The largest Japanese automaker has faced harsh criticism for donations to some lawmakers - members of then-President Donald Trump's Republican Party - who voted against certification of Biden's win in some U.S. states.
It was around 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 11, when police got word of a Nissan Versa driving erratically near the New York-New Jersey border. Once they caught up to the driver, they discovered the man covered in blood, with gashes across his arms and thighs.
"I am tired," Jeffrey Sabol, 51, told the Clarkstown, N.Y., police officers as they aided him, according to court documents. "I am done fighting."
A New York grand jury has indicted the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer with tax-related crimes that will be made public Thursday in court, people familiar with the matter said, marking the first criminal charges against the former president’s company since prosecutors began investigating it three years ago.
The charges against the company and longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg are a blow to former President Donald Trump, who has fended off multiple criminal and civil probes during and after his presidency. But the initial charges won’t implicate Mr. Trump himself, his lawyer said...
Anne Blom has called Milwaukee home for more than 40 years.
She raised three children in a house she has owned for decades in Washington Heights, a neighborhood full of shade, wide streets and well-kept lawns.
On a scale of 1 to 10, she’d rate the city a 9.
“We love what the city has to offer,” she said.
But Blom, who is white, acknowledges that Milwaukee doesn’t provide everyone with the same opportunities. She recalled an instance years ago when a Black friend house sat for her. When he was outside the home one day, a passerby questioned his presence there.
Brazilian auto racer Helio Castroneves made history after winning his fourth Indianapolis 500 race on Sunday. He is now one of four drivers to win "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" four times. Castroneves, who took the checkered flag in 2001, 2002 and 2009, held off runner-up racer Alex Palou, winning by a mere .4928 of a second. Castroneves claimed his first three wins with Team Penske, but Sunday's win was the first Indy 500 win for Meyer Shank Racing. CORRECTION*
There was at least one Republican who disagreed with former House Speaker Paul Ryan's critique of Donald Trump's hold on the party.
That would be Trump.
"Paul Ryan has been a curse to the Republican Party," Trump said as part of a lengthy statement issued Friday by the former president. "He has no clue as to what needs to be done for our Country, was a weak and ineffective leader, and spends all of his time fighting Republicans as opposed to Democrats who are destroying our Country."
Acknowledging that "conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads," former House Speaker Paul Ryan sought to map out a vision for the Republican Party in the post-Donald Trump era.
In an address Thursday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, Ryan credited Trump for bringing "many new voters into our party" but said Republicans have to face a reality.
"If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or of second-rate imitations, then we're not going anywhere," Ryan said.

Last June, when most Americans could agree that their country was in crisis but few could agree on what to do about it, staffers from a small organization called Justice Democrats—part of a burgeoning faction of young activists whose goal is to push the Democratic Party, and thus the entire political spectrum, to the left—joined a gathering on the patio of a restaurant in Yonkers, overlooking the Hudson.

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan grew up admiring Ronald Reagan and wielded political power under Donald Trump.
So, it was Ryan, the former Wisconsin lawmaker who represented Janesville and the 1st Congressional District for 20 years, who was selected to lead off a speaker series on the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
The setting: the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

Nearly one in 10 U.S. police departments have access to videos from millions of privately owned Amazon Ring devices. Ring's Active Agency Map shows the home security camera company now has partnerships with more than 1,800 police departments in the U.S. out of nearly 18,000 total departments across the country.
The company's "Neighbors" app notifies Ring users when neighbors or local law enforcement agencies send out public safety alerts. "We built Neighbors for our customers, not law enforcement, and users must opt-in to share videos on a per-request basis..."
The country’s deadliest wildfire in a century left the small Northern California town of Paradise with almost nothing.
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Camp Fire ravaged 153,336 acres in Butte County over 17 days in November 2018 while demolishing 18,804 buildings and killing 85 people.
“Literally our entire town was decimated,” said April Kelly, manager of Nic’s Restaurant in Paradise. “There was really nowhere to go.”

