Exclusive: After 2020 Gains, Kevin McCarthy Eyes House GOP Majority, Speaker’s Gavel in Midterms
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has a fresh spring in his step after the Republicans defied the odds and professional political prognosticators by picking up 15 seats in the 2020 congressional elections. McCarthy, who has his eyes on the majority in November 2022, approached the 2020 congressional elections differently than Republicans in recent history have traditionally targeted congressional electoral efforts, and his moves paid off—and not only infuriated but befuddled the beltway pundit class. For the first time since 1994, in 2020 no GOP incumbent running for reelection lost. Meanwhile, McCarthy blew away fundraising records previously set by former House Speaker Paul Ryan—astonishing since he did it from the minority. Usually, House political leaders do better raising money from the majority. That’s not to mention the most significant development which is a freshman class entering Congress in 2021 that represents perhaps the most diverse in party history with the most … [Read more...] about Exclusive: After 2020 Gains, Kevin McCarthy Eyes House GOP Majority, Speaker’s Gavel in Midterms
Schefter: Tom Brady Might Have Joined Saints If Drew Brees Had Retired
By Michael Hurley , CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — Here’s a fun one. (Well, it’s still not fun if you’re from New England, but it’s fun for the rest of football fans.) READ MORE: Life Threatening Injuries After Several People Hit On High Street In Boston While we know now that Tom Brady left the Patriots last year and surprised everybody by joining up with Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped a little nugget this week that indicates Brady could have ended up with the New Orleans Saints. That possibility obviously closed when Drew Brees decided to return for his age 41 season. “Lo and behold, [Brees] came back in March. And by the way, if he hadn’t come back, I really believe that there’s a chance that Tom Brady would’ve been the Saints’ quarterback this year, and he would’ve been playing in New Orleans, not Tampa,” Schefter said on The Rich Eisen Show. “But that’s a different story.” Schefter was talking about Brees and the … [Read more...] about Schefter: Tom Brady Might Have Joined Saints If Drew Brees Had Retired

Paulie Hynek (credit: CBS) “Probably a subconscious state of just knowing you got a second chance. If things are good or bad you’re going to keep going. Things got pretty bad that day, you know what I mean? And I kept going. I figure that’s where that comes from,” Paulie Hynek told us now at 22 years old. On a dairy farm in a town of barely 700 people, moving forward is a matter of survival. “That’s how family farms work,” Paulie Hynek said.

Trump Awards Highest US Civilian Honor to Tiger Woods
WASHINGTON - When Tiger Woods won the Masters on April 14, President Donald Trump declared he was going to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and ordered his aides to schedule the event as soon as possible. On Monday, Trump got what he asked for. At a ceremony in the sun-splashed White House Rose Garden, Trump made the 43-year-old Woods the fourth, and youngest, professional golfer to receive the nation's highest civilian honor, after Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Charlie Sifford. With 81 PGA Tour victories, Woods is one shy of Sam Snead's all-time record, and with 15 major tournament victories, he trails only Nicklaus, who has 18. But it was his dramatic Masters victory at Augusta National Golf Club last month, ending an 11-year major championship drought, that capped a years-long comeback from injuries and drama in his personal life, including an arrest two years ago for driving under the influence. Trump eagerly leapt onto the Tiger bandwagon. The two have … [Read more...] about Trump Awards Highest US Civilian Honor to Tiger Woods
