Comment on Capitol Alert: Outgoing CA GOP chair: Gay marriage is 'difficult issue' for GOP

Muncie Daniels is just trying to make his voice heard over the cacophony that passes for public discourse. An ambitious CNN commentator, the protagonist of the action-packed Netflix conspiracy thriller The Madness has been neglecting his disordered personal life and losing sight of his progressive values. But all that bland, commercially palatable careerism can’t prevent Muncie, played by the versatile Emmy winner Colman Domingo, from getting dragged into a war between the far right and the radical left, edgelord billionaires and misfits living communally at society’s fringes.

Valeri Nichushkin’s game isn’t all the way back, but he’s certainly making a big impact. Nichushkin scored the lone goal in the fifth round of a shootout Wednesday night to give the Colorado Avalanche a hard-earned 2-1 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights at Ball Arena. The 29-year-old power forward also had the team’s only goal in regulation.

President-elect Donald Trump declared a win on stopping illegal immigration through Mexico on Wednesday after talking with that country’s leader. But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Mexico was already doing its part and had no interest in closing its borders. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The two spoke just days after Trump threatened to impose sweeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. Trump said Sheinbaum “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico.” Sheinbaum indicated separately on social media that she told Trump that Mexico is already “taking care of” migrant caravans, calling it an “excellent conversation.” “We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples,” Sheinbaum added.

SALT LAKE CITY — If the Nuggets need to be coming off a loss or playing from behind to bring their best effort, that’s a larger problem that’ll need to be addressed this season before it’s too late. But for now in a tight Western Conference, they’ll take what they can get, however they can get it.

SALT LAKE CITY — The “Middle Eight” may be known best as a principle of game management tracked by football coaches, but Michael Malone and the Nuggets are encountering their own version of it in basketball. There’s an essential difference, though. For the Nuggets, the minutes that seem to matter most are not the last four of the first half combined with the first four of the second half. Look earlier in the game instead, and there will lie the answer to Denver’s baffling habit of playing from behind. “We were talking about that the other day, about how I think there’s only one time in the first 16 games this season that we’ve won the last four minutes of the first quarter and the first four minutes of the second quarter,” Malone said Wednesday night before taking on Utah.

Jameis Winston’s passionate speeches and radiant smile have made him a media darling since taking over as the Browns’ starting quarterback.
