fan support this weekend: “Calling out the Auburn family and The Jungle: Let’s show up and show out. It shouldn’t be hard to do; it’s Senior Day, right?” -- On WKU’s offense: “I know they throw it around the yard a lot.” Says Auburn needs to limit explosive plays and rally to the football. WKU throws a lot of screens and gets the ball out of the QB’s hands quickly. -- “I believe in running the football.... When Auburn is at its best, we play defense and we run the football.” Still, he vows the passing game will improve, as will third-down efficiency. “We are going to be ready to play Saturday.” -- “We’re only as strong as our weakest link,” Williams says, praising the next-man-up mentality of the offensive line and the work Will Friend and Kendall Simmons have done with that group in recent weeks.

  18. Jason Campbell wants Auburn to retain Cadillac Williams: 'We want Carnell to be a staple at Auburn' Grant Hughes 3–4 minutes Auburn continues its coaching search as the Tigers look to replace the fired Bryan Harsin. In the meantime, the actual on-field product appears to have improved under interim coach Cadillac Williams, who led the Tigers to an overtime loss against Mississippi State in Week 12 and a 13-10 win over Texas A&M at home last weekend. Former Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell has been impressed by the job Williams has done over the past two weeks and hopes the program will retain him at the end of the season. "I would love to see Carnell at Auburn in some form because he means so much to that university," Campbell said on Thursday's edition of The Paul Finebaum Show. "We want Carnell to be a staple at Auburn. He's been able to basically right the ship. He made the team see things differently. He's made the people inside that building come to work with a little bit more energy. That's what he's all about, just bringing this team together. Until a hire is made, all doors are open. He's really done himself a good service. The last two games he's coached in, he got these kids to play and not quit. That goes a long way." During his playing days, Williams was among the most electric players ever to don an Auburn uniform. He finished his four-year career in 2004 with 3,831 rushing yards, the second-most in Auburn history behind Bo Jackson. Campbell says Williams' successes as a collegiate athlete helps him relate to his players. "Carnell is he's very energetic," Campbell said. "He's very enthusiastic about what he does. I think these kids can relate to him. He's the guy that used to sit in that locker room, played in that football stadium and used to wear that emblem on the side of his helmet. When he speaks, knowing his pedigree, the kids buy into what he's trying to teach them. He brings a different element. They needed a boost of energy and someone to teach them what it looks like to be an Auburn man, what it feels like to play in the SEC, and how you have to compete week in and week out." Campbell says Williams has a bright future in coaching whether or not he remains Auburn's head coach past this season. "He showed people that he can galvanize a bunch of young men, and he can get them to come out and play hard. This is great for his resume," Campbell said. "Whatever happens after the Iron Bowl, we would just love to make sure that he's still here." If Williams isn't the man for the job, Campbell expects athletic director John Cohen to target an offensive-minded coach. Subscribe to 247Sports YouTube for the latest college football, basketball and recruiting news including live college commitments. "I think Auburn is leaning towards an offensive coach," Campbell said. "I just feel like we've sputtered a little bit offensively. I just feel like whoever gets the job is going to be an offensive mind who can galvanize quarterbacks and receivers and put these guys in a situation and score points. It's gonna be an interesting hire." ">247Sports
