Liberal media has finally conceded that COVID-19 could indeed have originated in a Wuhan laboratory - after a year spent ridiculing the suggestion. The first fatality from COVID-19 was reported by Chinese state media on January 11, 2020, when a 61-year-old man who was a regular customer at the market in Wuhan died. The first confirmed case in the United States was 10 days later, when a man returned to Washington state from Wuhan.

The COVID-19 virus could potentially have escaped from a laboratory, one of the most senior health officials in the U.S. conceded on Wednesday, as House Republicans published their own report claiming there is 'circumstantial evidence' that the virus originated in a Wuhan facility. The U.S. government has been at pains to downplay speculation that the virus was the result of an accident in China - although they are calling on Beijing to be more transparent about their role. They insist that it is far more likely that COVID-19 originated with animals, and spread naturally to humans. Critics of the Biden...

Tech moguls who made their fortunes from Facebook, Twitter and Netflix have donated at least $7.5 million to groups tied to BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who has in turn publicly backed their policy goals, according to a new report. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, and Patricia Ann Quillin, the wife of Netflix's billionaire CEO, all gave generously to Cullors' PAC and associated charities, according to the New York Post. Cullors for her part has strongly advocated for 'net neutrality', a policy that financially benefits online content providers such as Netflix and social media sites.

Reform of the police is no longer enough, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday, as she joined fellow 'squad' member Rashida Tlaib in calling for the police to be abolished. The New York congresswoman responded on Tuesday to the killing of another black man, Daunte Wright, 20, in a Minneapolis suburb on Sunday. He was killed by a white policewoman, Kimberly Potter, who shot him in the chest at a traffic stop in what Brooklyn Center police chief said was an accident, when she meant to reach for her Taser. 'Daunte Wright's killing was not a random, disconnected 'accident' - it...

Charles and Willa Bruce moved to California from New Mexico with son Harvey. In 1912 they bought land on Manhattan Beach and opened a resort . The resort was one of the first to welcome African Americans to the coast. In 1924 city officials seized two dozen properties through eminent domain.

The family are yet to say what they will do with the land, worth around $72m.

Hunter Biden has joked that 'pants were the problem' while he was on crack, during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel to promote his new memoir on Thursday night. Biden also doubled down on his claim that he does not know if the infamous abandoned laptop belongs to him - despite it being verified by top forensics experts for DailyMail.com. The President's son insisted that he does not know if the laptop was his because he was so detached from reality while on drugs - and went on to say that the scandal around the computer is a 'red herring'.

The move is aimed at restoring the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - the nuclear deal signed under President Obama in 2015 but ripped up by his successor Donald Trump. Sanctions which were 'inconsistent' with the nuclear deal could now be lifted, State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Wednesday.

The federal prosecutor who said Donald Trump could face charges in the riot at the U.S. Capitol was not authorized to speak out, and his remarks caused uproar at the Justice Department, according to a new report. Michael Sherwin, the Trump-appointed former acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, broke protocol by not seeking department approval for the interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday, people briefed on the matter told CNN. The remarks reportedly infuriated senior officials in the department, where new Attorney General Merrick Garland is pushing for a 'no drama' policy and discouraging comments on active investigations.

An official Twitter account of the U.S. Marines has apologized for tweets lacking 'professionalism' after calling Fox News host Tucker Carlson a 'boomer' and hitting out at other critics in a debate over pregnant service members.

'They are a crucial part to our corps and we need them to know that. We will adjust fire and ensure the utmost professionalism in our tweets,' the apology continued....
