Reverend Jesse Jackson Remains Hospitalized in Chicago with Rare Neurological Disorder

CHICAGO (WLS) — Civil rights activist Reverend Jesse Jackson remained hospitalized in Chicago over the weekend, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition confirmed.

Rainbow PUSH held its weekly forum on Saturday, where Congressman Jonathan Jackson thanked supporters for their outpouring of prayers. Also on Saturday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke publicly about Rev. Jackson’s health. The mayor shared that he has been praying for Jackson and recently visited him at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, spending time also speaking with Jackson’s wife.

Rev. Jackson remains hospitalized and is receiving treatment for a rare neurological disorder that affects movement and balance. According to family members, he is currently stable and surrounded by loved ones. They spoke more about his condition on Thursday, following his hospitalization on Wednesday.

Initially believed to have Parkinson’s disease, officials with Rainbow PUSH clarified that Rev. Jackson was diagnosed in April 2025 with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a neurodegenerative disease.

A Legacy of Advocacy and Leadership

The 84-year-old gained national recognition in the 1960s as a protégé of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over more than 60 years, Jackson tirelessly advocated for racial equality and economic justice. He ran for U.S. president in 1984 and 1988.

Jackson helped to found the Chicago-based Rainbow PUSH Coalition, an organization dedicated to social justice, and he led the group for nearly three decades before stepping down in 2023.

His impact has been felt worldwide, and now, many are sending prayers and well-wishes in return for his lifelong dedication to service.

“And just, really, what his service has meant to people,” said Santita Jackson. “It really, in this moment, has lifted everybody. I was talking with my father. I said, ‘You don’t know how many people love you.’ And just, really, what his service has meant to people.”

Rev. Jackson’s family says that doctors are closely monitoring his progress, but a timeline for his release from the hospital remains unclear.

What is Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)?

Dr. Jori Fleisher, a neurologist at Rush University Medical Center, explained that PSP is also known as “Parkinson’s plus,” or an atypical form of Parkinson’s disease. “People have this unusual tendency in PSP to fall backwards,” Dr. Fleisher said. “It’s almost like they are just standing still and kind of pushed backwards.”

Dr. Behzad Elahi, a neurologist at UChicago Medicine who is not directly involved in Rev. Jackson’s care, described PSP as part of the same disease family as Parkinson’s, but rarer and more advanced. It affects chewing, swallowing, and balance.

“Less than 10% of those with parkinsonism or Parkinson’s disease will be diagnosed with PSP,” Dr. Elahi stated. “The family is everything. Currently, we don’t have a cure for the disease. We have some medication that can help with some symptoms, but we currently don’t have any cure.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, progressive supranuclear palsy is a rare brain disease that affects walking, balance, eye movements, and swallowing. PSP is also referred to as Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome.

The cause of PSP remains unknown. The symptoms result from damage to brain cells. Age is the only proven risk factor associated with this disorder.

As Rev. Jackson continues his fight with this challenging condition, his family and supporters remain hopeful and steadfast in their prayers.

‘That locker room is special’: Texas A&M’s HC, players discuss comeback win over Gamecocks

Posted on by
Reply

Texas A&M faced a daunting 27-point deficit entering the second half, but the Aggies came alive to complete a massive comeback victory, securing a 31-30 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks in Bryan-College Station, Texas.

It wasn’t the cleanest performance from sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed, who tossed two interceptions in the first half. However, the Nashville, Tennessee native helped the Aggies surge back into the contest by throwing for 439 yards and three touchdowns. Texas A&M outscored the Gamecocks 28-0 in the second half, marking the program’s 10th consecutive win of the 2025 campaign.

With the outing against South Carolina, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko improved his record to 18-5 in his second season at the helm. Speculation about whether Elko would leave for one of the numerous head-coaching openings was shut down on Saturday, as news broke of his potential contract extension in College Station.

Here is everything Elko, veteran linebacker Taurean York, wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman, and Marcel Reed said following Texas A&M’s thrilling comeback victory over the Gamecocks at Kyle Field on Saturday afternoon:

—

### Mike Elko’s Opening Statement After the Win

“Wow. I don’t really know where else to start. Credit to our guys, credit to how they stuck to it, credit to how they rallied and came together,” Elko said. “I thought they did a really, really good job of staying positive and keep fighting to the next play. For them to come out the second half and do what they did, that’s championship-level football.”

