President Joe Biden has offered Russian President Vladimir Putin access to NATO bases so that Moscow can verify the US does not have Tomahawk cruise missiles in Romania or Poland in a bid to avoid war in Ukraine. Sources close to Biden told Bloomberg on Tuesday the proposal would only come to fruition upon agreement with American allies, especially Poland and Romania. Russia would also need to share similar information about a number of bases housing ground-launched weapons. Biden's proposal reportedly aims to diminish the Kremlin's fears that the US could use the missiles to target Russia. News of the proposal comes as US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is set

NYPD officers ‘crackers’ in 2019:
‘That was inappropriate’ 21 replies
Mayor Adams bragged in 2019 about being a better police officer than his “cracker” colleagues in the NYPD, the Daily News has learned.
Adams, who was at the time gearing up to launch his campaign for mayor, went on the racially-charged diatribe while at a private event in Harlem on Dec. 13, 2019, a video exclusively obtained by The News shows. “Every day in the Police Department, I kicked those crackers’ a--,” Adams says in the video. “Man, I was unbelievable in the Police Department with 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement,” he continued, referring to a police advocacy group he co-founded in the 1990s.
Federal workers in Portland went off on city commissioners over the 'intolerable' and 'dangerous' conditions of the downtown area outside federal buildings, where they describe having to 'step over discarded needles and people sleeping in doorways to get to work.'
On Wednesday, the City Council heard from two people who both live and work in downtown Portland who demanded that the situation be addressed, specifically, the massive homeless encampment outside federal buildings. 'Trash and human waste are everywhere,' Dar Crammond, director of the U.S. Geological Survey's Oregon Water Science Center, said at the meeting. 'Drug dealing is rife, and we often have to step over discarded needles and sleeping forms
The Covid-19 pandemic has seen two pernicious trends emerge as to how Americans are getting around their country: public transit is struggling with a reduced number of paying customers, while there has been a sharp increase in car crash deaths. The shuttering of businesses, the rise of working from home and a fear of contracting the coronavirus saw public transport use plummet across the US–commuter rail alone reported a 79% decline in ridership in the year to September 2020. Despite a slight resurgence in 2021, trips taken on all modes of public transit are still around half of what they were before the pandemic, federal government figures show.
North Las Vegas police have released a dozen harrowing 911 calls from last week's deadly six-car pileup that killed nine people, including a family of seven with four children. 'There's bodies everywhere. Adults and children. Come fast,' one horrified onlooker told an emergency dispatcher shortly after the collision on Commerce Avenue in Las Vegas last Saturday. 'Oh my God. My God! Get down, it’s a kid, it’s a kid, Don’t look!' another 911 caller said in Spanish.(Snip)Police said the horror crash was caused by Gary Robinson, 59, a career criminal with a lengthy history of speeding charges, who blew through a red light at 100mph and smashed
Conservative lawmakers in Iowa are pushing to have cameras installed in public school classrooms to allow parents to watch via livestreams—as the debate over critical race theory continues to rage. The lawmakers introduced the bill this week that would see cameras put in almost every K-12 classroom, with the exception of physical education and special needs classes. Teachers who fail to keep the camera recording, or obstruct its view, could be fined up to 5 percent of their weekly salary each time they are caught doing it, according to the bill.(Snip)Florida recently introduced a similar bill to have cameras and microphones installed in public school classrooms.

Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that it was Congress's fault President Biden could not fulfill his promise on immigration reform. In an interview with Noticias Telemundo, Biden's 'root causes' immigration czar was asked: 'Elections are in a couple months' time. I'm sure you are aware the border is going to be an issue, also President Biden promised immigration reform he hasn't been able to deliver. Why would you say Latinos should vote for the Democrats this November?' Harris sidestepped the question, instead saying that 'Congress is not acting' on immigration.(Snip)'The way our democracy works is you need a majority and sometimes in the Senate you need 60
Washington—A wandering chicken was caught sneaking around a security area at the Pentagon, a local animal welfare organization said.
The loose hen was found early Monday morning near the U.S. Department of Defense headquarters, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, Virginia, wrote on social media. "Apparently, the answer to 'why did the chicken cross the road' is to get to the Pentagon," the group posted.(Snip)The hen—which has brown feathers and a red comb and wattles—is a Rhode Island Red.

