President Biden and first lady Jill Biden kicked out the British media—to get the pub garden table they wanted, video shows. Jon Sopel, the BBC’s North America editor, had been sitting on the patio of Treganna Castle in Cornwall on Thursday when he was seemingly surprised by the unexpected arrival of the commander-in-chief and his wife.(Snip) But the BBC team was soon forced to pack up their belongings to give up their table to POTUS and FLOTUS—even though they clearly had the pick of several other tables in the otherwise empty area. BBC producer Morgan Gisholt Minard shared a second clip showing

People familiar with the situation told The New York Times that FDA said the shots have to be thrown away due to potential contamination.(Snip) It has not been decided yet whether not the plant, run by Emergent BioSolutions, will be allowed to reopen after closing two months ago.

A 14-year-old in Virginia is speaking out about what she says is a sexist move by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) to allow "boys into girls' locker rooms." The policy followed a previous one, 1040, that committed the county to providing an equitable, safe and inclusive working environment regardless of "sexual orientation, gender identity" and other individual characteristics.(Snip) At Tuesday's school board meeting, Jolene Grover, who was wearing a shirt that read "Woman is female" argued: "Two years ago, I was told policy 1040 was just an umbrella philosophy and you weren't going to allow boys into the girls' locker rooms.

As President Biden visits foreign leaders in Europe, Vice President Kamala Harris cannot escape the pressure to visit the southern border amid the historic surge of illegal immigration under her watch as border czar.
In an interview with Univision on Thursday, Harris offered a tense response after being pressed by anchor Ilia Calderón on when she would finally visit the crossing amid the worsening migrant crisis. “I’ve said I’m going to the border,” the vice president replied. “And I –“ “When are you going to the border, Vice President?” Calderón interrupted her to ask. “I’m not finished,” Harris replied with an uncomfortable laugh, raising her finger at the host.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called an 'emergency meeting' over 226 cases of heart inflammation in people who have had either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. US health officials Thursday announced they are investigating what appear to be higher than expected reports of heart inflammation in male teens and young adults after getting their second doses. A total of 226 cases have been reported that may meet the CDC's 'working case definition' of myocarditis and pericarditis following the shots, the agency said. Among the 226, three are in intensive care, 15 are hospitalized, and 41 have ongoing symptoms. The rest have recovered.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Breitbart Texas the State will immediately begin building border barriers in areas where migrants can easily cross the Rio Grande border with Mexico. The barriers will, in part, enable state law enforcement to arrest migrants for violations of state law.(Snip)
“What people have seen in videos across the country seems to be the Biden Administration welcoming these people to the United States,” Abbott stated. “We won’t be sending that message.” Instead, the governor said, “If you come to Texas, you’re subject to being arrested. You’re not going to have a pathway to roam the country. You’re going to have a pathway

A U.S. congressman’s shocking account last week of migrant abuse in Panama, including incidences of babies being washed downriver, is being echoed in a new report from Doctors Without Borders, which says staffers in the region are seeing a stunning number of sexual assaults of migrant women. The humanitarian group said it sent medics to Bajo Chiquito, the village migrants arrive at after crossing the treacherous wilderness jungle of the Darien Gap, which lies on the border between Panama and Colombia. Migrants coming north from South America have to either boat around the jungle or cross it—the cheaper, but far more dangerous option.

Clothing manufacturer Patagonia joined pipeline opponents in celebrating the cancellation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, even though the outdoor-apparel maker’s product line heavily relies on petroleum. In a Thursday post, Patagonia retweeted a message from the Native Organizers Alliance declaring that the “#KXL Pipeline is DONE,” referring to TC Energy’s decision Wednesday to abandon the 1,700-mile U.S.-Canada project after a 13-year battle. “A big congratulations to all!” Patagonia tweeted. “’The termination of this zombie pipeline sets precedent for President Biden and polluters to stop Line 3, Dakota Access, and all fossil fuel projects,’ Kendall Mackey, campaign manager

Jewish House Democrats have escalated a confrontation with Rep. Ilhan Omar over her recent statements equating the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban. A dozen Jewish Democrats issued a statement this week condemning Ms. Omar for using rhetoric that they said reflects “deep-seated prejudice” and provides “cover to terrorist groups.” The move puts House Democratic leaders on the spot about whether to rebuke or possibly censure Ms. Omar. The offending remark from Ms. Omar, Minnesota Democrat, was posted Monday on Twitter after she questioned Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a hearing about U.S. support for the International Criminal Court. “We must have the same

American homeowners collectively have added a staggering $2trillion to their equity in the first few months of 2021, as home prices continued to climb.
People with mortgages saw their equity skyrocket nearly 20 per cent in the first quarter of the year, according to a new report from CoreLogic, the California-based property data provider.
