The NBA announced on Wednesday that it has banned the Toronto Raptors’ Jontay Porter from playing in the league after an investigation found that he allegedly violated rules involving betting. The 24-year-old center — who was a two-way player‚ playing for the Raptors and the Raptors’ G League team — played in 26 games this season‚ averaging 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game‚ according to ESPN. In a statement‚ the NBA said that the investigation found that “prior to the Raptors’ March 20 game‚ Porter disclosed confidential information about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor.” “Another individual with whom Porter associated and knew to be an NBA bettor subsequently placed an $80‚000 parlay proposition bet with an online sports book‚ to win $1.1 million‚ wagering that Porter would underperform in the March 20 game‚” the NBA said. “The league’s investigation also found that Porter limited his own game participation to influence the outcome of one or more bets on his performance in at least one Raptors game. In the March 20 game‚ Porter played only three minutes‚ claiming that he felt ill. Due to the unusual betting activity and actions of the player‚ the $80‚000 proposition bet was frozen and was not paid out.” While playing on the Raptors’ NBA G League affiliate in March‚ Porter allegedly “placed at least 13 bets on NBA games using an associate’s online betting account‚” the statement said. “These bets ranged in size from $15 to $22‚000‚ for a total of $54‚094. The total payout from these bets was $76‚059‚ resulting in net winnings of $21‚965. None of the bets involved any game in which Porter played. Three of the bets were multi-game parlay bets that included one Raptors game‚ in which Porter bet that the Raptors would lose. All three bets lost.” The NBA said that licensed sports betting operators and an organization that monitors legal betting markets were responsible for bringing the suspicious bets to the league’s attention. The league said that it has turned over its findings to federal law enforcement officials and will continue to cooperate with authorities. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said: “There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans‚ our teams and everyone associated with our sport‚ which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “While legal sports betting creates transparency that helps identify suspicious or abnormal activity‚ this matter also raises important issues about the sufficiency of the regulatory framework currently in place‚ including the types of bets offered on our games and players‚” he added. “Working closely with all relevant stakeholders across the industry‚ we will continue to work diligently to safeguard our league and game.”

Veteran news anchor Katie Couric outed former colleague Bryant Gumbel as “incredibly sexist‚” claiming that he suggested she should deliver her baby “in a field” and come straight back to the show rather than taking some time off for maternity leave. Couric made the comments during her recent appearance on comedian Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast‚ where she also said that Gumbel’s attitude was similar to that of many of her male colleagues and the overall culture at NBC at the time. WATCH: Katie Couric on Club Random with Bill Maher revealed a couple of interesting facts about her time working on the 'Today Show' with Bryant Gumbel and Matt Lauer:Couric: &;quot;He [Gumbel] got mad at me because I was doing something on maternity leave‚ and he was giving endless shit for… pic.twitter.com/9KjrtZSbGY — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) April 14‚ 2024 “He was prickly‚ but‚ what a talent. He’s such a seamless broadcaster‚ eloquent. I mean‚ when that countdown would happen — five‚ four‚ three‚ two‚ one — he would just hit it perfect‚” Couric said of Gumbel. And while she did have a number of nice things to say about him — she called him a “natty dresser” and noted that he was intelligent and “really talented” — her overall assessment was that he was “complicated.” She went on to say that things kind of came to a head when she planned to take maternity leave when her first child was born. “And he was giving me endless s*** for taking like a month or two off. I was having my first baby‚” she said. “He was like‚ ‘Why don’t you just drop it in the field and come back to work right away or something&;#63;'” Maher‚ who is friends with Gumbel‚ pressed Couric on that point and said that it sounded like he probably meant that last remark as a joke — and while Couric conceded that he’d been “kidding‚” she said that wasn’t the only thing he had said on the matter. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “He was goofing on me but giving me a lot of s***. But it was emblematic of sort of an incredibly sexist attitude‚” she continued. “It was a very different environment‚” she said of NBC at the time. Maher noted that there was an “old boys club” feel to the interoffice politics at major networks at the time‚ adding‚ “And women had to put up with more. They just did. I mean‚ you know‚ not to get all fuzzy and Lifetime Channel about it‚ but people like you and Barbara Walters or just like women comedians of a certain age‚ you have to really tip your hat to them because it was harder.”

