Amazon showed it has its limits when it comes to its dedication to diversity and inclusion when it failed to continue streaming a critically acclaimed and popular documentary on the only black Supreme Court justice during Black History Month. Recently, Amazon Prime dropped Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, an acclaimed and popular PBS documentary on Justice Clarence Thomas, making it unavailable to stream during Black History Month. Thomas is our nation’s only black justice currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court, and one would think that between Amazon’s claim to “building an inclusive culture” and the fact...

Back in October of 2004, Jon Stewart — then at the height of his fame and relevance — went on CNN’s “Crossfire” and committed a murder on live TV. You can read the transcript here. Readers will recall this was the infamous “hurting America” clip, where Stewart crapped all over the very concept of a debate show that paired left and right as co-equals in a running debate over the direction of America.

A distorted view of COVID control measures has become an obstacle for quality science, researchers reveal Researchers have found that preventing COVID-19 deaths has been elevated to a “sacred value” in society, such that those who question pandemic restrictions are morally condemned. Meanwhile deaths, abuses of power, and public shaming that occur in the name of “preventing COVID” are deemed acceptable. The unprecedented restrictions placed upon Western civilizations in 2020 would likely have been met with protest a year earlier. But, when issued in the name of COVID-19 mitigation, people are more likely to accept what otherwise might be regarded...

The California State Supreme Court has issued its ruling on Senate Bill 1391, which was challenged in the case of Adrian “A.J.” Gonzalez, the accused killer of 8-year-old Madyson “Maddy” Middleton. In a written opinion issued on Thursday, the court stated that SB 1391 was constitutional. The law, which went into effect in 2019, prevents anyone under the age of 16 years old being tried as an adult. The Middleton Family released a statement after the supreme court ruling. "The decision by the California Supreme Court that SB 1391 is constitutional is absolutely disappointing to our family. We have thought...

TOPLINE A number of senators who objected to President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory last month now want to “restore confidence” in American elections with a long-shot bill severely restricting voting as part of a nationwide push by GOP politicians to scale back expanded voting access.

39-year-old Kenyeitta Gordon of Jacksonville, Florida was able to successfully rob the bank she was visiting Monday evening, but the getaway was less successful. Maybe she should have reconsidered her getaway vehicle: her electric wheelchair. According to Action News Jax, Gordon grew frustrated after she was unable to withdraw some money. She started screaming profanities at the teller and began demanding money. The teller then gave Gordon $100, and she immediately fled from the bank. Unfortunately because she was in a wheelchair, she didn't make it very far, and the police caught up to her quickly, upon which she was...

After a whistleblower complained that Coca-Cola was asking its employees to engage in diversity training offered by LinkedIn Learning that encouraged them to "try to be less white," the social media firm has removed the program. "The Confronting Racism course featuring Robin DiAngelo is no longer available in our course library, at the request of the 3rd party content provider we licensed this content from," LinkedIn vice president of corporate communications Nicole Leverich told Newsweek in an email on Monday. "We provide a wide variety of learning content, including more than 270 courses on the topics of diversity, inclusion and...

The footage looks like something out of a how-to video on stopping a robber. In it, a man wearing a blue hoodie and jeans crosses the street with the victim's blue suitcase and backpack in tow. Within seconds, he drops the suitcase and tries to enter the getaway car — shown in the video as a gray Chevy Impala with the license plates 5ZZN552.

PAWTUCKET, RI—Hasbro announced today the replacement of its popular G.I. Joe action figure with an updated version that's much more fitting in the current year: G.I. Pat, a genderless take on the action hero. After public outcry over the extremely masculine G.I. Joe, Hasbro finally caved and agreed to remove the super-macho action hero from store shelves. "Now you know your gender identity -- and knowing is half the battle!" shouts an actor playing G.I. Pat in a commercial for the new toy as he struggles to light a Molotov cocktail and picks up a brick with the utmost effort....

Durham gone. Deep state wins

Back in 2018, Oumou Kanoute, a black psychology student at Smith College in Massachusetts, made a false allegation of racism. Naturally, the college immediately embraced the accusation as fact and now numerous lives have been destroyed. It gets worse… Even though an independent investigation cleared everyone of wrongdoing all the way back in October of 2018, only now is it being reported that this was yet another race hoax — only now after our fake media presented the hoax to the public as gospel and never followed up with the truth. What happened was this… Kanoute was eating in a...

LONDON — It seemed like a windfall in the campaign to vaccinate the world. President Joe Biden last week announced $4 billion for a humanitarian program called COVAX — short for Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access plan — which aims to fairly distribute vaccines between rich countries and the developing world. But in more than a dozen interviews, current and former officials involved with COVAX and experts with detailed knowledge of the plan suggest Biden's mountains of cash and rhetorical support will not address the real reasons behind the dire state of global vaccine inequality. Some critics say Biden is repeating...

To reveal the paintings, the scientists used a technique called multi-illumination hyperspectral extraction (MHX), which involves taking dozens of images in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet bands of light and processing them using statistical algorithms developed at the National Research Council of Italy in Pisa, said team member Vincenzo Palleschi, a senior researcher at the research council. The technique can detect Egyptian blue, a color developed in ancient Egypt that "has a very specific response in a single spectral band," Palleschi said. The team also analyzed the residual remains of other remaining colors to help determine what colors were in...

Eight employees of Russia's Embassy in Pyongyang and their families spent more than 34 hours trying to leave North Korea this week, a grueling trip that ended with at least one diplomat pushing his luggage and young children on a railway trolley into Russian territory. North Korea's borders have been effectively locked down for months as part of the Kim Jong Un regime's efforts to keep Covid-19 at bay, stranding the few diplomats operating inside Pyongyang. North Korean state-owned airline Air Koryo operates flights from Vladivostok in eastern Russia, but those flights have also been suspended for months. The labyrinthine...
