More Americans Now Like European Sport
by Nate Jackson: It wasn’t that long ago that baseball was considered America’s national pastime. Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio, Sandy Koufax, Hank Aaron, Cal Ripken — we could go on and on with its celebrated stars. And that’s not to mention today’s stars, like Clayton Kershaw, Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout and others. In recent decades, of course, football has largely eclipsed baseball as America’s favorite sport. But ever since the national anthem became a politicized source of ungrateful discontent among the NFL’s overpaid players, American enthusiasm for the gridiron contest has waned, too.

Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio, Sandy Koufax, Hank Aaron, Cal Ripken — we could go on and on with its celebrated stars. And that’s not to mention today’s stars, like Clayton Kershaw, Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout and others. In recent decades, of course, football has largely eclipsed baseball as America’s favorite sport. But ever since the national anthem became a politicized source of ungrateful discontent among the NFL’s overpaid players, American enthusiasm for the gridiron contest has waned, too. Well, a recent poll brings even more troubling news: Just 9% of Americans say America’s pastime is still their favorite sport, and among Americans under 55, fewer of them like baseball than the other kind of football. That’s right; soccer has gained immensely in popularity.
Now, don’t get us wrong. There’s something entertaining about the shorter length and constant action of soccer — you know, if you like 90 minutes of monotony settled by a 0-0 tie, which, incidentally, is what we blame for the regular soccer game riots around the world. But baseball once was the showcase of American exceptionalism. If we are now to favor soccer, the international, European sport, how are we ever going to Make America Great Again? ~The Patriot Post

Judge's move to protect DACA shows
court system is 'broken and unfair'
by Pete Kasperowicz
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump on Wednesday said a decision by a federal judge in California to prevent the government from winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program... shows exactly what's wrong with the U.S. court system. "It just shows everyone how broken and unfair our Court System is when the opposing side in a case such as DACA always runs to the 9th Circuit and almost always wins before being reversed by higher courts," Trump tweeted. Trump was reacting to a decision from U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who is based in San Francisco, which said officials can't start unwinding DACA while Trump's decision to take that path is being challenged in court. The Trump administration has said it would challenge Alsup's ruling... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/white-house-outrageous-for-court-to-block-trumps-daca-decision/article/2645484?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2001/10/18&utm_medium=email.
ISIS Sets Its Sights on Gaza
by Bassam Tawil
There is nothing more delightful than watching two Islamic terror groups fight each other to the death... For several years now, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and ISIS in Sinai have been cooperating with each other, especially in smuggling weapons and terrorists over the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. It was a win-win: Hamas supplied ISIS with terrorists; ISIS supplied Hamas with weapons that were smuggled into the Gaza Strip. It appears, however, that the honeymoon between the two terror groups is over. Last week, ISIS published a video documenting the execution of one of its men after he was found guilty of smuggling weapons to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The execution of Musa Abu Zmat, a former Hamas terrorist who fled the Gaza Strip to join ISIS, took place in Sinai... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11713/isis-gaza-hamas.

from Congress at the end of 2018
by Susan Ferrechio and Kyle Feldscher
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Rep. Darrell Issa announced Wednesday he will not seek another term, adding his name to a growing list of GOP retirements... that has some analysts speculating a Democratic wave is coming. Issa, a Republican representing the San Diego area, was expected to be among the most endangered GOP lawmakers in 2018. "Throughout my service, I worked hard and never lost sight of the people our government is supposed to serve. Yet with the support of my family, I have decided that I will not seek re-election in California's 49th District," Issa said... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/darrell-issa-to-announce-retirement-from-congress-report/article/2645497?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2001/10/18&utm_medium=email.
Dema Admit They Need Illegals for Their Votes
by Matthew Vadum
{frontpagemag.com} ~ Democrats at the Left’s premier think tank have finally admitted in a leaked memo that illegal immigration is key to their party’s future electoral success... Republicans may not be angels but they have never wielded compassion as a cudgel the way Democrats do. But this memo ought to end Democrats’ phony compassion shtick for all time. Power is the only thing that matters to them. They don’t care about America or Americans. They care only about winning. Honest observers have known this for years. What did Democrats actually do this time to help solidify their image as the party of power over principle? Specifically, the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a sister organization of the Center for American Progress, distributed a brief to allies Monday calling the so-called DREAMers, that is, illegal aliens brought to the country at a young age, a “critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success,” the Daily Caller reports... https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268980/dems-admit-they-need-illegals-their-votes-matthew-vadum.
The REAL Truth: NOprah Is
NOT A ‘Unifier’ She’s A Divider
by Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ After her speech at the Golden Globes, many have been slobbering over the idea that NOprah Winfrey may make a run for the White House in 2020... Democrats are giddy over the possibility that she may consider a run. After all the liberal talking heads say, her speech was unifying. But a quick look at her history demonstrates that NOprah is not a unifier she is a divider... https://lidblog.com/unifier-oprah-divider/.

So what’s the purpose of football? What’s the point of eleven men carrying, throwing, catching, and kicking an oblong piece of inflated leather a hundred yards down a field while eleven other strong, swift men try to stop them? It’s a guy thing, like war without the killing. It satisfies something in the male psyche, but it’s not unrestrained violence. It has rules all participants must obey or be penalized, even ordered to leave the field. Players are judged by their physical ability which is remarkable, their mental acuity under pressure, their teamwork, perseverance, and heart.
