Bubba Wallace, NASCAR's only black driver, believes it is time for the stock car circuit to finally ban the Confederate flag from its events. 'No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race,' the 26-year-old Alabama native told CNN on Monday. 'So it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of here. They have no place for them.' Wallace was speaking following Sunday's race Atlanta in which he wore an 'I Can't Breathe' shirt during the national anthem in a reference to the recent killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man, by Minneapolis police.

Mayor Martin Walsh is declaring racism a public health crisis and is aiming to transfer $12 million from the police overtime budget to help put his order in motion immediately. Walsh said Friday there is a “new urgency” to erase racism in the city and added Boston’s budget for the coming year will reallocate roughly 20% of the police OT allotment to programs for youth and other needs. That will start with $3 million for the Boston Public Health Commission. A new task force, chaired by former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Wayne Budd, will also review police force policies and equity issues in the department.
The Trump administration on Friday finalized a regulation that defines gender as a person’s biological sex, reversing an Obama-era rule aimed at protecting transgender people against sex discrimination in health care.

The policy shift was long sought by religious and social conservatives. The Obama administration’s regulation defined gender as a person’s internal sense of being male, female, neither or a combination.(Snip) LGBTQ groups say explicit protections are needed for people seeking sex-reassignment treatment, and even for transgender

A Manhattan judge set free an alleged looter charged with bashing a cop’s head open with a glass bong swiped amid violent protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd, The Post has learned.

A date for reopening New Jersey malls has not been announced by Gov. Phil Murphy and a group of mayors is pressing him on why. The mayors of Bridgewater, Elizabeth, Paramus, Wayne and Woodbridge sent a letter to Murphy this week requesting a quicker reopening of malls in their towns. “Willowbrook Mall is the largest taxpayer in our community and having them closed for so long is hurting our economy severely,” Wayne Mayor Chris Vergano said in the letter.

Pow Wow Grounds is well known for its wild rice soup and Indian tacos.

The Problem with George Will

George Will's a funny guy. He is willing to aid our ideological foes for our own good. He will teach us how wrong we've been to support President Trump by facilitating Marxist socialism's stranglehold on what's left of America's Constitution. After fighting for Democrats to win everything this November, he will turn around and help us rebuild a Republican Party in his image for the miserable decades to come.
When we voted for Donald Trump in 2016, weren't we rebelling against not only Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but also the shriveled and putrid corpse of a Grand Old Party that had long since given up being grand

The Post Millennial editor-at-large Andy Ngo told "The Story" Thursday that it was "hard for me to overstate the anarchy that is on the streets" of Seattle following the establishment of an "autonomous zone" by anti-police protesters in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood earlier this week.
"You have here a group of several hundred people who have laid siege to a territory and have claimed it as a separate political entity from the United States," Ngo told host Martha MacCallum.

Retired four-star military officers who lambasted President Trump could be recalled to active duty and prosecuted for violating the U.S. Code, military law experts told Just the News.
“Retired officers can't make contemptuous remarks of the commander-in-chief,” said John Dowd, a former Marine Corps Judge Advocate and former Trump legal advisor. “They’re all subject to recall. They’re subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice until they die.”
The pertinent law is Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Section 888, the experts said.
“As part of the UCMJ, governing military law, you cannot use contemptuous words against certain officials, including the president,”
