Bill Maher Challenges Adam Schiff With Fabricated Trump Quote Bill Maher tried to catch Democratic Senator Adam Schiff in a "gotcha" moment during a discussion about Donald Trump’s military actions in Iran. Maher cited a statement from the administration claiming the president had constitutional authority to use military force if it served the national interest, asking Schiff if the phrasing was too vague. Schiff responded by acknowledging the ambiguity, prompting Maher to reveal the quote was actually from a 2011 Obama administration document regarding military operations in Libya. Schiff explained that while Obama had also authorized military action without congressional approval, lawmakers had pushed back against the decision, leading to the eventual halt of operations. The conversation unfolded amid ongoing U.S. military escalation in Iran, with Trump asserting that the country was being "beaten to hell" and warning of further attacks on Truth Social. The president has reportedly expressed interest in deploying ground troops to combat Iran. The current bombardment campaign, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, has killed over 1,200 Iranians and six U.S. service members, according to Iranian officials. Both Democrats and Republicans have criticized the operation, though House Speaker Mike Johnson denied the U.S. is at war with Iran, calling the actions "limited in scope." Schiff reflected on Obama’s 2011 Libya intervention, noting that Congress had passed a resolution demanding an explanation for the decision and urging troop withdrawal. He acknowledged Obama’s reluctance to pursue Assad despite the latter’s use of chemical weapons, citing concerns over congressional opposition.#donald_trump #bill_maher #adam_schiff #operation_epic_fury #mike_johnson

Michigan State vs. Michigan: Game Preview, Prediction, and Key Matchup Analysis Michigan State and Michigan will face off in a highly anticipated matchup at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Sunday, March 7, at 4:30 p.m. ET. The game, which carries significant implications for both teams’ NCAA tournament seeding, pits the No. 8-ranked Spartans against the No. 3 Wolverines. Michigan State enters the contest with a 25-5 overall record and a 15-4 mark in the Big Ten, while Michigan boasts a 28-2 record and a 18-1 conference slate. The Wolverines, who have already secured the Big Ten title, are favored at -10.5 points on the betting line. Tom Izzo’s Michigan State squad, now in his 31st season as head coach, looks to build on a recent close victory over Rutgers, which kept them in the running for a No. 2 or 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Spartans’ performance against Michigan will be crucial for their tournament positioning, as will the outcome of Nebraska’s final game against Iowa. A Spartans win or a Nebraska loss could secure them a No. 2 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Michigan, meanwhile, remains undefeated on the road this season after a narrow 71-68 win over Iowa, a feat not seen in the Big Ten since 1974. The Wolverines, led by head coach Dusty May, are ranked No. 2 in the NET and Kenpom rankings, with a top-tier defense and a strong offense. However, they face a challenge with the loss of sophomore guard L.J. Cason to a torn ACL, a key contributor off the bench. Despite this, Michigan’s depth and resilience have been evident throughout the season. The matchup features two standout players: Jeremy Fears Jr. for Michigan State and Yaxel Lendeborg for Michigan.#michigan #tom_izzo #michigan_state #crisler_center #dusty_may

John Daly II Makes Cut at PGA TOUR’s Puerto Rico Open RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Arkansas Razorback senior John Daly II carded a bogey-free 67 (-5) on Friday to secure his place in the weekend rounds of the PGA TOUR’s Puerto Rico Open. The low amateur finish earned him a tie for seventh place with a combined score of 137 (70-67) at the par-72 Grand Reserve Golf Club. Daly’s performance marked a strong debut on the PGA TOUR, bolstered by a sponsor’s exemption that granted him access to the event. Daly will tee off in the third round at 11 a.m. Central Time alongside Beau Hossler. The tournament will be broadcast live on GOLF Channel on Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Central Time. Reflecting on his achievement, Daly expressed enthusiasm about the course, stating, “This place has always been one of my favorites. To come watch my dad play back in the day, so it’s pretty cool to make it to the weekend.” When asked about his strategy for the weekend, Daly emphasized staying focused on his game. “Honestly, go out there and try to go as low as I can. I got nothing to lose, so just go out there and have fun and just keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. The tournament’s leaderboard saw Chandler Blanchet take the early lead at -13, while Gordon Sargent followed at -9. A four-way tie for third place at -8 included Ricky Castillo, Jesper Svensson, Blades Brown, and Jeremy Paul. Daly, one of five players tied for seventh, showcased resilience throughout the event. Daly’s first-round performance was marked by a strong start, including a birdie on the opening hole. He maintained consistency with eight pars to reach the turn at 1-under, though a dropped shot on hole 10 was followed by a pair of birdies. A bogey on hole 15 was offset by a birdie on the 16th, resulting in a 2-under 70.#pga_tour #john_daly_ii #puerto_rico_open #grand_reserve_golf_club #beau_hossler

