President Donald Trump's net disapproval rating has slumped by six points since the end of July, but has remained steady over the past month as the coronavirus has continued to spread across the U.S. According to the FiveThirtyEight presidential popularity tracker, 52.9 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump's record in office on average as of Wednesday, while 43.7 percent approved. But back in the end of July, the president's disapproval rating was almost three points higher as 55.8 percent of U.S. adults told pollsters they were unhappy with the commander-in-chief.

ASHLAND -- The last American bison to roam the Ohio wilderness was documented in 1803 in Lawrence County. Humans are the sole reason for the decline of the American bison population. They were hunted to near extinction nationwide and altogether extirpated from Ohio. In the 1800s, people could pay money to sit on a train that drove by herds of bison, and could shoot the animals while sitting in the train cars for sport. With interest continually growing in wildlife protection and ecological maintenance, some have wondered if the American bison can successfully be reintroduced in Ohio's ecosystem. Reintroduction, according...

Now here's some old-school shoe leather investigative reporting the New York Times probably didn't anticipate after it published its stolen-documents expose about President Trump's bad, bad, tax returns, coming from the green-eyeshade mavens at its tiny rival, the New York Sun. In Ira Stoll's report, headlined "Guess How the Times Knows So Much About Tax Losses Trump Uses," the Times is exposed for doing the exact same things that President Trump did on his taxes, in a report that leaves it its piety in smoking ruins. Hypocrite much?  The brilliant piece begins with: The New York Times’ investigation of President Trump says the president used big tax losses...

Over the last few months, various headlines have emerged suggesting the potential for cannabinoids, and in particular, cannabidiol (CBD) to treat the often deadly inflammation caused by COVID-19 known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Now, researchers have begun exploring another popular cannabinoid- tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in cannabis- for the same effects. For the study, the researchers exposed two groups of healthy mice to a bacterial infection called Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), known to cause mostly fatal cases of ARDS in mice. In this case, the researchers treated one of the groups with THC immediately after being infected by...

President Trump’s plan for Black America designates the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations and calls for making lynching a national hate crime, while pledging to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $500 billion, Fox News has learned.

The (Nashville)statement appealed across Christian denominations and various Christian denominations passed resolutions to embrace the statement as compatible within their denominations. The Southern Baptist Convention and the Presbyterian Church in America declaired the statement, in the words of the PCA resolution, a “biblically faithful declaration.” Within the PCA, however, a group of pastors has agitated against the statement and started an organization called Revoice that attempts to claim one can be a gay Christian and be defined as both gay and Christian, even while foregoing homosexual acts. Most troubling, Revoice drew from some professors at Covenant Theological Seminary, the PCA’s...

On September 23, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-79-20 proclaiming: “It shall be a goal of the State that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zero-emission by 2035.” As the late Gene Wilder said in The Producers, you can only have 100 percent of anything. So in 15 years in California, the governor wants to ban all sales of the gasoline powered cars and trucks California workers now depend on. The governor didn’t say how the millions of new electric cars would be charged, in a state where the “rolling...

CIA Director Gina Haspel is personally blocking the declassification of documents detailing corruption at the highest levels of the intelligence community during the 2016 election, according to The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis. While new information about wrongdoing at the FBI has recently been declassified, including recent revelations about Hillary Clinton campaign’s collusion with Russia, Davis reported on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday that Haspel herself is standing in the way of the declassification of other relevant documents. ... Notably, Haspel was previously the London CIA station chief under former CIA director John Brennan during the 2016 election. “Recall it was London...

The grand national demonstration of all the "Wide-Awakes," or delegations from all, to take place in this City next Wednesday night, bids fair to be quite as brilliant a spectacle as its warmest friends have predicted. Positive assurances have been received by the Committee that has charge of the affair that the largest number that has been named will participate in the parade; and making every allowance for the possible detention of some, it is estimated that full 30,000 men will be in the ranks on the occasion of the display. There has been considerable difficulty in procuring enough uniforms...

Oscar de la Torre, an activist and organizer who has led efforts to protect backstretch workers at Southern California racetracks, recently authored an opinion piece in the Spanish language newspaper La Opinión in which he said animal rights extremists have subjected Hispanic workers to openly hostile racism while protesting against horse racing at Santa Anita and Del Mar. “Based on my experience over the last several years helping to organize largely immigrant Latinx workers in the horse racing community in California,” de la Torre wrote in an English language version of the article sent to the Paulick Report, “it is...

The dark side of the BDS intersectionality agenda. Led by the virulent anti-Israel, often anti-Semitic group Students for Justice in Palestine, the student government at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently passed a resolution calling on the university to oppose anti-black racism and also to divest from Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar Inc. and Elbit Systems Ltd., firms, the activists allege, that are “involved in human-rights violations and violations of international law, including the confiscation and destruction of Palestinian lands, criminalization of immigrants and communities of color, and other human rights violations,” offenses that would “make UIUC complicit...

During Tuesday night’s debate, Biden insisted he was in charge of the Democratic Party, but his evasions tell a different story. In an exchange about health care during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, former Vice President Joe Biden declared, “I am the Democratic Party!” He was responding to President Trump’s claim that Democrats want “socialist medicine,” a Trumpian but mostly accurate characterization of where most Democrats are on health care. Biden vehemently denied it, saying he’s not for getting rid of private health insurance.But beyond the question of health care, Biden’s claim of ownership over the Democratic Party stood out Tuesday...
