Sitting in the waiting room for your name or number to be called, then sitting in the smaller room waiting for the doctor, and after 45+ minutes the doctor comes in and talks to you for 5 minutes and leaves. Is this the great American Healthcare System? Just replace the building and white coats and you could almost picture the same story taking place at the DMV. It seems like year after year the wait is longer and the next appointment is further away. Doctors are coming and going, no one remembers the chart from the last visit, and the...

HALLOWELL — A Belmont woman was arrested on a variety of charges Sunday after police say she struck an officer with her vehicle because she was frustrated with a traffic jam caused by a triathlon.

Before Archer even entered the US Capitol for his deposition, Rasmussen released a damning poll of likely voters on what they think of the Biden Crime Family.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' depth chart at wide receiver took a significant hit Monday.

Julius Erving has had the same five best players of all time ever since he was 15. He’s not changing it now for the modern game. Dr. J sat down with an interview with Joy DeAngela and she asked him about his top 10 players of all time list. His answer is not what you expect (hat tip Basketnews for the transcription). “I have five guys who are untouchable — Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. That’s my all-time best team. Everybody else has to be on the second or third teams, and I made...

Leading the group with four points and a plus-three goal differential, the USA can advance to the Round of 16 with a win or draw against Portugal. The USA could even advance to the knockout rounds with a loss to the Portuguese but that would call for the unlikely scenario of a Vietnam win over the Netherlands with USA keeping its lead of the Dutch on goal differential. The USA will win the group with a victory over Portugal and a loss or draw by the Netherlands against Vietnam. The Americans could also top the group with a win and...

Matthew 13:31-35 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus describes the transforming power of the kingdom of God by comparing it to a mustard seed and yeast. The Church is the Body of Jesus, the living organism that makes present Christ’s mind and will in the world. It is his love made flesh throughout the ages, his hands and feet and eyes and heart.We are all, through Baptism, members of that Body, hence organically related to him and to each other. Our purpose is his purpose: to carry the nonviolent and forgiving love of God to a hungry world, to go to...

One of the architects of that curriculum if you will said that your...

Monday was one of those mornings that makes you feel that Americans—depending on their political leanings—are living in parallel universes. While right-leaning outlets like Fox News Channel were gearing up to cover the congressional Oversight Committee hearing of former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer, MSNBC's Morning Joe was clutching their pearls over former President Trump daring to call out the possible corruption during a campaign rally. Incredibly, Morning Joe never mentioned the imminent Devon Archer testimony. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
