On December 11, 2018, Moore was named a First-Team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America,” Wikipedia writes. “On December 12, 2018, The Sporting News named Moore to their second-team, making Moore a consensus All-American. On December 12, 2018, Moore was named the CBS Sports Freshman of the Year,” it added. Moore led the Boilermakers in a shocking 49-20 upset against the undefeated #2 Ohio State Buckeyes in 2018. DOWN GO THE BUCKEYES! Purdue gets the HUGE win at home over No. 2 Ohio State. pic.twitter.com/UHFdOQySCM — ESPN (@espn) October 21, 2018 Yahoo Sports shared further: Moore was in his fifth year in the NFL, but he’ll be remembered more for the heights he reached in college with the Boilermakers. It’s not hyperbolizing to say he found instant stardom as a freshman. A 5-foot-7 weapon, Moore scored a 32-yard receiving touchdown and a 76-yard rushing touchdown in his first quarter of college action. He finished the game with 313 all-purpose yards, a program record. Moore went on to post 2,048 all-purpose yards in 2018, earning him consensus All-American honors, the Paul Hornung Award for college football’s most versatile player, the Paul Warfield Trophy for the nation’s top wide receiver, the Big Ten Receiver of the Year award and the Big Ten Freshman of the Year award. Injuries marred the rest of his college career, as he played a combined seven games in his sophomore and junior year. Still, his talent was obvious enough that he generated significant interest as an NFL prospect. The Arizona Cardinals drafted him in the second round, 49th overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft, but injuries remained a persistent problem throughout his professional career. He stayed with Arizona for three seasons, posting 1,201 career receiving yards, then was traded to the Atlanta Falcons for Desmond Ridder. Moore never played another game, as he missed the entire 2024 season with a knee injury. He joined the Vikings the next season on a one-year contract, but suffered another season-ending knee injury in preseason.

Arriving hand in hand with First Lady Melania Trump, President Donald Trump delivered remarks on Saturday evening at the National Governors Association dinner in Washington, D.C., addressing the nation’s state leaders during the high-profile gathering at the White House.

right chord to strike

Whether through pressure exerted on social media platforms or through armed raids carried out against pro-life Americans, former President Joe Biden and his administration oversaw an alarming increase in the suppression and censorship of religious—chiefly Christian—expressions and actions in the public square. At the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention on Thursday, Christian journalists, broadcasters, and policy experts gathered to discuss where religious censorship stands today, now that President Donald Trump has returned to the White House. “Censorship, as we know, is the trademark trait of authoritarian regimes throughout history, which is very telling that the Biden administration crossed that Rubicon in many ways and sent us down that slippery slope,” National Review columnist Caroline Downey told moderator Tyler O’Neil, a senior editor at The Daily Signal. “For progressive administrations,” Downey added, “discrediting speech that threatens the ruling class is essential. And what is the most threatening kind of speech is mock or ridicule.” Babylon Bee, Big Tech, and Fight Over Free Speech Downey pointed to the example of the Babylon Bee, a conservative and Christian-themed satire news website, which has been repeatedly censored on social media for satirical posts critical of transgenderism, mainstream media outlets, and Democratic Party policies. She noted that the censorship of the Babylon Bee was a key factor in prompting tech billionaire Elon Musk to purchase Twitter (now called X) and usher in a “renaissance of free discourse on a major social media platform.” While Downey expressed her gratitude to Musk for restoring freedom of speech on X, she added that she found it “harrowing” that freedom of speech was protected only by “a benevolent billionaire,” asking, “How do you depend on those types of people to make sure that we have free conversation?” Press Freedom Clashes With Religious Freedom A more recent example Downey highlighted was that of former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who last month participated in an anti-immigration enforcement protest which disrupted services in City Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Downey suggested that Lemon behaved as though his First Amendment right to freedom of the press “trumped those worshippers’ freedom of religion.” She continued, “I think what that shows is a flippancy toward people of faith, that they somehow … don’t apply under the protections of the First Amendment. But beyond that, I think it does show that there is a double standard when in politics, when it comes to religious people.” Cancellation Replaces Deplatforming The Daily Signal’s president and executive editor, Rob Bluey, agreed with Downey that the censorship of Christian media seems to be easing, thanks to individuals like Musk, Trump, and his administration, but cautioned that there is still “a lot of work to do because, on a daily basis, conservative media, Christian media are facing these challenges of censorship.” Today, Bluey said, the threat is “cancellation.” He noted that a video series The Daily Signal had produced on gender ideology had been flagged by YouTube as “hate speech.” Bluey explained, “The big tech firms that exist today, their leadership is most decidedly not Christian and do not particularly like people of faith and I think exercise these terms of service rules they’ve written into their platforms to censor the content that we experienced.” How Marriage and Gender Became the Media Flashpoint Family Research Council President Tony Perkins pointed to gender ideology and marriage as a key media battlefield between Christians and progressives. Perkins recounted that he used to make frequent guest appearances on corporate media news programs but became persona non grata after then-President Barack Obama endorsed same-sex marriage in 2012. "Liberals champion free speech and actually want to have an open debate. Leftists are the ones who say what you and I believe is misinformation, hateful, bigoted—let's silence that."@DailySignal's @Tyler2ONeil shares takeaways from today's @NRBConvention panel on censorship. pic.twitter.com/mPR64iPZc1— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) February 19, 2026 “All of a sudden, the networks began to drop anyone who had a biblical view of marriage between a man and a woman, that was really the pivotal point, was on human sexuality and marriage. It later became gender, but the starting point was the redefinition of marriage,” Perkins observed. He noted that even supposedly conservative media outlets like Fox News would not present a biblical perspective on marriage and sexuality. “It’s fundamental as a society, if we drop the idea of marriage and we capitulate to the Left’s redefinition of marriage, we have no future.” Parents Push Back—and the Resistance Grows Perkins recalled that the tide began turning against gender ideology thanks to parents, who made national headlines showing up to school board meetings and protesting progressive practices like critical race theory and transgender bathroom policies. “That was the tipping point. It was moms and dads who said, ‘Enough of this, because you’re taking my children and you’re indoctrinating them, and you’re jeopardizing their future and leading them down a destructive path.’ So thank God for parents who had the backbone to stand up,” he emphasized. Once parents began drawing attention to the issue, Perkins said, politicians began taking notice, in turn inspiring men and women of faith to step “into the political arena at every level: school board level, city council level, state legislature, and now in Congress. So yes, the resistance to censorship is becoming intense. Now it’s stepped back a little bit.” However, Perkins also warned that American Christians ought not grow complacent. He pointed out that organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which he said “has been the junkyard dog of the Left, forever labeling people hate groups so that it gives the media legitimacy to knock them off,” have substantial monetary reserves and are “probably not going to go away anytime soon.” ‘Now Is Not the Time to Be Silent’ The Left’s censorship regime, Perkins averred, is evidence that the Left fears the message shared by Christian media. He urged fellow Christians “not to shrink back, not to be complacent, thinking that all problems are solved, but to charge forward and retake many of these institutions that have been the agents of censorship. … Now is not the time to shrink back. Now is not the time to be silent. Now is the time to take the hill.” We cannot silence into being careful men. Courage is so contagious. If social media captions can throttle conservative ideologies, good morals, Bible verses and the mention of Jesus, we must use this time to push forward. Wonderful panel this morning with @Tyler2ONeil… pic.twitter.com/Bd7lBYSxzG— Alexis Wilkins (@AlexisWilkins) February 19, 2026 Alexis Wilkins, a senior fellow at the American Principles Project, agreed. “This cannot be a generation of careful men. There is great concern that there are too many careful men,” she said, encouraging Christians to “address these problems—especially problems that arise in people censoring faith—with conviction, instead of cowardice, and credibility.” While Wilkins acknowledged that Christians are called to treat others with charity and grace, she added that “we are not required to take a step back if someone challenges the values that we hold or the safety that we want to provide for our children, for the freedom to believe in Jesus in public spaces and private spaces, as we’ve seen during the Biden administration.” Originally published by The Washington Stand.

