West St. Paul asks homeowner to
paint over Black Lives Matter mural

Original Article

Ryan Weyandt, a West St. Paul resident and founder of LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance, commissioned a vibrant "Black Lives Matter" mural for his wooden fence last summer. Now, after it became something of a local landmark, the city of West St. Paul says it must be removed because it violates code. The mural at the corner of Butler and Smith avenues also bears the beaming face of 2020 mayoral candidate Kimetha "Kae Jae" Johnson.(Snip) There's been backlash, too. Weyandt said he and his husband received verbal harassment "laced with profanity, anti-LGBTQ sentiments and general disapproval" of the mural from one neighbor.

Comments:

I thought it was BLASK TRANS LIVES MATTER. Imagine having such a thing in a residential neighborhood; wall of ugly graffiti.

If any reporter bothered to look up what a " mural " is, they would know that what's on this fence is not it.

They said Black Trans? I thought it was Black Trans-Ams. I guess Camaro aficionados blackmailed them, or whitemailed -- or is that graycist? Don't get me started about 50 Shades of White.

vehicle push to benefit China

President Biden’s push to fill the nation’s roads with electric vehicles would be a boon for China and would increase America’s dependence on the communist power, which dominates the globe in advanced battery production and the mining of rare minerals needed to make those batteries. The White House is working with congressional Democrats to ensure its infrastructure package includes at least $174 billion for “made in America” electric vehicles. At least $40 billion would be used to install 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations across the country.(Snip) China produced 72% of the world’s lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in 2019, and the U.S. accounted for 9%.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were more than 172,000 border stops in March–the most in 20 years–and 20,822 unaccompanied minors are in federal custody.(Snip) Abbott went on to detail steps the White House can take to improve the situation.

It’s widely known that investigators rely on so-called “black boxes” to reconstruct the moments leading up to a catastrophic incident involving an airplane, train or ship, but many drivers don’t know that their own car may be equipped with a similar device.(Snip) In fact, as of 2014, car research site Edmunds found that 96 percent of new cars had an EDR built in. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that an estimated 64% of 2005 passenger vehicles had “some EDR capability.” While the NHTSA proposed making them mandatory in 2014, the devices never became federally required and manufacturers started voluntarily including them.
South African variant can 'break through'
Pfizer vaccine, new study in Israel finds

The mutant South African Covid-19 variant can 'break through' the Pfizer jab, a study has found. Scientists studied 400 people who had tested positive for coronavirus at least 14 days after receiving one or two doses of the jab—and 400 who tested positive with no vaccine. The variant was eight times more prevalent in those who had two jabs than none. It was seen in 5.4 per cent of people with two doses—but 0.7 per cent of people without any. This suggests the vaccine is less effective against the South African variant, compared with the original coronavirus and a variant first identified

The Biden administration will not require “vaccine passports” by law, but stands at the ready to “support” companies who are pursuing the technology, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday. “We don’t view this as the role of the government, to create or mandate any kind of vaccine passport — but these technologies are there,” Buttigieg told CNN’s Jake Tapper when asked whether he supported airlines requiring customers provide vaccination documentation in order to fly. “Private sector is working on them,” Buttigieg said. “We’re interested in following that, providing any kind of technical advice or support where needed.” The transportation secretary said the Biden administration and CDC

Joe Biden may have been something like a moderate, once. As a senator, he defended the Hyde Amendment, which protects pro-life taxpayers from footing the bill for something they consider to be murder. Senator Biden also voted for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in 1993. Even as late as 2003, Biden voted for a bill to prohibit partial-birth and late-term abortion. Biden did indeed work with Republicans to pass legislation. In 1987, Biden condemned Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s scheme to pack the Supreme Court to support the New Deal. Alas, that Joe Biden is nowhere to be found in the White House.

Joe Biden has stepped out to attend Mass amid news that the U.S. is considering sending cash payments to Central America to stem the record-breaking number of migrants illegally crossing the southern border. Biden - who is a devout Catholic - was pictured waving to waiting media after the service at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Washington, DC on Saturday. The President may have been praying for divine intervention as the border crisis deepens, attracting harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats alike. Last month, more than 172,00 migrants were caught coming across the border illegally, including 18,890 unaccompanied minors - the highest number ever recorded.
