FORT WORTH, Texas - A former Whataburger employee is filing a discrimination complaint against the fast food company after she says she was told her Black Lives Matter mask was inappropriate for work. The employee says she’d worn the mask to work before, but she says it didn’t become a problem until a customer complained and threatened to notify corporate. Makiya Congious says she was told her BLM mask was inappropriate for work after a customer complained at the Whataburger on Brentwood Stair Road in Fort Worth in August.

Who cares about Trump’s tax returns?
32 replies
Is anyone really surprised that Donald Trump’s tax affairs are opaque? Or that he is not as rich as he claims? Is it really all that horrifying that he has for years claimed business losses in order to offset his significant income tax liability? Does it appall us that the Trump family used a Delaware-based consulting group to pay themselves?
Of course not.
The New York Times’s big Trump tax files splash on Sunday is therefore something of a flop. It is well-timed — an election is fast-approaching and the story might give Biden a good attack line in the big TV debate on Tuesday night.
Although the name may suggest otherwise, Parkinson's disease is not one but two diseases, starting either in the brain or in the intestines. Which explains why patients with Parkinson's describe widely differing symptoms, and points towards personalised medicine as the way forward for people with Parkinson's disease.
This is the conclusion of a study which has just been published in the leading neurology journal Brain. The researchers behind the study are Professor Per Borghammer and Medical Doctor Jacob Horsager from the Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
James Hamblin is tired of being asked if he's smelly.
Hamblin, a physician and health reporter, has been fielding the question since 2016, when the article he wrote about his decision to stop showering went viral. The piece outlines compelling reasons why one might want to spend less time sudsing up: Cosmetic products are expensive, showering uses a lot of water, and the whole process takes up valuable time.
Perhaps most importantly, bathing disrupts our skin's microbiome: the delicate ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, mites and viruses that live on (and in) our body's largest organ. Most of these microbes are thought to be benign freeloaders; they feast on our sweat
Why should anyone believe James Comey?
8 replies
Fired FBI Director James Comey is having another moment in the spotlight with the premiere of a new movie, The Comey Rule, on Showtime. The makers fought to have the picture air before the November 3 election, in hopes that it would become "part of the conversation" when the nation votes. By that, they mean they hope it will contribute to President Trump's defeat.
As it turns out, there is a more compelling portrait of Comey out at the same time, one that, perhaps unwittingly, casts serious doubt on the credibility of Comey's carefully planned campaign against Trump in the first half of 2017.
Joe Biden, the father of 'Borking'
11 replies
Supreme Court nomination hearings have gone from serene to savage, thanks largely to Joe Biden.
As head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he presided over the infamous Robert Bork hearings. His smearing of Bork for his original-intent judicial philosophy transformed hearings for Supreme Court nominees into bloody ideological battles. Henceforth, all conservative nominees were subjected to “Borking.”
Brutal to Bork from the start, Biden treated him not as a serious judge but as a stooge for what Biden called the “Reagan-Meese” agenda. Biden’s transparently unfair treatment of Bork was so bad even The Washington Post editorialized against Biden at the time:
Bill Murray’s commercial for his William Murray line of golf clothing uses the Doobie Brothers’ hit “Listen to the Music,” but there seems to be one major problem: according to an attorney for the band, the actor never sought permission to do so.
As The New York Times reports, lawyer Peter T. Paterno sent Murray a letter on behalf of the Doobies urging him to pay up for using the song — and it doesn’t pull any punches. “It’s a fine song. I know you agree because you keep using it in ads for your Zero Hucks Given golf shirts,” the letter begins.
Evangelist Franklin Graham is leading a prayer march Saturday in Washington, D.C. that will seek God's healing for a nation in crisis.
"I think our country is in trouble, and Democrats will tell you that, Republicans will tell you that. ... We're coming today to call upon the name of God, because I believe only God can fix the problems that we face in this nation today," Graham said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" ahead of the march. Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse and the son of the late Billy Graham, organized the 1.8-mile Washington Prayer March 2020, which starts at the Lincoln Memorial
You, Too, Can Break the Sound Barrier

