Armenia said on Friday it’s ready to negotiate an end to hostilities with Azerbaijan, but also prepared to continue fighting.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday blatantly refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power following November’s general election. “We’re going to have to see what happens, you know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster,” Trump said when pressed by a reporter to commit to ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. As the same reporter further pressed the president, Trump said, “We want to … get rid of the ballots and we’ll have a very peaceful, there won’t be a transfer, frankly, there’ll be a continuation.” “The ballots are out of control, […]
US public support for the Black Lives Matter has slid 12 percentage points since June; the total number of people endorsing the movement is now slightly above 50 percent, according to Pew Research Centre. US academics have outlined possible reasons behind the slump in approval, predicting what may happen to BLM after the November vote. The number of American adults who express sympathy with the movement has plummeted from 67% to 55% since June, when nationwide demonstrations triggered by the death of George Floyd in police custody were gaining pace. Likewise, the share of those who “strongly support” Black Lives Matter […]
President Donald Trump boasted to supporters on Tuesday about his campaign intentionally misrepresenting itself in order to skirt coronavirus restrictions. “Joe Biden and his party spent the entire summer cheering on the riots, rampaging for Democrat-run cities, labeling them as peaceful protesters. We call you peaceful protesters, you know why? Because they have rules in these Democrat-run states that if you’re campaigning, you cannot have more than five people. They did that for me,” the president told supporters during a campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Commander in Chief has railed against lockdown restrictions meant to slow the spread of […]

Protests in Wisconsin’s city of Kenosha, sparked by a video of a white police officer shooting a black man, Jacob Blake, saw violence, looting, arson, as well as two murders and one injured. To help curb unrest, the White House helped the state to deploy some 1,000 National Guard troops and 200 federal agents. Covering protests that rocked the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin, CNN rolled out a chyron saying ““FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING”. The reporter who went live from Kenosha said that the protests were “largely peaceful” but became violent at night, while standing in front […]

A few years ago I was working with a family that wanted to build a rum distillery on their land—a 2,000-acre sugar plantation that their ancestors had acquired in the 1850s. They insisted to me from the outset that it not be called a sugar plantation but rather a “sugar farm”—with no mention of plantation in marketing materials, despite the fact that for more than 150 years that’s what everyone called the place. They were very aware the name was problematic—with its longstanding connections to slavery and the savage mistreatment of humans. They thought it best to avoid it. I argued […]
Rep. Jim Clyburn was a key figure behind securing Joe Biden’s nomination, and will be instrumental in picking his running mate. However, his views of late are show denial of reality and falling back on #Resistance tropes. Jim Clyburn’s name carries gravitas in both Washington and his home state of South Carolina. Clyburn’s endorsement is considered to have pushed Joe Biden ahead of Bernie Sanders in the state’s primary election, securing him the black vote. The veteran lawmaker and House Majority Whip is expected to vet Biden’s eventual choice of running mate, given Biden has promised to consider a black woman […]
