Texas A & M was rightfully left out of the College Football Playoff , and people are not happy !
The Aggies were kept out of the field in favor of Notre Dame , and there ’ s no question at all that it was the correct decision .

The Aggies had no business being in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Their two best wins were over a three-loss Florida team and a 6-4 Auburn squad , which fired their coach at the end of the season .
Oh , did you know they lost to Alabama by 28 points ?

That might be a tough pill to swallow for SEC fans , but that ’ s way more impressive than beating a three-loss Florida team and a slightly above average Auburn squad .
How was this even a debate ?

thedailycaller--2020-12-21--BARR: Being An American In This Age Of COVID Still Beats Being An English Subject

As irksome as are the recent COVID restrictions imposed by New York , New Jersey , California and other states primarily run by Democrat governors , citizens should be thankful that our Founding Fathers understood and acted on the need to place clear limitations on government powers through a Bill of Rights .
While anglophiles may protest that England , too , has a Bill of Rights , it is nothing like ours that was ratified in 1791 .
The British “ Bill of Rights ” predates ours by just over 100 years , but its weaknesses were manifest in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mistreated by the Crown , notwithstanding being considered “ Englishmen.
” The 1689 Bill of Rights , for example , offered no real protection to colonists whose homes and businesses were invaded by British soldiers acting on order from the Crown pursuant to the infamous “ Writs of Assistance.
” Nor did that early Bill of Rights provide protection against severe censorship measures enforced by the Redcoats .
While the English version did include words supporting citizens ’ right to bear arms in self-defense , they rang hollow , as when British troops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gunpowder , leading to the battle of Lexington and Concord in April 1775 .
Perhaps most important in this Age of COVID , is the fact that the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution protects against unreasonable searches and seizures .
While some American governors , such as New Jersey ’ s Phil Murphy , New York ’ s Andrew Cuomo , Michigan ’ s Gretchen Whitmer and California ’ s Gavin Newsom would have been far more comfortable identifying as Tories back in the Revolutionary War era , at least most U.S. governors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being superior to arbitrary government decrees .
Meanwhile , over in Great Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson has extended and expanded the scope of that country ’ s COVID restrictions , beyond those yet decreed by his American state-level counterparts .
Were these latest restrictions not extremely serious , their crafting appears almost comical .
Families across the United Kingdom ( including not only England , but Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland ) are restricted to celebrating Christmas only in accord with mandated “ bubbles.
” Yes , “ bubbles.
” Bubbles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come together for Christmas celebration ( a relaxation of the rules that apply already on other days ) .
In Wales , this means only two households can congregate on Dec. 25 in a home , a place of worship , or in a public outdoor area .
Families in Northern Ireland and those in at least most parts of England , and in Scotland , are a bit more fortunate , with bubbles of up to three households graciously permitted to share Christmas cheer or worship .
Failure to abide by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to £10,000 ( $ 13,500 depending on the exchange rate ) ; fines also can be levied if a household refuses to admit a police officer seeking to determine if the household bubble is too big .

Interestingly , however , schools , universities and playgrounds remain open , so long as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandates are followed .
Here in America , the good Dr. Fauci tried in vain to keep people from travelling over the Thanksgiving holiday .

After beating Northwestern, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day hinted that the B1G would change its policy on how long players who test positive have to sit out. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Previously, it was 21 days and the Buckeyes are down nearly two dozen players heading into the playoff.
Ryan Day hints that the Big Ten 21-day rule is being discussed. Says it’s being looked at really hard. Gene Smith pushed hard for change last week. Will be a big decision looming for Big Ten next week. — Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) December 19, 2020
Ohio State will be without 22 players for the Big Ten championship game, including WR Chris Olave, LB Baron Browning and P Drue Chrisman. If they’re out because of positive COVID tests, they could miss the CFP semifinals because of the Big Ten’s 21-day rule. — Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) December 19, 2020
Well, that policy is a thing of the past. According to Adam Rittenberg, the B1G will now require athletes to sit 17 days, which could be a huge break for the Buckeyes going into their game against Clemson.
NEWS: Big Ten players who test positive for COVID-19 will only be required to miss 17 days, a reduction from 21, according to a document obtained by ESPN showing new policy from B1G’s return to competition task force medical subcommittee. Same cardiac protocols will remain. — Adam Rittenberg (@ESPNRittenberg) December 20, 2020
We all saw this coming, and it’s now a done deal! Was there any chance the B1G was actually going to send OSU into a game against Clemson missing 22 players, including multiple stars?
Hell no. That was never going to happen.
The 21-day rule shouldn’t have existed anyways. We were the only conference in America with it, and it was a stupid rule from day one.
Now, it’s gone, OSU will be able to load back up for their January 1 matchup against the Tigers and you know they’re going to look much better than they did against NW.

After a bunch of bowl bids were announced Sunday , we all kind of assumed the Black Knights would land in a game after the Independence Bowl was canceled .

