Former President Barack Obama claimed reparations for black Americans are 'justified' but explained in his podcast with Bruce Springsteen that it was a 'nonstarter' during his presidency because of 'white resistence'. During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama appeared to oppose reparations and argued that 'the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.' Obama, 59, has launched an eight-episode podcast series called Renegades: Born in the USA with the 71-year-old rock legend, released through Spotify’s partnership with the Obama’s Higher Ground production company.

....One doesn’t have to have Covid in order to have a life that’s meaningful and to suffer a death that’s mournful. Yet most of the public, media, and governments have reacted to Covid as if the only deaths that matter are Covid deaths – as if the only lives that matter are the lives of people with Covid – as if the only risk that matters and, hence, the only risk worth reducing is the risk of suffering from Covid. This lack of proportion – this sudden ignorance that our lives are inescapably filled with many different risks that must...

By the way, Salesforce shut down Project Veritas, too. They cite their...

The 28 congressional signers, led by Rep.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is suspected by experts, including...

COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria (CQV) will undertake a pilot scheme of a robot that captures both audio and video at one of its hotel in coming weeks as part of a wide-ranging review of the state’s troubled hotel quarantine system.

Thank you all for all that you are doing Could you please do one more thing and read the following proposal? I originally researched it and wrote it back in 2009. Our Constitution has already been corrupted to the point where we will need to sustain the type of activities in which you and so many others are valiantly engaged. What it looks like to me is that many of our conservative leaders (not you, or any of the grassroots members/leaders, by the way) are having more fun playing the game and so enjoy having such a broad and robust...

Folk singer Peter Yarrow has been accused in a new lawsuit of raping an underage girl in a Manhattan hotel room in 1969. The accusations were lodged against Yarrow, the founding member of legendary ’60s trio Peter, Paul and Mary, in a Wednesday Manhattan Supreme Court suit that was brought under the Child Victims Act.

He then “took an interest in her,” acting what in what the minor thought was “paternal way,” according to the suit.

...Besides the caterers who had no events, think of the venues that hosted weddings and conventions that have been idled for a year, then add in the rental equipment companies that brought the linens, glassware, and china. They can't all have survived. And then there are the small photographers, florists, videographers, and event planners. The wholesale food suppliers may have fared a bit better, but from what I can see, a lot of them are probably gone, too. That's just one example. There are more, across every aspect of our economy. There is a depth of field in each market...
