Trump’s Gestapo strikes again.

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake. st.news/49HLasD

While Donald Trump spent the day at Mar-a-Lago at his resort, President Obama was serving a Thanksgiving meal to a veterans care home. This is what real leadership looks like 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

51-41 Dongola is your final. The Demons improve to 2-0 and Shawnee, which played 3 good quarters, drops to 0-2.


The exit polls are looking good for Dongola as it has authored a 17-2 4th quarter to grab a 50-41 lead on Shawnee with 31.3 seconds left. Caleb Gaddis has 30 for the Demons but he's gotten enough help in the 4th quarter.


Shawnee 39-34 over Dongola after 3 quarters. Kyler Jewell went off for the Redskins with 12 points in the period. He had 23 of their 32 on Monday night.


Shawnee scored first 7 pts of third quarter to up the lead to 8 before Dongola got the next 5. Redskins 32-29 with 4:32 left in the period. Caleb Gaddis has 21 of the Demons' 29.


Brody Maser nails a corner 3 with 5.6 seconds left in the half and Shawnee, a 38-point loser last night, takes a 25-24 halftime lead on Dongola, which won by 16 last night. You just never know, right?


Shawnee took a 10-8 first quarter lead but Dongola now owns a 17-15 edge at the 3:54 mark of the second quarter. The Demons' Caleb Gaddis is a one-man show so far with 16 points.

Final score in game one at Cobden: Century 67, Agape Christian 48. Adam Taake scored a game-high 25 for the Centurions, while Justin Sesock tallied 20 for the Knights. Next up: Shawnee vs. Dongola.


At Cobden tonight for its Thanksgiving week tournament. Century leads Agape Christian 53-37 after 3 quarters of the first game. We're zeroing in on the second game with Shawnee (0-1) and Dongola (1-0). Cobden and Carrier Mills play the final game but it will end after deadline.
