The event was halted after 72 of 78 laps, with driver Milt Marion winning the $1,700 prize. Mr. T soaked up an outsized portion of 1980s pop culture with his signature catchphrase "I pity the fool!"

Russia has been sharing intelligence with Iran about the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East in an attempt to help Tehran fight back against “Operation Epic Fury." The intelligence assistance from Russia could help Iran locate American warships, radar, or other communication systems, but there is no indication that Moscow is helping direct Iranian missiles or drone strikes. Meanwhile, Ukrainian military personnel are expected to arrive in the Persian Gulf soon to help countries there fend off Iranian drone attacks. President Trump issued a warning to Iran on Saturday. In a social media post, he wrote, “Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time.” | White House Event Addresses NCAA Sports Issues President Trump hosted a college sports roundtable on Friday to consider solutions to key challenges, including name, image, and likeness (NIL) issues. Many of the attendees agreed that the industry needs to be saved from the spiraling costs associated with the onset of NIL payments. A bill called the SCORE Act, which has struggled to pass the House, could be the base of any change. House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested there are now enough votes to pass it. Former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer said part of the solution is to "get rid of the collectives." He told the nearly 50 panelists, "Donors put money in a pot. It's distributed to the players through coaches and managers. That's not allowed. Not supposed to do that. That's pay-for-play.” The summit included NCAA President Charlie Baker, each of the Power Four commissioners, university presidents, and many power brokers from college and professional sports. | Apple Remains Top Brand Apple remains the world’s most valuable brand in the 2026 Brand Finance Global 500 with the top five spots—Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and NVIDIA—all held by American tech companies. Apple's brand is valued at $607.6 billion, while Microsoft hit $565.2 billion, crossing the $550 billion threshold for the first time. NVIDIA was the breakout performer, more than doubling its brand value with 110% growth thanks to surging demand for AI infrastructure. The total value of the world's 500 most valuable brands reached $10.4 trillion, an 11% increase over 2025, with the U.S. accounting for 192 brands and 53.4% of the ranking's total value.

With his mohawk, stacks of gold chains, and gravelly warning that he “pitied the fool,” he became one of the most unmistakable faces of 1980s pop culture. For a few years, he was everywhere: movies, television, toys, cartoons, and wrestling rings. Then, almost as quickly as he arrived, the spotlight moved on. Behind the persona was Laurence Tureaud, born in 1952 and raised on Chicago’s South Side as the second to youngest of 12 children. After high school, he joined the U.S. Army as a military policeman, and when he returned to civilian life, his imposing presence helped him find work as a nightclub bouncer and bodyguard for celebrities. His big break came almost by accident. Sylvester Stallone spotted him in a television segment featuring tough nightclub bouncers and cast him as the villain Clubber Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III. The role turned Mr. T into a sensation and led to his signature part as Sgt. B.A. Baracus on NBC’s hit series The A-Team from 1983 to 1987 (see the opening credits here). At the show’s peak, Mr. T was less an actor than a phenomenon. However, when The A-Team ended, his star cooled. Television pilots and film roles never recreated the magic of his early fame. A bigger change came in 1995 when Mr. T was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. During treatment, he spoke openly about faith and humility. He famously gave up wearing most of his gold chains, saying the illness reminded him that life required gratitude more than flash. “I used to say: ‘I believe in God,’ but after cancer, I started saying: ‘I depend on God,’” he said.
Now in his seventies, Mr. T lives quietly in California, occasionally appearing in public and sharing messages about faith, perseverance, and helping others. Here are some of his current photos.

It was clear to me after that conversation that the secretary’s time at the department was limited. To be blunt, she was dead as fried chicken.” — Sen. John Kennedy, after President Trump denied approving a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign by ousted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. | | | |
