New York Post September 7, 2020 As Kentucky Derby Day finally arrived in Louisville, Ky., hundreds of armed militia members marched through the city’s downtown to confront Black Lives Matter supporters who have been demonstrating for 101 straight days. A crowd of self-identified “patriots” carrying long guns — some waving American flags, others waving Trump flags — marched from a parking lot to the downtown area, where another group was calling for action in the Breonna Taylor case. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was shot dead when police burst into her home in the middle of the night…
Gowdy assumes no more Durham probe indictments By Talia Kaplan Fox News September 7, 2020 Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy told “Sunday Morning Futures” that he assumes there will be no additional indictments arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty last month in federal court to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from Durham’s probe, but Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor and chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said not to assume that more indictments…
NBA Playoffs Down 27% Despite Mark Cuban, Media Spin-Job OutKick September 6, 2020 The NBA’s two-year ratings tank just took tanking up another notch. As pointed out last night, year-over-year, the first round of the playoffs was down an eye-popping 27%. Furthermore, the first round’s 1.94 million average is down 40% from two seasons ago, the last time LeBron James participated in the playoffs. Bizarrely, NBA ratings were the top sports topic on Twitter Thursday. For the first time since the NFL’s 2016 decline, sports media added the ratings beat to its fading arsenal. Along with spin-master Mark…
Democrats are leading in the polls. That means it’s time for them to panic. By Alex Seitz-Wald NBC News September 6, 2020 WASHINGTON — The summer is coming to the close of an even-numbered year and Democrats are up in the polls, which means it’s time for them to freak out about the upcoming election. Democrats are nothing if not a self-doubting bunch, and the 2016 election left such a psychic scar that many in the party are now conditioned to assume they’ll somehow blow it again and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Nominee Joe Biden…

Judge strikes down DeVos plan to boost pandemic relief for private schools By Michael Stratford POLITICO September 5, 2020 A federal judge on Friday ruled that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ effort to boost the amount of emergency pandemic relief that flows to private school students is illegal and struck down the policy. U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, an appointee of President Donald Trump, ruled that DeVos ran afoul of the CARES Act when she required public schools to send a greater share of pandemic assistance to private school students than is typically required under federal law. The judge…

By so doing, the American people’s interests will be paramount. In recent months, our brave law enforcement from all quarters have literally been under attack, with radical leftists looting, burning stealing, maiming and even assaulting and killing law enforcement officers, as well as innocent citizens. These…
Duke basketball: Have Blue Devils already landed top 2021 recruit? Ball Durham September 4, 2020 The mere dispute over who is No. 1 highlights Duke basketball’s 2021 reign. A few months back, Bleacher Report lead NBA scout Jonathan Wasserman argued that Archbishop Stepinac (N.Y.) small forward AJ Griffin might be the top longterm prospect in his class. In other words, the first 2021 Duke basketball commit’s game could translate to the NBA better than that of any other rising senior. This week, 247Sports director of basketball scouting Jerry Meyer asserted that O’Dea (Wash.) power forward Paolo Banchero instead…
