Pro-life groups slap back at ‘terrorist’ designation from Fort Liberty
During a Pentagon briefing at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, on July 10, two prominent pro-life organizations were described as “terrorist groups,” a description that drew swift condemnation from national and local pro-life leaders. Slides from the Anti-Terrorism Awareness Briefing Posts The slides were posted to social media late on July 10 by Pentagon whistleblower Samuel […]
Betnijah Laney-Hamilton’s injury forcing Liberty teammates to step up
Sandy Brondello doesn’t know anything about the status of star defender Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, who missed her second straight game with a right knee injury sustained in the Liberty’s 91-76 win over the Sky. There is no timeline yet as to whether the versatile guard/forward will return before the Olympic break and whether he has undergone […]
Sabrina Ionescu’s clutch play leads Liberty past Sun
The NBA’s social media accounts proclaimed Sabrina Ionescu a key player. It’s hard to argue after the Liberty superstar’s performance on Wednesday. Ionescu scored a team-high 21 points, including two in the final seconds of the game, and the Liberty beat the Sun 71-68 to take sole possession of first place in the WNBA standings. […]
Caitlin Clark, surging Fever stun WNBA-best Liberty in upset win
Even after the miss, Liberty still had chances. Sabrina Ionescu’s deep 3-point shot bounced off. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton was a major reason her team got back into the game, scoring 20 points and chasing down offensive rebounds. But as Lainey Hamilton tried to reset the attack, giving Liberty a final shot to overcome a one-goal deficit, […]
Liberty tasked with cooling off Caitlin Clark’s surging Fever
This is not the same Fever team that Liberty beat, 104-68, just over a month ago. This isn’t the same as when a superteam ruined their home opener (which also marked Caitlin Clark’s regular-season debut at Gainbridge Fieldhouse) or when they lost their three meetings this season by a combined 83 points. The players haven’t […]
Liberty in Peril
Estimated Reading Time: 7 minutes I finished reading Prof. Randall Holcombe’s book Liberty in Peril: Democracy and Power in US History during the 2020 election. I have yet to hear any candidate say the word “liberty” and would be shocked if I did. We are bombarded with messages for candidates and messages merely imploring us […]
Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones propel Liberty to key win over Lynx
Two hours before the game, Sandy Brondello didn’t even know if Sabrina Ionescu would play. She’d been downgraded to “doubtful” with an illness diagnosis on the Liberty’s injury report that afternoon and hadn’t been able to speak up after the win two days earlier. Ionescu will likely be on a minutes limit against the Lynx, […]
The Threat to Liberty is Coming from Inside the House
Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes You might be, as I am, alarmed about the future of liberty. How deep are the roots of liberty when so many submit to authoritarian measures in response to COVID, and approve the use of coercion against those less eager to comply? Unable to visualize alternatives, public acceptance of top-down […]
Boy, 6, drowns at Liberty Lake Day Camp in NJ
A 6-year-old boy drowned at a New Jersey day camp Monday afternoon, authorities said. The boy was found unresponsive in the pool at Liberty Lake Day Camp in Mansfield Township around 2 p.m., according to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office. He was pulled from the water by lifeguards and camp staff administered CPR. The boy […]
Liberty out of sorts in Commissioner’s Cup final loss to Lynx
There were plenty of moments in the second half when the Liberty looked off kilter. They were far from the super team that made it look simple at times, but this moment late in the fourth quarter proved to be the deciding factor. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton missed the second free throw. Kayla Thornton picked up the […]