House Republicans revealed on Wednesday details about a trio of bills to provide foreign aid to U.S. allies and a plan to vote on the legislation by the weekend. One bill aims to provide $26 billion with a stated focus on supporting Israel in its defensive effort and reimbursing U.S. military operations in response to recent attacks. Humanitarian aid‚ a key priority for Democrats‚ was included in the legislation. A second bill would give nearly $61 billion toward the Ukraine-Russia conflict and provide assistance to regional partners. Around a third of the money is earmarked for replenishing U.S. military assets. There is also a mandate for repayment of economic support by the Ukrainian government. Yet another bill is designed to allocate roughly $8 billion to Indo-Pacific partners‚ including Taiwan‚ and strengthen U.S. military capabilities in the region to deter and counter aggression from China. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Monday that the House would consider national security supplemental legislation‚ which the Biden administration has sought for months‚ after Iran launched a missile and drone attack on Israel over the weekend. In a message to colleagues on Wednesday‚ seeming to anticipate pushback from GOP hardliners‚ Johnson said the House would also consider other measures that Republicans would support. Speaker Johnson sent the following message to his members: “After significant Member feedback and discussion‚ the House Rules Committee will be posting soon today the text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies in Israel‚ the… — Olivia Beavers (@Olivia_Beavers) April 17‚ 2024 The three foreign aid bills will “brought to the floor under a structured rule that will allow for an amendment process‚ alongside a fourth bill that includes the REPO Act‚ TikTok bill‚ sanctions and other measures to confront Russia‚ China‚ and Iran‚” Johnson said. Johnson also said the Rules Committee would soon be posting the text of legislation that includes the “core components” of H.R.2‚ a sweeping border security bill the House passed last year‚ “under a separate rule that will allow for amendments.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Members of the House Freedom Caucus signaled early opposition to the plan. “The Republican Speaker of the House is seeking a rule to pass almost $100 billion in foreign aid — while unquestionably‚ dangerous criminals‚ terrorists‚ &; fentanyl pour across our border‚” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said in a post to X. “The border ‘vote’ in this package is a watered-down dangerous cover vote. I will oppose.” Republicans have a narrow majority in the House. If there are GOP defectors‚ support from Democrats would be needed to pass the bills. In the Democrat-controlled Senate‚ Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had called on the House to take up a $95 billion foreign aid bill it passed in February. But‚ on Wednesday‚ President Joe Biden released a statement that said he “strongly” supports the House legislation and encouraged both chambers of Congress to pass the package. Johnson told colleagues that leadership expects a vote on final passage of the bills on Saturday evening‚ a move that honors the 72-hour rule to allow members three days to read the text of the legislation.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on his administration to consider tripling the tariff on Chinese steel‚ reminiscent of the trade policy of his predecessor and chief rival in 2024‚ former President Donald Trump. Biden spoke at United Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh‚ pitching union members on stricter trade policy on China to protect American jobs. During his address‚ Biden called on United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai to consider tripling the tariff on Chinese steel‚ which currently averages 7.5%‚ according to USA Today. The Wall Street Journal reported that the increase “would be in addition to a separate 25% tariff on steel and a 10% duty on aluminum imposed under the Trump administration.” Biden has borrowed Trump’s strategy to confront China after criticizing it during the 2020 campaign. In 2019‚ Biden asserted that Trump’s trade policy regarding China has delivered negative results for Americans. “President Trump may think he’s being tough on China. All that he’s delivered as a consequence of that is American farmers‚ manufacturers and consumers losing and paying more‚” Biden said during a speech in New York. “His economic decision-making is so shortsighted and as shortsighted as the rest of his foreign policy.” While Biden said the U.S. needed to “get tough” on China‚ the then-candidate argued that the best way forward would be to strengthen ties with the Communist-run country. “China can’t afford to ignore half the global economy if we’re united. That gives us substantial leverage to shape the future rules of the road on everything from the environment to labor to trade to technology to transparency‚” Biden said. Biden appeared to walk back that campaign stance on Wednesday‚ the reversal coming as Trump has sought to make inroads with staunchly pro-Democrat unions. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The Teamsters union‚ a reliable source of support for Democrats‚ gave $45‚000 to the Republican National Committee through the union’s political action committee in February. The donation is the maximum amount the PAC can give. The donation itself isn’t as significant as what it could represent for the future of the union’s support. Teamsters’ political committee donated the money after Trump met with the union’s executive board in what the former president described as “a very productive meeting.” Biden’s Wednesday speech also comes as steel industry labor leaders have protested against a potential sale of U.S. Steel to Japanese-based Nippon Steel Corporation. The Biden Department of Justice last week announced an antitrust investigation into the sale‚ a move that could have negative impacts on the United States’ relationship with Japan.

