“The Senate on Wednesday failed to advance legislation that would write the constitutional right to abortion into federal law — a symbolic gesture that Democrats promise will be only a first step in a larger strategy to mobilize Americans around reproductive rights as the Supreme Court considers overturning Roe v. Wade and related decisions,” the Washington Post reports.
“Wednesday’s vote — which failed 49-51, well short of the 60 votes necessary under Senate rules — was largely a reprise of a failed February vote staged by Senate Democratic leaders.”
Axios: “Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME), two Republican senators who generally oppose abortion restrictions, also voted no on the measure, saying it’s too expansive.”
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he would oppose a Democratic bill to guarantee abortion access nationwide, indicating that it was too broad to get his vote, The Hill reports.
Said Manchin: “But I would vote for a Roe v. Wade codification if it was today. I was hopeful for that but I found out yesterday in caucus that that wasn’t going to be.”
Politico: “With Manchin’s opposition, Senate Democrats will demonstrate there’s a bipartisan majority that opposes their proposal, though they seem unworried by that result.”
With the Senate on track to vote today on the Women’s Health Protection Act, a likely doomed bill to codify abortion access into law, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) took to the floor to rail against the legislation with the argument that if eggs belonging to certain animals are protected by law, why can’t women be banned from ending unwanted pregnancies, hmm??
“When you destroy an egg, you’re killing a pre-born baby sea turtle or a pre-born baby eagle,” Daines ranted. “Yet when it comes to a pre-born human baby—rather than a sea turtle—that baby would be stripped of all protections in all 50 states under the Democrats’ bill that we’ll be voting on tomorrow.”
“The Supreme Court is set to gather Thursday for the first time since the disclosure that it voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, and there’s no sign that the court is changing course from issuing that ruling by the end of June,” Politico reports.
“Justice Samuel Alito’s sweeping and blunt draft majority opinion from February overturning Roe remains the court’s only circulated draft in the pending Mississippi abortion case, Politico has learned, and none of the conservative justices who initially sided with Alito have to date switched their votes. No dissenting draft opinions have circulated from any justice, including the three liberals.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) downplayed the possibility that a Republican-controlled Senate would pass a federal abortion ban, The Hill reports.
Said McConnell: “Historically there have been abortion votes on the floor of the Senate none of them have achieved 60 votes… I think it’s safe to say there aren’t 60 votes there at the federal level. No matter who happens to be in the majority. No matter who happens to be in the White House.”
Jeffrey Toobin: “As Thomas settles into his fourth decade on the Supreme Court, his influence, even his control, is ascendant. Thomas began his career as a justice as a near outcast – an ideological fringe figure and a scarred veteran of a brutal confirmation fight. Today, he is a revered figure in the conservative movement, and he is watching ideas he championed from the margins turn into the law of the land.”
“South Carolina legislators plan to return to Columbia this summer for a special session to debate further restrictions to abortion access as the U.S. Supreme Court readies to issue an opinion that could wipe out its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling,” the Columbia State reports.
“About 64 million women and girls of reproductive age live in the United States, and more than half of them live in states that could seek to ban or further restrict access to abortion if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade,” the New York Times reports.
“Many of the millions of people who live in these states would be able to seek legal abortions elsewhere, but the barriers to access — including financial resources, time off work and child care — may be hard for some to overcome.”
Tim Alberta: “Having grown up just down the road, the son of the senior pastor at another church in town, I’ve spent my life watching evangelicalism morph from a spiritual disposition into a political identity. It’s heartbreaking. So many people who love the Lord, who give their time and money to the poor and the mourning and the persecuted, have been reduced to a caricature.”
“But I understand why. Evangelicals—including my own father—became compulsively political, allowing specific ethical arguments to snowball into full-blown partisan advocacy, often in ways that distracted from their mission of evangelizing for Christ.”
New York Times: As a “seismic shift” fractures evangelicals, an Arkansas pastor leaves home.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced on Tuesday that she had directed state government agencies to launch a $25 million fund for abortion providers and separately use $10 million to help beef up security at abortion clinics with the Supreme Court on the cusp of striking down Roe v. Wade.
