The Texans are adding some free agent help at wide receiver. Justin Watson has agreed to terms with Houston, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Watson was a 2018 fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers and played four seasons in Tampa Bay before playing the last three seasons in Kansas City. Watson won a Super Bowl ring while catching passes from Tom Brady and two rings while catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. Now he’ll catch passes from C.J. Stroud.

Joe Biden lost this election. It wasn’t easy to make a winner of a corrupt, incoherent coup plotter, but the president beat the odds. His decisions enabled his predecessor to overcome tons of baggage and historic unpopularity. Now a man who took pride in sparing the country a second helping of President Trump will be remembered for merely postponing it.

Florida voters rejected a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana, dealing a blow to the cannabis industry and a giving a bigwin to the leading opponents: Governor Ron DeSantis and the billionaire financier of his anti-weed campaign, Ken Griffin. The measure, known as Amendment 3, got 55.9%support —or almost 6 millionvotes— with 44.1% opposed with 99% of the vote counted, according the Associated Press. But that failed to clear the 60% threshold for approval required by Florida law.

After 55 years at The Age, Michael Leunig filed his final cartoon for the newspaper last week after he was fired by Nine in what he described as “a throat-cutting exercise”. The popular cartoonist has been declared an Australian Living Treasure, but has also drawn ire over the decades for various controversies including his critique of working mothers who use childcare and taking an anti-vaccination stance.

“Are you better off than you were four years ago?”• Ronald ReaganIt is no secret that President Biden is unpopular. In the 2023 Kansas Speaks poll, a whopping 62.8% of respondents were dissatisfied with Biden’s performance, versus 32.9% who were dissatisfied with fellow Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly. Widespread approval of Biden’s withdrawal is one of the few issues these days that bring Democrats, Republicans and independents together.

A month ago, I editorialized about the recent defeat of a proposed sales tax extension for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals stadiums in Jackson County, Missouri. Led by a group called KC Tenants, the “no” vote secured a 58% majority. Their message was why subsidize venues for billionaire-owned, for-profit sports teams when Kansas Citians cannot find affordable housing? The message resonates on both sides of the state line. However, it did not resonate with the Kansas Legislature.