Great American Media stars Carlos and Alexa PenaVega announced the heartbreaking loss of their fourth child‚ a daughter who died during birth‚ on Tuesday. The two stars‚ who just recently announced their first film with Great American Media’s Pure Flix after doing a number of films with Hallmark Channel‚ shared the news in a joint Instagram post.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Alexa PenaVega (@vegaalexa) “There are never the right words to say when it comes to loss. After a beautiful and peaceful delivery our daughter ‘Indy’ was born at rest. It has been a painful journey‚” the couple wrote. “But in the pain we have found peace. God continues to comfort and hold us in his arms. The prayers from the community around us have been so sustaining in this difficult season.” “This little girl has already changed our lives in so many ways. She was absolutely beautiful. And looked just like daddy. Dark hair and all‚” the post continued. “Grief has come to us in waves. Moments of feeling absolutely gutted … then moments of feeling blessed by just getting a few moments with her. We can’t understand why things like this happen and we may never get those answers. Indy Rex PenaVega‚ you completely changed our world. You moved us to a new place. You gave us the community we have been longing for. We love you can’t wait to see how many other lives you change.” The Hallmark Channel ex-pats have been together since 2012 — and married since 2014 — and share three children together: son Ocean‚ 7; son Kingston‚ 4; and daughter Rio‚ 2.

It’s not every day that a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the Democratic Republic of Congo attracts international media attention. Normally‚ Congo flies under the radar‚ even though it’s actually one of the biggest countries in the world — it’s bigger than Mexico‚ believe it or not. But a couple of years ago‚ this incredible footage from the capital of Congo was picked up by the Western media. It’s from the grand opening of a footbridge that was apparently a big deal for the locals. Here’s how it went: It’s a little like the collapse of that bridge in Baltimore‚ except in this case‚ a barge didn’t need to hit anything. All they had to do was cut the ribbon and stand on the bridge‚ and the whole thing came crashing down on them. Fortunately‚ no one was hurt in that incident. It got a few laughs on social media and everyone moved on. In retrospect‚ however‚ the collapse of that footbridge in Congo’s capital was more than just a meme on the internet. It was a practical manifestation of something that Western academics now want to import into this country. There is a concerted effort underway in universities all over the world to “decolonize” mathematics‚ engineering‚ and science in general. It’s been generations since Congo was under Belgian rule‚ so presumably that footbridge is a great example of decolonized engineering. And now the West wants to emulate it. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show I first noticed this trend when I came across a recent article from Australian National University‚ which according to Wikipedia‚ is supposedly an impressive institution. The gist is that a professor in Australia named Rowena Ball is trying to get the concept of “Indigenous Mathematics” off the ground because Aboriginal people struggle with European mathematics‚ otherwise known as real mathematics. The article includes this remarkable line: Numbers and arithmetic and accounting often are of secondary importance in Indigenous mathematics. That seems to make as much sense as saying that words are of secondary importance in linguistics. Or that maps or of secondary importance in the science of cartography. How can you have mathematics without numbers and arithmetic‚ exactly&;#63; Read on‚ and Professor Ball will tell you:  Mathematics is primarily the science of patterns … and recognising and classifying those patterns. … One interesting example that we are currently investigating is the use of chiral symmetry to engineer a long-distance smoke signalling technology in real time. If you light an incense stick you will see the twin counter-rotating vortices that emanate − these are a chiral pair‚ meaning they are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. The article goes on to explain: A memoir by Alice Duncan Kemp‚ who grew up on a cattle station … in the early 1900s‚ vividly describes the signalling procedure‚ in which husband-and-wife expert team Bogie and Mary-Anne selected and pulsed the smoke waves with a left to right curl‚ to signal ‘white men’‚ instead of the more usual right to left spiral. … To create and understand these signals‚ you have to be a skilled practical mathematician‚ Professor Ball says. It’s not hard to see what’s been conflated here. Yes‚ it’s possible to argue that the act of lighting the incense stick and producing “counter-rotating