CNN: “US inflation took a breather last month for the first time since August. Prices still increased, but at a slower pace than in previous months. The Consumer Price Index was up 8.3% in the 12 months ended in April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday, slightly higher than economists had predicted. It was a decrease from the 8.5% recorded in March, which had been the highest level in more than 40 years.Stripping out more volatile product categories like food and energy, the CPI stood at 6.2% over the same period, less than the 6.5% reported in March.”
“President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that his administration is currently evaluating how to best move forward on existing tariffs on China enacted during the Trump administration, but he cautioned that no decision has been made,” CNN reports. “Some experts and business groups have called on Biden to get rid of the tariffs as a way to combat inflation.”
“Biden argued Tuesday that congressional Republicans would worsen inflation and raise taxes on American families, part of a growing effort to cast the GOP as obstructing his agenda and fixated on culture wars instead of governing,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“With midterm elections looming, Mr. Biden remains weighed down by low approval ratings and rising public frustration with high prices fueled by the pandemic, government spending and the war in Ukraine. Now he is eager to take the offensive and put pressure on Republicans to defend their own plans.”
“I never expected the ultra-MAGA Republicans who seemed to control the Republican Party now… I never anticipated that happening.” — President Biden, quoted by Politico, admitting to being surprised by the state of the Republican Party.
“Some Federal Reserve officials have begun to acknowledge that they were too slow to respond to rapid inflation last year, a delay that is forcing them to constrain the economy more abruptly now — and one that could hold lessons for the policy path ahead,” the New York Times reports.
“Inflation began to accelerate last spring, but Fed policymakers and most private-sector forecasters initially thought price gains would quickly fade. It became clear in early fall that fast inflation was proving to be more lasting — but the Fed pivoted toward rapidly removing policy support only in late November and did not raise rates until March.”
Wall Street Journal: Senate confirms Lisa Cook to Federal Reserve Board.
“Only after Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) put bacon in her cart at her local grocery store recently did she notice that its price had spiked to $9.99 a pound. Reluctantly, she put the package back,” Politico reports.
“When Porter gave an emotional speech about how inflation has been hitting her family for months during a private House Democratic Caucus meeting last week, she said it seemed like the first time the personal toll of high consumer prices had sunk in for some lawmakers in the room.”
Said Porter: “Too often, Congress recognizes issues too late. I had a colleague mention to me, ‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ … Well, you don’t know what to ask.”
The House voted to approve an additional $39.8 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine on Tuesday as the country fights to fend off Russia’s invasion. The Senate will likely take up the proposal as soon as this week, where it’s also expected to pass. The total amount of the U.S. government’s Ukraine aid since the invasion will be more than $53 billion if this latest measure passes.
Politico: “About five dozen House Republicans voted down a nearly $40 billion aid package to help Ukraine in a late-night Monday vote. They cited a mix of process problems and a desire for the U.S. to remain focused on domestic issues.”
It’s interesting that every House Democrat — including The Squad — supported the aid package.
“Russia’s nearly three-month-old invasion of neighboring Ukraine has been punctuated by flawed planning, poor intelligence, barbarity and wanton destruction,” the New York Times reports. “But obscured in the daily fighting is the geographic reality that Russia has made gains on the ground.”
“It’s been 75 days since Russia invaded Ukraine, and as the battle becomes a grinding war of attrition, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be preparing for ‘a prolonged conflict,’ a top U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday,” the Washington Post reports.
Wall Street Journal: “U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told lawmakers Tuesday. U.S. spy agencies, she said, see a lengthy war of attrition that is unlikely to be settled by the current fighting in eastern Ukraine, and little chance of a near-term negotiated solution.
“In what is perhaps a disturbing sign of the effectiveness of Russian propaganda over the past two months, the wife of a Russian soldier in Ukraine has reportedly been caught urging him to torture Ukrainian children who refuse to support Moscow,” the Daily Beast reports.
From the recording: “I would inject them with drugs, and if it worked, I’d look into their eyes and say ‘Die, suffer.’ I would cut their wee wees and carve stars out of their backs, and actually cut out parts of their ear every day, their finger, so that they’d hurt so bad.”
When even her husband appears taken aback, she shoots back: “I just hate these Ukrainians, I hate them.”
