Scotland Yard officers guarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's have said they are treated 'like skivvies' and forced to do 'menial tasks' like picking up takeaways and groceries, it has been claimed. Highly-trained protection staff have also allegedly been seen buying food from an organic delicatessen, a favourite of Meghan's, and picking up coffees from fast food outlet Tim Hortons. A team of 15 guards has been flown to guard the couple and their nine-month-old son Archie at their secluded Canadian bolthole, after they stood back from royal duties. The Duke and Duchess's security is estimated to cost taxpayers in Canada and the UK

More than a dozen jihadi terrorists are due to be freed early from jail within months, as ministers scramble to introduce emergency legislation to keep them behind bars. The Government has promised new laws in the wake of the broad daylight attack on a south London high street by Sudesh Amman, a convicted terrorist who has been released half way through his sentence just days before. It was the second terrorist onslaught on London by a freed prisoner in just two months. Those set for early release include Jamshed Javeed, a science teacher jailed for six years for trying to join the Islamic State in Syria,
East Lansing — The Wharton Center for Performing Arts gift shop removed a display of dolls depicting black historical figures hanging from a rack resembling a tree following multiple complaints on social media. MSU officials became aware of the "inappropriate and insensitive" display in the gift shop last week and immediately removed it, according to a statement from MSU spokesperson Emily Guerrant. It used a rack resembling a tree to hang felt ornaments resembling Michelle Obama, Barack Obama and Prince.(Snip) "We have work to do, and MSU remains committed to creating a culture that is inclusive and safe for all faculty, staff, students and visitors.
African American people may physically experience pain more intensely than their white and Latinx counterparts due to different activity levels in their brain, a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Miami found that black study participants rated the level of pain they experienced from a heating thermometer up to five-times higher than other participants.(Snip) They found that two things predicted how black people would respond to a white lab attendant in his 30s increasingly inflicting pain upon them (via heat): activity in a brain network involved in the subjective experience of pain, and a history of discrimination.
The Connecticut opera singer who rammed an SUV through security checkpoints at Mar-a-Lago and narrowly escaped Secret Service gunfire will receive mental health treatment. Hannah Roemhild, 30, appeared in court on Monday, where her attorney David Roth described her 'long history' of mental illness and said she had failed to take her medications prior to leading a state trooper on a wild chase through Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday.(Snip) Neighbors from Roemhild's hometown of Middletown, Connecticut have come forward to describe her history of bizarre behavior, saying they feared something like this would happen.

A Los Angeles government program set up to provide cannabis licenses to people harmed by the war on drugs has been plagued by delays, scandal and bureaucratic blunders, costing some intended beneficiaries hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. Black entrepreneurs and activists across LA told the Guardian that the city’s embattled “social equity” program has left aspiring business owners on an indefinite waiting list, causing potentially irreparable damage to their families’ finances and preventing them from opening marijuana shops they have been planning for years.(Snip) Residents would be eligible if they were low-income and had cannabis arrests or convictions on their records,

It’s not easy being a straight male working on Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign in Iowa, judging from the latest Project Veritas undercover sting. In a hidden-camera video released Monday, a man identified as Iowa field organizer Angel Alicea for the Massachusetts senator complained about the office’s emphasis on “identity politics” and trans-inclusive pronouns, adding that he was told by another staffer, “You’re the only straight [person] here.” “It’s just identity politics, and again I get called on it for calling it that, but it’s like, I’m a f–ing brown man,” Mr. Alicea said in the video. “I had to do diversity and inclusion training
Jessica Mann has admitted she was 'manipulative' towards Harvey Weinstein and gave him her phone number five times after he allegedly raped her, during a grueling cross-examination on Monday. The 34-year-old former aspiring actress looked confused and eventually asked to take a break after she took to the witness stand and was peppered with questions by Weinstein's lawyer Donna Rotunno. She said that being manipulative was an 'aspect' of her behavior towards him and that she sent him her new phone number five times after he had allegedly raped her to keep in contact. She also revealed she e-mailed him
Nearly three years after a $255 million state-funded marine terminal opened in Gloucester County, the Port of Paulsboro is still only bringing in steel from Russia and the effort to diversify and increase the cargo may be several years away. The port, maintained by the South Jersey Port Corp, was touted as the first new marine terminal on the Delaware in nearly 50 years when it opened in winter 2017. It was formerly a 190-acre petroleum storage field that had to be cleaned up and redeveloped.(Snip) “I don’t know if there are more than 25 jobs right there right now.
Freshly made pasta is drying on the wooden bannisters lining the hall of a beautiful home in Denver, Colorado. Fox-hunting photos decorate the walls in a room full of books. A fire is burning. And downstairs, a group of liberal white women have gathered around a long wooden table to admit how racist they are. “Recently, I have been driving around, seeing a black person, and having an assumption that they are up to no good,” says Alison Gubser. “Immediately after I am like, that’s no good! This is a human, just doing their thing. Why do I think that?”
Starbucks is brewing up a new environmental plan. After a New York Post investigation showing rampant food waste at company stores across New York City, the coffee shop empire has rolled out a new set of ambitious green goals. “Today, more than ever, the world needs leadership in environmental sustainability,” Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said in a statement last week.(Snip) During a nighttime raid of Starbucks’ trash recently, Sacks, a former investment banker who now works at a waste reduction consultancy, found a small mountain of healthy, unsold food. Many of the sandwiches and snack packages Starbucks employees discarded were still in their original wrapping.

