At the age of 45, seven time grand slam winner Venus Williams broke the Australian Open record as the oldest-ever women’s player in the tournament’s history. Williams first competed in the Australian Open when she was 17, three years before her opponent, 24-year-old Olga Danilovic was born.  Even though Williams ultimately lost the match, she walked off the court to a standing ovation with a big smile and wave, saying she was really proud of her effort because she’s playing better with each match.

Oh the irony of this headline on Martin Luther King Jr Day.  The Pentagon has reportedly readied 1500 cold weather special troops to deploy to the streets of Minneapolis to assist the already 3 thousand immigration officers on the ground.  Meantime, Governor Tim Walz has said he has the Minnesota National Guard on standby to also go in and protect the streets, potentially setting up a disturbing scenario of federal troops and state troops with very different agendas.
