The basic gist of the story is this: Mimi Groves posted a joke video years ago in which she used a racial slur. A half-black classmate of hers, Jimmy Galligan, saw that video and saved it, waiting for a chance to use it against her. Ms. Groves, a cheerleader, got accepted into the UT cheer program and admitted to the university, which was a dream come true for her. Mr. Galligan, once Ms. Groves had announced her exciting college plans, released the video on every social media site and turned a mistake she made years beforehand into a huge issue....

According to Channel 13 News, the number highlights the need for people to continue to protect themselves against the virus, because the body takes time to develop the antibodies needed to fight it. Studies of the Pfizer vaccine have demonstrated that immunity begins occurring only 8-10 days after the first dose and even then immunity is only at around 50 percent. For that reason, a second dose is given 21 days after the first. It is also unclear whether the vaccine prevents a person from spreading the virus. While the individual would not get sick, since the immune system is...

By Tori MasonDecember 30, 2020 DENVER (CBS4)– Parking on the street comes with more risk than someone swiping off a mirror or breaking into your car. Cities nationwide are seeing a spike in catalytic converter thefts. Catalytic converters help control exhaust emission in vehicles. You won’t know it’s gone, until you start your car. “I started my car and there was a roaring noise,” said Alyssa Wurzberg. “It could’ve woken up the whole neighborhood. I knew it was the catalytic converter.” Wurzberg posted on the app NextDoor to warn neighbors to stay vigilant. Several others in her Wash Park neighborhood...

Recently our family was having a birthday celebration for our granddaughter. As she begins to leave the shelter of childhood that we have kept her warmly wrapped in, I spend time telling her that as changes come, God will make a way for her to have what she needs by memorizing scripture. “Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you”. “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths”. As my grand daughter enters more relationships we are ready to be there for her. Since we have already walked down...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 2. We have a Government at last. High authority announces that the policy of the Administration, towards the Secessionists, is entirely changed. Henceforth it will be concillatory but firm in the execution of the laws. The steam frigate Brooklyn and another vessel at Norfolk were yesterday ordered to be in readiness for immediate departure to Charleston. The Brooklyn's cruise is up, and her crew are waiting to be paid off and discharged. But the emergency is considered too pressing to admit it. The secession leaders discovered yesterday the intention to start these vessels, and notified their sympathizers...

On December 10, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided Dayton, Nev.-based Polymer80. The company manufactures unfinished, referred to as 80 percent, receivers/frames. There are also reports of BATFE confronting Polymer80 customers and confiscating certain unfinished frame kits.

USA Today is on the warpath against high schools with so-called racially insensitive nicknames. In separate stories, USA Today pressured Red Mesa High School in Arizona to drop “Redskins” and Robstown Early College High School in Texas to replace the nickname “Cotton Pickers.” There’s a big catch to these stories. Red Mesa is a predominantly Navajo school located on the Navajo Reservation. Located near the U.S.-Mexico border, Robstown is 94 percent Hispanic or Latino. Minorities quoted in the two stories are proud of their schools’ respective nicknames and resist politically correct efforts to erase them.

Bret Baier repeatedly asks Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) whether she'd have voted last week to override Trump's veto of the NDAA. She doesn't answer directly. Baier: "I won't belabor it but that's not a yes or no ..." Sen. Loeffler: "That's right." Video...

A video taken in December shows a “desperate” restaurant owner confronting a health inspector over COVID restrictions, blocking his vehicle in with a truck. The incident involved Carlos Roman, owner of Bread & Barley restaurant in Covina, California, and a health official checking that his establishment was adhering to the government’s onerous restrictions. Roman told CBS Los Angeles that he dipped into his personal savings and shelled out thousands of dollars to create a patio at his business for outdoor dining, only to have outdoor dining halted as well. The health inspector reportedly found two customers dining outside who Roman...

A six-person team that included Rudy Giuliani and Peter Navarro on Saturday briefed hundreds of state lawmakers on evidence of election irregularities. The Zoom meeting included hundreds of legislators across Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Navarro, the White House director of trade and manufacturing policy, said during an appearance on Fox News. “These legislators, they’re hot, they’re angry, they want action,” Navarro said. “We gave them the receipts. We explained exactly how the Democrat Party, as a matter of strategy, stole this election from Donald J. Trump.” According to Got Freedom?, a nonprofit election integrity watchdog, the meeting...

SUMMARY Critical Race Theory (CRT) makes race the prism through which its proponents analyze all aspects of American life—and do so with a degree of persistence that has helped CRT impact all of American life. CRT underpins identity politics, an ongoing effort to reimagine the United States as a nation riven by groups, each with specific claims on victimization. In entertainment, as well as the education and workforce sectors of society, CRT is well-established, driving decision-making according to skin color—not individual value and talent. As Critical Theory ideas become more familiar to the viewing public in everyday life, CRT’s intolerance...

Regardless of one's political affiliation, it goes without saying that nobody wants to be forced or otherwise deceptively coerced into accepting a vaccine that may eventually cause cancer or some other harm — especially when many, without vaccination, do not even experience symptoms from the targeted virus. It also goes without saying that many are probably familiar with the idea that corrupt persons seek government positions or use their power and influence as a way to be paid by foreign countries or big corporations. One recent example is the Bidens' apparent collusions with China and the FBI's apparent cover-up of...

Open to all invitation. Great is the Lord and worthy to be praised. Spiritual battle including for President Trump and America.

A bill proposed in the New York State Assembly by Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal (D/WF-Manhattan) would make the COVID-19 mandatory in “certain situations.” The proposed bill, which can be found online here, states once vaccine distribution begins if New Yorkers are not developing sufficient immunity from COVID-19 the vaccine would be mandatory for those who can safely receive it. The vast majority of New Yorkers will most likely not receive a vaccine until the end of the spring or early summer of 2021. However, Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal introduced a bill that would require the state to start planning how to...

How a onetime aspiring public intellectual and Trump doubter turned into a true believer in stolen elections. For Eric Metaxas, a prominent evangelical public intellectual and Christian radio host, knowing that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is like believing in Jesus. He just knows in his heart that it is true. During a prayer call with evangelical supporters of President Donald Trump on Tuesday night (Dec. 2), Metaxas said that God is on Trump’s side in the fight against a “stolen” election. “It’s like somebody saying, ‘Oh, you don’t have enough evidence to believe in Jesus.’ We have enough...

The year 2020 was tough for everyone, children and adults alike. Most school-age kids were forced to attend school virtually, at least for part of the year. This, combined with lockdowns, caused screen time use to surge. More than usual, parents may fear kids aren’t learning well or are being exposed to things they aren’t yet mature enough to handle. On this, their intuition may be correct: 2020 saw an increase in LGBTQ-friendly marketing targeted at kids.

January 6, 2021 will be one of the most monumental days in American history. Since November 3rd, multi-millions of Trump supporters have been in a state of anxiety, unlike anything they have experienced as voters. Each and every morning they log on to various conservative news websites to read about and gauge the latest exposures of election fraud.
