    ATLANTA -- In a new report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that LGBTQ people in the US are more likely to have many of the severe underlying health conditions associated with severe disease from COVID-19. However, the agency noted that a lack of data around LGBTQ populations in current COVID-19 surveillance systems is preventing more nuanced examination and assistance to these groups.

    This Liberal snowflake walks into Portland, Oregon store and freaks out over a Confederate Flag the owners have up.

    American Thinker ^ | May 24 2015 | By Malcolm Unwell
    Are you not eagerly anticipating Donald Trump’s announcement about whether he will run for president? This is a serious question, despite all the mockery that is aimed at the real estate mogul. Skepticism about his potential candidacy is understandable, but the tone towards Trump would likely change dramatically were he to announce his candidacy.

    WASHINGTON — No need for a rewrite — or a reweave — of the new rug in the Oval Office. President Barack Obama's spokesman said Tuesday the White House was correct to attribute a famous quotation in the rug's pattern to Martin Luther King Jr., even though the civil rights leader acknowledged being inspired by a 19th-century abolitionist, Thomas Parker. "It was not us that thought he said it, it was many people that believed — rightly so — that he said it," press secretary Robert Gibbs said. The wheat, cream and blue rug, which debuted in the Oval Office...

    Rug News ^ | Easter Sunday. Christ is Risen! | Illustrated by Silly
    Easter weekend saw the unveiling of Pope Benedict XVI's new and astonishing Popemobile. This one actually flies, and, being magic, leaves no carbon footprint. It is, in fact, a rug. Past builders of the always striking vehices, Starachowice of Poland and Mercedes-Benz of Germany, were surprised when they lost their contracts to a small family-owned Pakistani vendor Pazyryk Rugs Plus, which has been weaving "floor covering solutions" for two thousand years. They have recently received negative press in Pakistan for outsourcing their fringe-making to India. But Pope Benedict, an aficionado of textiles and tapestries, and a one-time decorator, was so...

The trial began after all six pleaded not guilty before Municipal Court Judge C. William Bowkley Jr. The state...

    TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran is seeking to revive its carpet industry by weaving the world's biggest rug, weighing in at 35 tonnes. The mammoth rug from the spiritual homeland of Persian carpets will cover almost 6,000 square metres and will fetch some $8.2 million, its makers told Reuters on Saturday. "We will have two working shifts of 1,000 weavers working for 14 months non-stop to deliver the carpet on time," said Karam Reza Haseli, a deputy manager at the state-supported Iranian carpet company. Work is due to start in three months. The carpet has been ordered by the Sheikh Zayed...

    BERNADETTE Chirac, wife of the French president, Jacques Chirac, has been accused in court of illegally taking a 17th century rug from Paris’ city hall to the Elysée Palace. The accusation was made by the Association of Jews Despoiled during the War which brought a lawsuit against Mrs Chirac, saying she illegally removed the rug from the city hall, where her husband was mayor, and took it with her when he became president. The association said Mrs Chirac should face thousands of euros in fines. The organisation says the rug was looted by the Nazis from a Jewish family during...