The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection “doesn’t just have testimony and documents. It also has tapes – and lots of them,” Politico reports. “It’s quite possible that excerpts of the Jan. 6 select committee’s witness depositions eventually become public.”
“A month before it kicks off a series of high-profile public hearings, the House select committee investigating January 6 is still finalizing its witness list and preparing to reach out to people it wants to testify publicly,” CNN reports.
“The first hearing, set for June 9, will be a broad overview of the panel’s 10-month investigation and set the stage for subsequent hearings, which are expected to cover certain topics or themes including what President Donald Trump was doing as the riot unfolded, the pushing of baseless election fraud claims that motivated rioters, how law enforcement responded to the attack, and the organizing and financing behind the January 6 rallies.”
“Attorney John Eastman urged Republican legislators in Pennsylvania to retabulate the state’s popular vote — and throw out tens of thousands of absentee ballots — in order to show Donald Trump with a lead, according to newly unearthed emails sent in December 2020,” Politico reports.
Several of the sham Trump electors from Georgia are cooperating in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation into Trump’s election steal scheme, according to CNN. Those electors have reportedly been told that they’re considered witnesses, not subjects, of the investigation.
One of those electors, Georgia Republican Party chair David Shafer, has reportedly spoken to the House Jan. 6 Committee too. He reportedly testified that the Trump campaign had directed the Georgia GOP to put together a slate of fake electors.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted Donald Trump for “playing the TV game” and called Joe Biden “the best person to have” coming to the White House in an interview right after the Jan. 6 riot, according to leaked audio.
David Leonhardt: “Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, was so appalled by Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack that he signaled to colleagues shortly afterward that he was open to convicting Trump in an impeachment trial — and barring him from holding office again. A month later, however, McConnell voted to acquit him.”
“Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, told colleagues in the days after Jan. 6 that he was going to call Trump and urge him to resign. But McCarthy soon changed his mind and instead told House members to stop criticizing Trump in public.”
“By now, this pattern is familiar. (It’s a central theme of This Will Not Pass, a new book about the end of Trump’s presidency, by my colleagues Alex Burns and Jonathan Martin, which broke the news of McCarthy’s comments.)”
Both the Daily Beast and Washington Post put out stories on the GOP’s mission to vanquish Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), and both stories include details of the North Carolina lawmaker’s former allies who are positively delighted to participate in his downfall.
A leader of the anti-Cawthorn “Fire Madison” PAC, which has been publishing embarrassing content about the lawmaker on the regular, told the Daily Beast that he gets the dirt from “folks who used to work with him,” not D.C. people.
Politico reported that it got the photos of the GOP lawmaker in lingerie from “a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign,” then a second person “formerly close” to the Republican confirmed “the origin of the photos.”
One anecdote is when Cawthorn texted Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) about a nasty tweet from the senator’s wife.
CAWTHORN: Why is your wife attacking me on Twitter?
TILLIS: Just spit ballin here, but maybe because you’ve attacked her husband?
“Elon Musk said he would reverse Twitter’s ban on former president Donald Trump,” the Washington Post reports. Musk told the Financial Times that the ban “was morally wrong and flat out stupid.” He added: “It alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”
The Wall Street Journal editorial board isn’t concerned about Donald Trump potentially being back on Twitter:
“If Mr. Trump is back in public view, picking fights on an hourly basis and blaming everyone else for his election defeat, he might remind voters why they grew tired of his antics and made him a one-term President.”
“The House of Representatives will officially allow congressional staffers to unionize, marking a historic milestone following years of workplace complaints on Capitol Hill,” the Washington Post reports.
New York Times: “The vote came amid pressure from aides, particularly junior staff members, who have become increasingly open about their frustrations with the low pay, long hours and notoriously difficult work environment on Capitol Hill.”
Politico: “The move comes amid a swelling tidal wave of grievances from staff, along with efforts by leadership and lawmakers to stem burnout and brain drain among employees who serve vital roles in the legislative branch, including serving constituents, conducting oversight of federal agencies and drafting legislation.”
Rolling Stone: “Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this.”
Said a former Trump official: “It was almost too stupid for words. I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called on President Biden to resign, alleging that Biden is mentally unfit to carry out his duties as president, Fox News reports.
