Trump seizes on drone controversy to mock Chris Christie

0

President-elect Trump on Saturday seized on the mysterious drone controversy in New Jersey to mock one-time ally turned nemesis Chris Christie. 

The president-elect, who will take office in just over a month, shared an artificially generated meme of the former New Jersey governor eating McDonald’s with more McDonald’s meals being delivered by drones, mocking his weight on Truth Social and X. 

Christie endorsed Trump in 2016 but was later axed as the head of his transition team. 

Last year, Christie had a short-lived presidential campaign for the 2024 election during which he called Trump a “coward” and a “puppet of Putin,” but he dropped out in January.

“I want to promise you this, I’m going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again. And that’s more important than my own personal ambition,” he said when he dropped out. 

Christie’s weight has been a frequent target for Trump since their falling-out. Last year, Trump jokingly told a supporter to not call the former governor a “fat pig.” 

Since mid-November, New Jersey residents have been baffled by unexplained sightings of what appear to be drones.

The sightings have also been reported in other areas of the country, including military installations, prompting lawmakers to demand answers. 

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement have said the drones don’t appear to be a threat to public safety. 

On Friday, Trump called for the drones to be shot down if there’s no reasonable explanation for them.

“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!”

NEW YORK — ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll.

According to settlement documents made public Saturday, ABC will also post a note on its website expressing regret over the claim in a March 10 segment on Stephanopoulos’ This Week program and pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump’s lawyer.

In a statement, ABC News said: “We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing.”

Trump sued Stephanopoulos and ABC for defamation days after the anchor claimed during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., that Trump had been “found liable for rape,” which misstated the verdicts in Carroll’s two lawsuits against him.

Last year, Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming Carroll and was ordered to pay her $5 million. In January, he was found liable on additional defamation claims and ordered to pay Carroll $83.3 million. Trump is appealing both verdicts.

Neither verdict involved a finding of rape as defined under New York law.

The judge in both cases, Lewis Kaplan, has said that the jury’s conclusion was that Carroll had failed to prove that Trump raped her “within the narrow, technical meaning of a particular section of the New York Penal Law.”

Kaplan noted that the definition of rape was “far narrower” than how rape is defined in common modern parlance, in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes and elsewhere.

The judge said the verdict did not mean that Carroll “failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’ Indeed … the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

Bill Belichick showed interest in unlikely coaching gig before taking UNC job: reports

0

Nearly 25 years after infamously resigning as head coach of the New York Jets, Bill Belichick apparently considered that job again.

In 2000, Belichick was about to take over as the next head coach of the New York Jets. But during his introductory press conference, he resigned and wrote it on a napkin.

Belichick cited questions he had about ownership for his decision. He then went to the New England Patriots and made Jets fans’ lives a living hell for the next two-plus decades.

Now, Belichick is the head coach of UNC, but it reportedly didn’t happen without him first showing interest in … the Jets.

A couple weeks before going to Chapel Hill, The Athletic says, Belichick’s “inner circle” had informal talks with some NFL teams, including the Jets. However, there were no formal discussions, and the UNC opportunity came about.

The Jets fired Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start, and they’re 1-7 since then.

There had been online speculation Belichick could have returned to the New York Giants, where he won two Super Bowls as a defensive coordinator. He coached Lawrence Taylor, a Tar Heels star before becoming the second pick in the 1981 NFL Draft.

It’s widely speculated Belichick was worried about Woody Johnson owning the team, which he still does. Johnson took a hiatus from the team after serving as Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Kingdom during Trump’s first presidency. Belichick did serve as the team’s defensive coordinator for three seasons under Bill Parcells, who was also the general manager.

Belichick shut down any notion he would head to the NFL after potential success at UNC, saying he “didn’t come here to leave.”

College football referee interrupts penalty call to salute military veterans during Celebration Bowl

0

Jackson State’s Travis Terrell Jr. just returned a punt return 81 yards for a touchdown to give Jackson State a 7-0 lead over South Carolina State in the first quarter of the Celebration Bowl on Saturday.

The only problem for Jackson State was that there was a flag on the play. 

Then, when making the call, referee Rory Bernard did something unusual.

