The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Williams, who played at Liberty High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, last year, was considered one of the Orange’s top recruits. He received a four-star rating by Rivals, Scout, and 247 Sports. Prater, a 6-foot, 178-pound defensive back from East St. Louis (Illinois) High School, was a three-star athlete there but was listed by recruiting sites as an athlete because he had played very little organized football....

On Sunday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the MLB Players Association submitted its counteroffer to MLB to get a season under way. It seems pretty reasonable, current circumstances aside: a 114-game regular season stretching into October, players owning the right to opt out at any time, and playoff expansion that seems more like a bargaining chip for future labor talks. Let’s make it clear: MLB will almost absolutely reject the proposal, because that’s how negotiations go, and if Passan’s report means anything, it could open the door for more reasonable requests from the side of ownership....

“We’ve reached a tipping point,” Regan said on an installment of Trish Regan Primetime. “The chorus of hate being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo as Democrats blame him and only him for a virus that originated halfway around the world. This is yet another attempt to impeach the president.” “The hate is boiling over,” Regan added. “Many in the liberal media using, and I mean using, coronavirus in an attempt to demonize and destroy the president....

The Tonight With Lou Dobbs host criticized the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman for “not subpoenaing the left-wing heads of the censorships Twitter and Facebook until after the election.” It comes as Graham told reporters on Friday that the executives of the two largest social media platforms will testify on allegations of anti-conservative bias after the November 3 election. “I don’t know why anyone in the great state of South Carolina would ever vote for Lindsey Graham....

A regular refrain during the Trump 2016 campaign, and early on in this administration, was “we’re going to build a wall and Mexico’s going to pay for it,” a core part of his anti-immigration message. Mexico refused to pay. Trump has since shifted to falsely claiming that Mexico would pay indirectly through a new trade deal and via fees charged to asylum seekers crossing the southern border. In reality, after failing to win congressional approval for a budget that funded the wall’s construction, Trump declared a controversial national emergency over what he claims is a “border crisis,” unlocking powers that allow him to raid military budgets for the $3....

“For over two years, the presidency of the United States has been under siege,” the controversial conservative host claimed in the opening statement of her show Justice With Judge Jeanine. “Our commander-in-chief has been subjected to unprecedented maligning by the mainstream media, high-level Obama administration officials and disappointed, disgruntled and deranged Democrats,” Pirro lamented. “It’s as if the White House is an ancient walled city with barbarians storming the gate looking to annihilate the outsider beholding to no one,” the former judge and district attorney continued....

Hegseth’s remarks were in response to a tweet from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in which she said targeting Iran’s cultural sites would make President Donald Trump a “monster.” “This is a war crime,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and children - which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites - does not make you a tough guy. It does not make you ‘strategic.’ It makes you a monster....

At his closed-door deposition before members of Congress on Tuesday, Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, reportedly told House Impeachment Investigators that key words and phrases had been omitted from the White House’s transcript of President Donald Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, and that he had attempted to include them but failed. The New York Times first reported Vindman’s testimony by citing three unnamed sources familiar with the deposition....

Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, has repeatedly criticized Trump administration and Republicans in Congress in the wake of the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry that led to the president’s impeachment in December. He has repeatedly dismissed key Republican talking points and argued that there is a solid case for Trump’s removal from office. “If the Senate is faithful to the Constitution, then Trump’s trial will be a search for the truth....

“The definition of crime for 600 years included the word ‘harm,’” Napolitano told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Monday. “Nobody was harmed here.” Loughlin, one of the parents indicted in the college admission scandal, is accused of paying $500,000 to facilitate her two daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California. While parents who pleaded guilty received lenient sentences, in October, Loughlin was hit with a third indictment, which tacked on the charge of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery....

The network doesn’t want to use its No. 1 announce team of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews for all of the new Thursday Night games, sources told Sporting News. That team will continue to call Sunday afternoon games, which draw a much better schedule and more viewers. To avoid burnout, Fox would prefer its top team work only the best Thursday Night matchups. “Fox doesn’t want to waste them on [bad] games,” said a source....

Sarkozy looks more like the protagonist of a bande dessinée, a graphic novel in the style of “Tintin” than the head of a well-oiled government machine. Less than a year ago, he campaigned to be “the purchasing-power president” who would lift the French economy and get a country accustomed to 35-hour weeks back to work. He has started the ball rolling on tough reforms, including ending special retirement privileges for certain public-sector employees and making work contracts more flexible....