Said Scott: “Let’s be honest here. Joe Biden is unwell. He’s unfit for office. He’s incoherent, incapacitated and confused. He doesn’t know where he is half the time. He’s incapable of leading and he’s incapable of carrying out his duties.”
“Two Senate Democratic leaders say they are willing to give Republicans a vote on reversing President Joe Biden’s move to end pandemic-era border restrictions, provided that the GOP then agrees to move a stalled $10 billion coronavirus aid deal,” Politico reports.
“It’s a notable shift in Democratic strategy, weeks after the Covid aid package was sidetracked amid Republican demands for an amendment vote on Biden’s decision to lift the public health-related border restrictions.”
“A bipartisan push in Congress to adopt another round of coronavirus aid is in fresh political peril, as Republicans continue to block Democrats from swiftly approving as much as the Biden administration believes is necessary to prepare for an expected new surge,” the Washington Post reports.
“Five days after federal health officials warned a new wave could infect 100 million people, lawmakers still find themselves struggling to overcome familiar partisan divides. There appears to be no immediate pathway in the Senate for a long-stalled agreement to spend $10 billion to boost the availability of tests, therapeutics and vaccines nationwide.”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) “introduced a bill on Tuesday that aims to revoke Disney’s copyrights, as Republicans are seeking to outdo each other in attacking the ‘woke’ corporation,” Variety reports.
“Hawley’s bill would dramatically rewrite U.S. copyright law, shortening the total term available to all copyright holders going forward by several decades. It would also seek to retroactively limit Disney’s copyrights, effectively stripping the company of much of its intellectual property, in a move that would face several legal obstacles.”
Right-wing internet personality “Baked Alaska” — who live-streamed himself storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 — was set to plead guilty to a federal charge on Wednesday as part of a plea deal reached with federal prosecutors, but the plea deal went up in smoke after he declared himself innocent, NBC News reports.
“The Salvadoran experiment to make bitcoin legal currency has hit a wall,” El Pais reports. “As a result of the fall in global markets caused by the uncertainty of the war in Ukraine, rising inflation and the US Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates, the price of the most popular cryptocurrency in the world has plummeted more than 50% from its all-time highs. And with it, so too have the bonds of the government of El Salvador, which are trading at 40% of their original value, as investors start to doubt whether the country can meet its next debt payment.”
“Hong Kong’s national security police arrested Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, former opposition lawmaker Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee and singer Denise Ho Wan-sze on Wednesday, accusing the three opposition activists of colluding with foreign forces,” the South China Morning Post reports.
Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee asked the Justice Department to investigate whether a Trump administration Interior Secretary David Bernhardt engaged in possible criminal conduct while helping an Arizona developer get a crucial permit for a housing project, the AP reports.
“Donald Trump was released from a judicial order holding him in contempt of court on Wednesday, ending an embarrassing two-week period for the former president, whose business practices are under civil investigation by the New York state attorney general,” the New York Times reports.
“President Biden has authorized the National Archives and Records Administration to hand over an eighth tranche of presidential records from the Trump White House to the House committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol,” the Washington Post reports.

Sony has revealed that PS Plus — its subscription service that lets users play online multiplayer as well as access select games every month — will no longer include PS3 and PS Vita games in its line up from March 8, 2019. The company snuck in the news while announcing its games line-up for PS Plus for March that has the likes of Ratchet and Clank and Bloodborne.
“We also have an important service update. Starting next year on March 8, 2019, the PS Plus monthly games lineup will focus on PS4 titles and no longer include PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles. This won’t affect any games you’ve already downloaded, or will download, prior to March 8, 2019. Those games will still be part of your PS Plus games library as long as you remain a member. Your game saves and other benefits of PS Plus will also remain the same – the only change is that no new PS3 and PS Vita games will be added to the PS Plus monthly games lineup beyond March 8, 2019,” posted James Hallahan Senior Product Marketing Manager, PlayStation Plus at Sony. Hallahan went on to state that the PS4 is where most of Sony’s audience is at the moment.
