Black City Manager Fired For Saying Officer Who Shot Duante Wright Deserves ‘Due Process’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former City Manager Curt Boganey of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which borders Minneapolis, was let go on Monday after he publicly stated that the police officer who fatally shot Duante Wright should receive “due process” and a full investigation instead of being fired immediately.

“Effective immediately our city manager has been relieved of his duties, and the deputy city manager will be assuming his duties moving forward. I will continue to work my hardest to ensure good leadership at all levels of our city government,” Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott wrote on Twitter after all but one of the City Council members voted to oust Boganey. One councilwoman, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, said she “didn’t want repercussions at a personal level” if she voted to keep Boganey.

Elliott announced Boganey’s dismissal after the city manager refused to comply with the mayor’s public plea for police officer Kim Potter to be fired after she reportedly fired her gun instead of using her taser on Wright during a traffic stop.

Here’s How Many Voters Still Think Cheating Affected 2020 Election; Students Support Voting Bill, Then Blow a Gasket When They Learn It’s Actually Georgia’s Law (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Dozens of legal cases challenged the results of the 2020 presidential election in the U.S., and some are unresolved.

A new poll indicates a majority of likely voters still believe cheating “likely” affected the outcome.

Rasmussen Reports said Tuesday 51% of voters believe it is like that cheating affected the outcome, including 35% who say it’s very likely.

“Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans believe it is likely last year’s presidential election was affected by cheating, a view shared by 30% of Democrats and 51% of voters not affiliated with either major party,” the report said.

Further, most voters “say it’s more important to prevent cheating in elections than to make it easier to vote and, by more than a two-to-one margin, they reject claims that voter ID laws are discriminatory.” (Read more from “Majority Of Voters Still Think Cheating Affected 2020 Election” HERE)

Amidst widespread misinformation regarding the new Georgia voting law, Campus Reform ran an experiment — describe parts of the bill to students around Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and get their reactions.

The results made it clear how little those who oppose the Georgia law actually know what it contains.

GOP Senator: Biden’s ‘Infrastructure’ Plan Is ‘Green New Deal In Disguise’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration and congressional Democrats are struggling to sell the $2 trillion dollar infrastructure package that they hope to pass. Similar to the recently-passed COVID relief package, the bill is filled with spending line items completely unrelated to infrastructure; if passed, the package would also raise taxes in order to fund the legislation on the backs of taxpayers.

Republican lawmakers are overwhelmingly united in opposing the Biden administration’s proposal, arguing that Americans are not in favor of the “liberal wish list” included in the legislation. The bill includes provisions to fund parts of the Green New Deal, as Senate Republican Conference Chair John Barrasso (R-WY) argued on Tuesday.

Destroying Women’s Sports: NCAA ‘Unequivocally Supports’ Transgender Athletes Participation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, the country’s largest organization regulating college athletics, announced this week that it “firmly and unequivocally supports” the inclusion of transgender athletes in college sports competitions.

The announcement comes as Republican-controlled legislatures in multiple states around the country consider legislation banning transgender individuals who are biologically male from competing in women’s sports. Proponents of the legislation argue that to allow such individuals to participate is “unfair” to female athletes.

However, in a statement issued Monday, the NCAA insisted its dedication to including transgender athletes in women’s sports is for the purpose of producing “fair competition.”

“The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports. This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition,” the statement said.

The organization cited a policy implemented in 2010, which “requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports,” as a means to provide a “more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports.” (Read more from “Destroying Women’s Sports: NCAA ‘Unequivocally Supports’ Transgender Athletes Participation” HERE)

An 11-month-girl was killed and two other young girls were injured in a drive-by shooting in upstate New York, police said.

Dior Harris was just weeks away from her first birthday when she was shot multiple times shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday while in the backseat of the car in Syracuse, CNY Central reported.

“She was just a baby,” her mom, Desiree Seymore, told the outlet. “She was so strong. She didn’t even cry when it happened, but we lost her.”

Seymore and her cousin, Shakema Buckmon, had been driving with their daughters when someone opened fire from a car headed in the opposite direction, Syracuse.com reported.

“They just started, ‘pow, pow, pow,’ just started shooting at my car, and then just drove away,” Buckmon told CNY Central. (Read more from “11-Month-Girl Shot Dead In Drive-by Shooting” HERE)

Trump Mocks SCOTUS, Predicts Court-Packing From Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump released a statement Monday in which he lamented the U.S. Supreme Court’s lack of courage “to do what they should have done” and predicted court-packing.

Trump repeated his unfounded claims about the “Great Presidential Election Fraud of 2020,” saying it would be ironic if the Supreme Court got “PACKED” by the “the Radical Left Democrats” whom he claimed the “politically correct Supreme Court” catered to.

