The Crimson Tide play Duke (at a neutral site) and host New Mexico State, Southern Mississippi and Western Carolina for their four non-conference games this season. That has led to criticism that they are playing too soft a schedule. During an appearance Friday on “Golic and Wingo,” Saban shared his side. The Crimson Tide coach says he has long advocated for Power 5 teams to only play each other. He also says the reason Alabama struggles to schedule strong non-conference opponents is because teams don’t want to play the Crimson Tide. Furthermore, he says Alabama ends up playing neutral site...

At least one gunman opened fire Sunday at Northern California’s Gilroy Garlic Festival, killing at least three and injuring 15, before being fatally shot by police stationed nearby who responded in less than a minute after the initial shot was fired, a police official said. The shooting rampage began at 5:41 p.m. on the north side of the festival, Chief of Police Scot Smithee said at a press conference late Sunday. Smithee said the gunman gained access to the festival by cutting through a fence near a creek area. He said some witnesses reported a second suspect, but police could...

I have known Al for 25 years. Went to fights with him & Don King, always got along well. He “loved Trump!” He would ask me for favors often. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops!

It’s tough being a white guy these days, especially when you combine being literally responsible for every evil and injustice on the planet that’s ever occurred at any time or place in all of human history with bearing the Atlas-like burden of everything from global warming to micro-aggressions against college snowflakes. And then I’m apparently supposed to somehow feel “guilty” about being at least the indirect cause of all that carnage. Should I feel guilty about not feeling guilty? Does eating ribeyes and sleeping like a baby at night make me a “bad” person? Am I irredeemable because I don’t seek...

Vauxhall has drawn up plans to shut production in Ellesmere Port after Brexit in a move that threatens around 1,000 UK jobs. The car giant's owner PSA has earmarked a site in southern Europe to build the Astra and Opel Astra if trade between the UK and EU becomes too expensive. It is yet another blow to workers at the Cheshire plant, where three rounds of job cuts have been announced in the last three years (though not necessarily linked to Brexit). A host of car giants including Ford and Jaguar Land Rover have already scaled back production in the...

At the warehouses, robots will help humans pack about 600 grocery items per hour Kroger is teaming up with British online grocer Ocado Group to build as many as 20 automated grocery warehouses to help grocery retailer accelerate its e-commerce operation. The move coincides with a surge of consumer interest in online shopping. While only a small percentage of consumers currently do their grocery shopping online, interest in doing so is poised to grow over the next few years. Under its partnership with Ocado, Kroger is building fulfillment centers across the U.S. where robots will help human workers pack roughly...

Donald Trump is the odds-on fave to win reelection, and the Republicans can take back the House and keep the Senate if they aren’t stupid and incompetent – meaning it’s far from a done deal. But the Democrats are in a terrible position. The just and satisfying utter humiliation of crusty establishment hack Bob Mueller left them without a lot of good options going forward, since not being leftist idiots is obviously off the table. What do they do now that the entire soft coup hoax is a heap of garbage smoldering in the dumpster of American politics? Do they stick...

Several Democratic donors were among those charged Tuesday in a federal crackdown on a nationwide fraudulent college admissions conspiracy. "Dozens of individuals involved in a nationwide conspiracy that facilitated cheating on college entrance exams and the admission of students to elite universities as purported athletic recruits," according to the Department of Justice. Documents unsealed Tuesday in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts show fraud extending to Yale, Georgetown, and other American universities. Parents paid William Rick Singer, owner of The Edge College & Career Network, LLC, to ensure their children's admissions to university, according to court...

Why do patriots love their country? Like love of oneself and family, love of country is a natural emotion. From a rational standpoint, what is not to like and love about the greatest force for good, the US, in world history? I find pride in American citizenship. I am not the subject of a king, nor a slave in an islamic or authoritarian hell-hole, nor a proletarian ruled through fear by communist party thugs. To be a citizen is to be equal before law of our own making, not through direct democracy, but by representatives, our agents who craft law...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) posted a video Saturday bragging about how he had escorted an eight-and-a-half months pregnant migrant from Mexico into the U.S. because the woman allegedly was having a difficult pregnancy. Wyden does not tell viewers that the woman is a Mexican citizen and that she brought her husband and 3-year-old son with her across the border.

AUSTIN—The largest donors on the left will be given a private briefing on investigations into President Donald Trump by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) during a secretive Texas gathering this week, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon. The Democracy Alliance, a group of millionaire and billionaire funders of the liberal movement, is holding its Spring Partner Retreat and Strategy Conference at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, where security has been patrolling the meeting areas since Wednesday. As always at the group's secretive meetings, all programming is off the record and closed to members...

Drew Grant, 33, who had legally changed his name from Andrew Golden, died Saturday night when his Honda CRV collided head-on with a Chevrolet Tahoe on Highway 167, about 100 miles north of Little Rock Ark., local TV-station KAIT reported. The driver of the second vehicle, 59-year-old Daniel Petty was also killed in the crash and three other people, including two adults and a child, were injured and taken to hospitals, State Police said. Cops didn’t say what vehicle they were in, how badly they were hurt or who was responsible for the crash. Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler...

When it came time to protect United States, America’s Arab allies and the State of Israel against the threat posed by Iran, Rep. Jerold Nadler chose party loyalty over the national interest. He was one of the sad examples of a member of Congress who took his supporters for granted because he is confident his seat is safe. As the warnings of the critics of the Iran nuclear deal are shown to be correct with each Iranian violation of the world’s trust, Nadler’s vote becomes more troublesome as it becomes more evident he has joined the president as an enabler...

President Zelensky demands that the interior minister sack the police chief 's driver who violated traffic rules and then called for armed "help" to deal with patrol cops who dared to stop his car. A bodycam video that captured an incident involving a driver of chief of Dnipropetrovsk region's Police Department Gen. Vitaliy Hluhoveria and patrol police officers who stopped the general's car for a traffic violation has gone viral in Ukraine in recent days.

In the midst of the fervor surrounding the 2020 presidential race, MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance claimed the upcoming contest could be the "last free and fair election" the United States ever sees, due to an unspecified foreign threat looking to "punish" President Trump. "I am not joking when I say this could be the last free and fair election in American history," he said on "AM Joy" Saturday. "It may not be a free and fair election. "Look, even players like Iran who have also a good cyber warfare capability, they have an initiative, an interest to make this election...

In a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, many Americans reported that they are dissatisfied with President Trump and find his behavior grossly offensive. Yet Trump appears on course for reelection. Why? First, a good economy. Presidents who preside over a strong economy are favored to be reelected. Second, Trump is a master at gaining media attention and dominating narrative. Reality TV gave Trump an understanding of what plays well on broadcast media. His unfiltered tweets lay out his agenda, attack opponents and directly communicate with the national audience. Third, presidential elections are determined by state electoral votes, not by popular vote....
