Welcome to December 12, a date that has witnessed a myriad of significant events throughout history. 1941: The Beginning of a New Front in WWII On December 12, 1941, during the Second World War, the United States officially declared war on Japan, following the attack on Pearl Harbor just days earlier.

ALTON – The Marquette Catholic girls basketball team has somewhat of a three-point attack this season. And it’s currently being led by junior Laila Davis. Through the first seven games of the season, she leads the team with 63 points, averaging nine per game. That’s why she is a Tucker’s Automotive Repair & Tire Athlete of the Month for the Explorers. “Laila has impressed me so far this year,” Marquette girls basketball head coach Whitney Sykes-Rogers said. “She’s our leading scorer. Before the season, I wouldn’t have guessed that. She’s been our best shooter, she’s usually guarding one of their best players. She just does a lot of good things for us. She doesn’t make too many mistakes and that’s kind of what you need on the floor at times. You need a calm head, and I think that’s what she provides.” She scored 11 points on Monday in a 42-37 loss to Althoff but has continued to impress

As we recently noted, the Biden FCC has announced that it is finally “taking a look at” broadband usage caps. We’ve noted for decades how such limits are completely artificial, technically unnecessary constructs that exist specifically so your local telecom monopoly can rip you off. They don’t “manage congestion” or anything else; they exist exclusively to […]
