An ex-Gary boxer serving a 30-year sentence on federal drug and conspiracy convictions was granted clemency Wednesday by President Donald Trump. Charles “Duke” Tanner, 40, was released Wednesday from a Pennsylvania prison, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. His original release date was Oct. 20, 2030. He had lobbied unsuccessfully for years to cut his drug sentence short. Tanner said Thursday he found out he was getting released after the prison’s 4 p.m. stand up count Wednesday. After his release, he was taken to a hotel room. Friends later picked him up. "They came to my cell and said,...

Friends it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana. Listen Live Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.

This is it. We’ve now passed the deadline to register to vote in the 2020 presidential election and Pennsylvania Republicans are peaking at the right time again. The Republicans made substantial gains in 2015 and 2016 ahead of Donald Trump’s surprise victory, only for the Pennsylvania Democrats to bounce back over the past four years. Since last spring’s primary, though, Republican registrations have steadily grown. For instance, back in May the Democratic margin statewide was 803,427. As of the Oct. 19 deadline, it’s been reduced to 700,853. The grand total of 9,016,163 registered voters consists of 4,207,190 Democrats, 3,506,337 Republicans...

ASK FATHER: Recent comments about same-sex unions… a “slap in the face” of those trying to leave homosexual lifestyle? Posted on 24 October 2020 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf From a reader in a comment…QUAERITUR: When “going to the periphery” crosses the line is when the exception becomes the rule of law. What about COURAGE ministry, isn’t this a slap in the face of those trying to enact 12 step program to leave homosexual lifestyle? Yes, it is a slap in the face.It is a slap in the face of every faithful Catholic priest who has tried to preach about human...

Gentlemen, express yourselves by means of which non'cartridge disposable razor you have used. I am moving away from Schick ST2's because 12 razors for $12.97 is not conducive to my budget, even with "sensitive skin"!

Right now, many people are focused on national politics, the elections, the banning of conservative thought, and the fear of more violence and destruction to come from Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa. But anyone who cares about the nation’s longer-term future needs to pay attention to the horrible transformation going on in the nation’s schools. It is on a scale that we have never seen before. A flood of Black Lives Matter curriculum material – specifically tailored for various grade levels – is now showing up in public (and some private) schools across the US. Children are hit with...

What would be the impact on Facebook and Twitter stock value if conservatives abandoned these sites en masse? I just got fed up today when Facebook deleted my second post as "violating community standards". It was an American Thinker article about Hunter Biden, and included the photo of him smoking a crack pipe. The previous one from just a couple of days ago was a meme about being old and not realizing the cause of most injuries is thinking that you can perform the same activities you did when you were younger!With all the censorship of late, I just decided...

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Tampa Bay Rays won Saturday night's Game 4 on one of the wildest finishes in World Series history, capitalizing on a disastrous error by the Los Angeles Dodgers to secure an 8-7 come-from-behind victory and tie the series at 2-2. With two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning, Brett Phillips, a seldom-used outfielder, laced a single to center field off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, bringing in the tying run. That's when things got wild.

Trump just stopped airforce one for a special and toured a pumpkin farm and signed Pumpkins for kids. lol Anyone have any idea where? It is amazing that in this busy schedule he has time to do this little side tour to Pumpkin small town U.S.A. :)

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Sunday that the country is “not going to control the pandemic” — noting it is contagious like the flu and must be managed with therapeutics and vaccines. “We’re not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation efforts,” Meadows said during a contentious interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Why aren’t we going to get to control the pandemic?” Tapper asked. “Because it is a contagious virus just like the flu,” Meadows responded, as the two...

At a virtual event from his basement before his campaign called a lid this morning, Biden expressed his optimism that Trump will lose the election as soon as the debates happen. "Once the debates are over, he's done for," Biden said. "He'll be finished once I clean his clock and show him a thing or two. Push-up contest, me and you, Jack!" He then started doing push-ups for some reason but was forced to press his Life Alert button. Aides rushed downstairs and picked him up, scolding him for challenging the computer screen to a push-up contest again. "What did...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is battling for his Senate career in a toss-up re-election race, on Sunday brushed off a sharp attack from Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, telling reporters, “I don’t really worry much about Mr. Dobbs.” Graham, when asked whether he wanted President Trump to stand up for him against attacks from the right, said Dobbs “has a right to his own opinion” but “people at home get the big picture.” “I think people in South Carolina understand why it’s important for me to get re-elected,” Graham said. Dobbs on Friday expressed incredulity over why conservatives are...

...Former acting Director of National intelligence and American hero, Richard Grenell, thought the public might want to know that during the final days of what conservatives like to call the “Kenyan usurpation,” Barack Obama’s administration “weaponized intelligence.” Joe Biden, now the assumed Democrat candidate for the White House, was deeply involved in the plot to overthrow President-elect Trump. “We now know that the vice president of the United States,” who at the time was Joe Biden, was “looking for information” and manipulating intelligence” In January of 2017, Grenell said Thursday. The same former spy chief who declassified the Obamagate documents...

So here we are, 10 days out from the most momentous election of my lifetime. Candor requires that I admit that I have often felt that sense of existential emergency around election time. But reflection tells me that the closest thing to the 2020 election was the 2016 election, and that was not because of its wild card—Donald Trump—but because of “sure thing” Hillary Clinton, the single most corrupt serious contender for president in our history. That may seem melodramatic, but the truth is often melodramatic. I did not, until recently, suspect Joe Biden of serious corruption. The ongoing revelations...

There will be a time when we’ll go to concerts again. We will buy our tickets, shuffle shoulder to shoulder down the aisle, and find our seats. The lights will dim, and the conductor will walk onto the stage to introduce the program. They might talk about Beethoven, Schumann, and Bartók. And they might talk about Alma Mahler, Florence Price, Henry Burleigh, and Caroline Shaw. Many of us, used to the conventions of classical performance, will hardly notice the difference: “traditional” white male composers being introduced with only surnames, full names for everyone else, especially women and composers of color....

Reader Stéphane Mercier writes: Starting a novena this very weekend... We all know Trump isn’t a saint, but he’s certainly the one whom the sane world NEEDS to win this election. Like in the Batman movie, “he’s not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now.” Excellent idea, and many thanks to you, Stéphane! Instead of praying on our own, why not star a big common Novena? I suggest we start on Sunday, 25 October It will end on Monday, 2 November. This is exactly the day before the election, so the timing is excellent. Please forward...

Many of you are probably old enough to remember when Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski (R) was saying that the Senate committee hearings over the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for a seat on the Supreme Court hadn’t swayed her position. She was still not inclined to act on any confirmation process prior to the election. That was way back around… three days ago. But as of yesterday, that story has taken a sudden turn. Now Murkowski is saying she plans to vote in favor of confirming Barrett if and when the measure comes to a full vote on the...
