MSNBC pundit Joe Scarborough tore into leading Republicans on Thursday for their rhetoric on abortion following the leak of a draft opinion showing the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. “The Republicans say ‘oh we’re going to replace and reform.’ They haven’t done anything,” Scarborough said on his show, “Morning Joe.” “The fact is, they do support the death penalty, that is one thing they support. But more and more this seems to be a party that really believes that life begins at conception but ends at childbirth.”

Russia's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square on May 9 is set to be considerably scaled back compared to last year, according to data from the Russian Ministry of Defense. -snip- But this year, amid Putin's invasion of Ukraine, fewer people and less military equipment will be at the 2022 Victory Day parade, data published by the Defense Ministry on April 29 shows. The ministry said 129 units of military equipment will cross Red Square on May 9, while last year, 191 military vehicles took part. -snip- Russian authorities have not specified why this year's Victory Parade is being...

I omitted to state that Gloucester is also...

Around 4 days ago I started noticing the mentions of food processing plant fires and it caught my attention. I noticed that most of the threads and images that were being posted were repeats and that really only about 20 facilities were being listed.3 days ago through the power of autism I began meticulously cataloging and archiving every single instance of a major fire or incident at food processing plants, large farms, grain/cereal storage/processing facilities, and warehouses that store fertilizer and agriculture related chemicals and large equipment meant for industrial level farms going back to 2019.Incidents at food processing plants...

Computer models that project future climates are widely used for adaptation, mitigation and resilience planning. More than 50 such models were assessed and compared in the latest round of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6), run by the World Climate Research Programme1. It is crucial that researchers know the best way to use those outputs to provide consistent information for climate science and policy. We are climate modellers and analysts who develop, distribute and use these projections. We know scientists must treat them with great care. Users beware: a subset of the newest generation of models are ‘too...

Pope Francis appeared to partly blame the West for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an interview published this week, suggesting that the "barking of NATO at Russia's door" may have forced Putin's hand. Francis also condemned the weapons industry and said the "arms trade is a scandal" that "few oppose."

TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge Wednesday rejected a request by the Biden administration to toss out a lawsuit filed by Florida over the release of undocumented immigrants. Pensacola-based U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell denied a motion by U.S. Department of Justice attorneys to dismiss the case, which Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office filed last year. The lawsuit alleges that the Biden administration has violated immigration laws through policies that have led to people being released from detention after crossing the U.S. border with Mexico. Also, it alleges that the releases affect Florida because of issues such as increased...

An advocacy group is urging the Justice Department to investigate Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz for doing work for Turkish Airlines without registering as a foreign agent — but Oz says he just made a couple of videos. The celebrity doctor is featured in promotional videos shown to passengers of the airline, which is 49.12 percent owned by the Turkish government, according to a 2015 FARA filing by public relations firm Golin/Harris. “Dr. Oz clearly serves as a foreign agent on behalf of the foreign principal Turkish Airlines,” Armenian National Committee of America executive director Aram Hamparian wrote in a...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr suggested a special counsel may need to be appointed to discover who released the draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and said the leaker could potentially be charged with obstruction of justice. Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered the marshal of the court to begin an investigation to discover who leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s ruling striking down the landmark 1973 decision, but Barr said that might not be enough.

The authenticated leak of Justice Samuel Alito's draft 5-4 opinion overruling the United States Supreme Court 1973 abortion rights precedent of Roe v. Wade is likely to stick. The draft fully reflected the judicial philosophies of the five-member majority and the oral argument last December in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. But overruling Roe is not the nail in the coffin for abortion rights. Far from it. The overruling would entrust abortion policy to the 50 state legislatures, with a marginal role for the federal government through the power of the purse or the regulation of interstate commerce, e.g.,...

As its stock tanks and its subscribers continue to flee, Netflix is now facing a shareholder lawsuit accusing the left-wing streamer of misleading investors about the difficulties the company was experiencing in retaining customers. The lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday in a northern California federal court, covers Netflix shareholders who bought the stock between October 19, 2021 and April 19, 2022 — a period during which the value of the stock plummeted a stunning 67 percent. “As a result of Defendants’ wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company’s securities, Plaintiff and other...

Just on 15 million people have lost their lives in the two years the Chinese coronavirus pandemic has stalked the globe, statistics released Thursday by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) detail. That grim figure is some 13 percent higher than might normally be expected for the corresponding 24-month period. More men (57 percent) have died directly or indirectly as a result of coronavirus than women (43 percent) worldwide, the W.H.O. data shows.

Consumer prices in Turkey soared nearly 70% in April from a year ago, hitting a two-decade high, official figures show. Transport, food prices and household furnishings recorded the sharpest rise in annual inflation, with transport costs more than doubling over the year. Countries around the world are dealing with a growing cost of living crisis. But Turkey's problems have been made worse by its president's reluctance to raise interest rates - a commonly used tool to help cool inflation. The cost of food and non-alcoholic drinks saw an annual increase of 89.1%, while furnishings and household equipment were up 77.64%....

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Clinics in California are preparing for a possible surge of patients if abortion is banned in many other states in the country in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned. With more than two dozen states expected to ban or restrict abortion access, Gov. Gavin Newsom has said California will serve as a sanctuary.

Here’s some simple Medusa math for you: negative growth + payroll gains = negative productivity. Negative productivity + high labor costs = very high unit labor costs. That’s not a pretty picture for the economy or for companies, and the Q1 figures were even worse than expected — productivity fell by 7.5%, pushing unit labor costs up by 11.6%. Nasty. In fact, labor productivity fell to the lowest level since 1947 and President Harry Truman. Of course, Biden’s green energy policies have led to crushing inflation. Biden’s policies are a Medusa-touch on the economy. The new logo for the Biden...

As Disney grapples with the aftermath of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revoking the company's special tax district, business leaders around the globe are contemplating their own company values as political issues take center stage. "I don't think [Disney CEO Bob Chapek] did his homework," Bill George, a Harvard Business School professor, said. "We're in a different world today — he was acting like he was back in the 1990s. In this world of 2022, you have all kinds of stakeholders who expect you to take a position, especially your employees," adding that workers today have found their voice "particularly in...

President Joe Biden and his administration appear perilously close to an irreversible severing of public confidence in his capacity to deliver prosperity and financial security as stiff economic challenges balloon into huge political liabilities. A CNN poll released Wednesday shows that the President's repeated efforts to highlight undeniably strong aspects of the economy's post-pandemic rebound and to offset blame for its bad spots aren't working. The main culprit is inflation, a corrosive force that the White House initially underestimated and has failed to tame. It's been decades since Americans have experienced this demoralizing cycle of spiraling costs for basic goods...
