It’s hard to believe that the college baseball season is already starting to wind down. We’re at the last weekend of the regular season, but postseason excitement is around the corner. Conference tournaments, regionals, super-regionals, and the College World Series will make the next five or six weeks fun. I don’t know what kind of postseason Grand Canyon University is in for at 30-22 overall and 13-8 in Western Athletic Conference play. But one player is getting attention for his selfless actions off the field. Senior infielder Eli Paton is batting .281 on the season and has hit nine homers, but he’s giving back

There are many admirable young men like Eli Paton but the press would prefer to print negative articles. Best of luck to you, Eli Paton and thanks to your family for raising such a fine young man

I find it encouraging, now, that bad things are news. Because what's most common is least news-worthy. So in a general way we can infer that goodness is more common. This story is cool; I just wish it was accompanied by a pic or two of their work.

The new head of Anthony Fauci’s former institute has accrued an extraordinary amount of research money and power in recent weeks despite a long career conducting just the sort of high-risk virology that President Donald Trump’s health leaders have vowed to stamp out. (Snip) Taubenberger’s most famous experiments involved what his lab’s website refers to as “archaevirology”— reviving the 1918 Spanish flu that killed up to 100 million people from a body preserved in permafrost. Taubenberger has also participated in experiments to splice genes from 1918 flu with contemporary H1N1 viruses.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) carried out a sting operation across the sanctuary state of Massachusetts, arresting several illegal alien gang members and other violent offenders, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. This week, United States Attorney Leah Foley issued a warning to sanctuary politicians in Massachusetts that those seeking to interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations would be prosecuted. “The interference with ICE operations around Massachusetts has been disturbing, to say the least,” Foley said in a statement: This conduct poses significant public and officer safety risks. It is conduct that should be vilified rather than glorified. I will not stand idly by if any public official,

You may have relatives who have it, you know, the ones who start frothing at the mouth with anger if they hear the name “Donald Trump.” Liberals who go from 0 to 90 in .5 seconds flat if they see an image of Orange Man Bad. I even have several neighbors who might spontaneously combust if they ever saw any of my columns. There’s a name for this delusional psychological condition that conservatives use frequently: TDS, or "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Although it’s not officially considered (yet) to be an actual condition that a doctor could diagnose, and it is highly unlikely to appear in any medical literature,

The Democrats just seem to blunder from gaffe to mistake to screw-up to complete Charlie Foxtrots these days. This, at the moment, is a political party that can't win for losing, and when you see who they seem to look to for leadership, ranging from a loudmouth former bartender from Brooklyn to a noodle-armed loudmouth from Florida, it hardly comes as a surprise. Notice the common characteristic there? There is an old saying that goes, "An empty vessel makes the most noise," and if we apply that truism, today's Democratic Party sounds like 10,000 dirty hippies pounding with wooden clubs on the sides of an empty oil tanker.

Last week's dust-up at the New Jersey Delaney Hall detention center, where Immigration & Customs Enforcement is holding some of the worst of the worst of illegal alien criminals, gang members, drug dealers, and murderers, is beginning to result in some consequences. Not for the illegal aliens, mind you, although those goblins will face consequences soon enough. No, in this case, we're talking about consequences for one of the New Jersey politicians who tried to force their way into Delaney Hall on the pretext of "oversight." One of them, LaMonica McIver, is now facing possible federal charges, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving loudmouth.

One of the biggest stories to come out of Washington, D.C. in a while is the books, most of them written by mainstream media types, with the help of various assorted insiders and aides, that are "revealing" (now that it is safe) just how bad Joe Biden's mental state was becoming during his four years in the White House. Add to that the number of Americans who thought that at 82, Joe Biden was just too old to run for reelection. Unfortunately, old age sneaks up on all of us. But don't tell that to several members of Congress, who are older than Joe Biden and refuse to quit.

If this week in politics has taught us anything, it's this: every Democrat hoping to be elected or reelected to higher office in the next few election cycles needs to come clean about Joe Biden's cognitive decline and any role they may have played in the cover up. Yes, it's scandalous that the media committed its worst malpractice yet by gaslighting the American people about Biden's quite obvious deterioration before and during his time in office, but Democrats also need to fess up about the role they, individually and as a party, played in lying to the nation. So far, all we're getting from the likes of Democrat Party leaders

The media and Democrats are in a full-blown meltdown over a luxury Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar to be used as a temporary Air Force One and could one day be used for Donald Trump’s presidential library. CNN, MSNBC, and liberal pundits are framing it as some sort of foreign bribery scheme, with some even suggesting national security is at risk. But according to Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), there’s a key detail they’re all conveniently leaving out—and it turns the entire narrative upside down. Mullin appeared on CNN to challenge the hysteria, telling Jake Tapper that the reaction is wildly overblown.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president. Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year. The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.

You’re right. It is about need. And if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump? James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47” “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

Walmart said Thursday it plans to raise prices on some goods beginning later this month, in response to President Trump’s tariffs. “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is expected to say during a Thursday earnings call, according to prepared remarks obtained by several media outlets. The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to lower their respective reciprocal tariffs for 90 days as they look to end a bruising trade war

If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and
