This time, it was a 33-foot 3-pointer from the left wing that might cut a little deeper for the Cavs fans who were silenced at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday. Deeper spot, same shot, same result. It gave Golden State a 110-102 victory that creates the same 3-0 hole for the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, but Durant insists that this is a different game, different season and different vibe....

The California Republican asserted that any commission would just “get in the way” of current Department of Justice investigations. When asked by Fox News presenter Laura Ingraham on Tuesday if the congressman was covering up for insurrectionists by opposing the proposed commission, McCarthy gave an emphatic response. “Not at all.

I smell the stench of an overreaching government.” Former comedian and YouTube personality Dave Rubin said he was grateful that California hadn’t taken the steps Pennsylvania did. “I know California is crazy and I don’t want to give Commander Newsom any ideas, but at least we don’t have an IN YOUR HOME mask mandate,” he wrote, adding, “Wake up people....
