According to Barstool Sports, the former Chicago Bears quarterback nuked his Instagram account after his soon-to-be ex-wife Kristin Cavallari posted a photo with her ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Kristin and Stephen were very famous together on “Laguna Beach.” Just to make sure, I checked his page and it’s definitely gone.

thedailycaller--2020-08-07--PATEL: Watch Out For The New Censors — Not A Happy Bunch

Until the Trump era , there was a pretty broad consensus in America around free speech .
If you didn ’ t like something someone said , you could debate them and prove their point was not worthy .
The solution to bad arguments was to use our free speech rights to win an argument .
The notion of censoring political debate does not have deep roots in our system .
The Trump era changed all that .
The left views Trump as an existential threat .
Quaint notions such as free speech are no longer in vogue when compared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him from office .
Running a news company in this environment is , to say the least , challenging .
The newest challenge we are facing at my company , the Daily Caller , is an attack on our fact-check site , CheckYourFact.com .
The Daily Caller has millions of readers , many of whom do not trust the traditional corporate media .
Supplying these readers with reliable , accurate information to counter some of the bogus information on the web is a service we were excited to perform .
Our goal on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth , no matter where it leads .
This means calling out politicians or other influencers when they get things wrong .
We knew going in that addressing these misstatements with a fair , thorough and nonpartisan approach was key to our success .
It ’ s the only way we can develop a trusted relationship with our readers .
And that trusted relationship , the faith people have in your desire and ability to call it straight , is the only real asset of any news organization .

Interestingly , though , our work has been nearly free of controversy .
Nobody wants to debate us about our fact checks .

And , especially during election years , almost all news companies sell advertising to political candidates and committees .
It ’ s important to be very transparent when you do sell political advertising , so the ads we have been attacked for running all say “ a message from our sponsor ” right at the top .

By the logic of the attacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left-wing commentators , any news company that takes a political ad — meaning virtually every news company — is somehow disqualified .
This is , of course , preposterous .
Running properly labeled political advertising has been a staple of the news business for decades .

First , the Trump campaign is one of the advertisers in question .

They want us to tip the scales and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign .
There are two candidates for president .
We are happy to run ads for either one ; we have offered to do so for each and think it ’ s eminently reasonable for each to do so , considering our audience is politically engaged and covers a broad cross section of political America , from liberals to conservatives .
Ironically , if we refused to sell ads to one side , we would be tipping the scales in a partisan direction .
The second goal of the critics is to silence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left , the fact that The Daily Caller is running fact checks is just offensive .
We have no right , in their minds .
In reality , if this group would bother to read the content they hope to censor , they should be celebrating our Check Your Fact operation and thanking us for the work we are doing .
Our site is popular with conservatives and Trump voters .
Yet we regularly publish fact checks that point out misstatements by the president , correct some of the crazier right-wing disinformation on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacks .
With the trust our readers place in us , we are the perfect outlet to correct some of this information that conservatives otherwise may rely upon .
In a rational world , this would be celebrated .
In the real world , the partisans on the left who are coming after us have never even read our work .
They just want to censor us based on their preconceived notions .
It ’ s not going to work .

Ironically, if we refused to sell ads to one side, we would be tipping the scales in a partisan direction.
The second goal of the critics is to silence us altogether. To many on the left, the fact that The Daily Caller is running fact checks is just offensive. We have no right, in their minds. In reality, if this group would bother to read the content they hope to censor, they should be celebrating our Check Your Fact operation and thanking us for the work we are doing. Our site is popular with conservatives and Trump voters. Yet we regularly publish fact checks that point out misstatements by the president, correct some of the crazier right-wing disinformation on the web and defend Democrats from unfair attacks. With the trust our readers place in us, we are the perfect outlet to correct some of this information that conservatives otherwise may rely upon. In a rational world, this would be celebrated. In the real world, the partisans on the left who are coming after us have never even read our work. They just want to censor us based on their preconceived notions. It’s not going to work.

thedailycaller--2020-08-07--Here’s What North Carolina Is Doing To Provide Results On Election Night

North Carolina will be able to deliver the results of the general election on election night despite concerns that mail-in ballots would delay results in states across the country , a spokesman for the state ’ s Board of Elections told the Daily Caller News Foundation .
Pat Gannon , the Board ’ s director , said that North Carolina had taken extraordinary steps , including new machines and a statewide campaign to hire poll workers , to ensure that results were not only reported accurately , but in a timely manner as well .
“ All in-person early voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all by-mail ballots that arrive by Election Day ” will be “ counted and reported to the public on election night , ” Gannon said in an email to the DCNF .
Assisting poll workers across North Carolina are “ more than a dozen high-speed tabulators ” that the state recently purchased , Gannon said , which , in addition to some that the state already owns , will be deployed across different counties to quickly and accurately tally the influx of absentee ballots .
Additionally , the state launched its “ Democracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workers both for Election Day and for early voting sites , Gannon said .
With just under three months until Nov. 3 , the program has already recruited over 3,600 workers statewide , Gannon told the DCNF .
Gannon ’ s assurances are especially notable given the delays that some states have experienced due to the influxes of mail-in ballots and understaffed polling places .
In Kentucky , the Democratic senatorial primary was not called until a week after the election , and in New York , two Democratic congressional primaries have yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election was over six weeks ago .
Though the steps Gannon described are promising , he told the DCNF that not every single vote would be tallied by Election Day , and that since North Carolina is one of the most competitive states this cycle , the winner of the state may not be announced on Nov. 3 as well .
“ In North Carolina , state law allows by-mail ballots to count as long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day and received by 5 p.m. three days after Election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While that is not new this year , we do expect more ballots than usual will be counted during the canvass process after election night.
” Polls have shown not only a neck-and-neck presidential race between President Donald Trump and likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden , but a close senatorial contest between Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and Democratic nominee Cal Cunningham as well .
If either of the races remain too close for outlets to call on election night , then their respective winners may not be known until Nov. 6 , Gannon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no different than usual , ” he told the DCNF .
“ The difference is that we expect more absentee ballots than normal to arrive after Election Day and still get counted.
