Wrap up warm if you're heading to Target Field in Minneapolis -- home of MLB's Minnesota Twins -- for the 2022 Winter Classic on Saturday. The NHL has staged 32 modern outdoor games, but Saturday's match between the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues maybe the coldest yet, with sub-zero temperatures forecast. The high temperature on Saturday is only supposed to reach -2 degrees, but it will be even colder when the game begins at 7 p.m. ET with a frozen temperature of -5 and the wind chill hovering around -20 degrees. And it could go down

All 38,000 seats have been sold. At first, fans were not going to be allowed to bring in blankets for security reasons, but apparently, authorities heard enough Uf-da's and dropped that restriction. Man-made global warming will have to take Standing Room Only at tonight's game. Happy New Year from Minnesota (N)ice!

This must be a lie. We all know that global warming has made this kind of thing impossible. Besides, being mentioned on CNN automatically makes it suspect.

One benefit for the fans in Minneapolis is that it’s too cold for the jungle tribes to assault and carjack in the parking lot.

Heating the ice? Why do I think this is more CNN Fake News? And what about all that global warming from the SUVs and NORMAL power plants? Please explain how this "warming" causes it to be so freaking cold....show your work, use extra pages, if necessary.

38k hardy fans. Sounds fun! The other event that might be a blast is some local race car track having a winter event in the snow and ice.

Yes #3, the ice needs to be heated because of the extreme outside cold temps. The ideal ice temperature is between 22° and 24°F (anything lower can result in excessive chipping and breakage).

China kept silent Monday over growing concern for tennis star Peng Shuai, who has not been heard from since accusing a powerful politician of sexual assault -- the first time the #MeToo movement has struck at the top echelons of the ruling Communist Party. The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) called Sunday for Peng's claims to be "investigated fully, fairly, transparently and without censorship", and current and former players have taken to social media to express fear for the safety of the former Wimbledon and French Open doubles champion.

Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin was fond of claiming on the campaign trail that he would end Terry McAuliffe’s 43-year political career. He did so Tuesday night in emphatic fashion, after McAuliffe ran a tone-deaf, smug campaign in a blue state. (snip) We should not forget that McAuliffe’s role in Virginia politics was mostly due to his close friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton. McAuliffe was co-chairman of the former president’s 1996 reelection campaign, chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001-05, and chairman of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential campaign.

The criminal trial began Thursday of a 100-year-old man who was a Nazi SS guard at a concentration camp during World War II -- who faces charges of being an accessory to thousands of deaths there over a period of three years. The man, identified as Josef S., faces about 3,500 counts. German prosecutors say he aided mass murder at the Sachsenhausen camp between 1942 and 1945. The man didn't speak during the hearing and his attorney said he wouldn't reveal personal details.

In just five years, the percentage of Republicans with at least some trust in national news organizations has been cut in half – dropping from 70% in 2016 to 35% this year. This decline is fueling the continued widening of the partisan gap in trust of the media. Nearly eight-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (78%) say they have “a lot” or “some” trust in the information that comes from national news organizations – 43 percentage points higher than Republicans and Republican leaners (35%) – according to a new Pew Research Center survey conducted June 14-27, 2021.

Vancouver, WA — Nearly 50 years after skyjacker D.B.

Abbott, House Speaker Dade Phelan and State Rep. James White are all named as defendants in the case.

White people infected with COVID in New York State—the hardest hit state in the country—are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments.

Jacob Lang has been awaiting trial without bail in the D.C. jail for his involvement in the January 6 riot at the Capitol for almost a year, along with many others who have been charged with crimes connected to that day. With no trial date in sight, he and his fellow inmates languish in a jail they say is inhumane. The J6 prisoners’ complaints about filthy conditions and inhumane treatment resulted in a surprise inspection that found everything they were saying was true. As a result, over 400 prisoners were moved to different facilities—none of them J6 prisoners. Lang has been in contact with PJ Media and several other media sources

Roberts made the comments as part of his annual report on the federal judiciary released Friday evening.

Federal judges and Supreme Court justices are required under a federal ethics law to recuse themselves from cases where they have a personal

He has a hard time putting a sentence together. I think everyone gets nervous listening to him talk, he's going to mess up. What we need always, and especially now, is someone who exudes confidence and competence. Someone who sets a reassuring tone.
