LOS ANGELES, CAIn a shocking monologue this past weekend, comedian and political commentator Bill Mahersaid it's time to finally start talking about whether or notthe 2020 election was rigged.

"Good evening fellow patriots, it's time to talk about the stolen election," said the wild-eyed host, who was wearing a MAGA hat and was surrounded by stockpiles of ammunition and emergency food. "I've been doing some research and my eyes have been opened. I think the Deep State may have orchestrated a coup against Donald Trump! And have you really listened to this Ron Paul guy? He really makes a ton of sense! And do you know what else? I'm starting to think gun control will do nothing to reduce gun crime! And by the way, have you seen how the government is spending our money? And have you seen the crap they're teaching in schools? THEY'RE GROOMING KIDS! WE'RE BEING RULED BY A CABAL OF PEDOPHILES! AHHHHHHH!"

According to sources, the crowd sat in stunned silence for a few seconds before someone in the back started a slow clap that spread throughout the audience until everyone was on their feet chanting "BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!"

Maher says he still identifies as a Liberal andis glad to have finally found the true home of liberal values: conservatism.

The host is reportedly changing the name of his show to Bill's Patriot Hour, where he will rant aboutprogressive insanity, cancel culture, and whether or not Q will finally do what he promised and reinstate President Trump.

You can support Bill's new show by purchasing a high-quality MyPillow using code "BILLMAHER."

In the social justice system, words are considered violence. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious attacks are members of an elite squad known as the Microaggression Victims Unit. These are their stories.

HaNEUL JEONG-McDONELL

St. Paul Highland Park badminton

Jeong-McDonell learns quickly from her losses.

The Scots senior defeated St. Paul Washington's Cinderella New 21-12, 21-14 to win the singles championship in the badminton state tournament at Edina High School. She was the runner-up in the state tournament in 2021.

"I was overwhelmed and excited," Jeong-McDonell said. "You can learn from your losses. I just kept plugging away."

Jeong-McDonell lost to New the previous week, 10-21, 21-16, 21-16, in the singles final in the St. Paul City Conference championships.

"I knew I could face her again in the state tournament," Jeong-McDonell said. "I worked hard on receiving her high serves. That helped me in the state tournament."

Jeong-McDonell was seeded second behind New entering the event. The previous year she was more of an unknown.

"I wasn't expected to place last year. I surprised myself," Jeong-McDonell said. "This year was a lot of fun."

Northfield lacrosse

The three-year captain is a big reason the Raiders are 9-2 this season. Northfield's leading scorer, he has 42 goals, three more than he scored a year ago, and 20 assists. He has five games of at least five goals. "Spencer is a natural goal scorer who can also be a two-way contributor," Raiders coach Jeff Wright said.

White Bear Lake softball

Barber is 13-2 as a pitcher with a 1.11 ERA while striking out 190 in 101 innings. At the plate, the junior is hitting .446 with 12 home runs and 36 RBI. "Chloe's talent, potential and knowledge of the game make her a special player," Bears coach Kaity Wightman said.

Edina golf

The senior is one of the reasons Edina is ranked No. 1 in the state by the Minnesota Golf Association. Nasby, ranked No. 34 among individuals, shot a 7-under-par 64 in a Lake Conference meet at Wild Marsh Golf Club in Buffalo. "A 64 is a crazy low number for a high school golfer to shoot, and he made it look easy," Edina coach Mike McCollow said.

Bloomington Kennedy lacrosse

The senior has 73 goals on the season, which includes five games of eight or more. She has three 10-goal games in the past two years, helping turn the Eagles program into a winner.

Farmington baseball

The senior first baseman homered in three consecutive games as the Tigers (17-2) extended their winning streak to 15 games. "He continuously finds ways to reach base and help us produce runs," Farmington coach Jon Graff said.

Belle Plaine softball

The sophomore catcher is hitting .559 with 23 runs scored and 37 RBI. She has belted seven of her 13 home runs in May. "Cam works very hard to get better every year," Tigers coach Brent Jaeger said. "She is one of those players every coach would love to have."

