No. 5 Notre Dame (6-0) meets No. 2 Florida State (6-0) in Tallahassee on Saturday in a game that will go a long way in determining one of the spots in the first four-team College Football Playoff. It starts with the quarterbacks.

“I think his actions are extraordinarily disturbing. I think they’re disgusting,” de Blasio said during a Monday coronavirus briefing. “There is no excuse for doing something that might threaten the life of a law enforcement officer.” The co-owner of Mac’s Public House, Danny Presti, was arrested Sunday for reopening the bar and then allegedly hitting a sheriff’s deputy “intentionally and with depraved indifference to human life,” while fleeing the scene in his car, according to criminal complaint charges, obtained by The New York Post....

Appearing on CNN’s New Day program on Friday, Chokshi said city officials will continue to monitor the data regarding the Delta variant of COVID-19—which is driving up case numbers across the country. “What we do know is that when you’re fully vaccinated, it does offer strong protection against particularly severe illness,” Chokshi said. “But there are some cases where you will see particular places, like Los Angeles, that’s going through a surge right now reinstate those mask mandates primarily to protect people who are unvaccinated....

As soon as it became obvious here at the Obama celebration in Raleigh that today’s primaries had ended in a split decision–a crushing 15-point win for Obama in N.C., a narrower, perhaps four-point victory for Clinton in Indiana–Obama communications director Robert Gibbs and chief strategist David Axelrod gathered a small group of reporters on a terrace overlooking the parking lot and did what they did best: spin. “We think we won a really big victory here tonight,” said Axelrod....

Taking to the trail after the Petraeus testimony, Obama seized the opportunity to turn up the heat on the Democratic front runner. “Conventional thinking in Washington lined up for war,” he told supporters in Iowa. “The pundits judged the political winds to be blowing in the direction of the president. Despite—or perhaps because of—how much experience they had in Washington, too many politicians feared looking weak and failed to ask hard questions....

Holding a press conference after a town hall at the Joel Coliseum, Obama ripped into Wright for yesterday’s remarks, delivering a “far sharper disavowal than he gave in Philadelphia last month.” Twice saying his was “angry” with the grandstanding Wright–“what mattered to him was commanding center stage”–Obama characterized his former pastor’s speaking tour as “a show of disrespect to me [and] an insult to what we’re trying to do in this campaign....

It was perhaps the most striking statistic to emerge from the exit-poll data dump after Tuesday’s Kentucky primary. Of the 21 percent of Bluegrass State voters who said race factored into their pick, nearly nine out of ten chose Hillary Clinton. In other words, more than 50,000 Kentucky Democrats admitted that the relative melanin content of Barack Obama’s epidermis was a reason they decided not to vote for him. Predictably, this “revelation” led to endless hours of Beltway analysis and the dismissive claim, in pro-Obama circles, that losing Kentucky (and, by extension, elsewhere in Appalachia) was okay because lots of folks who live there are sort of, like, racist....

But don’t expect my friends in the media to play up that particular storyline. Only six weeks to go!

Instant Salads of the Midwest Minnesota In the American heartland, the term salad adheres to regional vernacular and often has nothing to do with vegetables.
