And he might be preparing to face first-year Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph on Sunday.These guys, though, go way back. They’ve been friends for 20-plus years. They’ve been coaching against each other for more than a decade.They’re tight. And, more to the point, they know the score.Bieniemy is well aware it’s been a while since a Joseph team left the field victorious against one of his.“I know we’ve had the best of him for a few years now, so I know he’s licking his chops,” Bieniemy told reporters in Washington.Indeed, a Joseph team hasn’t beaten a Bieniemy team since 2015, when Joseph was the defensive backs coach for Cincinnati in a 36-21 win over the Chiefs. Bieniemy at the time served as Andy Reid’s running backs coach.The former Colorado teammates faced each other last year with different teams — Jose...

Jones spends thousands as Sandy Hook families remain unpaid

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:31:45 GMT

By Dave Collins | Associated PressHARTFORD, Conn. — As Alex Jones continues telling his Infowars audience about his money problems and pleads for them to buy his products, his own documents show life is not all that bad — his net worth is around $14 million and his personal spending topped $93,000 in July alone, including thousands of dollars on meals and entertainment.The conspiracy theorist and his lawyers file monthly financial reports in his personal bankruptcy case, and the latest one has struck a nerve with the families of victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. They’re still seeking the $1.5 billion they won last year in lawsuits against Jones and his media company for repeatedly calling the 2012 massacre a hoax on his shows.“It is disturbing that Alex Jones continues to spend money on excessive household expenditures and his extravagant lifestyle when that money rightfully belongs to the families he spent years tormenting,” said Christopher Mattei...

DeSantis rips Trump over Fauci commendation remarks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:31:45 GMT

By Kit Maher | CNNFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized Donald Trump for claiming he doesn’t know who gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation that the former president awarded him.“It literally says President Trump awards commendation. Is this the immaculate commendation or something like that? Did this just happen out of thin air?” DeSantis said in a radio interview with Jimmy Failla on “FOX Across America.”It was DeSantis’ latest attack on Trump over Covid-19 management – a key issue to the Florida governor’s own presidential pitch. The governor has argued that Trump, as president, ceded control to Fauci, the long-time top federal infectious disease expert.On January 19, 2021, Trump awarded Fauci and 51 other people who served on the Operation Warp Speed task force during the Covid-19 pandemic presidential commendations.“Give me a break, people need to take responsibility for their actions. They need to they need to own what they did. And here’s the thing that’s importan...

Read more Letters to the Editor.Ukraine comparisonis way off baseRe: “Ukraine seems like another phony domino” (Page A6, Sept. 13).It is hard to imagine a more historically and politically ignorant comparison than that of Ukraine with the “phony” domino theory espoused concerning Vietnam. The accurate comparison is to that of Adolf Hitler who launched a campaign to dominate Europe.Hitler lied to cover his intent. Vladimir Putin, a brutal murder boss, has not even bothered to lie. Putin explicitly said he desires to rebuild the Soviet Union and demonstrated his resolve by invading Georgia in 2008 and now Ukraine twice, including with Russian “volunteers” in 2014. Like the Soviets, Putin would not even be happy within the former Soviet borders, as he has demonstrated in Syria and Africa.World War II was the result, with over 30 million deaths in Europe, because Hitler was not stopped. Putin must be.Another note: Donald Trump has never cr...
