US signals broader efforts to protect Nigeria’s Christians following Trump’s military threat

November 22, 2025

President Donald Trump’s administration is promoting efforts to work with Nigeria’s government to counter violence against Christians. The plans signal a broader strategy since Trump ordered the Pentagon to prepare for possible military action. He had warned the U.S. would go after Islamic militants with “guns-a-blazing.” A State Department official said this past week that plans include potential sanctions as well as assistance programs and intelligence sharing. The efforts may support Trump’s pledge to avoid more involvement in foreign conflicts. And they come as the U.S. security footprint has diminished in Africa. Military partnerships there have either been scaled down or canceled.

Devon Dampier leads No. 13 Utah’s rally for wild 51-47 win over Kansas State

November 22, 2025

No. 13 Utah’s College Football Playoff hopes are still alive after a wild 51-47 victory over Kansas State. The Utes rallied from a 12-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter. Devon Dampier threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, including a go-ahead 1-yard score with 56 seconds left. The game turned on an unusual play. After KSU took a 47-35 lead on Joe Jackson’s third rushing touchdown of the game, the Wildcats went for 2, but Utah’s Tao Johnson intercepted a tipped ball and returned it to the Kansas State end zone for 2 points. Jackson rushed for a school-record 293 yards.

November 22, 2025

Notre Dame also set school records for first-quarter points with 35 and first-half points with 49. The Fighting Irish have won nine straight after an 0-2 start.

Trump’s breakup with Greene is not the same as others. But like always, there may be second chances

November 22, 2025

President Donald Trump’s chaotic political universe has at least one consistent law that rises above any other: The president has no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest figure to test that Trumpian rule after announcing her plans to leave Congress in January. Greene originated as a leading face of the “Make America Great Again” movement. That makes her different from many mainstream conservative Republicans who have gone back-and-forth in their relationships with Trump. The president also has implicitly left the door open to making up.

First Native woman drives Oklahoma’s iconic Sooner Schooner

November 22, 2025

The University of Oklahoma’s iconic covered wagon mascot, the Sooner Schooner, has been pulled onto Owen Field in Norman for 60 years. For the first time this football season, it’s being driven by a Native American woman. Brianna Howard is a junior at OU and a citizen of the Choctaw Nation. Howard first drove the Schooner onto the field during Oklahoma’s season opener against Illinois State. Howard acknowledges that some people see the wagon as a symbol of oppression against Native American people. But Howard said to her, driving the wagon represents taking back a symbol of oppression.

Trump teaming up with Jack Nicklaus to revamp ‘president’s golf course’ at Joint Base Andrews

November 22, 2025

President Donald Trump says he’s teaming up with legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus to revamp the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews. On Saturday, Trump took an aerial tour of the courses and promised improvements. He suggested that the rest of the base needs some fixing up as well, but announced that Nicklaus would serve as architect for any facelift of the golf courses. Located near the White House, Andrews has long been a favorite golfing spot for past presidents. Trump has mostly preferred his own properties in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia for golfing. Questions remain about who will pay for the redesign and improvements, as Andrews is military property. The White House hasn’t commented.

Potential presidential candidates are less coy about 2028 plans: ‘Of course I’m thinking about it’

November 22, 2025

There was a time when presidential hopefuls were coy about their ambitions. They’d travel around the country under the guise of helping other candidates and they’d deflect when pushed about their seemingly obvious White House plans. But that’s not the case so for some Democrats who are considering running in 2028. Some could-be candidates are being far more transparent about their intentions. They’re trying to gain maximum visibility at a time when authenticity is in high demand. Political strategists say it’s an approach that makes sense given the wide-open 2028 field and sheer number of candidates competing for attention.

Comic books once stoked fears of crime, but a California city wants to confront that history

November 22, 2025

In the mid-20th century, comic books groups grew in popularity. But some people worried that they were contributing to illiteracy and inciting crime among young people. One California city passed a ban in 1949 banning anyone from distributing comic books prominently featuring crime to children. The Sacramento law is rarely if ever enforced, but the city is taking steps to remove it from the books. Proponents of repealing the law say it’s necessary to protect against alarming efforts in recent years to ban books in various states. One comic shop owner in the city says the ban is “silly.”