On MS NOW’s The Weekend, as they were discussing the Supreme Court ruling striking down Trump’s tariffs, Axios Senior Economics Reporter Courtenay Brown suggested it’s very unlikely Walmart would lower prices if it receives tariff refunds. Brown’s comments reflect a common media blind spot: the assumption that large retailers can simply pocket cost savings without regard to competition. Brown treats Walmart as though it operates outside market discipline. In reality, the retail giant competes on razor-thin margins with Target, Amazon, Costco, and regional chains. If tariff refunds materially reduce costs across major retailers, competitive dynamics would put downward pressure on prices — not because Walmart is charitable, but because it is competitive. Indeed, recent reporting has noted price declines in certain grocery categories — notably eggs — underscoring that retail pricing responds to cost pressures and competitive dynamics. Brown suggested a small Main Street shop might share a refund with customers — but doubted Walmart would. That echoes a familiar media narrative: small businesses are cast in a rosy light, while large corporations, driven by [cue Bernie Sanders voice] gr-e-e-e-d, are presumed to hoard gains. But large retailers got large precisely because they compete aggressively on price. Axios Reporter Doubts Walmart Would Pass Tariff Refunds to Consumers — Competition: Hello?@TheWeekendMSNOW @Courtenay_Brown pic.twitter.com/r8cTtFnGsF — Mark Finkelstein (@markfinkelstein) February 21, 2026 The question isn’t whether Walmart benevolently sends consumers a rebate. It’s whether competitive pressure forces price adjustments if costs meaningfully decline. That’s Econ 101 — something you’d expect a senior economics reporter to consider. Here's the transcript. MS NOW The Weekend 2/21/26 7:09 am ET JONATHAN CAPEHART: My big question is, oh great, the Supreme Court said that these tariffs are unconstitutional. I bet most Americans who are watching, they're like, ooh, so where's my, am I going to get a refund? Hold on.  Listen to what the Treasury Secretary had to say about it when he talked at the Dallas, where was he?  EUGENE DANIELS: Economic Club of Dallas.  CAPEHART: Yeah, the Economic Club of Dallas, yesterday. Watch this, it's short.  ECONOMIC CLUB HOST: must be a food fight going after the $175 billion in it, so.  SCOTT BESSENT: I got a feeling the American people won't see it.  CAPEHART: Heh! I got a feeling the American people won't see it. He's right! We are not going to get any kind of rebate check from anybody.  COURTENAY BROWN: Yeah, I wouldn't wait by the mailbox for your check. There's no check coming directly to consumers.  CAPEHART: Not even direct deposit?  BROWN: Not even direct deposit. Don't sit refreshing your bank account either, it's not coming.  It's actually unclear whether businesses who paid for the tariffs will actually get a refund and if they do, when they get it. It could be years. Even President Trump admitted that it could be years down the line if they see anything at all.  And what businesses then do with the money, especially the ones that said, you know, I'm sorry to our consumers, we're going to have to raise prices because our cost of doing business has gone up tremendously.  I'm not sure how they get that money back to the consumers. I think for the sake of ease, that's not something that will happen at all.  Is there a small business on Main Street somewhere that decides, you know, hey, we finally got our refund, we won't raise prices for this reason? Sure. But I highly doubt that Walmart is going to roll back prices a lot to account for whatever refund that may or may not come.
