The Chicago Sky traded Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream after she threw her Sky teammates under the bus last year.

According to reports, the Dream got Reese and a second-round draft pick in 2028. The Sky will get the Dream’s first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028.

That’s a lot of assets to give up for an uncoordinated basketball player who is known for stat padding.

Reese gets a lot of media attention, but she’s not an efficient scorer, shooting just 45.8% from the field and 18.2% from 3-point range.

She also allegedly fakes injuries when her team is losing.

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Reese said, “I’m not settling for the same sh*t we did this year. We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me.”

She also disparaged WNBA veteran Courtney Vandersloot, saying the 37-year-old is too old to make an impact.

Reese apologized to her Sky teammates, but the damage was already done.

Sandra Rose loyal reader SteelWarriorOne wrote in a comment:

“Could it be that Angel Reese is so delusional that she doesn’t realize she created all of the negativity around her and she genuinely believes people are hating on her??? That’s a special kind of delusional thinking and if that’s the case she should be studied by a team of doctors, seriously.”

Reese made headlines last month when she was booked to host the Barbie Dream Fest Experience in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. But only a few dozen people attended. Mattel offered refunds to disappointed attendees.

“This was the most lackluster event. We flew from [Alabama] to come to this and were so disappointed,” Meghan Vargas commented on Instagram.

YouTuber-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul (left) says he’s planning a blackface skit in response to Internet comedian Druski’s skit about conservative white women (right).

Jake made the comments on a recent episode of “This past weekend with Theo Von” podcast. The entertainment boxer said he will appear in blackface since Druski wore whiteface in his skit.

Jake says he’s contacting makeup artists to film a response to Druski’s viral skit, which people believe is about Charlie Kirk’s grieving widow Erika Kirk.

“I f***ing love it. This is how humans should be,” Jake said, referencing Druski’s skit. “I don’t see in color, I see in truth and comedy.”

Jake said he’s calling makeup artists to “do a response to this [Druski skit] and like go and do like the full on.”

“Darker?” Von asked. “Yeah,” Jake responded, “and do it and just do it back, because why not? Are we on the same playing field?”

Jake then rejected Theo’s suggestion that he should partner with a Black person, such as NBA legend Charles Barkley, to give his skit more Black credibility.

“There needs to be some Black support for the [blackface] character,” said Theo.

But Jake rejected the idea. “That’s pu$$ying out,” he said before adding, “Doesn’t that make us more prejudiced… if we have to partner with someone?”

Yo Gotti’s lawyer Arthur Horne III, (NeNe Leakes’ rumored boyfriend) is representing Rodney Wright Jr, aka Big30, in Pooh Shiesty’s armed robbery case.

The Memphis drill rapper is among 9 people charged in the high-profile armed robbery and kidnapping case involving rapper Gucci Mane.

The feds arrested Shiesty (right) and his father Lontrell Williams Sr (left), along with six others, including Big30, on Wednesday.

A ninth suspect, Terrence Rodgers, remains at large.

Shiesty was on federal home confinement in Dallas at the time of his arrest.

In a livestream video on Friday, attorney Arthur Horne III asked people not to pass judgment on Big30 until all the facts come out.

“He doesn’t have a criminal history. He doesn’t have a criminal record,” Horne said of his client. He’s been making music for a number of years. He and Pooh Shiesty kind of came up in the music game together and they were sort of like – they’re very close and they made, you know, some magical music.”

He added, “I just hope that people will wait to pass judgment on Rodney and these other individuals until all the facts come out.”

In February, TMZ obtained video of NeNe Leakes locking lips with Arthur at a Memphis Grizzlies game in Tennessee.

NeNe later denied dating Arthur. She claimed the kiss was nothing more than a “peck” on the cheek during a boozy night out.

She suggested the video clip was misinterpreted by bloggers for clicks and views.

According to the Department of Justice, Shiesty and Big30 robbed Gucci Mane and 2 others at gunpoint outside a Dallas recording studio on Jan. 10, 2026.

The defendants allegedly barricaded a studio door to prevent the victims from escaping. The victims were robbed of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, Gucci Mane’s wedding ring and other valuables. One victim was choked to the point of near unconsciousness.

