“Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or long weekends. It’s about those who gave everything so we could have both.
‘Earn this.’ 🇺🇸
May we live lives worthy of their sacrifice. #MemorialDay”
NEW: Car slams into a brick wall following a failed grappler attempt in Riverside County, California.
Deputies were seen trying to use their new grappler system just moments before the car slammed into a wall.
A man in his backyard was seen running just as the car made contact with the wall.
It is unclear if the suspect is injured.

On this day 24 years ago, Coleman Coliseum witnessed one of the most unforgettable finishes in @AlabamaMBB history that propelled the Crimson Tide to its first SEC regular-season championship in 15 years.
With everything on the line and an SEC title within reach, Antoine Pettway delivered a moment that still echoes through Tuscaloosa — a glass-kissing layup that lifted Alabama past Florida, 65-64, on Feb. 23, 2002.
Alabama had not won a SEC regular-season title since 1987, but on this memorable day inside Coleman Coliseum, destiny hung in the balance. It was fitting that head coach Mark Gottfried — himself a key contributor on the 1987 SEC championship squad — stood on the sideline.
But the final chapter belonged to @AntoinePettway.
After Florida’s James White missed a crucial free throw with 14 seconds left, @mowilliams chased the rebound into the corner, raced across midcourt and found Earnest Shelton. With the clock ticking under five seconds, Shelton drove the lane, drew the defense — and at the last instant spotted Pettway cutting free toward the rim.
The pass was perfect. The timing, impeccable. Pettway softly laid it off the glass — and the net snapped as time stood still. Coleman erupted and the Mark’s Madness section spilled onto the court.
Four days later, the Crimson Tide finished the job at Auburn to lock up the outright regular-season title, then powered its way to the SEC Tournament final. But it was that singular moment — Pettway gliding to the basket — that symbolized the grit and belief of that team.
Twenty-four years later, the image remains timeless. A cut to the rim. A pass in stride. A layup immortalized on a Daniel Moore canvas.

@ClayTravis Also millions of dollars in NIL, coaches contracts, and tv rights, but we cannot afford full time officials? I think this would help reduce time of play and make the game move faster with higher component people, major college football has gotten to big for part time amateurs.
Prayer is not an escape from reality. It is the very place we meet Christ, who Himself was unjustly slain.
We will continue to pray, not because we are passive, but because we know only God can bring true justice, healing, and peace. Evil wants us to stop praying and to despair. We will not. We cling to Christ, who has conquered death.
“The prayer of a righteous person has great power in its effects.” -James 5:16