Only hours after Major League Baseball announced Friday it was moving this year’s All-Star Game from Atlanta, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett made a plea to Commissioner Rob Manfred to bring the game to American Family Field.
Manfred and MLB made the decision to remove the game from Atlanta’s Truist Park in response to Georgia enacting a new law last month restricting voting rights.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for the education system to be expanded from 12 years to 14 years for all Americans to make the US more competitive on a global scale. His speech in Illinois drew about 100 protesters holding signs supporting Donald Trump. McHenry County, where Biden made his remarks, went for the former president in the 2020 election. One large sign read: 'Make America Proud Again.' Biden's focus during his daylong trip is on his plan for free childcare and the education component of his 'human' infrastructure package that he will push to pass Congress without Republican votes. In addition to his call for more, free education,
Utah’s Black Lives Matter chapter has labeled everyone who flies an American flag “a racist” in a Facebook screed posted over the Independence Day holiday, reports noted on Thursday. “When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around,” says the post. “When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. “When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred,” the post continued.
Barry Diller made his name in the film industry as the chairman and CEO of two Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures and what was then 20th Century Fox. Now, he is declaring the industry dead.
"The movie business is over," Diller said in an exclusive interview with NPR on the sidelines of the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, a media and technology conference in Idaho. "The movie business as before is finished and will never come back."
Yes, that has to do with a substantial decline in ticket sales and the closure of movie theaters during the coronavirus pandemic.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, bought up to $11 million worth of Big Tech stocks in the last two months as an anti-tech package of bills makes its way through the House at the same time.In May and June, Pelosi purchased $4.8 million worth of Google shares, up to $1 million worth of Amazon call options, up to $250,000 of Apple call options, and up to $5 million of call options for Nvidia, the large semiconductor, graphics, and electronics company, according to a financial disclosure form filed last week. A call option is a financial contract that allows a buyer the right to purchase a stock or
As we expected, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) issued its revised guidelines on stem cells and embryo experiments at the end of May 2021, and as expected, the ISSCR recommendations are rife with proposed experiments on young human beings.
The new guidelines discard the 14-day limit on human embryo experiments in favor of no limits whatsoever, and they allow virtually unrestricted manufacture of human-animal chimeras of any type, as well as creation of genetically altered human embryos and lab constructed human embryo “models.” Very little is left in the category of “currently not permitted.”
Thanks to a series of leaks from the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop computer, we know there is more than enough evidence to appoint a special counsel, or at least convene a grand jury to investigate bribery, tax fraud, and probably several other categories of crime involving the Biden Crime Family. (snip) A mildly curious US Attorney ought to be able to get a grand jury to subpoena the financial records of the Biden clan on this basis. (snip) We understand why none of this is happening – yet. Biden is serving his purpose (snip) But the drip, drip, drip continues and accumulates.
A Turkish bodybuilder and fitness model who moved to the US to flex her muscles away from her conservative country was reportedly banned from boarding her American Airlines flight in Texas because her attire was deemed offensive. Deniz Saypinar, 26, a social media personality who was the first woman in Turkey to be given status by the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, recently move to Los Angeles to pursue her career and “experience freedom,” the Daily Mail reported. But the ripped influencer got stuck at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Thursday when American Airlines flight attendants took issue with her fashion sense
Knowing which Americans have been vaccinated is “absolutely the government’s business,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Thursday.
Speaking to CNN, the HHS secretary was responding to criticism of President Biden’s comments Tuesday about going “door to door, literally knocking on doors” to get wary Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus. “It is absolutely the government’s business, it is taxpayers’ business, if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra told the network, noting the government has had to “spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday and slammed unvaccinated Americans, telling them to “get over this political statement.”
“This is not complicated. We’re not asking anybody to make a political statement one way or another,” Fauci said during a segment of “All in with Chris Hayes” on MSNBC. “We’re saying, try to save your life, and that of your family, and that of your community.”
“We have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with that don’t have solutions,” Fauci continued. “It’s very frustrating. You don’t have a treatment, you don’t have a vaccine.

Government ethics watchdogs and art critics alike are voicing their concerns as first son Hunter Biden prepares for his first solo art exhibition this fall—where paintings from the former lawyer and lobbyist are expected to fetch between $75,000 and $500,000 and buyers will remain anonymous.
“The whole thing is a really bad idea,” Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, told the Washington Post.(Snip) Walter Shaub, who led the Office of Government Ethics under President Barack Obama, told the paper that the art buyers having their identities protected created a host of problems. “Because we don’t know who is paying
Health experts in the United States have raised the alarm that vaccinated individuals might be spreading the Covid-19 Delta variant, as cases surge in states across the country. The highly transmissible Delta variant now makes up more than half of new infections in the US.(Snip)Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told Insider that the spread of the Delta variant could actually be worse than current data suggests. “CDC guidance is not to test the vaccinated [unless they’re symptomatic], so we’re probably missing a bunch of transmission in vaccinated individuals,” Mr Murray said, who is the lead modeller at the IHME,

Another "Lincoln Project" production. It's time for a review of "conservative principles". One reason conservatives are constantly bashed it that there are neither response nor repercussions in return. This is politics, not ideology. The days of Reagan's "Eleventh Commandment" are long past. It's not the the Dems/Commies who are the enemy.