vortices” does‚ in a way‚ implicate mathematics and particularly geometry. As does literally everything that happens in the physical world. It’s like saying LeBron James is a skilled mathematician because his three-pointers make nice parabolas. He’s not thinking in his head about the parabolic equation when he’s playing. He probably doesn’t even know what a parabolic equation is. In the case that Professor Ball is talking about‚ there’s nothing really “mathematical” in any traditional sense about generating smoke signals‚ and frankly‚ depending on the size of the vocabulary of the signaling system‚ it’s probably something you could train apes to do — even though they have no understanding of language‚ much less math. It’s like saying a child successfully flying a kite is doing math. It’s nonsense. You might as well say that simply by walking across the room you are engaged in mathematics. These are very simple phenomena we’re talking about. Throwing a basketball and lighting an incense stick is not rocket science. Your brain is doing “complex calculations” when you shoot a basketball‚ sure. Or even when you walk across the room. And because our mathematics is so sophisticated and precise‚ we can describe the physical phenomenon to a great degree of sophistication and precision. But that’s only because our mathematics can penetrate reality to that degree.  You don’t have to wonder how precise African folk math or whatever can get in describing that stuff — to say nothing of the math and mathematical physics required to build stuff like nuclear reactors‚ rocket engines‚ computers‚ et cetera. That stuff absolutely requires not just numbers‚ but advanced and highly abstract theories. But highly abstract theories are out of style now — and not just in Australia. Braindead oversimplification is the name of the game. Here for example is a recent TedX talk delivered by a woman who teaches mathematics in Canada. She’s also a vice principal in the Ottawa school district. Listen to her understanding of what mathematics is all about: Well‚ I guess there’s some good news here. I must be a genius mathematician myself because I made coffee and picked out my own clothes this morning. This will come as news to all of my grade school math teachers‚ who graded my math exams in a manner that conveyed a certain lack of faith in my mathematical prowess. But if only they’d known that I already passed the math test just by getting dressed before I came to school. If only I’d been as brain damaged as academic elites are today. Then maybe I would have thought to make that argument myself. Anyway‚ a little over a year ago there was an in-depth column in The Spectator about this movement to discredit and undermine serious academic disciplines‚ especially math. It was written by John Armstrong‚ who teaches at King’s College London and previously taught at Oxford. He’s an actual mathematician with actual credentials. And he summed up the problem with this whole push to “decolonize” math pretty simply. The fact is that colonialism is irrelevant to the validity of mathematics. The Mayan civilization was doing sophisticated mathematics in the Americas long before Christopher Colombus arrived on the continent. … The digits 0123456789 we use today were first written in India and inspired by Chinese mathematics. They were popularised by Persian and Arab mathematicians and then made their way to Europe via the Moors’ conquest of Southern Spain. Admittedly the Moors’ conquest of Spain was a form of colonialism‚ but apparently not the type of colonialism we are meant to be interested in. So what do these activists mean when they say they want to “decolonize” math‚ given that the entire idea of de-colonizing math is completely incoherent&;#63; The Arabs were colonizers‚ too. And why are Australians‚ of all people‚ so interested in promoting this idea&;#63; One possibility is that by some estimates‚ as the Twitter account I/o points out‚ aboriginal Australians happen to have‚ on average‚ the second lowest IQ out of any demographic group on the planet. That’s the sort of thing that’s supposed to be unsayable‚ but it’s impossible to talk about certain groups struggling academically without bringing up the intellectual elephant in the room. There might be a reason why there aren’t many Aboriginals working at NASA. It’s an important point because it means that decolonization‚ practically speaking‚ entails dumbing down these subjects or destroying them altogether. Mainly we see with the “decolonization” agenda the embarrassment that liberal Westerners feel about the fact that their ancestors were far more advanced — in just about every way‚ and by every available measure — than the native people they conquered. The liberal Westerner is constantly looking for ways to even out the score. And we’re seeing that more and more in this country as well. The once-respected