On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens all but two players stood during the “black national anthem,” but most either took a knee or sat down as the American national anthem was played. As the Ravens faced the Cleveland Browns in the season opener, all but two of the Ravens proudly stood as “Life Every Voice and Sing” rang out over the stadium’s public address system. Ahead of the song, the Ravens lined up at the goal line as a show of support. As the “black national anthem” played, Ravens players Marlon Humphrey and Matthew Judon took a knee, according to Baltimore...

The Sunday Night Football clash between the Rams and the Cowboys was supposed to halt the ratings crash the NFL has experienced so far in the 2020 season. Spoiler alert, it most certainly did not halt the ratings crash. According to DEADLINE Hollywood, ratings for NBC’s only weekly NFL game, were down a shocking 28%.

by Sam Rostok Worries about Joe Biden's cognitive abilities have plagued him throught the 2020 Presidential campaign, with the Democrat nominee misstating facts, showing repeated confusion or disorientation, and requiring teleprompters to answer questions, with just 50 days until the election. And this latest video clip is not going to help matters one bit. In an "interview" with Democrat operative CNN anchor Jake Tapper, Biden tried to attack President Donald J. Trump's foreign policy, specifically with regard to Asia and the Middle East. But instead he showed even more confusion, and bizarre misstatement of known facts when it came...

The English department at the University of Chicago believes that Black Lives Matter, and that the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Rayshard Brooks matter, as do thousands of others named and unnamed who have been subject to police violence.

For the 2020-2021 graduate admissions cycle, the University of Chicago English...

The blade-wielding Pennsylvania man shot dead by police — triggering destructive protests demanding justice — was previously busted in 2019 for knifing four people in the city, according to his lawyer and officials. Before Ricardo Munoz, 27, made the fatal decision to rush a cop while waving a knife on Sunday, he was charged with stabbing or slashing two men, a woman and a 16-year-old boy in and near a Lancaster home in March of last year. “He is the individual who was shot yesterday,” confirmed public defender Elizabeth Low, who represented Munoz in the aggravated assault case.

Kristi Noem said on Sunday evening, adding that the authorities were investigating the crash. “Last night at about 10:30 p.m. in Hyde County, the attorney general was involved in a crash while driving on U.S. Highway 14 just west of Highmore,” Ms. Noem said in a brief news conference. “There was a fatality, and law enforcement is working on identifying the deceased and notifying the family.”

The Biden campaign has been quietly building a massive "election protection program," including former Attorney General Eric Holder and hundreds of other lawyers in preparation for a legal battle in the event of a contested election. The former vice president’s campaign told Fox News Monday that over the past several months they have created the largest election protection program in presidential campaign history, involving integrated legal, communications and political strategies for what they anticipate to be an unprecedented election. The strategies, according to the campaign, are being directed to support election jurisdictions in preparing for and administering the vote under...

MURFREESBORO, TN (WSMV) - W.D. and Marzee Woodward knew they’d angered someone when their Trump sign was stolen from their front yard.

Woodward provided News4 Investigates photos of their shattered front door and how, based on how the glass was broken, he believes a b-b gun was responsible. “We’ve lived here over 30 years – never had any problems – we were so astonished,” said Marzee Woodward....

What is the next shoe to drop in U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation? That's one of the big questions in Washington this month, even as lawmakers' attention is torn among coronavirus, school reopenings, economic uncertainty, wildfires, social unrest and the presidential election.

What madness is this? – The Unfrozen Caveman Nominee of the Vote-By-Mail Party cast his vote in his home state’s primary elections Monday morning, and did it live and in person. Or at least as live as in-person as Joe Biden gets. So, tell us again why it’s supposedly unsafe for the rest of us to go vote in person this November? And if it’s unsafe for us to vote in person, why is it not unsafe for us to go to the grocery store, or take our clothes to the cleaners, or visit the local hardware store like we...

The letter (below) is a response from Oxford University to black students attending as Rhodes Scholars who demand the university remove the statue of Oxford Benefactor, Cecil Rhodes. Interestingly, Chris Patten (Lord Patten of Barnes), The Chancellor of Oxford University, was on the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 on precisely the same topic. The Daily Telegraph headline yesterday was "Oxford will not rewrite history”. Lord Patten commented: “Education is not indoctrination. Our history is not a blank page on which we can write our own version of what it should have been according to our contemporary views and prejudice.”...

On the one hand, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is the arguably the most lethal and versatile aircraft of the modern era. Three unique variants have been produced so that the aircraft can fit the needs of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and United States Marine Corps.

It has been widely adopted by American allies and partners and could remain in service well into the 2070s.

RUSH: Again I say, folks, it’s only 19 years ago, 19 years ago that everybody in this country was running around proudly waving flags. Everybody, including athletes, were carrying flags around the bases in the Major League Baseball playoffs. Well, not playoffs, they hadn’t started yet, but late season. NFL players were proudly carrying the flag to support the first responders of 9/11, 19 years ago. First responders, the police, sheriff deputies, were the heroes in this country. They were loved and adored and respected. Everybody was driving around this country, it seemed, with the American flag streaming outside car...

Called Trump a climate arsonist, said some people are worried this is Doomsday. Claims satellite images can see smoke from a million miles away (is this possible). Claims Trump is withholding aid for CA wildfires.

I wonder if getting caught passed out in your own vomit, in a hotel room with a male prostitute also passed out, with drugs all over the place along with blood and feces on the bed had anything to do with this announcement....Florida dodged a real bullet....
