  8. Mitch McConnell criticized for urging action on Supreme Court protection but not Uvalde Morgan Watkins, Louisville Courier Journal Thu, June 9, 2022 at 12:48 PM U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell made remarks during the Memorial Day Service held at the Cave Hill National Cemetery in Louisville, Ky. on May 30, 2022. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called for immediate action in Congress this week after a man who reportedly threatened U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life got arrested, with weapons in his possession, near the powerful judge's home. Yet the Kentucky senator's demand that the Democrat-led House of Representatives pass a bill extending police-provided security to Supreme Court justices' family members drew criticism online as people juxtaposed his urgency on that with his wait-and-see approach to potential legislation meant to respond to the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. More: Texas shooting raises pressure on Mitch McConnell to pass gun laws. Why it will likely fail McConnell gave back-to-back speeches on the Senate floor Wednesday and Thursday morning demanding House Democrats quit holding up this bipartisan bill aimed at better protecting the justices and their families. Comparatively, he has not used his routine daily speeches on the Senate floor to demand legislative action to address mass shootings in the wake of last month's massacre in Uvalde, where a gunman slaughtered 19 children and two teachers. Since that May 24 shooting, McConnell has given six of his usual opening speeches on the Senate floor on days when the chamber meets. He mentioned Uvalde in one of them, the day after the massacre. McConnell spokesman Robert Steurer told The Courier Journal Thursday that the senator supports the negotiations between Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, on a potential bill responding to the Uvalde shooting, and he "hopes they deliver a bipartisan outcome." "Those ongoing Senate talks are no excuse for House Democrats continuing to block the bipartisan Supreme Court security bill that the Senate already passed unanimously a month ago," Steurer said. "Yesterday’s disturbing events show that Democrats have already delayed this noncontroversial bill for far too long." Here's a look at what McConnell has said about the apparent threat to Kavanaugh, the Uvalde shooting and the potential for Congress to take action due to those incidents: What McConnell said about the arrest near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home McConnell has urged House Democrats to quit holding up the Supreme Court Police Parity Act, which senators of both parties unanimously passed on May 9 to authorize security for the justices' families. The Senate passed that bill after people protested at justices' homes once a leaked draft ruling showed the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion. McConnell — who helped establish the current conservative majority on the court that, in turn, may decide this month to nix Roe v. Wade — slammed leading House Democrats for holding up that proposal since then. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., left, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, right, talk to reporters following a closed-door policy meeting at the Capitol in Washington on March 8, 2016. In the aftermath of recent horrific mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, a bipartisan group of senators, including Cornyn and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., are holding private virtual meetings during recess to try to strike a compromise over gun safety legislation. "Well this is where we are. ...If these reports are correct, an assassination attempt against a sitting justice, or something close to it," McConnell said Wednesday on the Senate floor. "This is exactly, exactly why the Senate passed legislation very shortly after the leak to enhance the police protection for justices and their families." "No more fiddling around with this," he demanded of House Democrats. "They need to pass it today." The House didn't approve the bill "before the sun sets" Wednesday, as McConnell urged. What it did pass that day was a slate of gun reforms on a mainly party-line vote, with Democrats voting 'yes' and Republicans voting 'no.' (That package isn't expected to clear the Senate.) Leading House Democrats attributed the delay in voting on the Supreme Court bill to their interest in expanding its scope to provide protection not only for justices' families but also for the families of court staffers in certain situations. Numerous accounts on Twitter posted criticisms of McConnell's reaction Wednesday to the arrest near Kavanaugh's home, suggesting his immediate push for legislative action to better protect justices' families was hypocritical given his history of opposing legislative action to try to protect Americans from gun violence in the wake of repeated mass shootings. And on "The View" talk show, host Joy Behar likewise criticized McConnell for demanding action on Supreme Court protections but not on recent mass shootings in Texas and New York, saying: "Nothing on Uvalde so far, and nothing on Buffalo ... he's worried about, you know, the Supreme Court. That is his urgency." McConnell gave another speech on the Senate floor Thursday demanding action on the Supreme Court bill, saying this "urgent and uncontroversial bill" has "inexplicably" sat on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk for weeks, among other, related criticisms he leveled at Democratic leaders. "So, it's hard to avoid concluding that perhaps some Democrats may want this dangerous climate hanging over the justices' heads as they finish up this term," he said. "A disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty." Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, similarly expressed concern last month about the hold-up in the House over this bill. Pelosi indicated Thursday that the House will vote on the Supreme Court bill next week. What McConnell has said on Uvalde shooting, possible legislation on guns, etc. McConnell spoke of prayer the morning after the Uvalde massacre, but he said nothing about enacting new gun laws. He has, however, expressed an openness to considering whatever legislation emerges from the bipartisan group of senators who are working to craft a proposal in the wake of Uvalde as well as another mass shooting last month in Buffalo, where a white man linked to white supremacist hatred is charged with killing 10 people and injuring three others, nearly all of them Black. McConnell — who, like many of his GOP colleagues, has consistently voted against stricter gun regulations — refused to say, during a D.C. press conference Tuesday, if he'd support raising the age limit for buying semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 years old (which was part of the gun regulations the House passed Wednesday). Instead, he indicated he's waiting to see what (if any) legislation results from ongoing negotiations between several senators of both parties. "I personally would prefer to get an outcome, and I hope that we'll have one sooner rather than later," he said. Morgan Watkins is The Courier Journal's chief political reporter.

  10. Pediatrician treating Uvalde shooting victims said 2 kids were so badly hit they could only be identified by their 'blood-spattered cartoon clothes' Bill Bostock Thu, June 9, 2022 at 5:33 AM Roy Guerrero, a pediatrician from Uvalde, Texas, testifies to the House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on gun violence.STEFANI REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images A gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last month. A local pediatrician recounted the scene in the hospital afterwards to US lawmakers on Wednesday. Dr. Roy Guerrero said two victims were "pulverized" by bullets, rendering them recognizable only by their clothes. A pediatrician who treated victims of the Uvalde shooting said two children were so damaged by bullets that they could only be identified by their "blood-spattered cartoon clothes." A gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, killing 19 children and two teachers. Giving testimony to House lawmakers Wednesday ahead of a hearing on gun violence, Dr. Roy Guerrero, a pediatrician who was working at Uvalde Memorial Hospital on the day of the shooting, described the scene as the victims were rushed into his hospital. "I had heard from some of the nurses that there were two dead children who had been moved to the surgical area of the hospital. What I did find was something no prayer will ever relieve," he said. "Two children, whose bodies had been so pulverized by the bullets fired at them, decapitated, whose flesh had been so ripped apart, that the only clue as to their identities was the blood-spattered cartoon clothes still clinging to them. Clinging for life and finding none." "I could only hope these two bodies were a tragic exception to the list of survivors. But as I waited there with my fellow Uvalde doctors, nurses, first responders and hospital staff for other casualties we hoped to save, they never arrived," he added. According to reports at the time, the gunman fired more than 100 rounds while in the school using an AR-15 style rifle that he had bought days prior to the shooting. After the shooting, parents of Robb Elementary students awaiting news were asked to hand over DNA samples so that the victims could be matched to their families. In a speech delivered at the White House on Tuesday, the actor Matthew McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, held up a pair of green trainers, saying they were the only thing that authorities were able to use to identify 10-year-old victim Maite Rodriguez. "These are the same green Converse on her feet that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her after the shooting," McConaughey said. House lawmakers are currently discussing the need for gun control in the wake of Uvalde ahead of a vote on a bill proposing a slew of new restrictions. As of Wednesday, there had been 33 more mass shootings in US since Uvalde.

