    A crazed driver told his victims 'I got something for you, mother*******,' before mowing down three men and killing them outside of a Chicago gay bar. Tavis Dunbar 34, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder after turning himself in on Monday following the deaths of Jaylen Ausley, 23, Devonta Vivetter, 27, and Donald Huey, 25, outside of Jeffery Pub around 5am on August 14. A fourth man, Carlee McKinney, 21, was seriously injured after Dunbar plowed the car he borrowed into the men at 5am. At this time, it is not being viewed as a hate crime, as...

    The recall effort kicks off a flurry of legal questions, namely whether the recall will be focused on Priola’s current state Senate district or the one he will begin representing in January Agroup of Republicans on Wednesday initiated a recall against Colorado state Sen. Kevin Priola, two days after the Henderson lawmaker announced he was leaving the GOP to become a Democrat. The recall effort, backed by a deep-pocketed conservative nonprofit, kicks off a flurry of legal questions, namely whether the recall will be focused on Priola’s current state Senate district or the one he will begin representing in January....

    His picks are more extreme than other candidates. They may also be a liability America’s mid-term elections will be decided in part by Donald Trump. It is unusual for a former president to play such a large role in future elections. Mr Trump has endorsed candidates who are loyal to him and shunned the rest. Of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach him for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th 2021, four failed to win renomination. The latest was Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, vice-chair of the committee investigating the former president’s role in the attack....
  • my coworker is using paid paternity leave to work a second job instead of taking care of his baby

    My company recently expanded its parental leave policy so that anyone, regardless of gender, gets the same, generous leave of six months fully paid. It’s called “bonding leave” so the intent is pretty clear. One of my male colleagues told me very matter of factly that he is intending to take his full leave after his wife’s paid maternity leave is up. But, instead of caring for the baby, he is going to get a “second” job for 6 months and his wife is going to stay home with the baby and take unpaid leave from her job. In effect,...

    Scientists have reported the first known case of a person testing positive for monkeypox, Covid-19 and HIV at the same time. Earlier this year, a 36-year-old Italian male began to develop a series of symptoms — including fatigue, fever, and a sore throat — nine days after returning from a trip to Spain. The man, who has not been identified, spent five days in Spain from 16 to 20 June 2022 during which he admitted to having unprotected sex with men. On July 2, the man tested positive for Covid, according to a case study report published in the Journal...

    In July of 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Joe Biden does not have the executive authority to issue “debt forgiveness,” arguing that such action would be illegal and that it has “to be an act of Congress.” “People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,” Pelosi said July 28 at a press conference. “The President can’t do it. So that’s not even a discussion. Not everybody realizes...

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Insider trading expert and husband of the Speaker of the House Paul Pelosi has pleaded guilty to a DUI charge and has been sentenced to live with Nancy Pelosi again after 5 days in prison. "You recklessly put innocent lives in danger, and I have no choice but to make an example of you," said the judge at the sentencing. "In five days' time, you will fly out to Washington, D.C., and move in with your wife Nancy. May God have mercy on your soul." Paul Pelosi will be forced to wear an ankle monitor which...
  • Aspiring GOP Leader Sen. John Thune Backs Cartel Bill Bailout for Discredited Fake News Media

    Sen. John Thune (R-SD), the Senate GOP whip and a likely contender in any future battle to replace Mitch McConnell as GOP leader, is backing a bill that is effectively a bailout for the discredited corporate media. The bill is called the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), and has been extensively covered by Breitbart News in the past. It is unclear if Thune notified his GOP colleagues before he decided to co-sponsor the controversial Democrat-pushed bill. His office did not answer that question.

    On this date in 1290, the vaunting nobleman Zavis of Falkenstein was beheaded below the walls of Hluboka Castle. The Bohemian Premyslid dynasty was at the height of its power in the 13th century. King Ottokar II, ruling a vast swath of central Europe, twice mounted unsuccessful bids for election to the imperial throne. The second man to defeat him, Rudolph,* Ottokar refused to recognize, and open warfare ensued between the men — a war that Rudolph won when Ottokar was killed in battle in 1278. The late sovereign left to his six-year-old son Wenceslaus II a reduced patronage, a...