“Now there is a very good chance they will be diluted (and moved throughout the court system so that they can see how the lower courts work), with many new Justices added to the Court, far more than has been reported,” Trump speculated. “There is also a good chance that they will be term-limited.”

“Our politically correct Supreme Court will get what they deserve—an unconstitutionally elected group of Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country,” the statement reads.

Use Of This COVID Vaccine Has Been Halted Due to People Developing Blood Clots

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration put a cautionary pause on the use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine Tuesday after a handful of recipients developed “rare and severe” blood clots.

Only 6 out of the nearly 7 million Americans who received Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine developed the blood clots, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration recommended the pause “out of an abundance of caution” in a joint statement Tuesday morning.

“In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia),” Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC and Dr. Peter Marks, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research said in the statement. “All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.” (Read more from “Use Of This COVID Vaccine Has Been Halted Due to People Developing Blood Clots” HERE)

Iran Responds to Alleged Sabotage, To Begin Enriching Uranium At Highest Ever Level Of 60%, Moving Closer to Weapons-Grade Capabilities

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to an Iranian negotiator on Tuesday, Iran will begin enriching uranium to 60% purity, which greatly exceeds its current level of 20%, placing one of the world’s biggest state sponsors of terrorism within reach of the 90% enrichment required for weapons-grade capabilities.

The announcement is an apparent response to an alleged attack on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility by Israel, with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stating, “The Zionists want to take revenge because of our progress in the way to lift sanctions… We will not fall into their trap…We will not allow this act of sabotage to affect the nuclear talks. … But we will take our revenge against the Zionists.”

“The announcement marks a significant escalation after the sabotage, suspected of having been carried out by Israel. It could result in further action by Israel, whose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed never to allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon, and further raise tensions across the Mideast,” reported CBS News.

“We believe that this round of negotiations is the time for the U.S. to present a list. I hope that I can go back to Tehran with the list of sanctions that will be lifted,” nuclear negotiator Abbas Araghchi said in Vienna, where the talks have been taking place. “Otherwise, I don’t believe we can continue like this. Otherwise, I believe this would be a waste of time.” (Read more from “Iran Responds to Alleged Sabotage, To Begin Enriching Uranium At Highest Ever Level Of 60%, Moving Closer to Weapons-Grade Capabilities” HERE)

Spotify Quietly Deletes Controversial ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ Episodes

/0 Comments/in /by

The streaming music service has been quietly removing episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” from their platform, according to Digital Music News — including as many as 42 interviews featuring a variety of controversial characters, including former Breitbart news editor Milo Yiannopoulos, Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and comedian Chris D’Elia, who was accused of “grooming” underage girls and soliciting pornographic images.

Spotify has not produced a statement to clarify the action, but Variety has reported on a number of nixed episodes that featured controversial subject matter.

Scientifically tenuous content was also subject to removal. For example, Rogan’s talks with Bulletproof Coffee founder Dave Asprey, the self-proclaimed “father of biohacking,” have also disappeared, DMN reports. Asprey has been criticized in the past for touting a high-fat diet regimen without thoroughly researched support from doctors and other health experts.

Episodes featuring conspiracy theorist Alex Jones have also vanished, though it comes as no surprise since Spotify had already deleted several episodes of Jones’ “Infowars” podcast back in 2018, alleging that the show gave a platform to hate speech.

Veteran Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright Was Training Rookie; Biden: ‘No Justification For Looting, Violence’ Amid Protests

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. The police officer who shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright at a traffic stop on Sunday in a Minneapolis suburb was training a junior officer at the time.

The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association revealed that Kimberly Potters, the police officer who can be seen on video shooting Wright when she said she believed she was using a Taser, had a rookie officer riding alongside her.

“She’s just a very dedicated, passionate, good person. It’s completely devastating,” officers association head Brian Peters said. “In a very tense moment, she made a mistake. It’s not her character.”

Potters was a police officer for 26 years before being placed on administrative leave for her role in Wright’s death. (Read more from “Veteran Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright Was Training Rookie” HERE)

Biden: ‘No Justification For Looting, Violence’ Amid Protests

By Newsweek. President Joe Biden made a brief statement on the unrest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota sparked by the fatal police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright while meeting with a bipartisan group of Congress members to discuss the administration’s infrastructure and jobs plan on Monday. Biden said that peaceful protests were “understandable,” but there was “no justification” for looting and violence that was seen on Sunday night.

Wright, a Black man, died Sunday after he was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb. Outrage quickly gripped the city in the wake of the shooting, with many gathering to hold peaceful protests against the police. However, many also turned to looting, vandalizing dozens of stores in Brooklyn Center and the surrounding areas.

“I want to make it clear again: there is absolutely no justification—none—for looting. No justification for violence. Peaceful protest? Understandable,” Biden told reporters on Monday in response to the situation. (Read more from “Biden: ‘No Justification For Looting, Violence’ Amid Protests” HERE)
