An American map showing the rapid increase in average winter temperatures across the United States published last week showed us by doing the numbers what we gardeners know in our bones: It’s getting toastier out there. Not always toasty. There is still cold. Just a lot toastier than before. Thirty-five years ago, when I bought my Pasadena garden (and a little cottage sitting on its edge), there were three or four regular overnight frosts, morning ice glistening on the rose bushes and the irises, every winter, and seven or eight in the different microclimate just down the hill, the floor of the Arroyo Seco canyon where the Rose Bowl is. It’s been well over a decade since we have seen any frost at all. The map published by Climate Central shows that our coastal zone of Southern California is an area that has seen average winter temps rise between 2 and 3 degrees Fahrenheit since 1970. That’s not nearly as major a change as back East, where all of New England is in a zone where the winter lows are on average 5 degrees higher than 54 years ago. This is not an issue of opinion. It doesn’t matter to the real world if a politician such as Donald Trump finds it convenient to pretend that “climate change is a hoax.” This winter numbers are just a small piece of the data pie showing this year to be the hottest ever. “The global mean surface air temperature from January to September 2024 was 1.54°C above the pre-industrial average. This is the first time the world has exceeded 1.5°C warming,” the World Meteorological Organization reports. King Canute can command the tides to recede all he likes, but the rising tide pays no attention to his royal wishes. But the perhaps apocryphal story of the actual ancient English king, crowned in 1027, as told by his chronicler, Henry of Huntingdon, was meant to tell the opposite of how the story is now understood. After the tide kept coming up and dampened his shoes despite the command, Canute stepped back and declared, “Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws.” A king, or a president, can have no effect on global warming and other examples of climate change by commanding the atmosphere and the oceans to stop heating up. The laws of chemistry, and of physics, are eternal laws. But the president can, out of a desire to seem populist, or whatever reality-denying motive is at play here, once again withdraw our nation from The Paris Agreement, negotiated by 196 countries in 2015 “to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.” And surely once in office Trump will do just that. It’s a national embarrassment, yet another one; it’s anti-human, as well as anti-Earth. For those of us who favor the Earth over, say, Mars, and who don’t want to leave our great-grandchildren an inhospitable home planet, it’s a disgusting political maneuver. But that doesn’t mean that smart, everyday Americans will give up on our own fight against climate change, absurd as it is that the president’s likely action will see us join only a tiny group of countries, including Libya, Iran and Yemen, in the denialism. We do contribute 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and American scientists, engineers and politicians of goodwill will continue to work to bring that number down, waiting out the Trump administration’s colossal error. As Max Boykoff, professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado says, yes, there will be “a loss of trust and a loss of opportunity for the U.S. to be in a position of leadership in a clean energy economy, and more generally on other global issues as well.” But: “The renewable energy sector has grown to a point where it actually makes great financial sense to continue to benefit from these market trends. With the way the economy has been moving, the Trump administration’s withdrawal ... may carry more symbolic significance than actual functional significance.” Keep up the good fight, even if this president is unlikely to attain the wisdom of the old king.

