Target's chief diversity and inclusion officer has suggested that white women should help tackle systemic racism in the workplace by using their voice more. Keira Fernandez made the comment earlier this year, encouraging white women to speak up against transgressions 'so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to.' She then spoke to a white person on the panel, and made the claim that in certain spaces their voice would 'be heard differently than mine.' Fernandez said: 'And that is why we're doing this work. That's why it's so important to have this conversation. 'But we also...

The Missouri ER doctor who mysteriously disappeared last week was found dead from a gunshot wound in an Arkansas lake, authorities confirmed Wednesday — as his brother said the devoted healthcare worker may have been in danger because he had previously been kidnapped. Dr. John Forsyth’s body was found Tuesday by a kayaker in an Arkansas lake — about an hour south of where he was last seen in Cassville, Missouri — with what appeared to be a gunshot wound, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office said in a release. Cassville Police Captain James Smith told The Post that the 49-year-old’s...

A CORRUPT 'PROGRESSIVE REFORMER' GOES DOWN IN FLAMES. Back in 2021, President Joe Biden fought hard to win Senate confirmation for Rachael Rollins to become the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts. Rollins was the district attorney of Suffolk County, which includes Boston, and she had become notorious by pledging not to prosecute many crimes. Early in her term, she published the "Rollins Memo" that listed 15 crimes in which the "default is to decline prosecuting" — that is, in which her office would not allow its attorneys to prosecute unless a supervisor gave special permission. Here is the list: 1) Trespassing,...

Now, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to buy massive amounts of renewable energy to help keep the lights on. The idea is to use the state's purchasing power to convince private companies to build largescale power plants that run off of heat from underground sites and strong winds blowing off the coast — the kinds of power that utility companies have not been buying because it's too expensive and would take too long to build. “We laid out the markers on solar and wind, but we recognize that’s not going to get us where we need to go,” Newsom said...

The U.S. government has given Chinese and Russian entities at least $1.3 billion for various research programs over the past five years, according to an analysis released Wednesday by Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst and watchdog group Open the Books. The analysis revealed that millions of taxpayer dollars have been given to, among others, a Chinese software developer for military tech support, a Russian health insurance provider that has since been sanctioned and Chinese agriculture companies. And it showed the federal government gave $2 million, more than previously reported, to the Chinese state-run Wuhan lab studying bat coronaviruses. "Washington’s continued...

Lucy Mercer Rutherford is most well-known for being the mistress of President Franklin Roosevelt. While FDR told his wife Eleanor that he ended the affair in 1918, Lucy Mercer was by his side on the day he died.

Kayleigh McEnany came under attack by her former boss on Truth Social last night. His very thin skin was pierced by the former White House press secretary, now a Fox News host and contributor. Kayleigh quoted a poll number Trump disagreed with and he went full force against her on his social media platform. (snip) Kayleigh was hired by Trump to replace Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I really liked Sarah in the job, too. Both women had the ability to stand firm against the daily attacks by the press corps and defend Trump. They didn’t back down when the dialogue heated...

President Biden said Wednesday that he believes that things are going according to plan so far for the House to pass the bipartisan debt ceiling package despite several Democrats and Republicans vowing to vote in opposition of the measure. “We’re going to deal with the debt ceiling,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “I think things are going as planned, God willing.” Biden said he is hopeful that by the time he lands in Colorado later Wednesday evening ahead of a planned address to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the bill will have passed the House. The vote...

Republicans are crying foul following the news of President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) targeting West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s (R) family. Justice, who is also a GOP Senate candidate hoping to unseat Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), is the latest to experience political targeting from Biden’s DOJ, as it has filed a civil complaint against his family’s coal empire — over a dozen coal businesses ran or owned by his son Jay Justice — citing “repeated violations of the law” in hopes of recovering what the assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division Todd Kim...

A veteran CUNY law professor has blamed the “blatant call for American insurrection” in this year’s graduate commencement speech on the school being run by a bunch of “far left, Marxist lunatics.” Professor Jeffrey Lax, a full-time CUNY professor for 20 years, told Fox News that Fatima Mousa Mohammed’s anti-Israel call for revolution was “the most disturbing commencement speech I have ever heard in my entire life.” But “the problem is not her,” he insisted of the radical Queens grad who called the NYPD “fascist” and accused Israel of indiscriminately murdering Palestinians. “Students are allowed to be idiots — you’re...

The National Eating Disorders Association disabled its chatbot, named Tessa, due to the “harmful” responses it gave people. “Every single thing Tessa suggested were things that led to the development of my eating disorder,” activist Sharon Maxwell wrote in an Instagram post. The chatbot was set to become the primary support system for people seeking help from the association, the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to eating disorders. Tessa, described as the “wellness chatbot,” was trained to address body-image issues using therapeutic methods and limited responses. However, the bot encouraged Maxwell to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, count calories,...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” House Assistant Minority Leader Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed that while President Joe Biden “has increased a lot of spending” “We didn’t run up the debt” because they paid for things like the American Rescue Plan Act. Clyburn said, “[Former President Donald Trump] made it very clear that if he were President, he would understand the sanctity of maintaining the good faith and credit of the United States of America. Now that he’s no longer President, he doesn’t care whether or not the country defaults. So, that’s the hypocrisy that’s in this. Look,...

..... Lake: The video shows Maricopa County breaking the seals on the tabulator machines and basically reprogramming them. There’s no observers there, there’s no Republican, Democrat observers, and no lawyers there, they’re breaking into the machines, [and] reprogramming them so that they would fail on election day. And this is what you’re seeing here. Now, we did try to bring this in when we were just in court. We told the judge, “hey, look, we got this new information that we did not have in the last trial because Maricopa County dragged their feet and wouldn’t give us the system...

In true Michael Scott fashion, two Hawaii tourists followed their GPS right into the water. On April 29, a tourist drove a Dodge Caravan into the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, according to Hawaii News Now. Christie Hutchinson, who was at the harbor after sailing with a group of friends and her husband, posted a video of the event on social media.

A Florida man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly staged a pair of house fires and claimed they were racially motivated attacks when he fell behind on home payments. George Carneiro was arrested in connection with the March 13 blazes that caused “extensive property damage” at two newly built, vacant homes he owned in Clay Hill, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office announced on Tuesday. The incidents were initially investigated as hate crimes after deputies found signs with swastikas and emblazoned with the words “Latinos are not welcome” at the scene, WTLV reported. Officials now believe that Carneiro staged the...
