Nearly a quarter of college students wouldn't be friends with someone who voted for the other presidential candidate — with Democrats far more likely to dismiss people than Republicans — according to new Generation Lab/Axios polling. Why it matters: Partisan divides — as each side inhabits parallel political, cultural and media universes —make a future of discord and distrust in the U.S. all the more likely. By the numbers: 5% of Republicans said they wouldn't be friends with someone from the opposite party, compared to 37% of Democrats. 71% of Democrats wouldn't go on a date with someone with opposing...

In October, New York's Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio issued an order mandating the New York City Police Department, and all other city workers, receive the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine or be terminated. On Tuesday, New York Supreme Court Judge Frank Nervo temporarily blocked the mandate. The ruling comes just one day after de Blasio issued a vaccination requirement for all private workers in New York and new rules for 5-11-year-olds entering restaurants or entertainment venues. "Mayor Bill de Blasio today announced major expansions to the 'Key to NYC' program, the first-in-nation vaccination mandate for workers and customers at indoor dining,...

She made the declaration that there would be no end to the program of booster shots for the COVID vaccines at the end of a video address in which she also castigated those who are eligible who fail to receive the vax. “So long as there’s people who are eligible who haven’t been vaccinated, we’ve got work to do....

First they came for Christmas…Christmas tree at Fox News HQ, torched by somebody last night, engulfed in flamesWhere’s Mayor Giuliani’s broken window approach to crime when you need it?The theory quite simply is that going after the small offenses leads to reductions in serious crimes. Some Democrats don’t approve of the ‘Broken Windows’ policy however because it’s…racist, or something. A House resolution, put forth by the Squad in 2020 spells it out:“The system of policing in America, and its systemic targeting of and use of deadly and brutal force against people of color, particularly Black people, stems from the long...

"Smollett testifying in his own defense is one of two things, or maybe both: a narcissistic criminal defendant who is doubling down on his charged lies to law enforcement or defense attorneys who know they are way behind and are throwing a low probability Hail Mary to try to get their client off," former U.S. attorney Neama Rahmani, who is not involved with Smollett's case, told Fox News Digital. Rahmani added: "Either way, Smollett’s story was a bizarre attempt at forcing a square peg into a round hole by offering every possible explanation for the state’s digital evidence except the...

Comments: garymichael 12/08/21 - 12:07AM If a woman wants/needs to abort a pregnancy she should be able to do it safely and quickly and without nosy neighbors trying to collect a bounty. If the Supreme Court allows an atrocity like the Texas Law then they will diminish the reputation and authority of the Supreme Court because people will ignore the Texans and just go to another state and have an abortion if it's needed. Or as this article points out, they will take an abortion pill. Doing that those same people will be thumbing their noses at the law and...

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Luke 1:26-38 Friends, today’s Gospel shows how Mary became the mother of all the members of the Body of Christ. From the cross, Jesus pronounced this word to St. John: “Behold, your mother.” He was giving Mary not only to John, but through John to the whole Church. Mary would be the mother of all the beloved disciples of Jesus up and down the centuries. Then we recall that, at the Annunciation, the angel declared to the maiden of Nazareth: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power...

Former NBC Sports personality Bob Costas said Tuesday on CNN that “outspoken” former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and NBA star LeBron James were “conspicuously mum” on China’s record of human rights abuse. The Biden administration announced on Monday that the United States will not send an envoy of diplomats to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing but will allow American athletes to participate in the games.

Illinois State head coach allegedly blamed offensive coordinator Kurt Beathard's performance, meaning jury would have to consider the football team's offensive capabilities. AFirst Amendment lawsuit by a college football team's ex-offensive coordinator may hinge on the performance of his players. Kurt Beathard claims he was dumped because he removed an Illinois State University (ISU) athletics department Black Lives Matter poster from his office door. He replaced it with a handwritten poster reading "All Lives Matter to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ." Student athletes boycotted practice in part because of his action, and the next day head football coach Brock...

After police in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, took her car, Malinda Harris did not get a chance to contest the seizure for five and a half years. After the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute threatened to file a lawsuit on her behalf last March, the county agreed within a week to return the car, which she finally got back this summer.The contrast between those two timelines shows how easy it is for the government to seize innocent people's property under civil forfeiture laws, which allow law enforcement agencies to supplement their budgets by confiscating assets they claim are connected to criminal activity. Harris'...

Lawmakers voted for the key legislation which included the new UFO office in an amendment tabled by Democrat senator Kirsten Gillibrand. It was passed without issue amid the other political wranglings over the mammoth $770billion NDAA bill that sets out US defense policy and puts aside cash for the Pentagon. Gillibrand put forward the proposal, which was backed by US presidential hopeful Republican senator Marco Rubio and Democrat congressman Ruben Gallego. UFOs have become a hot topic in Washington - stepping from being dismissed as a fringe conspiracy theory to a serious national security debate. *snip* The move is seen...

Leftists, denied some of their wish list items by Congress so far, on Tuesday turned their rage onto commuters and visitors in Washington, D.C., blockading streets and halting traffic. WTOP posted a series of images showing the blocked roads and warned "activists" were demanding action from Congress of "climate, health care, immigration and voting rights." Those include several of the major points of the Biden administration, which so far has failed to make the changes it promised supporters during the 2020 election. The report explained a contingent also "began marching on Capitol Hill" to demand satisfaction. One of the team,...

Donald Trump is calling on President Joe Biden to leave office over the rising number of COVID-19 deaths, a point of criticism Biden had leveled against the former president during his term. Biden campaigned heavily on being the candidate that could properly tackle the pandemic and blamed Trump's response for hundreds of thousands of deaths. It's likely that the death toll under Biden will surpass those reported while Trump was in office. Meanwhile, Americans' weakening confidence in Biden's response to the pandemic is taking a toll on the president's overall approval rating. On Monday, Trump said the virus has beaten...
