Colorado is experiencing negative population growth. You'll never guess where they're moving to and why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=277ihTgRcC8&list=WL&index=60&ab_channel=CBSColorado

No. 3 TCU toppled No. 2 Michigan 51-45 for the biggest upset in College Football Playoff history and one of the most exhilarating semifinal games the format has seen since it made its debut in 2014. The Horned Frogs were eight-point underdogs at kickoff of the 2022 Fiesta Bowl, but the same DNA that helped them overcome more than a handful of second-half deficits during the regular season has the Frogs now sitting 6-1 in one-score games after eliminating the previously undefeated Wolverines.

Tension from a sentencing hearing in a murder case at the Summit County courthouse spilled into the hallway on Tuesday leading to a fight between two families. Several minutes after Judge Christine Croce sentenced Kavon Jackson to 18-years-to-life in prison for killing William Howell on a METRO RTA bus, families from both sides began yelling at each other and throwing punches in the third-floor hallway.

Hello All - It's with great regret that I inform this community that this site will be closing within 48 hours. I have been threatened with "Consumer Action in Superior Court" due to allowing people to freely debate COVID-19 in the WRP forum. Clearly, this site cannot operate the way it has for the last 20 years in the era of COVID-19. I'm not going to get into the details here, but I'm just a guy with a hobby horse site, and I can't afford to put my family at further risk because COVID Nazis want to force people to...

Major League Baseball is scheduled to play its 2021 All-Star Game this summer at Truist Park, located in Atlanta, Georgia. Yet with less than a week to go until Opening Day, the MLB Players Association appears open to discussing whether or not the event should be relocated in response to recent legislative developments in the state. MLB Players Association director Tony Clark told the Boston Globe that the union body is "very much aware" of the bill signed by Georgia governor Brian Kemp on Thursday that overhauled the state's election laws. The bill includes "new restrictions on voting by mail...

OK. The Democrats stole the presidency. They're doing everything possible to steal the Senate. But they were apparently confident that they would win the House without tomfoolery as it appears from this graphic: https://edition.cnn.com/election/2020/results/house that the GOP will fall just five House votes short of a majority. Although CNN shows a 222-209 margin, the four "undecided seats are all either won or will be won by Republicans so it's really 222-213. 218 is needed to have a majority. What might it take to get five Democrats to switch parties? Remember Jeff Van Drew (NJ) switched sides and still won re-election....

To see where Trump and Biden are regarding the Electoral College and the race for 270 and the 2020 presidency, let's use the 2016 results as a starting point. Trump could, in theory, concede every state that went to Hillary in 2016 and spot him 233 electoral votes. For those who want to plot this on a map, these are: California (55 EV) New York (29) Illinois (20) New Jersey (14) Virginia (13) Washington (12) Massachusetts (11) Maryland (10) Minnesota (10) Colorado (9) Oregon (7) Connecticut (7) Nevada (6) New Mexico (5) Hawaii (4) New Hampshire (4) Rhode Island (4)...

Rush Limbaugh just announced at the end his radio show that Corn Pop is dead! Passed away in 2016. That's a damn shame! We should have a memorial service. I have some questions to aks. Was Corn Pop murdered by the Obamas? Or was it the Clintons? Did he ever meet Seth Rich? What did he know and when did he know it? Was he receiving money from China or Ukraine? Was he raising Hunter Biden's bastard kids? Did Corn Pop know Tara Reade? Trump must not be connected to this or MSDNC would have already reported it.

One of my former churches is beginning a series based on a book called "White Awake" by Daniel Hill. (https://www.ivpress.com/white-awake-ebook) The book is published by InterVarsity Press (IVP), a respected evangelical Christian publisher. A blurb at the site contains the following: Hill began a journey of understanding his own white identity. Today he is an active participant in addressing and confronting racial and systemic injustices. And in this compelling and timely book, he shows you the seven stages to expect on your own path to cultural awakening. It's crucial to understand both personal and social realities in the areas of...

Next time you encounter a BLM member, ask them a very serious question: The Prophet Muhammad owned slaves! In our culturally-sensitive times, shouldn't organizations like BLM be picketing mosques? Shouldn't they demand statues and buildings named for the Prophet Muhammad be removed or renamed? Here's an excerpt from the BBC acknowledging this fact: "The Prophet Muhammad did not try to abolish slavery, and bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves himself. But he insisted that slave owners treat their slaves well and stressed the virtue of freeing slaves." and "writers argue that by regulating slavery the Prophet gave his authority to...

With most of the Western world forced into #stayathome quarantine over the COVID pandemic, could we see a new 'baby boom' this winter, nine months after the shutdown that covered most of the Americas and Europe? Young men and women sheltered in place with "nothing to do" has always seemed to be a recipe for an increase in sexual activity. With 315,000 estimated worldwide deaths (source: New York Times) which seem to be largely the elderly and health-compromised, will the world be quickly replacing the lost with toddlers in 7-10 months? The answer is likely "yes" but not necessarily so....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZxRPdlozIA The commentator illustrates international stories that show 70% of COVID deaths are men but the reaction by leftists is still about how hard this is on women.

Pastor Russell Schwarz of the Fellowship Bible Church in San Antonio, TX is calling for a day of fasting and prayer to combat the coronavirus and ask for the Lord's intervention in this world crisis. Here is his email: ============================== IT IS TIME TO FAST AND PRAY!! "'Even now,' declares the Lord, 'return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.' Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." - Joel 2:12-13 I am calling on all to join...

If we're honest with ourselves, there are some things around the house we know we ought to do but we tell ourselves we never have the time. While many of us are under stay-at-home orders, now is the time to handle projects to fight boredom that might have always been put off until "someday when I have the time". Don't come out of this forced staycation wishing you had done some of these because you'll probably never have a better time to do them:

As a tribute to Rush, I am asking his fans to remember their favorite update theme songs. He mostly stopped the use of these during the Bush43 and Obama years due to music royalty issues but here were some of my favorites:

I've always thought the only way to get the Longhorns and Aggies on the football field again was through a bowl game. To the uninitiated, Texas and Texas A&M had a bitter rivalry for more than a century but A&M switched to the better-paying Southeastern Conference and Texas has refused to schedule a football game against them ever since. Accusations have been hurled in both directions but the most salient stems from the day ESPN showed up in Austin and asked the Longhorns if they wanted their own national sports channel. Well, who wouldn't? Texas gets paid zillions of Disney...

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Luke Logan missed a 35-yard extra point after Mississippi receiver Elijah Moore was penalized for celebrating a touchdown by crawling and pretending to urinate like a dog, and Mississippi State ended up with a 21-20 victory Thursday night in the 116th Egg Bowl. Ole Miss (4-8, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) pulled within a point with 4 seconds remaining on Matt Corral's 2-yard pass to Moore, but Logan hooked the extra point after Moore cost the Rebels 15 yards. "That's not who we are. We've been a disciplined team all year, and so just disappointed that happened," coach Matt...

I heard this in passing on Rush's show and am not a 24/7 subscriber so I am unable to verify this through his app or website or even know if he sourced it from another website or publication. I'm not trying to confirm what he said, only hoping to confirm the truth of what he said.