The former director of financial aid at Reynolds Community College was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday on charges of orchestrating a scheme spanning eight years that defrauded Virginia and the U.S. Department of Education of $379,608 in federal and state student loan funds. Keisha Lashawn Pope, 47, is accused of using her access to Reynolds’ financial aid systems to boost the financial aid eligibility for several co-conspirators—her son, her former fiancé, her goddaughter and a cousin—who were not eligible for aid at the college, authorities said. The 10-count indictment alleges that Pope had kickback agreements in place with the co-conspirators to receive roughly
A slain young Central Park carriage driver took one final horse-drawn ride to his Brooklyn funeral.

A new super-mutant HIV strain that makes infected individuals ill twice as fast as current versions of the virus has been detected in the Netherlands. The new mutant—called the VB variant—has infected at least 109 people, according to a study by Oxford University.
The strain damages the immune system and weakens a person's ability to fight everyday infections and disease faster than previous versions of the virus. It means those who catch this strain could develop AIDS more quickly. The VB variant also has a viral load between 3.5 and 5.5 times higher than the current strain, meaning infected people are more likely to transmit the virus
A secretive liberal dark-money juggernaut spent more than a billion dollars in 2020 to help President Biden win the White House, take the US Senate and hold the US House of Representatives. This group, Arabella Advisors, isn’t a household name, but if there is a liberal cause that you’ve heard of, Arabella is likely funding it. And now the group is turning its attention to the Supreme Court.(Snip)With its base of billionaire donors including Bill and Melinda Gates, Pierre Omidyar and Hansjörg Wyss, the Arabella network doles out money to hundreds of stand-alone organizations across the country, as well as the liberal pop-up groups they establish

Facebook lost daily users for the first time in its 18-year history which CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes was caused by the TikTok boom.'People have a lot of choices for how they want to spend their time, and apps like TikTok are growing very quickly,' Zuckerberg said during an earnings call Wednesday, according to the Washington Post.Facebook reported a drop of nearly 500,000 in daily logins during the last three months of 2021.

FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed the FBI is working just as hard to punish participants in the 2020 George Floyd riots as those involved in the Capitol riot, though neither the numbers nor his own boss's words seem to back him up. Wray made the improbable claim in response to questions during an appearance earlier this week at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. “I mean, absolutely," Wray said. "We have one standard, which is, I don’t care whether you’re upset about an election, upset about our criminal justice system, whatever it is you’re upset about, there is a right way and a wrong way to express what you’re upset
Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech in Florida Friday and pushed back against claims from former President Trump and his supporters that he had the ability to use his power to contest the 2020 presidential election. "There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject electoral college votes," Pence said in the speech to the Federalist Society. "And this week, our former president said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong…I had no right to overturn the election."Pence continued,

Is the dam finally breaking on maintaining the fantasy that trans women do not have an inherent advantage over biological females in competitive sports?
Sixteen members of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team sent a letter to the school and to the Ivy League, asking them not to take legal action that would challenge the new NCAA rules for transgender athletes to compete. The new rules would make it very difficult for their trans teammate, Lia Thomas, to compete as a female.

President Joe Biden will launch a slate of new actions Thursday aimed at combating rising crime and gun violence in major metropolitan areas across the country.
Biden will announce the new programs during a visit to New York City on Thursday with Mayor Eric Adams and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul."The President is committed to serving as a strong partner for communities on the frontlines of the fight against crime.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday urged US athletes competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics to keep mum on China’s human rights abuses because the country’s government is “ruthless.”Pelosi issued the warning during testimony at a Congressional-Executive Commission on China. She acknowledged the US has a moral obligation to condemn the rights violations – but insisted the Olympic games were not the proper venue for athletes to voice their concerns.“If we do not speak out against human rights violations in China, because of commercial interests, we lose all moral authority to speak out against human rights violations anywhere,” Pelosi said.
