Crowds of angry rioters gathered in rainy downtown Seattle and on Capitol Hill Wednesday evening after a grand jury decided earlier in the day not to charge Kentucky police officers for shooting and killing Breonna Taylor. The evening began with two 7 p.m. rallies — one that began at Westlake Park downtown and ended with a vigil for Taylor outside the U.S. Courthouse, and another at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill that led to smashed windows, 13 arrests, and a referral to the Office of Police Accountability over one officer’s actions. As the night progressed the rioters become even...

The first day Ma’Kiya Congious wore her Black Lives Matter mask to work, no one seemed to bat an eye. In fact, several customers at the Whataburger location in Fort Worth complimented her on the face covering, which is also emblazoned with a fist. But when the Black 19-year-old returned to work the following Monday, a White customer threatened to call the hamburger chain’s corporate office over the mask, prompting a chain of events that led Congious’s managers to fire her and call the police on their own employee. As Whataburger insists it did nothing wrong, the former cashier filed...

The Senate’s Hunter Biden report has thrust the former vice president’s wayward son back into the spotlight he managed to mostly avoid since the end of the impeachment ordeal that wrapped up with a Senate acquittal in February. My book, “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump,” demonstrates how the Trump impeachment might have been ridiculous, but was by no means inconsequential. The biggest consequence might have been a media blackout on Hunter’s financial dealings from scrutiny. Much of what the 87-page report from Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Finance Committee goes well...

Eleven Metropolitan police officers were injured in a suspected vitriolage attack during a drugs bust in the North London borough of Barnet. The injuries occurred on Wednesday just before 2 p.m. during an intelligence-led drugs raid, part of a wider operation, at a property in an industrial area in Dale Close.

China attacked us, and every covid death is a civilian casualty of that attack. Does it matter whether or not China planned this? No. What matters is that China deliberately lied to us, knowing that their lie would assassinate millions across the world. Conclusion:. We are now in a cold war. It doesn't matter what the news says or what anyone says. There is no hiding it. This attack on the WORLD was far worse than all terrorism combined. And thanks to China-gate and all of the stolen tech since 1994, we are unable to fight back the way they...

WS “Fluke” Holland, the man who provided the backbeat for some of rock and roll’s most iconic artists and songs, has died. Holland passed away on Wednesday at his home in Jackson, Tenn. following a short illness. He was 85. A native of Middle Tennessee, Holland played drums on Sun Records star Carl Perkins’ historic early recordings, including Blue Suede Shoes,” “Matchbox,” and “Honey Don’t.” He would become most identified with another Sun alumnus, Johnny Cash, playing behind the Man in Black for more than four decades and cementing his own status with his work on classic recordings including “Ring...

I am a 40-something attorney and mother who lives in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and a garage full of scooters and soccer balls. I often walk with my children to get ice cream and spend weekends hiking through a national park. I am not the type of person who would normally consider becoming a Satanist, but these are not normal times. Like so many other women in the United States, when I learned of Justice Ruth Bader GinsburgÂ’s passing, my first reaction was not grief but fear. I fear that American citizens are inching closer to living in...

While Senate Republicans promise to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court and Democrats threaten to pack the Court, leading Democrats claim precedent is on their side. "Mitch McConnell set the precedent," Massachusetts senator Ed Markey tweeted. "No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court."

- and Obama Officials’ Efforts to Ignore Them Senate Republicans released a report Wednesday detailing the extensive business dealings that Hunter Biden pursued with politically connected foreign nationals while his father Joe Biden was serving as vice president. The 87-page interim (report) is the product of a months-long probe in which members of the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees and their staff reviewed more than 45,000 pages of Obama administration records and interviewed eight witnesses, many of whom are current or former U.S. officials.[snip] The day after Hunter joined the Burisma board in May 2014, Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz,...

The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) probe into the origins of the Russia investigation is also looking into how the FBI handled allegations of political corruption at the Clinton Foundation, sources told The New York Times. Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead the investigation. He reportedly sought documents and interviews about how federal law enforcement officials handled an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit led by former President Bill Clinton and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Sources told the Times that Durham is comparing the FBI’s investigation into alleged bribery at the Clinton Foundation...

Since the pandemic began, just as the Pennsylvania primary was about to occur, they have weathered a delayed primary, a new mail-in voting process that was already set to debut before the pandemic began, stood in line at drastically reduced in-person voting precincts, and with a handful of exceptions, waited through long delays in wanting to know who won the primary contests. “The primary was supposed to be a test run to iron out the kinks of what happens once the ballots are received by individual county officials,” explained Larry Ceisler, a Democratic media professional based in Philadelphia. In short,...

Dr. Anthony Fauci says New Jersey is 'well prepared' for second wave of coronavirus Dustin Racioppi Trenton Bureau New Jersey is "well positioned" for an expected second wave of the coronavirus and serves as an example for other states to reopen sectors of the economy, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Thursday.

... and it's a University poll(Christopher Newport).

Every four years, politicians tell voters they face a choice. This year is no different, but the choice is more than just a choice between right and wrong (and there is a reason they say Republicans represent the right – we are). It is also rejecting the false choice liberals offer that everything must be either/or. They want you to believe America must choose between one thing or the other, but America is a country with boundless potential that is more than capable of doing more than one thing at a time. President Trump proves it daily. If you listen...

Gabriela Saucedo was 22 years old when she arrived in the United States from Mexico in pursuit of the American Dream. Through years of hard work and perseverance, she managed to build a successful life in Arizona. Now, at 56, she believes President Trump is the best candidate to keep that dream alive. Saucedo is among a coalition of Republican Latinos in the battleground state of Arizona who believe having President Trump for a second term would guarantee their concerns and conservative social values — centered around the economy and faith — are protected and maintained. “I want to have...
