Chad Chronister, chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), announced his withdrawal from consideration on Tuesday. Chronister, a Florida sheriff, cited the significant responsibility of the position as the reason for his decision. Chronister's withdrawal comes after Trump's announcement on Sunday, where he emphasized Chronister's potential focus on curbing fentanyl trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border. The DEA, a crucial part of the Justice Department, is tasked with enforcing U.S. drug laws. The Trump transition team is currently navigating its own challenges, including securing agreements with the Justice Department for background checks necessary for handling classified materials, after an earlier nominee for Attorney General was also withdrawn.

Letter: Let’s all have a joyous holiday gatheringVANCOUVER - A Federal Court judge has dismissed an appeal by a “deeply religious” British Columbia health executive who said he was wrongfully denied employment insurance after being fired three years ago for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Darold Sturgeon was fired as executive director of medical affairs for Interior Health in November 2021 after refusing to get the vaccine based on his Christian beliefs. He applied for employment insurance benefits but was denied due to being fired for “misconduct,” with appeals to two levels of the Social Security Tribunal also failing, leading him to seek a judicial review in Federal Court in August 2023. The ruling says Sturgeon believed the tribunal should have examined his assertion under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that the term “misconduct” did not apply to his case “because he was exercising his freedom of religion.” Justice William Pentney says “recent, abundant and unanimous case law” defined a specific and narrow role for the tribunal’s appeal divisions, focusing on an employee’s conduct, and not justification for and employer’s policies or compliance with the Charter. The ruling says Sturgeon’s appeal fell “outside the mandate” of the tribunal and he could have challenged Interior Health’s mandatory vaccine police “through other avenues.” These included advancing a Charter claim, lodging a wrongful dismissal suit or labour grievance, or complaining to the British Columbia Human Rights Commission. “The point is, there were other avenues available to pursue the Charter question; this decision does not cut off the only avenue of relief,” the ruling says. It added of Sturgeon, who represented himself, that “no one has doubted that he acted based on his understanding of his religious obligations,” and that he had “ably advanced his arguments.” “However, despite his sincere and thoughtful arguments, the binding jurisprudence requires that I find against him,” the ruling says.

Reynolds hasn't played since Week 5 and was on injured reserve. While the Broncos designated him for return to practice ahead of the team's Week 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons, his 21-day practice window was about to expire. That meant the team either had to move him to the active 53-player roster this week or keep him on injured reserve to keep him but instead chose to waive him.

Rarely does a college basketball game provide such stark contrast between the sport's haves and have-nots as when Jackson State faces No. 9 Kentucky on Friday in Lexington, Ky. While Kentucky claims eight NCAA Tournament crowns and the most wins in college basketball history, Jackson State has never won an NCAA Tournament game and enters the matchup looking for its first win of the season. Impressive tradition and current record aside, Kentucky (4-0) returned no scholarship players from last season's team that was knocked off by Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. New coach Mark Pope and his essentially all-new Wildcats are off to a promising start. Through four games, Kentucky is averaging 94.3 points per game, and with 11.5 3-pointers made per game, the team is on pace to set a school record from long distance. The Wildcats boast six double-figure scorers with transfer guards Otega Oweh (from Oklahoma, 15.0 ppg) and Koby Brea (from Dayton, 14.5 ppg) leading the team. The Wildcats defeated Duke 77-72 on Nov. 12 but showed few signs of an emotional letdown in Tuesday's 97-68 win over a Lipscomb team picked to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason. Kentucky drained a dozen 3-pointers while outrebounding their visitors 43-28. Guard Jaxson Robinson, held to a single point by Duke, dropped 20 points to lead the Kentucky attack. Afterward, Pope praised his team's focus, saying, "The last game was over and it was kind of on to, ‘How do we get better?' That's the only thing we talk about." Lipscomb coach Lennie Acuff also delivered a ringing endorsement, calling Kentucky "the best offensive Power Four team we've played in my six years at Lipscomb." Jackson State (0-5) and third-year coach Mo Williams are looking for something positive to build upon. Not only are the Tigers winless, but they have lost each game by nine or more points. Sophomore guard Jayme Mitchell Jr. (13.8 ppg) is the leading scorer, but the team shoots just 35.8 percent while allowing opponents to shoot 52.3 percent. The Tigers played on Wednesday at Western Kentucky, where they lost 79-62. Reserve Tamarion Hoover had a breakout game with 18 points to lead Jackson State, but the host Hilltoppers canned 14 3-point shots and outrebounded the Tigers 42-35 to grab the win. Earlier, Williams, who played against Kentucky while a student at Alabama, admitted the difficulties of a challenging nonconference schedule for his team. "Our goal is not to win 13 nonconference games," Williams said. "We're already at a disadvantage in that regard. We use these games to get us ready for conference play and for March Madness." Jackson State has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2007. The Tigers had a perfect regular-season record (11-0) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2020-21 but lost in the league tournament. Kentucky has never played Jackson State before, but the game is being billed as part of a Unity Series of matchups in which Kentucky hosts members of the SWAC to raise awareness of Historical Black Colleges and Universities and provide funds for those schools. Past Unity Series opponents have been Southern in December 2021 and Florida A&M in December 2022. --Field Level MediaGaetz is gone? In these times, Trump’s bro culture trumps rape
The Premier League have championed the Rainbow Laces campaign over the past two matchdays, with the captains of every team in the top flight encouraged to wear a rainbow armband. Every captain in the division, barring Sam Morsy of Ipswich who is a practising Muslim, opted to wear the themed armband and support the cause. However, in both games , first against Newcastle on Saturday, Guehi has added his own message to the armband. Guehi, raised a Christian by his church minister father, added 'I love Jesus' to the armband against Newcastle before adapting the message to 'Jesus loves you' against Ipswich on Tuesday. The FA strictly prohibits political and religious slogans on sports equipment and reminded Guehi of the rules ahead of Tuesday night's game at Portman Road. Yet, the Eagles defender ignored the FA's explicit warning and could now face punishment from the association. Speaking on Guehi’s decision to adorn the religious message on the armband, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: “We respect every single player, especially Marc as our captain. I think everyone who knows him knows that he’s a fantastic player, a great guy - very humble. “We shouldn’t make it bigger than he is. He is very respectful of everyone at the club. All of us in football are against discrimination and abuse. It’s a great campaign [Rainbow Laces]. “We spoke about it. I speak to Marc quite often, he’s my captain. He’s no child. He’s an adult who has his opinion. “We accept and respect every opinion. The quote of this campaign is to be tolerant, Marc is very tolerant - everything is fine.”Attorneys want the US Supreme Court to say Mississippi’s felony voting ban is cruel and unusual
