The Democrats' likely presidential candidate Joe Biden has demanded justice over the killing of an unarmed black man in the US state of Georgia. Mr Biden said his heart went out to the family of Ahmaud Arbery. Mr Arbery, 25, was jogging in February when confronted by an ex-policeman and his son.

An earlier decision by a prosecutor in the Brunswick jurisdiction argued there was no probable cause to arrest Gregory...

Everyone’s got an opinion on what the post-corona world will look like. What will the economy look like? Which businesses will remain and how will they adapt? How will our work lives and social and communal lives change? Most of us agree it will be a different world; we’re just fuzzy on the details. There’s one detail, however, that I feel pretty confident about: We’re going to hate going to airports. If you think flying is a schlep now, wait until you see what our nervous airlines and transport authorities have in store for us. Remember how annoying it was...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday sent a letter urging a Dallas judge to free a woman he sent to jail a day earlier after she refused to apologize for keeping her hair salon open in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott's order aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Soon after, Abbott said he agreed with his attorney general on the matter. Paxton, whose office said Shelly Luther was "unjustly jailed" in a release, told Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé that he had abused his discretion and emphasized that the woman was keeping her business open...

Republicans criticized Gov. JB Pritzker’s plan to reopen the state on a regional basis Wednesday saying it will still harm businesses and was developed without input from lawmakers. Republican lawmakers also renewed their call for the General Assembly to be called back to Springfield and for several days if necessary to address a number of pressing issues beyond passing a budget. Pritzker announced a plan Tuesday that will reopen the state in phases and by regions as long as new cases of the coronavirus drop and adequate medical facilities are available in the event of a resurgence. “The governor laid...

Politico's Tim Alberta had an embarrassing temper tantrum after the New York Times published a letter from a 'founder of Politico' that said Biden winning was more important than justice for an alleged rape victim. On Tuesday, the New York Times published a letter to the editor from Martin Tolchin, identifying him as “a former member of The Times’s Washington bureau and a founder of Politico.” The letter took issue with a Times editorial that said the media should stop digging into sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden from former employee Tara Reade. Instead, the Times argued, some papers of...

House Democrats are pushing forward with a massive fifth round of coronavirus relief legislation that could be their most far-reaching effort yet to address the economic fallout of the pandemic -- and come with another price tag in the trillions. While the House is still technically on recess, Democratic leadership and committee chairs have been drafting their legislative laundry lists for the relief package that could rival the cost of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act that passed in March, or exceed it. "We're looking at a multitrillion-dollar bill," one House Democratic aide told Fox News. While the text of the...

The head of Sweden’s coronavirus response, Anders Tegnell, claimed the Wuhan coronavirus might have been in the country as early as November. Tegnell made his comments at a press conference on Tuesday saying there might have been individual cases of the Chinese virus as far back as November.

It doesn’t sound at all strange but very possible,” the state epidemiologist said, according...

A must watch video concerning Covid 19 and Fauci's relationship to its development and pandemic control play.

This is what leadership looks like. I decided not to cover this earlier in hopes Governor Abbott would decide to intervene, and sure enough, he just did. Most are aware that a Dallas-area salon owner named Shelley Luther was sentenced to a week in prison yesterday by an abusive Dallas judge, after she defied Abbott’s order that her business was “non-essential” and opened it up briefly last week. Police intervened, cited her and ordered her to appear in court. During her hearing on Tuesday, the judge in the case, State District Court Judge Eric Moye, agreed with her that the...
