Goodell’s plan is to include two pregame national anthems at marquee events — the traditional one, which I guess now is explained as the “white” anthem, and the new addition and largely unknown “black” national anthem. To think that Goodell is dense enough to believe that such a separate-but-equal public relations scheme will promote good will as opposed to divisiveness. Why doesn’t Goodell have NFL stadiums further divide by race? Have race-specific entrances, water fountains, concession stands, parking lots, rest rooms? His anthem plan resurrects such long-gone racist history."

Provincetown officials on Sunday approved a temporary indoor mask mandate after a COVID-19 cluster stemming from an influx of visitors around Independence Day has now impacted more than 500 people across multiple states. In an emergency virtual meeting Sunday evening, the popular Cape Cod community’s Select Board voted to authorize Town Manager Alex Morse to order an indoor mask requirement until the COVID-19 testing positivity rate dips below 3%. When that happens, indoor masking will fall under an advisory, which Morse can lift once the positivity rate falls below 2%, officials said. The town’s Board of Health made the initial...

The #1 question I get from people is “what’s up with President Trump and the vaccine?” People are very confused because for years President Trump was very vocally against vaccines, or at the very least very skeptical of them. Now he proudly touts pushing what appears to be the most deadly vaccine of all. So what gives? Trending: RINOs Booed Off-Stage At President Trump’s Arizona Rally Well, if you can believe him, Bill Gates has the answer. A newly resurfaced video from 2018 shows Bill Gates claiming that he (Gates) talked President Trump out of investigating vaccines. Yes, really. And...

Republicans are blasting a provision in the federal defense budget that would require women to register for the military draft. ​ The ​Senate National Defense Authorization Act, approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee last week, contains an amendment that would compel women between the ages of 18 to 25 to sign up for the Selected Service, just as men that age are required to do. Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, an Iraq War veteran known as a hawk on defense issues, and Josh Hawley of Missouri voted against the proposal.

Turns out not building a wall is almost as costly as building one. President Joe Biden is spending at least $3 million a day on contractors “to watch steel rust in the desert,” Senate Republicans have found — as he tries to put a stop to former President Trump’s planned wall along the US-Mexico border, despite the ongoing crisis there. “President Biden is paying professional construction contractors to babysit metal to the tune of $2 billion and counting, while at the same time we’ve seen a 20-year high number of migrants crossing our open border,” said Sen. James Lankford (R.,...

And what is MTD exactly? Ms. Barna answers: “The moralistic perspective is we’re here to be good people and to try to do good…The therapeutic aspect is everything is supposed to be geared to making me feel good about myself, ultimately to make me happy. Deism is the idea that God created the world but has no direct involvement in it. Basically, according to MTD, there is a distant God who just wants everyone to be nice, and the purpose of life is to be happy. American ‘Christians’ who have adopted this philosophy have… elevate[d] personal definitions of right and...

The Baltimore Police Department is requesting federal police officers to combat violent crime in the city. "The ask is for federal agents to come help us," Baltimore police Commissioner Michael Harrison explained this week, according to WBAL-TV. "Certainly, police officers will answer citizens calls for service. But I think what the bigger picture meant is federal agents will be on the streets of Baltimore. Not specifically patrolling, but on the streets helping, working side by side with police officers to help fight violent crime." The federal government has yet to agree to the plan but it is believed that up...

Think of YouTube nowadays and what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many people it is censorship. It started out slow with a lot of people thinking, “Oh, Alex Jones was shut down but it will go no further.” Well, they were wrong. Alex Jones was merely Censorship Patient Zero and we are all now the new Alex Joneses (keeping up with the Joneses?)In the past two or three years, YouTube censorship has gotten egregious to the point of absolute absurdity. In addition, channels that are punished for being in violation of their guidelines often have the...

A new poll indicates that 1.8 million Americans have turned down job offers in order to stay on unemployment insurance. Morning Consult surveyed 463 out-of-work American adults at the end of June. 13% — roughly one in eight — said that they had refused job offers while unemployed because they “receive enough money from unemployment insurance without having to work.” Others said that child care obligations, worries over COVID-19, and a lack of job flexibility limited their willingness to take new positions. Because 14.1 million adults were collecting benefits at the time of the survey, Morning Consult calculated that roughly...

The Ostracism of the Old Liturgy Must End at Last! By Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger"It is also important for awareness raising in matters of liturgy that the ostracism of the form of liturgy valid until 1970 must cease at last.Anyone today who supports the continuation of this liturgy or participates in it is treated like a leper; this is where all tolerance ends.There has never been such a thing in the whole of history; in doing so, one is also ostracising the whole past of the Church. How can one trust its present when it is like this?Frankly, I also do...

If you want the more-advanced version of the rear-wheel steering system on the Mercedes-Benz EQS, and you live in Germany, prepare to pony up to unlock the software.

Why did Trump nominate Brett Kavanaugh to SCOTUS?? Kavanaugh was lead investigator in Vince Foster case and covered it up, meaning he was COMPROMISED when Trump picked him, but NOT because of the rape allegations; it was something much worse. Trump should have vetted Kavanaugh. https://www.fbicover-up.com/justice-brett-kavanaugh.html

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN Saturday that bringing back mask mandates is "under active consideration," and that he is "part of the discussion" around the decision. [cut] Critics slammed Fauci’s comments as being about "control," and "constantly changing." "Fauci chirping this weekend the vaccinated may well be back behind masks soon," tweeted conservative columnist Chris Stigall. "Proving this isn’t about anything other than control. It’s sure as hell not about science." "And they wonder why the public doesn’t know who to trust when the messaging is constantly changing," tweeted Independent Women’s Voice, a conservative policy advocacy organization. "Fauci is...

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci said federal health officials are considering recommending that fully vaccinated people wear masks in public again. “This is under active consideration,” Fauci told CNN in response to a question about whether masks should be used again despite individuals’ COVID-19 vaccination status. Fauci, who serves as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, added, “If we don’t vaccinate people, the model is going to predict that we’re going to be in trouble as we continue to get more and more cases.”

Federal officials are investigating after a single-engine plane crash Saturday at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport that killed former U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat pilot Dale “Snort” Snodgrass.
