The voluntary recall impacts certain Jetson Rogue self-balancing scooters -- also known as hoverboards -- which were sold at Target and on the company's website.
CPSC said a 10-year-old girl and her 15-year-old sister died from an April 2022 fire in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. Local officials determined that a 42-volt Jetson Rogue was the point of origin of the fire, according to a news release from CPSC, which also said "the cause of the fire was undetermined."
But the agency said the lithium-ion battery packs in the hoverboards can overheat, posing a fire hazard. CPSC also said it was aware of other reports of the recalled scooters "burning, sparking or melting, several of which involved reports of flames."
CPSC advised consumers to "immediately" stop using and stop charging the recalled 42-volt version of the self-balancing scooters and contact Jetson for a full refund.
In a statement, Jetson said the voluntary recall was "out of an abundance of caution."

Walmart has removed a recycling-themed shirt from sale after a viral Twitter post pointed out a vulgar acronym hidden within the design.
The shirt featured large lettering reading "RE" on the left, with the words "cycle," "use," "new" and "think" written in smaller lettering on the right. The intended takeaway, apparently, was for onlookers to interpret the message as four distinct words: "recycle," "reuse," "renew" and "rethink."
But the lettering on the right side of the shirt, when read vertically, spelled out an inappropriate four-letter word.
"I need this shirt before Walmart realizes what they have done," wrote the Twitter user in a now-viral post containing an image of the shirt. "Find the hidden word."

The New York Post, citing a police report, said the incident took place in October in Blue Ash, Ohio, when Karen Ivery asked a cashier for the manager regarding the bill and reparations.
The cashier told authorities that Ivery brought up reparations several times during their brief interaction before the manager arrived, the paper said, citing the report.
When speaking with the manager, the customer first asked for reparations and then grew angry as she walked "aggressively" toward the manager, the Post said, citing the report.
"Ivery kept berating her about reparations and her privileged life," the report said, according to the Post, as the customer continued walking toward the manager.
But Ivery allegedly began screaming at Cotter and followed him to his office, the Post reported.
When he tried to shut the door, Ivery allegedly forced her way into the office — and Cotter threw a punch, the Post added, citing the report. Ivery fell to the floor after the wallop.
With that, Zach Cotter — a loss-prevention officer — intervened and asked Ivery to calm down and leave the store, the paper noted, citing the report.
It can be extremely difficult dealing with the public.

Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem bought up and canceled nearly $3.3 million in medical debt belonging to 3,355 families.
According to the Dispatch, this is the second year that members of the church have taken part in the Debt Jubilee Project, which assumes past-due medical bills of residents in the area. Through the project, congregants previously purchased $1.65 million of debt, liberating 1,356 people in Forsyth and Davidson Counties.

A Siena College Poll conducted March 6-9 has provided some damning insights into how New Yorkers view their state.
Nearly 40% of respondents suggested New York is not a good place to raise children; 60% of respondents cast doubt on whether New York is a suitable place to retire; 31% said they would retire someplace else.
When asked whether they plan to continue to live in New York or intend to leave within the next five years, 27% of respondents said they were planning on leaving.
10,824 New Yorkers swapped out their state driver's licenses for Florida licenses in the first three months of 2023, reported the Post, citing new figures from the Florida Department of Highway Safety. This is reportedly a slight slowdown over the same stretch last year, which saw 14,834 move their licenses to Florida.
USA Today reported that over 65,000 New Yorkers ultimately made the switch in 2022 and another 62,000 the year before.

In a two-part interview that will air on Fox News Monday and Tuesday, Tucker Carlson pressed Twitter CEO Elon Musk on whether the U.S. government had access to users' private messages.
Musk answered in the affirmative, noting that this discovery floored him.
Since officially taking control of Twitter in October, Musk has shared various damning insights into both his predecessors' apparent collusion with state actors and the extent of government meddling on the platform.
Through the Twitter Files, he has already helped to illuminate politically motivated censorship campaigns, coordinated efforts by the FBI and Twitter to shape the public discourse, and political interference by partisan agents that has possibly changed elections and transformed the political landscape in the United States.
Musk told Carlson, "The degree to which government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind," said Musk. "I was not aware of that."

A detective from the Utah County Sheriff's Office was sent to investigate the Lehi Farmers Market after reports said it had been operating in violation of state code and zoning ordinances.
As they investigated, detectives found that one of the operators of the farmers market was a 74-year-old sex offender registered on the Utah Sex Offender Registry. The man was arrested April 14, 2023, after police learned that he had not registered himself as a sex offender at his new address.
Previously listed as living in Saratoga Springs, Utah, the man had been living at the same location as the farmers' market and didn't update his address, authorities discovered.
Investigators looked on the Lehi Farmers Market social media pages and found the man dressed up as Elmo from "Sesame Street." They also found two Instagram photos of the sex offender holding a child while he was on a tractor, as well as interacting with animals.

Global Powerlifting Committee New Zealand has since denied Dale Shepherd's application, adopting new rules over the weekend that will preclude him from taking the stage to make his point.
While Shepherd suggests the new rules are similarly "deficient," it appears that with his controversial application, he may have forced a shift in the right direction without having to break a sweat.

A male weightlifter once dubbed "New Zealand's Strongest Man" applied last week to compete in a women's powerlifting competition. His intention was not to defeat women in the sport, but rather to discredit the notion that biological men don't have a physiological advantage over their female peers — an advantage which male transsexuals appear keen to simultaneously exploit and deny.

On Sunday, two passengers aboard American Airlines flight 292 from New York City to Delhi, India, got into a heated argument. At least one of the two had reportedly become inebriated and "unruly" during the 15-hour flight from JFK to Indira Gandhi International Airport. Tensions between the two eventually escalated to the point that the unidentified drunken man began urinating on his opponent, witnesses claimed.
Indian authorities were waiting for the suspect when the plane landed in New Delhi around 9 p.m. The respective identities of the suspect and the alleged victim have not been released, though the suspect is believed to be an Indian national.

Announcing his re-election campaign, Biden is trying to make himself, and his party, the champions of the people who have most suffered under his lack of leadership: the working and middle class. But he hasn't been investing in America, as he claims, and which also isn't his job — but he has been decimating economic opportunity.
From day one, President Biden has attacked traditional sources of energy, making them less abundant and more expensive in terms of both direct energy costs and the costs of the 6,000 derivative products and myriad other services that depend upon fossil fuels.
His "American Rescue Plan" was the opposite of its name. Biden and friends overstimulated the economy and caused inflation the likes of which we hadn't seen in 40-plus years. This created a heavy burden on the cost of everyday living for millions of Americans across the country.
Biden and his administration pushed for lowering the reporting threshold for online transactions to $600 and sought $80 billion in IRS funding to enforce that and other rules, not for billionaires, as claimed, but for Main Street Americans.
He has formalized business social credit in the form of ESG, putting the whims and desires of his elite cronies over your best interests, without any legislative process. Biden's administration entrenched ESG pushers at the SEC, and his Department of Labor put out a rule allowing retirement plan managers to shirk their fiduciary duty to you as an investor, prioritizing ESG initiatives over your investment returns.
Biden, without congressional support or approval, fully weaponized the dollar on the international stage, making a huge move with massive consequences for the financial world order, in freezing Russia's dollar-denominated reserve assets and pushing allies around the world to do the same.
As a consequence, this accelerated the push to dethrone "King Dollar" as the world's reserve currency, with countries around the world making moves to de-dollarize.
His latest attack on the middle class comes with an extra knife-twist: It penalizes those with good credit. It was announced that as of May 1, those with high credit scores, the responsible people who do the best with their financial circumstances, will be penalized on their mortgage fees. That's right, the FHFA mandated the increase of loan-level price adjustment fees for those with good credit scores to partially subsidize "riskier" homebuyers with poor credit scores.
Biden and friends' pursuit of equity means that everyone ends up the same — poor (well, except for the elite).
As the Fed has been raising interest rates, meant as a signal to ease up on spending, Biden, along with his congressional supporters, have not even feigned interest in slowing their spending, racking up a $1.1 trillion deficit through the first half of 2023 and proposing a budget with more government spending and expansion.
Nobody (besides perhaps some elite, well-connected cronies and profiteers related to Biden's various initiatives) believes their financial standing is better off because of Biden's policies. Many Americans may not know about all the above policies, but they do go to the grocery store and see what's listed on the checkout register.
A NBC poll showed that 70% of respondents didn't want Biden to run again for president. Given the financial trajectory the U.S. is on today, if they don't trust their guts and their wallets, today's runaway fiscal train will derail.
Biden has been disaster for Americans in the middle.

On April 14, someone from Washington state contacted the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding the possible online sexual exploitation of a child by a teacher at Poole's Mill Elementary School in Cumming, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of the state capital. NCMEC then alerted the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
An investigation into the NCMEC tip led police to 38-year-old James Andrew "Drew" Cecil, who had been teaching fourth grade at Poole's Mill Elementary for about two years. He also previously spent five years as a teacher and volleyball coach at North Forsyth High School in the same district.

Even funnier were the ratings Tucker's subsequent Twitter video made online... millions in the first couple of hours.
Hey, if FOX wants to race CNN to the bottom, I say "let them". As for Tucker... well it rather looks as if FOX paying out his contract is an effort to silence him (at least severely limit his reach) ahead of the 2024 elections.
It will be interesting to hear what he has to say, should he adopt a "no fucks given" approach to the terms and conditions of his dismissal.

Katie Sorensen, 31, was found guilty of one count of making a false report of a crime, the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office said on Thursday. Sorensen was taken into custody on $100,000 bail.
In December 2020, Sorensen claimed that a man and woman attempted to kidnap her two children in the parking lot of a Michaels craft store in Petaluma, a city roughly 40 miles north of San Francisco. She reported the alleged crime to the Petaluma Police Department.
About a week later, the mom influencer posted a video on social media talking about the alleged kidnapping attempt. The Instagram video regarding the alleged child abduction attempt went viral, quickly racking up more than 4 million views. Sorensen has since deleted her Instagram account, which had nearly 60,000 followers.
"My children were the targets of an attempted kidnapping," Sorensen said at the time. "I want to share that story with you in an effort as to what signs to look for and encourage parents to be more aware of their surroundings and what is going on around them."
Sorensen also appeared on a local news program to discuss the alleged kidnapping attempt.
Sorensen fingered Sadie and Eddie Martinez in the alleged kidnapping attempt. The social media influencer claimed that she was "paralyzed with fear" when the couple allegedly attempted to kidnap her children. The couple was at Michaels purchasing a decorative baby Jesus.

The couple denied the California woman's accusations.
NBC News reported, "Sorensen, who described herself on social media as a 'mom influencer,' said the couple gave her the 'heebie-jeebies' and 'weren't clean-cut individuals.'"
However, police determined that Sorensen fabricated the fake kidnapping attempt.
Sadie and Eddie Martinez told the Petaluma Argus-Courier that the kidnapping accusations made against them were racially motivated.

It always has been, but we always knew this.
So, here's how things work after talking with a recycling facility employee a few days ago, when dropping off some 'recyclables' at the depot (rural folk are always willing to chat)...
This employee was there to ensure that not one item from one category was placed into a bin from another category. All plastic is different, and if any mixing occurs the entire load goes to the landfill, either local or foreign.
Styrofoam included. 'Hard' styrofoam cannot be mixed with 'soft' styrofoam. If it gets mixed, off to the landfill the entire load goes.
Within plastics alone, there are numerous varieties of plastics. They cannot be mixed, or it gets landfilled. The VAST MAJORITY of people wouldn't know the fucking difference between plastics.

On Monday night, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill filed a 177-page verdict announcing that he had found former Officer Tou Thao guilty of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Thao, who kept bystanders at bay while Officer Derek Chauvin restrained Floyd, acted in an "unreasonable" manner, Cahill determined.
Rather than face a jury trial, Thao opted to place his fate in the hands of Cahill, who had already presided over Chauvin's murder trial. Prosecutors agreed to drop the more serious charge — aiding and abetting murder — against Thao if he were convicted of a lesser charge. Thao, 37, will be sentenced in August and likely faces about four years in prison for the state conviction.

Paul Stanley followed up his recent statements about parents pushing children into gender transition surgeries by remarking that his words "clearly were not" clear and that he firmly supports those struggling with sexual identity.
As reported by TimCast, the rock star's pivot comes just four days after his April 30, 2023, online post criticizing parents who push their children into gender transition surgeries too easily and attempt to normalize the act.
"There is a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children," Stanley said.
The musician changed his tune in his May 4, 2023, comments, saying "While my thoughts were clear, my words clearly were not. Most importantly and above all else, I support those struggling with their sexual identity while enduring constant hostility and those whose path leads them to reassignment surgery," he explained.

Harvey Nichols: bought for $101.9 million (£53.6m)
Founded in 1831, Harvey Nichols is one of London's most upscale department stores. There are currently 15 different Harvey Nichols stores around the world, including three in Hong Kong. The chain was bought by Hong Kong-based company Dickson Concepts in 1991 for $101.9 million (£53.6m).
Dirt Devil, as part of Royal Appliances Manufacturing Company: bought for $105.5 million (£74.2m)
Dirt Devil, the US manufacturer of vacuum cleaners, was originally founded in 1905. In 2002, its parent company Royal Appliances Manufacturing Company was bought by the Hong Kong company Techtronic Industries for $105.5 million (£74.2m).
Hoover USA: bought for $107 million (£54.5m)
Dirt Devil isn't the only vacuum brand that's been sucked up Techtronic Industries. The Whirlpool Corporation sold the US division of Hoover to Techtronic Industries in 2007 for $107 million (£54.5m) in cash. The international arm of the Hoover brand was originally owned by Italian appliance maker Candy, but that was taken over by Chinese consumer electronics firm Haier in 2019. That means the entire Hoover brand is now under Chinese control.
MG Rover: bought for $96.1 million (£50m)
In 2005, UK-based automotive brand MG Rover was bailed out by China's oldest vehicle manufacturer, Nanjing Automobile, for $96.1 million (£70.2m). Two years later, Nanjing was bought by Shanghai-based SAIC Motor. The company ceased all production at MG's Longbridge plant near Birmingham, England in 2016 and moved all operations to China.
Rio Tinto: bought for $12.8 billion (£6.5bn)
Chinalco, one of the world's biggest aluminium producers, is owned by the Chinese government. In February 2008, the company bought a minority stake in British-Australian mining company Rio Tinto for a whopping $12.8 billion (£6.5bn). By 2019, Chinalco owned a 14.51% stake in the company, making it Rio Tinto's biggest shareholder. Chinalco's share cannot exceed 15% though as a result of foreign ownership restrictions imposed by Australian regulators back in 2008.
OZ Minerals: bought for $1.4 billion (£989m)
OZ Minerals is a modern mining company in South Australia that focuses on copper mines across Australia and in Brazil. The company was drowning in debt in 2009 when it was acquired by Chinese mineral and metals trading firm Minmetals, which now goes by the name of MMG. The deal came in at $1.4 billion (£989m).
Volvo: bought for $1.8 billion (£1.3bn)
Renowned for its safe and reliable cars, the vehicles arm of much-loved Swedish automotive company Volvo was sold by Ford to China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group for $1.8 billion (£1.3bn) in 2010. In July 2021, Volvo signed a deal with its parent company to take over Geely's stake in its joint ventures in China, making it the first non-Chinese carmaker to have full control over its operations in the People's Republic. China accounted for 25% of Volvo's total car sales in 2020, followed by the United States (17%), Sweden (8%) and Germany (7%).
Club Med: bought for more than $1.1 billion (£803m)
In 2010, Chinese investment company Fosun International bought a 7.1% stake in the French all-inclusive vacation brand Club Med. Five years later, and following a two-year bidding war, the conglomerate went the whole hog and raised its stake to 98% at a cost of $1.1 billion (£803m).
Cerruti: bought for up to $71.7 million (£48.1m)
Presitigious Italian fashion brand Cerruti was snapped up by Chinese investors in 2010. Famed for its luxurious men's suits and classic 1881 fragrance, the brand was bought by Hong Kong-based Trinity for up to $71.7 million (£52.3m). The acquisition came as part of the company's ambitious expansion programme in the UK and China.
Miss Sixty: bought for an undisclosed amount
The popular Italian womenswear brand was snapped up by Guangzhou's Trendy International Group in 2012. The parent company controls a range of fashion brands, which includes Energie, Murphy & Nye and Killah. Miss Sixty's owner announced in 2016 that the brand could go public in the upcoming year, but no IPO has happened yet. The business was estimated to be worth $5 billion (£3.6bn) at the time.
AMC Theaters: bought for $2.6 billion (£1.9bn)
AMC Theaters, the American cinema chain that became a so-called meme stock in January 2022 when people began investing in their droves after discussions on social network Reddit, was bought by the Dalian Wanda Group for $2.6 billion (£1.9bn) in 2012. Although other global companies have subsequently invested in the firm, Wanda Group still has majority control over the chain.