  16. ‘These people should be put to death’: DFW pastor calls for LGBT people to be executed James Hartley Wed, June 8, 2022 at 10:09 PM The pastor of a North Texas church evicted in February from its building for trying to incite violence against the LGBT community is facing protests again after calling for gay people to be executed. “What does God say is the answer, is the solution for the homosexual in 2022, here in the New Testament, here in the book of Romans? That they are worthy of death,” preacher Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga said in a Sunday sermon. Hillary Ward puts up a Pride flag while protesting near Stedfast Baptist Church where a pastor preaches against homosexuality Wednesday, June 1, 2022, in Watauga. “These people should be put to death,” Awes continued. “Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime, the abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial, they should be sentenced to death, they should be lined up against a wall and shot in the back of the head.” Brandy Sotillo, the mother of an LGBT child and a woman who herself identifies as LGBT, has been protesting outside the church at every sermon for nine months. She was protesting when the church was based out of Hurst, the location from which they were evicted for breaching their lease and advocating violence against LGBT people, and showed up to the first sermon at the new location in Watauga. She said she wasn’t surprised by the words she heard in that sermon, but that she has been surprised by how much more support she’s had in her protests outside the church. On Wednesday night, she estimated 40 to 50 people had shown up to join her protest and another 200 had requested to join a Facebook group she runs, No Hate in Hurst. She said the latest sermon, a video of which has gone viral on social media, was “absolutely horrific to hear.” The protests came after Jonathan Shelley, another leader of Stedfast Baptist Church, two weeks ago went to an Arlington City Council meeting and said similarly that gays deserved to be killed. He advocated for enforcing an old Texas law outlawing “sodomy” that was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2003 in the Lawrence V. Texas case and did not carry a death penalty. “What these people do is filthy,” Shelley said at the council meeting during its public comment section. He also called gay people pedophiles and used part of the time addressing the council to plug a homophobic political movie he directed and released in 2021. Shelley told the Star-Telegram he and his congregation were the victims of hatred from the LGBT community because of the protests Sotillo leads and, at the council meeting, said the LGBT community is “bullying people” with Pride Month. “These protesters have been publicly doxing me on social media by sharing all of my personal information, and trying to harass me as much as possible,” Shelley said in an email to the Star-Telegram when protests picked up after his comments to the city council. “The LGBTQ community is extremely hateful, rebellious, and violent as the Bible describes in Romans 1.” Shelley also said he does not promote “vigilante justice” against the LGBT community and insinuated that protesters outside his church were potentially dangerous for the church, its property and the property of its neighbors. He compared gay people to murderers, rapists and people who practice bestiality. In 2016, the church’s then pastor, Donnie Romero, prayed for the victims of the shooting targeting gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida, to die. Romero resigned from the church in 2019 after protests at the church. With the sermon on Sunday calling for the execution of gay people, Sotillo said the protests outside the church will only grow. She doesn’t see herself staying home from protests or stopping organizing them anytime in the near future, as long as Stedfast Baptist Church is there. “We’re a peaceful protest,” Sotillo told the Star-Telegram. “We come out here because of the hatred they spew at us every week.” some of those folks professing the love of jesus are nothing more than american taliban. trust me folks if religion is not about love then you missed the message.
  17. you cannot change history once it happens but that is a fact. those pesky slaves and native americans got it then and are pretty much still getting it now. but i get it. playing with guns is more important than childrens lives. got it!

The Tigers had two first-team selections, running back Tank Bigsby and defensive lineman Derick Hall. Defensive lineman Colby Wooden and punter Oscar Chapman were named to the second-team. Linebacker Owen Pappoe, offensive lineman Keiondre Jones, and kicker Anders Carlson each made the third-team. Tight end John Samuel Shenker and safety Zion Puckett were fourth-team selections. Check out the full teams below. A message from Athlon Sports on how they select the teams. These are based on how players will perform in 2022. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2022 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections.

