Americans are divided on the forthcoming coronavirus vaccine as just 51% say they would get vaccinated for the disease if a vaccine was available today, according to a Pew Research Center poll.

Is a recess appointment to the Court an option? (UPDATED) UPDATED Sunday 8:48 a.m. The Senate is currently in recess until February 22. The recess began on Friday. Whether this opens an opportunity for a recess appointment depends upon how Senate leaders interpret an adjournment resolution approved last Friday. That will determine whether it will meet for brief activity during the recess, which could close that opportunity. Analysis The Constitution not only assigns to the president the task of making nominations to the Supreme Court, setting off Senate review that may or may not result in approval, but it also...

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the enigmatic, longtime Supreme Court justice who attained near cult-like status among progressive circles, died Friday at the age of 87 from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.

In 2017 a local boys soccer team in Dallas made up of 14-year-olds defeated the United States national women’s team. It was downplayed by media with claims that the best women in American soccer weren’t really trying against the young boys, but anyone with a brain knows there is zero chance the women’s team was laying off. They tried their best to defeat the boys, many of whom were likely recently past puberty, and still lost 5-2. It was a wake-up call that should have been heeded, but not everyone got the message. Schools in Connecticut failed to do so...

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled on several issues on Thursday to ensure a Democrat Party win in November. ** The Green Party candidate was struck from the ballot ** Ballots will be accepted UP TO THREE DAYS after the election ** Poll workers must serve voters in the county where they live — this protects far left districts where fraud is likely to occur This means Pennsylvania will likely not have their numbers in at least until November 9th, a Monday. Democrats will do anything to win. And now Michigan Democrats joined their counterparts in Pennsylvania. A Michigan judge on...