—

### What Did Elko Say to the Team at Halftime?

“Honestly, not much. All we talked about was the identity of who we are, and if we play to it, we are a good football team,” Elko explained. “We are a blue-collar, physical team that controls the line of scrimmage. We weren’t doing any of that in the first half. The kids believed we were going to come out and win in the second half.”

—

### Elko’s Thoughts on the First Half

“We talk about this a lot. If you take your foot off the gas, football will humble you. Clearly, we weren’t in the right headspace. That’s on me. I’m the head coach,” Elko acknowledged.

—

### Elko’s Message to Reed at Halftime

“I told him to relax. He is the quarterback, so the positives and negatives fall on him. We settled him down. Us going tempo in this second half took away some of the thinking and got him loose,” Elko said.

—

### Elko’s Evaluation of Wide Receiver Izaiah Williams

“It’s another story of a kid in this program that is ready when his number is called. He is a talented player,” Elko noted.

—

### Elko’s Message to the 12th Man

“Thank you for staying with us. Sorry for what the first half looked like, but in a lot of ways, they helped us to victory in the second,” Elko remarked. “There aren’t a lot of places where that stadium would look like it did in the second half. It was an impressive showing by the 12th Man once again.”

—

### Elko on the Fight from His Team in the Second Half

“I’m not at a loss for words a lot, but I was at a loss in the locker room after the game. There aren’t a lot of teams that have a culture to just keep going,” Elko said.

—

### Elko’s Thoughts on Reed’s Performance

“That’s what winners do. They control what they are capable of controlling. You have to have confidence in the person around you. It wasn’t lost on him that he wasn’t playing well. He believes in the team. The only thing you can do is make the next throw,” Elko said.

—

### Elko on Falling Behind in the First Half

“It sounds crazy to say this, but there wasn’t a lot of panic. You heard our leaders talking. We made sure we reset the energy the right way. As bad as everything was going, we don’t panic,” Elko stated.

—

### Elko Gives Status Update on Running Back Rueben Owens II

“Not a massive thing,” Elko said.

—

### Elko’s Postgame Thoughts and Perspective

“I don’t even really know what just happened, to be honest. A whole lot of heart and a whole lot of support from a great group of fans,” Elko shared.

—

### Taurean York on the Defensive Performance

“It wasn’t how we drew it up. We found a way to stick together and figure out how to win the game,” York said.

—

### York’s Message to the Team During the Comeback

“Me and Dalton (Brooks) were the first people up the ramp and talked to everyone walking in the second half. Marcel (Reed) was already huddling up the team and talking to them. We came together as one team,” York explained.

—

### York Speaks on the Team’s Mentality in Moments Like That

“That locker room is special. There is no panic, no fear, and no quit. That’s what I love most,” York said.

—

### York on What He Told Reed

“Time to crank it up. All eyes are on you, so let’s give them something positive to talk about. I’m sure they are right now,” York said.

—

### York’s Thoughts on What Changed During the Game

“We were running the same calls in the first and second half. We just played harder and executed better,” York said.

—

### York Comments on the Atmosphere at Kyle Field

“This place is unlike any other. In the fourth quarter, I looked at Daymion and Cashius and said, ‘We are not going to let this stadium down,’” York shared. “These fans deserve a season like this.”

—

### Ashton Bethel-Roman on Williams’ Touchdown

“I almost cried when he scored. I was so happy for him,” Bethel-Roman said.

—

### Bethel-Roman’s Thoughts on the Wide Receiving Corps Stepping Up in the Absence of Mario Craver

“We would’ve loved to have Mario (Craver) out there. He’s a dawg. But in our receiver room, we have dawgs behind dawgs,” Bethel-Roman said.

—

### Bethel-Roman on the Team’s Mentality When Down by 27 Points in the Second Half

“We were down 30-3. There was no heads down, no feeling sorry for ourselves. That brotherhood, I will remember that for the rest of my life,” Bethel-Roman shared.

