Having left Walter Reed hospital after a three-day stint recovering from the coronavirus, President Donald Trump began, what aides and confidants say is, a new phase of the presidential campaign: an effort to turn his illness into an electoral asset. The president’s stint in the Military Medical Center may have raised serious questions about his political future and his physical status, with doctors giving him a trio of therapeutics and his physician acknowledging that he is not yet out of the woods. But during his time away from the White House, Trump spent his weekends frantically working the phones, compulsively watching […]

Things quickly got awkward during Monday afternoon’s broadcast of Fox News panel show Outnumbered when anchor Harris Faulkner mistook co-host Pete Hegseth’s first-person account of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis as his own, wishing Hegseth a “speedy recovery from COVID-19.” Discussing the president’s hospitalization due to coronavirus and his dangerous Sunday afternoon joyride to reassure supporters he was recovering from the disease, Hegseth brushed off concerns about the White House doctors misleading the public on the dangers of Trump’s illness. “The top-line thought is we didn’t know initially how serious the prognosis was and what the developments would look like,” he […]
Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard invoked the ire of her own base for siding with the conservative news organization Project Veritas, over claims of alleged ballot-harvesting voter fraud linked to Representative Ilhan Omar. Gabbard tweeted on Monday that the allegations against Omar made by the investigative undercover news group were “further evidence of the need to ban ballot harvesting.” Such practice is also called ‘ballot collecting’ and involves third parties gathering mail-in ballots and delivering them to election officials. It is legal in some states, and is aimed at helping physically impaired voters. In Minnesota, Omar’s home state, one can have no […]
On September 11, 2017, Jemele Hill tweeted, “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounding himself w/ other white supremacists.” And, even though the 99-character pronouncement came a few weeks after Trump referred to a group of white nationalist protesters as “very fine people,” pearls were firmly clutched. A vocal faction of conservatives, including the president and his then-press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, called on ESPN to fire Hill. They publicly censured her instead, calling Hill’s actions “inappropriate” and strong-arming the SC6 co-host into issuing a half-hearted apology to the Worldwide Leader. Five months—and one tweet criticizing Cowboys’ owner […]

Microsoft has emerged as the main bidder for TikTok while […]
Labour MP Dawn Butler, who is a strong critic of police stop-and-search tactics, said that she was “angry and annoyed” after being stopped by Metropolitan Police officers in the London borough of Hackney. Butler said that since being elected as a member of Parliament she has been stopped by police numerous times. Labour MP Dawn Butler believes that she was a victim of racial profiling after being stopped by Metropolitan police officers while driving with a friend through east London on Sunday afternoon.

A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet, garnering tens of millions of views on Facebook on Monday alone. Donald Trump Jr. declared the video of Stella Immanuel a “must watch,” while Donald Trump himself retweeted the video. Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including those about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams. Immanuel, a pediatrician and a […]
A man who crossed into North Korea and put the city of Kaesong on high alert because he had symptoms resembling coronavirus is unlikely to have been a transmitter of the deadly contagion, Seoul’s health officials have claimed. The man in question – who fled from the North three years ago – returned to his homeland on July 19. He reportedly showed up in Kaesong, his home city, and on-site medical screening returned “uncertain results,” Pyongyang’s state media reported. Fearing that he could become North Korea’s patient zero, the authorities immediately called a meeting to address an emergency “that may lead […]
After several weeks away from the steaming pile of shit that is the news these days, John Oliver returned to Last Week Tonight to recap our present hellscape. First, he aired a short segment focusing on President Trump’s insane proclamations concerning schools reopening amid a pandemic that has claimed over 140,000 lives, including how the president is presently ignoring CDC guidelines and his health officials in pushing for this, and that he’s threatening to defund schools who don’t obey his demands (thereby cutting education funding for lower-income and developmentally-disabled kids, which is where the bulk of the federal money goes). The […]
A Wisconsin man was charged on Thursday with a hate crime killing after he swerved his pickup truck to purposely hit a retired police officer on his motorcycle because he believe Harley Drivers are “white racists.” Daniel Navarro swerved his truck and hit Phillip Thiessen head on. Theissen, a retired police officer, was found dead in the road.

Old social media posts written by Black Lives Matter co-founder Toronto Yusra Khogali are making the rounds this week. Yusra Khogali in 2016 wrote “white people are a genetic defect of blackness” in a since-deleted Facebook post. “Whiteness is not humxness,” Khogali wrote in a Facebook post. “in fact, white skin is sub-humxn.” “White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” she said. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race […]

At one point in his Independence Day speech, the president spoke about victories achieved by Americans in the past. Users on Twitter have been left in doubt following US President Donald Trump’s Independence Day speech, as it was not very clear at one point whether the president made a “substantive error”. While remarking about victories by the US military in “battlefields across the world”, Trump spoke about the air show, scheduled to start as […]

Now, Nepal’s government has reportedly found a peculiar way to get rid of swarms of the famine-causing insects. American heavy metal music can apparently kill the desert locusts that have been endangering food security in South Asia, Nepalese Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development Ghanshyam Bhusal suggested during a press conference at Sindhulimadhi, according to DGS Media. “I have been told on the phone […]
The legendary heavyweight boxer and anti-war/civil rights activist was an outspoken proponent of racial equality, but also famously distanced himself from all forms of bigotry, whether by white or by black Americans, by splitting with the Nation of Islam. Muhammad Ali Jr says his father would have hated Black Lives Matter and the violent protests which have gripped America in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer. “My father would have said, ‘they ain’t nothing but devils’. My father said ‘all lives matter’. I don’t think he’d agree,” Ali Jr, the boxing legend’s only biological […]
The United States, as well as many major cities around the world, are witnessing an ongoing wave of demonstrations against racism and police brutality in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and many other African-Americans who have died at the hands of white police. Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and spouse of the UK’s Prince Harry, feels that her “gnawing urgency to uproot from England” and move to the United States now makes sense, as the former royal believes she is “’destined” to assist in ending systemic racism in the US, the Daily Mail reported on Friday, citing […]

The CIA is the second Western intelligence agency to accuse China of trying to cover up the gravity of the coronavirus outbreak. Last week, German media reported that the federal intelligence service believes Xi Jinping had personally attempted to keep the world unaware of human-to-human virus transmission. Both China and the WHO deny a cover-up. A CIA report claims that China had tried to stop the World Health Organisation from issuing a global warning on the coronavirus, according to Newsweek. Although the assessment hasn’t been published, its contents were confirmed to the outlet by intelligence officials. It allegedly holds that China threatened […]
