The White House said Monday that Vice President Kamala D. Harris didn’t bake the cookies in her likeness that she handed out to reporters on Air Force Two during her flight to Guatemala. “Cookies that were provided to passengers on Air Force Two on Sunday were a gift from a member of the staff,” a White House official told reporters on condition of anonymity. “The vice president wanted to make sure the cookies were shared with everyone.” The frosted cookies, decorated with a likeness of Ms. Harris, complete with her hair style and a strand of pearls, were handed out to journalists traveling with the vice president
Police detectives have arrested three teens who are believed to be part of the South Miami-Dade gang feud that led to a mass shooting at a graduation party in Kendall. The three teens, Yahtayvius McCutcheon, 17, Quantayvius McCutcheon, 19, and Keyshad Richardson, 19, are not charged with the drive-by shooting outside a hookah bar early Sunday that killed a state corrections officer. Instead, they are being charged with a shooting that happened minutes later, on Florida’s Turnpike, targeting people who had just been at the graduation party.(Snip) Back at the hookah bar, gunmen in at least one other car opened fire on the gathering
Dr. Anthony Fauci avoided questions on his emails and growing demands for him to be fired as he joined Jill Biden for an interview on Live! with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on Monday morning. The pair were instead asked when they have diners with their families and discussed Jill's recent birthday trip to Delaware, a day after protesters greeted them at a vaccine center in Harlem and called for the embattled White House medical adviser to be axed.(Snip) At another point, host Ripa noted that she and Dr. Biden were from neighboring towns in Jersey, calling Biden's hometown of Hammonton the 'blueberry capital of the world.'
Kamala Harris finally revealed Monday that she does not plan to visit the southern border because it would just be a 'grand gesture' as opposed to a genuine trip as she warned illegal migrants they are not welcome in the U.S.
During a press conference in Guatemala, more than 2,000 miles away from the Rio Grande, she vowed to take on corruption and insisted climate change was one of the driving forces behind people fleeing their homes and heading North.(Snip) As Harris commenced her two-day trip south of the border, migrant families continue to stream over into the U.S. either by foot or on inflatable rafts.
“Carlos Danger” needs some cash—and he’s only got one thing to sell.
Anthony Weiner is considering a new career in “political collectibles”—starting with the infamous crotch shot that cost him his seat in Congress.
The several-times disgraced ex-pol said that he’s stepping down as CEO of a Brooklyn countertop company—a job first revealed by The Post—and may instead start selling nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, of various lowlights from his serial-sexting addiction. Weiner told the New York Times that the digital offerings could include the lewd photo he accidentally tweeted in 2011, a copy of the search warrant for the laptop seized by the FBI
Ellie Kemper has issued an apology after photos surfaced showing the actress being crowned the queen of a ball with ties to white supremacy when she was a teen. The “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star, now 41, said she didn’t know the history of St. Louis’ Veiled Prophet Ball when she decided to participate, but isn’t making excuses for her past involvement. “Hi guys–when I was 19 years old, I decided to participate in a debutante ball in my hometown. The century-old organization that hosted the debutante ball had an unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past,” she began her lengthy Instagram post.
Hunter Biden and a former FBI director were hired by a Romanian tycoon later convicted of bribery—and represented him in meetings with top U.S. officials—emails from Hunter's laptop show. Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu was convicted in his home country in 2016 of bribing a university official to buy a 550-acre plot of government-owned land for a drastically reduced price. Popoviciu hired Hunter earlier that year as part of an influence campaign to persuade anti-corruption prosecutors to cut a deal or drop the case.(Snip) The arrangement raises more questions about Hunter's dodgy business deals that threatened to compromised his father—the vice president.
A father-of-three out jogging on Saturday morning in Atlanta's wealthiest neighborhood, Buckhead, was shot twice by a 'mentally ill' man who police say also opened fire on two other people and mowed down a neighbor with his car. Atlanta police arrested and charged 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom with attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime in connection with the weekend crime spree. The first shooting took place in the 1200 block of West Wesley Road in Buckhead, Atlanta's richest section, which has been making a push to form its own police force
It’s going to take a bit in order for our country to fully return to normal–because Democrats seem unwilling to leave the COVID-19 pandemic behind us.
Despite 63.5% of all American adults having been vaccinated against the virus, 71% of Democrats want healthy people to stay at home as much as possible, according to a poll from Gallup. This compares to 87% of Republicans who agree with the recommendation that people should now strive to lead their normal lives. Forty-three percent of Democrats say their lives are not yet back to normal, as compared to only 24% of Republican respondents.
A Chinese military scientist with ties to the United States reportedly filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine well before the disease was declared a global pandemic. Yusen Zhou, who worked for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), lodged the paperwork on behalf of the Chinese political party on February 24 2020, according to The Australian newspaper. That date was just five weeks after China first confirmed human transmission of the coronavirus.(Snip) Zhou mysteriously died less than three months after he filed the patent. The New York Post claims his death was only reported in one Chinese media report, despite the fact he was one of
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. But, in what Quay and Muller called

