The Most Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, the Catholic archbishop of San Francisco and an outspoken conservative, believes pro-choice politicians should not be offered Communion. In 2008, while auxiliary bishop of San Diego, he helped lead the fight for California’s Proposition 8, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

If you have one game to win this season, are you really taking top-ranked and unbeaten Mississippi State? I didn’t think so. And this is the underlying problem with where we are in the process of ranking teams for the College Football Playoff. There’s no way on earth a majority of those 12 members on the CFP selection committee think Mississippi State is the best team in the nation — by wins, by eye test, by any measure....

While it’s a bit too soon to say if the pair are married, or considering such a giant step, there are already spoilers available that point to the pair’s relationship after The Bachelorette. Yes, it appears Moss and Crawley are still together, and that may even be the reason this season of The Bachelorette looks nothing like seasons past.

In fact, they say we need to find ways to live with the virus until a vaccine or effective treatment arrives. Experts: Lockdowns Not a Primary Measure The World Health Organization (WHO) recently said during a press conference that massive lockdowns should not be the first response as countries continue to battle the novel coronavirus....

In March, Congress passed the bipartisan $2.2 trillion CARES Act as states and municipalities across the country entered lockdowns to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

But that $600 benefit expired at the end of July, and most Americans have long since used up their stimulus checks....

Answer by John DeMarchi , CEO/Founder of social media and strategy firm Social Czars Whoa! Seattle has a tremedous defense, and shut down a historically great offense, but let’s pump the brakes here. 1. The 1985 Bears gave up 10 points TOTAL in three playoff games, pitching two shutouts, and only allowing a TD after taking a 44-3 lead over the Pats in the Super Bowl. That team had a much better front seven than Seattle – 64 sacks, 72 the prior season, too, an NFL record that still stands....

O’Rourke is in Bailey County, where 77% of voters supported Trump in 2020, talking to the local chamber of commerce and having a meal at a family-owned Mexican restaurant.

This isn’t a piece to point out the failings of preseason rankings or predictions. In general, the media does its homework, information is readily available, and teams that are expected to be good are usually good and the teams that are expected to struggle usually struggle. But as those who follow college football already know, September brought a higher-than-usual volume of upsets and unexpected results. Here is one team from each Power 5 conference that has put together a surprisingly strong first month of the season after getting little love at Media Days....

Arkansas was among the states that took swift action after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing the state’s 2019 trigger law banning nearly all abortions to take immediate effect.
