Just 8.8 million people tuned into the Grammy Awards on CBS this year, a new all-time low for the music awards show, according to near-final Nielsen ratings. Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows, the Grammy's ratings were still the highest for any major award show in the past year. The Golden Globes were viewed by just 6.9 million people this year, a record low. Viewership of the Emmys last September dropped 11% year-over-year to just 6.1 million viewers, another record low. Prior to Sunday, 2006 was the...

A new Texas business coalition is urging Congress to pass legislation that would provide permanent legal status to “Dreamers” — those unauthorized immigrants, including more than 100,000 in Texas alone, who were brought to the U.S. as children. The Texas Opportunity Coalition launched Tuesday with support from Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican whose vote would be key for any such measure to succeed in the Senate. Cornyn said that “after years of being yanked around from court ruling to court ruling” over DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program launched by former President Barack Obama, “these young men...

The Alantropa plan does sound absurd today to many, but in the 1920s, it was taken seriously by engineers, politicians, architects, and even the United Nations, at one point. There were hundreds of articles in the German and international press supporting the project, and currently, thousands of publications and lectures about Alantropa can be found in a special section in the archive of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The grandiose plan involved partially draining the Mediterranean Sea and uniting Europe and Africa into one supercontinent. German architect Herman Sörgel, who was the brain behind the project, believed his plan was...

With our son heading off today for 4 months of infantry officer training at Fort Benning, Georgia, we chose to make our first trip into DC last night after relocating nearby a couple of months ago for a very nice “send-off” dinner at the Capitol Hill Club, the official club for Republicans. The Democratic club is down the street. For those of you not from Washington, it’s about 2 blocks from the Capitol building.Our son, a member of the Virginia National Guard, completed Officer Candidate School just as the pandemic was declared near a year ago, and he is just...

Andrew Cuomo completely mismanaged the COVID crisis. His ineptitude caused the deaths of thousands of elderly. He ordered nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients and sounded very crass “Older people, vulnerable people, are going to die from this virus,” Cuomo added. “That is going to happen despite whatever you do, with all our progress as a society, we can't keep everyone alive. Older people are more vulnerable. That is a fact that is not going to change.” Worse, he lied about it. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide confessed privately this week that the administration suppressed the true COVID toll...

I imagine our woke military leadership thought they would benefit from the prior default support American normals had for "the military" when jumping into politics against @TuckerCarlson. Except they failed to note how normals had been burned by other institutions previously. 1/ This is not 30, 20, 10 or even five years ago. Over the last two decades, normal Americans have found themselves attacked by every institution they had expected to protect them - academia, the media, the NFL... 2/ Even law enforcement betrayed them, in the form of kneeling cops & the FBI/DOJ cabal that tried to take down...

Early media accounts of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and a top Georgia investigator contained false quotes, prompting at least two major media outlets to issue a correction or update. The Wall Street Journal first published audio last week of the roughly six-minute call on Dec. 23 between Trump and Frances Watson, the chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, in which Trump urged her to look for fraud in mail-in ballots in Fulton County, where much of Atlanta is located. Indeed, Trump can be heard telling Watson, who was in the middle of conducting...

Ronald DeFeo Jr., who shot and killed his mother, father, two sisters and two brothers inside their Amityville home in 1974, a case that inspired the book and movie versions of "The Amityville Horror," has died while serving a 25 years-to-life sentence for the murders, New York State officials said.

A migrant facility in Texas was at 729% pandemic-era capacity at the beginning of March, as an influx of unaccompanied minors continues along the southern border. "Some of the boys said that conditions were so overcrowded that they had to take turns sleeping on the floor," Neha Desai, a lawyer representing migrant youth in U.S. government custody, told CBS News. The Customs and Border Protection holding facility in Donna, Texas, is designed for 250 migrants for pandemic-era capacity but was holding more than 1,800 people on March 2. Most of the minors Desai spoke to at the facility had reportedly...

Thorntons will permanently close all of its UK stores after more than a century of trading, the company has announced. The chocolate retailer will shut 61 stores, impacting 603 jobs, in the latest round of cuts to the high street amid the Covid-19 pandemic. After 110 years of creating chocolate, Thorntons said the ‘obstacles’ Covid-19 has brought on the high street are ‘too severe’ to survive. However, the retailer said it has seen sales surge online and will now invest in its grocery supply business as part of the company-wide shake-up. Retail director, Adam Goddard, said in a statement: ‘Changing...

The U.S. government plans to use the downtown Dallas convention center to hold up to 3,000 immigrant teenagers as sharply higher numbers of border crossings have severely strained the current capacity to hold youths, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press. The announcement comes amid comments from Texas Governor Gregg Abbott on March 9 who called the situation at the border an ongoing humanitarian crisis. “This crisis as a result of President Biden’s policies invites illegal immigration and is creating a humanitarian crisis for Texas,” said Gov. Abbott. “His administration is helping the cartels make money and grow...

Dear Sen. Tim Scott: Sadly, it is no longer much of a surprise when an official of your party says some racially offensive thing. From calling Barack Obama “uppity” and “boy,” to decrying an imaginary “war on whites,” to declaring the world’s Black and brown nations “s---hole countries,” racial offense has become the Republican brand, as much an identifier of the GOP as elephants in straw hats.

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) told Breitbart News on Sunday how Rita Hart, her defeated Democrat opponent in November’s election for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, is attempting to overturn the election results and disenfranchise Iowa’s voters. Miller-Meeks explained that her opponent is asking the House Committee on Administration — run by a six-to-three Democrat majority — to overturn the election results. In Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, 394,439 people voted in the 2020 election, with Miller-Meeks ultimately winning by 6 votes. Hart argues 22 Democrat ballots deemed illegitimate should have been counted, giving her the election. “They are disenfranchising 400,000 voters,” Miller-Meeks...