—

### Bethel-Roman Talks About His 76-Yard Reception

“I wasn’t supposed to run that route, but it didn’t matter because we got the job done,” Bethel-Roman said. “I would call myself a really fast guy. Maybe I was a little tired. The last guy dove, but he missed. The way I stumbled, I messed up my ankle a little bit, but I’ll be fine.”

—

### Marcel Reed Walks Through His Massive Fourth-Down Scramble

“I didn’t know where I was on the field, but I knew I had to get somewhere. Glad I got the first down. We went temp, and it kind of wore them down,” Reed said.

—

### Reed Discusses the Team’s Mindset at Halftime

“I don’t even remember what all was said. The message got across. We knew we were still in the game,” Reed said.

—

### Reed on the Revenge Factor Against the Gamecocks

“We wanted revenge on this team. They put us out of the question last year, and they could have put us in a bad position this year. We got this win, and it was important for us. This team battled,” Reed said. “In college football nowadays, there is not much culture and brotherhood. Us talking and making adjustments without coaches, it says a lot about what we have here at Texas A&M.”

—

### Reed’s Thoughts When the Defense Got the Final Stop

“Relief. I came on the field and took the knee. I looked up to God and just thanked Him. The story was already written,” Reed said.

—

### Reed on Playing for Elko

“Coach Elko has done something a lot of coaches haven’t done. He has changed the program and culture of the team. There is so much love and brotherhood. We are playing for each other, but we are playing for him, too,” Reed said.

—

### What Name Should the Comeback Win Be Referred To As?

“We can just be corny, and say ‘Chills,’” Reed said.

—

### Reed’s Thoughts on His Heisman Case After Week 12

“I don’t even know. Could have went up. Could have went down. It doesn’t matter to me. We are focused on winning games right now,” Reed said.

‘The Long Walk’ Submits Entire Ensemble in Supporting Acting Categories for Oscars and Other Awards (EXCLUSIVE)

Posted on by
Reply

Lionsgate is employing a smart awards strategy in hopes of positioning *The Long Walk* as a dark horse Oscar contender. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the dystopian drama will campaign its entire principal cast of boys—including Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson—in the supporting acting categories across all major awards bodies, Variety has learned exclusively.

Adapted by JT Mollner from Stephen King’s early novel, *The Long Walk* centers on the emotional dynamics among a group of teenage competitors forced to walk continuously until only one remains. The filmmakers believe the film’s power lies not in traditional leads but in the collective experience, a choice they feel is best reflected by submitting the ensemble together.

Although Hoffman’s Raymond Garraty (No. 47) and Jonsson’s Peter McVries (No. 23) may seem to anchor the narrative, all nine boys will be campaigned in supporting categories across the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, BAFTA, and the Independent Spirit Awards. Additionally, Judy Greer, who plays a pivotal adult figure, will be campaigned in the supporting actress races.

Submitting the entire cast together underscores the filmmakers’ confidence in casting director Rich Delia, whose work in assembling a cohesive ensemble of emerging talent is expected to be a focal point of the campaign. The young actors each deliver distinct responses to the story’s brutal marathon, adding depth and variety to the ensemble.

With its ensemble-driven structure and bold category placements, *The Long Walk* joins a growing trend of awards hopefuls challenging traditional definitions of lead and supporting roles.

### Awards Campaign Highlights

Alongside the ensemble campaign, *The Long Walk* will compete in all major craft and above-the-line categories, including:

– **Best Picture**: Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Francis Lawrence, Cameron MacConomy
– **Best Director**: Francis Lawrence
– **Adapted Screenplay**: JT Mollner
– **Supporting Actor**: Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang
– **Supporting Actress**: Judy Greer
– **Best Casting**: Rich Delia
– **Cinematography**: Jo Willems
– **Costume Design**: Heather Neale
– **Film Editing**: Mark Yoshikawa
– **Makeup and Hairstyling**: Doug Morrow, Zinka Tuminski
– **Production Design**: Nicolas Lepage; Set Decoration by Scott Rossell
– **Sound**: Supervising sound editors Jeremy Perison, Thomas Jones; production sound mixer Jeffrey Murias; re-recording mixers Jeremy Perison, Carlos Sanches
– **Original Score**: Jeremiah Fraites

This innovative and ensemble-focused approach may set *The Long Walk* apart in this year’s awards race, spotlighting the collective strength of its cast and crew.

