The New England offensive line figures to be a pretty talented group in 2021. But that unit will have some changes in regards to who is coaching them. Cole Popovich, who served as New England’s co-offensive line coach last year with Carmen Bricillo, is not returning to the Patriots staff in 2021, as first reported by The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride. Bricillo will now serve as the team’s lone offensive line coach. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that the decision to move on from Popovich is “related to the COVID-19 vaccine and NFL guidelines.” The NFL sent out a memo to...

A Washington church won its case against a state abortion coverage mandate on Thursday, in a ruling by a federal appeals court.Cedar Park Church in Bothell, Washington had filed a complaint in March 2019 regarding a state law that required employers – including churches – to cover abortions if their health plans also included maternity coverage. While state law allowed religious groups not to pay for abortion coverage, it required it to be available to enrollees; the church argued that it could not find a health plan without abortion coverage included.The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday ruled that...

The Minnesota Vikings and assistant coach Rick Dennison have parted ways after the coach refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to ESPN on Friday. He is believed to be the first position coach to move on from his team because of the vaccine. The move comes a day after an NFL memo revealed that teams will be forced to forfeit if there is a COVID-19 outbreak resulting from unvaccinated players. The rule was set to encourage players and coaches to receive the vaccine. Any staff member who is labeled a “Tier 1” member is required to receive the vaccine....

In an August 2019 article titled “Silicon Valley Censorship and the Coming Global Police State,” I wrote the following: “If you love freedom and liberty, recent actions from high tech companies should have you worried. In pursuit of profit, the mega-companies of Silicon Valley have created products that invade user privacy. And they easily cave to the demands of totalitarian governments.” Unfortunately, recent events reveal the United States is now among those totalitarian governments. On July 15, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced White House officials were “meeting with social media platforms” and had “increased disinformation research and tracking.”...

If you’re still wasting your time with the legacy media, you’re aware of the fact that people who doubt the official coronavirus narrative are portrayed as utter morons, crazy conspiracy theorists, antivaxxers, anti-science, etc. However, according to an MIT study conducted last March, which obviously went under the radar because it doesn’t support the narrative, the majority of the people in the “skeptic movement” are highly informed individuals, who are actually using official data to make their arguments. It’s quite amazing that the establishment is actually admitting this, as the mainstream media is still framing skeptics as “right wing” retards...

Vaccinated individuals accounted for three-quarters of Singapore’s COVID-19 infections in the past four weeks, the latest numbers showing the potential for the disease — and in particular the highly contagious Delta variant — to spread even among those who’ve been inoculated against it, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.

About 25 percent of cases were among unvaccinated individuals, according to the report. Vaccinated individuals who tested...

U.S.—The new unemployment numbers are out, and they're pretty discouraging: among ethnic mascots of baseball teams and corporate brands, unemployment has skyrocketed 800% in the past year. "These are troubling signs for the BIPOC mascot community," said leading economist Dr. Matais Zendejas. "We had made so much progress, with mascots of all ethnicities being welcomed by the American public. But now it seems they are being fired at record rates, with the mascots and brand icons being replaced by genderless, white, inoffensive mascots, or else by nothing at all." "It's really not a good time to be a mascot of...

U.S.—Experts are warning of yet another new problem facing the nation: They’ve spotted a new, more dangerous freedom variant spreading among the populace. This freedom is so virulent that people infected by it feel they can ignore government edicts about masks and lockdowns. “Usually, the freedom we see in the wild is fairly mild,” explained CDC official Hubert Pratt. “It’s just freedom to passionately express one of the approved viewpoints on social media or freedom to pick one of the three Obamacare options. But now we see people acting like politicians aren’t in charge of them at all, and it’s...

[Catholic Caucus] ICEL official Monsignor Wadsworth announces retirement from public ministry if he no longer is permitted to offer the TLM “A week ago, on this day, and at this hour, an atomic bomb fell on the Church. I have felt physically unwell for most of the time since then - a visceral reaction to this wound that has been inflicted on us. “A priest is never more so than when he stands at the altar and offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and for the past thirty-one years since my ordination that experience for me has been...

1 BOUNDARIES: POLITICAL OR PERSONAL? Critique of Boundaries, by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend An increasingly popular "buzzword" among psychologists (and their followers) is "boundaries." This one concept is used to explain and correct a huge range of human behavior. Many popular psychology books have employed this term in recent years. The concept needs to be examined with biblical discernment. A review of the book Boundaries is an opportunity to do so, as the authors thoroughly explain what is meant by "boundaries," and how psychologists apply the term to various human relationships. The task before us is not...

President Joe Biden’s administration refused Friday to release the numbers of White House staff who had tested positive for the coronavirus. White House press secretary Jen Psaki argued the information was not relevant, as the staffers were vaccinated and experienced breakthrough infections and experienced asymptomatic or mild symptoms. “We’re in a very different place than we were six or seven months ago,” she said, downplaying the need to release the information. When pressed by a reporter why the White House would not release the numbers, Psaki replied, “Why do you need to have that information?” The reporter noted the information...

A miniature device that scans deep below ground is being developed to identify ice deposits and hollow lava tubes on the moon for possible human settlement. The prototype device, known as MAPrad, is just one-tenth the size of existing ground penetrating radar systems, yet can see almost twice as deeply below ground—more than 100 meters down—to identify minerals, ice deposits, or voids such as lava tubes. Local start-up CD3D PTY Limited has now received a grant from the Australian Space Agency's moon to Mars initiative to further develop the prototype with RMIT University, including testing it by mapping one of...

Hunter Biden claimed in his memoir that he befriended a street-dwelling crack addict and invited her to stay in his home. But when DailyMail.com tracked down the woman, she said his story is 'bulls**t'. In his book, Hunter devotes nearly an entire chapter to a woman he writes he 'loved as much as any friend he's ever loved,' a homeless crack addict he says he trusted to live in his apartment even though she was a criminal and had one son on death row and another serving life in prison. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Rhea said that she...
