While Muscat declared he won’t be too vocal in the media this week, which could be interpreted as a dig at Sydney coach Graham Arnold, Victory’s boss was typically bullish about his team’s chances in the grand final. Victory qualified for the championship decider on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Brisbane Roar in Melbourne, less than 24 hours after the Sky Blues had cruised past Perth Glory 3-0 in Sydney....

After the last eulogy was said, the last tear fell and the last camera clicked off, there remained the painful thought of what might have been. John F. Kennedy Jr. “had only just begun,” said his uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy. “There was in him a great promise of things to come.” Outside the church, where the cameras peered and the talking heads spoke in low and mournful tones, the sorrow seemed more contrived....
Images of that day still live vividly in the minds of many Americans while capturing the imagination of younger generations and spawning decades of conspiracy theories, exacerbated by the continued classification of U.S. government documents related to the killing. Some of the documents became publicly available under the 1992 John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which mandated the release of all materials 25 years later, by October 26, 2017....
In a tweet published on Tuesday after a CBS report revealed that classified documents were found by Joe Biden’s lawyers at his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. on November 2, Biggs wrote: “Biden stole classified documents and stored them at his think tank while he was VP. The VP does not have any authority to declassify classified documents.” He continued in a follow-up tweet: “The Biden family highly concerns me....
During a segment on Saturday, Acosta mocked Trump and his supporters for pushing claims that Joe Biden did not win the election and that Trump could be back in the White House as early as this summer. Acosta said of the former president and his loyalist supporters: “The insurrectionist-in-chief is back in the news this week. You remember Donald Trump and his motley crew, or is that motley coup?”...

But Florio’s fans, including many intrigued liberals watching warily from afar, wonder if he is a William Jennings Bryan who wins, a housebroken Huey Long. Is he the last old liberal or the first new one? Whatever, the 52-year-old Democrat is making New Jersey, which has voted Republican in six consecutive presidential elections, a laboratory for liberalism. Today’s arguments in Washington and Trenton are superficially similar and interestingly different. Both concern taxes, but Washington’s argument rarely rises above arithmetic....

Jim Harbaugh’s University of Michigan tenure hasn’t exactly gone as planned: After an unceremonius end to his 49ers career, Harbaugh made a return to the college ranks, and his sixth season is proving to be his worst with Michigan. There are some conflicting reports regarding Harbaugh’s future in Michigan: At 2-4 and sinking, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio says that Harbaugh’s tenure in Ann Arbor could soon come to an end....
Harbaugh had previously guided Stanford to its best seasons in program history in 2010 before leaving for the NFL to join the 49ers. There, he coached the team to three conference championships in his first three years, including a run to the Super Bowl in 2012, where he lost to his brother, John Harbaugh, and the Ravens. Michigan found immediate success under Harbaugh, going 10-3 in three of its first four seasons with him at the helm, but it hasn’t been until 2021 that he could get the Wolverines over the hump: beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten....
Abbott, a Republican, called on the Biden administration to shut down a detention center in San Antonio on Wednesday, while announcing that an investigation into “very credible” allegations of child sex abuse and neglect at the facility had begun. Jordan, a close Trump ally, claimed that the “crisis” on the border could have been prevented if Trump’s policies had remained intact during an appearance the same night on Fox News’ Hannity....
Jordan, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has received substantial backlash from Democrats, and some Republicans, over his support for Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The Ohio Republican spoke with the former president on the phone multiple times on January 6, 2021—when pro-Trump rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol. Although Jordan previously suggested that he only spoke to Trump after the riot began, phone records first reported by CNN in early February showed that the congressman talked to Trump for about 10 minutes on the morning of January 6 before the assault against the federal legislative building....

Responding to an announcement made by the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) COVID Taskforce about updating safety protocols to align with new guidance from the Centers of Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), Graham said he was “confused” why the league’s coronavirus rules were changing after originally penalizing those who refuse to get vaccinated. “I’ve done everything I’ve been asked and now Feel like I’m being punished,” Graham tweeted. “If I miss a test that your proposing everyday I’ll be fined a max 150k!...
Commenting on a “sullen” and “vengeful” president in the dying days of his term, the late-night host turned his attention to the former New York City mayor, gleefully telling his audience that Trump is “even lashing out at his No. 1 dirty deeds-doer Rudy Giuliani.” “Working for Trump and expecting to get paid is like having dinner with Chris Christie and expecting a doggie bag,” Kimmel joked. The comedian was referring to a report by the Washington Post that claims Trump instructed his staff not to pay Giuliani—whose rate is reportedly $20,000 per day—because he failed to overturn the election results....

In his account, Harry says that William described Meghan as “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”—something the duke of Sussex describes as a “parrot[ing of] the press narrative” about his wife....