  19. Ranking Auburn football's nine transfer portal additions Here are Auburn's transfer portal additions ranked, based on instant impact. Andrew Stefaniak 20 hours ago Auburn has added nine players via the transfer portal so far this offseason. The Tigers added Zach Calzada, a quarterback from Texas A&M, Robby Ashford, a quarterback from Oregon, Craig McDonald, a defensive back from Iowa State, DJ James, a defensive back from Oregon, Jayson Jones, a defensive lineman from Oregon, Eugene Asante a linebacker from North Carolina, Dazalin Worsham a receiver from Miami, Morris Joesph, a defensive lineman from Memphis, and last but not least Koy Moore a receiver from LSU. Some of these additions will help the team this year, while others will be fix-up projects for the future. Coach Bryan Harsin and his coaching staff did a pretty good job of bringing in talent from the portal, but a few positions needed a player or two, and it didn't happen. There were two main positions that Auburn needed help in as we headed into the off-season, and they were receiver and offensive line. The coaching staff filled the hole at receiver by adding Moore and Worsham. While it is great that they brought in these two talented receivers, the staff did not get a single offensive lineman from the portal. This has scared Auburn fans as we prepare for the 2022 season. Let's rank the nine Tiger transfer portal additions based on their impact this upcoming season. 9. Dazalin Worsham, WR © Mickey Welsh, Montgomery Advertiser via Imagn Content Services, LLC Worsham was a highly coveted recruit coming out of high school. He eventually decided to start his college football career at Miami. He was there for a couple of years and did not record a stat. Injury played a key role in him not getting any playing time. I do not see a world where he has an impact in 2022, but he could be a player to help in the future since he has a lot of eligibility left. 8. Robby Ashford, QB (AP Photo/Butch Dill) Ashford was a player that had no clear path to the starting job until the A-Day game. He performed well in the spring game and won the hearts of Auburn fans. While some fans want Ashford to be the starter in 2022, I don't see a world where that happens. I believe Ashford will start the year third on the depth chart behind Calzada and Finley. 7. Eugene Asante, LB Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Asante is an exciting addition to the Auburn roster. He played a massive role for UNC in 2021 and performed well. Asante has a clear path to playing time. It will be a battle between Asante, Cam Riley, and Wesley Steiner. Asante will definitely see the field some in 2022 the question is how much. 6. Morris Joseph, DL © Joe Rondone, Joe Rondone/The Commercial Appeal, Memphis Commercial Appeal via Imagn Content Services, LLC Joseph is a defensive lineman using his grad transfer year to play for the Auburn Tigers. He played a lot of snaps for Memphis over the years and got an excellent grade from PFF every year. Joseph will get a lot of playing time this year for an already really deep Tiger defensive line. Joseph would have had a chance to be higher on these rankings, but he will only be with the Tigers for one season. 5. Koy Moore, WR © Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports Moore is the most recent addition, being added only a few days ago. Moore is a receiver coming into a room of fellow wideouts that is not very deep. He has SEC experience playing in more than ten games in his time at LSU. He has a chance to be an excellent possession receiver that can help the team this year and going forward. 4. Jayson Jones, DL Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics Jones is a very athletic defensive lineman. He is a monstrous human, standing 6'6 and weighing 328 pounds. He saw a good amount of playing time last year at Oregon, and he can help the defensive line this year. I foresee Jones playing a lot of snaps for a very talented Tigers defensive front. 3. Craig McDonald, S © Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports McDonald is another player that played a lot of snaps last season. At Iowa State, he put up solid numbers in 2021 and was a key player in the defensive backfield. He is a very interesting player because he can play both safety and corner at a very high level. He is an exciting addition that can help the Tigers in many different ways this upcoming season. 2. DJ James, CB © Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports James is a player that I got really excited about when he first committed to Auburn. He played a massive role at Oregon and will at Auburn this upcoming season. He is a really good cornerback that is as good in helping stop the run as he is in coverage. I believe James will be a starter for the Tigers in 2022 and put up impressive numbers. 1. Zach Calzada, QB Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images No surprise Calzada is atop this list as he projects to be Auburn's starting quarterback in 2022. He put up decent numbers at Texas A&M in 2021 but definitely has some room to improve. Last season at A&M, Calzada beat Auburn's rival, the Crimson Tide of Alabama. This shows that he can perform on a big stage. Calzada is a very gritty player, and he will have a great season at the helm of the Auburn offense. It will be very interesting to see the roles these different portal additions play, but to say the least, you will see many of these players on the field in 2022.
  20. i am just not that butt hurt about it. if it gets worse i might be because i want him around for a long time. as an aside go look what i posted about kodi burns in football. they might move it but it is a must read! have a good one coffee............
