Wilmington, Del.—A highway sign that recently went up in Delaware was noticeably missing a letter in the state's name. The new Wilmington exit sign on Interstate 95 should have said "Delaware Ave" but was misspelled as "Delware," The News Journal reports. Delaware's transportation department and its contractor, Kiewit Infrastructure Company, say the sign was always meant to be temporary and has been replaced. Exit 7 was previously closed for construction.(Snip)Donnie Arant, a Kiewit area manager, told the newspaper that the blunder was discovered after the sign was installed. It was not clear how long the error was up before it was covered Wednesday.

What a fitting homage to our drooling dotard pResident and our attention-hungry first "lady." Did Doctor Jill spot the mistake personally? She's a doctor and an educator, you know.

They don't call Joe Biden the Delaware Dummy for nothing. Teaching people to spell correctly went out the window two decades ago. Someone at the contractor company has an outcome based education so it was close enough to be correct.

LOL - they said it was a 'temporary sign' and was quickly replaced. Delaware probably can't wait to return to obscurity as soon as Old Joe is off the scene.

A sign made by a fine product of our public schools. Hoe the sign maker was not a college graduate. Of course Democrats can turn this around to argue for 4 years of free Community College to make up for all they did not learn in elementary. middle, and, high school.

San Francisco—A recent video of an auto-burglary on a busy San Francisco street shows just how commonplace it is and how residents have become inured to the situation. Tourist hot spots are popular places for car burglars. A recent smash-and-grab on Grant Avenue near Jackson Street in Chinatown took place within feet of bystanders. A driver gets into his car across the street, as the thief peers into the victim’s car.

Two Washington state artists have been being charged with pretending to be Native American carvers to sell works at downtown Seattle galleries. Lewis Anthony Rath, 52, and Jerry Chris Van Dyke, 67, were charged separately by the feds with violating the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which prohibits misrepresentation in the selling of American Indian or Alaska Native arts and crafts, authorities said Friday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Rath falsely claimed to be part of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, and Van Dyke pretended to be a member in the Nez Perce Tribe.

An evangelical Christian ministry is asking the Supreme Court to take up its four-year-old defamation lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center, arguing that the “actual-malice” standard established in the court’s landmark New York Times v. Sullivan case should be tossed. D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM), the namesake of the late pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, sued the SPLC in 2017 after the Birmingham, Alabama-based organization designated the media ministry as a “hate group.” The ministry says it is far from a hate group and preaches biblical messages, including the tenet that marriage was created to be between a man and a woman.

Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn—Three individuals entered a Brooklyn jewelry store Dec. 1 and made off with about $14,000 worth of merchandise, officials said Friday. At about 1:20 p.m., three men entered the store on Rockaway Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Two of the men displayed firearms and forced a 22-year-old man into the store’s basement while the third kept watch, officials said. Police said the suspects then forced two more victims—a 21-year-old man and a 34-year-old man—to lay down on the floor, beating them with their firearms. After the assaults, police said the suspects stole cash, electronics, jewelry and other merchandise

A homeless black man from Florida who was arrested last week in the stabbing death of a 14-year-old boy got into a fight with a sheriff's deputy as he was being booked into jail and made several statements invoking race, including calling the officer a 'white devil.' Semmie Williams, 39, was arrested on December 1 in Miami on first-degree murder charges for the November 15 slaying of Ryan Rogers, 14, whose body was found alongside an Interstate 95 overpass. According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office incident report, as Deputy Michael McCabe was fingerprinting Williams, he asked him if he understood why he was being arrested.

Hate crimes targeting Christians in Germany have nearly trebled in a year amid a wave of religious discrimination across Europe. From 2019 to 2020, the majority Christian nation saw a rise in attacks from 57 to 141. This included seven physical assaults against Christians for their beliefs, three thefts or robberies, one desecration of a grave and 24 verbal threats. Overall, hate crime in Germany rose by 19 per cent last year. The Vienna-based Observatory on Intolerance against Christians in Europe (OIDAC), which has compiled a report on anti-Christian hate crime in the continent, says the two main threats come from 'secular intolerance' and 'Islamic oppression'.

Prices spiked a whopping 6.8 percent in November, compared with the same time last year—the fastest acceleration of inflation the country has seen in 39 years, the feds announced Friday. It’s the highest year-over-year reading of the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, since 1982, when the country saw surging inflation that sparked year-over-year spikes as high as more than 14 percent. That means inflation is now accelerating at the highest pace many Americans have ever seen in their lifetimes. November’s 6.8 percent spike from the same time last year

President Biden has signed a series of executive orders to make the federal government carbon neutral. The Democrat president on Wednesday ordered federal agencies to purchase electric vehicles, harness wind, solar, and nuclear energy to power facilities, and to use sustainable building materials. The goal is for the federal government to stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2050. In the next decade, Biden wants the government to cease purchasing electricity produced from sources that emit carbon dioxide. By 2035, the administration wants all new federal cars and truck purchases to be zero-emissions. Right now, only about 1.5% of the government fleet is electric vehicles.

Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters that Friday's Supreme Court ruling leaving in place a Texas abortion law was 'an attempt to undo 50 years of precedent.' The court ruled Friday that a lawsuit by abortion providers in Texas can move forward but left the ban on abortions after about six weeks in place as challenges are being litigated. The high court punted the law's legality. Its action today sends the case by abortion providers back to a district court, which could lead to it being suspended.

The Food and Drug Administration is asking a judge to give it 75 years to produce data concerning the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine, up 20 years from a previous request. The FDA told the court it can work faster than its previously proposed 500-pages-per-month rate, but it also said there are more than 59,000 more pages than mentioned in an earlier filing. That discovery, and a desire to make sure it can work on other Freedom of Information Act requests at the same time, prompted the fresh request to the judge to allow production of roughly 12,000 pages by Jan. 31, 2022, and 500

Actor Jussie Smollett was found guilty of lying to police last week after he claimed he was the victim of a hate crime in 2019 and, of all things, a Subway sandwich was a key piece of evidence in the case against him, the former Chicago police superintendent said, according to reports. Ex-Superintendent Eddie Johnson told NewsNationNow's "Morning in America" that Smollett left his home around 2 a.m. on the day he claimed to be attacked to buy the sandwich. "OK, that’s fine," Johnson said, adding that morning was one of the coldest in Chicago that year and hardly anyone was on the street.
