Phoenix Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts lit up his media session Saturday, taking dead aim at the endless noise surrounding the WNBA.But instead of addressing why players like Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark keep taking hits from activists and mainstream outlets, Tibbetts rushed to the defense of Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White. “It really pisses me off. It’s disappointing,” Tibbetts said regarding the narrative around the league.”This is a great league. We’ve got great players. There’s great stories, great rookies, great teams. We just spend so much time talking about the wrong stuff. I don’t know why that happens in our league. It’s disappointing. I don’t know who can help change the narrative. Is it the coaches? Is it the players? Is it the media? There’s outside sources that are trying to create division, and at times it’s not a lot of fun.”TEXAS LAWMAKER SAYS WNBA RESPONSE ON CAITLIN CLARK ‘FALLS SHORT,’ KEEPS ‘EVERY OPTION ON THE TABLE’Tibbetts singled out the backlash directed at White after her limp reaction to a hard foul on Cunningham.”We make it about basketball, but some of the things that Steph has to go through, that’s wrong,” Tibbetts added.”There’s no other coach in any…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to scale back upcoming U.S.-South Korea military exercises on Sunday, arguing that the operations cost too much and send a hostile message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.At the same time, the president went on to criticize Seoul for declining to join U.S. war efforts to denuclearize Iran.Writing on Truth Social, Trump noted that while it was too late to cancel the drills entirely, he was dissatisfied with the longstanding military arrangement between Washington and Seoul.”Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea,” Trump wrote.NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES ANOTHER BALLISTIC MISSILE AS US, SOUTH KOREA PREPARE FOR MILITARY DRILLS “These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful.”In the same post, Trump linked his frustration over the…

Imagine the grid going down for weeks or even months. No cell service, no internet, no quick lookup when you need to know how to treat a serious wound, preserve food without power, or fix a broken tool. In a long-term disaster, knowledge is just as valuable as anything in your survival kit. Wikipedia is one of the largest collections of practical information ever assembled. It covers medicine and first aid, water treatment, gardening, food preservation, mechanics, chemistry, history, and nearly every other subject you can think of. The problem is that it normally lives online. If the internet goes down, so does your access to all it, unless you keep a copy stored locally. Here’s the good part. You can carry the entire English version of Wikipedia, photos and all, on a device that fits in the palm of your hand and runs off a small battery or even a solar charger. All it takes is a tiny computer called a Raspberry Pi, a memory card, and about an hour of setup. When power and the Internet are gone, you still have a searchable library of human knowledge sitting right in front of you. We came across this project…

Angel Reese was critical of how she started her Atlanta Dream contest against the Indiana Fever on Sunday night, and let everyone know about it at halftime.The Dream ended the first two quarters with a four-point lead, but Reese was 0-of-6 from the field to start the game and missed several shots from inside the paint.But she was pivotal in the Dream putting together a 17-4 run to close out the first half. During a halftime interview with ESPN’s Holly Rowe, Reese was quite candid discussing the start she had.”I was playing like s— in the beginning, but it’s a game of runs,” she said. “You’ve got to put that in your back pocket just because you know you have teammates that have your back. [Allisha Gray], Madina [Okot], [Rhyne Howard] – they’re carrying us right now.”FEVER AT DREAM BEST BET: WHY ATLANTA CAN COVER THE SPREAD EVEN IF CAITLIN CLARK PLAYSGray was the Dream’s leading scorer against Caitlin Clark and the Fever, and she continued that play with 21 points as of the third quarter. Okot also dropped six points off the bench with six rebounds, one steal and one block as well.”Just playing together, playing collectively and let…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran admitted on Friday that his longtime network was liberal and struggled to understand President Donald Trump’s supporters because its newsroom lacked political viewpoint diversity.Co-host of “The Fifth Column” podcast Michael C. Moynihan asked Moran directly, “Is ABC News a liberal institution?””Yes. But I think, I think like a lot of mainstream media, it’s because of lack of viewpoint diversity,” Moran said. “That was one of the problems in covering Trump. Nobody had voted for him.” ABC NEWS FACES BACKLASH FOR PRESENTING OBAMA CAMPAIGN AD AS AN ‘EXCLUSIVE’ ON REDISTRICTING MEASUREMoran said he attempted to challenge the prevailing newsroom perspective by circulating internal messages about the network’s Trump coverage.”I sent out these ‘Hey, we should be fair to Trump’ internal emails,” Moran said. “I heard from people — engineers, maybe the occasional producer — who said ‘Thank you.’”An ABC News staffer told Fox News Digital after Moran’s departure that the veteran correspondent had clashed internally with liberal colleagues, but that his social media post left the network with no other option.”It’s just sad honestly,” the staffer said. “It’s sad for him, a long-time colleague, friend, a good…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Berkeley mathematics professor is sounding the alarm that many students are woefully unprepared when they arrive at college because the University of California system’s progressive “test-blind” policies have proven disastrous.”Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students. By the second week of the semester, I already know who is in trouble,” professor Zvezdelina Stankova wrote in a San Francisco Standard op-ed published Saturday. “Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school,” he said.Stankova and thousands of faculty members across the 10 UC campuses have signed open letters urging the university system to reinstate the SAT and ACT in admissions. Former UC president Janet Napolitano, who also served in the Obama administration, led the way in 2020 to phase out the standardized testing, in part out of “equity” concerns.”Since then, admissions officers have been forbidden from considering the one standardized measure that provided a common academic benchmark across California’s thousands of high schools,” Stankova wrote.