In April, the Tennessee Titans used their 2nd round pick on Texas DT T'Vondre Sweat. He was one of the most talented "red flag" prospects in the class. The college production was off the charts, but he had on- and off-field concerns, according to many draft analysts. He couldn't keep his weight in check. Conditioning was likely to be an issue. His size arguably prevented him from being a true three-down player who could effectively rush the passer. He was a goofball whose immaturity was a regular issue. He was a potential liability away from the football field, as proven by a horribly-timed DUI just weeks before the draft. This guy was a draft mistake waiting to happen in the eyes of most teams, analysts, and fans. Titans fans themselves spend the days and weeks leading up to the draft openly campaigning against Ran Carthon selecting Sweat, especially not in the 2nd round. The Titans took him there anyways. And just 3 months into his rookie season, T'Vondre Sweat is proving the Titans as right as they possibly could have been for taking a chance on him. #Titans T’Vondre Sweat Rankings Among Rookie DTs per PFF: •454 Defensive Snaps-1st •72.2 Overall Grade-1st •74.5 Run Defense Grade-1st •71.1 Tackling Grade-8th •58.8 Pass Rush Grade-12th •66.7 Coverage Grade-2nd •13 Pressures-Tied 2nd •1 Sack-Tied 3rd •21 Tackles-1st pic.twitter.com/noerqDdvY4 Sweat has been everything the pre-draft narrative said he couldn't be. He's been a stalwart pro off the football field, handling his business the way it needs to be handled. His work ethic has been consistently relentless according to his coaches and teammates. That hard work has shown itself with progress on Sundays, as Sweat has only improved as an interior technician throughout the season. Amongst a very talented rookie DT class, he's ranked 1st in PFF defensive score and total tackles (21). He's clearly the best run defender of his class. He's got the 2nd most pressures of the group (13), an impressive feat for a guy too big and slow to rush the passer! And after getting so close many times, he recorded his first NFL sack in his hometown of Houston in Week 12. And perhaps biggest of all his stats, he leads all rookie defensive tackles in total snaps played with 454. His weight and conditioning haven't been even close to a problem all year long. At 366 pounds, Titans DT T'Vondre Sweat is second-heaviest player in NFL history to record sack https://t.co/YHjjr8Hrzm pic.twitter.com/Mziptv0Lcy Naturally, Titans decision makers are extremely pleased with how their gamble has panned out. But when you ask them about how he's debunked the red flags attached to him, they'll respectfully push back on that idea. "Yeah, I think it's less of debunking and more of confirming for us" Head Coach Brian Callahan explained. "We felt really good about the person. We felt really good about the background. We did our homework on him. He was vetted very, very, very thoroughly. And we came away with a player—and a person—that we really liked and thought he had all the right make-up. Some unfortunate circumstances might have led others to believe differently, but he's been everything that I thought he would be when we drafted him. And I think if you asked Ran (Carthon), he'd feel the same way. He's a phenomenal person. He's a great personality. He plays hard. All the things that were sort of red-flagged in him during the draft process were not things that we were as concerned about. "I think it's pretty awesome that he's confirmed for us that everything we believed in he's given us and shown us and that's really cool." It's not like Sweat has just recently put these concerns to bed. Since the moment he arrived in Tennessee, he's been a man on a mission to be the best pro he can be. And the Titans didn't take a chance on him recklessly. This wasn't a shot in the dark or willful blindness towards potential issues. This was a calculated, researched move on the part of the Titans front office. A process that showed them something about T'Vondre that so many others didn't see. "And on top of that, we did a really good job, I think, organizationally in putting the structure around him that allowed him to succeed." Callahan explained. "We worked really hard to make sure from conditioning with Zac (Woodfin) and the performance staff to Lauren (Silvio) and the nutrition. All of those things were all put in place for him. There was a structure in place for him to be successful, and he's taken advantage of it. I think he's been everything I hoped he would be from a personality standpoint, as a person and as a player." A big part of that healthy structure is Sweat's running mate, star DT Jeffery Simmons. All along, big number 98 has been involved in the shepherding of his young teammate. "I think that's what makes the situation even more unique, is that Jeff (Simmons) has been looking for a guy like (T'Vondre) Sweat to play with. He's wanted that kind of running mate inside, and a guy that he knows is going to be able to take up double teams and make his job easier. But Jeff's a fantastic leader in that room on top of it. He wouldn't let—it's like if you're going to play next to Jeff, there's an expectation and a standard and he wasn't going to let Sweat fall below that. I think you're seeing the benefits of having a guy like Jeff next to him and the impact he's had on him as a veteran player to a young player. That's what we hoped for." Everything has come up Titans on the T'Vondre Sweat gamble. He's been an immediate impact player, and Tennessee's defense is reaping the rewards of their unwavering faith.

By Conor Ryan The Red Sox have signaled all offseason that they’re willing to spend heavily. Beyond team president Sam Kennedy confirming Boston’s interest in Juan Soto and the team’s readiness to exceed MLB’s competitive balance tax (CBT) to bring in top talent, multiple reports have tied the Red Sox to some of the top names in both free agency and on the trade market. But if Boston wants to win the high-stakes sweepstakes for stars like Soto, Corbin Burnes, and Max Fried, the Red Sox might have to significantly outbid some other deep-pocketed teams like the Yankees. Why? According to longtime ESPN baseball writer Buster Olney, the Red Sox’ status as a top destination for players has waned in recent years — especially after the team dealt Mookie Betts to the Dodgers in February 2020. “One market factor that shifts cyclically is how some teams become a preferred destination for players, while other teams lose ground in the perception game,” Olney posted on X. “Boston is aggressive with dollars now, but the Red Sox will have to pay extra to overcome a negative player perception that really started growing when the team wouldn’t pay Mookie Betts.” One market factor that shifts cyclically is how some teams become a preferred destination for players, while other teams lose ground in the perception game. Boston is aggressive with dollars now, but the Red Sox will have to pay extra to overcome a negative player perception that... The Red Sox’ decision to move on from Betts has been nothing short of a disaster for Boston. Connor Wong the only remaining player still on Boston’s roster from that deal with the Dodgers. Meanwhile, Betts has gone on to win two World Series titles, four Silver Sluggers, and two Gold Gloves over the last five seasons in Los Angeles. Beyond Betts’ exit, the Red Sox have let other homegrown stars like Xander Bogaerts walk in free agency — with Boston prioritizing internal development over active offseasons. The result has granted Boston one of the top farm systems in baseball, but little to show for it at the big-league level so far. Boston has only punched its ticket to the postseason once over the last six seasons. Add in the Red Sox’ quiet offseason in 2023 after promises of a “full throttle” approach , and Boston might have some work to do when it comes to re-establishing itself as a major player in free agency. The Red Sox have already lost out on two potential pitching targets in Blake Snell and Yusei Kikuchi — who signed with the Dodgers and Angels, respectively, this week.

