Catholic Memorial makes a rare trip south

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

Catholic Memorial coach John DiBiaso reached out to an old friend in order to help find a new opponent.With the prospects of not having a game in back-to-back weeks, DiBiaso had a conversation with his former assistant Tony Gulla, who suggested looking in Florida (where he is currently an assistant coach and guidance counselor). One thing led to another and the Knights were able to land a game against Cardinal Newman Friday night in West Palm Beach.“We looked in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and couldn’t find a game.” DiBiaso said. “Tony said there is a site in Florida where they listed teams looking for a game and we found Cardinal Newman.”Cardinal Newman (2-0) opened its season with one-sided wins over Monsignor Pace (42-17) and Belen Jesuit (41-0). Luke Warnock has completed 28-of-36 passes for 481 yards and seven touchdowns, while Jaylin Brown (20 carries for 133 yards) and Xanai Scott (nine carries for 53 yards) are the top rushers. The receiving group is deep and talented...

‘Scrapper’ a gritty but touching tale of impoverished childhood

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

Kino Lorber release “Scrapper” is a throwback to the “kitchen sink” dramas of the UK’s late 1950s early-1960s New Wave period. The film is a gritty at times, low-budget, social reform-minded entry about a, yes, scrappy 12-year-old girl named Georgie (appealing, non-professional Lola Campbell). Left alone in her council flat since the death of her young mother, Georgie has been pretending to live with a non-existent uncle named, ahem, Winston Churchill.She has spent her days hanging out with her slightly older friend Ali (Alin Uzun) and watching videos of her mother on her phone and crying. Out of the blue, a tall, thin young man appears in her tiny backyard, a genie out of a bottle, claiming to be her father Jason (long-necked Harris Dickinson, the male model of “Triangle of Sadness”). This stranger, a 30-year-old man-child with the hair around the top of his head dyed white, making him resemble a marsupial, claims to have been in Spain, working spots popular with Brits and le...

Modern English ‘Long in the Tooth’ – and proud of it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

If you made love or got married to Modern English’s post-punk classic “I Melt With You,” guess what: You were missing the point. Though it seems like a nice song about sex, frontman Robbie Grey reveals that it really has a darker meaning.“It was initially written as an antinuclear song,” he said this week. “We were thinking of two people melting together as the world explodes. And that’s probably what you’d do if the world was ending, you’d want to be with the person you love. Everybody has their own interpretation, but it started out about making love as the bomb drops.” But he doesn’t mind if people have a softer interpretation. “I’m a sexual person, and I enjoy pursuing the art of sex with my wife,” he says. “And we’re not the kind of band that hates the fact that we had a very popular song. It makes the concerts more fun — I don’t even have to sing it, the crowd does it for me. And it pays all our bills.”Having toured extensively in recent years, Modern English plays the H...

Franks: CNN poll shows almost any Republican can beat Biden

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

The good news for former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley is that if the election for president were held today, she would clearly beat Biden — by six points.The bad news for her is that nearly every one of her top Republican challengers – except for former President Donald Trump – would also beat Biden, though just narrowly. It is early, however.For Republicans who have as their top priority winning in November 2024, this is all very good news. Despite Trump getting all the media attention and just one GOP debate (without Trump), Trump is near the bottom of GOP presidential candidates in hypothetical head-to-head contests against Biden.Want to win, GOP? If so, it is becoming very clear what should happen. Trump supporters should switch their support in the primaries to the best candidate who can win the White House.Being the best Republican candidate among Republicans does absolutely nothing for America and little for Trump. Who can win over the independents ...

Graham: Piercing the political bubble of liberal media

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

Chuck Todd pulled out a farewell speech of sorts on his last day as “Meet the Press” host on NBC, proclaiming, “I’ve had the honor of helping to explain America to Washington and Washington to America.”Does anyone really think an inside-the-Beltway creature like Todd is “explaining America to Washington”? Many viewers wouldn’t find Todd’s main job as “explaining,” but as “editorializing.”Democrats get cozy softballs, like this question on Sunday to California Gov. Gavin Newsom: “Do you think Trump or DeSantis would be a greater threat to democracy?” Republicans get interrupted and shouted down. Especially when someone like Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) argues NBC is biased, and Todd snaps back that Johnson should go back to “your partisan cable cocoon.”That’s why it’s humorous when Todd also wrapped up his Sunday sermon by decrying “the lack of knowledge and nuance in ...

Editorial: Dems shut out Hunter Biden to bolster president

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:09 GMT

Hunter Biden best not look to dad Joe Biden’s pals for any favors these days.The Big Guy’s cohorts in the Democratic party are throwing Hunter under the bus.On Thursday, Hunter Biden was indicted on federal firearms charges, according to reports. He is accused of lying about his drug use when he bought a firearm in October 2018. This indictment comes weeks after the collapse of a plea deal that would have averted a criminal trial.Back in May, the president was on Team Hunter as initial tax and firearms charges were in the works.“First of all, my son has done nothing wrong,” Biden said in an interview with Stephanie Ruhle, host of “The 11th Hour on MSNBC.” “I trust him. I have faith in him.”Asked how charges against his son could impact his presidency, Biden said “It impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”But the elder Biden can’t afford another sandbag ahead of the 2024 presidential election. His poll numbers are abysmal, his public appea...
