The New York Times was slammed online over a crossword puzzle hint for the word 'greed' as they referred to it as a vice linked to capitalism. On Tuesday's crossword, the Times had the clue 'vice encouraged by capitalism,' to which the answer was greed, causing an uproar as people accused the paper for stoking anti-capitalism sentiments while at the same time profiting off the system. On Twitter, journalist Clifford May, a former Times writer, tweeted, 'Years ago, when I worked there, it was a great newspaper. If it stays on the current trajectory it won't be a newspaper at all. Just another propaganda outlet.'

Fresh suspicion that Covid may have been tinkered with in a lab emerged today after scientists found genetic material owned by Moderna in the virus's spike protein. They identified a tiny snippet of code that is identical to part of a gene patented by the vaccine maker three years before the pandemic. It was discovered in SARS-CoV-2's unique furin cleavage site, the part that makes it so good at infecting people and separates it from other coronaviruses.(Snip)They claim there is a one-in-three-trillion chance Moderna's sequence randomly appeared through natural evolution.

Two prosecutors heading the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s probe into the Trump Organization called it quits on Wednesday–throwing the case into question. The resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne were first reported by The New York Times. A source confirmed to The Post that the prosecutors jointly stepped down. The source stressed that the coordinated nature of the departures was a sign of intense frustration with the direction of the case.

When COVID vaccines first became available in January of last year to more than 4 million people, there was a stampede for appointments. Frustrated residents spent hours scouring dozens of vaccine provider websites, trying to secure a coveted slot.

Boston—America’s first newspaper dedicated to advocating for the end of slavery is being resurrected and reimagined more than two centuries later as the nation continues to grapple with its legacy of racism.

President Joe Biden hit Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy with a dose of sarcasm after the reporter yelled and asked the president if he 'underestimated Putin.' 'The thing I love about the press is they're always on message,' Biden said at a Tuesday afternoon minerals event with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and climate adviser Gina McCarthy.

This past week, the French Government began deactivating the vaccine passports of nearly four million double-vaxxed citizens because they still have not taken the booster, according to France News 24. Individuals who have had their passes taken away will effectively be relegated to unvaxxed status and no longer be able to engage in most aspects of society.(Snip)France has repeatedly changed the time allowed to receive a booster since the third jab was announced. At first, people had 6 months to take the extra shot, then it dropped to just 3 months, then 7. Currently, the booster must be taken in 4 months for the vax pass
Federal officials warned Tuesday that as much as $80 billion in unemployment benefits could have fraudulently gone to cybercriminals and international crime rings. Officials from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Secret Service say improper accountability measures at the federal and state levels aided the fraud throughout the coronavirus pandemic.(Snip)International syndicates and cyberhackers quickly set up fake profiles, using pilfered personal information, to steal billions from the federal government. Much of the tactics were already well known to law enforcement agencies since cybercriminals had previously used them to bilk money from disaster relief programs. The criminals had previously not targeted unemployment because of the small nature
US home prices saw their biggest increase in at least 34 years in 2021, according to data released Tuesday, as buyers spent the year snapping up homes and builders struggled to keep up. Home prices surged 18.8 percent last year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller US National Home Price index, the biggest jump since its creation and much more than the 10.4 percent jump seen in 2020.
Fueled by remote work and booming regional economies, mass migration to the South, Southwest and Mountain West drove some of the sharpest increases in home prices, as demand outstripped supply. The biggest increase in home prices took place in Phoenix,

Rosie and I met close to 15 years ago. She was introduced to one of my friends and remained on the periphery of our friendship circle for a really long time. She would be in a relationship when I wasn't in one and I'd be in a relationship when she was single.
I was a wild, unruly, beer-drinking football player and she was incredibly mature, really amazing and a total babe. She had her life together and it felt like she was completely out of my league.

There is always a tweet, so says the online aphorism, developed during the chaotic Trump years, that now seems to hold true across administrations and perhaps even with increased significance after a Russian strongman decided to invade an eastern European neighbor over the holiday weekend.

And the tweet, well, that came from Joe Biden.It was sent February 21, 2020, and Biden, or someone on the Biden campaign, wrote: “Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President.

WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas drilling on federal land and other energy-related actions after a federal court blocked the way officials were calculating the real-world costs of climate change. The administration said in a legal filing that a Feb. 11 ruling by a Louisiana federal judge will affect dozens of rules by at least four federal agencies. Among the immediate effects is an indefinite delay in planned oil and gas lease sales on public lands in a half-dozen states in the West, including Wyoming, Montana and Utah. The ruling also will delay plans

Because of the egocentrism and megalomania of the current ruling class, our country is inexorably and stealthily marching toward a tyrannical one-party socialist oligarchy beholden to a globalist agenda. These elites, in their determination to achieve political and societal status in perpetuity, are willingly allied with the relatively small number of true believers in their midst whose sole focus is to transform America into another failed socialist nation.
