FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU leading scorer Frankie Collins will miss the rest of the season because of a broken bone in his left foot, the school said Friday. The 6-foot-2 senior guard, in his first season at TCU after spending the past two at Arizona State, is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday in Dallas. Collins leads the Horned Frogs (5-4) with 11.2 points and 4.4 assists per game. He also averages 4.4 rebounds per game. TCU said Collins broke his foot in the first half of its 83-74 loss to Vanderbilt last Sunday. He still played 35 minutes, finishing with six points and seven assists. Collins played 31 games as a freshman for Michigan's NCAA Sweet 16 team in 2021-22 before transferring to Arizona State. He started all 32 games last season for the Sun Devils, averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He could potentially get another college season through a medical redshirt. Arizona State is in its first Big 12 season. It will host TCU on Feb. 15.

In anticipation of the show’s ending, TV Insider caught up with stars Novak, Guillén, Berry, and Proksch alongside creatives Paul Simms , Sarah Naftalis, and Sam Johnson in our studio at New York Comic Con to discuss the final season. So, do they stick the landing? It’s a question that looms over the show as we anticipate the finale episode, but according to Proksch, they do indeed. @Mattdoylephoto “I think it’s hard on a comedy, based on history, to stick the landing,” Proksch says in the video interview, above. “But I feel like we accomplish that.” It’s definitely something to consider as series executive producer Taika Waititi , who co-wrote and co-directed the 2014 film What We Do in the Shadows as well as starred as Viago in both the film and show, tells TV Insider, “It’s time for it to end... If there was another season, there’d be vampires jumping sharks.” While he couldn’t say anything about the finale itself, there’s plenty of love for the series on Waititi’s end as he notes, “I can’t believe this five-minute idea of vampire flatmates has lasted this many years. And I’m really... I’m proud of it.” 'What We Do in the Shadows': Doug Jones on Baron Afanas' Award & Alexander Skarsgård Guest Appearance (Exclusive) As Simms points out, Season 6 has been filled with so many funny plotlines, “there’s nothing really sad about it.” When it comes to fans facing the finale he adds, “They’ll love it. They won’t realize till the very end that it’s that there’s any reason to be [sad].” While Johnson jokes that “I pushed for self-importance,” within the final season, Novak jokes, “I pushed for Season 7.” See what else the team had to share about Season 6’s funnier storylines including Guillermo’s gig in the corporate business industry as well as Laszlo’s scientific experiments in the full video interview, above, and let us know what you hope to see in the series finale of What We Do in the Shadows before it airs on FX.

US senator says mysterious drones spotted in New Jersey should be 'shot down, if necessary'WASHINGTON — FBI Director Chris Wray on Wednesday became the latest part of institutionalist Washington to act in the interest of the institution he led even as incoming President-elect Donald Trump makes clear he intends to burn them all to the ground. Like parents modeling good behavior to a toddler, President Joe Biden and members of his administration have been performing the rituals of a democracy going through a normal transfer of power to benefit a man who tried to end that democracy just four years earlier. Vice President Kamala Harris conceded her election loss and congratulated Trump. Biden invited him to the White House in the following days and pledged a smooth transition. Special counsel Jack Smith last month dismissed dozens of felony charges that could have put Trump in prison for decades because of standing Department of Justice policy that doesn’t allow it to prosecute a sitting president. And, Wednesday, Wray — who was appointed by Trump in 2017 and has more than two years to go in his 10-year term ― told his colleagues that he would resign before Trump takes office in January, given Trump’s desire to install loyalist and fellow conspiracy theorist Kash Patel in that job. “This is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important in how we do our work,” Wray said in a video released by the FBI of his remarks. “This is not easy for me. I love this place, I love our mission and I love our people.” Whether the strategy of teaching the value of American institutions by example will work with Trump remains to be seen. Bradley Moss, a lawyer in Washington who specializes in national security work, has his doubts, and said Wray should have forced Trump to fire him, given the man Trump wants to replace him with. “Utterly spineless. By doing this, Director Wray has guaranteed the very thing he was supposed to avoid: the FBI becoming a politicized institution,” Moss said. “If there was any question that going forward the position of director will change every time the party in power changes, something the Watergate statutory reforms were supposed to prevent, that idea is dead.” FBI directors serve 10-year terms as a result of a post-Watergate reform implemented after President Richard Nixon tried to use both the FBI and the CIA to cover up his attempts to cheat in the 1972 election by spying on the Democratic Party . Not long after Wray announced his decision, Trump — a convicted criminal who eluded federal charges by winning back the presidency — continued lying about his prosecutions and the FBI’s role in them. “Under the leadership of Christopher Wray, the FBI illegally raided my home, without cause, worked diligently on illegally impeaching and indicting me, and has done everything else to interfere with the success and future of America,” Trump posted on social media. In fact, the search of Trump’s South Florida country club was approved by a federal judge. Agents who executed the warrant found dozens of secret documents that Trump had refused to turn over despite a subpoena demanding that he do so. Further, Wray had nothing to do with either of Trump’s impeachments — the first in 2020 for his attempt to extort Ukraine into smearing Biden; the second for his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt. Both impeachments were carried out by the House of Representatives. In May 2017, Trump fired then-FBI director James Comey after he refused to pledge Trump his personal loyalty. Trump replaced him with Wray, who at the time was in the private sector after having served in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush. Mark Warner, a Democratic senator from Virginia who will soon go from chair to ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he was sorry to see Wray step down. “I understand that Director Wray is simply trying to do what he has always done – which is act with integrity – and I thank him for the principled leadership he brought to the FBI and for his service to the country,” Warner said in a statement. Patel, who worked in Trump’s first administration in various roles but seemed most interested in undermining evidence that Russia had helped Trump win in 2016, said in an interview last year that he would go after Trump’s critics if Trump returned to the White House. “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in the government, but in the media,” Patel said . “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you. Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out, but yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.” In fact, no one helped Biden “rig” any election. Biden beat Trump by 7 million votes in 2020. Nonetheless, in a book he wrote called “Government Gangsters,” Patel laid out in an appendix the names of 60 people who may need going after. They include former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr, former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham, former Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper as well as Biden, Harris, and Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton. Patel made clear that his list “was not exhaustive.” Don't let this be the end of the free press. The free press is under attack — and America's future hangs in the balance.

