A man whose shocking slur-filled rant against an Asian NYPD cop went viral this month threatened another officer’s family just before the racist attack, newly surfaced video shows. The unidentified man, who’s black, repeatedly called the Asian officer a “ch—k” in a widely circulated video that was filmed in Greenwich Village as protests were held in Washington Square Park on June 5. But new video posted by the Police Benevolent Association union on Wednesday shows the lead-up to that racist exchange—as the man angrily eggs on another cop sitting in a police van.(Snip) “It’s not an isolated incident. It is the reality on our streets.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland celebrated Flag Day on Monday by hoisting the “Progress Pride” flag above the Interior building in Washington, DC. “Today we celebrate love,” Haaland wrote on social media with a picture of the flag. “For the first time ever, the Progress Pride Flag is raised over Interior. Happy Pride!” The Progress Pride flag is a revised version of the gay pride rainbow flag, including black and brown stripes to represent gay, lesbian, transgender, and intersex people of color, as well as the colors of the pink and baby blue transgender flag.(Snip)It is unclear if Haaland intentionally featured the Progress Pride Flag on Flag Day

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been slammed for sending a 'deranged' email to one of her female staffers berating her for failing to scheduled enough 'office time'. The condescending message was sent by Lightfoot to her then-scheduler Taylor Lewis on January 28, but was only obtained by the Chicago Tribune this week. The paper was investigating reports of high staff turnover at City Hall when they uncovered the 'unhinged' email. The message included sentences which Lightfoot repeated more than a dozen times—apparently in order to really get her point across.(Snip) In the email, Lightfoot continued to patronizingly repeat each sentence she subsequently wrote.

San Francisco has become a shoplifter’s paradise—with thieves like the one caught on video looting a Walgreens emboldened by relaxed punishment for the crime as businesses shutter, cops say. The Walgreens heist, which happened right in front of a security guard, renewed the debate over a controversial city law called Proposition 47. “What happened in that Walgreens has been going on in that city for quite a while,” San Francisco police Lt. Tracy McCray said on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” Wednesday. “I’m used to it,” McCray continued. “I mean, we can have a greatest hits compilation of people just walking in and cleaning out the store

The 42-year-old white officer was bleeding form his head and face when his colleagues were flagged down near Grove Street and Newark Avenue around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. The officer was assaulted by a group of 10 males, who were also shouting racially motivated insults at the victim, she said. The unnamed victim identified himself as an off-duty police officer multiple times throughout the assault before losing consciousness

Hunter Biden referred to Asians as 'yellow' in a 2019 text conversation with his cousin. Caroline Biden, President Joe Biden's niece, was texting Hunter discussing setting him up with her rich, model friends. In the January 2019 conversation she asked her cousin: 'Do you want foreign or domestic. I can't give you [expletive] Asian sorry. I'm not doing it.' The president's son replied: 'Domesticated foreigner is fine. No yellow.'(Snip)Caroline, daughter of Joe Biden's brother Jim, was trying to help Hunter get over Hallie, his brother's widow and his lover, with whom his relationship had soured. The 34-year-old has had several run-ins with the law.

Comedian Dana Carvey gave a bumbling impersonation of President Biden during an appearance on “The Late Show” Monday, mistaking Belgium waffles for “crazy pancakes” and repeatedly referring to host Stephen Colbert as “Merv.”
Mr. Colbert introduced Mr. Carvey on the show as the president via satellite from Brussels, where the real Mr. Biden attended a U.S.-European Union summit Tuesday. Mr. Carvey shuffled into the room and had trouble finding the camera before saying, “Oh! There you are!”(Snip) Mr. Carvey’s Biden recounted his Europe trip, referring to French President Emmanuel Macron as “the high school kid who runs France, Macaroni,” and calling Belgium waffles “crazy pancakes”

President Biden appeared to be holding another of his “cheat sheets” at his high-stakes summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Switzerland on Wednesday. Biden seemed to be hiding the notes from Putin, a former KBG agent, as they sat on opposite sides of a small table inside the historic Villa la Grange in Geneva, the Sun reported.(Snip) The scene unfolded as the two world leaders barely made eye contact during introductory remarks that were interrupted by a shoving match between American reporters and Russian security personnel. The chaos largely drowned out Biden’s comments, which included calling the US and Russia

Connecticut schools that insist on using Native American nicknames and mascots without written consent from tribal leaders could see their budgets on the chopping block. State senators passed a budget bill Tuesday containing a provision that cut districts off from the Mashantucket Pequot/Mohegan Fund, which generates education revenue at the state’s Indian-run casinos. Money would be withheld to schools that don’t have permission to use “any name, symbol or image that depicts, refers to or is associated with a state or federally recognized Native American tribe or a Native American individual, custom or tradition, as a mascot, nickname, logo or team team.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on Wednesday is set to unveil a statue of George Floyd that officials say will be displayed outside City Hall for at least a year. “The artwork honors the life of George Floyd, an African-American man who was brutally murdered by a white Minneapolis police officer,” the mayor’s office said in a statement. “Mr. Floyd’s death elevated the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement which has resulted in an international response, including protests, police reform measures, and the removal of Confederate statues from public parks and racist names from organizations.”(Snip) The ceremony will also honor Juneteenth, which is Saturday and marks June 19,

A growing legion of black parents in Queens say the Department of Education has failed their kids through mismanagement and neglect—fueling an exodus out of the public school system. Fed-up families in District 29—a primarily black area which includes Hollis, Rosedale, and Cambria Heights—said the DOE has long tolerated abysmal math and English proficiency rates, despite high per-student spending.(Snip) Despite spending roughly $27,000 per student, PS 134 in Hollis saw only 6 percent of 5th graders pass their 2019 state math proficiency test and 17 percent hit that minimal mark in English. The DOE spent nearly the same amount at PS 156

In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. And that’s certainly an undercount. Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships and elsewhere. These weapons of war disappeared because of security failures that, until now, have not been publicly reported, including sleeping troops and a surveillance system that didn’t record.(Snip) While AP’s focus was firearms, military explosives also

What a time to be an American. Clever to add a "convenience fee" to encourage compliance; Chief Judas John Roberts would surely approve.