Snider recently earned the ire of San Francisco Pride after he expressed agreement with what the organization claimed was a "transphobic statement" put out by Paul Stanley of Kiss.
Stanley had appeared to argue that adults should not encourage kids to identify as the opposite sex. Snider agreed, tweeting, "You know what? There was a time where I 'felt pretty' too. Glad my parents didn't jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLive."
San Francisco Pride announced that plans to have Snider perform had been scrapped, writing, "[W]hen we were notified about the tweet in which Dee expressed support for Kiss's Paul Stanley's transphobic statement, we were heartbroken and angry. The message perpetuated by that tweet casts doubt on young trans people's ability to self-identify their gender." The organization declared, "We have mutually agreed to part ways, but appreciate Dee seeing this as a teachable moment and a reminder that even allies need to be educated to ensure that they are not casually promoting transphobia."

Basal metabolic rate, or basal energy expenditure, refers to the energy required per unit of time for the body to maintain vital functions such as breathing, blood circulation, and maintaining body temperature. Put simply, BMR is the number of calories the body burns while at rest. BMR is one component in the body's total energy expenditure. The other is activity expenditure, the number of calories burned during physical activity, such as running or walking.
According to the study, which analyzed data from the present day back to the late 1980s from nearly 4,800 adults in Europe and the United States, the adjusted total daily energy expenditure has decreased significantly since the 1990s. The data indicated a decline of approximately 7.7 percent in men and 5.6 percent in women. In terms of adjusted basal energy expenditure, men experienced a drop of 14.7 percent over time, while women's decline was 2 percent and not deemed significant. However, the authors noted that a larger dataset of BMR measurements of nearly 10,000 adults across 163 studies going back 100 years confirms the decline in both men and women.
"The surprising conclusion is we spend less energy when resting now than individuals did 30-40 years ago!" John Speakman, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenzhen, China, and a lead author of the study, wrote on Twitter. "The magnitude of the effect is sufficient to explain the obesity epidemic."

Conservative beer drinkers blasted Bud Light for partnering with Mulvaney – the transgender TikTok star and creator of the "Days of Girlhood" series. Now, gay bars in Illinois are boycotting Bud Light for not supporting Mulvaney enough.
The 2Bears Tavern Group owns four "LGBTQIA+ establishments" in Chicago. The LGBTQ group proclaimed on Friday, "All 2Bears Tavern Group bars are discontinuing Anheuser-Busch InBev products as a result of the brewer's anti-transgender actions and statements."
"In view of Anheuser-Busch InBev's abandonment of its support of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, the subsequent reprehensible and divisive comments by its CEO ... 2Bears Tavern Group is discontinuing all Anheuser-Busch InBev products including Busch Light, Bud Light, and Goose Island 312," the 2Bears Tavern Group said in a statement.

While the presiding judge in 31-year-old Darren Glines' case determined there was "no question that Glines was in the women's locker room," he ultimately let the transvestite off the hook because of the YMCA's gender identification policy and the transvestite's giant gut.
The YMCA of Greater Dayton refused to bar the male patron from the once female-only space.
"Under no circumstance will we investigate an individual's birth identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms. That would be counter to the law, counter to respect for all people and it is not who or what we are as an organization," the organization said in a statement.
Glines' activist attorneys Lauren and Keara Dever argued that in addition to having the permission to parade around naked in the women's locker room, it is "fair to say that the whole genital area was covered by body fat."

The National Post reported that the new design for the Canadian Royal Crown also replaces other religious symbols such as the fleur-de-lis — and other crosses — for maple leaves. The Catholic Church has viewed the fleur-de-lis as a symbol for the Virgin Mary, and its three "petals" have been used to represent the Holy Trinity.
How are folks reacting?
As you might expect, the new crown design is being blasted on Twitter — particularly because the term "snowflake" has in recent years come to represent young leftists. The bulldozing of religion also was noted.
"Makes sense, snowflakes while we're under a snowflake," one commenter wrote.
"More Cultural Marxism," another user said. "There's a war on Christianity around the world. And it's been foretold."
"Might as well just put 666 on it," another commenter suggested.
"Anyone who thinks our drama queen [prime minister] who professes a love for the murderous, tyrannical communist Chinese regime would do anything but try to destroy our traditions and heritage that made us great are deluded and deranged, if not mentally ill," another user said. "God save us."
"The snowflake is a perfect depiction of today's Canadian society!" another commenter declared.
"Roflmao. Canada has totally become the country of snowflakes. Oh my," another user noted.
"I am surprised Canada did not replace the cross with a homosexual flag or a black fist," another commenter wrote.

Young men at highest risk of schizophrenia linked with cannabis use disorder
NIH study highlights the need to proactively screen for, prevent, and treat cannabis use disorder especially among young people.
Young men with cannabis (marijuana) use disorder have an increased risk of developing schizophrenia, according to a study led by researchers at the Mental Health Services in the Capital Region of Denmark and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health. The study, published in Psychological Medicine(link is external), analyzed detailed health records data spanning 5 decades and representing more than 6 million people in Denmark to estimate the fraction of schizophrenia cases that could be attributed to cannabis use disorder on the population level.
Researchers found strong evidence of an association between cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia among men and women, though the association was much stronger among young men. Using statistical models, the study authors estimated that as many as 30% of cases of schizophrenia among men aged 21-30 might have been prevented by averting cannabis use disorder.

Most of the charges relate to Santos' recently improved financial situation. For years, Santos struggled to pay his rent and had been threatened with eviction on multiple occasions, the AP reported. However, Santos claimed on financial disclosure forms that Devolder Organization, a luxury-item brokering firm established in Florida two years ago, has since paid him $750,000 a year. He also claimed to have received a total of $6 million in dividends from Devolder as well, though prosecutors said the firm never gave him any of that money.
Santos has also been accused of establishing Redstone Strategies, another Florida company, in 2021 to raise money for his political campaign but then using the money for personal expenses such as designer clothes and debt payments. In October 2022, just a month before his election, he wired tens of thousands of dollars from that company's account to a personal account and to accounts belonging to some of his associates, the indictment claimed. The month before, he may have set up yet another LLC and twice funneled $25,000 in campaign contributions from the company's account to a personal account.
Additionally, there are allegations that Santos illicitly collected $24,000 in unemployment benefits during the government shutdown for COVID. The indictment claimed that Santos applied for and received the benefits in 2020, even as he remained employed with an investment firm that has since been investigated as a Ponzi scheme.
He was charged on Tuesday evening by prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, and he was taken into federal custody on Wednesday. He currently faces 13 counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft, and lying to Congress.

Musk will continue to own the social media company and will play a technical role in the platform, but someone else will lead the day-to-day management of the company.
"Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair & [Chief Technology Officer], overseeing product, software & [system operators]," Musk posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
Musk provided no additional details about the future of the social media platform.
The leadership shake-up comes about seven months after Musk took over ownership of the platform in October of last year.
The move was not altogether unexpected. Musk had posted in December that he would resign as CEO of the platform as soon as he could find a suitable replacement.

Yaccarino is chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal (NBCU), where she has worked for more than a decade and manages a global team of 2,000 people who have generated more than $100 billion in ad sales, according to her company profile.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Yaccarino is also involved with the World Economic Forum, WEF, where she chairs the organization's taskforce on the future of work and sits on the media, entertainment and culture industry governors steering committee.
The executive's connection to a pandemic-era vaccination campaign has also bothered proponents of Twitter's more liberal content moderation policies, many of whom fear Yaccarino could bring back the stricter bars for misinformation that they struggled to clear before Musk did away with them.

Between 2010 and 2020, electricity bills rose 1.6 percent across the US, but twenty five percent in California. The reason for the difference are goofy green mandates.
Hence the exodus from California to Texas and Florida.

At around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday evening, police were called to an Arby's restaurant on Admiral Doyle Drive in New Iberia, Louisiana, about 20 miles south of Lafayette. When they arrived, they found that a store employee had found a female coworker unresponsive in the walk-in freezer. The woman was later pronounced deceased.

"What does justice for these victims require? It requires a conviction on each and every count," Wood said.
Defense attorney Jim Archibald countered that there was no evidence tying his client to the killings but plenty showing she was a loving, protective mother whose life took a sharp turn when she met her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, and fell for the "weird" apocalyptic religious claims of a cult leader.

It tops the previous record EU privacy fine of 746 million euros handed by Luxembourg to Amazon.com Inc in 2021.

Meta was hit with a record 1.2 billion euro ($1.3 billion) fine by its lead European Union privacy regulator over its handling of user information and given five months to stop transferring users' data to the United States.
Yeah, I can't see Meta doing that. More likely they'll ignore the fine, the EU will prance about making empty threats for a bit and ultimately back down.
Remember, Truedeaup tried to get Zuck to the table a few years back. Noises were made about Canada shutting off access to Fecesbook. Canadian Fecesbook lovers cried at the government. And that was about the sum total of it.
Come to think of it, Australia demanded Fecesbook and Jewgle pay a levy for reposted media content not long after. Three poofteenths of fuck all was the result there too.

Explosion of AP climate change stories following $8 million environmental grant
In the year following a grant of more than $8 million to the Associated Press from key climate change advocates, the news service has poured out at least 64 stories warning of environmental calamity, according to a new media study.
Media Research Center Business charted the stories and language used following the multimillion-dollar grant and found that AP also used over 500 environmental extremism buzzwords in the stories.
The media giant, which feeds news outlets worldwide, received grants totaling $8 million from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Quadrivium, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation in February 2022.
AP said it would hire 20 new environmental writers with the money to create a climate swat team to "enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world."
So far, it has lived up to its promise, said MRC Business, a branch of the conservative media watchdog.
In its study, provided to Secrets, MRC Business wrote, "The term 'Climate Change' itself appeared a whopping 212 times. 'Warming' and 'Global Warming' appeared 140 times collectively. 'Extreme(s)' emerged 32 times and 'Disaster(s)' and 'Climate Disaster' appeared a collective 30 times. One Dec. 9, 2022, AP story was headlined: 'New abnormal: Climate disaster damage down to $268 billion.'"

The Mississippi boy, Aderrien Murry, was shot in the chest by an Indianola Police Department officer in the early morning when the officer responded to a domestic disturbance call that the boy himself made, according to his mother, Nakala Murry, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
The mother told police that the father of another one of her children came to the home at 4 a.m. and was "irate," prompting her to ask her son Aderrien to call the police.
Upon arrival, Murry said the police officer "had his gun drawn at the front door and asked those inside the home to come outside." She said that her son was shot as he was coming around the corner of a hallway into the living room.
"Once he came from around the corner, he got shot," Murry said. "I cannot grasp why. The same cop that told him to come out of the house. [Aderrien] did, and he got shot. He kept asking, 'Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?'" she added.
Murry said it felt like the shooting happened "one to two minutes" after the officer's directives were given.
After the boy was shot, Murry placed her hand on his wound to apply pressure while the officer tried to give first aid. The officer then put his hand on top of hers to try to stop the bleeding.
The 11-year-old was given a chest tube and placed on a ventilator at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after developing a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and a lacerated liver because of the shooting, his mother said. He was since released from hospital, according to CNN.
The family has been calling for the police officer's firing and held a press conference with an attorney. Attendees held signs such as "Your 'best' cop shot my baby."
Attorney Carlos Moore promoted the press conference on his Twitter page, saying, "We demand Justice for Aderrien Murry! He was unarmed and only trying to follow his mom who was victim of domestic violence. Officer Greg Capers must be terminated! See you at 7 pm!" Moore wrote.

Only 43 percent of respondents now expect to comfortably live during retirement, down from 48 percent in 2022 and 57 percent in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2002 when the poll began, 59 percent of non-retirees expected to live comfortably post-retirement.

Chicago's North Avenue Beach opened at 11 a.m. on Friday. Police responded to several shots fired around 1:26 p.m. in the 1600 block of North Lake Shore Drive at the North Avenue Beach.
Video shows two groups of teens angrily confronting each other before gunshots erupt. There were approximately 100 people in the area when the shooting occurred. Video shows the windows of a Chicago Park District truck shot out.
The North Avenue Beach was immediately closed, as was the nearby bike path.
WBBM-TV reported, "Police said a group of young men got into a fight on the beach when someone pulled out a gun and started shooting."
Police arrested a 15-year-old boy, who they claim was the shooter. The suspect was charged with one count of aggravated assault discharge of firearm, and one count of criminal damage to property worth $500 to $10,000, both felonies.

The city of Chicago opened all 22 area beaches on Friday morning. However, one of the busiest beaches was closed only hours after opening because gunshots rang out.
Chicago's North Avenue Beach opened at 11 a.m. on Friday. Police responded to several shots fired around 1:26 p.m. in the 1600 block of North Lake Shore Drive at the North Avenue Beach.
Video shows two groups of teens angrily confronting each other before gunshots erupt. There were approximately 100 people in the area when the shooting occurred. Video shows the windows of a Chicago Park District truck shot out.
The North Avenue Beach was immediately closed, as was the nearby bike path.

Several news outlets are reporting that President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have reached a tentative deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling, narrowly avoiding the first default in United States history. Following a months-long standoff, the two sides reportedly struck a deal to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling.

If Congress approves the debt ceiling package, the pipeline, which is 94% complete, is expected to generate 2,500 construction jobs, $40 million in tax revenue for West Virginia, and $10 million for Virginia. It is anticipated to transport approximately 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily to consumers in the southeast.
The completion of the pipeline repeatedly has been stalled for years over environmental concerns and lengthy permitting processes.

