Colorado officials are probing a suspected case of monkeypox in a 'young' gay or bisexual man who has recently returned from Canada—with the state becoming the eighth to report a presumptive case of the virus. Local health chiefs revealed late Thursday that the individual came to a clinic in the Denver area—the state's biggest city—suffering symptoms of the virus. The patient—who has not been named—is now isolating at home and contact tracing is underway. The risk the virus has spread to others is believed to be 'low'.(Snip) The vast majority of infections are in gay and bisexual men, and most are thought to be linked

Five of the city’s largest LGBTQ clubs are boycotting a Pride Month reception that Mayor Adams plans to host next week over what they see as his insufficient commitment to gay rights. Led by the Stonewall Democrats of New York City, the boycott of the June 7 reception at Gracie Mansion comes in response to Adams’ decision to hire two Christian pastors for senior roles in his administration despite their histories of anti-gay views. In a lengthy statement, Stonewall Democrats and three of the other boycotting groups, Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn, Lesbian and Gay Democratic Club of Queens and Equality New York, said Adams’ appointees are “reinforcing the violent
Nashville, Tenn.—The CMA Fest is prohibiting any Confederate flag imagery at its four-day festival, following similar bans at other country music festivals. In a statement provided to The Tennessean, the Country Music Association said the decision to enact the policy this year was based on the personal safety of fans and to prevent discrimination. “This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated,”
The federal government will review whether the Food and Drug Administration properly inspected the Abbott Laboratories baby formula plant in Michigan whose closure over unsanitary conditions caused a nationwide shortage that left the Biden administration unprepared. The Department of Health and Human Services inspector general’s office will conduct the review that is expected to conclude sometime next year, the agency said in a statement Thursday. “We will review FDA’s actions leading up to the infant formula recall at the Abbott facility in February 2022 to determine whether FDA followed applicable policies and procedures to: (1) conduct inspections of the manufacturing facility and (2) oversee Abbott’s initiation of the infant
The White House's chief Covid coordinator said Thursday that jabs for children as young as six months old could be available as early June 21 if applications for the shots are approved by regulators in the coming weeks. Dr Ashish Jha, who was recently appointed as the White House's COVID-19 response coordinator, said during a briefing that shots for the youngest eligible Americans could be rolling out in only three weeks. His statements come on the back of Pfizer, manufacturer of America's most popular vaccine and the only one to be available to those aged five to 17 in the U.S., announcing Wednesday night that it has completed its application
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn't say on Thursday why President Joe Biden wasn't informed about the baby formula shortage until April as she again struggled to answer question about the administration's response to the crisis.
Jean-Pierre was quizzed repeatedly during her daily press briefing on what the president knew, when he knew it, and who exactly told him. And she gave evasive answers, saying it was 'senior staff' who went through 'regular channels' to deliver the information.
Her lack of details prompted one White House correspondent to warn her that the journalists would keep pressing her for specifics.(Snip)It was the second day in a row
Rome—The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See began flying the LGBT rainbow flag Wednesday and tweeted in celebration of Pride Month, an innovation of the Biden administration. This is the second year running in which the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See celebrates Pride Month, after Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a blanket authorization for U.S. diplomatic outposts around the globe to fly the rainbow flag on the same flagpole as the U.S. flag, underscoring support for LGBT rights. “Today is the start of Pride Month,” the embassy stated in its tweet. “The United States respects and promotes the equality and human dignity of all people including
