Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:29:19 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A prominent group that represents LGBT conservatives says a video shared by Ron DeSantis′ presidential campaign that slams rival Donald Trump for his past support of gay and transgender people “ventured into homophobic territory.”The “DeSantis War Room” Twitter account shared the video on Friday — the last day of June’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month — that features footage of Trump at the Republican National Convention in 2016 saying he would “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens.” Trump had been pledging protection from terrorist attacks weeks after the shootings at the Pulse Nightclub, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history at that time.The video also highlights “LGBTQ for Trump” T-shirts sold by the former president’s campaign and his past comments saying he would be comfortable with Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, usi...

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:29:19 GMT

The Chicago White Sox had a two-run lead with two outs in the eighth inning against the team with the worst record in baseball.They left the eighth tied after the Oakland Athletics scored twice in unconventional fashion.One run came in when Joe Kelly was called for a balk.

Knicks, Donte DiVincenzo agree to four-year, $50 million deal, reunite him with Villanova teammates: source

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:29:19 GMT

The Knicks hit their redheaded target.Donte DiVincenzo, the 26-year-old scrappy guard out of Villanova, agreed Saturday to a four-year, $50 million contract to join the Knicks, a source confirmed to The Daily News.The move, which can’t become official until the free agency moratorium ends next week, solidifies New York’s guard rotation and will use up all of its mid-level exception. Barring a blockbuster trade — which is always possible given the Knicks’ glut of future draft picks — Leon Rose’s summer was again quiet.DiVincenzo, nicknamed ‘The Big Ragu’ because he’s Italian with red hair, is a decent 3-point shooter (40% last season with the Warriors) and a strong defender. His greatest attribute is probably winning.The Delaware native captured two high school State championships, two NCAA titles with Villanova — both alongside Jalen Brunson — and an NBA championship in 2021 with the Bucks (although he was injured for...

David Cone Q&A: Former pitcher discusses his experience playing for Buck Showalter, Mets’ pitching problems

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:29:19 GMT

If the Mets didn’t have the attention of baseball before this week, they sure do now.It’s been an eventful week in Queens with Steve Cohen publicly backing his manager, Buck Showalter, and general manager, Billy Eppler. But all is still not well in Flushing.Ugly losses still have people questioning whether Showalter and Eppler will make it through the season. The Mets blew their 13th lead in a month Friday night against the San Francisco Giants. They had better luck once the calendar flipped to July with a win over the Giants on Saturday, but it’s going to take a lot more than one win to stop the free-fall. It’s been two weeks since the Mets even won back-to-back games.This weekend, the entire country will get a glimpse of the most baffling team in baseball when the Mets face the Giants on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. With former Mets and Yankees right-hander David Cone in the booth, along with Karl Ravech, Eduardo Perez and Buster Olney, the Daily News talked...

Luis Severino shelled by Cardinals as Yankees drop first game of doubleheader

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:29:19 GMT

The Yankees Jekyll and Hyde of a season continued in the first game of a doubleheader against the Cardinals on Saturday.The Bombers’ ugly and sloppy 11-4 loss featured poor performance on the field and an even worse one on the mound. After appearing to turn a corner with his strong outing against the Rangers on June 24 — six shutout innings — Luis Severino was destroyed at Bush Stadium as the last-place Cardinals.The right-hander lasted just four innings allowing seven earned runs on nine hits and three walks registering just two strikeouts. Paul Goldschmidt’s three-run homer in the bottom of the third got the party started for the Red Birds as Severino seemed to be unable to find his groove after surrendering the long ball. Nolan Gorman also blasted a 415-foot two-run homer in the fourth.The 29-year-old’s ERA ballooned to 6.30 during the final season on his contract as he’s set to hit free agency this winter.The Bombers’ registered two erro...
