ATLANTA — Movie director Ryan Coogler was briefly handcuffed by Atlanta police after a bank employee mistook him for a robber when he passed her a note while trying to withdraw a large amount of cash from his account. The “Black Panther” director, who is Black, walked into a Bank of America branch Jan. 7 and passed the bank employee a withdrawal slip with a note written on the back asking her to “be discreet when handing him the cash,

This cold story isn't what it seemed to be, and happened in January. Why spike the story? I dunno either.

"Mistaken"?? Heck, he probably has been a bank robber, fits in with standard Black Panther operations in the past.

Sue the bank... They will settle out of court rather than lose all that Atlanta black business.

#1, "Black Panther" in this case refers to the Marvel super-hero movie, which Mr. Coogler directed. This was a cluster all around. If I, a white septuenagarian, were to withdraw $12K from my bank, I would not want that big a cash transaction to come to anyone else's attention either. I hope Mr Coogler receives a large settlement for his humiliation. What this illustrates to me is how supercharged our society has become over any event with a racial component. For this state of affairs I hold the divisive Obama and his minions entirely responsible.

Wish I knew if the note said 'THIS IS A STICKUP' or not. That would be clue for the teller.

A man who self-identified as Ryan Coogler, who is Black, trying to withdraw more than $10,000 from Ryan Coogler's account, a woman bank employee, who is Black, “received an alert notification” from Ryan Coogler's account, while a black Lexus SUV was parked out front with the engine running. Yeah, sure, you betcha, a perfectly innocent combination of circumstances.

The alert notification caught my attention along with his California “identity” card. Um is that a drivers license? Was that his drug dealer waiting in the car?

Anyone with half a brain... no, make that 1/10 of a brain, should no better than to EVER EVER EVER pass a NOTE to a Bank Teller. Regardless of what the note says, bank security seeing this will be put on high alert. The customer can lean over to the teller and quietly say "for my safety, please conduct this withdrawal with discretion". But, frankly, I smell a stunt here.

First of all who needs that much cash oh wait dealers don't use venmo. Second of all, branch banks do NOT like big transactions one time I had to DEPOSIT a large check from a real estate transaction and they were EXTREMELY jittery.

Agree with #10. I know someone who tried to DEPOSIT $10,000 in cash in a local bank and had no end of trouble from the bank. It was perfectly legitimate - he and his wife were housing a foreign friend's daughter for the school year, and the friend paid them a lump sum in cash for their expenses. Years ago, I received a large check from an out of town bank (again for perfectly legal purposes) only to be questioned about the purpose. Now, I do anything over a few thousand dollars with wire transfers. Banks seldom question those.

“The “Black Panther” director, who is Black…”. Well, I thought the director of a black action movie was white. Thanks for letting us know otherwise.

Guy walks into the bank ask for money out of his account, has a withdrawal slip, but the article does not mention that the dude had a mask on. (bank robbers tend to wear mask by the way) and tells tell the bank teller to be discrete. Sounds a lot like a robbery attempt to me. Did the guy have a sign on his mask that says "I am the Black Panther Leader"? No. So how was the teller supposed to know other than it looked suspicious and there is a lot of nefarious activity going on in these crazy times. The guy should have given the teller his ID (given he was masked) along with the withdrawal slip so she could see he was legitimate. This is about equal fault both ways to me.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has been extremely quiet since January 6th, when he presided over an Electoral College objection process that was cut short by his rules decisions. Amid the Capitol uprising that even spurred him to be ushered out by the Secret Service, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Pence must have been partial to the arguments that there were no major irregularities in the 2020 elections. Pence put that presumption to rest today with an op-ed published at the conservative Daily Signal. In the opinion piece, the former vice president weighs in on the “election irregularities”

Dr. Anthony Fauci just spilled the beans: contrary to the implicit promise numerous politicians made that COVID-19 restrictions would only last “until there’s an effective vaccine,” Fauci says the arrival of a vaccine won’t mean life will return to normal, perhaps for more than a year. “If you’re talking about getting back to a degree of normality which resembles where we were prior to COVID, it’s going to be well into 2021, maybe even towards the end of 2021,” said the director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on Friday.

If you are like me, you face each day knowing that some other crazy claim will sweep up millions of uncritical people, people willing to live in a contrafactual and contralegal world. There are too many examples of these waves of lunatic hysteria to recount here but let me note two:  Russiagate and BLM.  Russiagate  Media coverage of the developments debunking the preposterous claim that the President colluded with Russia is both spotty and sparse. There’s a reason for it. Major media almost entirely swallowed the claim, conspired with its promoters, endlessly and prominently mongered it and has never apologized for so doing.

Jussie Smollett, who faked a hate crime against himself in Chicago, was sentenced Thursday. Smollett was found guilty back in December, after he conspired with two men to make it seem as if Trump supporters had attacked him and tied a noose around his neck at 2:00 AM, in the middle of a polar vortex. While he received an initial outpouring of support, including from Vice President Kamala Harris, it quickly became apparent that his story wasn’t adding up. Why was he out after midnight getting a sandwich in sub-zero temperatures? Why didn’t he call the police right away? Why did he leave the noose on until police got there?

Zucker left, Chris Cuomo left, and sundry employees did the same as disgusting allegations of pedophilia came to light.

President Joe Biden announced on Friday he will revoke Russia's 'most favored nation' trade status over its invasion of Ukraine, another step in the series of harsh economic sanctions he and U.S. allies have imposed on Moscow. And he vowed Russian President Vladimir Putin would pay a 'severe price' if he uses chemical weapons in the Ukraine and said U.S. troops would not join the fight as not to provoke World War III. Biden announced Russia's change in status of a trade partner in lockstep with the fellow G7 nations to make it an even heavier burden on Moscow to carry. The move will also deny Russia the ability to borrow money

Conventional wisdom is that the 2022 midterms will be a political bloodbath for the Democrats. For starters, historically speaking, the party in power typically loses seats. But on top of that, Biden’s poor approval ratings are dragging down his entire party, and more than 30 House Democrats have announced their retirements. Nevertheless, during the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting on Thursday, Biden insisted his party could defy history. How? All they’ve got to do is replicate their 2020 enthusiasm. “If we do that, we’re going to keep the House and keep the Senate — and add seats,” he claimed. Good luck with that. I suppose it’s Biden’s job

The flu shot used during the 2021 to 2022 virus season was a poor match and did little to prevent circulation, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report finds. Researchers found that the vaccine only reduced the number of mild influenza by 16 percent, which they do not consider statistically significant. The flu strain that struck America this year was of the H3N2 strain, one of the more dangerous versions of the virus, and the shot was not tailored to the specific version of the virus that ended up emerging. Experts had warned of a brutal flu season this year for months leading up to it,

The 28-year-old AOC-backed candidate facing a run-off against centrist Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar had a long-term affair with her former high school teacher, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Jessica Cisneros was in a sexual relationship with educator-turned-lawyer John Balli, now 51, and called him 'babe' in a 2011 text professing her love when she was 18 — and he was 41. The ultra-liberal would-be Congresswoman began a sexual relationship with him after he began dating his future second wife Sandra Ramirez in May 2011.