“I’d like to salute our military veterans,” Bernard said before saluting.

Bernard’s salute drew applause from the crowd. After paying homage to the military veterans, Bernard announced the flag. 

“Personal foul, unnecessary roughness, return team, number 11, the fifteen-yard penalty will be enforced from the spot of the foul, first down,” said Bernard.

Unfortunately for Jackson State and Terrell Jr., the touchdown was wiped off the board.

The Celebration Bowl is an annual matchup of the champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Jackson State is playing in its third Celebration Bowl in four years but has yet to win one as Deion Sanders was unable to win it for the school before departing for Colorado.

Jackson State came into the game with an 11-2 record, with South Carolina State at 9-2. Their meeting in this year’s Celebration Bowl is the seventh all-time meeting between the schools, with the teams 3-3 against each other. 

Bernard’s show of patriotism is likely to be the first of many on Saturday, as Army and Navy are set to face off for the 125th time at 3:00 p.m. ET.

President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will both be in attendance for the Army-Navy game in Northwest Stadium, Landover, Maryland, on Saturday afternoon.

Christmas gift of new bionic arms helps children live fuller, happier lives

0

Three children are feeling pure joy this December about “the best Christmas present in the world.”

Ettie Baker, age 8, Zoey Hampton-Pigeon, age 8, and Finn Jarvis, age 11, were all given “life-changing” bionic arms this week courtesy of The Big Hero 3 campaign.

Launched by a mom named Sarah Lockey whose own daughter faced physical challenges, the campaign helps families of children with missing limbs fundraise for bionic arms, news agency SWNS reported.

FIREFIGHTER DRESSES AS SANTA TO BRING JOY TO SICK KIDS: ‘SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN’ 

Ettie Baker’s mother, Alyse, said her daughter “screamed” when she found out about her new arm for Christmas this year.

“Ettie has always shown so much love for her difference and loves celebrating differences,” said mom Alyse Baker about her daughter.

But as the child gets older, “she is becoming increasingly aware of just how different she is,” said the mom. 

“She’s becoming more conscious of the stares when [she’s] out [among people] and is sometimes frustrated that she can’t do things the same [way] as everyone else, so having the opportunity to receive a Hero Arm is life-changing for Ettie in so many ways.”

The Hero Arm is for people living with a below-elbow limb difference. 

The mom said her daughter is thrilled she’ll be able to ride a bike, tie her shoes, even do handstands. 

“As parents, we are excited about these things, too, but also all the other ways the Hero Arm will change Ettie’s life.”

Added the mom, “We are absolutely over the moon to be working together” with other families and their children. 

The Open Bionics Foundation — which provides financial support to people who need multi-grip upper limb prosthetics — as well as The Worshipful Company of The Glovers, Foresight Group and an anonymous donor have all contributed over $50,000 toward the children’s new bionic arms, SWNS reported.

It’s considered “the world’s most affordable advanced multi-grip prosthetic arm.”

The Hero Arm is for people living with a below-elbow limb difference, the Open Bionics Foundation indicates on its website.

The device is considered “the world’s most affordable advanced multi-grip prosthetic arm, with multi-grip functionality and empowering esthetics,” the foundation also notes. 

“Engineered and manufactured in Britain, the Hero Arm is a custom lightweight and affordable myoelectric prosthesis, now available in over 801 locations across the U.S. for below-elbow amputee adults and children aged 8 and above.”

A big chunk of the money raised so far came about because the three families worked together on it.

Thomas, the father of Zoey Hampton-Pigeon, age 8, said his daughter was so excited when she heard the news about her new arm that she was “jumping up and down squealing.” 

He described the opportunity for her as “amazing.”

The family found out their daughter would be born with a limb difference at her 20-week scan.

Said the dad, “It was a very scary and emotional time not knowing what to expect … When Zoey was born, she saw several specialists, but there are no answers about why this happened … It’s just one of those things.”

“I want to support others who are going through the same thing.”

He described his daughter today as a “very happy, caring, confident and adventurous little girl.” 

She is “always on the go,” he said. She’s a member of a gymnastics club, takes swimming lessons and loves trampolining, he noted. 

