PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sesame Place has announced the implementation of diversity and inclusion training for its employees following a $25 million class-action lawsuit alleging multiple incidents of discrimination after outcry sparked from a video of a costumed character snubbing two 6-year-old Black girls went viral online. The Sesame Street-themed park, operated by SeaWorld Parks, in a statement Tuesday said that all employees will be mandated to participate in training created to address bias, promote inclusion and prevent discrimination by the end of September. The training — which was developed by civil rights educators — will also be integrated into onboarding...

On every first Saturday of every month, anti-abortion protesters gather to harass patients at the SoHo Planned Parenthood in the heart of New York City, supposedly a “safe city” for abortion rights. In response, local activist group NYC for Abortion Rights organizes a monthly clinic defense and counter-protest. The NYPD always go out of their way to protect the anti-choice crowd, enabling them to harass patients trying to enter the clinic, as well as physically assault abortion rights activists. In that regard, today was no different. But today, the end of the morning, five clinic defenders were in handcuffs. The...

The Stasi-FBI and Joe Biden’s Department of Justice raided President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday in a 9-and-a-half hour siege on his historic compound.

Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have no plans to release a copy of the search warrant used to raid Mar-a-Lago on Monday, leaving it up to the Department of Justice to detail the reasons for the unprecedented operation, according to a new report. “No, we’re not releasing a copy of the warrant,” NBC News quoted a source close to the 45th president as saying. Trump attorney Christina Bobb did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Post. The report comes one day after Rep.

New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman is now pretending to be a climate expert since his economic record on inflation is just awful. Now, he’s celebrating Democrat senators for allegedly trying to “save” civilization from a supposed eco-disaster with their $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, projected to worsen inflation. The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is currently considering the legislation. Krugman was tickled pink in his latest drivel headlined: “Did Democrats Just Save Civilization?” In the lead of the story, he fawned: “They really did it.” He continued: “This is a very big deal. The act isn’t, by itself, enough...

Former President Donald Trump suggested the FBI may have planted evidence during the bureau’s raid at his Mar-a-Lago home because members of his team were blocked from watching the agents. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, the former president wrote that “the FBI and others from the Federal Government would not let anyone, including my lawyers, be anywhere near the areas that were rummaged and otherwise looked at during the raid on Mar-a-Lago.” “Everyone was asked to leave the premises, they wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not,...

Riverside police were summoned, and...

In six days, Wyoming will determine the fate of its sole member of Congress, Rep. Liz Cheney, in the nation's most high-profile House primary of the year. Cheney's reelection has seized the spotlight ever since former President Donald Trump promised to exact revenge on the 10 members of his party who voted to impeach him over the January 6, 2021, Capitol siege. Then-the highest-ranking Republican of the bunch, Cheney became Trump's No 1. Target.

Pantheon: A temple dedicated to all the gods. On Monday's New Day, CNN wasted no time this morning in elevating Joe Biden to near-godlike status for doing what Democrats do best: spending unimaginable amounts of taxpayer money, and raising taxes. CNN analyst Ryan Lizza celebrated the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" as putting Biden in the "pantheon" of greats. “For history, I think it’s a pretty big deal. You know, if you add up those seven pieces of legislation, it’s a $3.5 trillion agenda that Biden and the Democrats have passed since early last year. There’s really nothing like that in...

As a discharged U.S. Navy veteran, Gavin Casdorph said he knew better than to invoke the name of ISIS to terrorize an American college. But that’s exactly what the 22-year-old Anchorage, Alaska, man did when he used a fake Twitter account to create a bomb scare at Lafayette College in Easton. Casdorph was sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison Wednesday for the May 8, 2018, bomb scare and for firebombing a car in Canada on Feb. 23, 2018. He appeared at the federal courthouse in Easton. Casdorph apologized for “creating a very real and very scary...

As reported earlier today — President Trump declassified a binder on January 19th, 2021 that contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal.

The city of Longmont has postponed the expansion of its Nelson-Flanders Water Treatment Plant because inflation has pushed the estimated cost of the project to roughly $27 million over budget. Originally, the construction was estimated to cost $46.7 million but has since ballooned to $73.8 million, Longmont Senior Civil Engineer Joe Michalski said in an email Monday. In particular, the cost of wood, steel, pipes and fuel have driven up the cost dramatically, Michalski said.
