Duke basketball: 5 excuses Coach K cannot honestly use next season Ball Durham May 29, 2021 The 2021-22 season will be a fair gauge of modern Duke basketball strategy. It’s best not to forget that the Duke basketball program was a laughingstock underachiever in the eyes of outsiders last season.

Still, though, head coach Mike Krzyzewski often served as a spin doctor…

The Washington Times May 29, 2021 The Black Lives Matter movement’s embrace of the Palestinian cause substitutes racial identity for religious autonomy in the Mideast conflict, casting Israel as the aggressor even as antisemitic attacks in the U.S. are on the rise, foreign policy analysts say. With its popularity among progressives and Democrats intact, BLM threatens to add tinder to the Israeli-Palestinian conflagration by inviting comparisons to the antebellum South, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and ’70s and the white-minority oppression of South Africa, analysts say. “They have equated Israel with White supremacists and Palestinians with Blacks.…

The Washington Times May 29, 2021 Like many ranchers who struggled during the novel coronavirus pandemic, Liesl Carpenter would love to have her hefty agricultural loans forgiven by the federal government, but there’s just one problem: She’s the wrong race. As a White person, Ms. Carpenter is ineligible for the American Rescue Plan’s $4 billion program for “socially disadvantaged” farmers and ranchers, which offers to pay up to 120% of the outstanding balances on direct and guaranteed farm loans, including tax liability. “If we could have had relief from this, it would have been amazing,” said Ms. Carpenter, who…

Yahoo News May 29, 2021 In stark contrast to last summer, more Americans now say violent crime is a “very big problem” in the U.S. than say the same about COVID-19, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — a shift that suggests policing and public safety could come to dominate U.S. politics as the pandemic subsides, potentially putting the Biden administration and Democratic leaders on the defensive. The survey of 1,588 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 24 to May 26, found that just 32 percent of them now describe COVID-19 as a very big problem, down…
