“It’s interesting to me that here’s the man who owns the largest amount of farmland in the United States, Bill Gates, who now wants to, as he said, do something to cows so that they either don’t burp or fart as much, or we’ll just get off meat all together,” Rubin says.
“Either way, I sense he’s going to profit a lot from one of those things,” he adds

Areas covered by the Emancipation Proclamation are in red. Slave-holding areas not covered are in blue."...On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln announced that the Emancipation Proclamation would go into effect on January 1, 1863, promising freedom to enslaved people in all of the rebellious parts of Southern states of the Confederacy including Texas.[31][32][c][d]
Enforcement of the Proclamation generally relied upon the advance of Union troops.
Texas, as the most remote state of the former Confederacy, had seen an expansion of slavery because the presence of Union troops was low as the American Civil War ended; thus, the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation had been slow and inconsistent there prior to Granger's order.[9]
In all June 19, 1865, was 900 days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, 71 days after Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union on April 9, 1865, and 24 days after the disbanding of the Confederate military department covering Texas on May 26, 1865.
The two suspects were both charged with robbery, grand theft auto, possession of a machine gun, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of stolen property, making rapid-fire modifications to a gun, and unlawful possession of an ammo feed device.
This is the second time this month that NYPD officers have been attacked by suspects believed to be migrants from Venezuela.
In the early hours of June 3, a suspect shot an NYPD officer in the chest and another cop in the leg after they attempted to stop his moped in Queens.
1) There seems to be an undisclosed difference between the configuration of the ballots issued to absentee voters and those issued at the polls on election day. Why else would a new ballot be issued to a voter attempting to cast their absentee ballot at the polls on election day? 2) There seems to be an undisclosed reason for defining unique ballot processing requirements for early voting from that of voting on election day. Why would the timing of when someone votes drive the manner in which they vote? CONCLUSION: By differentiating ballot configurations and tabulation processes as specified above, the election system appears to be designed to enable anyone with advance, privileged access to voting systems (e.g. MI SoS Jocelyn Benson, NGO's such as Dominion) to rig the election
A recently discovered Department of Defense memo suggests that the federal government may well have had copies of the documents in Trump’s possession, also raising questions about the need for the raid. The content of those documents has not been disclosed but, critics ask, if Trump was not retaining copies of information that threatened national security, what was the need for an armed raid?
Many on the right see the Mar-a-Lago raid as part of a broader effort by the Department of Justice to intimidate its political enemies.
I watched the viral clip of Barack Obama taking a frozen Joe Biden by the arm and leading him off stage at their star-studded $30 million LA fundraiser, and posted on X what I suspect everyone who watched it was thinking: “So embarrassing. The Democrats can’t let this go on, surely?”...
When the last Democrat to occupy the White House has to literally grab the current one because he notices he’s had yet another “senior moment” and appears to be paralyzed like a statue on stage, it has to be the wake-up call everyone in the party must urgently heed before it’s too late, doesn’t it?
"The district uses the scholarships to train and recruit new 'teacher[s] who look like' certain students, and so the program extends only to members of certain racial minority groups preferred by the district," WILL explained.
"The district’s race-based GYO program violates numerous anti-discrimination prohibitions, including the United States Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. WILL warns of further action if the district insists on maintaining this unlawful program."
"The current body of evidence indicates that while social media may have benefits for some children and adolescents, there are ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. Yesterday, June 17, Dr. Murthy dropped a bomb: An essay in the New York Times in which he called for government-mandated warning labels on social media, akin to those that a previous Surgeon General called for in 1964, on cigarettes...
When Israel took out a top Hamas terrorist, Hady Amr warned that “every Israeli” would pay. And that America would too.
That was less than a year after 9/11. By Oct 7, when Hamas launched its murderous ethnic cleansing assault, Amr had become Biden’s Special Envoy to the ‘Palestinians’...
“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Amr wrote, making no secret of his hatred for America and Israel. The Muslim immigrant found his way into the State Department under Obama. But then he mysteriously also appeared on the list of Biden’s top bundlers.
Freedom Center Investigates had broken the Amr story and exposed his extremist activities, but there was still one big question hanging overhead.
"In the spring of 1979, a few weeks after the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, more than 65,000 people marched on the United States Capitol chanting “No Nukes, No Nukes.”
As a young reporter at the Washington Star assigned to cover this new movement, I interviewed march organizers and noticed thatall of them had previously organized protests against the Vietnam War.
This struck me as curious: How had they suddenly become so passionate and knowledgeable about nuclear power? I later learned that a term exists for this phenomenon—the March of Dimes syndrome—and that the tendency affects many other movements, too.
Why, last year, did the Human Rights Campaign declare a “national state of emergency” for LGBT people?
Why was the election of the first black American president followed by the Black Lives Matter movement?
Why have reports of “hate groups” risen during the same decades that racial prejudice has been plummeting?
Why, during a long and steep decline in the incidence of sexual violence in America, did academics, federal officials, and the #MeToo movement discover a new “epidemic of sexual assault”?
These supposed crises are all examples of the March of Dimes syndrome, named after the organization founded in the 1930s to combat polio.
The March helped fund the vaccines that eventually ended the polio epidemics—but not the organization, which, after polio’s eradication, changed its mission to preventing birth defects...
An investigation has found that a public school teacher in New Hampshire was fired after requesting sick leave, during which the teacher actually took a student to get an abortion.
Documents released by the New Hampshire Department of Education revealed that the teacher had been “counseling” the student — both names were redacted — for several weeks about an unexpected pregnancy.
