Decade since NC governor win, McCrory trounced in Senate bid
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A decade ago, Pat McCrory was king in North Carolina's Republican Party. The former Charlotte mayor became the first GOP governor in two decades when he won in 2012 by 11 percentage points. Today, the moderate has been tossed aside in state GOP politics, trounced by 34 percentage points in last week’s Senate primary by Rep. Ted Budd, who was a little-known congressman outside his district until former President Donald Trump endorsed him last June. The Trump shift within the Republican Party is making casualties nationally out of fiscal conservatives like McCrory, who says he supported many Trump policies but did not care for his style — a nuanced view that apparently did not help him in a state the former president won twice. Now McCrory’s long electoral career appears over at age 65. “I’ve played the game. I’ve been played by the game. I’ve won the game. But I’ve … [Read more...] about Decade since NC governor win, McCrory trounced in Senate bid

Celtics run past Heat 93-80, move a win from NBA Finals
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 17 MIAMI (AP) — The Boston Celtics know the formula. They believe their defense, as has been the case time and again in these playoffs, will eventually wear down teams. Hard to argue. Jaylen Brown scored 25 points, Jayson Tatum added 22 and the Celtics are now one win from the NBA Finals. They ran away after halftime to beat the Miami Heat 93-80 on Wednesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference title series. “I think the mental stress and strain we put on some teams with our defense has worked and carried us through the playoffs at times," Celtics coach Ime Udoka said. Al Horford had 16 points and Derrick White added 14 for the Celtics. Tatum finished with 12 rebounds and nine assists. Bam Adebayo scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Heat, who shot 32% in the game — … [Read more...] about Celtics run past Heat 93-80, move a win from NBA Finals

In Bill Engvall ’s case, he knew it was the perfect time to bid goodbye to the road. “I always said that I wanted to go out on my terms. I never wanted to be the act where someone said they should have stopped a year ago. And I say this with all humility, but I caught the brass ring.

Lauren Boebert debates primary challenger Don Coram in southwest Colorado
IGNACIO — Colorado’s West Slope firebrand, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert traded blows with her most formidable challenger, state Sen. Don Coram , Thursday morning at Ignacio’s Sky Ute Casino. The hour-long debate between the two, vying for the Republican nomination in the massive congressional district, ranged in topics from gun control, the environment, labor and immigration. But in a broader sense, the debate — Boebert’s first since entering politics — served more as a competition between the candidates’ personalities. Boebert, still serving her first term, identified herself as a through-and-through conservative, frequently name-checking President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Coram identified himself as a seasoned legislator able to work with his Democratic colleagues. Both came out of the gates swinging before a crowd of perhaps 300 people, supporters of each split down the middle of the room like a wedding. Those supporting Boebert sat to the right, … [Read more...] about Lauren Boebert debates primary challenger Don Coram in southwest Colorado