“Many of our fans are playing on the PS4 platform, with the increasingly vast number of PS4s in homes around the world. We’ll continue to prioritise the benefits you receive through your PS Plus membership, such as online multiplayer, online game save storage, PS4 monthly games, and exclusive PS Store discounts across content and network services. As a reminder, if you do not wish to continue your subscription, please be sure to cancel it by turning off auto-renewal in your account settings before March 8, 2019,” he wrote.
Sony later confirmed that from March 2019, there will be the usual two PS4 games a month on PS Plus. There will not be any additional games to make up for the shortfall due to discontinuing PS3 and PS Vita support.
This should come as no surprise considering both the PS3 and the PS Vita are essentially end of life for Sony. Though the PS Vita has a rabid, cult following amongst collectors seeing a steady flow of indie titles for the platform. With no successor to the Vita in sight, its sad to see Sony’s handheld aspirations limited to mobile games when it could be so much more.

Vans Anaheim Factory Unveils New Needlepoint Authentic 44 DX and Apparel Capsule
Inspired by when Vans would sell needlepoint kits for customers to decorate their footwear in the mid-1970s and ‘80s.
Vans‘ history of DIY shoes dates all the way back to the mid-1970s and ’80s, and during this era the skate imprint would have inventory of needlepoint kits to sell to their consumers so that they could personalize their kicks as they so pleased. And so to pay homage to this time period, the Anaheim-headquartered company is delivering a trio of Authentic 44 DX colorways with matching apparel that are all inspired by needlework art.
The footwear capsule features three new styles that are all equipped with a full knit build and creamy tone, but each pair deviates with different all-over patterns. The first two offerings are playful as one is covered in classic multi-color checkerboard patterns while the other invites in red and orange rose patterns embedded into the upper. The last sibling opts for simple black skull patterns pasted throughout the base for a clean look. Alongside the kicks are matching apparel pieces including a beige chore jacket and short-sleeved tee that are marked with the same floral patterns as one the shoes in the assortment.
If interested, the whole Vans Anaheim Factory Collection is available now on the Vans web store.
Recently, Vans unveiled its “Tartan Daze” footwear collection for Fall/Winter 2021.

Creep feeding young spring-born lambs is a good option for producers who have low quality forage or limited grazing for their flock.
Liz Genever, Eblex senior livestock scientist, says lambs fed with creep or other supplementary feeds should finish quicker and as such be marketed sooner, prior to the traditional price drop which occurs later in the season.
“Data gathered during the Eblex-funded sheep key performance indicator (KPI) project has found lambs on well-managed, re-seeded grazing can match the performance of lambs supplemented with creep feed on permanent pasture.
“If there is a plentiful supply of high-quality grass available, ideally a sward height of 4-6cm, creep feeding will not improve performance, only add cost. Strategically feeding creep to some management groups can compensate for grass quality rather than feeding to all lambs.”
Dr Genever says good feed conversion efficiency (FCE) is essential to cover the cost of concentrates and can vary from 5:1 to 10:1.
“A sensitivity analysis will show how FCE and concentrate costs can affect the concentrate cost per kg of liveweight gain and whether feeding is viable. Younger lambs convert feed more efficiently which makes introducing feed earlier more economical.”
|Feed Conversion Efficiency|
|Creep price (£/tonne)||Feed conversion efficiency (kg gain: kg concentrates)|
Dr Genever says lambs introduced to creep during the first two to three weeks after turnout can be expected to eat 40-50kg per head by sale if it is offered ad-lib and the sward height is around 4cm. “Lambs on restricted grazing with limited creep feed will gain on average an extra 1kg liveweight for every 5-6kg of creep feed compared to un-supplemented lambs.
“Older lambs must be introduced to creep very carefully with a gradual increase to avoid gorging and dietary upset. Forward creep grazing, where lambs are given access to the best grazing before the ewes, can be used to prevent the need for creep feeding.”
Creep feed can either be purchased as small pellets or a coarse mix. A home-mixed ration based on whole barley and 15 per cent soya bean meal is also suitable (ME = 12.5MJ/kg DM). For long-term feeding, a mineral suitable for lambs should be included at a rate of 2.5 per cent with no added phosphorus, magnesium or copper.