Eleven more people in England have been diagnosed with monkeypox, bringing the cumulative number of UK cases to 207. Announcing the new patients today, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reiterated that most cases have been in gay and bisexual men. Officials said it was 'particularly important' these men are aware of new lesions, rashes or scabs and get in contact with a sexual health clinic.(Snip)Officials said that contact tracing teams had linked the outbreak back to 'gay bars, saunas and the use of dating apps in the UK and abroad'. MailOnline revealed last week the world's biggest gay dating app Grindr had alerted to users of monkeypox symptoms.
A growing number of “family friendly” drag queen story hours and dance performances open to children are becoming a mainstay of June pride month celebrations. The social media account Libs of TikTok has posted dozens of viral tweets over the past weeks showing public schools, libraries, parks, gay nightclubs and even a Florida church including young children in pride events featuring professional drag queens. On Wednesday, Libs of TikTok shared flyers for the San Antonio Zoo’s second annual “Night Out at the Zoo” on June 17—a “family-friendly ticketed event for all ages” that will feature performances by the cross-dressing Extravagrams. “Drag has even come to zoos,”
Annandale—A few dozen high school students walked out of class here Wednesday to protest the administration deeming LGBTQ "safe space" signs as too political. While carrying colorful posters and chanting "Queer rights, human rights" and "Love is love," the students marched from the high school to the district offices, where former students and community members joined for a rally in support of the "safe space" signs and the students themselves.(Snip)Earlier this school year, the club designed "safe space" signs with a rainbow behind the school's cardinal logo to show LGBTQ students they are welcome. Staff voluntarily displayed the signs in their classrooms to indicate that could report harassment
A deranged gunman with a rifle and a handgun who killed four people at an Oklahoma medical building targeted a doctor who previously operated on him “and anyone who got in his way,” authorities said Thursday. The gunman, identified as Michael Louis, opened fire at about 5 p.m. Wednesday at an orthopedic office on the second floor of the Natalie Medical Building at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Police Chief Wendell Franklin told reporters at a press conference.
Louis, of Muskogee, went to the hospital on May 19 for back surgery, which was performed by Dr. Preston Phillips. Louis was later released on May 24, Franklin said.
Turkey will now officially be known as Türkiye after the country's government moved to swerve associations with the ground-feeding festive bird and a term for failure. The United Nations will adopt the new name from this week at Ankara's request. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the change came into place 'from the moment' a letter sent by Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
President Erdogan ruled in November that goods manufactured in the country must now be labelled 'Made in Türkiye'. The alternative spelling expresses Turkish people's 'culture, civilisation and values', he said. Türkiye is pronounced Tur-key-yay, in line with how Turks annunciate the country's name.
Kew Gardens, Queens–A symbol of LGBTQ pride and community now adorns the entrance of Queens Borough Hall to commemorate Pride Month.
Elected officials and local advocates were on hand for the rainbow flag unveiling Wednesday, reminding residents of the borough’s pledge to defend basic human rights for all of its residents.
“Regardless of gender, regardless of their sexuality, regardless of how they self-identify, we are here to honor everyone,” said Deputy Queens Borough President Ebony Young.(Snip)“It’s really frustrating and devastating to see how far we have come for LGBTQ rights and to know how far we still need to go for equality,” said Elizabeth Schedl,