Nature magazine‚ for example‚ recently published an editorial (with no byline) that reads: “Why we have nothing to fear from the decolonization of mathematics.” What’s amazing is that‚ if you read the whole editorial‚ you won’t actually find a definition of what “decolonization” means in this context. You won’t find anything close to a definition‚ actually. The most you’ll discover is that according to Nature‚ decolonization: …shows that the roots of discovery and invention are shared between many world cultures‚ which can be particularly empowering for people from historically marginalized groups. Decolonizing science is the antidote to exceptionalism‚ the idea that any single culture or civilization possessed special abilities in advancing science. But as we just established‚ some cultures and civilizations did‚ indeed‚ advance science and mathematics more than others. Some of them were colonizers‚ and some of those colonizers were not white. And regardless‚ none of this has anything to do with mathematics. Maybe you can argue this belongs in some elective history course somewhere. But it has no place affecting courses on the fundamentals of mathematics‚ which is exactly what’s happening in this country. Pittsburgh Public Schools‚ for example‚ recently announced a plan to make mathematics instruction more “equitable.” What does that mean&;#63; Watch: It’s not about getting the right answer anymore in Pittsburgh’s math classes. It’s about the “journey.” The next time your bridge collapses‚ remember that. Your death isn’t what’s important. What matters is that the incompetent engineer who built the bridge had high self esteem. Yes‚ you might be lying on the ground‚ mangled and dying‚ with a giant metal beam spearing you through your stomach‚ but as you lay there expiring‚ just think about the “journey” that those bridge engineers were on. That should give you comfort. It’s the same thing the Canadian teacher said in her TEDx talk. The goal is for everyone to feel like a mathematician‚ regardless of ability. None of this has anything to do with actually teaching math‚ of course‚ which is the point. Students can fail math courses — and they’ve been doing a lot of that in Pittsburgh. But it’s harder to fail a course that begins with the assumption that every student is gifted in mathematics‚ no matter what their test scores or actual mathematical aptitude might say. The other underlying factor that drives all of this superficial decolonization rhetoric and activism is a deep insecurity about actual knowledge on the part of those circulating this garbage. And it’s very well-founded insecurity‚ especially when it comes to ignorance regarding history. Everything is a cartoon with these people: cartoon history‚ cartoon philosophy‚ etc. It’s barely high-school debate talking points stuff — it’s more elementary school level thinking — which does make it easier to incorporate into lower education‚ incidentally. But to be clear‚ this isn’t just happening in Pittsburgh. It’s easy to pick on Pittsburgh‚ for a lot of reasons. As I’ve said before‚ the city is falling apart. But this effort to “decolonize” math has serious financial backers‚ and schools everywhere are adopting similar approaches. In 2018‚ Bill Gates’ foundation created something called the “Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction‚” intended for use in grades 6 through 8. The “pathway” trains teachers who: In order to embody antiracist math education‚ teachers must engage in critical praxis that interrogates the ways in which they perpetuate white supremacy culture in their own classrooms‚ and develop a plan toward antiracist math education to address issues of equity for Black‚ Latinx‚ and multilingual students. Why would Bill Gates want to promote nonsense like this&;#63; It’s hard to say. No one appears to have asked him. But we do know that‚ in the years since 2018‚ math literacy in this country has plummeted. In 2018‚ something called the “Program for International Student Assessment” measured the average 15-year-olds’ math aptitude in this country at a score of 478. By 2022‚ that score had dropped to 465. Meanwhile‚ data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that U.S. math and reading scores are at their lowest level in decades. You can blame that on COVID and wonky gain-of-function research if you want (which Bill Gates also funded through the W.H.O.‚ by the way). But there’s not a serious person alive who thinks that any of this decolonization propaganda is actually helping these scores move in the right direction. It’s doing the opposite‚ by design. This is every bit as serious an attack on this country as the airport and bridge raids that I covered yesterday. This is an attack on our ability to build airports and bridges in the first place. And unless we want our bridges to function like Congo’s in the near future‚ it needs to end.

