A 72-year-old Maryland woman was shoved to the ground Friday in an apparently unprovoked attack. Cyndi Gradwell had just arrived in the city with her two daughters when she was pushed by a man walking alongside her on Ninth Avenue, cops say. Surveillance video of the incident shows Gradwell walking north between 35th and 36th streets, trailing a pink rolling suitcase behind her. She walks around a man in a large white coat, who turns toward her. The man’s hands are blocked from the camera’s view, but he walks toward her and she tumbles to the ground.(Snip) Windield has a slew of priors, including an assault arrest

Doha, Qatar—Rainbow flags could be taken from fans at the World Cup in Qatar to protect them from being attacked for promoting gay rights, a senior leader overseeing security for the tournament told The Associated Press. Major General Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Ansari insisted that LGBTQ couples would be welcomed and accepted in Qatar for the Nov. 21-Dec. 18 FIFA showpiece despite same-sex relations remaining criminalized in the conservative Gulf nation. But Al Ansari is against the overt promotion of LGBTQ freedoms as symbolized by the rainbow flag that FIFA and World Cup organizers had previously said would be welcome across Qatar’s eight stadiums.

Smartly dressed in a navy print blouse and a chunky resin necklace: this is the child welfare boss whose social workers sent five of the traumatized Turpin children to live with an alleged pedophile.
Charity Douglas, 50, has run the Riverside County Children's Services Division since September 2018 when her predecessor was forced out over an abuse case that saw a 13-year-old girl repeatedly raped and left pregnant by her mother's boyfriend.

Detroit—New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to average at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday that undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its new fuel economy requirements are the strongest to date and the maximum the industry can achieve over the time period. They will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards. They're expected to decrease carbon dioxide emissions—but not as much as some environmentalists want—and raise new vehicle prices

Hunter Biden would likely have been indicted before the 2020 presidential election if he were “anybody else,” a former high-ranking federal prosecutor said Friday—after a report said a probe into the first son’s overseas business dealings was far from over.
Ex-Utah US Attorney Brett Tolman told “Fox & Friends” that “the US attorney in Delaware… has had this case for a long time.” “Anybody else in this country, we would have seen these indictments probably before the election,” Tolman said. Tolman also said testimony from former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinksi and various emails raised the possibility that President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, first brother James Biden

The Transportation Security Administration is spending more than $18.6 million of taxpayer money to update airport screening protocols and technology to be more inclusive of transgender, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming passengers. A large portion of the money is going to develop and deploy new gender-neutral body scanner technology throughout the nation’s airports. The TSA hopes the new technology will help reduce the pat-downs and other invasive screen procedures that are required when transgender individuals trigger body scanners “in a sensitive area.” “Over the coming months, TSA will move swiftly to implement more secure and efficient screening processes that are gender-neutral, as well as technological updates

America's coronavirus tsar, Dr. Anthony Fauci, silenced any discussion about COVID being caused by a lab leak—and not through animal-to-human transmission—after helping a controversial scientist get millions in federal funding to study bats, a Vanity Fair investigation has revealed. Analyzing more than 100,000 leaked documents, the magazine claimed that Fauci's approval of Peter Daszak helped his nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance, an organization dedicated to shielding society from emerging infectious diseases, to develop the COVID-19 virus in a laboratory in China. They also claim researchers associated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including Daszak, tried to hide evidence about the pandemic’s early spread as lab leak hypotheses

McFadden left, but returned at about 1 p.m. Wednesday with a gas can and attacked the female clerk by dousing her with fuel she “panhandled” before throwing matches at her and setting her on fire, sheriff’s officials said. A second gas station employee was also burned while helping

Go on, take a guess at who would do such a thing. The professional loudmouth reverends, with megaphones and soapboxes ready when it suits them, have said nothing about the endless stream of senseless and practically indescribable acts of cruelty arising from the community they claim to lead, day in and day out, with much of it targeted at other races. And the many acts of contrition made on the nation's behalf, including Juneteemph, playing the bLACK National Anthem before sports games, tearing down statues, allowing uncontrolled rioting, you name it, have had a negative effect if anything.
