The slogan gained momentum late last week as radio host Rush Limbaugh brought up Kamala Harris’ short-lived relationship with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown 25 years ago. Amazon has taken down t-shirts from their website featuring the slogan “Joe and the H*e” following an online blacklash from users referring to them as racist, and “totally unacceptable”. Amazon removed the “Joe and the h*e” items. Story updated. Waiting on confirmation on whether they are removing the “Kamala smelled the best” items or not. — Josh Rivera (@Josh1Rivera) August 19, 2020 The derogatory line alludes to a rumour that Harris, Joe Biden’s running […]

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s current diet has a distinctly Russian feel as the boxer sampled the delights of the famous ‘Olivier salad’ at a local café. Fury’s slimmed-down frame has been a crucial factor in his return to the top of his sport, with the 6ft 9in star shedding 125lbs after his weight ballooned following his spiral into drinks, drugs and depression in the years after he shocked Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world titles. Before his most recent fight ‘The Gypsy King’ also hailed the arrival of chef and nutritionist George Lockhart – who […]
The two men who hold all the marbles in heavyweight boxing, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, had a chance encounter in the southern Spanish city of Marbella ahead of next year’s rumored blockbuster showdown between the two Brits. It is the first of what could be several meetings between the two champions in advance of what would be the biggest heavyweight unification fight in a generation tentatively scheduled for 2021 – so long as Fury gets past the trilogy bout in December with former foe Deontay Wilder which was guaranteed in his contract from February’s fight which was won by Fury.

Critics have described the Black Lives Matter movement as a “scam” and questioned the point of a move by a Major League Soccer team which has replaced player names with the names of black victims of police brutality. Philadelphia Union players wore the names of victims on the backs of their shirts when they played New York City FC in the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando on Thursday. The shirts also had the message “one name, too many” printed on them, revealed by the players for their pre-match photo after they had warmed up in Black Lives Matter t-shirts. “Our […]
Cartoonist Scott Adams has received a barrage of criticisms from ‘woke’ Twitter users angered by his claim that he’s lost three jobs due to being white, one being on the cancelled adaptation of his comic strip ‘Dilbert’. “I lost my TV show for being white when UPN decided it would focus on an African-American audience,” Adams tweeted. “That was the third job I lost for being white. The other two in corporate America. (They told me directly.)” Adams was responding to ‘Star Wars’ actor Ahmed Best (best known as the voice of Jar Jar Binks), who is black, tweeting about his […]

In India, where hundreds of thousands of people have been pushed into extreme poverty by the COVID-19 pandemic, the monsoons have unleashed yet another wave of terror. The monsoon rains, otherwise considered a harbinger of prosperity for the agriculture sector, have this time triggered widespread destruction in the form of floods, landslides, […]

The streets of the US are burning. Demonstrations by armed Trump supporters pressing for the opening of the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic have been replaced by protests for the umpteenth police murder of an African American citizen, in this case George Floyd. The reaction is reminiscent of the days of hate and fury that broke out in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the police officers who had beaten Rodney King a year earlier. Just two examples of the many that […]

The chaos consuming the country came back to Donald Trump’s doorstep Sunday. A building near the White House grounds, the headquarters of the AFL-CIO, and an historic church were all set on fire as the nation’s capital was once again gripped by unrest after a day of largely peaceful protests against police brutality. Earlier in the week, protesters tried repeatedly to breach barricades keeping them away from the White House, where Trump reportedly hunkered down in a bunker on Friday night. On Saturday, protesters pushed back from the area splintered off into downtown streets where storefronts were smashed in, retailers were […]

Veteran American Jeremy Stephens will likely have his work cut out at UFC 249 in Florida on Saturday night – but after a decade and a half in pro MMA, he still packs a punch that will have opponent Calvin Kattar feeling wary. Saturday’s bout in Jacksonville will move Stephens to third place in the all-time UFC appearances chart among active fighters, and he remains a man never to shy from a challenge. “This is fun,” he says of being in the octagon. “When I’m in there, that’s me being Jeremy Stephens — ‘Lil F*ckin Heathen’ — for 15 minutes.