Athletes of the Week: Losing helps badminton champ HaNeul Jeong-McDonell gain ground - Star Tribune

Cheadle thirds batsman Jake Mills broke the individual NSSCL Division Seven batting record in his sides victory at Rode Park & Lawton seconds at the weekend.

The previous record was Nigel Sargeants 177 for Oakamoor against Bagnall in 2011 - when it was known as Division Three B - but Mills raced past that landmark.

Mills struck an unbeaten 202 to dominate Cheadles 284-2 from their 40 overs on the road.

Mills faced 149 balls in his innings, hitting 29 fours and three sixes in his record-breaking knock - not the first time he has set a landmark in the league.

He actually holds the overall league highest score record after scoring 262 not out for Cheadle in a 2017 Division Five win against Meakins. That surpassed the 242 scored by James McCarthy for Porthill Park in 2004.

On Saturday, Sam Cliffe (34) and Joe Degg (27) lent support at the other end as Cheadle virtually had the game wrapped up by the halfway stage.

Rode Park & Lawton didnt disgrace themselves in reply as they managed a highly-respectable 168-6 from their allocation.

Thomas Atkinson scored an unbeaten 50, featuring 10 fours, with Cosmos Cupid (33) and Gary Jennison (25) also spending decent time at the crease.

Sam Akram took a couple of wickets for Cheadle as they eased to victory.

Audley thirds had few concerns in beating Wood Lane seconds.

Visitors Audley posted 246-7 on their visit to Megacre, in which Charles Birkin made 46 and Andrew Forster chipped in with 40.

Levi Smith and Andrew Norcup both grabbed a couple of wickets for Wood Lane.

In reply, Matthew Hagan (31), Deane Jervis (27) and Smith (25) shone, but Wood Lane were bundled out for 138.

Thomas Boundy did the damage with 4-26, with Huey Nield capturing 3-13.

Onneley were in good form to win at home against Sandbach seconds.

Set 136 for victory, Onneley seconds had Geoff Hall (32no) and Michael Knowles (31no) to thank primarily for their six-wicket triumph.

But Kyle Knowles (29) and Ash Hall (26) also played their part, despite Paul Jacksons two wickets.

Sandbach had stuck 135-9 on the board earlier on in the afternoon, with Jackson top-scoring with 30.

Evergreen batsman Richard Bowyer also starred with 22 at the top of the oder.

Bradley Hall, Kyle Knowles and Ash Hall shared six of the wickets to fall in the Sandbach innings.

Porthill Park fourths had a productive away-day as they netted the 18 points on offer at Kidsgrove.

Calum Biltons unbeaten 40 was backed up by Chris Tattons 33 and 31 from Harry Stubbs as Porthill Park made fine progress to 184-7. Kane Lowton and Thomas Plant snared a couple of victims apiece.

Chris Highfield (31), James Green (28) and Plant (21) fronted the Grove response, but they were limited to 144-8 at the close.

That was thanks to double strikes from Alex Lockett and Bilton.

Woore seconds won on their visit to Checkley thirds.

Andrew Burton hit 10 fours and one six in his 73 to form the cornerstone of Woores 192-9.

Michael Griffiths weighed in with 34, while Jack Farrington claimed 3-35 for Checkley.

Farrington (32) showcased his all-round ability after tea, with Andrew Eccles chipping in with 25.

But Jake Toppings 3-25, plus a couple of wickets from Lauren Kenvyn, ensured Checkley drew stumps on 120-8.

Audlem cruised to victory in their home meeting with Endon seconds.

Half-centuries from Andy Rothwell and Dave Parkinson were instrumental in Audlems 208-7 from their 40 overs.

Rothwell made 60 and Parkinson added 56, with Callum McIlveen adding late momentum with an unbeaten 38.

Liam Clows 20 was the main contribution in reply, but double strikes from McIlveen, Simon Swift and Ron Paul, saw Endon dismissed for 122.
