A new anti-DEI law championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that goes into effect next year has resulted in the cancellation of a St. Patrick's Day parade. The city of Delray Beach announced that it was pulling the plug on the popular 60-year-old spectacle " as well as the city's annual Pride celebration " after it did a review of Florida Senate Bill 1134, which DeSantis signed into law and goes into effect on Jan. 1. Nevertheless, the bill specifically bars counties, municipalities, public contractors, and grantees from using taxpayer money to fund events that celebrate "ethnicity." DeSantis, a Republican and likely GOP presidential candidate, has been leading the charge against DEI for a number of years.
It took Alana Grant years to find the strength to set foot in the basement of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, where her grandfather, the Rev. Daniel Lee Simmons, attended his final Bible study. Her fears have been replaced by gratitude and hope now that there is a completed memorial in a courtyard by the front door for the "Emanuel Nine," the Black churchgoers killed by an avowed white supremacist in 2015. The memorial provides a public space where "people can go and remember really what happened here," Alana Grant said as she and her husband, state Rep. Hamilton Grant, got their first look. On Saturday, the long-planned memorial at the South's oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church opens to the public.
Police in Peoria, Illinois, are investigating a "credible" bomb threat at a local plant and are urging anyone who lives or works within a one-mile radius of the facility to evacuate immediately. The Peoria Police Department said the evacuation recommendation was issued as a precaution while officers and emergency personnel investigated the threat at BioUrja Renewables. Police determined at about 6:45 p.m. local time Friday that a package at the facility was a credible threat and established a one-mile blast radius, officials said. Bomb technicians rendered the package safe at about 9:12 p.m. local time, according to police. However, authorities said a thorough search of the large facility was expected to continue into Saturday, likely until late afternoon. Officials said they were not treating the incident as a hoax.

US Senate Ethics Committee Chairman James Lankford (R-OK) and Vice Chairman Chris Coons (D-DE) wrote this "Public Letter of Admonition" to billionaire oligarch US Senator Jim Justice II (R-WV): "The public must feel confident that Members never place personal financial interests ahead of the best interests of the United States.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is expected to unveil a plan for disbanding the NYPD's Strategic Response Group (SRG). In dissolving the counterterrorism and protest-response unit, His Honor would be fulfilling a key 2025 campaign pledge. Mamdani's plan is expected to involve nixing the SRG and potentially replacing it with a new civilian unit that would take the lead on responding to protests. Under the plan, which had not been finalized yet, the new civilian unit would be supported by NYPD officers, who would assemble nearby and be able to step in to conduct arrests if needed. The civilian entity's main goal would be de-escalating violence, not encouraging it.

Voters in Providence, Rhode Island elected 28-year-old Democratic Socialist David Morales as Mayor and approved a ballot measure that will result in the city divesting from Israel. Providence will be the first US city to pass a binding divestment measure through a popular vote. The historic measure instructs the city to divest from countries and companies implicated in "ethnic cleansing, apartheid, illegal military occupation, or genocide." The language does not mention Israel by name, but everyone on the planet knows who the target of this humanitarian ballot measure is.

Thanks to widespread vaccination, measles had been considered "eliminated" as a continually transmitting illness in the United States since 2000 " but not anymore. An independent commission of experts that reports to the director of the Pan American Health Organization determined that the US no longer qualified as having eliminated measles, a source close to the process told CNN on Friday. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The decision was widely expected after years of falling vaccination levels and surging case counts, but it's still a black mark on the nation's public health policy.

D/Mossad Roman Gofman is in Washington DC today on behalf of ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to press Dummkopf Trumpf to resume military operations against Iran. Gofman, a close Netanyahu ally, is meeting D/CIA John Ratcliffe and good-for-nothing oligarch Steve Witkoff. Trumpf has so far rejected pressure from Netanyahu to resume military strikes, even though the White House Windbag boasted that "he could destroy Iran in three days." The Tuesday 3 Nov elections is testament that the American people are against the idiotic war being fought against Iran on behalf of Israel, a quagmire that is bankrupting the US economy. The DIA counterintelligence threat level for Israeli espionage against the US remains at the highest level.

Megyn Doyle, a sophomore in the School of Arts and Sciences and former vice president of the Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), accused members of the organization of assaulting her on July 9, 2026 during an altercation. This week she posted a public video on her account further detailing the events of July that have been circulating across social media platforms. She claimed in the latest video that the men "violated her" during the video and that she is pursuing options with the police and the University to see her legal options in the hopes of " getting accountability"
The WSJ reports: "Democrats, fresh off sweeping wins in last week's midterm elections, are taking aim at Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic pet projects amid an unpopular war being fought by the US military against Iran on behalf of Israel and astronomically high consumer prices at home. Democrats also plan to scuttle the imbecilic "War Department" renaming as well as the ridiculous Trumpf-class battleship. House Democrats however, thanks to AIPAC, did not vote to impeach the White House Windbag this week, coming up with the flimsiest excuses for their constituents."