Best known for providing election polls and analysis, Nate Silver has a new prediction, or rather a suggestion that Vice President Kamala Harris should become president, despite losing the 2024 presidential election. What Happened: Silver doesn't think that Harris should be declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, but rather should take over for outgoing President Joe Biden for the remainder of his term ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House. "Is there any particular reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now? It's a very difficult job. It's a dangerous world. Extremely high-stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let Harris serve out the last two months," Silver tweeted . The comments from Silver come after it was reported that Biden avoided the press while in South America for the G-20 summit, as reported by the New York Post. Did You Know? Congress Is Making Huge Investments. Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold Ahead Of The 2024 Election With Our Easy-to-Use Tool Why It's Important : Age has been an important topic during the 2024 election cycle with Biden 82 years old and President-elect Trump 78 years old. When Biden leaves the White House, he will break the record for the oldest president at the end of their term by more than four years, surpassing Ronald Reagan who was nearly 78 when he left the White House in 1989. Trump will break the record for the oldest president at the start of a term, breaking Biden's current record of 78 years, 61 days set in January 2021. Silver previously argued Biden should be replaced on the Democratic ticket for the 2024 election, an event that came true after Biden withdrew from the race after a poor showing in the first presidential debate. Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles in their attacks against Russia, an event that has escalated tensions in Europe and led to more concerns about the president's decisions during his last remaining time in the White House. If Biden were to step down, Harris would become the first female president of the U.S., although it would come as a short-time event and after American voters have still not elected a female president to the White House.

Vaxart Completes Enrollment of Sentinel Cohort in Phase 2b Study Evaluating Its COVID-19 Oral Pill Vaccine CandidateTom Homan opens up about facing threats after being chosen by President-elect Donald Trump for his new administration on The Story. Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan reacted to news of death threats against Trump nominees on Wednesday and said he now takes the death threats he has previously received seriously. "I have not taken this serious up to this point," Homan told Fox News anchor Gillian Turner on "The Story" on Wednesday, referring to previous death threats made against him and his family. "Now that I know what's happened in the last 24 hours. I will take it a little more serious. But look, I've been dealing with this. When I was the ICE director in the first administration, I had numerous death threats. I had a security detail with me all the time. Even after I retired, death threats continued and even after I retired as the ICE director. I had U.S. marshals protection for a long time to protect me and my family." Homan explained that what "doesn't help" the situation is the "negative press" around Trump. HARRIS NEVER LED TRUMP, INTERNAL POLLS SHOWED — BUT DNC OFFICIALS WERE KEPT IN THE DARK President-elect Donald Trump and Tom Homan (Getty) "I'm not in the Cabinet, but, you know, I've read numerous hit pieces. I mean, you know, I'm a racist and, you know, I'm the father of family separation, all this other stuff. So the hate media doesn't help at all because there are some nuts out there. They'll take advantage. So that doesn't help." Homan's comments come shortly after Fox News Digital first reported that nearly a dozen of President-elect Trump's Cabinet nominees and other appointees tapped for the incoming administration were targeted Tuesday night with "violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," prompting a "swift" law enforcement response.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) The "attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’" according to Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt . "Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," she told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "In response, law enforcement acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action." Sources told Fox News Digital that John Ratcliffe, the nominee to be CIA director, Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, the nominee for U.N. ambassador, were among those targeted. Brooke Rollins, who Trump has tapped to be secretary of agriculture, and Lee Zeldin, Trump's nominee to be EPA administrator, separately revealed they were also targeted. Threats were also made against Trump's labor secretary nominee, GOP Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and the family of former Trump attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz.

(Rebecca Droke/AFP via Getty Images) Homan told Fox News that he is "not going to be intimidated by these people" and "I'm not going to let them silence me." "What I've learned today I'll start taking a little more serious." Homan added that he believes "we need to have a strong response once we find out who is behind all this." "It's illegal to threaten someone's life. And we need to follow through with that." The threats on Tuesday night came mere months after Trump survived two assassination attempts.
