Certain CNN panellists seemed to think Scott Jennings was moonlighting as a comedian as he delved into President-elect Donald Trump ’s cabinet picks. Trump announced a new slate of nominees this week, adding allies from his former administration and Fox News contributors to his inner circle. When Jennings, however, suggested that Trump had chosen aides from a vast range of the political spectrum, he was met with poorly-suppressed laughter. ADVERTISEMENT “I think Trump is not getting enough credit here for building an ideologically diverse cabinet,” Jennings said on State of the Union on Sunday. The political strategist added: “I mean, you’ve got everybody from Russ Vought, who‘s very conservative, all the way over to the pick for Labor Secretary, is a supporter of the PRO Act.” At this point, both pro-GOP Shermichael Singleton and former Kamala Harris aide Jamal Simmons couldn’t stop their mouths from twitching. Jennings continued: “And somehow, Randi Weingarten is happy about it.” Host Dana Bash was the next to fall, letting out a laugh as Jennings carried on making his point. Not to be deterred, he said: “I mean, what he has done is - you know, which makes me squeamish, to be candid. And so, what he has done, though, is put together an ideologically diverse group of people to sit in a room and help run the government. “And that‘s kind of how he won! His coalition was kind of ideologically diverse that elected him.” Singleton then took over the conversation, and hinted that - whether ideologically diverse or not - Americans had to be ready to accept Trump’s cabinet. “When you win elections, you have a mandate whether you like it or not. The election is over, you guys,” he said. “The Heritage Foundation, AEI, the Hoover Institution have always supplied and recommended names for Republican administrations. This is nothing new. It will not be nothing new beyond Donald Trump. It‘s just a lot of democratic hoopla.” Karen Finney ended the discussion of Trump’s picks on an ominous note, suggesting that in his upcoming term we’d see a different presidency. “Look, I am for... I want the full Trump. I want it all out there. I want the country to see what Trump is all about. I want them to experience it,” she said.None

NoneMercedes driver George Russell was agonisingly close to claiming pole position at Qatar Grand Prix, but he explained that he is more than ready to battle back past pole-sitter Max Verstappen and get stuck into a multi-team fight for the win. The Briton continued his magnificent run of form that has characterised his last few races, lining up for his fourth consecutive front-row start in tomorrow’s race around the Lusail International Circuit. After taking provisional pole, he was pipped to the top spot by just 0.055s following Verstappen’s final flying lap – but the tight result, coupled with his P3 finish in the Sprint, has left Russell optimistic that he can target victory. He also explained that Mercedes couldn’t “have dreamt of” their resurgence to be repeatedly in the mix at the front of the field after they experienced a clear slump in performance after the summer break. “Feeling in such a groove at the moment, feeling really great,” Russell said after qualifying. “My first lap was one of the best I’ve ever done, and then for whatever reason just couldn’t find that extra bit of time on the last lap and Max pipped me. “Just taking the positives – the car’s been so great the last two weekends and just enjoying it while we can.” Four teams could have a shot at the win around the high-speed, physically demanding track as Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari have been virtually inseparable at points across the weekend’s sessions. It was McLaren who led the pack in the Sprint, with Lando Norris handing Piastri the win out of the final corner, after Russell found himself unable to overtake the Australian having lost P2 on the first lap, but he consistently stayed close to both papaya cars. He added: “Hopefully we can have a proper race rather than this team orders stuff! It’s going to be a good race. I think we’ll all be going for it. It’s actually great that Max is in the mix as well – I was really surprised at their turnaround because they looked really off the pace yesterday, off the pace this morning. Obviously they were both in Q3 and Max on pole so I think we’ve got a good race on our hands.” I know I’ve still got it, says ‘slow’ Hamilton Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton said he knew he had ‘still got it’ despite qualifying sixth and nearly half a second slower than Mercedes teammate George Russell for today’s Qatar Grand Prix. The seven-times Formula One world champion, who will be 40 next year when he moves to Ferrari, had said after qualifying seventh for the sprint at Lusail on Friday that he was “definitely not fast any more”. He repeated that verdict to reporters after the main qualifying session, with Russell on the front row, but in a slightly more positive way. “I know I’ve still got it,” he said. “It’s just the car won’t go any faster, I definitely know I’ve got it. It’s not a question in my mind. Looking forward to the end (of the season).” The most successful driver in the history of the sport with a record 105 wins has triumphed twice this season but Russell, second on the grid in Qatar behind four-times champion Max Verstappen, has out-qualified him 18-5. “I’m slow,” said Hamilton. “About half a second off my team-mate in the same car. “It’s been all year,” he added, saying he did not know why that was. “It’s not possible to change it right now.” The season ends in Abu Dhabi on Dec 8, with Hamilton contracted to Mercedes until the end of the year and facing sponsor commitments before he can start at Ferrari next season.