Army, despite 9-2 record & a guaranteed bid to Independence Bowl, will not be allowed to play in bowl game, sources told @Stadium.

A 9-2 Army team that won the commander-in-chief trophy by beating both Navy and Air Force gets no bowl bid. There are reasons, but no justifications. What a travesty. — Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) December 20, 2020
Army goes 9-2 and no bowl game. But let’s allow 3-7 Tennessee and 2-8 South Carolina bowl bids. 2020 has been a challenge for CFB but in some areas they have failed beyond belief. pic.twitter.com/wWp0QMp2fp — Mike Farrell (@rivalsmike) December 20, 2020

An influx in outside funding from GOP super PACs has given Republicans an advertising edge over Democrats in the Georgia runoff elections that will decide which party controls the Senate .
Fundraising data from AdImpact found that Republicans have so far spent $ 86 million towards ads in support of incumbent Republican Georgia Sens .

Democrats and their allies had spent $ 6.9 billion by mid-October while Republicans and their allies had spent only $ 3.8 billion , according to OpenSecrets .
Democratic strategists and donors said the spending gap could be attributed to fatigue among donors after spending a historically large amount of money in the general election , according to Politico .

The two elections are likely to be decided by razor-thin margins as the candidates in both races are currently polling within one point of each other , according to Five Thirty Eight .

“ We had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it didn ’ t work .
If donors are shifting their contributions and their support to ground operations , that at least shows a willingness to learn very quickly as to what might work and try something a little different.

The GOP’s favorable position heading into the Jan. 5 runoff elections is notably different from its position leading up to the Nov. 3 general election. Democrats and their allies had spent $6.9 billion by mid-October while Republicans and their allies had spent only $3.8 billion, according to OpenSecrets.
Democratic strategists and donors said the spending gap could be attributed to fatigue among donors after spending a historically large amount of money in the general election, according to Politico.
“The outside money’s been obscene [on the Republican side], and outside money on the Democratic side has been slow,” an anonymous super PAC official told Politico. (RELATED: Here’s The Latest Intel On The Georgia Senate Races)
J.B. Poersch, president of the pro-Democratic fundraising group Senate Majority PAC, said he was confident about the two races. “We all have plenty of money to compete,” he told Politico. “At the end of the day, [Republicans] have markets where they have a lot more votes than we do, but we’re being smart about talking to voters directly in Georgia and using our dollars wisely.”
But some donors also admitted they were skeptical if Ossoff and Warnock could actually win. The two elections are likely to be decided by razor-thin margins as the candidates in both races are currently polling within one point of each other, according to Five Thirty Eight.
Republicans also outperformed expectations in the general election despite Democrats holding a spending advantage in ads. The Economist’s election forecast projected that Democrats would win a majority in the Senate and gain seats in the House — Democrats only flipped two Senate seats and lost virtually every competitive House race.

One lesson some Democratic donors said they learned after the party failed to flip the Senate was that television and radio ad spending does not guarantee electoral success. Donors are instead funding grassroots organizations operating on the ground in Georgia, according to Politico.
“There’s a feeling in the donor community that too much was spent on TV and not enough on field operations,” Democratic strategist Ami Copeland said. “We had parity plus last time on TV, and it didn’t work. If donors are shifting their contributions and their support to ground operations, that at least shows a willingness to learn very quickly as to what might work and try something a little different.”
Democratic organizations have switched gears to voter registration and mobilization. Among these groups includes former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight, which has raised around $35 million since the general election according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Even the apparent short-term benefits to wages are a poor economic argument for tough immigration restrictions. Migrants have economic effects far beyond the labour market. They spur innovation and entrepreneurship and they help create trade links between America and their home countries. Both low- and high-skilled migration are linked with higher productivity.
This is a fundamentally supply-side case that the policies best for long-run economic prosperity are those that spur business creation, investment, and trade. It is perfectly consistent with a broader economic agenda advocating for lower tax rates on capital, reduced influence for organized labor, and deregulation across the board, which will purportedly yield efficiency and growth, the rising tide of which will purportedly raise all boats.
That may or may not be correct, but it is at least coherent.
Alternatively, analysts at many points on the political spectrum are now arguing that tight labor markets should be the first priority. Constraints on available labor shift power from firms to workers, thus delivering better economic outcomes for the latter.
And in the process, this forces firms to invest in productivity enhancements, employee training, and the development of business models that work effectively in such conditions. Rather than the tight labor market and workers’ gains being the endpoint that is hopefully achieved after corporate profits and stock values have surged, the gains for workers take precedence and in fact force the investment and innovation.
This theory of worker-led growth is also coherent and recommends a policy agenda of looser fiscal and monetary policy, a revived labor movement, and constraints on access to new pools of foreign labor. (RELATED: The Birth Of A Multi-Ethnic, Working-Class Conservatism)

Of course, one can endorse loose immigration policy on non-economic grounds; the issue implicates all manner of moral questions and demands difficult trade-offs among competing values.