Jack Doherty Arrest Body Cam, Begs Cops to Give His Watch to Pal

Posted on by

**Miami Beach Police Arrest Jack Doherty—Social Media Star More Concerned About His Watch Than Jail Time**

Social media influencer Jack Doherty found himself in hot water on Saturday morning when Miami Beach Police arrested him on multiple charges. But during the arrest, Doherty seemed more preoccupied with protecting his prized watch than his impending trip to jail.

We’ve obtained footage of the incident, which begins with Doherty stopping next to a police car, where officers proceed to search him in the middle of the street. As the encounter unfolds, Doherty’s friends are seen recording the interaction. However, officers quickly direct them to move aside, warning that anyone who refuses to step onto the sidewalk might find themselves in handcuffs just like Doherty. Unsurprisingly, the group opts for the curb.

After placing Doherty in handcuffs, officers conduct a thorough search, pulling several items—what appears to be a pill among them—from his pockets. The situation intensifies when an officer attempts to remove Doherty’s watch. Doherty, clearly anxious, tells the officers they can’t simply unfasten it; instead, the watch needs to slide off his wrist. He pleads for his handcuffs to be removed, wanting to pass the watch to a friend to ensure it doesn’t get damaged during the process.

Despite Doherty’s concerns, the police do not accommodate his request. Ultimately, they secure him in the back of the squad car, his treasured watch still on his wrist.

As reported earlier, Jack Doherty was arrested on charges of possession of amphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kansas State forced five turnovers in a gritty 14-6 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday. All of the Wildcats’ points came off those crucial turnovers, highlighting the importance of capitalizing on opponent mistakes.

Despite averaging 34.2 points in their previous five games, Kansas State was held to just 284 total yards in this contest. Nevertheless, the Wildcats’ defense stepped up when it mattered most.

With this win, Kansas State has now secured three victories in their last four games, demonstrating resilience and strong defensive play throughout the season.

**BitMine Immersion Technologies Appoints Chi Tsang as CEO, Targets 5% of Ethereum Supply**

BitMine Immersion Technologies has announced a significant leadership shift with the appointment of Chi Tsang as Chief Executive Officer, along with three new board directors on November 14. This move comes as the Ethereum-focused firm looks to redefine its strategy in the digital asset industry.

**Leadership Overhaul to Strengthen Ethereum Strategy**

With Chi Tsang taking over from former CEO Jonathan Bates, BitMine is reinforcing its commitment to becoming a major institutional force within the Ethereum finance landscape. The new leadership team is expected to bring fresh insights and strategic direction as BitMine aims to increase its Ethereum holdings.

According to Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, “The new members of the board have been carefully selected to provide a unique blend of experience, insight, and leadership across technology, DeFi, and financial services. This will help BitMine push further on its goal to hold 5% of Ethereum’s supply while bridging the gap between the traditional capital markets and the Ethereum ecosystem.”

**BitMine’s Ambitious Ethereum Holdings Strategy**

BitMine’s bold objective to hold 5% of Ethereum’s supply places the firm alongside the world’s largest institutional treasuries. This strategy underscores a growing trend among public firms to accumulate significant digital assets, signaling increasing institutional interest in Ethereum and broader blockchain technologies.

**Ethereum’s Market Position Under Scrutiny**

Currently, Ethereum is trading at $3,174.65 with a market capitalization of $383.17 billion, accounting for 11.84% of the total cryptocurrency market, according to CoinMarketCap data. In the past 24 hours, Ethereum’s price rose by 0.92%. However, the asset has experienced declines of 6.59% over the past week and 17.62% over the past 30 days.

BitMine’s aggressive accumulation strategy, combined with its new leadership, could have far-reaching implications for both traditional markets and the crypto community’s perception of Ethereum’s institutional adoption. As BitMine presses forward with its goal of holding a substantial share of Ethereum’s supply, the industry will be watching closely.