You sit in London Airport at one o'clock and eat a leisurely lunch of roast English beef and Yorkshire pudding; soon, your flight is called. You enter a long, pencil-slim fuselage. You buckle your seat belt. After 15 minutes-and 140 miles-of flight, you pass through the sound barrier, although you hear nothing. And, since the engine noise never catches up with you, you cruise silently 12 miles above the Atlantic; each second, you travel nearly half a mile.
The globe is barely visible; the whole sky is a deep but delicate purple, a Concorde sky. Before long, you are landing in New York;
Without fail, Wisconsin remains one of the drunkest places in America. The beer-and-brandy soaked state consistently leads or places among the top contenders in America’s Drunkest States round-ups, and this past January, the Badger State clocked in with 12 of the top 20 entries of the Nation’s Drunkest Cities as compiled by 24/7 Wall Street. Overconsumption of alcohol is a serious matter and can be problematic on many fronts, and most states might try to quickly bury such headlines from the daily news cycle, but Wisconsinites wear this black eye like a badge of honor after a bar fight.
“Drinking is part of the state identity.
Well, son of a bitch. It turns out that there was plenty of concern within the Obama-Biden administration in respect of the dealings of the Vice President’s son, Hunter, in Ukraine. Not to mention the younger Biden’s dealings with Communist Chinese nationals. The tale is outlined in the new report released today by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Finance Committee, chaired by Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Charles Grassley of Iowa.
Forgive our French, but we use the ripe language above to circle back to our editorial “‘Well, Son of a Bitch’: Ukraine Scandal Is About Biden.” We issued that editorial a year ago, as House Democrats were getting themselves
It may not look like it to the casual observer, but bull riding is a sort of dance. A good ride appears as one fluid motion of a rider in sync with a bucking ton of hoof, hide, and horn. It’s a lightning-fast choreography that’s as dangerous as it is beautiful. The basics of the sport are simple: hang on with one hand, keep the other hand free, and try to stay on for eight seconds. But actually doing all three, well, that ain’t so easy. Professional bull riders have to train both their bodies and minds to excel at this injury-prone sport.

Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee said they will not meet with Amy Coney Barrett -- President Trump’s pick to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Trump announced on Saturday evening that he intends to nominate Barrett to fill the vacancy on the nation’s highest court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week. Democrats indicated that they will oppose Barrett’s nomination, citing her conservative credentials which they see as a threat to health care and abortion rights, while also arguing that it is too close to Election Day for Trump to nominate a justice.
Tom Ridge, a former Republican governor of Pennsylvania and first U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, plans to vote for Trump’s Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, he announced on social media Sunday morning. This also will be the first time Ridge has ever voted Democratic in a U.S. presidential election, he told The Philadelphia Inquirer in an opinion column. “It’s time to put country over party. It’s time to dismiss Donald Trump,” he posted on Twitter.(Snip) Ridge currently serves as the chairman of Ridge Global, which provides clients with solutions to cyber security, international security and risk management issues. After 9/11, he became
Retired WWE wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson made his first-ever presidential endorsement on Sunday during a virtual seven-minute chat with Democrat Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris. 'I've voted for Democrats in the past and as well as Republican,' the 48-year-old 'political independent and centrist'—who boasts 306.4M social media followers—wrote.
'In this critical election, I believe Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the best to lead our country, and...I proudly endorse them for the presidential office of our United States. Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, grit, kindness and respect. Being kind and respectful
This is not the kind of big news you want to get on an otherwise slow Sunday morning, but here it is. Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo is reporting this morning that there will be no Durham interim report or indictments coming before the election. By the wording, she may actually be saying there’s no report coming at all.If true, this is a travesty of justice of the highest order given what has transpired the last five years.(Tweet) This isn’t someone leaking to the Times to cover their backside. Bartiromo is typically solid and is not anti-Trump in the least.Whether or not you believe this news will probably depend

Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris called Tupac Shakur the “best rapper alive” during an interview at the NAACP’s virtual convention Friday — even though the legendary emcee has been dead for more than two decades.
“Best rapper alive?” CNN commentator Angela Rye asked the Oakland native.
“Tupac,” Harris answered with little hesitation before Rye reminded her that the West Coast icon had passed away long ago.
“Not alive, I know, I keep doing that,” Harris said with a laugh.
Which Biden Shows Up Tuesday?
39 replies
If this is the most important election in decades, this is its most important moment. Thus far, this campaign has been a referendum on Trump; Tuesday’s debate will be one on Biden. Its outcome depends on which Biden shows up. Like all races with a president seeking re-election, this one has centered on the incumbent. Thanks to a hostile media and Trump’s aggressive use of social media, America has had plenty of material for judgement. Topping it off, 2020 has been an acutely tumultuous year: Beginning with an impeachment trial and now a contentious Supreme Court vacancy — with a pandemic, a recession, and nationwide violence in between.
Jill Biden, the wife of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, said her husband is "ready" to face Donald Trump in the first presidential debate this week and accused the President of trying to distract with smears during the tense campaign. (Photo) "He's ready. One of the things I'm excited for is when the American people see Joe Biden up there on that stage," Jill Biden told CNN's Jake Tapper in a one-on-one interview that aired Sunday on "State of the Union." "They're going to see what a president looks like.
A Boston University president who said President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee was a racist ‘white colonizer’ for adopting two black children from Haiti and using them as ‘props’ while ‘cutting the biological parents out of the picture’ is being urged to resign on Sunday.The controversial charge was leveled at Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday by Ibram X. Kendi, a Boston University professor.‘Some White colonizers “adopted” Black children,’ Kendi wrote on Twitter.‘They “civilized” these “savage” children in the “superior” ways of White people while using them as props
A ballot-harvesting racket in Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis district—where paid workers illegally gather absentee ballots from elderly Somali immigrants—has been busted by undercover news organization Project Veritas. One alleged ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, the brother of Minneapolis city council member Jamal Osman, is shown in a bombshell Snapchat video rifling through piles of ballots strewn across his dashboard.
“Just today we got 300 for Jamal Osman,” says Mohamed, aka KingLiban1, in the video. “I have 300 ballots in my car right now…(Snip) The alleged involvement of Ilhan Omar, a controversial member of the Squad, and frequent Trump target, is claimed on camera
Some Democrats are starting to call on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, to recuse herself from any role in determining November’s election results.
“I certainly wish she would, it would help matters. And it would evidence the fact that she wants to be fair in addressing this,” Sen. Dick Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said on ABC News.
“This president has been outspoken and outrageous, to think that he would not verdict of the election and that he would make it clear that he’s filling this vacancy on the Supreme Court to make sure it tips his way if there’s any election contest, that is an outrage.
Sen. Kamala Harris ripped President Trump's Supreme Court pick in a searing statement, setting up a showdown between the 2020 Democratic vice presidential nominee and Judge Amy Coney Barrett when she appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee next month.“Just yesterday, I paid my respects to the legendary Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who devoted her life to fighting for Equal Justice Under Law and a more fair and just world," Harris wrote Saturday. "Her passing is devastating, and it would be a travesty to replace her with a justice who is being selected to undo her legacy and erase everything she did for our country."

Is anyone really surprised that Donald Trump’s tax affairs are opaque? Or that he is not as rich as he claims?

I can't post the Star-Telegram front page writeup because of a paywall, but further info from that article is that she asked about quitting and giving 2 weeks notice. She was told she should leave right now and would be paid those two weeks. The ensuing yah-yah resulted in the police being called.