John Daly II has made a remarkable leap in his golf career, making his PGA Tour debut at the Puerto Rico Open. The 22-year-old, son of legendary golfer John Daly, is currently three shots behind the leader heading into the final round. His journey from struggling in college to competing at the highest level highlights his dedication and growth. Daly’s rise has been nothing short of impressive. Just over a year ago, he faced challenges at the University of Arkansas, where he couldn’t secure a starting spot despite his mental toughness and short game. His coach, Brad McMakin, described Daly’s progress as the most satisfying he’s seen in 30 years of coaching. Daly’s improvement has positioned him as a top-50 amateur globally, ranked No. 54 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Daly’s path to success wasn’t easy. As a walk-on freshman, he shot an 83 in his only tournament and redshirted the next season due to struggles with his swing. McMakin admitted he initially made mistakes in coaching Daly, but eventually stepped back, allowing the young golfer to focus on fundamentals. With guidance from his father and former Arkansas assistant Barrett Lais, Daly’s game began to take shape. The breakthrough came last spring, when Daly averaged 75.7 in fall events and became a key player for a struggling Arkansas team. His performance included three top-10 finishes, a first collegiate victory at the Columbia Spring Invitational, and consistent play that helped the team qualify for an NCAA regional. McMakin credited Daly with nearly leading the Razorbacks to the regional with a young squad. Daly’s success continued into the summer, where he placed third at the Northeast Amateur, won the Southern Amateur on Arkansas’ home course, and reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur.#arkansas #john_daly_ii #john_daly #puerto_rico_open #brad_mcmakin

Amateur John Daly II has a shot to win Puerto Rico Open in his first-ever PGA Tour start John Daly II, the son of two-time major champion John Daly, is making his PGA Tour debut at the Puerto Rico Open and could secure a historic victory. The 22-year-old, currently a senior at Arkansas, is competing as an amateur and is positioned to become the ninth amateur ever to win on the tour. His performance at Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande has placed him at nine under par, three shots behind leader Ricky Castillo, with a chance to claim the title in his first professional start. Daly II’s journey to this moment has been marked by steady progress. After a two-under-par 70 in the third round, he maintained a strong position on the leaderboard, showcasing his ability to compete at the highest level. Despite the challenging windy conditions, Daly II managed to make 15 pars and record an eagle on the 11th hole. However, a bogey on the final hole—his first since the 15th in the first round—left him slightly behind. “It was solid,” he said, reflecting on the round. “The wind was really hard to get the numbers right, but I stayed in it well. It’s a good day.” The young golfer’s focus remains on the course, though he has faced questions about his strategy and his father’s potential involvement. When asked if he was monitoring the leaderboard, Daly II responded, “I feel like in college golf I look way too much, but I haven’t really looked at all. I saw walking to 15, but I don’t really look at it.” He also dismissed the possibility of his father, a legendary figure in golf, traveling to Puerto Rico for the final round. “He’s busy out west with some buddies and sponsors,” he said. Daly II’s path to contention is both surprising and impressive.#john_daly_ii #john_daly #puerto_rico_open #grand_reserve_golf_club #rio_grande