I have my theories.... but in the end, they're only theories because I can't show any tangible proof in order to support them.
But isn't that the story of humanity? We, as modern humans, have existed for tens of thousands of years, yet all our faith systems only really started to take a seat at the religion (state power) tables over the last few thousand or so.
I disagree with Lokmar about Christianity for one reason alone....
....the uninitiated. Those that have never been preached to or told about the bible or Jesus.
Lokmar has an issue with anybody who rejects Christianity. That much is clear.
But what are thoughts of those that are unaware of it?
Do they still go to Christian hell for not accepting things they don't know about and were never informed of?
That's the starting block for Lokmar's undoing. He'll resist like a Harvest Festival queen on game night, but everybody knows a cherry is getting popped or re-popped...

In the bulletin, released on May 17, Carfax said that those vehicles are currently subject to "do not drive" and "park outside" safety recalls. About 10 states have more than 70,000 vehicles each driving on their roads, with California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania leading the way.
"All recalls need to be taken seriously, but these two types are more time-sensitive than most because they urge owners to either not operate their vehicle, or to park away from any structure to avoid a fire. There have been serious consequences from some of the problems that these vehicles are being recalled for," said Carfax on its website.
Meanwhile, Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief for Carfax, noted that many of the urgent recalls were issued more than a decade ago by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA). In elaborating, he told 11ABC last week that a "park outside" notice means that a vehicle has an elevated risk of causing a structure fire.

Despite intense scrutiny, BLM GNF persisted in hiring kin of its founder, Patrisse Cullors, and various board members. Paul Cullors, primarily known for his graffiti artistry with no experience in security, held a paid position as 'head of security,' garnering a $126,000 salary on top of his consulting fees.
Black Lives Matter's (BLM) national establishment faces the specter of bankruptcy, as its finances nosedived to an $8.5 million deficit last year, concurrently awarding multiple employees with salaries in the seven-figure range.
The Washington Free Beacon revealed the precarious financial state of BLM's Global Network Foundation (BLM GNF), a more formal structure for the civil rights movement that officially emerged in November 2020.
In the wake of Patrisse Cullors' resignation in May 2021, BLM GNF continued to attract controversy with lucrative hiring decisions. Among them, Shalomyah Bowers, who replaced Cullors, saw his consultancy firm amass $1.6 million for management and consulting services in 2022, according to the Free Beacon.
The sister of a board member also earned $1.1 million for "consulting."
Furthermore, BLM GNF struggled with a loss in investment value of nearly $10 million in the most recent tax year and an 88 percent decrease in donations between 2021 and 2022. Despite such a financial downturn, the group invested over $12 million in opulent properties in Los Angeles and Toronto, arousing widespread consternation.
In the midst of this financial storm, the group's new board of directors, led by nonprofit adviser Cicley Gay, appears to be mired in personal financial issues. Gay, who has been declared bankrupt three times, is now in the hot seat, with the task of reshaping the organization's finances in the wake of public scrutiny.
Fueled by this financial tumult, BLM has vowed to enhance transparency, citing an "internal audit" and "tightening compliance operations" as vital steps forward. Despite the organization's turbulent finances, its resolute commitment to "rebuild trust" and "sustain Black people for generations" remains unwavering. Supposedly.

According to data by Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ, sales of Bud Light dropped 25.7 percent for the week ending May 20, reported the New York Post. Its nearest rival, Modelo Especial, saw its sales increase by 9.2 percent for the same week, Williams said.
Overall, Bud Light's sales are down 24.3 percent for the four-week period that ended on May 20, the data show. Modelo, meanwhile, has grown by 8 percent in the same timeframe. Perhaps the biggest winner is Pennsylvania-based Yuengling, which bills itself as "America's Oldest Brewery," as the brand's Yuengling Flight has increased by 47.6 percent in the four-week period.
"While Bud Light loses week after week, Modelo Especial gains week after week and now Modelo outsells Bud Light on a national basis across all trade channels combined," marketing consultant Williams told the New York Post about the latest figures.

So I heard a rumor on the net that Jaime Foxx has a blood clot on the brain and he is now half paralyzed and blind and everyone is blaming the jab. Normally I would dismiss this as trolling but it seems to be picking up, I'm seeing reports on news sites and influencers are starting to talk about it. Hope the guy recovers regardless.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WH_C1OzBLg

Speaking at the Bernstein 39th Annual Strategic Decisions Conference, Isom stated, "We would deploy properly to markets that aren't being served. We would do that today. It's just we don't have the pilots."
This issue arises at a time when the airline industry is witnessing a record demand for travel, particularly during the summer season. However, the capacity to meet this demand is constrained by the lack of pilots, leading to grounded planes and missed opportunities to capitalize on high ticket prices. Isom noted that the situation is more severe than the previous year when the pilot shortage began to significantly affect regional airlines as demand rebounded following the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 31, a viral video revealed a male cast member dressed in woman's clothing working with little girls at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Disneyland Park.
Taking its name and overall inspiration from Walt Disney Animation's feature film "Cinderella" and the Fairy Godmother's magic words, which triggers Cinderella's "rags to riches" transformation, the boutique is a long-established extra-cost service that gives guests under 12 the opportunity to dress up like their favorite princess. Boys also have the opportunity to be transformed into Prince Charming or a knight.
Until now, the boutique was operated by an all-woman staff with the title of Fairy Godmother. But this video coming out of Disneyland appears to prove those days are over. And while integrating men into the Disneyfied beauty parlor may not ruffle too many feathers, the video shows that this obviously male Disneyland cast member was dressed like a woman—makeup, dress, and all.

The company made the announcement in a blog post on Friday, which comes about two months after it reinstated former President Donald Trump's YouTube account.
Trump's account on YouTube was suspended in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, which came as the former president alleged that the 2020 election had been stolen.
YouTube established its "elections misinformation" policy in December 2020, and on Friday said that in the time since it was imposed, the company had removed tens of thousands of videos.
"We carefully deliberated this change," YouTube said, citing a "changed landscape" in which the 2024 election campaign is in full swing and that removing election-related content could stifle political speech.
"In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm," the company said.
YouTube pledged that, starting Friday, it will stop removing content that advances claims that "widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past US Presidential elections."

EPA said in a June 5 press release that it had reached a settlement with Anheuser-Busch, resolving the company's violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and the Clean Air Act's chemical accident prevention requirements.
As part of the settlement, the Bud Light maker must pay a $537,000 fine and is required to implement a comprehensive safety review at 11 of its breweries where a hazardous chemical called anhydrous ammonia is used.
Breweries that use anhydrous ammonia as part of the refrigeration system must comply with strict safety regulations regarding handling and storage of the chemical to protect both staff and the community.
An EPA investigation of three of Anheuser-Busch's facilities in New Hampshire, Colorado, and California led to findings of non-compliance.

The Cleveland Clinic recently partnered with OneTen, a group dedicated to "clos[ing] the opportunity gap for Black talent in America," according to the organization's website.
"OneTen's mission is to hire, promote and advance one million Black individuals who do not have a four-year degree into family-sustaining careers over the next ten years," the website reads.
However, Do No Harm program manager Laura Morgan told the DCNF that the clinic's diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices could deteriorate the quality of its patient care.
"This is bad for healthcare because it places all the focus on identity and race-based criteria instead of weighing merit and achievement for all applicants," Morgan stated. "Cleveland Clinic has a reputation for world-class patient care. It needs to maintain that commitment instead of engaging in policies that promote the ideologies of the DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) narrative."

Four toddlers, between the ages of 1 and 3, were cut up along with two adults, ages 70 and 78. Despite their life-threatening wounds, all victims survived, though two remain in critical condition.
The attacker, identified as Abdalmasih H., moved from Syria to Sweden in 2013, where he married a native Swede whom he previously met in Turkey. The couple, who have a 3-year-old together, recently split up, reported the Telegraph.
The attacker, recently fined for simultaneously claiming a student grant and unemployment support, had his asylum request granted in Sweden in April 2023, though made clear he'd prefer to live in France, having submitted an asylum bid to that effect in November 2022.
While French authorities rejected his asylum request on April 26, his approved claim in Sweden enabled the attacker to travel throughout the European Union passport-free.
A witness, identified as Ferdinand, told the broadcaster BFMTV that after the attacker entered the playground, "he started screaming, he walked towards the strollers and started repeatedly stabbing the little ones."

The agency issued the warning in a public service announcement on June 6, drawing attention to how malicious actors take advantage of image and video editing tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to create deepfakes, which are fake media created from otherwise benign content.
"The FBI continues to receive reports from victims, including minor children and non-consenting adults, whose photos or videos were altered into explicit content," the agency said in the alert. "The photos or videos are then publicly circulated on social media or pornographic websites, for the purpose of harassing victims or sextortion schemes."
The agency noted that it has observed an increase in the number of victims reporting sextortion as of April this year, with fake media being created using "content posted on their social media sites or web postings, provided to the malicious actor upon request, or captured during video chats."

According to Boston.com, on June 2, 2023, students at Marshall Simonds Middle School showed their obvious displeasure with the school's "spirit day" celebration. The event was requested and sponsored by the school's Spectrum Club, a student group for alleged LGBTQ+ students and allies, according to the outlet.
The club decorated the school with "Happy Pride Month" signs and posters that said "Why it's not OK to say 'That's so gay.'" Rainbow streamers, banners, and stickers were handed out, while students and faculty were encouraged to wear rainbow clothing.
Opposing students reportedly tore down banners and signs and chanted "U.S.A. are my pronouns" as they wore red, white, and blue clothes with their faces painted. The outlet also reported that students were seen "being inappropriate" with the rainbow stickers used during the event.

A white woman who formerly worked as a regional manager for Starbucks has won a civil rights lawsuit in which she claimed that she was fired because of her race.
On Monday, a federal jury awarded Shannon Phillips a whopping $25 million in punitive damages and an additional $600,000 in compensatory damages after members unanimously agreed that Starbucks had fired her on racial grounds. "I was terminated because I am white," Phillips said in court documents filed in 2019. "If I was black, I would not have been terminated. I was terminated because I complained of and objected to race discrimination."
The circumstances surrounding Phillips' termination began five years ago, when two black men, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, were infamously arrested at a Starbucks store in Philadelphia after employees told them they could not use the store restrooms unless they first made a purchase. The men refused to leave or purchase anything, insisting that they were still waiting on a third party. Because of their intransigence that day, an employee eventually called the cops, and the two were arrested, though they were never charged with any crime.
Phillips, who worked for Starbucks for 13 years, was not the manager on duty when the arrest took place, nor was she involved in the decision to call police on Nelson and Robinson. In fact, she was a regional director responsible for overseeing 100 stores spanning parts of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and had little input in the day-to-day operations of those establishments.
Yet she alleged in the lawsuit that she and other white employees became scapegoats, suspended or let go from their jobs "to convince the community that [Starbucks] had properly responded to the incident." Soon after it happened, Phillips claimed she was ordered to place a white manager, who had been with the company for 15 years, on administrative leave for supposed racial discrimination, even though Phillips did not believe the man had done anything wrong.
Phillips also noted in court documents that the district manager of the store where the arrests occurred is black but that he had not been reprimanded or otherwise penalized for his connection with the incident.

People reacted with shock after all three contestants on an episode of the long-running "Jeopardy!" quiz show were apparently stumped by an elementary Bible knowledge-related question.
None of the three players rang in to respond when host Mayim Bialik presented a clue that read, "MATTHEW 6:9 SAYS, 'OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN', THIS 'BE THY NAME.'"
After the apparently clueless contestants failed to offer a response, Bialik supplied the answer: "Hallowed be thy name."

Statistics Canada reports that the country's population has been growing at a "record-setting pace," with 1,050,110 additional people arriving in 2022 - the first time in history the agency says the population grew by more than one million people in a single year. It's also the highest annual population growth rate on record since 1957, when the baby boom after the Second World War contributed to very high rates.
This trend of growth comes "in large part" from permanent and temporary migration, the agency says, and if current trends continue the population could reach 50 million in just 20 years.

Canada's population is about to hit the major milestone of 40 million. And according to that clock, Canada will hit the 40-million mark just before 3 p.m. Eastern on June 16.

People are going to see the Law of Diminishing Returns in action happen right before their very eyes with these numbers... Which I understand, but the left does not, nor does the right to be honest, but they both will...
Once they've realized that their kids or grand kids will never be able to own a home in this country, they just might put 2+2 together and realize that insane immigration levels isn't solving that problem, contrary to what we've been told.
Once they've realized that they'll sit for 10 hours in an ER room waiting to be seen, or wait months or even years for a procedure, they'll realize that these millions of immigrants aren't actually helping as we've been told they would... The reality is, the more we bring in, the worse it gets. The left are starting to open their eyes now too, but are just one step away from admitting that we're taking in too many, too fast, as that would be racist. The right still wants the massive influx, because they're pro-business and simply want the consumers for growth for selling you their product, which is likely made in China, and also for the cheap disposable labour they provide also.
There's no easy answer, solution, or a fix to this problem. Housing is the only 'pension plan' many Canadians have (myself included), and to let that house of cards Ponzi scheme collapse would be detrimental also. This scenario should never have been allowed to permeate in the first place...
I vote PPC, simply because this country cannot absorb the amount of people that we're absorbing now, and they are the ONLY party that wants to reduce those levels until our infrastructure can handle them.
Every other mainstream party will now jam 1,100,000, or more, into this country every single year, because they've been told to do so by entities like the (((Century Initiative))).

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the new ruling in Haaland v. Brackeen (court file 21-376) which was consolidated with three other related cases. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is the petitioner.
The June 15 decision is a victory for the Biden administration, which argued in favor of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which was enacted by Congress in 1978 to prevent non-Indian families from adopting Native American children. The statute was a reaction to perceived historical injustices and concerns that Indian children were being removed from their traditional homes and Indian culture and placed in homes that had no connection to their culture. The Bureau of Indian Affairs used to pay states to carry out the adoptions.

I wholeheartedly agree with Mel and Herm about Canadian immigration annual intake. It's well beyond excessive. It's totally unsustainable.
The government is attempting to keep things from popping due to mismanagement and corrupt policies. So for instance, the house/property pictured below was my Grandparents house that I was basically raised in. Granted, it was well kept and maintained over the years then and since, but it's still nonetheless a 2,100 sq/ft home on 1/3 acre. There is nothing fancy here in my opinion, at least by Canadian standards. My Grandfather alone paid the mortgage on that house on his union blue collar job alone.
Our housing market will never be allowed to pop. It is the ultimate Ponzi scheme. People ask me, "But Steve, how can these immigrants afford them then?"
By stuffing 20 of them into a fucking two bedroom apartment on bunk beds to build equity. That's how they do it. That too will eventually fail. That's a Ponzi scheme upon itself, luring desperate immigrants into Canada with the promise of wealth and prosperity, for them only to find that they're paying $1,000+/month for a fucking spot on a bunk bed with 20 other stinky EI's, working at Horton's or Uber for minimum wage, and not even realizing that their strip-mall fake college degree they're paying for here is worthless.
The ride can't last forever... Even the browns are smart enough to start questioning Canada and its viability, so now we're amping up the importation of niggers, which I'm sure will work out real well in the long run...

