A photo of Kentucky State Police Troopers with the title, "Our color is gray, our gender is trooper," posted as a Facebook cover photo Tuesday has been called tone-deaf by many commenters, who said it's offensive to people of color and the transgender community. [SNIP] "By reducing it down to color and gender, it's a message that says we don't take seriously the struggles people of color and trans people and trans people of color face," said Alyxander Rowan, a trans man from Kentucky.

Controversial televangelist Ernest Angley has died at age 99, according to an announcement Friday on the Ernest Angley Ministries website.
"Pastor, evangelist and author Rev. Ernest Angley has gone to Heaven to be with his Lord and Master at 99," the announcement reads. "He touched multitudes of souls worldwide with the pure Word of God confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. He truly pleased God in all things."
A native of Gastonia, North Carolina, Angley moved to Akron in 1954 and eventually turned into an internationally known figure, thanks largely to the syndicated TV broadcasts he launched in 1972.
The Ohio Republican Party on Friday passed resolutions censuring U.S. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez and calling on him to resign for voting in January to impeach ex-President Donald Trump.
Gonzalez, from Rocky River, is the latest Republican to be rebuked by their state parties for supporting impeachment proceedings against Trump in January. Trump was impeached by the U.S. House for inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol as President Joe Biden’s electoral victory was being certified, though the Senate did not vote to convict him.
One resolution, offered by Shannon Burns of Strongsville, called on Gonzalez to resign, claiming he “betrayed his constituents,” “demonstrated a hidden vendetta against” Trump...
It is a resource that cannot be measured just by the power it produces.
“Coal means everything to this part of the country," said coal miner Matt Huonker.
“Without the coal mines in this area, there wouldn’t be an Ohio Valley I wouldn’t think," coal miner Michael Knight said. [SNIP] "It’s not a good industry to be in right now. There’s a war on coal, whether people want to say it or not," Huonker said.
Now, as President Joe Biden is pushing a more than $2 trillion infrastructure plan, with billions going toward green energy, those in the coal industry are concerned about what that could mean for the future of their jobs.
Every spring the Supreme Court seems to find itself in the headlines with consequential rulings on the horizon.
This spring is no different.
Over the coming weeks, major cases impacting various aspects of American life are poised for rulings. One of the biggest outstanding cases involves the Affordable Care Act.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that it was constitutional, but this is a new challenge.
This challenge was brought by conservatives who believe the last ruling was only ruled constitutional because the Supreme Court interpreted the law as a tax.
Congress has since removed tax penalties from the law and therefore critics believe justices now have grounds to strike down the entire law.
Severe cases of COVID-19 are 2.5 times more likely in men with male-pattern baldness than those retaining a full head of hair, researchers have warned.
Male-pattern baldness — or 'androgenetic alopecia' — is a common, genetically-determined form of hair loss that affects around 50 per cent of men aged over 50. [SNIP] Researchers found that male patients with a common biomarker linked to hair loss appeared to be significantly more susceptive to severe coronavirus infections.
Specifically, these men were more sensitive to male hormones known as androgens, which is also found in patients with androgenetic alopecia.
President Joe Biden's proclamation of the annual National Day of Prayer failed to include the word 'God', an omission that is drawing criticism from some religious leaders.
Biden, a devout Catholic, typically ends his public remarks with the phrase 'May God bless you all, and God protect our troops' - but his proclamation for Thursday's Day of Prayer contained no such acknowledgement of a higher power.
'Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements — including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans,' the proclamation read in part.
Two great-great-grandchildren of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller Sr. are pouring millions of dollars into an effort aimed at supporting people on the front lines fighting new oil and gas development.
Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case have created the 'Equation Campaign' and pledged a combined $30 million of their personal wealth to the effort.
Among the causes they are supporting are protests against the Keystone pipeline, in the Dakotas, and activists fighting the replacement and expansion of the aging 'Line 3' oil pipeline in northern Minnesota.
Another $5 million was pledged by other sources so far, with an ultimate goal of raising $100 million.
A bar owner in California faces multiple felony charges for allegedly selling fake COVID-19 vaccination cards from his bar.
The state’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control arrested the man at his bar, the Old Corner Saloon, in the small town of Clements this week.
Clements is about 35 miles southeast of Sacramento.
The state agency started investigating after getting a complaint about the bar owner, they said in a statement.
Undercover agents were able to buy fake vaccination cards at the bar on multiple occasions in April.
Twitter has reportedly suspended the accounts of several users who were tweeting the exact wordage found on former President Donald Trump's new website, "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump."
According to senior NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny, who shared a screenshot of one of the accounts, @DJTDesk, the social media platform removed the account.
In the screenshot, @DJTDesk's bio reads that the account was "not Donald J. Trump tweeting."
In a statement to Politico, Twitter said their policy is to “take enforcement action” on accounts with the intent of replacing or promoting content “affiliated with a suspended account.”
The U.S. Department of Justice expressed concern Wednesday about ballot security and potential voter intimidation arising from the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate’s unprecedented private recount of the 2020 presidential election results in Maricopa County.
In a letter to GOP Senate President Karen Fann, the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said the Senate’s farming out of 2.1 million ballots from the state’s most populous county to a contractor may run afoul of federal law. [SNIP] And Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pamela S. Karlan said that the Senate contractor’s plans to directly contact voters could amount to illegal voter intimidation.