The Los Angeles Clippers have solidified their home court advantage with seven straight wins at home. Can the Intuit Dome prove to be a tough place for opponents to play? LA is very sports-oriented when it comes to the diversity of fans and how much they love their teams. It’s also a place where tradition is taken seriously from generation to generation by fans. Clippers Win Seven Straight in First Full Month at Intuit Dome In the month of October and to start November, LA had not really established their home court dominance, especially in the very beginning. They lost their first four home games against the Phoenix Suns twice, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers lost the first three by an average margin of 3.3 points, showing signs of not being able to close out games. After struggling on the road in Oklahoma City and Houston, and still without star Kawhi Leonard , there wasn’t much to lean on coming back home, but that all changed. Needing wins to cement themselves as a playoff contender in the Western Conference, the team finally got back on track at home. The Clippers have beaten some mediocre teams, but also some better teams such as the Golden State Warriors at home in November. How Did the Clippers Get Here? Down by 26 points after one quarter, the Clippers rallied to win their first game at the Intuit Dome against the San Antonio Spurs. The next game resulted in a win against the underachieving Philadelphia 76ers. That was followed by a nail-biting win against the Toronto Raptors. The Clippers then lost three in a row on the road, before getting a win in Utah against the Jazz. Finally getting back home to Inglewood, LA rattled four straight key victories. The Clippers secured wins against the Utah Jazz, Golden Warriors, Orlando Magic and an NBA Cup game against the Sacramento Kings. It seems like head coach Tyronn Lue has figured out a way to win games that they are expected to win and make a statement against the best teams in the league. The Intuit Dome Creates a New Legacy for the Clippers The Intuit Dome was built for the hope that Clippers fans show up and show out at every home game. Finally having their own arena and being out of the shadow of the Lakers in downtown LA, the Clippers have something to call their own. It’s a bit ironic that the Intuit Dome is neighbors directly with The Forum where the Lakers called home and cemented their legacy. The LA Clippers have released rules for "The Wall" — the Intuit Dome's new section of 51 uninterrupted rows of fans. • Cannot cheer for opposing team • Cannot wear opponent gear • Tickets can only be resold in Clippers marketplace A season on "The Wall" ranges from $5K-$25K. pic.twitter.com/7hQEfDizdo — Front Office Sports (@FOS) January 16, 2024 However, in a new generation in Clippers basketball, owner Steve Ballmer created a new identity for the Clippers. Many people know about the previous ownership with the Clippers and how disastrous it was tomthe team’s legacy. Now, the Intuit Dome is a chance to create a new legacy with a clean slate to work with. As for one of the Intuit Dome’s premier sights, “The Wall” has been doing its job in the arena’s infancy. Whether it is by waving rubber chickens called “Chuckens” or getting creative with chants, Clippers fans have been doing their part. The fans seem to show up the most in the fourth quarter. Free Chicken! Chick-Fil-A has been partnered with the Clippers for years with a special promotion for fans in attendance. In the fourth quarter, if an opposing player misses two consecutive free throws , free chicken sandwiches for all! The following day, people can redeem their free chicken sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A by either downloading their app or using the rewards system. Some players have fallen victim to this promotion, specifically Devin Booker on opening night. The fans in “The Wall” did their job to disrupt the 87% career free throw shooter. Clips Fly Out East For Thanksgiving Next on the schedule, the Clips have a four game road trip ahead of them. The first three of these outings are on the east coast. It looks to be somewhat of a favorable road trip for LA. Games one and three on the road are opponents that have a combined record of 5-24. They are the very underwhelming Philadelphia 76ers (game takes place Sunday) and Washington Wizards. In between those matchups includes a trip to TD Garden and a date with the defending champions, the Boston Celtics. Finally, the trip wraps up on Black Friday in Minnesota for the Clippers’ third NBA Cup game against the Timberwolves.

With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a Daryl Watts shot with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet (0-1-0) challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller's shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto (1-0-0) on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike to seal the score at 3-1 with 12 seconds left on the game clock. Boston's Hilary Knight opened the scoring at the 3:00 mark of the opening frame, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristin Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, was outstanding with 38 saves. Frankel made a significant glove-hand stop on Toronto defender Jocelyne Larocque with 6:36 remaining in the third period. Larocque was alone when a rebound caromed to her in front. But the puck was rolling, and she could only lift her shot straight into Frankel's glove. Nurse's goal tested the league's new jailbreak rule that sees a minor penalty — in this case, Izzy Daniel's tripping infraction — wiped out when a team scores a short-handed goal. . Takeaways Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery last June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto's first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco of Burlington, Ont., played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. Greco is one of five Ontario-born players on the Fleet roster. Key moment With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Key stat Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Up next Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota.