"This event is another example of President Biden weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hardworking Americans for exercising their constitutional rights," Rosendale said in a letter to leaders of the Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Twenty heavily armed federal agents pulled in behind Highwood Creek Outfitters' owner Tom Van Hoose as he arrived at his shop Wednesday morning.
IRS agents confiscated background check forms from the store that contained sensitive personal information about all customers who ever purchased a gun at the shop. The forms do not include financial information, Rosendale said, calling the act an "egregious breach of privacy" that "showed no regard for federal law."

We know. Property taxes is the best way to force a home owner out. This has happened in Langley, where I was born and raised, to everyone that owned a larger parcel of land (3 to 5 acre hobby farm type shit), when the average guy could once purchase such a property.
Jack that land value up today to $10,000,000, which they do, and the average yearly wage wouldn't cover the property tax alone on that property now, even though they utilize no more public services than a dude living in a condo.
It forces the sale. My property here where I live now is ALR (basically farm status). My neighbour to the left isn't in ALR, as it was built a few years later, so they've already planned to kick him in the nuts in the near future.
I could linger here a bit longer starting a Christmas Tree Farm should I need to (easiest way to maintain working farm tax status), but then again there's nothing that stops them from rezoning my ALR status into regular land.

Oh, I know. And what a lot here fail to realise is there is no limit to how high those taxes can be set. Incremental increases ensure that it is highly unlikely there will ever be enough people to stand in opposition to them, particularly not if there is the added division of "muh climate change" or "muh refugee housing shortage" (or similar) thrown in to confuse the issue further.

"After concluding that this statute criminalizes immigration advocacy and other protected speech, the Ninth Circuit held it unconstitutionally overbroad under the First Amendment. That was error," Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, wrote for the majority.
"Properly interpreted, this provision forbids only the intentional solicitation or facilitation of certain unlawful acts," she added.
The law in question prohibits encouraging or inducing illegal immigration for "commercial advantage or private financial gain."

"We believe recent underperformance implies a permanent reduction in ABI's U.S. business," Deutsche Bank analyst Mitch Collett wrote for Barron's, referring to Anheuser-Busch InBev, the parent company of Bud Light. "Our proprietary survey data suggests these headwinds are likely to fade even if we do not expect the U.S. business ever to fully recover from its current challenges."

The dispute focused on documents related to the lease of the government property in downtown Washington that housed the hotel. Democrats claimed that Trump received a sweetheart deal and demanded documentation from the government, which refused their request.
Trump left the presidency in January 2021, and The Trump Organization sold the lease to the property in May 2022 to CGI Merchant Group for an undisclosed sum. The hotel is now known as the Waldorf Astoria Washington D.C. and is part of Hilton Worldwide.
If the case had been heard and Democrats had prevailed, the minority party in Congress would have gained a great deal more power going forward to investigate a president's administration of the opposite party, even if the minority party lacked the committee votes required to issue a subpoena.
The Supreme Court had just decided on May 15 to hear the case, but Democratic lawmakers advised the court on June 7 that they had voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in the lower courts.
The case is Carnahan v. Maloney, court file 22-425.

Japan's plans to release radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean are consistent with international safety standards, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has concluded.
The findings, published on July 4 (pdf), followed a comprehensive assessment and safety review of the treated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), according to the U.N. watchdog.
The IAEA also stated that "controlled, gradual discharges of the treated water to the sea" as currently planned by Japan's government and the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), would have a "negligible radiological impact on people and the environment."
The report is the result of a nearly two-year assessment conducted by an IAEA task force made up of top specialists from within the agency advised by "internationally recognized nuclear safety experts from eleven countries," according to a statement.
About 1.2 million cubic meters of water that have been used to cool the fuel rods of the Fukushima plant will be released under the plan over the next three to four decades in order to prevent accidental leaks and to allow for the plant's decommissioning.
As part of the plan, the IAEA stated that it will conduct an independent and objective safety review during the discharge phase, with a continued on-site presence and live online monitoring throughout.

Called "Threads," the Meta-backed microblogging platform is billed as "Instagram's text-based conversation app," according to a listing on Apple's App Store.
The listing indicates that Threads will released on Thursday, July 6.
"Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow," the app description reads.
Before it became clear that Thread would be the name of Meta's challenger to Twitter, there were reports in early June that the Zuckerberg-led company was working on a Twitter competitor code named Project 92 or P92.

Dawn Desjardins, chief economist at Deloitte Canada, says the high immigration rates in Canada so far this year are offsetting job gains, driving up the overall unemployment rate.
Canada now has the highest total annual immigration rate of any Western nation per capita. I feel this is a test to see how well, or how not well, a White Western nation can absorb high numbers of pretty much every ethnicity on Earth.
I predict this experiment won't end well.

The crisis was triggered by a push by Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD party to limit the flow of illegal immigrants to the Netherlands, which two of his four-party government coalition refused to support.
"It's no secret that the coalition partners have differing opinions about immigration policy. Today we unfortunately have to conclude that those differences have become insurmountable. Therefore I will tender the resignation of the entire cabinet to the king," Mr. Rutte said in a televised news conference.
Tensions came to a head this week, when Mr. Rutte demanded support for a proposal to limit entrance of children of war refugees who are already in the Netherlands and to make families wait at least two years before they can be united.
This latest proposal went too far for the small Christian Union and liberal D66, causing a stalemate.
Mr. Rutte's coalition will stay on as a caretaker government until a new administration is formed after new elections, a process which in the fractured Dutch political landscape usually takes months.
News agency ANP, citing the national elections committee, said elections would not be held before mid-November.
A caretaker government cannot decide on new policies, but Mr. Rutte said it would not affect the country's support for Ukraine.
The Netherlands already has one of Europe's toughest immigration policies, but under pressure from some parties, Mr. Rutte had for months been trying to seek ways to further reduce the inflow of illegal immigrants.
Asylum applications in the Netherlands jumped by a third last year to over 46,000, and the government has projected they could increase to more than 70,000 this year—topping the previous high of 2015.
This will again put a strain on the country's asylum facilities, where for months last year, hundreds of refugees at a time were forced to sleep in the rough with little or no access to drinking water, sanitary facilities, or health care.
Mr. Rutte last year said he felt "ashamed" of the problems, after humanitarian group Medecins sans Frontieres sent in a team to the Netherlands for the first time ever, to assist with the illegal immigrants' medical needs at the centre for processing asylum requests.
He promised to improve conditions at the facilities, mainly by reducing the number of illegal immigrants that reach the Netherlands. But he failed to win the backing of coalition partners who felt his policies went too far.
Mr. Rutte, 56, is the longest-serving government leader in Dutch history and the most senior in the EU after Hungary's Viktor Orban. He is expected to lead his VVD party again at the next elections.
Mr. Rutte's current coalition, which came to power in January 2022, was his fourth consecutive administration since he became prime minister in October 2010.

PublicSq., a marketplace touted as a pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom "patriotic parallel economy," is set to go public.
This initiative is the latest effort by conservatives to divest from a liberal marketplace that appears increasingly antipathetic to their traditional values and hell-bent on their subordination.
Michael Seifert, the company's founder and CEO, announced in a webinar Monday that PublicSq. was going public through the SPAC Colombier Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: $CLBR) on July 20.
Businesswire previously reported that following the business combination, the combined company will be renamed "PSQ Holdings, Inc." and will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "PSQH" and "PSQH WS."
According to Seifert, his marketplace will accommodate patriots "passionate about putting your values into the commerce experience, voting with your wallets, [and] supporting the small businesses that make this nations so special."

Ms. Mace said lawmakers were told during the closed-door briefing that investigators were unable to determine who brought the cocaine into the West Wing and how long it was before it was discovered on July 2. It was first identified as an "unknown item" and prompted a brief evacuation. Ya, right.

The executive, Anson Frericks, a former president of operations for Anheuser-Busch, recently spoke with Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" and said that Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth should have responded differently to the ongoing controversy. Mr. Frericks said that Mr. Whitworth should have responded by saying, "'We wouldn't do this again 'cause we've lost billions of dollars of market cap. Our brands are down almost 30 percent, and all of a sudden, we're putting a lot of our suppliers at risk, and they're laying off hundreds of people from jobs at some of their suppliers.'"
"I think there's going to be some permanent damage to this brand," Mr. Frericks told Newsweek on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a long way to go to get back the market share they lost and a lot of headwind in front of them."

The executive, Anson Frericks, a former president of operations for Anheuser-Busch, recently spoke with Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" and said that Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth should have responded differently to the ongoing controversy. Mr. Frericks said that Mr. Whitworth should have responded by saying, "'We wouldn't do this again 'cause we've lost billions of dollars of market cap. Our brands are down almost 30 percent, and all of a sudden, we're putting a lot of our suppliers at risk, and they're laying off hundreds of people from jobs at some of their suppliers.'"
"I think there's going to be some permanent damage to this brand," Mr. Frericks told Newsweek on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a long way to go to get back the market share they lost and a lot of headwind in front of them."

I don't give a fuck if people from AB or mob-connected beer distributors get laid off because of the Bud Light fiasco. I never drank their piss anyway and the CEO trying to make people feel guilty because he has to lay people off can go fuck himself too. He ain't losing his job, is he?

I used to work for Miller/Coors doing advertising shit. Most all of the big Brands are owned by ImBev, a global corporation. Bud Light is just a Division of AB which in turn is majority-owned by InBev. Even Modelo, which has been the big winner with Bud Light's demise (and is not bad beer IMO) is owned by InBev.
My favorite American piss beer is Heilemann's Old Style™, which is owned by Miller/Coors which in turned is owned by InBev.
Can't get away from the Big Corps, brother, and when I want a cold frosty one, I'll buy a 12 of Old Style™ for 8 or 9 bucks versus shelling out 10 bucks or so for a six pack of an independent brew. It's just pocket economics.

Reproduction or no, it's still a great buy. Reminds me of a bunch of plates and bowls my grandmother had scrimped and saved for in the years following WW2, the pattern on them was different from yours, but the china itself...
I can't explain it, you only know it when you look at it. A warmth you rarely get to see in today's stuff. I get the feeling it's something sentimental, something you cherish. So again... good luck with it.ac_smile
I love English bone china and have a collection... it was a big deal collecting it in the 19 hundreds by most women.
I posted pictures of my collection at 3rd Rail.
The base hasn't been fixed yet...looks like it is on hold for now unless I do it.
It's going to need a steady hand, patience and attention to detail. Not something I'd undertake as my first attempt at serious restoration, I'd want a bit of practice gluing together lesser value breakages myself, testing for strength and smoothness of the end result. Your piece might as well be regarded as a one of a kind for all the likelihood of you encountering it again.
I can tell you this much though, if you do end up attempting it and it all goes smoothly, the pride in a well executed end result... the sense of "I did that" is hard to beat. You would know from your years in photography that there are those perfectly captured moments. It's like that.
There's also no shame in preferring to wait for someone with more skill in such matters to undertake the repair. I haven't seen the pieces myself so I can't really judge what's involved. But I do sense that there is a love for that bowl there. As frustrating as the waiting might be, if the end result is a perfectly restored bowl you can put on your table, whether when entertaining guests or simply for yourself, that will be worth it, no matter who has fixed it.

And then there are some chips to. Of course it is now rendered valueless I guess.
For resale perhaps. But you aren't looking to sell it, are you?
There are other metrics you might value such a piece by. Personal enjoyment being one of them. If you are confident in your abilities to restore it, that would be another measure of its worth. If you do go that route, take all the time in the world you need. Look at it long and hard, plan out what order to glue the pieces in and give each piece time to set before adding the next one would be my advice. Some ceramic glue, some gloves, a wet rag to wipe away excess glue before it sets etc. Watch a ton of YouTube tutorials to get ideas from others before you start, that sort of thing.
And feel free to post photos of the end result, especially if you're pleased with it. Even if you get someone else to do the repair, you can take pride in their work, if you undertake it yourself then you've every right to be pleased as Punch in yourself.

Mega retailer Target hasn't recovered from consumer boycotts triggered after the company promoted Pride merchandise, with share prices and market cap declining significantly along with financial and popularity metrics.
American consumers started boycotting Target in May, after the retail chain rolled out its Pride collection, which included some items that targeted children, including books, home décor products, and transgender swimsuits for adults with a "tuck-friendly" feature.
In the first two weeks of May, when the company's Pride controversy began to go viral, its market capitalization declined by $1.85 billion.
In the three weeks between May 15 and June 5, the market cap fell by an additional $11.66 billion.
Though the market cap recovered somewhat to $60.34 billion as of July 10, it's still $11.7 billion less than what it was on May 1.

"Today, a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI's Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower's testimony," committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a July 17 statement.
Mr. Comer did not reveal the identity of the former FBI agent.
He further claimed that the night before the interview of Hunter Biden, "both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned interview."
"On the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach Hunter Biden—they had to wait for his call. As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation," he continued.

NDP founder Tommy Douglas under review as national historic figure
'The Historic Sites and Monuments Board noted that Tommy Douglas wrote a master's thesis on eugenics'
Tommy Douglas, the founding father of the federal New Democratic Party and Canada's health-care system, is under review as a national historic figure, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board is taking a second look at his "controversial beliefs and behaviour," which included advocating for unwed mothers to be sterilized.
In 2019, a federal plaque was unveiled in Regina in Douglas' honour. The board at the time described him as a "skilled politician, witty orator and advocate for social justice."
Douglas was also crowned the "Greatest Canadian" in 2004 following a call-in and online vote held by the CBC.
While attending McMaster University in 1933, Douglas wrote a master's thesis that advocated government measures against people with "low mental rating" or "moral standards below normal who are delinquent."
Those people included unwed mothers, prostitutes and others who were a financial burden to society. His thesis was based on a dozen welfare families in Weyburn, Sask. during the Depression.
In a June 1934 article, Douglas praised the "science of eugenics," the sterilization of people regarded unfit for society.
"The rising generation will tend to build a heaven on earth rather than to live in misery in the hope of gaining some uncertain reward in the dim, distant future," he wrote.
Douglas, who became Saskatchewan premier and health minister in 1944 and founded the NDP in 1961, rejected a eugenics program.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board also said it was checking about 2,100 historic commemorations dating from 1919 for "outdated or offensive terms or word choices" and "an absence of a significant layer of history most frequently associated with the exclusion of Indigenous peoples."

Animals hopped up on cocaine is not a new concept; the February film "Cocaine Bear" loosely chronicled the bizarre true story of when a 175-pound black bear ingested cocaine that was thrown out of a drug smuggling plane in 1985.
However, with Discovery Channel's Shark Week right around the corner, scientists have revealed the possible discovery of sharks in the Atlantic Ocean that have ingested cocaine.
Experts say that sharks may be gobbling up bales of drugs that were dumped into the water off the coast by smugglers.
Biologists studying the phenomenon reported seeing a hammerhead shark swimming into discarded packages and biting into them.
After ingesting the drugs, the sharks were observed to be behaving erratically, causing what scientists call "crazy brain."
A documentary focusing on sharks on cocaine is set to premiere during Shark Week, which begins on Sunday.