Deputies had him perform a field sobriety test, which he passed with flying colors.

At one point, Woods walked away from the cruiser, forcing deputies to ask him to return.

While Woods walked back, he was on his phone and he can be heard saying, “Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye.”

A deputy then asked Woods to remain close by – to which Woods replied: “Yeah, I was just talking with the President.”

Trump commented on the March 27 accident involving his close friend, Tiger.

“I feel so bad. He’s got some difficulty — there was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump said at the time. “A very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don’t want to talk about it.”

Woods is engaged to Trump’s former daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump, who was married to Donald Trump Jr. Vanessa Trump and Don Jr. share five children.

On Thursday, Vanessa professed her love for Tiger Woods.

A Fort Myers, Florida man is in police custody after surveillance video shows him fatally beating a gas station clerk with a hammer.

The incident happened around 8 a.m. Thursday, April 2, at D&D Convenience Store in the Chevron gas station at 3500 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard.

Surveillance video shows Rolbert Joachin, 40, wielding a hammer while smashing the windscreen, hood and headlights of a dark SUV in the parking lot outside the store.

When the clerk walked outside, Joachin quickly approached her and began attacking her with the hammer. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A customer found the clerk unresponsive on the ground.

“I came around the corner, and I seen the guy walking off, and then I seen her laying there. I thought she was sleeping, but I looked and seen all the blood. And then I said, Well, damn, this is murder,” Frederck Ashley said.

Police tracked Joachin down and tackled him to the ground near Dunbar Park, about a mile away from the D&D Convenience Store.

Joachin is now in custody at the Lee County Jail without bond.

The manager of D&D Convenience Store said the victim worked there but he didn’t identify her.

Graphic video of the incident is circulating online.

D&D Convenience Store customer Andre Harris said he hopes her family doesn’t see the video.

“Terrible! I don’t even know how such a thing could be floating around and this woman has family out there so it’s not good that it’s floating around,” Harris said.

President Trump Fires Attorney General Pam Bondi

President Donald Trump is accused of running a “misogynistic administration” after he fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday.

Bondi reportedly “begged” Trump not to fire her in a closed-door meeting at the White House on April 1.

An insider said Bondi “was unhappy” after hearing Trump was considering firing her and she “tried to change his mind.”

“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social app.

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”

Bondi was terminated less than a month after Kristi Noem was let go as secretary of homeland security. Noem was “reassigned” to another border security position within the Trump administration.

Critics say Trump’s cabinet is already dominated by white men.

According to reports, Bondi was let go due to Trump’s frustration that she didn’t bring him enough “scalps” on a silver platter.

Insiders say her biggest failure was her inability to file criminal charges against Trump’s enemies.

The president allegedly handed Bondi a list of his enemies, including Letitia James, attorney general of New York, but Bondi was unable to secure convictions.

Critics say Trump fired Bondi and Noem, despite very public mishaps by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (pictured) and Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.

Markwayne Mullin replaced Noem at homeland security while Todd Blanche took over as U.S. attorney general.

“I see a theme,” Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett tweeted on Thursday. “He will throw the incompetent women under the bus a lot faster than the incompetent men.”

Surveillance video shows golf icon Tiger Woods nodding off in the back seat of a police cruiser following his DUI arrest on March 27.

The video footage, time stamped 1:37 p.m., shows Woods fighting sleep and hiccuping in the patrol car on his way to jail.

Woods, 50, appears drowsy and he struggles to stay awake.

Deputies found 2 hydrocodone pills in his pocket after he flipped his Land Rover in a 2-car accident on a residential street in Jupiter Island, Florida.

Woods blew a 0.00 on a Breathalyzer test at the scene but police said he did “exemplify signs of impairment”.

He refused a urinalysis test at the police station.

“He was lethargic on scene, but that was, we believe, because of what he was intoxicated on,” said Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek. The sheriff clarified that Woods was “not impaired by alcohol but rather some type of medication or drug.”

A judge approved Woods’ request to fly out of the country for private drug addiction treatment.

In a statement posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday, Woods wrote:

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”

Woods’ statement is similar to the statement he made following a DUI arrest in 2017 (pictured below).

“I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Woods said in 2017. “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications affected me so strongly… I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.”
