Raleigh, N.C.—An 18-year-old woman is in jail for murder and friends of a 69-year-old Raleigh man are grieving. Police said James Taylor was left for dead in a Raleigh cemetery Friday night. As friends gathered on Memorial Day to fly radio control model airplanes, their hearts were heavy. “I’ve been thinking about him a lot today,” said David Hogue.(Snip) Hogue described his friend as “one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Always willing to help you, always willing to loan you any tools. He’d give you the shirt off his back, quite literally, if you needed it.”

A homeless man with dozens of prior arrests was busted for slugging an Asian woman in Chinatown on Tuesday—and frustrated top cop Dermot Shea said the suspect was free to put New Yorkers “at risk” because of the state’s revolving door justice system. “When you have an individual like yesterday’s from Chinatown [who] lives in a shelter, arrested eight times in the last year, randomly assaulting people … What are we doing in society when we are releasing these people right back onto the streets?(Snip)Alexander Wright, 48, faces assault as a hate crime and assault charges in the sickening caught-on-camera attack

The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See in Rome displayed a rainbow flag in celebration of Pride Month on Tuesday. “The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See celebrates #PrideMonth with the Pride flag on display during the month of June,” the embassy tweeted. “The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTQI+ people. LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.” The tweet included a photo of the rainbow flag hanging outside the embassy, which is currently represented by Chargé d’Affaires Patrick Connell, ad interim, as President Biden has yet to choose a new ambassador since taking office.(Snip) In April, Secretary of State Antony Blinken

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed legislation barring transgender athletes who identify as female from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, joining seven other states in what he described as an effort to protect female sports. Mr. DeSantis, a Republican, gave the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act his signature flanked by teenage female athletes at Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville. “I can tell you that in Florida, girls are going to play girls’ sports, and boys are going to play boys’ sports,” Mr. DeSantis said at the event.(Snip) The Florida law covers state-sponsored female athletics from middle school to college.

A man in China has been infected with the world’s first human case of the H10N3 strain of bird flu—but the risk of community transmission is low, health officials said Tuesday. The 41-year-old man, a resident of the eastern city of Zhenjiang, was hospitalized April 28 after developing a fever and other symptoms, the National Health Commission said. He was diagnosed with the H10N3 strain of bird flu on May 28, but now is in stable condition and preparing to be discharged from the hospital. It’s unclear how exactly he became infected with H10N3, but health officials said it was a case of “accidental cross-species

President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced plans to build black wealth and narrow the racial income gap ahead of a trip to Oklahoma to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Biden's plan focuses on two key creators of wealth: homeownership and small business ownership. Under his proposal, the Department of Housing and Urban Development will propose new regulations 'to root out discrimination in the appraisal and homebuying process,' according to a White House fact sheet, in a bid to boost black home ownership. The administration also is seeking to address disparities that result in black-owned homes being appraised at tens of thousands of dollars less

An unhinged man randomly slugged an Asian woman in the face, knocking her to the ground, in a brazen attack outside a Chinatown restaurant on Monday, police said. Surveillance video posted on Twitter by Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, whose district covers Chinatown, captured the horrifying daytime assault on Bayard Street, near Mott Street. The 55-year-old victim can be seen walking by the Kong Sihk Tong café at around 6:15 p.m.—when a man in an orange hoodie and denim jacket whacks her unprovoked. The woman falls backward onto the pavement, and the attacker begins ranting as two people dining outside sit in stunned silence,

A former U.S. national security adviser said over the weekend that a military coup to overthrow the U.S. government “should happen.”
Michael Flynn said at a convention in Dallas that America’s armed forces should follow the lead of those of Myanmar, who seized power after a disputed election. He was asked during a question-and-answer session at a QAnon conference by a man who said he was a Marine “I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” The QAnon crowd, some of whom have praised the Myanmar coup, cheered and Mr. Flynn, who was former President Trump’s first national security adviser

Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row will soon feature a men’s homeless shelter smack-bang in the middle of it despite a three-year offensive to halt its creation by members of the city’s elite, the New York Court of Appeals has ruled. Residents of the city’s priciest street fought tooth and nail to halt Mayor de Blasio’s $60.8 million plan to open a 150-bed men’s shelter in the closed Park Savoy Hotel at 158 W. 58th St., arguing the location would be a dangerous “firetrap” and that crime would inevitably ensue on the ritzy block. The West 58th Street Coalition, which brought the 2018 suit, had challenged

Tallahassee, Fla.—The Biden administration is urging a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit that could stand in the way of states like Florida in allowing prescription drugs to be imported from Canada. In a legal brief filed Friday, the White House argues that the lawsuit filed on behalf of U.S. pharmaceutical companies was premature because the federal government has yet to approve any importation programs. The administration’s legal filing came on the same day Florida’s Republican governor, who is considering a run for the White House in 2024, called on the Biden administration to approve its drug importation application.

Houston–She wondered what the children knew. Kimberly Hewitt noticed them playing outside Cuney Homes when she arrived on the anniversary of George Floyd's killing and feared the deaths of Black people were starting to seem too normal. She did not want young people here to think an early death was their fate, too. Hewitt and several dozen well-wishers prayed. They recited Floyd's name and released a panoply of red and gold balloons into the sky. Yet the mourning was hardly over. Floyd was only one in a cascade of neighborhood men to die lately, and they had another funeral to attend.

Dr Anthony Fauci, the top infectious diseases expert in the US, has warned it is too early to declare victory against Covid-19 as cases fall in the country to the lowest rates since last June. “We don’t want to declare victory prematurely because we still have a ways to go,” Fauci told the Guardian in an interview. “But the more and more people that can get vaccinated, as a community, the community will be safer and safer.”(Snip) “As long as there is some degree of activity throughout the world, there’s always a danger of variants emerging and diminishing somewhat the effectiveness of our vaccines,” said Fauci,
Comments:
When is the last time the US declared victory over anything? Victory would begin with the sound of handcuffs being snapped on Dr. Fauci's wrists, but there's no sign of that happening because too many important people are making fortunes. Instead, we have an unimaginably costly, liberty-destroying capitulation.
