Episode 1167 Scott Adams: Trump is on a Glide Path to Reelection, NXIVM Update, Philly Riots Help Trump, Supreme Court

If you’re one of the many millions of Americans who snores — or suffer from sharing a space with a partner, parent or roommate who does — a new drug entering clinical trials in the United States could be a slumber saver. A 2018 study based at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston found that a once-a-night tablet which combines two non-sleep related drugs, effectively reduced snoring frequency for 20 research volunteers by 74% — from an average of 28.5 breathing interruptions per hour to just 7.5. Two years later, the remarkably simple — but potentially revolutionary — therapy is...

Even in the seemingly endless gutter that the devolution of American politics has produced, a simple truth remains: People will not say what they cannot say. If an allegation is hurled at someone, that person will almost instinctively deny the accusation. So powerful is this instinct that for centuries Anglo-American law imputed guilt upon individuals who were stoic in the face of charges against them. Now, Joe and Hunter Biden, and the entire Biden syndicate, will not say what they cannot say. They cannot say that the computer that contained emails, images and photos implicating the Biden syndicate in pay-for-play...

Co-host and network legal analyst Sunny Hostin said on Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” now that the Republican-controlled Senate voted to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court no longer reflected the values of America. Hostin said, “I think her appointment is really going to change the way the Supreme Court is going to not only handle cases but the way the Supreme Court is going to look going forward. We all know the Republican Party has been packing the Supreme Court for decades. They’ve been packing the judiciary for decades. Trump has put now three justices on...

As the U.S. Senate on Monday voted 52-48 to confirm Trump-appointed Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the nation's nine-member Supreme Court, the four progressive congresswomen comprising the so-called Squad advocated for increasing the number of justices on the nation's high court. "Expand the court," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York tweeted. ========================================================================= Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC · Oct 26, 2020 US House candidate, NY-14 Expand the court. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC US House candidate, NY-14 Republicans do this because they don’t believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do. And for a long time they’ve been correct....

ALBANY, NY—In a swift and decisive response to skyrocketing crime, unemployment, and pandemic deaths, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York is demanding to know who is responsible for this mess so he can hold them accountable.

Cuomo's administration looked throughout the entire state of...

I don’t usually watch presidential debates, preferring to get my take on the cheap from the on-line hot-takes at PJMedia.com and Breitbart.com. But last week I decided to watch. And here is my take. First, a shout-out to our far-right media. Wow, you guys sure can turn the sow’s ear of debate platitudes into white hot political purses of political kill-shots! Your ability to spin the post-debate debate is positively Clintonian -- as in Bill, not Hillary. Second, even the fearless Donald Trump doesn’t dare challenge Regime Orthodoxy. Example: climate change and race. In the climate change section of the...

Several weeks ago, presidential opinion polls showed Joe Biden with a double-digit lead over Donald Trump, like the supposed lead Hillary Clinton enjoyed four years ago. Despite prognostications of an almost certain Clinton victory, reality provided a different story ending. Will the big media be right this election cycle, or are they repeating their folly from the last election? Rasmussen Reports, one of the most accurate pollsters in the 2016 election, shows a significant narrowing in its White House Watch poll, from a 12-point Biden lead two weeks ago to a 3-point lead a week ago. Now it’s Trump by...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. Due to SARS-CoV-2's high infectivity, it spread rapidly across the world. In less than three months, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak as the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, over 41 million cases are reported, with over 1.1 million deaths. Genomic structures and phylogenomic studies reveal that SARS-CoV-2 belongs to genera beta coronavirus (includes SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus). However, there are important differences in the genotypic and phenotypic levels that influence their pathogenesis. While there are variations in severity and...

Many pundits suggest that if you haven’t made up your mind by now on your choice for President, you haven’t been paying attention. They’re largely correct, but there are some (a minority) who are paying attention and are seeing a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. (Apologies to Winston Churchill) This may be best exemplified by David French’s recent column where he quotes theologian John Piper at length. The upshot of his post is that a leader’s immorality destroys society. To that end, he cites “unrepentant sexual immorality,” “unrepentant boastfulness,” “unrepentant vulgarity,” and “unrepentant factiousness” as key markers...

ANN ARBOR, MI — Fewer University of Michigan students are voting at Ann Arbor’s early campus voting location since the county issued a stay-in-place order for students. And that’s a concern for some who are hoping for increased student turnout in the 2020 presidential election.

YUMA — Dozens of construction workers labor like a bustling colony of ants — only this colony is located along a 126-mile-long portion of the United States's southern border with Mexico. Standing 100 feet from one of these construction sites, watching workers install the concrete-filled steel beams into the ground feels painfully slow, but driving along the banks of the river and canal, the workers' years of labor is overwhelmingly evident and compelling. The wall is up, everywhere. Workers decked in orange vests operate the yellow construction machines in a robotic fashion as they drop the maroon pieces of steel...

Evangelical thinker, author, and Christian pastor John Piper stirred the Christian community and a larger public intrigued with how Christians may vote in the this election with his recent essay, “Policies, Persons, and Paths to Ruin: Pondering the Implications of the 2020 Election.” Piper concludes: “I will not develop some calculus to determine which path of destruction I will support.” After rejecting the sin of boastfulness with a terminology diagnosed in the Greek with the term “eristikos,” he is willing to forswear voting on or in the Presidential election of 2020. Piper’s critique of leadership character is one of several...
