Caitlin Clark had no specific plan for how she hoped to break the NCAA women's basketball scoring record Thursday. But after doing so while also setting the Iowa Hawkeyes' single-game scoring record, Clark had to grin. "You all knew I was going to shoot a logo 3 for the record," said Clark, who now has 3,569 career points, 49 of them coming Thursday. And indeed, every aspect of the night seemed storybook perfect for the senior star. (Snip) She was far from done, though. Clark went 8-of-10 from the field -- 5-of-7 from 3-point range -- in the first quarter,...

In recent decades the quality of American education has plummeted.When you scan the headlines related to education, you realize how far we have fallen:A “non-binary” activist teacher promotes the woke agenda for kindergarteners and claims that the U.S. and Israel have “no right to exist.”Harvard, America’s oldest and most prestigious college (historically), now teaches a class on the pop singer Taylor Swift. Harvard’s tuition costs $75,000 a year.A Seattle high school teacher, who praised Hamas in class, failed a student on a quiz. Why? The student said men can’t get pregnant. When the student’s mom complained, the school authorities stood...

@VigilantNews Dr. McCullough Shares Good News for Vaccine Regretters“Look at these cardiac arrests, major blood clots, people going down. It’s because the spike protein is not being cleared out of the body,” says Dr. McCullough. He urges taking action with three natural substances: 1.) Nattokinase - degrades the spike protein. 2.) Bromelain - accelerates the clearance of spike proteins. 3.) Curcumin - reduces inflammation and spike protein damage. Dr. @P_McCulloughMD mentioned that this is a base therapy, and other things can be added to it. He also stressed: “People ought to get going on this because these syndromes, as we’re...

Fran Itkoff, 90, has been volunteering for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for roughly six decades, helping multitudes of people who suffer from the disease that plagued her late husband. The elderly volunteer recently told Chaya Raichik of Libs of TikTok that her days with the MS Society have been unceremoniously brought to an end because she allegedly dared to question the organization's social construcivist virtue signals — the provision of gender pronouns in particular. While ostensibly an organization committed to fighting disease, the MS Society has in recent years become infected by identitarian and LGBT ideologies. In 2020, the...

Last November, WGN Investigates first reported how a south suburban politician and her allies spent taxpayer money on first class airline tickets, luxury hotels and high-end restaurants. The elected positions pay her more than $280,000 annually, according to interviews and records. After the story aired, WGN Investigates sent a public records request to Dolton asking for, among other things, copies of additional credit card statements to check if the spending spree continued. The village did not turn over the records, as required under state law. The records request, sent via email on Nov. 29, also asked for copies of documents...

Rachel Levine: “Climate change is having a disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities

A new “equity” initiative in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aims to declare more black people to be mentally disabled. Black veterans currently receive disability payments for mental health conditions at nearly twice the rate of whites. But the Biden administration’s Equity Assessment and Action Steps for Mental Health Compensation Benefits, released Wednesday, said that to attain “equity,” that number needs to be even higher. “A higher percentage of Black Veterans currently receive disability compensation benefits than white Veterans for mental health conditions (21.7% vs. 12.7%),” the assessment said. “On average, Black Veterans also apply for disability compensation at...

Led by an elderly man experiencing cognitive decline, the Biden administration has launched a strident effort to promote electric vehicle (E.V.) sales. This push is part of a globalist climate change agenda that ignores the unreliability of renewable energy during winter storms and heat waves.

Its as if the US economy is thunderstruck! US housing starts collapsed in January as Producer Prices soared. NOT a good sign for the US economy. After single-family home starts plunged in December, analysts did not expect much of a bounce back in January as rates remain high and some regions were affected by weather. Analysts were way off. Housing Starts puked 14.8% MoM in January (vs unchanged exp), but December’s 4.3% MoM decline was revised up to a 3.3% MoM rise. Building Permits also tumbled, down 1.5% MoM (vs +1.3% exp) and well down from the +1.8% MoM in...

On Thursday, special counsel David Weiss charged a former FBI informant who claimed President Biden was bribed by Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma. The indictment claims the informant lied about Biden's alleged role in the business dealings. Alexander Smirnov, 43, was arrested on Thursday at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, per CNN. Smirnov has been accused in the indictment that his story to the FBI "was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise unremarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred but at a later date than he claimed and for the purpose of pitching Burisma...

The prime suspect in the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann has appeared in court in Germany in a trial for unrelated sex offences. Christian Brückner has gone on trial in Braunschweig facing three charges of rape and two of sexual abuse, dating back to between 2000 and 2017 in Portugal. He is already serving a seven-year jail sentence for rape. Brückner has never been charged with Madeleine McCann's disappearance. He has denied any involvement. Friday's public appearance was his first in court since he was named as the main suspect in the McCann case four years ago. However, the unrelated...

The Wall Street Journal opinion section drew a pile of angry tweets when it ran an article by Steven Stalinsky, executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute. They fixated on the headline and didn’t seem to read the article. The headline was “Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital: Imams and politicians in the Michigan city side with Hamas against Israel and Iran against the U.S.” The subhead here merely described the article’s contents, that the city’s Muslim leaders and political leaders sided against Israel and America. The angry response has to be the words “jihad capital.” Somehow, you...

On Thursday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) said that if you don’t have metal detectors, “then how can we ever fully be safe in a city, a state, and, perhaps, a country where we know that people are freely walking around with AR-15s, with modified handguns with switches, with any number of issues, or frankly, even just your old classic revolver?” And “If we know that one can act with impunity with that, then it’s hard to say we’ll ever be fully as safe as I think we’d like to idealize ourselves to...

CHATTANOOGA, Friday, Feb. 12. Gen. LOGAN, left Huntsville, Ala., some days ago with the Fifteenth Army Corps, to act in connection with Gen. SHERMAN. The cavalry expedition under GRIERSON and SMITH crossed the country from Corinth, moving southwardly. It is understood that these columns are intended to act in conjunction -- the one to attack, and the other cut off POLK's retreat and disperse the cavalry of FORREST, reported as scouring Central and Northern Mississippi. There is no reason to doubt, though beyond this enterprise the combinations are merely conjectural, but that a great flank movement on JOHNSTON's army is...

"Don't worry my MUSLIMS brothers I am pass the threat phase. I'm in planning mode." A mentally unstable leftist shot 3 Muslims in Burlington, VT and every political figure, including Biden and Kamala, and the entire media falsely claimed it was “Islamophobia” and “anti-Palestinianism” until it turned out that the shooter supported Hamas. A mentally unstable woman walks into a pro-Israel church with a rifle that says “Palestine” on it after appearing in a hijab and there’s uncomfortable fidgeting. The police claimed that she had “antisemitic writings”, they neglected to mention the overt support for Islamic terrorism. Moreno’s Telegram posts...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade began their romantic relationship several years ago, a witness testified during a hearing late Monday morning. The revelation-like allegation came by way of testimony from Robin Yeartie, a former employee of the district attorney’s office, who said she was long “best friends” with Willis after the pair met in college. Yeartie’s explosive testimony was a marked and formal loss for the state — resulting in the court flat-out denying the state’s motion to quash a subpoena for Wade himself to testify in the hearing. ... The witness testified that...

"She set up her own perjury trap and walked into it. She is the dumbest prosecutor I've ever seen in all my time as a lawyer," said Mike Davis, Article III Project founder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During a hearing in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, dramatic testimony was given by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and the DA’s former lover, as Willis claimed she was "not aware" that she had to disclose her romantic relationship with Wade to the county. A hearing was held on Thursday regarding Willis’ relationship with Wade and the...
