just now (1088+ words) Don't be surprised if Jim Phillips has bags under his eyes this week because the ACC commissioner is dealing with a nightmare scenario. Against all odds, despite being 7-5 on the season, and losing a second ACC game against Virginia two weeks ago that should've eliminated them from the race, the Duke Blue Devils are playing for the ACC title next week. But that was with the understanding Duke would be 9-4. That second loss to Virginia the following week was supposed to be the end of the scenario. Now we're here and James Madison is very much alive and is a serious threat to put the ACC in one of the most embarrassing situations it could ever imagine. When the current format was put together with the idea of giving automatic bids to the five highest-ranked conference champions, it was generally…...

Tim Kaine, D-Va., speaks with reporters about President Donald Trump's foreign policy intentions, with Venezuela in particular, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025. Credit: AP/J. Scott Applewhite WASHINGTON " Lawmakers from both parties said Sunday they support congressional reviews of U.S. military strikes against vessels suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean, citing a published report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order for all crew members to be killed as part of a Sept. 2 attack.

just now (848+ words) The 57-year-old former two-term president was sentenced last year to 45 years in U.S. prison for helping drug traffickers to safely move hundreds of tons of cocaine north through his country to the U.S. At the start of his trial in February 2024, a U.S. prosecutor said Hern'ndez had even boasted at a meeting with drug dealers that "together they were going to shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos." But Trump criticized Hern'ndez's prosecution, a wide-ranging case that also enveloped his brother during Trump's first term, saying Friday that people he respects told him Hern'ndez was "treated very harshly and unfairly." On Sunday, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va., ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere and a Hern'ndez critic while he was still president, called Trump's decision to pardon Hern'ndez "shocking." "He was the leader of one…...
