The Nigerian government announced Friday it had indefinitely suspended Twitter’s operations in the West African country—but drew mockery for posting its statement about the ban on Twitter. Minister for Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said that the country had “suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.” The statement, posted on the ministry’s official Twitter account, cited “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.” The suspension came two days after the social media giant deleted a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists.

Comments:

Good for Nigeria. Failed America should have done the same in exchange for their banning Rightful President Trump.

I think Nigeria mocked the twits since they used twit to get the message out that twit got cancelled. Twits who think only they can cancel, got cancelled by a whole nation on their own platform. In your face, ya twits! Go Nigeria!

The former head of the Food and Drug Administration, Scott Gottlieb, has said Dr. Anthony Fauci told world leaders in the spring of 2020 that the coronavirus may have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. U.S. researchers around that time still were considering whether the virus came from a lab break, and Fauci told the health leaders gathered that the newly identified strain of the coronavirus 'looked unusual,' according to Gottlieb.(Snip) Meanwhile, Gottlieb concluded by saying that it was a mistake to only look at the virus from a scientific perspective: It also needs to be examined from a national security lens, he said.

“Damning” science strongly suggests that COVID-19 is a man-made monster, optimized in a lab for maximum infectivity before hitting the outside to catastrophic effect, two experts said Sunday. Writing in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller pointed to two key pieces of evidence to support the claim, which has increasingly gained steam after long being derided as little more than speculation.(Snip) The pair noted that the double CGG sequence has never been found naturally among the entire group of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.

Atlanta—Atlanta police released the identity of a suspect they believe shot at joggers in Buckhead, wounding one, on Saturday before pinning a pedestrian between his car and a truck a few hours later. Police said 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom is the suspect in the two apparently connected crimes. He's currently facing criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He's currently in Fulton County Jail.(Snip) Resident Michael King said he called 911. He later went outside to find the wounded man.

Adversaries to the US are capable of shutting down the nation’s electrical grid, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted Sunday, saying that such cybersecurity attacks are “happening all the time.” Granholm warned of the system’s vulnerabilities—amid an uptick of ransomware sieges—on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Yeah, they do,” Granholm told host Jake Tapper when asked if foreign actors have the ability to make the power grid go dark. “There are very malign actors who are trying, even as we speak,” she explained. “There are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally.”

The coronavirus death toll in a California county has been cut by 25 percent—after officials found that some fatalities were not a “direct result” of the virus. Alameda County on Friday issued a corrected death toll that puts the total number of fatalities at 1,223, significantly down from its previous count of 1,634. “Alameda County previously included any person who died while infected with the virus in the total COVID-19 deaths for the County,” health officials said in a statement. “Aligning with the State’s definition will require Alameda County to report as COVID-19 deaths only those people who died as a direct result

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp drew boos and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was formally censured at the state's GOP convention Saturday for what critics say were their roles in former President Donald Trump's loss in the pivotal state last November. Kemp has been criticized by the former president and his supporters for his certification of the state's election results that favored Joe Biden, while Raffensperger was chastised for his allowing the use of absentee ballots this past election, which backers of Trump's stolen election claim say allowed for widespread voter fraud.(Snip) The jeers drowned out Kemp's speech for about 30 seconds

The recent campaign launch by a Bush family scion has upended their longstanding unity, causing heartbreak behind the scenes and even a rare public rebuke from a longtime Bush loyalist. The Bushes have long been known for their conservative politics and loyalty to their inner circle. Political consultants and advisers for former President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush often worked with them for a decade or more, remaining in close contact years after the time in elected office had come to an end. George P.

Biden's brief video message to graduates was released by the White House under his @POTUS address as the coronavirus pandemic has put a dent in commencement ceremonies. Comparing today's students to those who graduated during the era of the civil rights and anti-war protest movements, Biden encouraged them to seize the moment to tackle climate change and systemic racism which he described as one of 'the great crises of our time'.