Solana Holds Key Support Near $128, Signaling Possible Rebound Potential

Posted on by

**Solana’s Price Tests Crucial $128 Support: A Potential Catalyst for a Major 2025 Rebound**

Solana’s price is currently testing a vital support level at $128 — a price point that has historically prevented deeper declines and paved the way for significant recoveries. An intact rising trendline continues to provide a solid foundation, guiding Solana’s upward trajectory during past market pullbacks.

Market indicators reveal growing trader optimism, with projections pointing towards a potential move to the $300-$400 range if this key support holds. These forecasts are based on established chart patterns and on-chain data insights.

—

### What Is the Current Solana Support Level?

The $128 support level represents a pivotal point on Solana’s daily chart, where the cryptocurrency has consistently attracted buying interest. This zone aligns with a multi-year rising trendline originating during the 2020-2021 cycle, which has repeatedly absorbed selling pressure during market corrections.

Maintaining price above this support level is crucial as it preserves the broader bullish structure and sets the stage for renewed upward momentum.

—

### How Does Solana’s Trendline Influence Its Price Outlook?

The rising trendline acting as Solana’s support is a cornerstone of its technical profile. Since 2020, this trendline has connected significant price lows, showing remarkable resilience through various market phases. It has been tested multiple times, with each bounce resulting in substantial gains for Solana.

Analyst James on X highlighted this pattern, stating,
> “OL in all its glory. It is literally on Wall Street. The chart looks like THIS. And you don’t think it goes on a GENERATIONAL run? Not. Bullish. Enough.”

His commentary underscores the long-term optimism surrounding this trendline.

Above this crucial support lies a stubborn resistance zone that has capped rallies for years, creating a clear battleground between bullish and bearish forces. Recent price action shows Solana retreating toward the trendline after rejection at resistance — a scenario that has often triggered strong rebounds.

—

### Market Data and Sentiment Overview

On-chain metrics and trading volumes signal heightened buyer interest near the $128 support level. Open interest in derivatives markets is rising, as traders position themselves for potential upside moves.

If this support level holds, it will reinforce the macro bullish narrative, as previous tests of this zone have aligned with broader market recoveries.

Expert Mansorah Crypto further elaborated on this dynamic, noting:
> “Solana is currently sitting on a strong long-term support zone around $128–$130.”

He highlighted a Head and Shoulders pattern that initiated the latest correction but emphasized this move remains corrective rather than indicative of a trend reversal.
> “As long as SOL holds above the key support level, the overall macro structure remains bullish, and the chart implies potential for a rebound toward the $300–$400 zone.”

Historical performance supports this view; the trendline held firm during both 2022’s downturn and 2023’s volatility, allowing Solana to reclaim higher valuations.

—

### What Traders Are Watching

Volume profiles around $128 show accumulation patterns similar to those seen before previous uptrends. While failure to maintain this support could lead to bearish sentiment, current indicators — including RSI stabilization and positive funding rates in derivatives — suggest underlying strength.

This support level acts not only as a technical floor but also as a reflection of fundamental confidence in Solana’s ecosystem, including its high-throughput blockchain capabilities that continue to attract developers and users.

—

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What Happens if Solana Breaks Below the $128 Support Level?**
A break below $128 could signal a deeper correction, potentially targeting lower zones around $100, based on prior chart structures. Such a breach would invalidate the current bullish trendline and likely increase selling pressure. However, historical data indicates these breakdowns often lead to temporary oversold conditions followed by eventual stabilization.

**Is Solana Poised for a Rebound from Its Current Support?**
Yes. If Solana maintains support near $128, the intact rising trendline and bullish market positioning suggest strong upside potential, possibly toward $300 or higher. Analysts on various social platforms note that similar setups have historically driven significant recoveries, making it a key scenario for investors to monitor.

