It would only require one or two results this weekend – none of them farfetched – for Notre Dame to reach the College Football Playoff for the third time in four seasons, including each of the past two. Maybe Georgia blows out Alabama. Maybe Baylor or Iowa beat Oklahoma State or Michigan. Maybe Cincinnati stumbles. That’s it. That’s all it would take. If it happens, Notre Dame will compete once again in the playoff … only this time without its head coach. It is the latest example of a sport gone mad – with money, with realignment, with championship aspirations,...

Lawmakers like Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have called for Dr. Fauci to step down and be prosecuted over the course of COVID-19. Fauci scoffs at such threats, calling it "noise." "They're really criticizing science because I represent science. That's dangerous." https://twitter.com/FaceTheNation/status/1465003501541597191

And right on cue, here comes the fear-monger machine, working overtime:Drugmaker's CEO warns of 'material drop' in effectiveness Markets fall on fears of prolonged pandemic Time needed to see if vaccines work against Omicron Variant was first detected in Netherlands on Nov. 19 Japan reports first case as new variant spreadsI believe the panic is premature. All I have to say is if China’s not worried, I’m not worried: And clearly China’s not worried. After all, they invented it, they should know how it works.So my advice is to stock up on Vitamin C, Robitussin, Mucinex, make up a big...

CHICAGO (AP) — Jussie Smollett staged a racist and homophobic assault and told police he was the victim after the television studio where he worked didn’t take hate mail he had received seriously, a prosecutor said during opening statements in the ex-“Empire” actor’s trial Monday. Smollett has maintained he was attacked in downtown Chicago in January 2019 by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, a report that ignited political and ideological divisions around the country. But special prosecutor Dan Webb said the actor recruited two brothers to help him carry out the fake attack, then reported it to Chicago police, who...

No president has ever proposed a more egregiously misnamed piece of legislation than resident Joe Biden's so-called Build Back Better plan. The label "Progressive-Democrats" chose for this European-style socialist legislation is an example of their favorite ploy: semantic subterfuge -- assigning an appealing name to an appalling concept. n reality, the plan is a socialist wealth redistribution ploy to erode America's free market economy and replace it with government control, burdensome regulations and even higher taxes. When it comes to building back better, what Biden and the Democrats need to rebuild are the successful policies of the previous administration they...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemDaniel 9Daniel’s Prayer 9 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes[a] (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian[b] kingdom— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. 4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “Lord, the...

Human beings are by nature tribal. We are tribal because our ancestors were tribal. Our ancestors were tribal because tribalism had evolutionary survival value. Fifty thousand years ago, our ancestors lived in small communities of about 150 people. These tribes competed with other tribes for resources, and the competition was often violent and brutal. Loyalty to one’s own group and hostility to members of other groups was a valuable characteristic in tribal combat. Someone who loved his neighbor (that is, a member of another tribe) as much as himself would not have been of much value in tribal warfare. If...

The value of these super-abundant follies will trend rapidly to zero once margin calls and other bits of reality drastically reduce demand.Inflation, deflation, stagflation–they’ve all got proponents. But who’s going to be right? The difficulty here is that supply and demand are dynamic and so there are always things going up in price that haven’t changed materially (and are therefore not worth the higher cost) and other things dropping in price even though they haven’t changed materially. So proponents of inflation and deflation can always offer examples supporting their case. The stagflationist camp is delighted to offer a compromise case:...

So the obvious question is, how is this working? On the basis of the most simple numbers, it's not. In fact, it looks like the greatest public policy failure of all time. How does Joe Biden explain that? What does Tony Fauci say about it or Rochelle Walensky? Well, nothing. Not a word. No one in charge has even acknowledged the magnitude of the failure. They haven't had to acknowledge it because they've created a scapegoat to take the blame for it. The scapegoat is called the unvaccinated phrase that everyone understands is essentially political. It means working-class Whites who...

An online forum for women created to tackle misogyny and offer dating advice has come under fire for echoing incel culture by scrutinising and ridiculing men. Founded in the US in 2019 by a 'collective' of anonymous women 'from all walks of life' the blog Female Dating Strategy is a community claiming to help women enter 'relationships that truly benefit them', that's since become a global phenomenon. It was created in reaction to the Red Pill or Incel communities - a collection of websites, blogs, and online forums which oppose feminism and promote masculinity and misogyny.

