CHICAGO (CBS) — Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law that says domestic abusers with protection orders are banned from owning guns. But there are still problems domestic violence survivors face trying to get guns out of the hands of abusers, as in the case of one Chicago mother who was killed earlier this year after her abuser was allowed to keep his guns.Our current moment can be a dangerous one for victims, as court sources say the law is unclear as to whether judges have the authority to take away guns at this point, during the Emergency...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Guard Jeremiah Fears, among the top players in the 2025 recruiting class, announced on social media he is decommitting from Illinois and reopening his recruitment.
Fears is a 6’3 four-star guard who comes in at No. 32 in 247Sports composite class rankings. Initially from Joliet, IL, Fears is playing at Compass Prep High School in Arizona, and told reporters back in May he was still undecided about staying in the 2025 class or attempting to reclassify to start college in 2024.
The Illini have an open scholarship but a crowded guard rotation that includes Ty Rodgers, Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Arizona transfer Kylan Boswell. If Fears is wanting to play big minutes right away in the 2024-25 season, reopening his recruitment is a logical decision.
Fears chose Illinois out of a top five that included Kansas, Ole Miss, Providence, and Michigan, although the 6’3 guard indicated his recruitment at this time is wide open.
It is also worth pointing out that Fears’ older brother, Jeremy, plays for Tom Izzo and Michigan State.
