What is going on up there?

The Freedom Convoy has been a peaceful protest with only a handful of minor arrests (one of which was a driver trying to stop police from taking fuel off his truck). No one is burning down or vandalizing buildings, looting, attacking citizens, etc. Somehow Trudeau is trying to blame this on the U.S. since it was reported that someone was waving a Confederate Flag.. What does that flag even mean to a Canadian? They are calling on Child Welfare to investigate the number of children that are in the cabs of some of the trucks....like maybe it's the truckers family??? Now Trudeau wants to put guidelines on social media communication. I'm sure he'll blame Trump pretty soon.

Looks like a peaceful protest of government over-reach. Stopping traffic and beeping their horns non-stop...Oh, the humanity!!! Even the peaceful Canadians are fed up with it.

Before Seton Hall and Big East foe Xavier do battle in a conference matchup, Charlie DiSturco of The Action Network is here to give you his best bet (video above).

The Musketeers enter Wednesday night’s matchup in fifth place in the conference while the Pirates arrive in seventh place only a game behind Xavier.

But DiSturco believes Seton Hall to be a worthy favorite at home and is targeting its spread (-3) for the contest.

“Xavier has struggled of late,” DiSturco says. “This is a team that has constantly found itself in big holes in the first half and [are] forced to claw themselves back in the second.”

On the flip-side, Seton Hall possesses a top-20 two-point defense and has the size down low to give the Musketeers problems.

DiSturco believes the presence of Ike Obiagu, who averages nearly three blocks a game, will help limit Xavier’s offense and give the Pirates a much-needed win to increase their chances at a NCAA Tournament bid.

Rutgers hasn’t played in the NCAA tournament since Joe Biden was in his 40’s and he may be in his 80’s by the time they get there. Lesson to RU fans, heed the advice of that great philosopher, Ralph Kramden, “Be nice to the people you meet on the way up, because you’re going to meet the same people on the way down”.

FOCO is selling college-themed gaiter scarves.

By Mike Rosenstein | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Almost four million people around the world have been diagnosed with the coronavirus, including more than 1.2 million in the U.S., making a face mask a must-have if you need to venture outside your front door during the pandemic.

Now you can show your school pride while playing it safe. FOCO is selling a line of gaiter scarves which can be used as face coverings. They are selling online for $13 apiece.

The site lists more than 100 scarves for sale, including Seton Hall. However Rutgers surprisingly did not make the cut.

All of the major professional sports leagues are selling face masks as well.

Major League Baseball became the latest to join the crowd this week, launching a line of face coverings, which are available at Fanatics. A three-pack costs $24.99. You can also buy one for $14.99.

Fanatics also sells NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS and WNBA-themed-face masks.

Fanatics warns that “the face coverings are made of cloth and aren’t medical-grade, but officials say wearing facial coverings will help curb the spread of the coronavirus.”

On Monday, the WWE announced it was launching a line of wrestler-themed face masks, which are available at shop.wwe.com.

In a very odd and two separate statements by Don Jr, about admitting meeting to a Russian lawyer. At first, the story was that this meeting was about Russian adoption. However, his second statement which clarified the first statement, he admitted on taking a meeting in June 2016 with an unknown Russian lawyer about damaging information about Hillary Clinton. When the lawyer did not have any credible information, the lawyer turned the conversation to Russian adoption. At that point Don Jr ends the meeting because she did not have good info. Also, Don Jr brought Manafort and Kushner to the meeting.

As early as June 2016, the Trump campaign is seeking information on Clinton from the Russians. There is a bad smell coming from the White House.

A true American patriot who loved his country and who demonstrated exceptional courage during his 5 years as a prison of war in North Vietnam and in his fight against the disease that took his life.