This past January, The Blue State Conservative proudly published the article, “12 Woke Companies to Avoid” by our good friend, Gen Z Conservative, and you can read that article here. Since that time, the problem with wokeness taking over corporate America has not improved, it’s gotten worse; much worse. Therefore, we bring you the next group of companies to add to that growing list. [Note that prior to explanations and justifications for each company, we’ve listed the official company name, its stock trading symbol, the industry in which the company operates, and the company’s annual gross revenue and market cap...

After spending yesterday doing interviews with practically every major American news organization, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel on Tuesday tanked shares in his own company after telling Britain’s premier financial newspaper that he expects vaccines will “struggle” to stop the omicron variant. Existing jabs will be less effective at tackling omicron than earlier strains of COVID, and it may take months before pharmaceutical companies can manufacture new variant-specific jabs at scale, Bancel warned in an interview with the FT. The CEO predicted a “material drop” in the current jabs’ efficacy at fighting omicron. Given the large number of mutations in omicron’s...

On December 1 the U.S. Supreme Court will hear opening arguments for what could become a momentous case. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Mississippi’s only abortion facility, sued the state over a 2018 law that has attempted to ban most abortions conducted after 15 weeks of gestation, which is just 13 weeks after conception. The regulation directly challenges the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which prevents states from outlawing abortions before “viability”—the point at which a fetus could survive outside the womb, which is generally around 24 weeks of gestation.

Due to a technical problem with the file stored with the distributor we had to do an update on Lies of Omission. In review, there was so much good information still relevant on the film, especially in the wake of the 2020 election and the pandemic (plandemic/scamdemic), that we decided if we were going to go through the headache, why not update the film? A "director’s cut" so to speak. We called it Lies of Omission 2021 and added, never-before-seen footage from the original interviews. At the same time, we went to a studio and enlisted the help of their...

Moving companies keep records of inbound and outbound migration. The Allied Van Lines Company just released its 2020 Migration Report. California ranked as one of the top Outbound migration states: Top Outbound States Illinois – 68% Michigan – 63% New Jersey – 63% California – 60% New York – 59% Top Inbound States Arizona – 68% South Carolina – 60% Tennessee – 59% North Carolina – 58% Texas – 58%

The Center’s analysts have written extensively on the various immigration provisions contained in the bill. Steve Camarota calculated that illegal aliens will receive $10.5 billion from the Child Tax Credit since the bill drops the requirement that the child have a Social Security number. I have highlighted in a series of posts how legal immigration will significantly increase, mainly via a green card giveaway to Big Tech. But the keystone of the immigration provisions in “Build Back Better” has been the attempt to amnesty millions of illegal aliens. Originally, Democrats sought what you might call "amnesty premium" in the form...

WASHINGTON, Friday, Nov. 29. Dispatches have been received at the Navy Department from Flag-officer DUPONT, dated Port Royal, 25th inst., giving the gratifying intelligence that the flag of the United States is flying over the territory of the State of Georgia. Tybee Island, which he says is within easy mortar distance of Fort Pulaski, has been taken possession of, and the approaches to Savannah completely cut off. On the Island is a strong martello tower, with a battery at its base. The National flag now floats over the soil of every seceded State except Alabama and Arkansas. In Virginia it...

When he announced last week that he would release more oil from the American Strategic Petroleum Reserve, resident Joe Biden told the American people he is doing everything possible to bring down gas prices at the pump. That's a lie. This administration and the climate change crazies have declared war on American energy. They want high oil and gas prices. The Biden master plan is for American oil and gas production and consumption to go to zero over the next 15 to 20 years. How do you achieve that goal? By making oil and gas so expensive and so unavailable...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) will be the subject of a forthcoming biography titled, "Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC." The book, which has a Feb. 1, 2022 release date, will provide "a dynamic and comprehensive look at one of today’s most influential political and cultural icons," the description states. Some of the material in the work will include "an essay on the role that her beauty plays in her public perception," an "analysis of her social media greatest hits," "an essay on her rare authenticity," and comments on "how today’s teens see her as the politician of their futures."
