Ginni Thomas claims 2020 election was stolen in meeting with House Jan. 6 committee

WASHINGTON – Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeated claims the 2020 election was stolen, despite a lack of evidence, while testifying Thursday before the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

The committee wanted to interview Ginni Thomas about her advocacy for challenging the results of the 2020 election. The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters after the session she repeated her opinion the election was stolen.

"She said that," Thompson told CNN. 

Her lawyer, Mark Paoletta, issued a statement saying she answered the committee's questions, voiced her concerns about election fraud and condemned the violence of Jan. 6.

"As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas has significant concerns about fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election," Paoletta said. "Beyond that, she played no role in any events after the 2020 election results.

Hurricane Ian's landfall came close to initial forecast, despite some shifts along the way

  Hurricane Ian barreled into the southwest Florida coast   Wednesday as a Category 4 monster just miles from where the National Hurricane Center initially projected it could hit.  In the  days leading up to landfall , the forecast shifted the center of the track as far north as Florida’s Big Bend on Sunday and also hovered over Tampa Bay on Sunday and Monday. The potential track forecast  ignited fears the densely populated Tampa  and St. Petersburg area could get its first direct hit since a 1921 hurricane.  Ultimately, Ian made landfall more than 100 miles to the south, very near the first position estimate for a potential Florida landfall.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/09/28/track-shifts-uncertainties-all-part-hurricane-ian-forecast/10452213002/

Tua Tagovailoa debacle shows NFL still has long way to go in handling concussions | Opinion

  Before Tua Tagovailoa was hit and wobbled and stumbled his way to the sideline on Sunday against Buffalo. Before he’d play just four days later against the Bengals.   Before he’d suffer a frightening head injury   in that game, splayed on the ground, with terrifying phrases like   decorticate posturing and Second Impact Syndrome   being tossed about by experts. Before all of that ... there was a name you will know, from many years before, who is relevant now: Troy Aikman. Aikman is a broadcaster and Hall of Famer, but years ago, as a player, Aikman was something else besides a remarkable quarterback. He was one of the greatest symbols of the NFL's horrific concussion era. Aikman believes he suffered at least a half-dozen during his 12-year career, which lasted from 1989-2000. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/mike-freeman/2022/09/30/tua-tagovailoa-dolphins-nfl-failure-handling-concussions/8135588001/
