Selina Soule spent years training in the hopes of securing a college scholarship and leaving behind a legacy at her high school by setting new records in track. But those plans were temporarily put on hold one day at the Connecticut Indoor Track & Field State Championships in 2019 when she placed one spot away from qualifying for the finals and the subsequent opportunity to compete at the New England Regional Championships. That meant missing a crucial opportunity to compete in front of recruiters and secure financial aid that would help alleviate the heavy burden of the cost of college...

Kiley told Fox News he felt compelled to help teachers who are frustrated by Newsom’s closure of schools in response to the pandemic. He said he’s spoken to many teachers who want to be back in their classrooms but "are being barred from doing so by their union or by the governor himself." Newsom’s early response to the pandemic was widely praised, but his favorability ratings have plummeted in recent months as his draconian lockdown measures took their toll on businesses and children’s mental health. Newsom has said he will not force public schools to reopen but instead wants to...

Time magazine's article intones the 'Trump is crazy' mantra over his claims of a 'rigged' election while telling anyone who reads it how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election.Time magazine's article intones the 'Trump is crazy' mantra over his claims of a 'rigged' election while telling anyone who reads it how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election. Corporate media has spent the last year arguing that Donald Trump’s claims about 2020 election integrity amount to “seditious” conspiracy theories. While maintaining that narrative despite the cognitive dissonance, Time magazine’s Feb. 15 cover story pulls back the curtain...

As the Democrat’s sham impeachment trial of President Trump started today, Democrats are attempting to re-write history and get the public to forget the many times that they themselves have incited violence against their opponents. During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Maxine Waters was asked if she can say that she never urged violence against Trump supporters. She insisted that she never did. That’s an outright lie. And we know this because we have all seen the video of her urging mob violence against Trump supporters.

Today's second Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump isn’t expected to lead to a conviction or interest in the nation, according to a survey done on the eve of the action. “Only 15% of voters say they’ll watch the entire Senate impeachment trial on TV, and 21% expect to watch most of it. 30% say they’ll watch some of Trump’s trial, but 32% won’t watch any of it,” said the pollster in a preview of its results. An earlier poll found that the trial is likely to lead to even deeper partisan resentment and spoil any hope by...

Dr. Stella Immanuel, who, together with her colleagues were lambasted by the media and establishment medical community after she swore to the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine at treating COVID-19 in a viral video last year, is now demanding an apology, as much of the medical community and establishment media now agree with her.“I demand an apology,” wrote Immanuel. “When we said Hydroxychloroquine works we were ridiculed. Now studies are coming out saying it works.”Immanuel added, “What about hundreds of thousands that have died and are still dying.”“I demand an apology,” she said in the video. “From the media, I’m talking about...

As far as minorities go, House Republicans are in a pretty good spot. Between the trend of midterm elections usually favoring the party that is not in the White House, a closely divided House, and a party apparatus ready to continue their expectations-exceeding 2020 strategy while Democrats rework theirs, Republicans are on track to winning back the House in 2022. "It has the makings of what could be a good year for the Republicans when it comes to the House," said J. Miles Coleman, associate editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “House Democrats...

In the last twenty years, we have seen as a people the near-complete erosion and extinction of conservative policies and programs in US society and politics. The United States is EXPONENTIALLY becoming a secular socialist state while rapidly abandoning and despising our representative republic. Our Judeo-Christian heritage, morality, and values do not dominate our culture and society as they once did which has led to our present ruin. Another reality is that many have never known any other kind of society than what presently exists. Accountability, responsibility, and virtue are “hisses and by-words” in Hollywood, the Media Establishment, social media,...

Moments before Super Bowl LV kicked off Sunday night, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden made a pre-recorded appearance to honor the more than 463,000 people who have died from COVID-19 by asking for a moment of silence – instead they were booed by the crowd. ‘Before kickoff we wanted to thank all the frontline healthcare heroes both at the game and watching across the country. You put yourself at risk to keep the rest of us safe. You and your families carried us through this year with courage, compassion and kindness. We couldn’t have made it without...

I was a Staff Officer at a field command post during a military training exercise several years ago. A Three Star General came in to evaluate my performance. I gave him a quick briefing on how things were going. He stopped me in mid-sentence and asked me to define a word I had spoken. I was confused. I assumed he understood the word I used (I can’t remember the exact word now). I tried to explain. He cut me off. “Words have meanings”, he explained. ‘They have specific meanings. If we all don’t understand and agree to the meaning of...

The number of jobs in the German renewables sector (production and installation) has fallen from about 300,000 in 2011 to around 150,000 in 2018, the German Trade Union Association (DGB) found in an analysis of employment in the energy transition. The drop in employment is mostly due to the collapse of Germany’s solar power industry over the past decade, as many companies were forced out of business thanks to cheaper competitors from China scooping up most of the market. The number of jobs in solar PV panel production and installation fell from a record 133,000 in 2011 to under 28,000...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has opened an investigation Monday into former President Donald Trump infamous leaked recorded phone call last month to Raffensperger. “The Secretary of State’s office investigates complaints it receives,” Walter Jones, a spokesman for Raffensperger’s office said in a statement. “The investigations are fact-finding and administrative in nature. Any further legal efforts will be left to the Attorney General.” Findings are typically brought before the Republican-controlled state board of elections, which decides whether to refer them for prosecution to the state attorney general or another agency. After such investigation is completed, investigators will present their...

There was a lot of history at Super Bowl LV on Sunday. Unfortunately, not all of it looks good when it comes to how many people actually watched – and we’re not just talking about Nielsen’s unprecedented delay in getting the actual data out. In figures released Tuesday morning by CBS Sports, the big game had a total audience of 96.4 million viewers on CBS and a bundle of platforms and outlets, according to Nielsen. Confirming suspicions that many had even going into the matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs, that is the least-watched Super...

Everyone loves a tale of redemption, but Hunter Biden’s decade of shady influence-peddling off his family name can’t just be airbrushed away by the president choking up on national television on Super Bowl Sunday. Joe Biden could barely contain his pride that his son, Hunter, 51, has written a book about his crack addiction. “The honesty with which he stepped forward and talked about the problem. And the hope that, it gave me hope reading it,” Biden said in an interview with CBS News. “My boy’s back,” he said, looking tearful. “I’m sorry to get so personal.” Oh, no, he’s...

On the eve of the second impeachment trial of former President Trump, more than 140 constitutional scholars have issued a public letter to his lawyers with the demand, in effect, that they not make arguments to the Senate regarding the First Amendment. This unreasonable new demand comes in the form of a claim that “any First Amendment defense” raised by the attorneys for Trump “would be legally frivolous.”This threat is dangerous to our adversary system of justice and wrong as a matter of constitutional law. It is dangerous since the rules of professional responsibility prohibit an attorney from making frivolous...
