But it may be easier—not to mention more considerate—for native English speakers to start welcoming a range of accents instead. (Snip) Hansen believes that the issue is a vestige of colonialism that remains largely unchecked in the workplace.Consider th e numbers. “Here’s what’s really interesting about the English speaking world.

The attorneys general of 22 states on Friday urged the U.S. Supreme Court not to end the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's pandemic-related residential eviction moratorium that has been challenged by landlord groups.

Led by the Alabama Association of Realtors, the landlord groups argued that the

A magazine editor explained on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday why he's reconsidering whether to hire Ivy league graduates. "I would just say that 10 years ago I would have seen that as a big positive on their resume and now I see it as a negative that they have to overcome in the interview because obviously there is going to be great kids all over in higher [education]at different schools," said the editor of "First Things" magazine Rusty Reno. Reno said back then, the negative tendencies of Ivy League graduates was that they had a "sense of entitlement" and "arrogance."

Lordstown Motors, the startup electric truck maker, warned Tuesday it is close to running out of cash and may be forced out of business in the next year.

For 53 years, Lordstown, Ohio, was home to a massive General Motors plant, which GM closed in 2019. (Snip) But Tuesday the startup said it no longer has enough money to start commercial production.

Minneapolis city crews returned to George Floyd Square early Tuesday to remove debris and makeshift barriers for the second time in an attempt to open the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue S to traffic. Crews moved in with front-end loaders and brooms just before 5 a.m. to move objects out of the way.

Vice President Kamala Harris compared her decision not to visit the southern U.S. border to not yet visiting Europe, arguing her task to stem migration to the southern U.S. border is about addressing root causes of the immigration surge.

(She was referring to other Biden administration officials who have been there.) (Snip) Harris appeared to grow frustrated. "And I haven't been to Europe," she retorted. "I don't understand

He ended up working at a fast food restaurant in a suburb of Washington, juggling the job with attending school held online as the world's largest Covid-19 outbreak tore through the United States. "It's exhausting," Togi said, describing long days spent between school and work, leaving little time for the teenager, who was born in Mongolia, to socialize.

The corrupt DOJ and its FBI totally ignored the flood of election crimes in the 2020 election. So it’s no surprise that now the corrupt AG decides to threaten any person who is involved in election audits to prevent them from looking into the election crimes and fraud that were committed.