text: Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by giant platelets, thrombocytopenia, and a prolonged bleeding time. It is caused by homozygous defects in the glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX/V complex, which is the receptor for the von Willebrand factor. We examined a Turkish patient with suspected BSS to identify a molecular basis. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that platelet GPIbα and GPIX expression was markedly reduced and DNA sequence analysis showed a homozygous N45S missense mutation in the GPIX gene. Haplotype analysis revealed that the family had the same disease haplotype associated with the GPIX N45S commonly found in Northern European BSS. This is the first non-Caucasian Turkish BSS case due to GPIX N45S and is likely the result of a recurrent mutational event.


Ukraine has acceded to the 1988 Protocol relating to the International Convention on Load Lines. On Wednesday, December 5, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, agreed with IMO to deposit the instruments of accession.
The 1988 Protocol relating to the International Convention on Load Lines defines the limitations on the draught to which a ship may be loaded. It makes a significant contribution to the ship’s safety. These limits are given in the form of freeboards, which constitute, besides external weathertight and watertight integrity, the main objective of the Convention. Measures under that treaty consider the potential hazards present in different zones and different seasons.
The first International Convention on Load Lines, adopted in 1930, was based on the principle of reserve buoyancy, although it was recognised then that the freeboard should also ensure adequate stability and avoid excessive stress on the ship’s hull as a result of overloading.
In the 1966 Load Lines convention, adopted by IMO, provisions are made for determining the freeboard of ships by subdivision and damage stability calculations. The Convention, which entered into force in July 1968, focuses on freeboards which constitute, besides external weathertight and watertight integrity, its main objective.
The 1988 Protocol updates and revises the earlier treaty. The technical annex contains several additional safety measures concerning doors, freeing ports, hatchways and other items. These measures help to ensure the watertight integrity of ships’ hulls below the freeboard deck. All assigned load lines must be marked amidships on each side of the ship, together with the deck line.
On December 5, Mr. Andriy Galushchak, State Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, met IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim at IMO Headquarters in London to deposit the instruments of accession. The 1988 Load lines Protocol now has 110 Contracting States, representing more than 97% of world merchant shipping tonnage.

Nigerians Drag Rapper Wale For His Slightly Questionable Reaction To Wizkid’s International Breakthrough
Wale’s recent identification as a Nigerian artiste has put him in the crosshairs.
Yesterday, Genius tweeted that Wizkid has become the first Nigerian artiste to make the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Wale had a slightly questionable reaction to that report: he replied with a thinking face emoji.
— Wale (@Wale) July 3, 2016
To Nigerians following the MMG rapper, he should not identify as a Nigerian artiste.
“Show us your passport first,” one Tweeter user said, and another added, “You know you are not a Nigerian artiste? You’re an American artiste who’s also Nigerian. Two different things.”
And that’s not all. Some alleged that he had previously refused to claim his heritage and was only doing so at a time Nigerian home-based singers are gaining global recognition.
See the reactions
However, a quick check of Wale’s recently modified profile now identifies him as an Nigerian-American artiste. He is actively representing his heritage, hence we think the criticisms are unfair.
What do you think?

65million years in the making... £1million under the hammer: But was the auctioning of T-Rex's cousin legal, or was the skeleton stolen?
A nearly intact skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus bataar - a cousin of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex - has been sold at auction for $1.05million - but controversy rumbles on about the legality of the sale.
The auction, held in New York on Sunday, has been disputed by the Mongolian government, which has questioned whether the dinosaur was obtained legally.
The dinosaur was found in the Gobi desert - but it is unknown if the dinosaur was found in northern China or in southern Mongolia.
If it was found in Mongolia, the country's government said it should not have been sold in New York.
Rare: The amazingly complete skeleton of Tyrannosaurus bataar, a cousin of T-rex which lived around 80million years ago
The skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus bataar, a smaller Asian rex, roamed North America during the Cretaceous period about 80million years ago, and is 24 feet long and eight feet high.
Heritage Auctions President Greg Rohan said he does not know in which country the skeleton was found, and declined to identify the buyer, who submitted the winning bid by telephone.
The sale will not be completed until a court fight launched by the Mongolian government last week is resolved.
The Mongolian government obtained a temporary restraining order against the sale in Texas state district court in Dallas, where Heritage is based.
