Christella Ntirugiribambe was 22 when her father—a Rwandan national—was abducted from a busy market street in June 2015. He hasn’t been seen since. In the years that followed his abduction in Nairobi, Kenya, she brought up her four siblings in Canada all the while living in the shadow of fear. “When he was alive I felt safe,” she told The Daily Beast. “One of the biggest things I realized after he went was that I wasn’t.” Despite living thousands of miles from Rwanda, she is one of many members of the diaspora living in fear of the Rwandan state. The recent […]

Presidential son Eric Trump apparently thinks that a coronavirus vaccine has been fully developed and his father took it after he caught the virus in order to defeat COVID-19. If you are confused by that, you aren’t alone. Eric Trump appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday morning to discuss President Donald Trump’s return to public events and campaign rallies despite his recent hospitalization for coronavirus. Prior to the younger Trump’s interview, guest host Jonathan Karl told viewers that the White House refused their request to bring on public health experts from the coronavirus task force. “While his physician says the […]
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s father has taken heat on social media after he was photographed shopping without a mask. The PM just recently updated the strict mask-wearing rules amid an uptick in Covid-19 cases. Stanley Johnson, 80, was “caught red-handed” by the Daily Mirror, which published photos of him casually shopping without a mask. By doing so, the author and former Tory politician had flouted the tougher rules on face coverings announced by his son last week. Amid the resurgence of Covid-19, Brits were ordered to wear masks in shops and malls, while the fines for breaking the regulations were […]
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ostensibly came on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show Wednesday night to talk about the upcoming Supreme Court battle and his latest book. Unsurprisingly, that is not what occurred, as the interview quickly devolved into a 20-plus minute shoutfest where the CNN anchor and senator traded increasingly personal barbs, with Cuomo arguably coming out ahead in the end. (If there ever is a winner in these made-for-trainwreck-TV segments.) Early on in the interview, Cuomo asked Cruz about President Donald Trump refusing to condemn white supremacists and right-wing extremists during the Tuesday night presidential debate, prompting the Texas lawmaker to […]
Hours after it was revealed that President Donald Trump intentionally misled the American public about the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed nearly 200,000 lives nationwide, the president explained his actions by saying that he didn’t “want to scare people.” The daughter of a Trump supporter who died from COVID-19 told reporters on Thursday morning that she would rather her father have been frightened than dead. “Sure, my dad did not panic, but instead, he died,” said Kristin Urquiza, founder of Marked By COVID, a group founded in honor of her father, Mark Anthony Urquiza, who died from […]
Golly, I guess Ivanka steals from kids with cancer, too!https://t.co/ph5f3IQ7Aa — MertlewoodOre 🌊 (@mertlewoodOre) September 1, 2020 ABC News: Eric Trump is slamming a Forbes report that alleges his charity, the Eric Trump Foundation, has been funneling donations — from donors who believed the money was going to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — to the Trump Organization by paying high sums for use of Trump properties during fundraisers and redonating some funds to charities friendly with Trump interests.

LONDON—The court hearing that could end in WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange being sent to the United States to face charges over the publication of hundreds of thousands of classified documents finally got underway Monday after a months-long pandemic delay. Crowds crammed together outside the Old Bailey court building in central London where, inside, Assange told the district judge that he he does not consent to being extradited to the U.S. Over the next four weeks, the court will consider whether Assange can be forced to face justice in the U.S., where an 18-count indictment accuses him of recruiting hackers to steal […]
The wife of an Australian Football League star who caused his club to be fined 45,000 Australian dollars for posting a photo from a spa break has spoken of the abuse she received, with her father accusing the league of negligence. Brooke Cotchin, the wife of Richmond captain Trent Cotchin, was caught breaking the league’s strict biosecurity protocols when she posted a photo from a day spa on the Gold Coast earlier this month. Players and club are in an isolation hub as part of an agreement allowing the 2020 AFL season to proceed, and a league investigation led to Richmond receiving the […]
Jacob Blake’s father has questioned the drastically different treatment his son received from Wisconsin police compared to a white suspect accused of opening fire and killing two people who were protesting Blake’s shooting. Blake was shot seven times by Kenosha police officers last Sunday evening as he got into a car with his family. The shooting sparked days of protests in the city and, on Wednesday night, two of those protesters were shot dead. The suspect has been named as white 17-year-old vigilante and Blue Lives Matter fan Kyle Rittenhouse. Jacob Blake Sr. spoke to CNN’s New Day on Friday, and […]
After nearly a year of attacks from President Donald Trump, and months of near-silence as his father fought for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hunter Biden made an appearance in the final minutes of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night. It was his first on the—albeit digital—campaign trail since his work abroad helped spark an impeachment inquiry into the president. In a prerecorded video introducing former Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden appeared alongside sister Ashley Biden to describe the Democratic nominee as both a father and a leader. “He’ll be there when you need him,” Hunter Biden said. “He’ll get […]

In a surprise development, it emerged this week that Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time consort and suspected associate, is secretly married but would not reveal the identity of her husband. Chris Borgerson, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged partner Scott Borgerson, has told reporters he is “afraid to say anything or make any comment” about a possible secret wedding between the two. Chris, who is estranged from his son, told The Daily Mail that Scott, a tech CEO and ocean conservation activist, is a “very private” man. He said that he has no idea whether his son is married to the embattled British […]

When I was 19 years old, my family moved to Cali, Colombia, for my father’s job. His name was Tom Hargrove, and he was an agricultural journalist working in rural communities to fight hunger and famine. Driving to work on Sept. 23, 1994, he was waved off the road, pulled from his car at gunpoint, thrown into the back of a pickup truck and driven deep into the Andes Mountains. My family soon learned he had been kidnapped by FARC, a communist terrorist group and the largest guerrilla army in the Western Hemisphere at the time. My mom, Susan, observed that […]
Conor McGregor has responded to a Covid-19 barb from the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov by making cover-up claims over the health of the UFC lightweight champion’s father. Welterweight fighter Abubakar Nurmagomedov took a pop at the Dubliner on Instagram on Tuesday, posting an image of him gasping for air during his fourth-round submission defeat at the hands of Khabib back in 2018. “When it’s coronavirus and you can’t breathe,” read the accompanying caption in Russian. The post was taken with humor by the likes of Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz, who responded with a series of laughing emojis. But the coronavirus reference […]
Bryce Dallas Howard thought she was making a comedy. She quickly learned, however, that when men talk about their fathers and fathers talk about their children, they cry. A lot. In Dads, the documentary that the actress, whose career has traveled from The Village to Jurassic World, directed about modern fathering around the globe, Judd Apatow cries. Will Smith cries. Jimmy Fallon cries. The men from around the world she interviews about their own experience raising children cry. Her own father, Academy Award-winning legend Ron Howard, sheds a few tears, too. “We joked many times that we could call this movie […]
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 […]
If you’ve ever tried to cram for the SATs after partying all senior year, you know how desperate Donald Trump’s current situation is. He is running for his political life. He’s running out of gas. And he’s running out of time. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is calm, cool, and collected—and seemingly cruising to victory. What gives? Source link

by Megan Lily Large; illustrated by Ella Strickland de Souza Does your dad spend his time in quarantine watching livestreams of men in fields ranting about the dangers of frequencies? Does every dinner table conversation roll back around to how Wi-Fi is killing our brains? Does he joke (well… kind of) about strategically hoofing down your closest lamppost in the middle of the night? Then chances are he’s part of the growing number of dad-truthers fuelling the anti-5G conspiracy theory. In 2019, my dad was invited to a 27,000-strong Facebook group that sets out to “expose” the effects that 5G has […]
