Fox News: DeSantis hints at presidential run, predicts which Supreme Court justices could be gone in next decade
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hinted at his presidential ambitions, calling for a more secure 7-2 conservative majority on the Supreme Court over the next two presidential terms. He argued that replacing Justices Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito with liberal judges could move the court to the left. DeSantis called for a Republican president to have the opportunity to fortify conservative justices such as Alito and Thomas, as well as replace Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
During a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, DeSantis expressed his aspirations to enter the Republican presidential primary. He may join a growing roster of candidates including former President Trump, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and possibly former Vice President Mike Pence. DeSantis' comments came the same day as more than 100 former Trump administration officials formed a coalition backing him. They labelled themselves "The Eight-Year Alliance," stating that DeSantis is "a proven winner" and can serve for two terms unlike Trump.

He also called out the NAACP for not issuing a travel advisory for places like Chicago or Baltimore where many murders take place.

The Associated Press' lead justice department reporter, Mike Balsamo, gave a detailed firsthand account of the onslaught the officers have faced.

Spectator USA: Netflix’s Queen Cleopatra girlbosses against historical fact
Netflix's new drama-documentary Queen Cleopatra cast a black actress, Adele James, in the title role, which was controversial, as Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek. The show, however, argued that Cleopatra was black, with the help of African-American professor Shelley P. Haley, who shared a statement made by her grandmother, saying "Cleopatra was black." The show presented Cleopatra as a powerful feminist who excelled in sword fighting, was a scholar, poring over military maps, giving Julius Caesar architectural tips, and winning political debates against Cicero. However, the show's lack of objectivity made it difficult to trust any of the actual history presented.

Forbes: Mitch Keller Just Might Be The Pirates’ Long-Sought Homegrown Ace
It's been a long drought for the Pittsburgh Pirates, lacking homegrown pitching talent for the past 35 years. Mitch Keller struggled in the beginning, but has since added a high quality cutter to his mix while maintaining a strong four-seam fastball, earning him an "A+" grade. He's managed to control his contact well and looks like a potential Cy Young and Contact Manager of the Year contender.
Forbes: Major League Baseball Trade Candidate: San Diego Padres’ Blake Snell
The San Diego Padres have an estimated payroll of $249 million, putting them over the first of four MLB luxury tax thresholds, but they are behind in the standings. Star third baseman Manny Machado is on the Injured List, and pitcher Seth Lugo joined him with a strained calf, leaving the Padres with several marginal players on the last year of their contract. As a result, left-handed starter Blake Snell, currently paid $16.6 million, may be made available in trade. The New York Mets, the New York Yankees, and the Minnesota Twins are all potential trade partners for Snell.
Blake Snell, a former All Star and winner of the American League Cy Young Award in 2018, may be a good addition for teams looking for experienced left-handed starters. His fastball sits at an impressive 95 miles per hour, and he uses it to set up his other pitches. His lackluster performance this year may not deter several clubs from trading for him. The New York Mets may be an ideal trade partner since they need to bolster their rotation, and they have depth at the catcher position that the Padres can use. The New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins are also attractive trade partners for the Padres.