True The Vote’s Gregg Phillips announced a new report that is “ten times bigger than Mules” after he and Catherine Engelbrecht presented in-depth evidence of 2020 election ballot trafficking in Yuma and Maricopa Counties on Tuesday afternoon. (snip)
It’s a multinational deal and it involves billions of dollars. There’s irrefutable evidence. We’ve been involved in a major counterintelligence operation that’s very mature in this country involving federal agencies and us. (snip) it’s going to make everybody forget everything about the Mules and it’s going to bring into question everything we think we know about these elections, everything. I can say that with 100 percent certainty.
President Biden said the Second Amendment is "not absolute" in a speech Thursday following a wave of mass shootings across the nation, pleading with to Congress to pass what he called "commonsense" gun control legislation, including reinstating an assault weapons ban, requiring background checks, and limiting magazine capacity.
The president, speaking from the Cross Hall of the White House, told Americans that the issue of restricting access to guns "is one of conscience and common sense."
"For so many of you at home, I want to be very clear – this is not about taking away anyone's guns," the president said. "It is not about vilifying gun owners. In fact,

NASCAR issued an apology Wednesday for “recent actions” that are “not aligned” with its mission after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) waved the green flag ahead of last week’s All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway.
The world-famous auto racing and operating company, headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, marked the first day of LGBTQ+ “Pride Month” with a unique version of the pride flag along with a message apologizing for actions it deemed uncharacteristic of its mission. “As we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, we acknowledge that recent actions have not aligned with NASCAR’s mission to be a welcoming sport for all,” the company wrote.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment
The U.S. Marine Corps went full woke on Wednesday, marking the first day of “Pride Month” with a celebratory image featuring rainbow bullets.
“Throughout June, the USMC [U.S. Marine Corps] takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members,” the U.S. Marine Corps said in a statement posted to social media.
“We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added, using the hashtags #PrideMonth and #USMC. The statement is accompanied by an image of a Marine helmet adorned with six bullets, each a different color, comprising a rainbow:
In Vancouver, Canada, in late May, a Tesla Model Y burst into flames while the driver was waiting for a light at an intersection. He had to kick out a window to escape.
Around the same time, a new Tesla burst into flames in Brooklyn, Illinois, and a week before that a Model 3 caught fire in California City, California, while it was parked in a driveway.
In April, a deadly lithium-ion battery fire occurred in a Tesla car crash in Houston.
Last year, a Tesla caught fire while charging overnight in a garage, which the Washington Post described as “one in a string of recent examples

Former President Donald Trump has signaled he will announce his presidential intentions after the November midterm elections. Yet his record of endorsements is quite mixed. By the sheer numbers of winning primary candidates his stamp of approval is impressive, but in a few of the most important races, not so much.
The disaster that is the Biden Administration has been a godsend for Trump. Had President Joe Biden simply plagiarized the successful Trump agenda, there would have followed no border disaster, no energy crisis, no hyperinflation, and no disastrous flight from Afghanistan.
Had Biden followed through on his "unity" rhetoric, he could have lorded over Trump's successful record as his own,

Amber Heard's lead attorney has spoken out following her stunning civil suit loss and says the actress is unable to pay the $8.35 million in damages she owes Johnny Depp.
Lawyer Elaine Charlson Bredhoft, who represented Heard at trial, appeared on the Today Show on Thursday and said that Heard has 'excellent grounds' to appeal the verdict and plans to do so.
Asked if the Aquaman actress would be able to pay the damages she owes Depp after a jury vindicated his claims that she lied by accusing him of abuse during their marriage, Bredhoft replied: 'No, absolutely not.'
In a new analysis for the Center for Immigration Studies, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I show that the total foreign-born or immigrant population reached 47 million in April 2022 — the highest number ever in American history, and an increase of 2 million in just the first 16 months of the Biden administration. These numbers are extraordinary, not only because they indicate that America has lost control of its borders, but also because they raise profound questions about how many people the country can successfully integrate.
With Joe Biden's polling numbers in the tank and runaway inflation the number one issue on voters' minds, in steps Biden's Treasury Secretary, and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, to take one for the team.
Washington (CNN) US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted Tuesday that she had failed to anticipate how long high inflation would continue to plague American consumers as the Biden administration works to contain a mounting political liability.
"I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take," Yellen told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room"
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) plans to veto tens of millions of dollars that were earmarked for the Tampa Bay Rays after the team released an anti-Second Amendment statement following a couple of recent tragedies. “DeSantis plans to veto a $35 million legislation for a Pasco County facility that’s earmarked for the Tampa Bay Rays’ spring training,” OutKick reported. “DeSantis’s decision is in response to the Rays politicizing recent shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde ahead of a matchup with the Yankees in May.”The decision comes after the Rays published a statement last week saying that the tragedies “have shaken us to the core.”
New York's legislature voted on its last day of session Thursday to ban anyone under the age of 21 from buying or even possessing a semi-automatic rifle.The bill also requires anyone buying a semi-automatic rifle to get a license - which is currently only required in New York State for handguns.But it is just one part of a larger package of gun control measures announced earlier this week by Democratic legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul to bolster New York's already strict gun laws in the wake of a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo.

Good luck with that contact tracing. Let's see, there was a guy in a parking lot, another in a fast food toilet, another next to a dumpster behind a bar, and another in the cab on the way to the hotel. And that's just day one after arriving in town. Notice how with the Chinese Plague, everyone was supposed to wear masks at all times, socially distance, wash our groceries and mail, stay home from school and work and church, and everything else they could come up with. Here's a newly conjured disease, and there's not one thought given to asking homosexuals to stop having disgusting sex with strangers because that's core to their being, especially with Pride Month just a zip away.