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted her colleagues in Congress in a fiery interview with Tucker Carlson, claiming the country is 'crumbling' because of the government's gross mismanagement.
The freshman congresswoman made the remarks on Tucker Carlson Today on Wednesday, saying she is 'disgusted' by the way Congress 'wastes' taxpayers' money.
'This is a system that is severely failing the American people and the American people don't know how bad it is,' Greene declared.
Her attack was aimed not only at rival Democrats but also fellow members of the GOP.

What's Behind Vaccine Hysteria?
49 replies
If you are reluctant to get the COVID vaccine and beginning to feel overrun by forces pressuring you to get vaccinated, you aren’t alone and you aren’t crazy. There’s a reason you feel the way you do. You are being manipulated.
We are being bombarded with commercials pushing us to be socially responsible. Medical professionals, celebrities, and folks in our communities admonish us not to shirk our civic duty. Suddenly, the vaccine is the only way to normalcy.
Friends and family openly brag about their vaccinations and gasp in astonishment when they find out you haven’t decided or, worse, that you will not get it.
The University of Pittsburgh is growing scalps from aborted babies on lab rodents.
This is straight from a horror movie.(Snip)A new video from the Center for Medical Progress exposes a gristly experiment at the University of Pittsburgh that involved scalping five-month aborted babies and implanting their scalps onto rodents.(Snip)… a number of the experiments using aborted baby body parts at the university are funded by U.S. taxpayers through the National Institutes of Health and, in particular, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases office, CMP found in its investigation.
Michelle Obama said in a new interview that Black people live with a constant fear of discrimination and injustice and that Black Lives Matter activists are “taking to the streets” not because they want to, but “because they have to.” In an interview with “CBS This Morning” that will air Monday, the former first lady said there’s still a long road ahead after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted last month in the murder of George Floyd.(Snip) I know that people in the Black community don’t feel that way because many of us still live in fear as we go to the

A heavily armed anarchist militia in Portland stopped traffic and assaulted a driver at gunpoint while he attempted to defend himself.
A video from Portland, Oregon, posted on Twitter Thursday showed armed Antifa activists assaulting a driver after threatening him with firearms in broad daylight while blocking traffic.
At two separate points, multiple participants pulled AR-15s, AK-47s, pistols, and possibly a shotgun and/or Keltec Sub 2000 on motorists who happened to be driving along.
Former first lady Michelle Obama fears for her daughters when they get behind the wheel of a car amid police use-of-force incidents, she said.Obama is "breathing a sigh of relief" after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, though she said there's "still work to be done."“Many of us [black people] still live in fear as we go to the grocery store or walking our dogs or allowing our children to get a license. I mean, just imagine — [my daughters] are driving, but every time they get in a car by themselves,
A man videotaped and taunted a young pregnant woman who wasn’t wearing a mask in a grocery store and put the video online, which has amassed more than 400,000 views as of Friday.
“Right there, right there, no mask,” the man said, zooming over to the pregnant woman as she checks out with her groceries.
The woman calmly waves, only irritating the already emotional man. “You’re on candid camera. Here we go. I want you to know that your insensitivity is ridiculous,” he scolded her.
He then equated her massless face with the deaths of his grandparents.
Another massive brawl broke out at Miami International Airport on Wednesday just one week after passengers were seen beating each other at the D gates.
The fight this week began when two women started yelling at each other on the plane. One woman is heard screaming, “I’m not even in my regular seat, so I don’t give a [expletive]!” The passengers were kicked off the plane and a brawl erupted in the boarding area. A very large man in a yellow sweatshirt is seen grabbing a man by his neck, throwing him to the ground and dragging him. A woman with a blonde weave got taken down
In the California governor’s race, candidate Caitlyn (née Bruce) Jenner has landed the first blow, and it’s a telling one.
This week, the former Kardashian paterfamilias’ campaign released a three-minute ad that might as well have been titled “Make California Great Again.” It’s a killer ad because every Californian knows that under one-party Democratic rule, the Golden State isn’t so golden anymore.
Jenner’s ad juxtaposes the California of an earlier era, intercut with footage of Bruce at the Olympics, and sharply contrasts those evocations of sun, fun and vitality with images from today, featuring homeless encampments, discarded hypodermic needles and shuttered businesses.
When President Joe Biden declared that he wants all cars sold to be “zero-emission” by 2035, carmakers didn’t raise a peep of protest. Worse, they are starting to fall in line with promises to go all-electric, even though the vast majority of consumers don’t want these cars.
General Motors made a big splash earlier this year when it promised to sell only electric cars by 2035.
“General Motors is joining governments and companies around the globe working to establish a safer, greener and better world,” CEO Mary Barra said days after Biden was sworn in. “We encourage others to follow
