Baseball is too slow, the games take too long, and its popularity is in decline. Entrepreneur Jesse Cole doesn't want to see America's pastime left in the past, so he created an updated, faster-paced version of baseball called Banana Ball. And the fans have responded. With the pledge to always put fans first, Jesse is changing the way we look at baseball, and sold-out stadium tours show that it is working. Baseball purists may not like it, but Banana Ball may be what keeps America's pastime in the present.Sponsors:Raycon: Whether you’re working from home these days or just working on your fitness, now’s the perfect time to get a pair of Premium Wireless Earbuds.

Common Core is politicizing education. It's handed down from the federal government with window dressing to make it look local. That's according to Joan R. Landes, a licensed clinical mental health counselor who homeschooled her seven children and helped found an innovative outdoor school for boys with ADHD and anxiety called BreakOut School. Common Core is a one-size-fits-all box of woke ideology. And it doesn't work.

The Left has gone too far, and Oliver North is speaking out against it in his latest book, "Veteran's Lament: Is This the America Our Heroes Fought For?"

The pandemic could have been a unifying moment for the country, but it wasn't. It was politicized. One who saw this firsthand was retired U.S. Army Colonel Jim Hawkins. He was chosen by the governor to lead Alabama’s unified command for COVID response as the interagency coordinator. This meant working with the Alabama Department of Public Health, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, and the Alabama National Guard, just to name a few. Now at the one-year anniversary, we take a look back at what we did right, what we did wrong, and whether we are ready for the next pandemic.Sponsors:Ladder is revolutionizing an age-old industry offering term life insurance at a personalized price, that can flex as your needs change.
