In another High Noon showdown, two more ESPN lefties bit the "bullet." Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre and their left-wing shtick will get till the end of March, and then their High Noon program will be designated for the television version of Boot Hill. Low and declining rating are listed as the cause of High Noon's impending death, according to ESPN. Highly unpopular, High Noon lasted less than two years. It was drawing little more than 300,000 viewers a day for quarter one, down from last year, USA Today's Scott Gleeson reports. That's why ESPN pulled the plug and designated...

Amazon has opened its first-ever full-size, "cashierless" grocery store, providing shoppers an experience that does not require any human interaction. The project, called Amazon Go Grocery, has been in development for five years. Starting Tuesday, customers can scan a QR code from Amazon's mobile app, walk into the Seattle store, take any item they want to purchase and walk out without paying at a cashier station. Amazon said it is employing technology that senses when a product is taken from or returned to a shelf and keeps track of items in a virtual cart. When a customer leaves, they are...

Japan is to ask all schools to close from Monday to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, PM Shinzo Abe says. The closure - thought to affect 13 million students - will continue until the school year ends in late March. World Health Organization head Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said the global outbreak had now reached a "decisive point" and had "pandemic potential". For the second day running, more cases have been reported outside than inside China. Dr Tedros urged governments to act swiftly and aggressively to contain the virus. "This is not a time for fear. This is a time...

On Sunday's What's Eating America?, hosted by celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern, the second episode of the new food-focused MSNBC series engaged in scaremongering with predictions about the food industry being hurt by climate change, and indicted "deniers" for not believing climate change is caused by human activity. The show used several sources who are liberal activists critical of conservatives who are skeptical of climate alarmist views, with one even calling it "criminal" for skeptics to dispute the claims of alarmists. The new MSNBC host teased the show holding a plate of food he had prepared containing Alaskan salmon, summer sweet...

Plain ignorance is the most charitable explanation for the misleading defense of communist Cuba offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on CBS News‘ “60 Minutes.” While saying he was opposed to Cuba’s “authoritarian nature,” Sanders insisted that “it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing?” Sanders correctly stated that education became universal in Castro’s Cuba, but he ignored the deeply Orwellian nature of the educational system. Literacy was not sought by the Cuban regime just for...

Most of the criminal allegations for the many recent scandals have taken place over three years ago. The past couple of years we have endured bombshell after bombshell, as a segment of the media reports what their inside sources and investigations have revealed. We are told that Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, etc. have broken no laws, even though investigators and common sense indicate otherwise. On the other hand, Manifort, Stone, General Flynn have already been prosecuted and Stone and Manifort, convicted and incarcerated. We are constantly told that any minute now justice will be served. We are also...

Forgive this vanity which is my first. But this needs to be shouted from the rooftops: Chuck, Nancy and the rest of the democrats could have cared the less about Coronavirus while impeachment was going on!! NOT ONE BIT In short, while the President was busy trying to keep this out of the country, the democrats were busy trying to kick Trump out of office.

South Philadelphia residents are outraged after a federal judge cleared the way for a safe injection site in the city. The planned site is not where it was originally proposed and some of the neighbors from the new location are not happy. Councilman Mark Squilla says the site will be at Constitution Health Plaza, near Broad and McKean Streets, in South Philadelphia. During Wednesday’s contentious press conference, promised facts about the forthcoming opening of the city’s first injection site were overshadowed by a lot of back and forth between angry community members and the heads of nonprofit agency Safehouse, which...

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed red flag legislation into law on Tuesday, and told sheriffs who oppose the law that they should resign if they won’t enforce any gun seizure orders. The vast majority of the state’s sheriffs spoke out in opposition to the legislation before it was narrowly approved by the state legislature, and the head of the state sheriffs association rejected Grisham’s call to resign after her remarks during the signing ceremony. New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association President Tony Mace of Cibola County said the new law goes too far by potentially impounding guns before any crime is committed...

This is a question to all Trump supporters and conservatives. We are in the fight for our lives, the socialists and ‘Bernie Bros’ want the rest of us disarmed for their ‘revolution’. Those of us on the right need to band together in stopping the assault. The purpose here is to compile a list of the “Better” 2nd amendment freedom groups such a GOA or VCDL. Part of the problem is that some groups are posers and Ne’er-do-wells The gun feed recently did this: Help us compile a list of state gun rights organizations… http://thegunfeed.com/state-gun-rights-organizations/ The more information the better...

Strategists at Goldman Sachs just reminded investors why they are dumping stocks hand over fist right now. The coronavirus may wipe out corporate growth in 2020, perhaps completely. Goldman Sachs said Thursday in a note U.S. companies will generate no earnings growth in 2020. Underlying the call is Goldman’s view that the coronavirus is expected to spread around the globe and severely harm economic activity. For 2020, Goldman slashed its S&P 500 earnings estimate by $9 and expects no earnings growth. Looking out into 2021, Goldman now sees $8 less in S&P 500 earnings and a modest 6% growth rate....

In the February 6 celebration of his acquittal, President Trump explained that, “right at the beginning, they [his advisors] said, ‘don’t worry sir; all of the facts are on your side.’” But the president told them, “you don’t understand. That doesn’t matter.” He added, “they made up facts.” Rep. Adam Schiff who led the inquisition indeed made up the facts. He had honed his deceitful tactics as a Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor. Other political targets of DOJ corrupt prosecutions completely identify with Trump’s retort to his advisors. My husband, former Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX) certainly does. He lost count...

BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, said Wednesday that new evidence shows the couple is innocent of charges that they bribed their daughters' way into the University of Southern California. An attorney for the couple said in a legal filing that prosecutors provided the defense with notes written by the admitted ringleader of the college admissions cheating scheme that support the couple's claim that they believed their payments were legitimate donations, not bribes.

One of the girls had allegedly armed herself with a pocketknife while two of the girls had armed themselves with items that could be used as a weapon including a sock filled with batteries and a sock containing a can of green beans, according to the release. Authorities at the school attempted to break up the fight and were joined by police officers from the Wheaton, Glen Ellyn and Carol Stream...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, Vt.) would sharply curb the tax benefits of executives’ retirement plans and require earlier taxation of stock options in a proposal that could dramatically alter compensation at major U.S. companies. In a plan set to be introduced Thursday, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination cited a forthcoming Government Accountability Office report. That analysis found executive deferred-pay plans at the 500 biggest publicly traded companies totaled about $13 billion in assets in 2017, just considering the top few executives at each company, or about 2,300 people. Chief executives typically had higher account values than other executives,...
