The National Football League has done nothing to recover during the off season from it’s miserable popularity ratings that are now at the lowest ever. Rocked by the issues of players taking a knee during the playing of the National Anthem, overly long games, and scandalous players, just 35 percent say they have a favorable view of “America’s sport.” According to an Economist/YouGov poll taken May 27-29 another 47 percent have an “unfavorable” view of the NFL. What's more, only 15 percent called the NFL a "top interest," and 37 percent said that they are "Not at all interested" in the games. Many teams are already in early training camp ...

From Bye Bye Birdie to The Baby-Sitters Club to Mean Girls and everything in between, the cultural history of teen and tween girls and the telephone is long and storied. But how do the girls of today use the phone when it is no longer a landline but rather a back-pocket accessory? Generation Z, the first generation of digital natives, has a relationship with phones and the internet like no other generation before. Notably, it is the first generation to learn to navigate an iPhone at the same age they learn to walk. While many say the proliferation of loneliness and unhappiness among this rising generation is phone-related, it’s safe to say the phone is not ...
The Conservative Drug War Creed

If there is one thing that most conservatives have in common it is their support for the federal government’s war on drugs. Although conservatives claim to believe in certain principles that libertarians would likewise hold to, their support of the drug war shows that they don’t really believe in them at all. Here is the conservative drug war creed. I believe in the Constitution, but I also believe in the unconstitutional federal war on drugs.I believe in a smaller federal government, but still support a federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).I believe in federalism, but not when it comes to the federal war on drugs.I believe in free markets, but not when it comes to a free ...

And if other countries respond with similar tariffs, the U.S. could lose more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs.A new study says the American automobile industry will lose 195,000 jobs over the next three years if President Donald Trump presses forward with a plan to impose 25 percent tariffs on imported cars and auto parts. That's on top of the existing tariffs on steel and aluminum, which are already forecast to whack automakers and other manufacturing jobs. According to the study, which was released by the D.C.-based Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and auto parts would cause production in those industries to fall by about 1.5 ...

Your childhood is illegal now.When you look back at your childhood, you might have fond memories of throwing around little "Bang Snap" noisemakers with your friends. Or possibly at your friends, if you were that kind of kid. You might have even brought some to school to share and have fun with during recess. I know I did. But now we live in a world of school panics. A 10-year-old fourth grader in the Henry County School District in Georgia bought a handful of these little noisemakers to his bus stop, then had three left over in his backpack when he entered Flippen Elementary School. Another student told the principal, who searched his backpack and found them. They didn't ...

Trump orders "immediate steps" to save money-losing coal and nuclear power plants.Who you gonna call when your business is being outcompeted and you're going bust? The feds, of course. President Donald Trump obliged his cronies in the electric power and coal industries today by ordering the Department of Energy (DOE) to take "immediate steps" to save the companies from going bankrupt. Those immediate steps will result in consumers having to pay higher power bills. Back in March, the bankrupt nuclear and coal-fired electric power generator FirstEnergy asked the DOE to invoke section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act and declare that an "emergency condition" ...

Swimming pools have opened, but several children in the metro-Detroit area don’t know how to swim and are at risk of drowning. According to USA Swimming 70 percent of African American and 60 percent of hispanic children don’t know how to swim. Nearly ten people drown each day. The Center for Disease Control says African American children 5 to 19 years old drown in swimming pools at rates five and a half times higher than those of white children. Alexis Townsend is the Aquatic Director at the Royal Oak YMCA, she’s also African-American. When she was a child she nearly drowned in a pool. Now she teaches other children how to swim. “Some say, oh you know how to swim? ...

If I have brain cancer, I don’t ask my dentist what I should do. If my car has a problem, I don’t seek help from a plumber! Why do you think the public cares what a football player thinks about politics? If we want to know about football, then depending on the information we seek, we might consult with you, but even a quarterback doesn’t seek advice on playing his position from a defensive tackle! You seem to have this over inflated view of yourselves, thinking because you enjoy working on such a large scale stage, that somehow your opinion about everything matters. The NFL realizes the importance of its “image” so it has rules that specify the clothes and insignia ...

In what was otherwise a solid jobs report – one which Donald Trump may or may not have leaked in advance – in which the establishment survey reported that a higher than expected 223K jobs were added at a time when numbers below 200K are expected for an economy that is allegedly without slack, the biggest surprise was not in the Establishment survey, but the household, where the unemployment rate tumbled once more, sliding to a new 18 year low of 3.8%, even as the participation rate declined once again, as a result of a stagnant labor force, which was virtually unchanged (161.527MM in April to 161.539MM in May, even as the total civilian non-inst population rose by 182K to ...