  21. Why the Saints see 'a future star' in new receivers coach Kodi Burns LUKE JOHNSON | Staff writer 6-7 minutes At the intersection of the time-honored way of doing things and the desire to be on the cutting edge was the New Orleans Saints’ decision to hire receivers coach Kodi Burns this offseason. It was traditional word of mouth that initially put the Saints’ crosshairs on Burns, who’d spent the first seven years of his coaching career in the college ranks, most recently with Auburn and Tennessee. New head coach Dennis Allen enlisted his network of scouts and friends in the industry to whittle down his list of candidates. “Dennis did as much research and explored as much as he could,” said offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, “and it just kept coming back to, ‘You gotta talk to (Burns).’” There were plenty of conventional things to like about Burns: He is charismatic and he is knowledgeable and he is a clear communicator. Five-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry described him as “very smart, very detailed.” More than one of his peers on the Saints staff referred to him as “a future star” in the profession. But Burns’ hiring, and the subsequent roster management at his position group, also represents a shift toward modernity for the Saints. The Saints not only coveted Burns’ archetypal qualities, but the fresh perspective he can bring with him from the college game. They are entrusting one of the youngest position groups on the roster to a 33-year-old rookie NFL coach. And as this was happening, New Orleans joined the wave of NFL teams to invest more heavily in the receivers this offseason. The dividing line between college- and pro-style offenses has gradually blurred in recent years, with NFL teams borrowing college concepts and adapting them to their own schemes. Receivers have been some of the main beneficiaries of this attitude shift, both in terms of production and in positional value. Three years ago, the Saints made Michael Thomas the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. Now, Thomas doesn’t even crack the top-10 in average annual salary. This offseason alone, eight receivers signed deals that hand out more per year than Thomas’ record-setting 2019 extension. The Saints were one of six teams to use a first-round pick on a receiver this season — their first time selecting a receiver in the first round since 2014 — when they traded up to select Ohio State’s Chris Olave 11th overall. They further added to the room by signing Landry to a one-year deal after the draft. “I think the value of the player is changing,” Burns said. “You’ve seen what we’ve done in our room, and I think the value of the receiver position went up a little bit and that’s because people are starting to spread the ball out a little more and be sideline-to-sideline like a lot of people are in the college game.” Saints news in your inbox If you're a Saints fan you won't want to miss this newsletter. Sign up today. The core principles of the Saints' offense have been in place for nearly two decades and likely aren’t heading for a drastic change, but with Burns on the staff the Saints see an opportunity for the offense to evolve in the post-Sean Payton era. “Even when he was on his interview, he was talking about, ‘Here’s some things that we did on third down, or in the red zone,’ and you’re like, ‘Hey, that might be something that fits us,’” Carmichael said. “I think that you value hearing what his thoughts are.” Burns said he was “shocked” when Allen reached out to speak about the open position on the Saints staff, and once the Saints offered the job he did not have to think about it too hard before accepting it. He described himself as someone who likes a challenge, and while the Southeastern Conference gave him that on a weekly basis, he acknowledged the NFL is a different beast. The quality of the athletes, both those he’s coaching and those he’s coaching against, was a huge draw. And, fittingly, he’s tasked with getting the most out of a group that has potential to be among the NFL’s best — if things go right. Thomas has not been healthy for two years, but the last time he played a full season he was the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year. Landry is coming off a down year of his own because of injury, but averaged better than 1,000 yards per year his first seven seasons. The early returns on Olave have been promising. Marquez Callaway, Tre’Quan Smith and Deonte Harty (formerly Harris) slotting in some order as the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 receivers gives the Saints enviable depth. That depth breeds competition, Burns said. Players know they are not going to find their way into the lineup if they don’t bring their best. And that’s where he comes in. Part of why he was brought in was to help bring fresh ideas, but his main mission is to coach them up. It’s early in the process, but Carmichael has been pleased by what he’s seen so far, both with the way Burns has related to his players and with how hard he’s coached them. “My job is to develop the player. I don’t care in what capacity,” Burns said. “I don’t care if you’re a Pro Bowler, I don’t care if you’re a Hall-of-Famer — all the great ones want to get better at something. … They all want to be coached. They all want to be great.” i post this here because cody was pretty much dragged through the mud and i wanted him to get his due diligence. i have even had some serious doubts. this in a way should tell us sometimes we do not know all we think we do when it comes to sports. and for those that do not remember he was trashed along with gus or maybe just because gus hired him but look what our young man is doing now. this makes me super happy!
