    It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Yosemite National Park Superintendent, Mike Muldoon. After a dedicated career of over 30 years with the National Park Service, Muldoon has decided to step down from his role as superintendent of one of the country’s most beloved and iconic national parks.

    Muldoon’s tenure as superintendent of Yosemite has been marked by numerous accomplishments and challenges. From overseeing the park’s response to natural disasters and wildfires to leading efforts to preserve and protect its fragile ecosystems, Muldoon has been a tireless advocate for the park and its visitors.

    During his time as superintendent, Muldoon has also worked to enhance visitor experiences, improve park infrastructure, and strengthen partnerships with local communities and stakeholders.

    As Muldoon prepares to retire, the National Park Service will begin the search for his successor. The new superintendent will have big shoes to fill, but we are confident that Muldoon’s legacy will endure for years to come.

    Please join us in congratulating Mike Muldoon on his retirement and thanking him for his dedication and leadership at Yosemite National Park. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

  • FBI acting chief says he’s retiring as Trump’s pick to lead the bureau awaits Senate confirmation


    WASHINGTON – Paul Abbate, who became the FBI’s acting director following the departure of Christopher Wray, is retiring from the bureau, according to an email he sent to senior executives that was obtained by The Associated Press on Monday.

    Abbate had been expected to run the FBI while Senate confirmation proceedings get underway for Kash Patel, who is President Donald Trump’s pick for director. But with Abbate’s retirement effective Monday, when Trump took office, it was not immediately clear who would fill that role.

    “When the Director asked me to stay on past my mandatory date for a brief time, I did so to help ensure continuity and the best transition for the FBI. Now, with new leadership inbound, after nearly four years in the deputy role, I am departing the FBI today,” Abbate wrote.

    Abbate’s abrupt departure after 28 years with the FBI creates additional tumult for a law enforcement agency that had already been preparing for upheaval in the event Patel is confirmed. A Trump loyalist, Patel has repeatedly criticized FBI leadership and decision-making and has alarmed Democrats with statements that suggest he would be willing to use the FBI to exact retribution on Trump adversaries.

    Though Abbate’s email did not identify who might succeed him, and the FBI did not immediately identify anyone, the bureau does have a succession plan, according to a person familiar with the situation who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

    Wray’s final day was Sunday, making Abbate acting director, though he only stayed in the role for a day.

    Abbate held a variety of leadership roles in his nearly three-decade career at the FBI, including head of the bureau’s Detroit and Washington field offices and executive assistant director for the criminal, cyber, response and services branch. He was named deputy director, the No. 2 position responsible for the FBI’s investigative activities, in 2018.

    “As you move forward, continue to stay true to our core values, be there for our partners, and take care of those who serve alongside you. Thank you for your service,” Abbate wrote.

    Wray was named by Trump during his first term and had been director for more than seven years. Wray announced his retirement last month, more than a week after Trump said he wanted Patel to be the director.

    The Acting Chief, who has served in the bureau for decades, cited personal reasons for his retirement and expressed confidence in the President’s nominee to lead the agency. However, his departure has raised questions about the stability and leadership of the FBI during this transition period.

  • Kentucky QB Brock Vandagriff is retiring from football

    Kentucky QB Brock Vandagriff is retiring from football


    After starting 11 of 12 games in his lone season in Lexington, quarterback Brock Vandagriff has retired from playing college football. Jon Hale, through a UK spokesperson, confirmed the news that many had been expecting since the season concluded.

    Vandagriff transferred to Kentucky following three seasons at Georgia, during which time he appeared in 13 games and won two National Championship rings (2021 and 2022).

    He was the Bulldogs No. 2 quarterback in 2023 behind Carson Beck and completed 12 of 18 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions while adding 39 rushing yards on five rushing attempts.
    The former top 40 high school prospect served as UK’s starting quarterback but struggled for much of the year playing behind a woeful offensive line.

    He finished the season completing 57.3 percent of his passes for 1,593 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions while adding 131 yards on the ground.

    His best game as a Wildcat came in Oxford as he led the Wildcats to an upset victory over the then No. 6 ranked Rebels by completing 64.3 percent of his passes for a season-high 243 yards and a touchdown. The win saw him complete a 63-yard pass to Barion Brown on 4th and 7 from UK’s own 20-yard-line in the fourth quarter, which set up a go-ahead touchdown a few plays later.

    Vandagriff was benched twice during his lone season in Lexington.
    Kentucky turned to Gavin Wimsatt for the second half of its Oct. 26 loss to Auburn before turning back to Vandagriff a week later at Tennessee. Then, after struggling through the first half of UK’s Nov. 23 loss at Texas, Vandagriff was replaced by true freshman Cutter Boley. Boley was named the starting quarterback for UK’s season finale against Louisville, while Vandagriff, who battled multiple injuries throughout the season, was inactive. 

    Overall, he posted a 4-7 record as UK’s starter. 

    In addition to Boley, the team signed Incarnate Word quarterback transfer Zach Calzada. Meanwhile, UK’s 2025 high school class includes three-star prospects, Stone Saunders and Brennen Ward.



    It is with a heavy heart that we announce Kentucky quarterback Brock Vandagriff has made the difficult decision to retire from football. Vandagriff, a talented and promising young player, has cited personal reasons for his decision to step away from the game.

    Vandagriff had a bright future ahead of him in football, with his strong arm and impressive athleticism making him a standout on the field. However, sometimes life has other plans, and Vandagriff has chosen to prioritize his well-being and happiness above all else.

    We wish Brock Vandagriff all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions to the Kentucky football program. While his retirement is a loss for the team, we respect his decision and support him in whatever path he chooses to follow next. Thank you, Brock, for all you have given to the game of football.