—

### Key Takeaways

– **$128 Support Is Crucial:** This level, tied to a multi-year rising trendline, has repeatedly fueled recoveries and defines Solana’s long-term bullish bias.
– **Resistance Zones Remain:** Overcoming stubborn overhead resistance could unlock significant gains, with price targets in the $300–$400 range under favorable conditions.
– **Monitor Confirmation Signals:** Traders should watch volume trends and pattern resolutions closely to gauge Solana’s next move, emphasizing disciplined trading around this key threshold.

—

### Conclusion

The $128 support level stands as a testament to Solana’s enduring technical resilience, anchored by a rising trendline that has successfully navigated past market cycles. Analysts maintain a bullish outlook on Solana’s price trajectory, suggesting that holding this zone could catalyze a meaningful rebound and reinforce Solana’s role in the evolving crypto landscape.

Investors are encouraged to stay informed on these developments to make strategic trading decisions in the coming months.

Hemp Provision in Spending Bill Could Kill Legit Industry (regarding rand paul promoting hemp)

**Breitbart | Nov 14, 2025 | Lowell Cauffiel**

The hemp industry is gearing up for a lobbying effort following a provision in the recent government funding package that aims to stop the sale of intoxicating hemp products. However, this measure could inadvertently destroy a legitimate $28 billion industry and eliminate 300,000 American jobs.

The new ban, tucked into the spending bill, prohibits products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. It is primarily aimed at stopping the sale of intoxicating products often found in gas stations and convenience stores.

While the spending bill was still in the Senate, Sen. Rand Paul voiced concerns over this provision.

Jordan Johnson’s pick-6 sends Wagner on its way to 20-14 win over Stonehill

Posted on by
Reply

NEW YORK (AP) — Jordan Johnson’s 30-yard pick-6 opened the scoring, and Wagner led the rest of the way in a 20-14 win over Stonehill on Saturday.

The Seahawks (5-6, 4-2 Northeast Conference) have won four consecutive games for the first time since Wagner’s nine-game winning streak in 2012. Johnson’s first-quarter interception return for a touchdown was Wagner’s first pick-6 since Zachary Ricci went 49 yards for a score against Stonehill earlier in 2023.

Andre Hines extended the Seahawks’ lead to 16-7 late in the third quarter with a 9-yard touchdown run. Nicholas Romero added the second of his two field goals early in the fourth quarter, pushing the lead to 13 points.

Hines was the offensive standout for Wagner, rushing for 139 yards on 26 carries. Overall, Wagner finished with 245 yards of offense—just two yards fewer than the Skyhawks.

Stonehill (3-8, 2-4) narrowed the gap to 20-13 when Joshua Roberson broke free for a 31-yard touchdown run with nine minutes remaining in the game.

Zavion Woodard led the Skyhawks on the ground with 90 yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Jack O’Connell threw for 89 yards, recorded an interception, and scored on a 1-yard rushing touchdown.

Wagner’s defense and balanced offense proved enough to hold off Stonehill for the victory.

Karl Etta Eyong and a new interest from a new Spanish giant!

Barcelona Emerges as the New Spanish Club Interested in Karl Etta Eyong

A sudden and seismic shift in strategy has rocked the foundations of FC Barcelona, throwing their carefully laid plans for the upcoming season into disarray. What the board believed was a sealed deal for their next attacking recruit has spectacularly unraveled, leaving the club scrambling.

According to reports from Fichajes, manager Hansi Flick has delivered a stunning message to the Barcelona directors: he has vetoed the impending signing of Karl Etta Eyong. This decision represents a dramatic U-turn on a pursuit the club had been aggressively advancing for weeks.

The Levante striker, admired by segments of the staff for his physical power, mobility, and perceived potential as a medium-term project, was seemingly on the cusp of a move to Catalonia. However, the impending departure of Robert Lewandowski has fundamentally altered the calculus.

Flick has drawn a line in the sand, insisting that the void left by a world-class striker cannot be filled by a developmental prospect. This bold intervention from the former Bayern Munich boss has now redirected the entire club’s focus.

The sporting department, led by Deco, is under immense pressure to pivot from a future-oriented plan to an immediate, high-stakes search. Where Etta Eyong symbolized a patient build, Flick has demanded a proven, ready-made center-forward—a player capable of not just competing, but shouldering the immense weight of leading Barcelona’s attack from day one.