The U.S. Supreme Court on July 27 allowed Equitrans Midstream Corp. to resume the building of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, granting what some described as a win for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) by lifting a lower-court order that blocked work on the project.
In a brief order (pdf), the high court suggested that it would possibly consider lawsuits issued by environmental groups. "Although the Court does not reach applicant's suggestion that it treat the application as a petition for a writ of mandamus at this time, that determination is without prejudice to further consideration in light of subsequent developments," it said.
"The application to vacate stays presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted," the Supreme Court added. It didn't provide any explanation of its decision.

Confidence in one of the most trusted institutions in the United States, the military, has fallen to its lowest point in more than 25 years, according to a new poll by Gallup.
On Monday, Gallup shared the results of a June poll, which found about 60 percent of U.S. adults who were surveyed expressed either a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the U.S. military, while the remainder expressed "very little" or only "some" confidence in the military. This figure marks the lowest level of confidence in the U.S. military since 1997.
The drop in support was most significant among respondents who identified as Republican. Since Gallup began polling trust in the military in 1975, Republicans have typically held the highest degree of confidence in the U.S. military. In the final year of President Donald Trump's presidency, 91 percent of Republican respondents had expressed moderate to high confidence in the military. Now only 68 percent of Republican respondents feel that way, a 23-point drop.
The U.S. military also lost a significant measure of trust and confidence from independent voters. In 2019, 73 percent of independents felt a moderate to high confidence in the military, but that number fell to 68 percent in 2020 and has since dropped an additional 13 points.

Global prices for food commodities like rice and vegetable oil have risen for the first time in months after Russia pulled out of a wartime agreement allowing Ukraine to ship grain to the world, and India restricted some of its rice exports, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Friday.
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of commonly traded food commodities, increased 1.3% in July over June, driven by higher costs for rice and vegetable oil. It was the first uptick since April, when higher sugar prices bumped up the index slightly for the first time in a year.

Hiring roughly held steady in July as employers added 187,000 jobs despite high interest rates and inflation.
The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a separate survey of households, dipped from 3.6% to 3.5%, the Labor Department said Friday.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated that 200,000 jobs were added last month.
Payroll gains for May and June were revised down by a total of 49,000, portraying a somewhat softer spring labor market than believed. The June rise in employment was downgraded to 185,000 from 209,000. As a result, June and July mark the first months of sub-200,000 job gains since December 2020.
Kathy Bostjancic, Nationwide's chief economist, says the report doesn't tip the scales either way in the Fed's decision whether to hold interest rates steady the rest of the year after a historic flurry of rate increases or approve an additional hike as soon as mid-September. The central bank, she says, will want to see the August jobs report and two more monthly inflation readings before making that call next month.

Biden won't even give RFK Secret Service protection which is customary for presidential candidates. His father was assasinated while running for president.

The governor of Massachusetts on Aug. 8 declared an emergency over the influx of immigrants, a number of whom are in the country illegally.
Gov. Maura Healey said that the state's shelter system is nearing a breaking point due to "rapidly rising numbers" of immigrants, even after the creation of new emergency sites at places like Joint Base Cape Cod to try to handle the increase.
"Demand has increased to levels that our emergency shelter system cannot keep up with, especially as the number of families leaving shelter has dwindled due to a lack of affordable housing options and barriers to securing work," Ms. Healey, a Democrat, said in a statement.

The Supreme Court voted 5–4 midday on Aug. 8 to allow the Biden administration's rule regulating so-called ghost guns that can be assembled at home to remain in force while the case remains pending before a federal appeals court.
The government's "frame or receiver" rule goes back to April 2022. It requires individuals who assemble homemade firearms to add serial numbers to them. The rule also mandates background checks for consumers who buy gun-assembly kits from dealers.
Pieces of guns that are shipped are nonetheless still guns subject to existing laws, the government argued in court filings.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan opposed the request by prosecutors to bar former President Donald Trump from revealing non-sensitive evidence provided to him by the prosecutors ahead of the trial on whether he conspired to illegally obstruct the counting of the 2020 electoral votes.
During an Aug. 11 hearing in Washington, she decided to issue a gag order that only forbids the release of information prosecutors label as sensitive.
The prosecutors, with the office of special counsel Jack Smith, requested a blanket gag order, citing concerns over safety and intimidation of witnesses.
The judge questioned the defense over the potential use of non-sensitive information to intimidate witnesses.
President Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, a former federal prosecutor himself, responded that President Trump will abide by the pre-trial conditions, which already prohibit witness intimidation. He stressed that it's the prosecutors' job to prove why such a abroad restriction of the 45th president's First Amendment rights is necessary.
He noted that the burden on President Trump's rights is already significant, given that its up to the prosecutors to decide what information is and isn't sensitive.

District Judge Brantley Starr ordered on Monday that Southwest has to organize religious freedom training and send a short notice to all its flight attendants regarding the protections on religious speech, after a lawsuit filed by flight attendant Charlene Carter.
Ms. Carter was fired by Southwest after expressing her views on abortion on social media. Southwest said this violated its "civility policy."

Five congressional Democrats have asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over gifts he reportedly received from conservative billionaires.
The letter (pdf), dated Aug. 11, was signed by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), and Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).
After left-wing media outlet ProPublica published a series of reports in recent months, the lawmakers urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) "to launch an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for consistently failing to report significant gifts he received from Harlan Crow and other billionaires for nearly two decades—in defiance of his duty under federal law."
The most recent ProPublica report, which was published Aug. 10, stated that Justice Thomas "has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood."
The report listed at least "38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast."

The state of Texas is suing Planned Parenthood, and the organization argued that it may go out of business if the lawsuit is successful.
"This baseless case is an active effort to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers," said Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood wrongfully accepted payment from Medicaid during a time when the state was suing to end those funds.
Texas first notified the abortion provider that it would end Medicaid payments in December 2016. The organization sued and got a federal court to agree with it, which allowed it to continue Medicaid. In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that ruling, and it was upheld in 2021.

Residents in a tiny U.K. village are upset that their council has agreed to purchase an estate for more than $2 million (£1.8 million), where prices for each individual house are nearly double that of local homeowners.
Locals from the rural town of Langtoft, Lincolnshire, England, are reportedly crying out over plans to house Afghan and Ukrainian refugee families in the village with a population just over 2,000, as of 2011 census reports.
The Daily Mail reported that while the average property prices in the village are just over $500,000 (£400,000), the houses the local government purchased are worth more than $890,000 (£700,000).

Three large healthcare groups — the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the Emergency Nurses Association — issued a joint letter Wednesday warning of an ongoing and worsening crisis: children presenting in emergency rooms with mental health issues that hospitals are not equipped to handle.
According to the report, "Emergency department (ED) visits by children and youth with mental and behavioral health (MBH) emergencies in the United States have been increasing over the last decade. At the same time, there has been an increased prevalence of depression and suicide in pediatrics."
The report states that the problem is especially acute among black school-aged children, who have a suicide rate that is two times higher than white children.
Most troubling, the report notes that emergency rooms "have a wide variation in their capability to care for pediatric patients with MBH conditions," and that "There is often inconsistent screening for self-harm risks and substance use in patients presenting for both mental health concerns and other complaints."
Dr. Willough Jenkins, medical director of emergency and consultation psychitry at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, told NBC News that the number of kids seeking psychiatric emergency care in her ER has increased thirty-fold in recent years. "The volume is astronomical, and I don't know that people fully understand how many people are struggling," Jenkins said.

The Fulton County Sheriff claimed that Donald Trump will be treated like local inmates during the booking process, with no special accommodations accorded to the former U.S. president.
"If you're indicted, then we're going to treat you as though you're indicted here locally, and so we'll consider you to do fingerprints, mugshots, etc." said Sheriff Patrick Labatt to CNN.
Charles Rambo, a retired lieutenant of the sheriff's office, said to the media outlet that once inside "they would be pat down, led to the booking office in the rear. From there, they probably have to have ties and shoe strings and all those types of things taken. Then, from there the persons would be fingerprinted, given a booking photo."
President Trump along with the other defendants are expected to be photographed for mugshots. It is unclear whether Trump or any of the high-profile co-defendants would go through all steps typically taken by a prisoner at the facility.
"I don't expect Trump to spend hours in this jail because the longer he is, it's a pain. It's going to be a hassle for the entire sheriff's department or at least those who are at the jail when the president's there. It's going to be a circus," said Chris Timmons, former Georgia prosecutor to CNN. "The 'Rice Street' jail is not a pleasant place. It's dirty, it's scary."

The Associated Press reported that a court filing indicated the state plans to put Smith to death using nitrogen hypoxia. The execution has been authorized in three states, but it has never been used.

The mysterious company that has been buying up large swathes of land near Travis Air Force Base in Solano County in Northern California has unveiled a new website detailing plans to build a new metropolitan city.
The Delaware-registered firm, Flannery Associates LLC, has spent nearly $1 billion purchasing more than 50,000 acres of land surrounding Travis Air Force Base since 2018, public records show.
California Forever is the parent company of Flannery Associates, according to its new website.
It was founded in 2017 by CEO Jan Sramek, a former Goldman Sachs trader, and is backed by billionaires including Marc Andreessen and Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
"Over the last few years, Flannery has purchased over 50,000 acres in Solano County. To date, our company has been quiet about our activities. This has, understandably, created interest, concern, and speculation," the website states. "Now that we're no longer limited by confidentiality, we are eager to begin a conversation about the future of Solano County a conversation with all of you."
The website goes on to state that Solano County, like much of California, "faces many challenges, but also possesses countless opportunities."

Another bad decision by the US Supreme Court.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Sept. 14 temporarily placed on hold a lower court ruling that restricted federal agencies from contacting social media firms with requests to remove content while the justices consider how to handle the case.
His order froze a recent appeals court decision that found that federal officials likely violated First Amendment protections by coercing some platforms into deleting certain posts and content. A lawsuit was filed by Missouri and Louisiana last year against the Biden administration, accusing federal officials of trying to censor people with certain viewpoints.
A district judge in July blocked a multitude of federal agencies from communicating with social media firms, while the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept. 8 partially upheld the ruling. The appeals court allowed certain agencies to still contact those companies and argued that the lower court's order was too broad.
Justice Alito's order pauses the lower court's decision until Sept. 22. The justice, who was nominated by President George W. Bush, is the justice designated by the court to act on matters coming from several states, including Louisiana.
Any response to the application has to be filed with the Supreme Court by 4 p.m. on Sept. 20, Justice Alito ordered.
The court's action on Sept. 14 came just a few hours after the Biden administration had asked the court to put the lower court's order on hold while it prepares a formal appeal.

The Supreme Court's landmark decision last year on the right to carry guns outside the home for self-defense purposes didn't invalidate the longstanding gun law that bars felons from owning firearms, according to an opinion written by a circuit court judge.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit wrote that the Supreme Court decision on the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen "created a new test for determining the scope of the Second Amendment," but it didn't "appear to question the constitutionality of longstanding prohibitions on possession of firearms by convicted felons."
"If anything, Bruen contains two potential signs of support for these prohibitions," an opinion written (pdf) by 10th Circuit Judge Robert Bacharach said in a separate case.

Some high elevation areas of BC had snow yesterday. It is supposed to be an El Nino winter. I don't know if that means more or less snow. It usually means milder temperatures.

From coast to coast, multitudes of Canadian parents, students, and other critics of LGBT indoctrination took to the streets this week as part of the One Million March for Children.
Pre-emptively demonized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; the leader of his allied socialist party, Jagmeet Singh; and other leftist politicians, the protesters emphasized Wednesday that educators have no business secretly grooming children and pushing radical gender ideology in the classroom.
The group that organized the protests noted on its website that it comprises people of diverse backgrounds and faiths who have come together to advocate for "the elimination of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) curriculum, pronouns, gender ideology and mixed bathrooms in schools."
In Canadian cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver, thousands of protesters carried signs that read, "Leave our kids alone," "Hands off our kids," "Parental choice matters," and "You don't own our kids."
Trudeau, tweeted, "Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued."
NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh joined counter-protesters in Ottawa, carrying a rainbow banner that said, "Pride not prejudice."
Jason Schilling, president of the Alberta Teachers' Association, told the Herald, "Using 'parental consent' as camouflage, this rally was part of a coordinated strike across North America to promote misinformation, intolerance, and hate toward the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, as well as toward teachers who work to protect the safety and well-being of all students."
Rachel Notley, Alberta's former premier whom voters overwhelmingly rejected in 2019, claimed, "Those who seek to normalize trans hate will then move on to racism and misogyny. We can't let that happen."

The leader of the Alberta socialist party accuses parents who are interested in their kids' education of trans hate. Next they will be racists and misogynists according to Rachel Notley. This is a classic example of liberal bigotry. Minority parents are just as interested in what is taught in classrooms as any parents are.

A man is now facing assault and murder charges after he reportedly fired a gun into a fast food restaurant in Las Vegas at the drive-thru window on September 7. He was apparently terminated from his job there just hours before.
KLAS-TV reported that David Bravo, 25, became enraged after his shift leader at a Popeyes restaurant said that one of his shifts had been changed. When Bravo threatened to walk out, he was told that he would be fired if he did so. The restaurant's location was at Sunset Boulevard and Decatur Boulevard.

A recent poll from RealClear Opinion Research found that one-third of registered Democratic respondents feel Americans have "too much freedom to speak freely."
The poll, released in September, surveyed 1,000 individuals. Of those interviewed, 377 identified as Democrats, 369 as Republicans, and 255 as independent or "other."
The poll found that 34% of Democratic respondents believe Americans have "too much freedom to speak freely," while 14.6% of Republicans agreed. Only 22% of Democrats stated that Americans have too little freedom compared to 46% of Republicans. Independent voters were split down the middle for both questions.

Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 600,000 vehicles due to "fire risk," and are urging drivers to keep their cars parked outside and away from buildings until they can be fixed.
The Hyundai cars subject to the safety recall include certain 2010-2015 models of the Accent, Elantra, Santa Fe, Tucson, Veracruz, Genesis and Equus. Approximately 326,942 vehicles in Canada are affected, as well as 1.6 million cars in the U.S.
Transport Canada says the issue with these Hyundai models stems from the anti-lock brake system, which can leak brake fluid and cause a short circuit.
Hyundai Canada told Global News that an electrical short can increase the risk of the engine catching on fire while driving or even when its parked and turned off.

The coming startup of the Trans Mountain pipeline will help boost Canadian oil production to an all-time high within the next two years, according to a new report.
The report by Deloitte Canada said the extra capacity created by the currently ongoing pipeline expansion is expected to boost Canadian production by about 375,000 barrels a day over the next two years.
That represents an eight per cent increase from the previous production high set in November 2022, and a nearly nine per cent increase from the 4.18 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil that Canada produced in June of this year — the most recent month for which statistics are available through the Canadian Centre for Energy Information.
"The increase in volume is notable: it's greater than the total amount added to Canada's production levels over the past five years combined," the report said.
According to the Deloitte report, the vast majority of the expected increase in Canadian oil production in the coming years will come from the oilsands, where companies are working on thermal expansion projects that will link new assets with existing facilities to speed up development at a lower cost.

Social Security benefits will increase by 3.2% in 2024, the Social Security Administration announced Thursday morning.
That adds about $50 monthly to the average retirement benefit consumers will receive beginning in January. The annual increases are called cost of living adjustments, or COLA.

