When Kimberly Guilfoyle tested positive for COVID-19 before Donald Trump’s July Mount Rushmore speech, it seemed like the result came back just in the nick of time. She and her boyfriend, who happens to be the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., skipped the rally and were said to have avoided contact with the president. But the duo had already made a lasting impression in the northern plains, where earlier that week they had headlined a two-day Trump campaign event in Big Sky, Montana, potentially exposing locals and political donors to COVID-19—and leaving some to find out about it through the news.

This week, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron made the bombshell announcement that the cops who fatally shot Breonna Taylor would not be charged with killing her, calling their use of force in the March raid “justified to protect themselves.” In that justification, he said that one witness corroborated the three officers’ insistence that they knocked and identified themselves at Taylor’s Louisville home while executing a search warrant in connection with a narcotics investigation. It contradicted claims from Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenny Walker, and 11 other residents, who said they didn’t hear the cops announce themselves. Instead, Walker thought he was being burglarized […]
The Kenosha, Wisconsin police officer who shot Jacob Blake seven times feared the man was trying to kidnap a child seated in his SUV, the officer’s lawyer said, also claiming Blake had brandished a knife at police. Officer Rusten Sheskey opened fire on Blake during the August 23 encounter in Kenosha after hearing a distressed woman on the scene shout “He’s got my kid. He’s got my keys,” the attorney, Brendan Matthews, told CNN. He argued that had Sheskey allowed Blake to flee with the child in the vehicle, “the question would have been ‘why didn’t you do something?’” Matthews’ account […]

A group of Malian soldiers has reportedly mutinied outside the capital Bamako, following weeks of anti-government protests calling for the president to resign. The Norwegian embassy has warned its citizens to shelter in place until the situation is resolved. It remains unclear how much of the military has mutinied, though an unnamed security source cited by Reuters merely stated: “Yes, mutiny. The military has taken up arms.” “The embassy has been notified of mutiny in the Armed Forces and troops are on their way to Bamako. Norwegians should exercise caution and preferably stay at home until the situation is clear,” the Norwegian […]
On Monday, Johnny Depp’s libel trial against The Sun publisher News Group Newspapers entered its penultimate day, with NGN attorney Sasha Wass arguing that Depp’s drug use fueled “irrational mood swings and abnormal behavioral patterns, which would not have been present when Mr Depp was clean and sober”—and that the actor was too high to remember allegedly abusing his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp is suing NGN for libel over a 2018 article that ran in The Sun, which called him a “wife-beater” in its headline. The publisher’s defense rests on 14 allegations of domestic abuse from Heard, which allegedly occurred between […]
On June 17, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced that actor Danny Masterson had been charged with three counts of rape. Masterson, 44, best known as the star of That ’70s Show, is accused of forcibly raping three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003. He is facing 45 years to life in prison if convicted. (Masterson’s attorney said, “Mr. Masterson is innocent, and we’re confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify.”) It has been a long journey for Masterson’s accusers—one that began, […]

Johnny Depp apparently missed a part of his own libel trial against News Group Newspapers on Friday. As Depp’s concierge provided testimony in High Court regarding Amber Heard’s allegedly frequent late-night visits from Elon Musk, the actor himself was in a meeting to discuss a new film project, according to the Daily Mail. Depp is suing NGN over a 2018 story that ran in The Sun and labelled him a “wife-beater” after allegations of domestic abuse from Heard. The publisher’s defense rests on 14 separate abuse allegations from Heard, which allegedly occurred between 2013 and 2016. Depp has denied all allegations […]

You may have seen the headlines: Smoking protects people from the new coronavirus. But this is one case where you shouldn’t believe everything you read. The false narrative put out by a number of news outlets highlights an underlying problem. Scientific studies can be complicated, and it’s easy for non-experts, including reporters, to misread their findings. The data on smoking and COVID-19 is buried in a wide-ranging report from Oxford University and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Source link

No, Americans Do Not Need to Panic About ‘Murder Hornets’ by Alex Fox/Smithsonianmag.com The Asian giant hornet is a big, mean-looking insect with a potent sting. Their queens can grow to be up to two inches long and their quarter-inch stingers can pierce normal beekeeping attire. They are also voracious predators capable of massacring entire honey bee hives in a matter of hours—decapitating thousands of the hive’s adult bees and absconding with the helpless larvae to feed the hornets’ own brood. As their name suggests, the hornets are native to Asia, but at the tail end of 2019, they were seen […]
