The Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at the age of 84. His family announced that the longtime civil rights leader, Baptist minister and two-time U.S. presidential candidate passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Jackson was a towering figure in the American civil rights movement, working closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., founding the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and advocating for social justice and equality for decades. He also made history with his presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, expanding political participation and representation. What is his legacy? What is the current climate in America? What has changed?
On February 7, 2026, the North Carolina Tar Heels upset the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils 71‑68 at the Dean Smith Center, capped by a game‑winning three-pointer from Seth Trimble with 0.4 seconds left. The excitement led to fans storming the court twice, first prematurely, and again after the game officially ended. Duke coach Jon Scheyer stated that some of his staff members were injured during the second storming, including one staffer who sustained a bloody lip, though he later confirmed that the individual is now fine. The Orange County district attorney disputed Scheyer’s claim that anyone had been punched, citing no evidence from video or other sources, while Scheyer maintained that he stood by his account. Recently WRAL reporter Chris Lea asked Scheyer about the court-storming and Scheyer doubled down stating, "I know what I saw." What do Reese and Kmac think about Scheyer's comments?