I can no more imagine being afraid of liberty than I can imagine a Canada goose being afraid of heights. But that’s just me. I know many people are scared out of their minds at the thought of liberty. They fight against it every way they can think of, and work hard to try to make others as fearful as they are. They misrepresent liberty. They define it incorrectly. They dream up all sorts of “what if” scenarios to justify being afraid. They have a right to feel as they do, but… They are wrong. If they stopped at having feelings, no one would be hurt but themselves. Yet they never do. They are so cowardly that they use the aggression of the ...

If you were to find some place in the middle of nowhere in the woods, where no one was living, on land no one was using, which types of people would leave you in peace, and which would feel justified intruding into your life and initiating violence against you? If you happened to be anywhere inside the ~3,800,000 square miles claimed by the U.S. ruling class as its territory, a grand total of zero Democrats and Republicans would advocate leaving you in peace. They might differ in what they want you forced to fund, and which of your behaviors they want regulated and coercively controlled, but NONE of them would actually condone leaving you in peace. None. But guess what. Neither would ...
When the police embrace criminal behavior: A South Carolina anti-drug police unit admitted it conducts illegal no-knock raids

Radley Balko reports in the Washington Post: In 2006, the Supreme Court ruled in Hudson v. Michigan that evidence seized during raids in which police violate the “knock and announce” requirement is not subject to the exclusionary rule. That rule says that evidence seized during a search that violates the Fourth Amendment can’t be used against a suspect at trial. It’s meant to deter illegal searches. Writing for a 5-to-4 majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said that although the knock-and-announce rule is indeed part of the Fourth Amendment, excluding evidence from raids in which police failed to abide by it was too extreme of a remedy ...

This is a rather creepy story out of Florida (where else) which deserves a bit more attention. Four years ago, Florida Sheriff’s Deputy Christopher Newman shot and killed Gregory Vaughn Hill Jr. while responding with his partner to reports of a disturbance involving loud music. Since Hill was black and Newman is white, an investigation was immediately convened with the usual media focus on possible motivations involving racism. A grand jury was convened to examine the case and they opted not to indict Newman, placing nearly all the blame on Hill for the result of the encounter. That led to a wrongful death suit being filed by Hill’s family in civil court. That case drew to a ...

A supersonic UFO shaped like a Tic Tac stalked a U.S. aircraft carrier for days before vanishing into thin air, according to a bombshell Pentagon report. The object, which could reportedly hover in midair and make itself invisible, bamboozled U.S. Navy fighter pilots during a training exercise in the Pacific Ocean. The leaked report, obtained by Las Vegas' KLAS tv station, tells how the USS Princeton, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, had multiple radar contacts with what it dubbed a Anomalous Aerial Vehicle (AAV).

During the Trump campaign, I wrote a book on the influence of Frank Gaffney, the fringe neocon who has made a career pulling fire alarms, telling us Islam will destroy western civilization and enslave us to Sharia law. Earlier this week Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton installed Fred Fleitz as the National Security Council’s executive secretary and chief of staff. Fleitz worked for Bolton at the State Department during the Bush administration. He is a senior staff member at the Center for Security Policy (CPS), a hardline neocon think tank founded by Gaffney. Its raison d’etre is taking out the mullahs in Iran, who are invariably described as ...
Georgia Kidnapped This Boy Because His Parents Used Marijuana to Stop His Seizures

Although the state recognizes cannabis as a treatment for epilepsy, it says letting your son use it is "reckless conduct."Georgia recognizes cannabis as a treatment for epilepsy and notionally lets certified patients possess up to 20 fluid ounces of "low THC oil," an extract that contains a negligible amount of marijuana's main psychoactive component but a substantial amount of cannabidiol (CBD), the ingredient that reduces seizures. That privilege is mainly theoretical, however, since there is no legal way to produce or obtain cannabis extract in Georgia. Given that glaring defect in the state's medical marijuana law, it is easy to understand why Matthew and ...

He hoped while in Albania for a few months to do some repair work on a home he still owned there, and possibly to look for another home for his family in his old age. Given facts about the Albanian banking and finance system and the advantages of cash there, he chose to turn his life ...

Only one more state needs to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to finally get it ratified. By AJ Willingham, CNN Updated 9:41 PM ET, Thu May 31, 2018 (CNN)This week Illinois lawmakers approved the Equal Rights Amendment, a long-proposed addition to the United States Constitution that would ensure equal rights to all Americans regardless of sex. You would think that 230 years after ratifying its Constitution, the US would have some sort of federal protection like this enshrined in its supreme law. But the ERA, which states that "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex," has been languishing in ...

Donald Trump is no stranger to hyperbole, or the bellicose and boisterous showmanship of a New York City salesman – after all, he is the CEO in Chief – but even his most ardent supporters may be scratching their heads today. Trump has been unapologetically proud of being an American, as are many of us here in the greatest nation to ever have existed. The problem lies in the left’s willingness to distort this pride as some sort of xenophobic disaster waiting to happen in which Trump becomes literally Hitler – an allegation so predictable that it boggles the mind as to how it could exist at all. It’s a sad reality, in fact, that the left ...