With her new arm, she’s looking forward to being able to use a jump rope, her dad said.

He also said that she “does struggle with everyday tasks such as tying her laces, using a knife and fork,” and more — and that the new bionic arm “will make such a massive difference to her independence.”

Mom Sarah Lockey was originally inspired to set up the campaign, now in its fourth run, after her daughter lost her hand to meningitis at just 15 months old.

“It turned my world around,” she told SWNS, “and I promised one day I would get Tilly her hand back. She now wears two hero arms daily – so I want to support others who are going through the same thing.”

Lockey said the campaign helps remove some of the stress of crowdfunding for families.

“It is just incredible for three children to benefit and for their families all to meet and fundraise together,” she said.

With this opportunity, “the possibilities for him to excel are endless,” said the dad of young Finn Jarvis, age 11, shown above.  (SWNS)

Finn Jarvis, the third child who is receiving a bionic arm, has been described by his loved ones as “the boss of the family.”

He was born without one hand, the result apparently of a car accident his mother was involved in before his birth. 

Dad Ben Jarvis said, “Finn is a happy-go-lucky boy. He is kind, fearless and extremely switched on. He is now 11 … With this opportunity of a Big Hero Arm, the possibilities for him to excel are endless,” as SWNS reported.

Lockey also said the campaign “is her ‘favorite thing’ to do — and it has been a delight for the children to meet and receive such a life-changing opportunity.”

DNC fundraiser says Democrats have ‘stench of loser’ hanging over party following defeat to Trump

0

DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said the Democratic Party has been weakened by President-elect Donald Trump’s victory to the point it has the stench of “loser” on it.

“I think, unfortunately, the Democratic Party has the stench of loser written all over the party,” Li, a prominent fundraiser for the party, said on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

Big Tech leaders like Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have all either met with Trump or directly, in the case of Altman, made donations to Trump’s inaugural committee after his election victory. 

HARRIS CAMPAIGN STILL ASKING FOR DONATIONS WEEKS AFTER MASSIVE LOSS TO TRUMP

Amazon is planning to make a $1 million donation to Trump’s inaugural fund. Altman also donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, with Zuckerberg announcing similar plans to strengthen his ties with the president-elect.

“I’m speaking as a Democrat myself, this brings me no joy to say it. I feel like the Democrats are going to be consigned to the wilderness for at least the next four to eight years and Jeff Bezos is probably thanking his lucky stars that he withheld that endorsement,” Li said. “They’re doing everything they can now to continue the détente.” 

Bezos ended presidential endorsements by the Washington Post, which he bought in 2013, shortly before Election Day this year. The decision angered some liberal staffers and reporters who were eager to throw the paper’s official position behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

When asked about the reaction of the tech industry as a whole to Trump’s victory, Li said that they are excited about his incoming administration.

“I think the tech world is loving the fact that Donald Trump is going to be the next president,” Li said. “He’s really embraced crypto. He’s saying that he wants the United States to be the crypto capital of the world.” 

Li also spoke on the rising unpopularity of key Democratic Party policies, including addressing illegal immigration, saying that voters are “fed up” with Democrats.

“I’m speaking as an immigrant,” Li said. “For immigrants like me, who became naturalized Americans, proud and grateful Americans, it’s extremely upsetting that people are just flooding into the country willy-nilly.” 

Zuckerberg visited Trump in early December at Mar-a-Lago to strengthen his ties with the president-elect as he prepares to enter office in January.

The football community has rallied around NFL legend Randy Moss after the former wide receiver announced he had been diagnosed with cancer, during an Instagram livestream Friday.

Moss said he had spent six days in the hospital undergoing surgery. The former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots wide receiver said the doctors had found cancer in his bile duct, “right between the pancreas and the liver.”

“I am a cancer survivor,” Moss said. “Some trying times, but we made it through.”

“Love you Randy. Dominating opponents is what you have always done and you will sure do it again! You got this!” Rob Gronkowski posted.

Moss stepped away from his role as an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” on Dec. 6.

“As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set. . . . Hopefully, I can be with you guys soon,” Moss said.
