The Ohio High School Athletic Association released an update to their Coronavirus regulations December 1, with predictable rules such as the wearing of masks while in community areas and during team travel, and temperature testing before competition. However, it also included some seemingly contradictory rules such as the elimination of athlete handshakes pre-and post-match. Officials are also no longer allowed to indicate the winner of the match by raising the wrestler’s hand. Fist bumping other wrestlers, coaches, or officials is also prohibited. Dr. Karissa Niehoff, executive director of the National Federation of State High School Associations, wrote in May about...

New York City Mayor Bill di Blasio said that the city could need to go into ‘full shutdown’...

To those who cares about faith, family, and freedom, Joe Biden’s announcement that he will nominate Xavier Becerra to be his head of the Department of Health and Human Services should set off alarms. Here are three things you need to know about this nomination.1. Xavier Becerra is the kind of person the Constitution was written to protect you from. By all accounts, Becerra is a nice man. He isn’t dangerous because he lacks civility, he’s dangerous because his view of civil liberties is offensive to the Constitution.As Attorney General of California, he has tried to pressure pro-life doctors and...

It is okay “for Catholics to bludgeon the Little Sisters of the Poor provided they carry a rosary,” Dr. Donohue noted wryly in an essay Monday pointing out that for leftist media, the only good Catholic is a bad Catholic. “CNN ran a piece December 13 noting that Joe Biden goes to church, prays, and carries a rosary,” Donohue observes, joining other puff pieces on Biden’s Catholicism by America magazine, NPR, and the Washington Post. What all the left-wing media love about Biden’s particular strain of Catholicism is his unapologetic rejection of the Church’s core moral teachings about life and...

A study published in Sports Medicine found that testosterone blockers taken by biological men who want to live as women do not significantly diminish their strength and gives them an advantage when competing against biological women in sports. The study found that elite male athletes are around 10 to 13 percent faster than female athletes and the difference in sports like bowling cricket balls, hitting long drives, and weightlifting is even greater — 29 percent to 52 percent. “Performance differences larger than 20 percent are generally present when considering sports and activities that involve extensive upper body contributions,” the study...

... In a December 2017 sermon, Warnock blasted Republican senators who passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which even the New York Times admitted benefited most Americans. “While others were sleeping, members of the United States Senate declared war, launched a vicious and evil attack on the most vulnerable people in America,” Warnock said in the sermon, likening them to Herod, who ordered the killing of male children two and younger in the region of Bethlehem in an effort to kill Jesus Christ, as detailed in the Book of Matthew. “Herod is on the loose. Herod is...

The “Black National Anthem” was sung during the Michigan Electoral College proceedings — following the actual national anthem. The song is called “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and was dubbed the “Negro National Anthem” by the NAACP in 1919. Please remain standing for the National Anthem — and the Black National Anthem…” they announced before having two women sing the song. The affront to the National Anthem came as Democrats used armed police to prevent Republican electors from entering the State Capitol.

Tis the season to avoid food poisoning — particularly for those in the Midwest. Health officials in Wisconsin are warning against the consumption of raw meat this holiday season, specifically in the form of cannibal sandwiches, a favorite among Wisconsinites that consists of raw meat – usually beef – served on a slice of bread with raw onions. “For many Wisconsin families, raw meat sandwiches are a holiday tradition, but eating raw meat is NEVER recommended because of the bacteria it can contain. Ground beef should always be cooked to 160 degrees!” the DHS tweeted on Monday, in a word...

Miller told the Fox & Friends crew that Team Trump is setting up its own slate of delegates to the Electoral College that meets today to certify the presidential election. “The only date in the Constitution is January 20, so we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result, and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election. As we speak, today, an ultimate slate of electors in...

Michigan's Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield says he will not attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election in Michigan. In a statement released hours before Electoral Voters cast the state's 16 votes for the Presidency, Chatfield says having state lawmakers decide the outcome "unpresidented."