The man shot dead by police in London after a stabbing attack that injured three people Sunday has been identified as an ex-con who served prison time for terrorist offenses—and was released just days earlier. Sudesh Amman, 20—who was shot and killed after the 2 p.m. attack in Streatham in south London—had been let out of lockup a week ago, where he was serving time for charges of disseminating and possession documents containing terrorist information, the BBC reported. He was released after serving only part of his three-year-and-four-month sentence, according to The Guardian.

Longtime influential conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh announced on his show Monday he was diagnosed with "advanced lung cancer," a shocking announcement in which he said he will miss shows for treatment.
“This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming,” Limbaugh said. “I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me… one thing that I know, that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program

Call me Karen, I really don't care, but what I just sat through during the halftime show at the 2020 Super Bowl should never happen again. I want to speak to all the supervisors who let this happen.(Snip for tweet) The FCC still has rules about decency on network television between certain hours when children are watching. It is well established that children are watching during the Super Bowl. I had to send mine out of the room as soon as Jennifer Lopez took the stage in what looked like a two-sided thong and buttless chaps. The camerawork was outrageously gross, zooming in on Lopez's barely covered crotch, so close

The Carters were sitting together a few rows back from the field, and they clearly didn't make an effort to get up during Demi Lovato's performance. A guy who appears to be a bodyguard of theirs was standing though, as was pretty much everyone else around them.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden gave his 19-year-old granddaughter a kiss on the lips during a campaign rally in Iowa on Sunday, prompting some grossed-out responses on social media.The former vice president entered the event at Clarke University in Dubuque holding the hand of Finnegan Biden, the daughter of his son Hunter.“I would like to introduce you to my granddaughter Finnegan Biden. The reason I asked Finnegan — grandfathers are always allowed to embarrass their granddaughters

House Impeachment Manager and House Oversight Chairman Adam Schiff warned Monday that President Donald Trump might give Alaska to the Russians if he is not impeached.
Schiff disagreed with the president’s lawyers, who argued that Trump’s actions were not criminal and should thus not be considered impeachable.
He warned that they were setting a precedent that would only encourage Trump to pursue “unacceptable” actions if exonerated.
“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election,” he said. “Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago personally and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.”
If Steve Bannon is correct (and I think he probably is), Michael Bloomberg has no intention of occupying the Oval Office; his real plan is far more devious and frightening. Bloomberg is investing a small fraction of his fortune (Bannon says it is now $70 billion) in a “leveraged buyout” of the party, installing himself as the oligarch who calls the shots, including the selection of the candidate to win the presidency.
Forget the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the “Mike will get it done” ads saturating the airwaves and the Super Bowl ad touting gun control.
Tax season kicks off

with IRS short on staff 24 replies
Tax season kicked off Monday, and the biggest question on most taxpayers’ minds is how quickly they will get their refunds. Receiving a refund can normally take up to six weeks, but staffing issues at the agency might make that turnaround time much longer.
Customer service is a big part of making tax seasons successful, and the Internal Revenue Service is one of the lowest-scoring agencies in that area, according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service annual report to Congress for 2019.
Budget cuts are a contributing factor to the IRS’s poor customer service — it's harder to garner more hires with less money. Agency head count has fallen by 20%

Presidential candidate Joe Biden recently snapped under questioning about his son’s business dealings in Ukraine. On Monday, he defended his son Hunter’s former board position at Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian energy company, by claiming he got the job because he is a “very bright guy.”The former vice president went on to say, “no one’s found anything wrong with his dealings in Ukraine except it was a bad image.” When pressed whether or not the 2020 hopeful agreed about the perception, however, Biden was quick to attack.

Nobody elected John Bolton to anything.
That reality is at the core of what appeared to frustrate Mr. Bolton and numerous other senior presidential aides during my time working in the West Wing for President Trump.
As a staffer, if you have a policy disagreement with the president, you have two options: You either subordinate your views to his and fulfill his wishes — or you quit. That does not mean you shy away from making your case behind closed doors — and in my experience the president encouraged dissenting views — but once the president makes a decision, it is your job to execute it
Liberal billionaire Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is whipping out ridiculous amounts of cash to beat President Donald Trump in November. Recent Federal Election Commission records revealed that the campaign for the billionaire owner of Bloomberg News had spent over a whopping $180 million just in the first month of his candidacy, CNBC reported Jan. 31. “Bloomberg spent more during that month than any of his individual Democratic rivals have raised in total during the cycle,” [emphasis added], CNBC said. Bloomberg had also personally contributed over $200 million to his own campaign.
