An elite Massachusetts liberal arts college has quietly conceded that there was no truth to allegations of racism made by one of their students that 'ruined the lives' of numerous campus workers. Oumou Kanoute was in the canteen at Smith College on July 31, 2018 when she claimed she was profiled for 'eating while black' after a security guard asked her what she was doing. Kanoute posted video of the incident on social media and claimed that she was the victim of racism.(Snip) On the day of the incident, Kanoute, a 21-year-old who was raised in New York after her family emigrated

Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, whose Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign relied on a since-discredited Russia-sourced dossier, is rebooting an unverified Democratic claim that two Republican senators relied on Kremlin disinformation from a Ukrainian politician. Mr. Strzok re-aired the claim in a March 16 tweet. GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin have hotly denied the allegation. They assert that Democrats, not Republicans, injected Ukrainian politician Andriy Derkach‘s name into the investigative record in a probe of Hunter Biden, President Biden‘s son.(Snip) Last week, the director of national intelligence (DNI) released the Intelligence Community Assessment
Hundreds of migrants are waiting in an encampment in Tijuana, Mexico, until they can be processed and potentially released into the United States interior by President Joe Biden’s administration. Photos captured of the encampment show a “Biden for President 2020” flag waving as migrants stay huddled in tents. The photos show the scale to which migrants are sitting in close range to the U.S.-Mexico border in the hopes of being released into the U.S. interior. The Biden administration, as Breitbart News exclusively reported, has ordered federal immigration officials to quickly release border crossers into the U.S. interior without going through standard protocols
Coronavirus variants are continuing to spread across the United States, accounting for more and more cases. California's homegrown variant, known as B.1.427/B.1.429, now makes up more than half of infections in the state and 20 to 40 percent of cases in neighboring states. Meanwhile, the UK variant, known as B.1.1.7, has spread to every single state and makes up nearly one in 10 cases in at least two states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has previously suggested B.1.1.7 would become the dominant strain in the U.S. by March, which so far hasn't turned out to be the case.
Corporate media is lauding Leyna Bloom, the first black and Asian transgender to model in Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue.
“Leyna is legendary in the world of activism, strikingly gorgeous, and has an undeniable sense of self that shines through the minute she walks on set” MJ Day, editor at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, wrote in an Instagram caption. “Her story represents one grounded in resilience and we couldn’t be more thrilled to help her tell it,” Day continued. “Her presence as the first trans woman of color to be in our issue is a result of her lifetime dedication to forging her own path
A man urinated on an Asian woman aboard a Queens-bound subway train over the weekend, cops said Monday. The disgusting act unfolded around 1:30 p.m. Saturday when the creep pulled out his penis on an F train and started to relieve himself, according to police. The horrified woman, who is in her 20s, shifted down the train, but the man then turned and started peeing on the subway seat next to her, splashing her with urine, cops said.(Snip)
“I only said one thing, ‘Are you serious?!’” she recalled. “As I looked around, none of the bystanders said or did anything.”
ICE said Monday it has signed a contract to set up more than 1,200 new detention beds to process migrant families, in a move that expands the agency’s ability to test new arrivals for the coronavirus. Tae Johnson, the acting director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the contract is worth $86.9 million, and it will pay for “temporary shelter and processing services” for families who are not immediately turned back at the border, and who will instead be released into the U.S. The number of such families has been soaring in recent weeks, drawn by changes in immigration policy under the Biden
The richest Americans use crafty methods to dodge taxes on far more income than the feds previously thought, a new study shows. The Internal Revenue Service tries to catch high-income tax evaders with random audits—but they often fail to spot complex schemes that the wealthy employ to hide income, such as offshore bank accounts and pass-through businesses, according to the paper published Monday. In all, the nation’s richest 1 percent fail to report 21 percent of their actual income—and 6 percentage points of that stems from “sophisticated evasion” strategies that federal audits miss, IRS and academic researchers estimate. The bottom 50 percent
As support grows for increasing the number of electric vehicles to reduce air pollution, environmentalists and activists are turning their sights on school buses. Now, the big yellow buses are almost exclusively powered by diesel engines, but that could slowly change. Gov. Phil Murphy included electric school buses when he announced plans last month for the state to help fund $100 million in grants to help towns buy heavy-duty electric vehicles and build charging infrastructure to meet goals to reduce emissions.(Snip) A full-sized 40-foot electric school bus can cost $230,000 to $400,000 per vehicle, two to almost four times the cost