And the legal fight over the ability to fire Wray given the statutory protection instituted post-Watergate would have been bloody,” he said. Mike Davis, a former Senate lawyer who has been working on Trump’s transition team, said Wray was smart to step down. “My best guess: Chris Wray would have been fired, publicly humiliated and legally defeated.” Related From Our Partner
B.C. NDP government, Greens forge confidence agreement with 'shared priorities'In Week 11 when the New York Jets played the Indianapolis Colts, Breece Hall suffered a knee injury. Hall was able to play through the injury while rehabbing over the team’s bye week. This meant he was more than capable of playing in the Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks. This was a very questionable decision from the team’s coaches to allow Hall to even play and further aggravate the knee in games that just simply didn’t even matter. In that game, Hall fumbled twice and just played horribly. He didn’t look at all like the Breece Hall fans came to know, and it was obvious he was playing hurt. Despite his injury, Hall played in a season-low 62% of offensive snaps, which is still a very good amount for someone who is injured. Unfortunately, the Week 13 game against Seattle more than likely marked the end of the former Iowa State star’s season. At this point, there’s no reason to rush Hall back when these games don’t mean anything. It seems unlikely that the Jets star running back will see the field again this season, and some may argue this is what the Jets should do. With that said, this more than allows both Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen to truly show Jets fans what they are capable of and see a fair amount of action on the field. If what we saw in Week 14 against Miami is any indication, all hope may not be lost for the New York Jets in their ground field game. All Hope May Not Be Lost For The New York Jets Following Breece Hall’s Injury Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis were almost identical in their stats, nearly splitting their time on the field 50/50. Allen finished the game with 43 rushing yards on 11 carries. He also caught the ball four times for 38 yards. As for Davis, he ran for 40 yards, on 10 carries, and even got on the board with a touchdown. Similarly to Allen, Davis also proved to be a receiving back, catching the ball three times for 27 yards. In total, Allen was on the field for 37 offensive snaps, while Davis was on for 36 offensive snaps, nearly identical. Since the preseason, Allen has been showing a ton of potential and multiple flashes of excellence. With his playing time now being extended, it’s very possible we could see a heavier workload for Allen in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Davis has shown that he can be a great pass-catcher, especially in recent weeks, despite being mainly used on the Jets’ special teams unit for almost the entirety of the 2024 NFL season. Combined, both Allen and Davis tallied a total of 148 total yards and a touchdown. These are certainly numbers Breece Hall could reach by himself, but it’s worth noting the potential is certainly there for each of these two running backs. As the season winds down, and with the Jets mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, it’s time to see what the Jets should do when it comes to their ground game going forward. These final four weeks could be crucial in figuring that out. Despite the injury, Breece Hall is certainly still the best back on the team, and that’s not something that can be argued. However, if the race is between Allen and Davis, it should be interesting to see what each back could do with some good time on the field. It would be smart to use these final few weeks to evaluate how to make the team what it has to be in 2025 and beyond, and truthfully, that could start with the running game. Losing Hall is a tough pill for any Jets fan to swallow. Hall is the team’s best play-maker, and certainly the Jets best running back. However, the smart thing to do is to let Hall sit for the remainder of 2024 and not further injure anything. With all of that said, all hope may not be lost when it comes to the Jets’ ground game. Davis and Allen both contain a lot of potential, and either one could be a decent RB2 if given the chance. So, now one question remains, in 2025, who will it be?

NFL Week 12 injury tracker: Latest updates on Malik Nabers, Mike Evans, D'Andre Swift and others banged-upPolitics U.S. Deploys A-10 Warthogs to the Philippines Amid South China Sea Tensions By mayukh - December 10, 2024 Amid ongoing tensions in the South China Sea, the United States has deployed four A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, also known as Warthogs, to Clark Air Base in the Philippines . This deployment is part of an effort to strengthen military ties and conduct integrated training with the Philippine Air Force until December 15. The A-10s, known for their robust capabilities, bring a significant strategic advantage to both nations in the region. Enhancing Military Cooperation Between Allies In The South China Sea The A-10 Thunderbolt II has been a staple of the U.S. Air Force since 1976, designed primarily for close air support. Equipped with a 30 mm gun and capable of carrying up to 16,000 pounds of bombs and missiles, the Warthog can target both ground forces and maritime threats. In recent years, it has demonstrated its ability to strike small ships at sea, as seen in various tests and combat patrols, including a 2017 exercise in the Gulf of Mexico and a 2023 mission over the Gulf of Oman. This deployment comes in the wake of increased Chinese military presence near the Philippines-held Thitu Island, located in the contested waters of the South China Sea. China’s claim to nearly all of the South China Sea overlaps with the territorial claims of the Philippines and other nations, fueling disputes and military tensions in the region. The U.S. and the Philippines share a mutual defense treaty, which commits both countries to support each other in the event of an attack, particularly in the South China Sea. The training mission, part of the U.S. Air Force’s Dynamic Force Employment (DFE) strategy, aims to enhance operational flexibility and increase cooperation between U.S. and Philippine forces. This initiative highlights the importance of maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific region, where both nations are focused on countering China’s growing influence and ensuring peace and security in the contested South China Sea.
