Ohio governor John Kasich (R) has been an outspoken critic of President Trump and his voters, so it's perhaps not surprising that he stated Sunday he is "very seriously considering" running for president in 2020.
It's not clear if he plans to primary the president or if he believes he can win on a "centrist" third party, even bipartisan, ticket.

Every year on November 25 we remember Johnny Micheal ("Mike") Spann, the first American killed in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks. It was on that date in 2001 that Spann was killed during a Taliban prisoner uprising at the Qala-i-Jangi fortress.
The "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh was being held and interrogated at the fortress, though it remains unclear what if any direct role he played in Spann's death.

ESPN Loses Another 2M Subscribers in Fiscal 2018
on November 25, 2018
24 Comments
ESPN has been having a tough time figuring out what it wants to be. Having injected leftwing politics and political correctness into its lineup, many sports fans on both sides of the political aisle were disgusted. ESPN's ratings declined and suffered some self-inflicted bleeding over, among other things, the NFL kneeling controversy.
Attempting to stem the bleeding, ESPN brought in a new president and slashed jobs and salaries. But ESPN lost an additional two million subscribers in 2018; this brings their total loss of subscribers to almost 12 million since 2013 and 15 million since 2011.

When news first broke that Nur Barake, a senior Hamas operative responsible for attack tunnel construction, was killed in an Israeli commando operation in Gaza, it was assumed that the operative was the target.
In the ensuing firefight, six more Hamas operatives were killed, as well as an Israeli special forces soldier. That soldier, along with a wounded comrade and others in the raid, were extracted from Gaza in a rescue mission under heavy Israeli air cover.
