Actress Megan Fox slammed the “uneducated” social media mob who came for her this week after she appeared to praise former President Donald Trump. Miss Fox sparked a firestorm after she told “Jimmy Kimmel Live” guest host Arsenio Hall that Mr. Trump was treated like a “legend” at Saturday’s UFC fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas.(Snip) “The arena was filled with UFC fight fans,” she continued, “many of them clearly Republican based off the insane crowd reaction he received walking into the T-Mobile venue. That was an observable fact. Not my opinion.” “Really loving this uneducated,

The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found.
CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week

Jon Laster built a career on making people laugh. Now he wants to change the world. After George Floyd’s May 25, 2020 murder, the comedian was marching in a protest on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn when he decided to do something that would have a wider impact in the Black community.(Snip)Laster’s Silicon Valley connections used technology that provides a map of the Black owned businesses anywhere its user is in the United States. The idea is to let people shop local, support Black-owned restaurants and bars but also Black florists, moving companies, lawyers, plumbers, doctors, mechanics and accountants.
A 6-year-old girl was killed and five adults hurt after someone opened fire near a Popeye’s in Washington D.C., police said. The child was pronounced dead at Sibley Memorial Hospital, said cops, prompting Metropolitan Police Department Executive Assistant Chief Ashan Benedict to plea for the public to help “bring these shooters to justice.”(Snip) The incident unfolded just after 11 p.m. Friday. Officers heard shots ring out at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE and Malcolm Avenue X SE, and arrived at the intersection to find the victims, including the child, three men and two women, Benedict said.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is 'weaker' against the Indian 'Delta' variant than health officials had hoped, a new report from Israel claims
On Friday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett held a discussion about the coronavirus with his Cabinet at the Kirya in Tel Aviv. Israel once led the entire world in the vaccine race, vaccinating 61 percent of its population with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine—but is now dealing with a surge in cases.(Snip) As of June 6, the vaccine provides 64 percent protection against infection from the variant, according to the Israeli government. 'At the moment, there is an idea that is spreading
A House panel this week passed several measures aimed at cutting U.S. taxpayer funding for scientific research in China, as a growing number of lawmakers increase calls for transparency into the origins of COVID-19.
The House Appropriations Committee passed several measures attached to spending bills that would end U.S. taxpayer funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), cut funding for certain medical experiments in China, and investigate why COVID gene sequencing data was removed from the National Institutes of Health. “We owe it to the more than 600,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19 and their loved ones–not to mention the small businesses and communities
Fat-cat food-industry heavyweights have feasted on millions from the Biden administration’s $26.8 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund—while cash-starved mom-and-pop operators battle for crumbs at the bailout banquet, according to data released by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
More than 70 percent of restaurant applicants nationally were denied any funding. But here in New York City, chains, celebrity chefs—and even alleged swindlers—hauled in windfalls.(Snip)“This is crazy. The whole thing stinks,” fumed Patrick Hughes, the owner of Hellcat Annie’s and Scruffy Duffy’s in Hell’s Kitchen. “Some places weren’t even open and got millions. Many of us who worked our

Officials in Australia are rebranding shark “attacks” as “a negative encounter” as experts argue the former had given the nautical predators a bad reputation not based on science. At least two of the six Australian states have reportedly changed the way they officially describe shark attacks. In New South Wales, the government’s shark reports now refer to shark “incidents” or “interactions,” and in Queensland, the state government refers to them as “a negative encounter,” Sky News reported.(Snip)Proponents argue the word “attack” has created a culture of fear around sharks, one often depicted in movies. “Sharks are very curious animals,” Leonardo Guida, a shark biologist
Is it possible to get “canceled” after shaking hands? For TikTok star Addison Rae, 20, that might be the case after she recently greeted former President Donald Trump, 75. Various celebrities gathered together at the July 11 UFC 264 event in Las Vegas to watch the Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor fight.(Snip)However, the real drama occurred ringside when Rae decided to tap the ex-president on the shoulder and politely introduce herself while he sat among his entourage. The video shows the content creator—who was at the event for a side gig doing red carpet interviews—approaching the former commander-in-chief and uttering, “Hi!

