Biden 47, Trump 45, Jorgensen (Libt) 2, Hawkins (Grn) 1, Someone else 2

The fatal flaw in the idea that America is rife with racial inequality is a failure to distinguish between two kinds of equality: the equality of blacks as human beings, and the equality of their performance in the social and economic arenas.  The root of so many stubborn problems in America’s inner cities have less to do with skin color than with behavior.  But instead of getting to the root of the problem, academia, corporate-types, the media, Hollywood, and now professional sports have become a septic system that pipes the rotten narrative of victimhood all over the nation, forcing regular...

VIDEO Yesterday was a "Lid Day" (aka Do Nothing Day) for Joe Biden despite the fact that we are in the middle of what many people consider to be the most important election of our lifetime. Even more ridiculous the "Lid Day" came on a Saturday which is probably the best day of the week to campaign because it is on the weekend. And even more absurd than that it also happened on the day when the campaign had the bombshell of the controversy over replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. We heard about this from all...

A reward of almost $700,000 is now being offered for information leading to the capture and subsequent conviction of the gunman who shot two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies at close range last week. "The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors had initially authorized a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction," ABC News reported. However, as of Thursday, the reward had grown to around $675,000 due to generous contributions, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

Fr. James Altman doubles down in his widely anticipated follow up to the viral video "You Cannot Be Catholic & a Democrat" - which he maintains is the simple truth and a no-brainer statement. Altman discusses the "great tragedy" of the Church, and left-wing cancel culture - the bullying and socialist tactics used in opposition to him and other faithful Catholics.

Pelosi Stonewalls Bill That Would Crack Down on Chinese Influence in U.S. House Dems block bill to crack down on regime-sponsored Confucius Institutes House Democrats are blocking a bill that will curtail the influence of the Chinese-government-funded Confucius Institute, stymying bipartisan legislation that unanimously passed in the Senate. Despite bipartisan support in the upper chamber, House Democrats—including a cosponsor for the bill—voted against placing the CONFUCIUS Act on the agenda in late July, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has yet to announce plans to place the bill on the floor. If passed, the legislation would require all federally...

Leading Cardinal Supports Biden Tobin lets the cat out of the bag. Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, is considered one of the most powerful prelates in the United States. His power derives from his status as a member of the inner circle of Pope Francis. Where he stands on the presidential election, consequently, is a large window on FrancisChurch, and last week he gave the public a glimpse into it. “I think that a person in good conscience could vote for Mr. Biden,” said Tobin. “I, frankly, in my own way of thinking have a more difficult time...

If the senate does not seat another justice on the supreme court and there is another contested election and the court splits evenly on who should be president, does the speaker of the house take over?

Fr. Robert Altier issues a warning to beware of false prophets who preach a different message than Jesus Christ.

The 20,000 km long flight took place from the Engels air base in southern Russia, via the Barents Sea to the central part of the Arctic Ocean, over the Northern Sea Route towards the Pacific with return over Siberia back to the airport. World record for this type of aircraft, according to the Defense Ministry.

After flying north to the Barents Sea and the central Arctic Ocean, the plane flew over the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas as...

The Proud Boys promised a rally in West Philadelphia’s Clark Park on Saturday. The gathering never materialized. Those who showed up in one of the most progressive, racially diverse neighborhoods in the city turned out to be Antifa rioters that were there to oppose the Proud Boys!

Graham Payne-Reichert logged onto Zoom from a lawn chair in the backyard of his unofficial fraternity house, surrounded by three other members of Delta Tau Delta and a futon that had mysteriously snapped in half a few months before. He watched faces appear one by one on his screen — first his former roommate, then his Spikeball teammate, then the older fraternity brother who had put him at ease during a hard transition to American University just two years ago. It was one month after the killing of George Floyd and Payne-Reichert, vice president of his fraternity, kicked off a...

President Donald Trump's announced Saturday night that the Supreme Court nominee he plans to announce next week to fill the vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be a woman, spotlighting two conservative women as his potential pick. During a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump declared 'I will be putting forth a nominee this week, it will be a woman', later adding his pick would be a 'very talented, very brilliant woman' because 'I like women more than I like men'. As he left the White House for the rally, the president identified two women as front runners: Amy...

After quarantining students in their dorms for days, Gettysburg College decided to send most of its resident students home in early September. On September 4, Gettysburg College President Bob Iuliano sent a message announcing that the Pennsylvania institution would implement a "de-densification" plan, citing high rates of COVID-19 transmission. More than 1,000 students were required to move off-campus, according to Gettysburg’s administration. A limited number of students were allowed to remain on campus. Students who have research or teaching responsibilities, freshmen, and international students were given priority. A small number of students not meeting these criteria were aso allowed to...

. Whether Sweden’s strategy is succeeding, however, is still very uncertain. Its health authorities, and in particular chief epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell, keep repeating a familiar warning: It’s too early to tell, and all countries are in a different phase of the pandemic. This should leave us to wonder if that wasn’t the ideal solution from the beginning. If we had locked down the nursing homes and provided relief to everyone over the age of 55 so they could stay home, along with anyone with a doctor’s note saying they had underlying respiratory or immune system issues, could we have...

Excavations at Tell el-Burak, about five miles south of the Lebanese coastal city of Sidon, have revealed the well-preserved remains of a wine press used from at least the seventh century B.C. It is the earliest wine press ever found in the Phoenician homelands, which roughly corresponded to modern Lebanon. The discovery is featured in a study published Monday in the journal Antiquity. Large numbers of seeds show grapes were brought there from nearby vineyards and crushed by treading feet in a large basin of durable plaster that could hold about 1,200 gallons of raw juice... The wine press was...

What does everyone think? Will the Democrats use the issue that since Trump is nominating a judge to replace Ginsburg be the reason he will not debate? What are other options?