Two types of animal antibiotics and an animal contraceptive have been detected in food samples from America's top 10 most popular fast-food chains, according to a laboratory report.
In September, Moms Across America (MAA) submitted food samples from 10 popular American food chains to the Health Research Institute, an Iowa-based nonprofit laboratory that tests food for nutritional value, biofunctionality, and contaminants and toxins, requesting that the laboratory test the samples for over 100 common veterinary drugs and hormones. MAA is a nonprofit activism group formed by mothers intending to bring awareness to food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides.
Molecular and chief scientist at the Health Research Institute, John Fagan, confirmed that his lab tested the food samples.
8 in 10 Popular Fast Food Chains Tested Positive
Most of the food was sampled from America's top 10 most popular food chains. Volunteers for MAA went to their local McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin', Wendy's, or Domino's stores and ordered the same meal several times.

Look at what one of the Dems' biggest donors has been up to.
Sam Bankman-Fried's ex-girlfriend and business colleague, Caroline Ellison, stated in court that the former FTX boss had directed her to commit fraud-related crimes, as well as used loans to make political donations. She also alleged customer deposits were used to bribe Chinese officials.
Political donations predominantly included $5.2 million to President Biden's campaign in 2020, which immediately shot Bankman-Fried to near the top of the donor list. According to Time, more than $70 million was donated to Democratic election campaigns, along with another $40 million to politicians and committees ahead of the 2022 midterms.

An Internal Revenue Service contractor accused of stealing and leaking tax return information belonging to former President Donald Trump and "thousands" of the wealthiest Americans pleaded guilty on Thursday, according to a Department of Justice press release.
Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., was working at the IRS when he stole tax information associated with "a high-ranking government official," the DOJ stated. While the department's news release did not name the government official, several media outlets have reported that Littlejohn was responsible for leaking Trump's tax records.

In 2023, almost 67 million Americans will receive a monthly Social Security benefit, totaling about $1.4 trillion in benefits paid during the year, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Nearly 90% of Americans aged 65 or older were receiving a Social Security benefit as of June 30, according to SSA data, with the federal payments representing about 30% of their income.
The number of Americans in that age bracket is projected to grow from about 58 million in 2022 to about 75 million by 2035.

Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer slashed its profit and revenue estimates for a full year as it said that demand for COVID-19 vaccines and other products has dropped.
The firm now expects 2023 sales of $58 billion to $61 billion, down from previous forecasts of $67 billion to $70 billion, according to its guidance report that was released on Friday, Oct. 13. The revenue outlook was slashed, it said, "solely due to its COVID products" such as its vaccine and antiviral drug.
It anticipates that sales of its COVID-19 vaccine will be about $2 billion lower than its previously expected forecast due to lower-than-expected rates of people taking the mRNA shot. The firm's latest COVID-19 booster was made available by U.S. federal regulators last month, but the rollout has been relatively slow—with only about 2 percent of Americans taking any of the vaccines, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) data.

Steven Davidoff Solomon is a corporate law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. While he has no doubt seen his school enroll and anoint generations of radical leftists over the past decade, he's now ready to warn law firms about at least one variety of extremism they can expect from Berkeley graduates.
In a Sunday opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, Solomon pleaded with prospective employers: "Don't hire some of my students."
Solomon, co-founder of the Antisemitism Education Initiative and an adviser to the Jewish law students' association, noted that anti-Semitism is "nothing new on university campuses, including here on Berkeley."
He cited as one recent example a bylaw adopted last year by several student groups and several more since — including the Queer Caucus, the Berkeley Law Muslim Student Association, the Womxn of Color Collective, and the Women of Berkeley Law — that bars supporters of Israel from speaking, effectively creating "'Jew-free' zones."

There have been thousands of information technology employees working as contractors in the U.S. who have reportedly been sending millions of dollars from their earnings to North Korea for the country's ballistic missile program, according to the FBI and Department of Justice.
The Justice Department stated on Wednesday that there have been a number of IT workers secretly working for North Korea who work remotely with U.S. companies in St. Louis and elsewhere. These employees have apparently been using fake identifications in order to get the jobs in question.
Business Insider reported that the authorities have seized more than $1.5 million and 17 domain names as part of the ongoing investigation. Jay Greenberg, a special agent who is the head of the St. Louis FBI office, said that one company hired freelance IT employees who were likely involved in the scheme.
Rebecca Wu, spokesperson for the FBI, said that "[w]e can tell you that there are thousands of North Korean IT workers that are part of this." FBI officials say that the scheme is widespread, suggesting that companies need to be vigilant about who they hire.

A prominent Detroit synagogue president was found stabbed to death outside of her home on Saturday morning. Michigan authorities are urgently attempting to piece together the facts of the apparent murder, and determine the motive for the tragic killing.
Police found multiple stab wounds on a lifeless body that led to a trail of blood leading to the victim's home – where police believe the crime was committed, Detroit deputies said in an email.
Michigan authorities identified the victim as 40-year-old Samantha Woll. Authorities pronounced Woll dead at the scene at around 6.30 a.m. on Saturday.
Was this murder related to events in Israel and Gaza? I don't know.

A new travel requirement for Americans visiting most European countries was delayed again to sometime in 2025, officials said.
The requirement involves an online travel authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, and it applies to the visitors of 30 European countries. That includes popular destinations such as France, Spain, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Portugal.
Now, the system "will be ready to enter into operation in Spring 2025," said a brief announcement after a meeting of the Council of the European Union earlier this month. "The new roadmap for the delivery of the new IT architecture foresees that the Entry/Exit system will be ready to enter into operation in Autumn 2024," it also said.
The system, meanwhile, will register the information and biometric data of travelers. That includes face scans and fingerprints, while stamp passports will be phased out.
This system, elaborated the European Union's site, "will replace the current system of manual stamping of passports, which is time-consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings, and does not allow a systematic detection of over-stayers."
Travelers will have to fill out an ETIAS application form before traveling and pay a $7 fee. However, some applications may take several weeks if additional information is needed from the traveler, while some may have to obtain an interview, according to the EU website.

The courts are now dealing with a torrent of litigation spurred by the Supreme Court's 5–4 decision in June in Allen v. Milligan. In that case, the conservative-dominated court unexpectedly stood behind its interpretation of the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA), rejecting Alabama's request to leave its legislature-approved electoral map in place.

The CDC indicated that the infant mortality rate was 5.44 in 2021. Last year, the rate was 5.6. The total number of reported infant deaths in 2022 was 20,538, up 610 from the previous year.

A second woman has accused rock star Steven Tyler of sexual assault from decades ago. This is the second alleged victim that has accused Tyler of sexual assault in the 1970s.
Jeanne Bellino – who was previously a child and teen model – alleges that Tyler sexually assaulted her "in approximately 1975 when she was approximately 17 years old." At the time of the accusations, Tyler was 27.
Bellino, now 66, claimed that she was invited to party with Aerosmith at the Warwick Hotel in New York City around 1975. Bellino's lawsuit claims that Tyler "forced" the teen into a phone booth where he kissed and groped the then-teenage model.
"Tyler stuck his tongue down her throat, and put his hands upon her body, her breasts, her buttocks, and her genitals, moving and removing clothing and pinning her against the wall of the phone booth," the lawsuit alleges.
Another woman accused Tyler of sexual assault from decades ago.
In December, Julia Misley accused Tyler of engaging in a sexual relationship with her shortly after her 16th birthday in 1973. At the time, Tyler was 25 years old.
Tyler previously claimed that the underage girl consented to the sexual relationship.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that federal investigators busted a "high-end brothel" network the clientele of which included politicians, military officers, and other influential figures.
At a press conference, federal prosecutors said they have arrested three people for allegedly running the sophisticated network: Han Lee, Junmyung Lee, and James Lee.
Each man is charged with conspiracy to coerce and entice to travel to engage in illegal sexual activity. They allegedly operated the network since July 2020.
Prosecutors allege the men operated four brothel locations — two in Boston suburbs and two in Washington, D.C., suburbs — by renting out "high-end apartment complexes." The men allegedly advertised their prostitution ring using websites in which they included pictures of the women and information about them, including their height, weight, and bust size.
"They are doctors, they are lawyers, they are accountants, they are elected officials, they are executives of high tech companies and pharmaceutical companies, they are military officers, government contractors [with security clearances], professors, scientists," he said.
Prosecutors did not identity any of the brothel clientele because investigation is "active and ongoing."
It is not clear whether the clientele will face criminal charges, but the Homeland Security agent who wrote the affidavit believes there are "potentially hundreds of yet to be identified customers."

An industrial robot brutally slaughtered a South Korean robotics technician Tuesday, allegedly mistaking him for just another container of organic material in need of stacking.
The victim, a man in his 40s, was attempting to diagnose an issue with a pick-and-place robot's sensor at the Donggoseong Export Agricultural Complex in the southern county of Goseong, as there was an equipment test planned for later in the week, reported the Register.
The paprika-sorting robot, reportedly created and installed by the victim's employer, spotted the man with its sensor, figured him for a box of vegetables, then seized him using its arms and tongs. After grabbing the technician, the robot apparently smashed him against a conveyor belt.
According to the Korean-language Yonhap News Agency, the victim's face and chest were crushed. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

In a video posted on social media, McSally recounted that a man approached her from behind, engulfing her "in a bear hug, and he molested and fondled me until I fought him off."
"I ran after him, I threw my water bottle at him, and I chased him into the brush, where he was then hiding as I called 911 and waited for the police to come. I don't think they found him," she said.
A Council Bluffs Police Department press release notes that "McSally lost sight of the suspect prior to officers arriving. After a check of the area the suspect was not located."

ormer porn star Ron Jeremy – who was accused of rape by more than 20 women – will be released to a "private residence" due to his deteriorating health.
Jeremy – whose full name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt — was first charged with 34 counts of sexual assault in 2020, including 12 counts of rape. The allegations stemmed as far back as 1996, and the alleged victims ranged in age from 15 to 51.
In 2021, Jeremy was indicted on 34 criminal counts based on allegations brought by 21 women. Hyatt pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
The defense and prosecution agreed that Hyatt was not competent to stand trial because of cognitive impairments caused by severe dementia.
Jeremy, 70, was placed under a conservator earlier this year and had been housed at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles.
On Friday, a judge granted a request for Hyatt to be released to a private residence where he will receive "round-the-clock medical care."

Truth Social, the social media platform connected to former President Donald Trump, announced a massive, billion-dollar lawsuit against 20 news media companies.
The company posted a statement about its lawsuit Monday evening.
"Today Truth Social filed a defamation lawsuit that is likely unprecedented in history, incorporating twenty publications - and even more may be added. All of them published the same false information about Truth Social and refused to fully retract their stories," the statement read.
"To the Fake News outlets that think themselves about accountability: we'll see you in court," it added.

Canadians are deeply in debt. The country has the highest household debt as a share of GDP in the G7 — and 75% of it is from mortgages.
We have an imbalance — we have household debt-to-income ratios that are above what the US was before the global financial crisis.
As affordability crisis continues and immigration rates remain high, Canadians will blame high prices on immigration and seek to limit migration. Recent polling has found that a growing share of Canadians feel this way, threatening the government's liberal stance on immigration policy.

A military whistleblower says the US government has retrieved at least ten alien bodies from UFO crashes. David Charles Grusch said the number of crashes recorded was in 'double digits', and that the number of extraterrestrial bodies recovered was 'up there as well, just like with the retrievals'.
Former US intelligence officer Mr Grusch stunned the world earlier this year when alleging the government had evidence of 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles.
The revelations led, in part, to a special congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP, formerly UFOs), at which Mr Grusch and two other witnesses testified. Under oath he repeated his claims, adding that people had been 'harmed' in an attempt to cover up the information.

A new court filing shows that the office of the judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York has received "hundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemitic" threats.
The threats were made to the office of Judge Arthur Engoron, according to an affidavit that was attached to a Nov. 22 court filing, which states that there's been a "deluge" of threatening messages to the court's chambers phone and the personal cell phone as well as email and social media accounts of Judge Engoron's chief law clerk, Allison Greenfield.

On Monday, after Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was newly sworn into office, the conservative leader confirmed his government would repeal the strict tobacco restrictions before they came into effect.
The legislation would have banned the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2008.

Canada's economy shrank in the three months up to September. Statistics Canada reported Thursday that the country's gross domestic product shrank by 0.3 per cent.
They also reported that the three month period up to June also saw a slight decline, so Thursday's numbers would have been the second consecutive quarterly contraction in a row which means we are officially in a recession.

What this means is a broad range of drinks, from lemonades and coffees to energy-boosting beverages like Sour Cherry Energy Slush, Tropical Spiceade and S'mores Cold Brew. Patrons can customize their drinks by adding fruity boba, flavor syrups, energy shots and more.
As far as food goes, CosMc's Spicy Queso Sandwich and Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich are its sandwich options, but there are many more sweet and savory snacks to pick and choose from.
On the savory side, CosMc's offers Savory Hash Brown Bites and Pretzel Bites, and on the sweet side, it's got a Blueberry Lemon Cookie Sundae, Caramel Fudge Brownie and more.
And yes, you can expect to find a few McDonald's classics on the menu — but no combo meals.

"There have been reports of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in people traveling to the United States from Tecate, in the state of Baja California, Mexico," the CDC said in the advisory, which was issued on Dec. 8.
The CDC said there are reports of the disease being found in urban areas in some states in northern Mexico (including Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo León). However, the illness isn't exclusive to those regions, the CDC noted in its warning.

The United Methodist Church is currently in the process of splintering, as 7,000 congregations across the country have decided whether or not to stay or depart from the denomination.
The intra-church dispute comes as many congregations have decided to back out of the denomination after years of theological debate about the role of LGBTQ people within the church, according to the Associated Press.
While the United Methodist Church has banned same-sex marriage and outlawed openly LGBTQ clergy, many congregations within the denomination have theologically taken issue with this position. Amid the battle within the denomination, a number of conservatives have decided to create the Global Methodist Church.
Theologically progressive Christians who decided to stay with the United Methodist Church are expected to try and remove the ban at the next General Conference, which is scheduled for the spring of 2024.

The former mayor of Harvey, Illinois, Eric Kellogg, was not named in federal documents, and he has apparently not been charged, according to NBC News.
However, his brother Rommell, 71, was found guilty on five counts on Monday, including "conspiracy to commit theft and intimidation and causing the use of facilities in interstate commerce to promote theft and intimidation," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"Each count of conviction is punishable by up to five years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman did not immediately set a sentencing date," the release continued.

This is probably misleading and a one off thing as Biden's handlers are anti domestic fossils production.
The United States is set to produce a global record of 13.3 million barrels per day of crude and condensate during the fourth quarter of this year, according to a report published Tuesday by S&P Global Commodity Insights.
Last month, weekly US oil production hit 13.2 million barrels per day, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's just above the Donald Trump-era record of 13.1 million set in early 2020 just before the Covid-19 crisis sent output and prices crashing.

