A first of its kind, LEGO is releasing their first ever LGBTQ-themed set titled, ‘Everyone is Awesome.’ The 346-piece set, which will be released at the beginning of June for Pride Month, contains 11 figures, each with an assigned rainbow color. “I wanted to create a model that symbolizes inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love,” the set’s designer, Matthew Ashton, said in a statement Thursday.
Ashton said the set was also a celebration of the LGBTQ community within Lego and among the company’s adult fans. “I am fortunate to be a part of a proud, supportive and passionate
President Biden on Thursday endorsed an Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—while vowing the US would help rebuild Gaza and restock Israel’s missile defense system. Biden condemned the militant group Hamas and said he spoke six times during the two-week conflict with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—two times more than was publicly known.(Snip)
Biden also said the US would help replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which shot down many rockets fired from Gaza. “I extend my sincere gratitude to President el-Sisi and the senior Egyptian officials who plays such a critical role in this diplomacy,” Biden said.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday spoke to Jordanian King Abdullah II on behalf of President Biden to brief him on US efforts to support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Biden has not spoken with the Arab nation’s leader since Hamas began firing rockets last week from Gaza into Israel following clashes in Jerusalem. “I spoke with Jordan King Abdullah II to reaffirm our support and express our commitment to continued close cooperation,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “I briefed him on our intensive diplomatic efforts to support the path to a ceasefire in Gaza. The U.S. and Jordan will continue working to deescalate tensions.”

A 38-year-old homeless man has been busted for the vicious Hell’s Kitchen hate crime in which a chunk of the victim’s finger was bitten off, police said Thursday. Lloyd Revell was picked up early Thursday at the Skyline Hotel on 10th Ave. where homeless have been staying during the pandemic.
The victim, Youya Hua, 48, was walking along W. 43rd St. Tuesday morning, cup of coffee in hand, when he was attacked, said one of his sons. Hua was punched in the face, the son said, and a small chunk was torn from his middle finger when the suspect bit him. “Go back to your country,”
The husband of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was allegedly peddling cocaine as part of a “mid-level” drug ring in the city, officials said Thursday.
New York State Police took Timothy Granison into custody Wednesday evening after executing a search warrant at a home on Woodman Park that the 42-year-old shares with Warren and their daughter. Granison pleaded not guilty Thursday morning to two counts of felony drug possession charges, including intent to sell, and a felony count of gun possession, the Rochester City Newspaper reported. Court documents allege Granison had 31 grams of coke and an unregistered firearm in the house,
Tennessee lawmakers have accused President Joe Biden's administration of secretly flying migrant children into their state without consulting them–as Kamala Harris faces growing pressure to visit the southern border to address the crisis. Several videos obtained by WRCB-TV Channel 3 show a handful of planes carrying minor migrants arriving at Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center during overnight hours. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a statement the transportation of migrants there is taking place in 'the dead of night without the knowledge or permission of the communities involved.'
A source with direct knowledge of the operation revealed somewhere up to 50 minors are transported
A parents-rights group has filed a federal complaint accusing a Massachusetts school district of engaging in racial discrimination by banning White students from an event on hate crimes against Asian Americans.
Parents Defending Education asked the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights to investigate the Wellesley Public Schools for an alleged Zoom session described as a “Healing Space for Asian and Asian American students (grades 6-12), faculty/staff, and others in the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community who wish to process recent events.”(Snip)“If you identify as White, and need help to process recent events, please know I’m here for you
A man punched a 75-year-old woman in the face in an unprovoked attack as she got off a Queens bus, cops said early Thursday.

With much of New York allowed to fully reopen for business Wednesday—and relaxed CDC rules for vaccinated people at indoor venues going into effect—residents may soon find themselves having to provide proof of inoculation or a negative COVID-19 test to gain entry to events or businesses. While many other states have balked at the idea of so-called “vaccine passports,” the Empire State has already rolled out a platform called the Excelsior Pass that’s being used at big events here, like Yankees and Knicks games.(Snip) Businesses and venues requiring proof of vaccination or negative test results can scan and validate the QR code

Jill Biden said Kamala Harris should “go [expletive]” herself after famously questioning her husband’s record on race during a Democratic primary debate, according to new report. The future first lady fumed to supporters after Harris, who is now President Biden’s vice president, slammed his record opposing federally mandated interracial busing to desegregate schools.
“That little girl was me!” Harris told Biden in one of the most cutting moments of the Democratic primary. Jill Biden vented one week later on a group phone call with supporters, according to an account published by Politico. “With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to,

The vote in the House over whether to create a “January 6th Commission” has ended. The bill passed, which is expected given who runs the chamber. What wasn’t as expected (or perhaps it was?) is that 35 Republicans joined hands with their Democrat colleagues, agreeing to walk headlong into a partisan buzzsaw.
This per The Daily Caller.
The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would create a bipartisan, 9/11-style commission into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with dozens of Republicans joining Democrats in a rebuke of GOP leadership.
The bill passed 252 to 175 with support from 35 Republicans, even though top GOP leaders opposed it and
Geraldo Rivera threw paper and turned his back on Dan Bongino during a wild screaming match over the Palestinian-Israel conflict on Hannity Wednesday. The Fox News personalities appeared together on Sean Hannity to discuss the Middle East conflict which has killed at least 227 people in Gaza and 12 in Israel. The two appeared ready to resume hostilities from the moment they appeared on air after a similar spat in April. Fox News host Hannity began by asking Rivera, an outspoken critic of Israeli aggression, for his views.
The Biden Honeymoon is Definitely Over

Joe Biden has had his 100-day honeymoon. People were bound to start complaining eventually.
But then something at the gas station caught my attention. As I was filling my car, I noticed that someone had put a sticky note on the gas pump. It read, “Prices Compliments of Joe Biden.” When I told a friend about it, he commented that those notes have been appearing around town. (snip) On my 15-minute drive home I saw two pickup trucks proudly flying “F*** Biden” flags. Yup, something’s definitely different this time.

It’s possible that Biden faked a basic task

Thomas Lifson caught the fact that Biden made a joke that would have sent journalists screaming to their psychiatrists had President Trump made it: When they asked about Israel, he said he’d run them over. What someone noticed later is that, in addition to threatening violence to journalists who made him uncomfortable, Biden may have been faking that he was driving. Sharp-eyed observers noted that his steering wheel didn’t control the tires and believe that someone else was driving the car. (snip) In fact, if you watch slo-mo footage of the event, it appears very much as if Biden has a dummy steering wheel.

The leading Black Lives Matter organization declared "solidarity with Palestinians" Monday, a week after Hamas terrorists in Gaza began firing a relentless barrage of rockets into Israel, indiscriminately shelling civilian targets as well as dropping some missiles short and blowing up buildings within its territory.
"Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians," the group tweeted. "We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. ( always have. And always will be ). #freepalestine."
I’ve shied away from reporting on events in Maricopa because it would require more hours than I have in a day to track intelligently the back-and-forth in that recount. My touchstone there is the fact that the Democrats’ and NeverTrumpers’ ferocious efforts to stop the count strike me as the actions of people with something to hide.

Nearly 1,000 Apple employees have signed an internal letter to CEO Tim Cook urging the company to issue a public statement in support of the Palestinian people, The Verge reported Thursday. "We are frustrated and disappointed because once more, many of those in positions of power and influence - who boldly stand for human rights in so many other just causes - either choose to remain silent or release ineffectually neutral 'both sides' statements with regards to the Palestinian situation," wrote the letter's authors, who are members of the Apple Muslim Association, according to The Verge.
