CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Thursday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that voters will remember President Joe Biden calling Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi “the president of Mexico” in a press conference where he was addressing his age and memory after Special Counsel Robert Hur decided not to charge the president for keeping classified documents. Hur said Biden was an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Toobin said, “Mexico? Mexico? Where did that come from? I mean, that’s the only thing anyone is going to remember from this. You know, he was exonerated here, and I think it’s an easy...

I became a climate activist 16 years ago. Back then, not many people cared about climate change. The eye rolls were audible. Media coverage was scarce, and what little there was glibly included “both sides”. It was frustrating and tragic to see such a clear and present danger and to know that it was still mostly avoidable, yet ignored by society. I assumed that intensifying, in-your-face climate disasters would serve as a sort of backstop to finally force action. I even hoped that humanity would listen to scientists and start acting before things got that bad. I didn’t think this...

"The man whose personal pronouns are “slippery when wet” and whose name became a verb after he was caught on an October 19, 2020, WORK Zoom call with WNYC radio and New Yorker staffers ‘taking a trip to palmdale’, Jeffrey Toobin has quit FakeNewsCNN after two decades of lying about Conservative Republican Patriots in general and years of doing so about President Donald Trump specifically. Some are taking part of his announcement (specifically “Oklahoma City bombing, coming in 2023”) as a threat and with many people in Oklahoma City covering things in tarps it is beginning to resemble the front...

LONDON (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization has slammed the global community for its focus on the war in Ukraine, arguing that crises elsewhere, including in his home country of Ethiopia, are not being given equal consideration, possibly because those suffering are not white. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus questioned “if the world really gives equal attention to black and white lives,” given that the ongoing emergencies in Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Syria have garnered only a “fraction” of the global concern for Ukraine. He was speaking in a virtual press briefing from Geneva on Wednesday. Last...

“ Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) which was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur? It was shot down on July 17, 2014, while flying over Eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Immediately the US accused Russia and then imposed sanctions on them. It was shot down by the Ukrainian Nazis with an old Russian missile that Russia was no longer using. They did so trying to get the US to enter their revolution against Russians living there in Donestk. Why has Zelensky refused to allow those people to vote? Russia had no...

Shane Warne, one of cricket's all-time greats, has died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 in Koh Samui, Thailand, while on holiday. Warne, who was named one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Century, claimed 708 Test wickets in a 15-year career for Australia between 1992 and 2007, and was also an ODI World Cup winner in 1999. According to his manager Michael Cohen, he died of a suspected heart attack. "Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived," Cohen's statement read. "The family...

Paris (AFP) – British singer Sting is back at the age of 70 with a hopeful new album, though he admits he sees a lot to worry him in the world right now. "I think we're in a very dangerous political climate at the moment where the working class have felt abandoned by what they call the elite," he told AFP on a recent trip to Paris. "It has left them vulnerable to demagogues, to right-wing nonsense, fakes, snake oil salesmen." For the famously mild-mannered rock star, real name Gordon Sumner, the attacks on his liberal way of life have...

Judge Bruce Schroeder on Wednesday laid into legal analysts on left-wing network CNN, including chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin — whom he mentioned by name, over their “obvious” ignorance of the law. Schroeder, overseeing the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, commented on the media for a second time since the trial started Monday. “I’m going to comment about the media — again,” the judge said, noting that a talking head called the case the “most divisive case in the country to date,” Law & Crime reported. “So, anything that undermines public confidence in what happens here is very important,” Schroeder continued....

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A Kenosha pastor is fasting for climate change. The Rev. Jonathan Barker, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, stopped eating on Saturday and said he will continue the protest until Congress passes a climate bill. Democrats pushed a $3.5 trillion, 10-year bill through the House Budget Committee that strengthens social safety net and climate programs. The measure is a “once-in-species-moment,” Barker said. “As a Christian, I am called to be on the side of love for neighbor,” Barker said. “Love for neighbor means making sure my neighbor has a livable future, a family-sustaining green job, clean air...