Kevin O'Leary told CNN host Laura Coates on Thursday that "every" real estate developer is guilty of the alleged real-estate fraud that Donald Trump is found to have committed.
O'Leary explained:
So, if you're a developer and you've got a building on a block anywhere in America and it's worth, let's say, $500 million and you want to build a building right beside it, you go to the bank and say, "This building is worth $500 million. I'd like to borrow a construction finance loan against this asset, and I want you to tell me it's worth 500 million, too." The bank negotiates with you and says, "Well, no, we think it's worth $400 million," and you fight it out.
You're always trying to show your assets in the brightest light with the sunshine you can possibly determine for them. You want them to be worth the very most because you're only going to get a 40% or 50% loan-to-value, as it's called. Then you borrow that money. In the case of a $500 million asset, maybe you get $250 million, and you build a new building with a construction finance loan.
"Forget about Trump: Every single real estate developer everywhere on Earth does this," O'Leary said.
The concern, then, should be who lost money? "Nobody," according to O'Leary, because the Trump Organization paid its bank loans. Thus, if James were to be consistent, she would sue "every real estate developer" in her jurisdiction, he said.
O'Leary said he believes the case will not survive an appeal.

Cement production accounts for more than 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions—more than sectors like aviation, shipping, or landfills. Cement is one of the most-used materials on the planet, with about 4 billion metric tons produced annually.
Industrial-scale cement is a multifaceted climate conundrum. Making it is energy intensive: the inside of a traditional cement kiln is hotter than lava in an erupting volcano. Reaching those temperatures typically requires burning fossil fuels like coal. There's also a specific set of chemical reactions needed to turn crushed-up minerals into cement—and those reactions release carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

A man who worked as a teacher in Hawaii was sentenced to 17 years in prison for producing child pornography after he mocked and railed against conservatives online.
35-year-old Alden Bunag was convicted of distributing videos of himself having sex with a former student who was 13 years old at the time. In addition to the prison time, Bunag must pay $30,000 in restitution and serve 15 years of supervised release.

On the heels of accusations of plagiarism against former Harvard President Claudine Gay, four senior research scientists with faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School have been accused of manipulating data in some of their published research, prompting retractions of several articles and corrections in dozens more.
On January 2, the same day that Gay resigned as president of Harvard amid accusations that she had committed 50 separate instances of plagiarism, Sholto David, a British scientist with a doctorate in cellular and molecular biology from Newcastle University, published a detailed blog post accusing the Harvard-affiliated researchers of "data forgery."

A new poll has revealed that over half of Democrats support lethal discrimination against babies diagnosed with Down syndrome.
56% of Democrats said they supported or strongly supported abortion in cases where the baby has Down syndrome. By way of comparison, only 24% of Republicans signaled support and 39% of self-identified independents expressed support.

The best things in life are free – but not anymore.
Mount Fuji in Japan has become the latest major attraction to charge tourists to visit.
The impressive mountain – which is an active volcano and the highest peak in Japan – attracts thousands of climbers every year. In 2023, 221,322 people made the ascent.
But concerns over rubbish at the UNESCO heritage site and hiker safety has seen Japanese authorities impose the new tax – the price of which is yet to be announced.

Radical climate change activists hurled soup at the Mona Lisa painting inside the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday.
Video shows the moment that two women approach the Mona Lisa painting and then douse Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece with soup.
The women reportedly shouted, "What's the most important thing? Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?"
What these petulant fools don't know is that climate change hysteria is making the production of food less sustainable. If we are going to feed eight billion people we need fertilizers. Climate extremists are blocking the sustainable development of food.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that 135 people were sickened with an "unknown" illness while on board a cruise ship operated by Cunard Line.
In an update issued on Jan. 31, the agency said that the predominant symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, but it said the "causative agents" are "unknown."
Out of about 2,700 passengers and crew, 135 were sickened on Cunard Line's Queen Victoria between Jan. 22 and Feb. 12. However, the cases that have been currently reported "do not represent the number of active (symptomatic) gastrointestinal cases at any given port of call or at disembarkation," the agency said.

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has transformed his country from a blood-soaked gangland into a nation with the second-lowest homicide rate in the Americas — all inside a five-year window.
There were 51 homicides per 100,000 in 2018, the year prior to Bukele's initial election. The homicide rate fell to 7.8 in 2022 under his leadership, such that El Salvador saw fewer homicides that year (495) than were reported in Chicago during the same period (695). The homicide rate in El Salvador last year was reportedly 2.4 per 100,000.
To achieve this end, Bukele's administration has taken extreme measures, admittedly overstepping and cracking down on some civil rights. His administration has also allegedly thrown over 2% of the adult population behind bars, most of whom are supposedly suspected or known gang members.

Co-defendant David Schafer, who in 2020 served as the Georgia GOP Chairman and a GOP presidential elector for Georgia during the 2020 election, filed a motion in court Monday saying Willis has engaged in a "pattern of prosecutorial, forensic misconduct" which he says should disqualify not only her, but her entire office and prosecution staff.

Canadian couples are more open to seeking divorce in later life, and research suggests this can impact women more than men.
In Canada, the average age for divorce has been steadily rising over the years, partly because people are increasingly getting married at a later age. In 2020, the average age of divorce was 48 years, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada.
Over the last three decades, the country has seen a rise in "grey divorce" when couples aged 50 years and older split up, according to StatCan.

Former NFL star, actor, and accused murderer O.J. Simpson is reportedly battling prostate cancer.
Simpson, 76, is now undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Las Vegas, according to WPLG-TV in Miami.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer has been seen in Vegas in recent weeks looking frail and limping, the New York Post reported.
He also posted a video to social media last week knocking rumors that he was being placed in hospice and is on the verge of death.
"No, I'm not in any hospice; I don't know who put that out there. Whoever put that out there, it's like Donald [Trump] says: can't trust the media. In any event, I'm hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well. Take care, have a good Super Bowl Weekend," Simpson said.

The resulting power vacuum and subsequent investigation of the killing would drive Venezuela even deeper into political instability.
The CIA being involved would make OPEC very, very mad.

The fact of the matter is though, the US is in a bad relationship where the world hates us for sticking our nose in their shit while the world is asking us to stick our nose in their shit. At the same time, we're sure as fuck addicted to sticking our nose in the shit.It's time the US told the world our own affairs takes priority. We can no longer let companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin bribe us into being the world's cop.
Its fucked up with no clear off ramp for the assholes in power.

George Soros is set to seize control of Audacy's 220 United States radio stations ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the New York Post reported.
Soros Fund Management, the hedge fund manager's investment management company, has purchased $400 million of the radio platform's debt.
Audacy, formerly Radio.com, is the second-largest radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia. Last month, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced that it had reached a prepackaged restructuring support agreement with a supermajority of its debtholders. According to an Audacy news release, the plan will allow it to reduce its total debt from $1.9 billion to $350 million.

The civil lawsuit was filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James and claimed that Trump defrauded banks and other organizations by over-estimating the value of his properties in order to secure favorable bank loans and other benefits.

A policy group predicted that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for next year's Social Security payments may be far lower than the past several years—due to inflation.
When inflation goes up, the Social Security Administration uses it to determine the COLA for the forthcoming year. Some economists have predicted the main inflation metric, the consumer price index for urban wage earners, may go down this year due to the recent interest rate hikes issued by the Federal Reserve.
According to the policy group, the Senior Citizens League, based on the 2.9 percent January consumer price index for urban wage earners, the group is "adjusting the long-term forecast COLA to 1.75 percent in 2025." The overall consumer price index rose 3.1 percent last month, according to federal data.

The case could lead to the dropping of charges against many defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, protest of the impending congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election results at the U.S. Capitol complex in Washington.
Former police officer Joseph W. Fischer of Jonestown, Pennsylvania, is the main defendant in the case known as Fischer v. United States. The oral argument was scheduled in a notice posted by the court on its website.

BlackRock has unveiled what it calls "a new proxy voting opportunity in iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)." The multinational investment giant notes that this particular product is its largest and among the most widely held exchange-traded fund.
While giving individual investors a say in the votes related to their holdings is a good thing, this new scheme on closer inspection appears to be a way for BlackRock to push climate and social-related policies while making it seem like clients voted for them. Very sneaky.

The Associated Press exposed the unprecedented nature of the case and how New York's treatment of Trump is incongruent with past cases.
QuoteThey went back over 70 years and looked at all the cases that have been tried under this rule — [New York Civil Practice Law] 6312, which is used here — which doesn't have to show harm done. That's not the burden. You don't have to show that anybody was hurt by your practices. There's nobody you defrauded specifically.
They went back and they looked at cases over 70 years — I believe it's about 150 cases — and found there was no case where there was a ban on doing business where there wasn't harm shown. So even though the threshold is "harm shown," in the past, it has only been used to ban someone doing business when it's been shown that somebody was hurt — say you're selling cosmetics that are poisoning you. There's somebody that was hurt there; the cosmetics company gets banned.

Tucker Carlson said that an advisor to former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told him he would need to pay $1 million when the host asked for an interview.
"This is, by the way, the guy who single-handedly, at the request of the U.S. government, stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago, and is, I think, for that reason, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands people. He won't explain any of that to me in an interview until I pay him a million dollars," Carlson said.
Boris Johnson is a slime bucket.

Dr. Phil McGraw, host of the long-running daytime talk show "Dr. Phil," criticized medical associations that promote the use of surgical and non-surgical procedures, such as cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, mastectomies, and genital surgeries, on minors who are questioning the biological reality of their gender.
Mr. McGraw made the comments during a recent appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," aired Feb. 20. The television personality—who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Texas—specifically questioned the use of umbrella terms like "gender-affirming care."
"You know, that's interesting that they call it that, but really what they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children," he told host Joe Rogan. "And, in fairness, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Endocrine Society—or whatever the exact name of that is—all of the major medical associations have signed off on this."
According to the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT advocacy organization, "every single major medical organization, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association, supports the provision of age-appropriate, gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary people."
Mr. McGraw continued: "I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less information as to whether or not it does long-term harm," noting that "it does harm" children. The talk show veteran referenced European countries that have begun restricting some of these procedures.
In particular, Mr. McGraw highlighted Sweden, which was the first country to introduce legal gender reassignment surgeries. However, the country has since backtracked on its stance by restricting hormone therapy and mastectomies for minors.

Getting the recombinant zoster (shingles) vaccine (RZV), or Shingrix, if you have had an ocular shingles event, may increase your risk of experiencing a second event, a recent study shows.
Ocular shingles refers to all shingles that manifest in the eye area. Milder cases of ocular shingles typically occur near the eyelids, while more severe cases may cause inflammation inside the eyes and potentially lead to blindness.
Researchers at the University of California (UC)–San Francisco found that, compared to unvaccinated people with a history of ocular shingles, those who receive the RZV have a 93 percent higher rate of developing ocular shingles again.

Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world. It is also facing a critical water shortage.
Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world's biggest cities, is facing a severe water crisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban development and leaky infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of climate change.
Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.
"Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start," said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards "day zero" in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.

Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said the FBI wants him to self-surrender to the agency Friday morning in Dallas over his January 6 reporting.
https://twitter.com/TPC4USA/status/1762652438727627133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1762652438727627133%7Ctwgr%5Eb013399c3bf53069fac4cf84d3683167b1e9352d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fnews%2Fblaze-news-investigative-writer-steve-baker-says-fbi-wants-him-to-self-surrender-friday-in-dallas-over-his-jan-6-reporting
What are the details?
Baker told Blaze News he's been instructed to turn himself in at the agency's field office at 7 a.m. wearing "shorts and sandals" — which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for "humiliation" and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the "prisoner transport routine."
He added that after he's taken to the Dallas courthouse, he'll appear at a 10 a.m. hearing before a federal magistrate.
"They didn't have to go this route," Baker told Blaze News on Tuesday evening. "We have been told that my charges are only misdemeanors. And my attorneys have been assured that this will be an 'in and out' affair with 'no intention' to detain me. But rather than issuing a simple order to appear, they went the 'arrest warrant' route."
What's more, Baker said he still does not know what the charges against him are, noting to Blaze News that the powers that be won't tell his attorney about the charges because they believe Baker will post them on social media.
Baker's Dallas attorney, James Lee Bright, added to Blaze News that withholding the nature of the charges against his client is a "really unusual" move. Bright also said he's hoping to get a copy of the complaint against Baker as early as possible Friday morning.
Baker also said his legal team was told there was no request to the court for detention, no need for bail, and the expectation is that he'll be released after the proceedings. Bright told Blaze News that he anticipates Friday's hearing to be simple.
"We do not know if there will be pretrial travel restrictions, although that has been the norm for J6 defendants — even for misdemeanor defendants," Baker also said. "It has also been universal that no J6ers are allowed to travel to Washington, D.C., which for obvious reasons will have a deleterious impact on my work. We also do not know if there will be any other accompanying restrictions or orders: gag order from talking about my case, no social media, limited social media, order to surrender devices and/or firearms. All unknowns."

An illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the Feb. 8 slaying of a 2-year-old Maryland boy, Jeremy Poou-Caceres, and the grievous wounding of the boy's mother.
Prior to allegedly killing the child, Salvadoran national Nilson Granados-Trejo was twice arrested and twice freed in a nearby sanctuary county despite an outstanding removal order and detainer requests from immigration officials.
Jeremy Poou-Caceres was taken to a hospital, where he died shortly thereafter. His 17-year-old mother, apparently struck in the leg, survived the attack and was released from the hospital days later.
Police indicated that the mother and child were not the intended targets. A witness reportedly saw two of the suspected shooters take shots at another group of thugs during a dispute over drug territory, striking Jeremy and his mother.
The boy's mother, whose identity has been concealed in some reports because she is a teen victim and a witness, claimed she was pushing her son in a stroller down Kanawha street when two groups of thugs began shooting.
"I grabbed my son and tried to save my son. That was all I could think about," said the bereaved mother.

TMercedes-Benz is backing off its plan to only sell electric vehicles after 2030, the company said Thursday. It was the latest evidence that the global auto industry is feeling more dour about the all-electric future after a slowdown in sales growth.
It was only three years ago that Mercedes was feeling quite bullish about plug-in powertrains, saying that by 2030 it would only sell EVs. At the time, the company said it would completely phase out gas-powered vehicles, while including the caveat "where markets allowed."
Now it seems that the market is not allowing Mercedes to follow through on its plans. Today, the company said in its fourth quarter earnings statement that it only expects 50 percent of its sales to be all-electric — a significant drop from the once rosier outlook. Gas and hybrid vehicles will remain a part of the company's future for years to come.

A deadly outbreak of psittacosis, also known as parrot fever, is spreading across Europe, prompting a warning from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO announced on Tuesday that parrot fever cases have been on the rise in several European countries since November 2023, resulting in five reported deaths to date.
Parrot fever is a respiratory infection caused by the bacteria Chlamydia psittaci, commonly found in birds, according to Health Canada.
"It's a distant relative to the chlamydia, the sexually-transmitted infection, but this is not a sexually-transmitted infection," Bogoch said. "But from a genetic relative standpoint, it's a cousin."

