I went to two links and they’re removing Hunter stories. Click link in Initial Post, and see one.

One of the downsides of wearing camouflage is how much you stand out in the crowd while running errands after a hunting trip. Ironically, camouflage — the pattern designed to blend in — has the opposite effect once the wearer leaves the woods and rejoins society. Instead of concealing, it becomes conspicuous. What if there was a way to quickly don and shed camouflage layers, seamlessly blending in between natural and civilized environments? Nomad has the perfect solution with the Leafy Zip Pullover and Pants that quickly and efficiently chameleon-ifies you into a hunter. One moment, you might look like...

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Dozens of Fells Point businesses say they are prepared to hold their city taxes, minor privilege fees and permit fees hostage until Baltimore increases police enforcement and municipal service in the area, according to a letter signed by 37 neighborhood restaurants and storefronts. The announcement comes after three men were shot Saturday night on Thames Street and Aliceanna Street. “What is happening in our front yard — the chaos and lawlessness that escalated this weekend into another night of tragic, unspeakable gun violence — has been going on for far too long,” said the letter addressed to...

While the Democrats were juggling many priorities over the past several months — including impeaching former President Donald Trump and passing a massive pandemic relief package — the inaction on many of the last-minute Trump rules disappointed some progressive advocates, who had urged the party to strike the rules as quickly as possible. “It’s disappointing because it’s so important,” said Sasha Buchert, a senior attorney for Lambda Legal, a civil rights advocacy organization focused on LGBTQ issues. The group had pushed Congress to undo a Trump-era rule allowing social services providers receiving federal funds to discriminate based on sexual orientation...

Do any of you racist mongers ever wonder why God did not make the moon more diverse?

"If you look at our numbers year over year, month over month, we're actually trending in the right direction," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday. Mayor Lightfoot made a startling claim after the Sun-Times reported a huge increase in the number of Chicago children wounded or killed by guns. The mayor said she was on the South and West sides last weekend when an astounding 63 people of all ages were shot. "Many of the people that are being shot are being shot by people who look just like them, similar age. And so this whole of government approach that...

A Serbian volleyball player has been banned for two matches after making a racist gesture during a game against Thailand last week. Sanja Djurdjevic was pictured on camera narrowing her eyes with her fingers, causing outrage from fans online. The player has since apologised along with the Volleyball Federation of Serbia, who described the incident as a "simple misunderstanding". The federation has also been fined 20,000 Swiss francs (£15,832; $22,392). The money will be donated to "a cause tackling discriminatory behaviour and/or to fund educational programmes on cultural sensitivity for the global Volleyball Family," the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) announced...

It’s Cribs: the 2021 New York City mayoral race edition. City Hall candidate and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams invited the press over to his home in Bedford-Stuyvesant for breakfast and a tour after a Politico report suggested he actually lives in New Jersey. “Welcome to my humble home. I moved here to Bedford-Stuyvesant over almost 20 years ago,” Adams said Wednesday in front of the four-story brick home on Lafayette Avenue. He also joked that other campaigns would have easily found out if he wasn’t a city resident and that he should have offered any spies from his rivals...

SAN JOSE, CA—Local half-white, half-black man Michael Preston has been ordered to pay himself reparations since half his ancestors were oppressed and half were oppressors. "Wait -- what?" he said after he received a letter from Governor Gavin Newsom's office informing him he owed himself over $25,000. "Uh... OK? I guess?" He then went down to the bank and ordered a transfer to himself. He was a little short of the total amount so made it in installments, sending himself several payments totaling the $25,000 amount he owes himself for his ancestors oppressing his other ancestors. "We'd like to thank...

Communist candidate Pedro Castillo appears to have won the Peruvian presidential election as of Wednesday afternoon in a tight race separating him from rival conservative Keiko Fujimori by less than 0.5 percent of the vote.

U.S. Park Police did not clear Lafayette Park and the nearby area of protesters on June 1, 2020, so President Donald Trump could walk from the White House over to St. John’s Church, but learned of his interest in surveying the site hours after they already had begun planning to clear the area to put up new fencing, according to a new watchdog report. The Interior Department’s inspector general did not determine whether law enforcement acted inappropriately against demonstrators last year, but found that poor communication between agencies and ineffective dispersal warnings "may have contributed to confusion during the operation...

Inflation may look like a problem that will go away, but is more likely to persist and lead to a crisis in the years ahead, according to a warning from Deutsche Bank economists. In a forecast that is well outside the consensus from policymakers and Wall Street, Deutsche issued a dire warning that focusing on stimulus while dismissing inflation fears will prove to be a mistake if not in the near term then in 2023 and beyond. The analysis especially points the finger at the Federal Reserve and its new framework in which it will tolerate higher inflation for the...

Police arrest Juan Remy Quignolot after finding weapons, military fatigues and foreign currency at his residenceA French national has been charged with espionage in the Central African Republic (CAR), a month after he was arrested with a cache of weapons and ammunition at his home, attorney-general Eric Didier Tambo said on Wednesday. Police arrested Juan Remy Quignolot, 55, in May after finding weapons, military fatigues and foreign bank notes at his residence in the capital Bangui. Authorities accused him of having aided and trained rebel fighters since 2013. The gold- and diamond-producing nation of 4.7-million people has seen repeated bouts...

Even prior to his first day in office, Donald Trump was labeled a threat to democracy, an absurd Orwellian claim that continued throughout his four years. What democracy threat? Were there no continuing elections--national, state, and local--during those years? Of course there were. And our democracy has two other branches of government—Congress and the judiciary. The House declared war on Trump almost from day one. But the alleged tyrant could not stop the endless investigations. Maxine Waters urged Americans to harass Trump people whenever they can—and they did. And while Trump was able to make important appointments, the judiciary ruled...

Graphical abstract. Credit: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2021.05.004 A solar cell developed by physicists from the University of Luxembourg and Uppsala University has recently been certified with an efficiency of 14%, which comes close to the world record of 15.5%. These new findings have been recently accepted for publication in the international journal of energy research Joule. Solar cells technology has seen significant progress over the last decades, putting solar cells among the lowest cost sources of electricity in central Europe. Solar cells have fundamental physical limitations, and they can never be 100% efficient. Promising new technologies Materials for solar cells are always a...

A Florida high school halted the distribution of its yearbook over a section dedicated to the Black Lives Matter movement. David Fleischer, who is the yearbook adviser at West Broward High School in Pembroke Pines, said the students were told that they had to stop handing out the yearbooks on Friday to allow school officials to review concerns about two pages that covered the racial justice movement, CNN reported. “I found out that it was because there were some complaints from teachers and from parents about the content of the BLM page,” Fleischer told the outlet. “That it didn’t seem...