Bill Maher slammed recent “Death to America” chants by protesters at an Islamic rally in Dearborn‚ Michigan‚ and said “we’ve passed the rubicon.” The host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” went viral after he posted a clip on Tuesday from his recent “Overtime” segment on YouTube in which he called out protestors at the International Al-Quds Day event — a day that exists to remind the Islamic world of their opposition to Israel and the U.S. The chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” began while the organizer‚ anti-Israel activist Takek Bazzi‚ was attacking the “rottenest” country he and the other protestors live in‚ as previously reported. “Now can I talk about American propaganda&;#63; Because there was a rally in Dearborn‚ Michigan — it’s a large Muslim population‚ [there were] chants of ‘Death to America.’ I feel like we’ve passed something here‚” Maher said. “The Left has gotten mad at me for many years for talking about Islam‚” he added. “I try not to do it too much because I know it makes them go crazy‚ and I’ve made my point.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “But … now it’s coming from inside America&;#63; Sorry. Got to talk about this again‚” Maher replied. “This is America‚ for crying out loud‚” he added. “And there are people who will see me [and say]‚ ‘Oh‚ he’s a conservative now.’ I have not changed. I have always liked America and thought death to it what was bad.” Maher recently made headlines when he warned that Canada was a “cautionary tale” for those Americans pushing “extreme wokeness.” “If Canada was an apartment‚ the lead feature might be America adjacent. And if America was a rental car‚ Canada would be America or similar‚” Maher said. “And again‚ honestly‚ Canada‚ I’m not saying any of this because I enjoy it. I don’t because I’ve always enjoyed you‚ but I need to cite you as a cautionary tale to help my country.” “And the moral of that tale is‚ ‘Yes‚ you can move too far Left‚ and when you do‚ you wind up pushing the people in the middle to the right‚’” he added. “At its worst‚ Canada is what American voters think happens when there’s no one putting a check on extreme wokeness.” “And this is why people vote for [former President Donald] Trump‚” Maher continued. “They say in politics‚ liberals are the gas pedal and conservatives are the brakes. And I’m generally with the gas pedal. But not if we’re driving off a cliff.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested that the criminal trials against former President Donald Trump amounted to a racial reckoning of sorts‚ claiming that the “DEIs” were “bringing it home.” Reid made the comments on Monday as the New York hush-money trial was just beginning‚ saying that she thought it was “wonderfully poetic” to see black public officials like Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis leading the cases against Trump.

But he was. And he came out and graduated‚ and he’s prosecuting you‚ Donald.” Reid went on to reference Willis in Georgia and New York Attorney General Letitia James‚ noting their roles in other cases against the former president. “And a black woman is doing that same exact thing in Georgia and a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million fine‚” Reid said‚ calling into question the status of the bond that was posted on Trump’s behalf. “The people who put it up‚ that might not be legit.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural‚ multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. … It says something good about our country that we’re still capable of having that happen.