Pornhub blocks access in Texas over age-restriction law
(https://i.imgur.com/9aL2YjX.png)
Fighting back against an age-verification requirement in Texas, Pornhub on Thursday blocked access to its content in the state.
Anyone with an IP address in Texas now is blocked from the site, which is one of the most popular porn websites viewed in the United States.
"Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous," the statement read, Pornhub told NBC News. "Not only will it not actually protect children, but it will also inevitably reduce content creators' ability to post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to share the artistic messages they want to convey with it."
The company encouraged users to contact their representatives about the state's law.

The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for monthly payments could be 2.4 percent starting next year, an increase from a previous forecast, said the Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan group representing retired people, according to several reports this week.

Stockton is joined in the lawsuit by doctors who faced sanctions from the state and names Washington Medical Commission Executive Director Kyle S. Karinen and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson as defendants. Stockton's lawyers include Rick Jaffe, Todd S. Richardson, and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kyle Rittenhouse has survived yet another mobbing by rabid progtards, this time in America's most dangerous city: Democrat-run Memphis.
The 21-year-old Second Amendment advocate spoke Wednesday at an event hosted by the University of Memphis student chapter of Turning Point USA. An event listing indicated that Rittenhouse was planing to "share his side of the story that caught the media's eye in 2020."
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside, screaming at guests and hindering the flow of traffic in and out of the UC Theatre.

Shareholders voted Friday to take former president Donald Trump's media company public, a long-delayed move that will open the owner of Truth Social to stock-market investors and grant Trump a stake worth billions of dollars.
Trump will own about 60 percent of the company, which at Digital World's current share price would be worth about $3.3 billion. He and other investors could earn tens of millions more shares through an "earnout" provision tied to the stock's performance, Digital World said in an SEC filing.
But a lockup provision in the merger agreement will prevent Trump and other major shareholders from selling their shares for six months unless he is granted a waiver by the post-merger company's board.
Any lockup change or waiver will be decided by the post-merger company's board, which will be stocked with Trump allies, an SEC filing shows. The board's nominees include Trump's oldest son Donald Trump Jr.; Trump's former trade representative Robert E. Lighthizer; Linda McMahon, who headed the Small Business Administration under Trump; and Kash Patel, who served on Trump's National Security Council.
The post-merger company, which will be called Trump Media, could begin trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange as soon as Monday under the ticker symbol of Trump's initials, DJT. That symbol was also used for Trump's only other public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, which collapsed into a penny stock in less than a decade and filed for bankruptcy in 2004.
The merger will net Trump Media $300 million that Digital World initially raised from investors. Trump's allies and company executives will also be granted bundles of shares in the new company that could be worth millions of dollars.

The Supreme Court's refusal this week to take up McDonald's appeal of a lower court ruling means the fast food giant will have to face a class action that alleges the company violated antitrust laws.
The burger chain was sued in 2017 over no-poaching agreements between franchise owners that allegedly violated workers' rights by limiting their job mobility. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit resurrected the proposed class action lawsuit after a lower court dismissed it.

brutal mountain lion attack took the life of a 21-year-old California man, and left his younger with "traumatic injuries," according to authorities.
Two brothers – ages 18 and 21 – were reportedly antler shed hunting in Georgetown, California. A mountain lion attacked the pair in the wilderness of the remote area of Northern California on Saturday afternoon.
During the vicious mountain lion attack, the brothers were separated in the area about 40 miles northeast of Sacramento.
The younger brother called 911 at 1:13 p.m. to report the animal attack, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
Around 1:46 p.m., deputies began searching the area for the brothers.
Deputies and paramedics located the older brother and encountered the mountain lion that was crouched next to the 21-year-old California man on the ground, according to authorities. Law enforcement officers reportedly fired shots "scaring the mountain lion off so they could render aid" to the man on the ground.
Sadly, the older brother had succumbed to his injuries from the mountain lion attack and was already dead by the time emergency crews were able to get to the man.
The 18-year-old brother suffered "traumatic injuries" to his face and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office stated.

Early Tuesday morning, a Singapore-flagged container ship called the Dali rammed into one of the piers holding up Francis Scott Key Bridge, a steel arch-shaped truss bridge extending Interstate 695 some 1,200 feet over the Baltimore Harbor. Upon impact, the bridge came toppling down — along with those vehicles on the compromised segments.
Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman indicated the bridge has "totally collapsed" and that rescue teams are on site.
So far, there have been no reports of casualties.

Georgia man has been desperately fighting for years to remove dozens of squatters off his property in Atlanta. The property owner has faced major hurdles in trying to reclaim his land from the squatters, including spending thousands to clean up the estate and being sued for $190,000.
David Morris owns a nine-acre property in southeast Atlanta. He said that about 10 years ago, he started allowing four individuals to live on the property rent-free.
However, uninvited trespassers began living on his land at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morris looked to the city of Atlanta for assistance in removing the squatters from his property. Unfortunately for the property owner, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention imposed a halt to residential evictions starting in September 2020. The pandemic-mandated eviction moratorium in Georgia didn't end until October 2021.
At one point, as many as 30 trespassers were living on his property. He noted that there are now eight squatters on his land.
One of the squatters filed a $190,000 counter-claim against him. However, the case was dismissed because they did not show up in court.
About a year ago, Morris said the "entire medical staff" of the Stop Cop City activist movement was camped on his property.

A Delaware man serving a three-year sentence for marching through the halls of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, has won early release thanks to a Supreme Court decision to review the Biden administration's novel use of an evidence-tampering law to prosecute hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants for felony obstruction of Congress.
Kevin Seefried, who was one of the first people to enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was convicted in June 2022 following a bench trial before Judge Trevor McFadden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on four misdemeanors and a single felony obstruction charge.
Judge McFadden sentenced him on Feb. 9, 2023, to 36 months in prison and one year of supervised release.
Mr. Seefried, who's been incarcerated since May 31, 2023, appealed his conviction and sentence several times.
Following a complex legal journey tied to the fate of a separate Jan. 6 case that is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge McFadden issued an order on March 26, granting Mr. Seefried's motion for release pending resolution of an appeal—but not immediately.
"The Bureau of Prisons is ordered to release Seefried one year after the day on which he surrendered to custody," the judge wrote in the memorandum and order, meaning that Mr. Seefried will remain behind bars until May 31.

A former neo-Nazi who inspired Edward Norton's character in "American History X" has recently revealed that he is of Jewish descent. After finding out the truth about his ancestry, Frank Meeink, 48, decided to turn his life around, according to the New York Post.
Meeink — who found out he was Jewish through a DNA test — was previously the figurehead of a violent far-right group in the early 1990s, even going so far as to torture those he perceived as enemies to ignite the flames of a race war.
The former neo-Nazi was a devout anti-Semite and sported a swastika tattoo on his neck. He claimed that the "Zionist occupation government" run by the Jews was the "root of all evil."

There has been a recent series of unprovoked, broad-daylight attacks on women in New York City. The savage assaults have prompted outrage, even among some Democrats.
One Democratic New York City councilwoman in particular asked why men were not altogether stepping up to address the issue. Critics swiftly provided Councilwoman Amanda Farías with one possible reason why: She and other leftists have cried foul when men have previously stepped into the breach.
With women and men alike ostensibly in danger, former Marine Daniel Penny, then 24, did not simply call out the danger. He did something about it.
Leftists such as Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) rushed to condemn Penny and paint the perp Jordan Neely as a victim.

esearchers at Harvard have reportedly developed a metafluid that they have referred to as "intelligent liquid," according to the Debrief. The liquid contains "tunable springiness, adjustable optical properties, variable viscosity, and even the seemingly magical ability to shift between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid."
Adel Djellouli — a Research Associate in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — said: "We are just scratching the surface of what is possible with this new class of fluid."
"With this one platform, you could do so many different things in so many different fields."

Quote from: DKG on April 07, 2024, 02:01:19 PMResearchers at Harvard have reportedly developed a metafluid that they have referred to as "intelligent liquid," according to the Debrief. The liquid contains "tunable springiness, adjustable optical properties, variable viscosity, and even the seemingly magical ability to shift between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid."
Adel Djellouli — a Research Associate in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — said: "We are just scratching the surface of what is possible with this new class of fluid."
"With this one platform, you could do so many different things in so many different fields."
Rover supposedly operated by fluidics but I never believed that as liquid density would need to be near zero. However, if you could convert that intelligent liquid into intelligent vapor -

A massive container ship attempting to leave the waters around New York City Friday reportedly suffered a similar issue to that experienced by the vessel that tragically brought the historic Francis Scott Key Bridge crashing into Baltimore Harbor late last month.
Unlike the Singapore-flagged Dali, the propulsion problem suffered by the APL Qingdao did not ultimately prove to be calamitous.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to the New York Post that the APL Qingdao, a 1,145-foot, 89,000-ton ship flying under the Malta flag, lost propulsion around 8:30 p.m. while sailing along the shipping lane between Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey.

lon Musk is challenging Justice Alexander de Moraes, a Brazilian judge, who has reportedly applied massive fines, threatened to arrest X employees, and threatened to cut off access to the app in Brazil.
"We will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit," Musk posted on X.
The judge has allegedly already jailed people without trial for posting threats on social media and has unilaterally blocked dozens of accounts and thousands of posts on social media.
"Over the weekend, he said if you don't give me your data, Facebook, Google, and X, on all of the people that are posting — if you don't give that to me, you're banned from being in Brazil."
"If you remember, the Left was saying Bolsonaro was a dictator. And so now, to prevent the dictator, they have become dictators — the exact scenario that we're worried about here in America, but nobody really seems to care," Glenn says.
"In their hunt for dictators, they have become a dictatorship. That's really important for everyone in America to understand," he continues, adding, "what's happening in Brazil is what's coming here. If we don't get out and vote, this is our future in America."

Americans are increasingly suffering cancer at younger ages.
The journal Nature noted last month that the number of early-onset cancer cases will increase by roughly 30% between 2019 and 2030. Additionally, colorectal cancer, which historically has affected geriatric men, is now the leading cause of cancer death among men under 50 and is now the second-leading cause of cancer death among young women. Uterine cancer has increase by 2% every year for the past three decades. Early-onset breast cancer has reportedly jumped by nearly 4% annually between 2016 and 2019.
Various possible factors have been considered, including rising rates of obesity; dietary changes and corresponding alterations to gut bacteria; sleep deprivation; increased alcohol consumption; and vaccines.

I actually like taking public transit in Singpaore. It is on time, super clean, safe, and relaxing. In Canadian cities, stations are full of aggressive homeless beggars, drug addicts, the smell of piss, and litter everywhere. The buses and rapid transit systems in Canada are in reality travelling homeless shelters. Junkies and bums don't pay to ride, harass everybody. Besides that, there is the stench and garbage all over the place.

Oil is more likely to fall to $75 than to rise to $100.
Geopolitical concerns are now fully baked into oil prices. Bearly all the increase in oil prices (to around $91 a barrel from the mid-70s in February)is attributable to geopolitical concerns rather than supply risks.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't understand how those concerns are "baked in" when Israel has yet to both invade Rafah and attack Iran again, actions that are sure to raise tensions and/or provoke further strikes against Israel by pro-Palestinian forces in the region further destabilizing conditions in the middle east?
If those estimations are presuming there won't be a broader conflict in the region any time soon they may be... optimistic. If the estimations are ignoring such factors the estimations are highly suspect anyway.

Bottom line is that demand is not expected to outstrip supply in the near term. The state of the global economy will be the main driver of prices, not geopolitical instability.

While apparently willing to admit the attack was what it appeared to be on video, the Australian government has attempted to erase the video evidence from social media.

A Louisiana man who admitted to raping a girl when she was a young teenager has opted to undergo surgical castration as part of his sentence.
The case began in July 2022, when a young woman went to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office to make a disturbing report about Glenn Sullivan Sr. of Springfield, Louisiana, about 40 miles east of Baton Rouge. According to the young woman, Sullivan "had raped her multiple times when she was just 14-years-old," said a Facebook post from the office of District Attorney Scott M. Perrilloux.
The girl had become pregnant as a result of the attacks. A DNA test of her child later confirmed that Sullivan is the father.
An investigation into the case also revealed that Sullivan, who is now 54 years old, first groomed the girl into the assaults. He then threatened her and her family with violence to keep them quiet about them, the DA's office said.
Last week, Sullivan pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.
Louisiana law takes the rape of a minor very seriously and imposes harsh penalties on those convicted of it. In some cases, convicted rapists in Louisiana can even be ordered to undergo chemical or surgical castration as part of their sentence.
Judge William Dykes must have believed that Sullivan's case warranted castration, as he issued the order for it. However, the method of castration was left up to Sullivan. As part of his plea agreement, Sullivan chose surgery.

Retail workers and people employed in the food services industry will be replaced by AI as the ramps up its takeover of the workforce, an expert has revealed.
The dire warning comes amid fears the technology known as generative AI could be rolled out across Australia by the end of this year, leaving thousands of workers displaced.
Research by workplace technology firm Service Now, found that 1.3million jobs will be automated in Australia over the next four years in a major shakeup to the workforce.
Office Support
Admin jobs will be replaced very easily by AI with workers such as secretaries and those who perform clerical duties, to be affected by the technology.
Other roles that will face the brunt of these machine learning tools also include bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and data entry.
Customer Service and Sales
The retail and sales sector will also be heavily impacted by AI.
Service Now and workforce technology expert Pearson, found that nearly a quarter of retail jobs in Australia will be scrapped due to the technology by 2027.
This amounts to 323,000 full-time workers who will be left jobless, as companies transition to cheaper alternatives.
Food services
Restaurants and fast food chains already use AI technology to take orders from customers and recommend menu items.

Other roles that will face the brunt of these machine learning tools also include bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and data entry.
Customer Service and Sales
The retail and sales sector will also be heavily impacted by AI.
Service Now and workforce technology expert Pearson, found that nearly a quarter of retail jobs in Australia will be scrapped due to the technology by 2027.
This amounts to 323,000 full-time workers who will be left jobless, as companies transition to cheaper alternatives.
Food services
Restaurants and fast food chains already use AI technology to take orders from customers and recommend menu items.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an alarming rise of an aggressive and highly fatal secondary fungal infection among those with active or recovered COVID-19.
Research suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the overuse of immunosuppressive COVID-19 treatments such as corticosteroids and antibiotics, and the global pandemic response made people more susceptible to coinfections such as COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM).
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is an opportunistic fungal infection that typically affects the sinuses, lungs, and brain. It is caused by a group of molds commonly found in the environment. Before COVID-19, these fungi rarely caused infection because of low virulence, but the second wave of COVID-19 brought tens of thousands of reported cases. Even the Omicron variant, which was generally attributed to mild COVID-19, has been linked to lethal mucormycosis infections in the United States and Asia.

Students sitting for the STAAR exam throughout the state of Texas will have their written answers automatically graded by artificial intelligence. The development comes as some fear AI could significantly affect education in the near future.
The exam — provided by the Texas Education Agency — will use an "automated scoring engine" to help grade open-ended questions on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness for writing, reading, science, and social studies. The move is a step beyond using machines to simply grade multiple-choices answers or Scantron sheets.

It's so important children get the right education and skills for the coming AI revolution.

Trump's legal team moves for mistrial over Stormy Daniels' testimony. Apparently her story today is way different than the story she was peddling in 2016.

A federal appeals court has rejected Hunter Biden's effort to throw out gun charges against him, paving the way for a trial to begin next month.
