Donald Trump Backs Up Herschel Walker as Georgia Candidate ‘Being Slandered and Maligned’ WENDELL HUSEB Ø4 Oct 2022 Former President Donald Trump maintained his ardent support for Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker on Tuesday after he was anonymously accused of paying for an abortion in 2009, a claim Walker has denied as a scare tactic and a “flat-out lie.” “Herschel has properly denied the charges against him, and I have no doubt he is correct. They are trying to destroy a man who has true greatness in his future, just as he had athletic greatness in his past,” Trump said...

You reach Harvard University's biological anthropology department by climbing five flights of fusty wooden stairs in the Peabody Museum in Cambridge, Mass. It's an old building, haunted by the remnants of long lost tribes and the ghosts of an era when anthropologists thought nothing of collecting the paraphernalia of ancestor worship, not to mention the bones of the ancestors themselves. But it's not bones that have brought me to the Peabody today. I've made the climb to meet Carole Hooven, a young graduate student in biological anthropology, and Richard Wrangham, one of the world's leading experts on chimpanzee behavior. They...

The National Football League's new domestic violence policy will be tested just three days after it was implemented by Commissioner Roger Goodell. San Jose, California, police arrested the San Francisco 49ers' starting defensive end Ray McDonald on Sunday on felony domestic violence charges. Police say they responded at 2:48 a.m. to a reported incident...

It's looking likely that San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón will file misdemeanor domestic violence charges against newly sworn-in Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. Prosecutors are "convinced this is very real," said a source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation. The case stems from a New Year's Eve incident in which Mirkarimi allegedly grabbed his wife - former Venezuelan telenovela star Eliana Lopez - with enough force to leave a bruise. Lopez has said publicly that she has no complaint against her husband and that the incident had been taken "out of context." Mirkarimi's attorney, Robert Waggener, said Tuesday that the sheriff...

Police racial slur scandal indicative of larger problem We have already forgotten the "Arabushim" (derogatory term for Arabs) scandal that occurred here two weeks ago - that's the nature of racism that hinges on self inflicted senility and the ease of sweeping it under the rug. For those who need a reminder: A police officer used the term "Arabushim" in referring to Arab participants in a rally in Umm el-Fahm. The message, sent out just before the rally, said "15,000 Arabushim have so far arrived at the rally." The police officer was dismissed and al-Quds was redeemed, because now the...

'This is not just about cartoons, but standing up for our values' From Anthony Browne, in Copenhagen THE Danish editor who brought the fury of the Muslim world on his country by printing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad defiantly declared yesterday: “We do not apologise for printing the cartoons. It was our right to do so.” As protests continued for a second day in Gaza with shouts of “Death to Denmark”, Flemming Rose, the culture editor of the centre-right daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten, sat in his book-lined office declaring his surprise at the reaction. He said that he had to stand...

Can wife-beating be justified under any circumstances? According to some in Australia, yes — if the couple is Muslim. The Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau has published and distributed 50,000 copies of an 82-page handbook for Australian police officers, directing them on how to deal with people from all the unfamiliar cultures that an Australian policeman may encounter. A Sikh, for example, may receive a three-day reprieve from arrest if the arresting officer happens upon him while he is reading his holy scriptures — a practice that takes fifty hours, and must not be interrupted. And Muslim husbands who beat...

I spent two days recently in the Circuit Court for Macon County, North Carolina, waiting to be a witness. The Bailiff called people to order, “This is a Court. Tuck in your shirt.” It’s an indication of folks hereabouts that half the males stood up and tucked in their shirts. At the end of this I have a suggestion for y’all. Here’s what I saw in this Court. First, of a total of more than 200 people, only two non-lawyers were wearing suits and ties. Maybe elsewhere, folks put on their best duds to go to court, but not in...

Hanover, Penn., – Moral values are being undermined at 30 Catholic colleges during the weeks surrounding St. Valentine’s day. In fact, many students are afflicted by a play called “The V***** Monologues,” which is scheduled to be held on Catholic campuses throughout the country. (Asterisks added for the sake of modesty). TFP Student Action – a conservative organization of Catholic inspiration – is opposing the play, urging its members on 375 campuses to protest. According to the group’s web site: “In one scene, a woman describes her seduction by a lesbian woman when she was 16 years old, declaring it...

Anti-abortion demonstrators march through Washington U.S. president plays cheerleader in chief`This movement will not fail,' he tells them WASHINGTON—Abortion demonstrators marched though chilly Washington yesterday, emboldened by Republican election gains they said gave new momentum to their 32-year fight to overturn Roe v. Wade. U.S. President George W. Bush told them by phone, "This movement will not fail." Protest leaders said stronger Republican majorities in both houses of Congress and Bush's re-election reflect the public's support for more restrictions on abortion. Chief Justice William Rehnquist's battle with thyroid cancer injected a sense of urgency into this year's demonstrations, nearly guaranteeing...

YAKIMA, Wash. -- Three horses died in the first of four races at this year's annual Omak Stampede rodeo in far north-central Washington, which culminates each night with a horse race down a steep slope. The so-called Suicide Race, begun in 1935, has been criticized for years by animal welfare groups. Twenty riders plunge down a 62-degree hill, cross the Okanogan River and race into the grandstand arena. A number of horses have been killed or injured in the race and practice sessions over the years. During Thursday's race, one horse in the middle of the pack stumbled into another...

'Playmakers' drawing ire across the NFL JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It's 30 minutes before kickoff and star running back Demetrius Harris is in the 'hood getting a quick fix. He makes it to the stadium on time, high on cocaine, and rushes for 147 yards while leading the Cougars to a victory. Reality? Nope, a scene from ESPN's new series "Playmakers," about a fictional professional football team. The owner is a ruthless tyrant, the coach has a serious illness and the team doctor will lie when pressured by management. Harris is on drugs and his veteran backup...

This is domestic violence awareness month. Even though women are responsible for comparable amounts of domestic violence incidents against men, why is everyone only focusing on violence against women? In Maine, police discover males hiding in closets and under beds. The officers have responded to domestic violence cases when they come upon such finds. In many instances, the police report, the males are hidden by females they've beaten. Sick. In one case, Lewiston officers, doing a routine check, opened an apartment door to hear a male yell, "I thought I was safe. You guys always come on Mondays." Sick. Some...