Liz Cheney claimed Trump did 'the most dangerous thing' a president has ever done by 'inciting' the January 6 Capitol attack as she revealed many GOP lawmakers didn't vote for impeachment because they feared for their safety. 'I think what Donald Trump did is the most dangerous thing, the most egregious violation of an oath of office of any president in our history,' Cheney told David Axelrod on an episode of his The Axe Files podcast, which was recorded Saturday but released Monday.'I have had a number of members say to me, 'we would have voted to impeach, but we were concerned about our security,''
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 San Francisco Giants told fans Tuesday that the team will add gay pride colors to its hats and uniforms in recognition of Gay Pride Month.
“The 11 colors of the new Pride logo are emblematic of the Progress Pride Flag and signify inclusion and progression with the six pride colors,” the team said in a statement, “red (life); orange (healing); yellow (sunlight); green (nature); blue (serenity); purple (spirit); and black and brown to recognize LGBTQ+ people of color and light blue, pink and white to recognize people who are transgender.”
Late Friday the British publication DailyMail reported that the United States Department of Defense provided $39 million in grant funding to “EcoHealth Alliance” as part of the aggregated grant funding received by EcoHealth Alliance to conduct various types of “gain of function” virus research – a type of research in which scientists engineer viruses to make them more transmissible or lethal and which can be used to create bioweapons.
EcoHealth Alliance used a large amount of its funding to support research projects on the subject at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Chinese “bat virus” expert Dr. Shi Zenglhi — the “Bat Lady.”

A family of six came under fire along a stretch of Missouri highway last week while on their way to vacation, and a 22-year-old mother is accused of pulling the trigger. According to police, the family from Tennessee was heading to Kansas City on I-55 in their Nissan Pathfinder on Friday when a Ford Focus started tailgating the SUV. The Pathfinder driver braked to tell the Focus to slow down or go around, KMOV reported. The Focus sped up, got next to the Pathfinder, and the passenger, Shanyka Fouche, pulled out a gun and began shooting, police told KMOV. Bullets flew
Former President Obama criticized voting laws being passed by Republicans across the country, saying that such changes to the voting system is "rigging the game."
He said during an Economic Club of Chicago event Friday about the new election integrity law in Georgia:
That's the kind of dangerous behavior that we're going to have to push back on.
Obama suggested that urban areas will face more barriers in order to vote, alleging that the law made a "different set of rules for how votes are counted in Atlanta versus how they're counted in the rest of Georgia."
Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, says the latest round of conservative attacks against him are "nonsense" attacks on science. The doctor appeared on Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC to discuss a trove of emails of his that were obtained by BuzzFeed News and The Washington Post that are at the heart of the recent criticisms. "Dr Fauci is the subject—in a negative way—of every hour on Fox News prime time now, where they think he can somehow be blamed for causing Covid or something, since he's the country's lead scientist on it. Or maybe he's a secret Chinese communist.

President Joe Biden told new graduates that systemic racism is one of the 'greatest crises of our time' and said it was an 'inflection point' similar to the Vietnam War. 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'.
Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton weighed in on Republican state legislatures pursuing basic election integrity measures in their respective states, contending that it “shouldn’t be a partisan issue” to reject such efforts.
In a Monday social media post, Clinton likened the left’s radical attempt to overhaul U.S. election — stripping states of basic election safeguards such as voter ID — to “preserving America’s democracy.”
“Preserving America’s democracy shouldn’t be a partisan issue. But the fact is that Republican-led legislatures have enacted at least 22 news laws this year restricting access to voting,” she claimed alongside a map from the Brennan Center for Justice.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” called the Republican Party “anti-democratic.”
Witt said, “Here is something that investigative reporters have gotten ahold of from The New York Times. They report that in Donald Trump’s final weeks in office, his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, repeatedly pushed the Justice Department to investigate unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. This is according to newly-uncovered emails provided to Congress. What new layer does this add to the effort to undermine the election results? How serious is this direct link to the Oval Office and Donald Trump?”
Schiff said, “It’s very serious.

"Justizz fo Boogie" be the anguished cry arising from The Community, defending as one of their own a violent felon with 20 prior arrests. This does nothing to support the notion that only White Supremacy keeps them from behaving the same way as every other group does in Failed American society, but hey.
