It finally happened. “Rush Hour” — yes, the 1998 Jackie Chan–Chris Tucker buddy cop comedy — has been deemed too problematic for modern audiences. USA Network recently aired the film with a trigger warning slapped on before the opening credits. The message read: We all love our buddy comedies … but this movie was created in a different time. FYI certain depictions, language and humor may seem outdated and at times offensive We’ve entered an age where satire, and even just broad comedy from a pre-social media era are being flagged like hazardous material. “Rush Hour,” with its broad humor,...

A coalition of highly influential medical and public health associations has sued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and its component agencies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), over HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s policy announcement in late May that the CDC was removing COVID-19 vaccination from its vaccine schedule, citing the threat to public health. Specifically, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Physicians (ACP), American Public Health Association (APHA), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), Massachusetts Public Health...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole dissenter in a key Supreme Court decision favoring President Trump, prompting questions about a growing rift with her liberal colleagues. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appears to be increasingly isolated among her colleagues, including her fellow liberal justices, following a recent decision that handed a legal victory to President Donald Trump. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley observed on Wednesday that Justice Jackson was the sole dissenter in an 8-1 ruling that allows Trump to proceed with plans to potentially reduce the federal workforce. The case centered on a lower...

In 1945, Edward Lowe (1920-1995) created an industry when he developed a clay- based cat box filler as a favor to a friend. Upon realizing the potential of his product, he faithfully pursued informing people of the need his new Kitty Litter® could fill. More than any man, Ed Lowe brought the cat in from the barn and out of the alley. Ed and the housebroken cat revolutionized the way people thought about cats and literally made them into America's favorite pet. In 1985, Ed turned his attention to helping other entrepreneurs achieve their own goals by creating the Edward...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump promised West African leaders a pivot from aid to trade during a White House meeting Wednesday as the region reels from the impact of sweeping U.S. aid cuts. Trump said he sees “great economic potential in Africa” as the leaders of Liberia, Senegal, Gabon, Mauritania and Guinea-Bissau boasted of their countries’ natural resources and heaped praise on the U.S. president, including their thanks for his help in settling a long-running conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Trump described the nations represented at the meeting as “all very vibrant places with very...

Former CIA Director John Brennan has finally broken his silence after news broke that he is under criminal investigation by the FBI for his misconduct during the Trump–Russia probe — and his response was as arrogant and evasive as ever. In a softball interview with MSNBC, Brennan dismissed the criminal referral as politically motivated fiction, refusing to take any responsibility for his role in promoting what turned out to be one of the biggest political hoaxes in American history. The disgraced ex-CIA chief then doubled down on the thoroughly debunked narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help...

Unbelievably, it's worse than top leaders' use of organized child rape as a rite of passage; they threaten assassination of anyone who doesn't cooperate, no matter how high--"I'll hit you so hard, I'll kill your whole family". A new idea in the Epstein saga: A commentator to the article here "The System Isn't Broken, It's Working Exactly As Intended. Why You Hear About Ritualized Sexual Abuse of Children, But No Big Names Ever Go to Jail" https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4327792/posts , shines the spotlight on the calculated depravity at its depth: candidates for high office, including the highest, "willingly commit an unspeakable crime...

The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars. At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave under a push to shed staff, according to documents obtained by POLITICO — potentially spelling trouble for White House space policy and depriving the agency of decades of experience. The 2,145 employees are those in GS-13 to GS-15 positions — senior-level government ranks that are typically reserved for those with specialized skills or management responsibilities. The losses are particularly concentrated at higher levels, with 875 GS-15 employees set to leave, according to the documents. Those...

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday denied Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s request for relief from an Obama-appointed judge’s order blocking enforcement of the state’s anti-illegal immigration laws. Last month, a federal judge held Florida’s Attorney General in contempt of court for enforcing the state’s immigration laws. Uthmeier previously told the corrupt Obama judge that he will not order state authorities to halt enforcement of immigration law. US District Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, issued an injunction claiming Florida’s (state) law violates the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution in response to a lawsuit filed by the anti-American ACLU.

Baylor University voluntarily rescinded a controversial grant that supported research focused on inclusion and belonging in the church, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ individuals, President Linda Livingstone announced in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

The Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation supplied the grant to “better understand the disenfranchisement and exclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals and women within congregations to nurture institutional courage and foster change.” The Baugh...

Far-right MEPs heckled EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen while she called them names in Strasbourg on Monday (7 July), in a failed bid to oust her from her post. The level of shouting and jeering during von der Leyen's speech saw EU Parliament president Roberta Metsola intervene three times to call for quiet. The debate was a small moment of triumph for populist MEPs after a Romanian right-winger, Gheorghe Piperea, tabled a motion of censure against the commission on grounds of von der Leyen's allegedly improper SMS-es with US vaccine-maker Pfizer during Covid. The motion, to be voted...

NEW YORK, July 9 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday overturned the conviction of a social media influencer who used Twitter posts that resembled Hillary Clinton ads to spread false information about the 2016 presidential election and help Donald Trump win. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said no rational jury could have found that Douglass Mackey knowingly agreed to join a conspiracy to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote. It overturned Mackey's March 2023 conviction in Brooklyn and seven-month prison sentence, opens new tab, and ordered an acquittal. A spokesman for U.S....

A growing number of young Ukrainians have been unknowingly recruited by Russian forces as unwilling suicide bombers as the Ukraine-Russia War drags on in its third year, the Guardian reported last week.