Last week, for the first time in months, Dave Hautman took the plywood off his windows and rolled down new metal shutters to protect the Franklin-Nicollet Liquor Store from potential looters. Though the retractable shutters cost more than $40,000, Hautman figures they will more than pay for themselves. His store was hit by looters twice last year, racking up losses of more than $250,000.(Snip) From small retailers to corporate giants such as Target and Ameriprise, property owners are rushing to take advantage of a new ordinance in Minneapolis that allows them to use retractable metal shutters and roll-up gates to protect
Thousands of Britons rioted into the early hours Monday against plans to give UK police new powers to crackdown on protests—leaving 20 cops injured, including one with a punctured lung, officials said. At least 5,000 people initially joined afternoon protests in Bristol against the planned legislation, BristolLive said, with many carrying placards that condemned a feared “police state” and “dictatorship.” The so-called “Kill the Bill” protests then turned violent when “several thousand” people descended on a police precinct in the southwest England city—sparking a fiery riot raged for hours, the local outlet said. After rioters attempted to push over a police van,

The latest version of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) will be gender-neutral in how performance is measured but will establish separate ranked tier systems for men and women, military officials said Monday as they rolled out the latest tweak to the Army’s physical performance standards.
Army leaders said that both male and female soldiers will be measured on the same numerical scale of 360 to 600, with a 360 score being the minimum threshold. In other words, a man and woman who run a mile in the same amount of time will have their performance measured equally on that point scale,
A woman on her way to massive Manhattan protests against anti-Asian violence became the victim of a hate crime herself when she was punched and bloodied by a man who stomped her sign calling for peace, police said Monday.
The woman was on Astor Place in the East Village when a stranger asked for her sign, which read “Hate Has No Peace,” about 11:35 a.m. Sunday, police said. Protesters were flooding into rallies in Union Square Park and Columbus Park in Chinatown, as shown on the front page of Monday’s Daily News.

No, I hadn't see this news item late last week, about George Bush suddenly not "owing" another president his "silence," in his string of lip-curdling insults directed at President Trump. Guess I don't view him as worth watching much. But sure enough, he had plenty of hateful things to say about President Trump for the left-wing media, and he's the smaller for it.
Here were his three worst whoppers, as cited by Business Insider:
In an interview with the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith, Bush described how watching the January 6 attack "really disturbed" him, both then and now.

Wet A** P*ssy is “the defining song of 2020” according to so-called critics/journalists who make a living fawning over this crap. WAP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 100. For weeks it squatted atop the charts like a sweaty naked fat woman on a toilet.
In “the raunchiest set the Grammy’s have ever seen” that annual television info-award-mercial featured a live performance of WAP. Incompetently acclaimed and shamelessly promoted by those same so-called critics/journalists, the spectacle held all the artistry of a Mexican border town donkey show.

A Department of Justice prosecutor believes that former President Donald Trump could be charged for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. The DOJ federal prosecutor, Michael Sherwin, made the bombshell assertion on 60 Minutes on Sunday.“Has the role of former President Trump been part of your investigation?” Pelley asked. (Tweet/Video) “It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th,” replied Sherwin, making a spurious argument.So does that mean that Trump is “criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Pelley asked.

Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday the Biden administration would release video “footage” of the conditions of the inside of migrant detention facilities to assuage concerns amid its continued refusal to allow members of the press inside.
“Let’s not forget that we’re in the midst of a pandemic and we are focused on our operations, executing our operations in a crowded border patrol facility where hundreds of vulnerable migrant children are located,” Mayorkas said.
WASHINGTON — President Biden’s economic advisers are preparing to recommend spending as much as $3 trillion on a sweeping set of efforts aimed at boosting the economy, reducing carbon emissions and narrowing economic inequality, beginning with a giant infrastructure plan that may be financed in part through tax increases on corporations and the rich.
After months of internal debate, Mr. Biden’s advisers are expected to present a proposal to the president this week that recommends carving his economic agenda into separate legislative pieces, rather than trying to push a mammoth package through Congress, according to people familiar with the plans and documents obtained by The New York Times.
Was This All God's Plan?

Let me be honest from the start of this. I’m not religious. I’m an agnostic. That is, I cannot say with any degree of certainty whether God exists or not. That would be any God, Christian, Muslim, or take your pick. My belief is much like a coin, flipped into the air to land, improbably, on edge and stand there. Perhaps wobbling and teetering a bit, but not ready to take that leap of faith one way or the other.
To me, it seems that deciding to believe that God’s there or not, has to be done without the benefit of convincing evidence for or against