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Trump-Russia FBI spy Stefan Halper, while also sanctioning plaintiff Svetlana Lokhova and her attorney for “their continuing to bring frivolous litigation against Halper.”
The final ruling, filed July 9 in Virginia by U.S. District Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkema, came in the second of two lawsuits filed by Ms. Lokhova. She is a Russia-born, British citizen-scholar wrongly linked by press reports in 2017-18 to some type of inappropriate contact with retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Her first lawsuit, brought by lawyer Steven S. Biss, alleged defamation by Mr. Halper and news media outlets.
The top federal prosecutor in Delaware decided to pause a criminal investigation of Hunter Biden months before the 2020 election to prevent the public from learning about it, according to a report. US Attorney David Weiss, appointed by former President Donald Trump, decided not to seek search warrants or issue grand jury subpoenas so as not to “alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election,” Politico reports.(Snip) The Biden campaign and Democrats tried to claim the documents were “Russian disinformation”—as Hunter’s former business partner came forward to corroborate The Post’s reporting and offer additional documentation that bolstered the story.
The arrest of a hate-spewing homeless man Thursday for his bloody knife attack on a gay man did nothing to calm the still-terrified victim’s nerves.
Victim Milton Lobos Salguero, 34, said he was both lucky to be alive and plagued by horrifying nightmares after the July 6 attack where a suspect with 90 prior arrests began spouting homophobic slurs before gashing him across the face. Ramon Castro, free at the time of the attack despite a pair of late June arrests, allegedly called the victim a “Latino [expletive]” before slicing Salguero’s face.(Snip)Salguero immigrated 15 years ago from El Salvador, where a childhood rape

The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting."
The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.) [Tweet] The ad is in part a direct response to Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib's recent announcement that he is gay, a league spokesperson said.
WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.
More than 74,000 mail-in ballots were received in Maricopa County, Arizona than appear to have been mailed out, a forensic audit has determined. According to the auditors, 74,243 mail-in ballots were counted with “no clear record of them being sent.”The Arizona Senate, led by Senate President Karen Fann, held a hearing on Thursday to discuss the preliminary results of the first phase of the audit in Maricopa County.(snip)The irregularities revealed during the hearing amounted to hundreds of thousands of votes.
Biden won Arizona by only 10,457 votes.

Here are the biased numbers for the recent Economist-YouGov poll that gives Joe Biden a 49% approval rating. (snip) Dem (324) Republican (235) Independent (260)
Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results. It is not hard to get the results you want if the polls are assembled in this way, and this is always the method with these polls.
A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped because they are not registered to vote or affiliated with a party? Were their answers included in the reported percentages?

Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus.
The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness.
On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests. On Saturday morning, two additional members tested positive after taking rapid tests. The cases were first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

An online left-wing magazine in Canada is calling for the sale of pickup trucks to be banned unless the purchaser can prove that they really need one in their lives, and this has Americans worried that the United States could be next. In a piece published this week, Passage magazine managing editor Davide Mastracci argued that the long-term goal is to “shift away from relying on private vehicles entirely,” but that for now, he’d like to start with the iconic, American-created pickup truck. Why? Because of the alleged threat posed by climate change.“[D]rastically cutting emissions from the transportation sector is of the utmost importance for a successful climate strategy.

Scientifically Literate,' and 'Sophisticated' 25 replies
Vaccine hesitancy is a big problem, according to the Biden administration. Less than half the public is fully vaccinated while about 56 percent have received at least one jab.
The goal of fully vaccinating the American public appears to have stalled. This should not surprise us. When the vaccines were first approved for emergency use back in December 2020, 40 percent of Americans expressed skepticism about the vaccine.
Trying to shame the holdouts has failed spectacularly. Insulting and degrading them as “morons” or “ignorant” has resulted in a vicious pushback and a hardening of positions on getting vaccinated.

Actress remarks on the huge ovation received by President Trump and is immediately attacked by tolerant leftists. "Are you now, or have you ever been, a Trump supporter?" The new litmus test from the same crowd that said "never again" to the likes of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who was right on target with his so-called witch hunts of communists.
