SUMMARY: President Donald Trump called slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom at a memorial in Glendale, Arizona, attended by tens of thousands including Vice President JD Vance. Kirk, founder of Turning Point and a key figure in mobilizing young Christian conservatives, was fatally shot at a Utah college on September 10. Speakers emphasized faith, family values, and doubling down on conservative goals to honor Kirk’s legacy. Kirk’s widow forgave the suspect. The shooting sparked a fierce debate on political violence, free speech, and has led to backlash against critics of Kirk within the Trump administration’s sphere.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s only major-league affiliated team, the Biloxi Shuckers, was eliminated from the 2025 Southern League playoffs after a 4-2 loss to the Montgomery Biscuits in game two of the Division Series. This marks the second consecutive year Montgomery has ousted Biloxi. The Shuckers finished the season 74-64, winning the South Division first-half title. Manager Joe Ayrault, who battled and beat stage 3 colon cancer during the season, praised the team’s effort. Despite an early lead from Jesus Made’s homer and Blake Burke’s RBI single, Montgomery rallied in the eighth inning to win. Biloxi’s next season starts April 3, 2026.

SUMMARY: The NCAA has approved eliminating the spring transfer period for FBS and FCS college football players, following a recommendation to modify the recruiting calendar. The new system introduces a single 10-day transfer portal window from January 2-11 for undergraduate and postgraduate players, replacing the current 20-day December window and 10-day April window. Coaches can still enter the portal within 30 days if their coach leaves or is fired. Players in postseason games after January 7 have a five-day transfer window post-final game. The rule aims to reduce leverage use for NIL deals and takes effect in the upcoming cycle, despite some coaching concerns.
