The NFL has long been under fire for its lack of diversity at the head coaching position. And from the looks of this year’s head coaching cycle so far, that won’t be changing anytime soon. On Thursday, multiple reports indicated that Green Bay OC Nathaniel Hackett, who is white, is set to become the next head coach of the Denver Broncos. During today’s episode of First Take, ESPN figurehead Stephen A. Smith said this hire was “sickening” and “insulting” to see as a Black man. The Broncos moved past Eric Bieniemy as a head coaching option earlier this week. Smith...

My wife and I were having a casual conversation that resulted from a reader’s question regarding how many Christians may actually go in the rapture. This led to a thought in my mind concerning what we are witnessing in real-time when it comes to, what seems obvious to be, a purging of Christians in the social order of the world. Though the beginning of this article is focused primarily on the United States, this same battle seems to be waging in many parts of the world. Below, are some items of interest that we have been witnessing and what may...

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Thursday that President Biden must not allow the radical left to control the pending Supreme Court nomination.

The city of San Francisco is softening its mask rules ahead of the state of California. Beginning Feb. 1, office workers, gym members and so-called “stable cohorts” of vaccinated and boosted (if eligible) individuals may remove their face coverings indoors again, officials said in a statement released Thursday.

--SNIP-- The Police Department, for example, noted that the District Attorney’s Office has increasingly failed to win convictions for illegal gun possession, a crime police say must be addressed to curb gunfire in the city. But prosecutors said there was “little research supporting the approach.” And they noted that one category of gun possession — carrying without a license — was a felony in Philadelphia but a misdemeanor in the rest of the state. They called that legislative decision “inequitable and obviously racist,” and said they believe the Police Department’s focus on arresting people for that crime “is having no...

A doctor who has been offering free telehealth services to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic says that early treatment for COVID-19 works, claiming that he has a 99.99 percent survival rate. “We have a team of volunteer free doctors that donate their time to help treat these patients that come to us,” Dr. Ben Marble, the founder of myfreedoctor.com, an online medical consultation service, said at a roundtable discussion hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Jan. 24. He added, “We deliver the early treatment protocols to them as early as we can, and we have a 99.99 percent survival...

If everyone between 40 and 85 years of age were active just 10 minutes more a day, it could save more than 110,000 U.S. lives a year, a large study reports. "Our projections are based on an additional 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity," said lead researcher Pedro Saint-Maurice of the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch at the U.S. National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. "If the walk is brisk, it counts." And added exercise benefits everyone—white, Black, Asian and Hispanic, men and women, the investigators found. For the study, the researchers examined data from more than 4,800 middle-aged and...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — President Joe Biden will appear in Pittsburgh on Friday as an opening step in a broader campaign to promote the White House’s achievements in key states before the midterm elections.

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a leading Senate candidate, and state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the likely Democratic nominee in the race for governor, will be absent because of scheduling conflicts, according to their...

“It is difficult to find peace in the woods when armed frogmen might be lurking behind every tree,” lawyers for the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, the group behind the lawsuit against the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, argued in a legal brief filed last month. The Navy has used Washington state coastal parks for over 30 years for SEAL cold water training and other special operations exercises, with leaders saying the area offers the perfect environment to simulate what the elite forces may encounter on difficult operations overseas. “I do not care to catch a glimpse of apparently armed...

Conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed two more House candidates today, including social media influencer and Tennessee House candidate Robby Starbuck, who just yesterday saw former President Donald Trump back a likely challenger and former aide, Morgan Ortagus. “He has been a champion for America first for a long time,” Greene told Secrets of Starbuck. Her endorsement of Starbuck came the day after Trump urged Ortagus, his State Department spokeswoman, to enter the race in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District. Awkward as it may appear because Trump and Greene are very close, she told Secrets that Ortagus was not “worthy”...
