Yemen's Houthis have vowed to expand their attacks on international shipping and have claimed to have new hypersonic missiles that could dodge the West's defence systems. The Houthis having hypersonic missiles, if true, could raise the stakes in the ongoing attacks by the terrorist group on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways in protest of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. The new weapons - which could potentially evade the West's defence system due to their speed and maneuverability - were reported by Russian state media, which cited an unnamed official, but provided no evidence for the Houthi claim.

In Paris, 163 heads of schools have made a public protest about the threats to their safety made by “aggressive” Muslim parents. The heads of school, and their teachers, are terrified. They remember the decapitation of Samuel Paty, who had dared to show his pupils — though telling Muslim students they need not remain in the classroom while it was being shown — a single cartoon of Muhammad, as part of a discussion on free speech. Paty’s executioner was not even a parent, but just a Muslim who had heard about his supposed “blasphemy.”

Planet Fitness has refused to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in the female locker room.

Leprosy is caused by two different but similar bacteria — Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis — the latter having just been identified in 2008. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is avoidable. Transmission among the most vulnerable in society, including migrant and impoverished populations, remains a pressing issue.
This age-old neglected tropical disease, which is still present in more than 120 countries, is now a growing challenge in parts of North America.
Leprosy is beginning to occur regularly within parts of the southeastern United States. Most recently, Florida has seen a heightened incidence of leprosy, accounting for many of the newly diagnosed cases in the U.S.
India has implemented a citizenship law that excludes migrants who are Muslims, a minority community whose concerns have heightened under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.

'It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. This impeachment is over.'

This story is worse than it sounds. And while that’s true of nearly everything this administration does, it’s truly true here.

The letter that Brown sent the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Election Assistance Commission (EAC) with 32 colleagues seeks information about AI’s use to use intimidate, threaten, or misinform voters during the 2024 election cycle.
New York City shelters are overwhelmed with migrants.
Many of them have arrived in Texas or Florida and then taken buses to New York, where shelter and benefits are guaranteed. However, the city is scrambling as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which includes housing and work.
But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity.

The latest “contemporary” sculpture to be unveiled in London’s Trafalgar Square has sparked an uproar, with critics slamming the cartoonish figure as “hideous political trash.”
The square has been home to many art installations over the decades, with the Fourth Plinth featuring a rotating cast of artworks every few years since 1999. Detractors aren’t surprised that the sculpture has been changed, but that the latest replacement doesn’t appear to represent native Londoners.Lady in Blue is a sculpture of a black woman with abstract proportions, including strangely long arms and very pronounced buttocks and legs.

Mendacity and Corruption in the Judiciary
21 replies
Something is seriously wrong with American law schools and the disciplinary outfits that are supposed to monitor corrupt conduct of practitioners. You can see the effects of this degradation in the outrageous behavior of government prosecutors and in the judiciary, which ignores its responsibility to decide fairly and without bias. We are churning out dishonest, corrupt lawyers and judges who are more than willing to look the other way at such behavior, condoning the most obvious selective partisan prosecutions. As the awareness of the failure of the judicial system grows,
“Marriage fundamentalism” advances “white supremacy,” according to a George Mason University professor.
“I theorize that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family. (snip) Letiecq employs “critical family theorizing…to delineate an overarching orientation to structural oppression and unequal power relations that advantages [white heteropatriarchal nuclear families] and marginalizes others as a function of marriage fundamentalism.”

Chances Against Trump, 'Seething' Behind

There's new reporting about Joe Biden, and it's not looking good from inside the campaign.
According to the report from NBC, Biden is "angry and anxious about his reelection effort." Nearly 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials, and Biden allies, dished on his anger about Trump leading him in the polls.
When he found out that his numbers were dropping, he was "seething." That's why he's now throwing Israel and Netanyahu under the bus, and doing all he can to try to appeal to the left to get them back into the fold.
The polls have left him frustrated and questioning the travel and communication strategies.