  • Female molecular geneticist at UC Berkeley debate nails the reason so many women are in fear of trans women in changing rooms and prisons: 'Women have internalized misogyny to the point where the man's comfort takes precedence over the woman's safety'

    A female molecular geneticist participating in a UC Berkeley debate argued that trans women are not women and should not be legally treated as such, citing examples of women's safety fears of trans women in changing rooms and prisons. The geneticist argued that legally treating trans women as women, and allowing them into changing rooms and prisons, means women have put a man's comfort ahead of their own safety - claiming that the behavior of men is inherently different than that of women. 'Women have internalized misogyny to the point where the man's comfort takes precedence over the woman's safety,'...

    LONDON (Reuters) - Cold winters helped Moscow defeat Napoleon and Hitler. President Vladimir Putin is now betting that sky-rocketing energy prices and possible shortages this winter will persuade Europe to strong arm Ukraine into a truce -- on Russia's terms. That, say two Russian sources familiar with Kremlin thinking, is the only path to peace that Moscow sees, given Kyiv says it will not negotiate until Russia leaves all of Ukraine. "We have time, we can wait," said one source close to the Russian authorities, who declined to be named because they are not authorised to speak to the media....

    A school district in northern Virginia is requiring all teachers to complete a training program that says all students - including preschoolers - can request to be addressed by different names or pronouns without parental permission. Fairfax County Public Schools - a school district that has made headlines for woke policies and clashes over teaching critical race theory - started the program 'Supporting Gender Expansive and Transgender Youth' on July 22. The training details requests students can make without parental permission, according to materials obtained by the Washington Examiner.
  • The true cost of Biden's student loan ploy: Models predict debt levels will return in just FOUR YEARS, it will cost each taxpayer at least $2,000, drive inflation higher and cost more than $300billion - and leaves out those who DID pay

    President Biden announced his his long-awaited student loan cancelation plan and an extension of the moratorium on payments Wednesday. Biden was long expected to announce plans to forgive up to $10,000 in student debt for those making up to $125,000, which he did, but he threw in another provision - $20,000 of debt forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients. In addition, borrowers will not be required to pay back loans until January 2023, marking the fifth extension of the payment pause. Pell Grants are usually not repaid unless a student drops out early or does not take the proper number of...

    STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Google's Jigsaw subsidiary will next week launch a campaign aimed at tackling disinformation about Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic based on research by psychologists at two British universities. Working with Jigsaw, the psychologists from the universities of Cambridge and Bristol have produced 90-second clips designed to "inoculate" people against harmful content on social media. The clips, which will run in advertising slots on Google's YouTube video platform, aim to help people identify emotional manipulation and scapegoating in a news headline. The research was spread over seven experiments, including with a group of Americans...
  • 'Not one single bit': Biden insists he had NO advance warning of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago after White House counsel said she 'defers' to the President in National Archives letter

    President Joe Biden said forcefully on Wednesday that he had 'zero' advance notice of the FBI's raid on former President Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago – after a newly revealed document showed archival officials contacting White House lawyers about material that was earlier handed over by Trump. 'I didn't have any advanced notice. None. Zero. Not one single bit,' Biden said, making a zero sign with his hand for emphasis.' Biden's statement reflects what White House officials said earlier this month after the extraordinary raid, where FBI agents carted off 10 boxes of material, including some that the government says was...

    Minneapolis Public Schools was sued Tuesday over a clause in its teachers contract that calls for laying off white teachers first. The contract was agreed to by the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and the school district at the conclusion of a three-week teachers strike in March. The Minneapolis Board of Education approved the new contract in May. Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the school district, its superintendent, and the Board of Education on behalf of taxpayer Deborah Jane Clapp. The lawsuit claims that article 15 of the contract, which provides “protections for educators of color,” violates the Equal Protection...
