After another fatal police shooting in Minneapolis, the community is reaching breaking point.
The police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb on Sunday meant to fire her taser, according to a statement from officials on Monday.
“It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet,” Brooklyn Center Police Department Chief Tim Gannon said of the shooting on Sunday. “This appears to me, from what I viewed, and the officer’s reaction and distress immediately after, that this was an accidental discharge that…
We can’t censor political speech, we can’t raise the corporate tax rate, and the Green New Deal won’t work.
The developing world over, deforestation is still a major concern. Though it has fallen out of fashion, deforestation remains one of most serious problems faced by the environmental movement.
Some environmentalists have even decried the extinction earth crowd for distracting from some of the most pressing, immediate, and obvious, environmental problems the world is facing right now- not in ten years- like the destruction of wildlife habitats, ocean pollution and single use plastics.
Dealing with deforestation, not to mention habitat loss…
The wealth gap between the top 0.01% and the rest of us is incomprehensible.
If you were educated in the U.S. public school system anytime prior to the last decade, and probably anywhere else on Earth for that matter, you were likely shown a physical model of our solar system at some point.
Who can forget it?
The sun in the middle, Earth in the third orbit, it’s orbiting moon- all very orderly; the planets, rendered in carefully painted paper mache, their orbits, humble wire or string.
Only scientists had gotten it all wrong. For one thing, they were wrong…
Sure, the controversial drop of the Nike “satan shoes” was great for ad clicks…for about a minute. What happens to Lil Nas X now?
What seemed at first to confirm every religious conservative’s worst nightmare about the U.S. entertainment media industry, and thus couldn’t possibly be true, turned out to be only too true last week.
Lil Nas X- ingenue, budding cross-over pop star, erstwhile country singer of the hit single “Old Town Road”, released a limited edition Nike sneaker called the “satan shoes”.
Limited to a run of only 666 pairs, and advertised as containing a bronze pentacle, an…
This seeming departure for the Biden Administration does not betray progressive principles; it preserves them.
News that the Biden Administration is considering restarting construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall to fill “gaps” that were left when construction was halted has not been met with universal approval from the left.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that the administration was considering finishing “gaps in the wall” during a conversation with ICE employees last week, The Washington Times reported.
“It’s not a single answer to a single question. There are different projects that the chief of the Border…
They might be our ticket back to pre-Covid normal. Or they might be “literally the end of human liberty in the West.”
Vaccine passports have become all the rage lately among those who are sick of Covid and ready to get back to normal. Fans of vaccine passports point out, rightly, that even though a vaccine is now available, and will soon be accessible to everyone according to the Biden Administration, not everyone will get the vaccine.
Those unvaccinated people can still spread Covid. As such, it might be helpful to know- without relying on the honor system as humanity…
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the least effective member of the House; she is the most potentially effective lawmaker Americans have ever elected.
“She’s the queen of Twitter- but less successful at lawmaking,” crowed the New York Post at the news that a nonpartisan analysis of the U.S. House of Representatives found Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) one of the least effective members in Congress.
The Center for Effective Lawmaking concluded that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has proposed only 21 “substantive” bills, none of which have made it out of committee. No piece of legislation drafted by AOC has reached the House floor…
Florida Democrats are defending Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis after a heavily edited 60 Minutes interview accused him of running a “pay for play” vaccine rollout scheme with Publix.
CBS News’ 60 Minutes has received wide criticism after a recent report alleging that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis chose Publix to partner with the state for the vaccine rollout due to donations the company made to his political action committee.
The aired 60 Minutes report shows CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi pressing the governor over a $100,000 Publix donation made to his campaign, insinuating he, “rewarded them with the exclusive rights to…
An independent legal analysis found the Chinese Communist Party in direct violation of every single provision of the UN Genocide convention.
Chinese Communist Party authorities are detaining Christians in secret facilities and forcing them to renounce their faith or face being tortured for months, according to a Radio Free Asia (RFA) report published last week.
“A member of a Christian ‘house church’ in the southwestern province of Sichuan who asked to be identified by a pseudonym Li Yuese said he was held in a facility run by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s United Front Work Department, working in tandem…
This holy Jewish season of Passover has been marred by a sobering report on antisemitic assaults and another deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The U.S. Anti-Defamation League, long committed to civil rights issues and an outspoken champion of the American Jewish community against antisemitism, recently conducted a survey, the results of which might not surprise many Jews in America.
But it might come as a surprise to others.
According to the ADL’s survey of 500 people, conducted March 31, 2021, 10% of American Jews report being the victim of an antisemitic assault in the past five years.
In the…