A U.S. lawyer for the Mongolian government tried to interrupt the sale on Sunday afternoon in New York, Heritage said.
Houston attorney Robert Painter, who is representing the Mongolian government, said in a statement: 'I am very surprised that Heritage Auctions Inc. knowingly defied a valid court order, particularly with the judge on the phone, listening and ready to explain his order.'
Rohan said a restraining order from a state court in Texas was not enforceable in New York, where the sale occurred. Nonetheless, he said, Heritage has agreed not to complete the sale until 'a court signs off on it.'
Prehistoric killer: A model of the the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the only skeleton of which ever sold publicly went for over £5million
David Herskowitz, the director of Heritage's natural history department, said the body of the skeleton is 75 per cent complete and the head is about 80 per cent complete.
By contrast, he said, most dinosaur skeletons on display in museums are '50 percent complete or less.'
In a statement last week, Mongolian President Elbegdorj Tsakhia said if the skeleton had been found in Mongolia, 'it was illegal to auction the T-Rex and the fossil must be returned to Mongolia.'
Rohan said the remains 'entered the United States legally' and were offered for sale by a 'reputable consignor who is well-known to us.'

When Maria Alexander landed a job at a nonprofit in Los Angeles in 2002, she was recovering from more than a decade of struggles with heroin, then crack cocaine.
“I was living on the side of the freeway, and I went into labor on the side of the freeway,” said Maria, who goes by “Alex,” recalling the birth of her daughter in 1991.
Petty drug offenses led to stints in the Los Angeles County Jail system, a years-long cycle until a fateful ‘02 arrest for $5 in crack.
Since 2018, Prop 64 has generated $532.8 million in tax dollars earmarked for social work and public safety in California.
Instead of jail, Alex went into treatment. She spent six months recovering at a facility in North Hollywood called CRI-Help. When she had a hard time finding a job, CRI-Help sent her to paid job training at the Center for Living and Learning.
Today, 57-year-old Alex is the Center for Living and Learning’s executive director. Based in Van Nuys, CA, she manages caseworkers out in downtown L.A.’s Skid Row, the city’s homeless epicenter. Local health officials have confirmed 97 cases of COVID-19 at a single shelter there.
Each week, CLL caseworkers attempt to salvage a handful or so of society’s most vulnerable—people formerly incarcerated, homeless, or struggling with addiction. The CLL gets them housing, jobs, and help with the little things in between.
And some of the Center’s most essential funding this year comes from Californians buying legal cannabis—the tax dollars of which voters earmarked for youth, environment, or health and safety.
Weed taxes’ impact is growing
Passed in 2016, legalization Proposition 64 has created 500 licensed stores and delivery services so far whose sales taxes flow to those most impacted by the War on Drugs—from communities of color, to at-risk youth.
Since 2018, Prop 64 has generated $532.8 million in tax dollars earmarked for social work and public safety in California: child care vouchers; new ambulances; parks equipment; and trail cleanups.
On May 14, Gov. Gavin Newsom said legal weed will pay for $296.9 million in social services grants in the 2020-2021 revised budget.
Legal cannabis taxes’ impact is growing in 2020 because COVID-19 has blown a predicted $50 billion hole in the state’s budget.
Marijuana tax revenue is so vast, the CLL grants are just a tiny sliver, totaling $30 million to 67 groups like Alex’s for the coming fiscal year 2020-2021.
In 2020, the CLL is splitting $1.25 million in grants with the L.A. County Department of Public Health, the Tarzana Treatment Center, and a mental health nonprofit in Van Nuys called Valley Care Community Consortium.
At the CLL, money from legal cannabis purchases helps staunch the COVID-19’s spread in L.A. County, which has nearly half the known cases in California. Around 300 homeless people there have tested positive for the hyper-contagious virus. The CLL will see 300 to 500 cases this year.
Every legal pre-roll, or eighth-ounce cannabis purchase helps Alex’s team get someone back on their feet, whether it’s clothes for a job interview or a loan for a security deposit on an apartment.
Many helped are leaving treatment at CRI-Help, just like she once did.
“We don’t turn anyone away,” Alex said. “There’s just so many people out there that want and need our services.”
Breaking a sadistic cycle
Legal cannabis tax dollars have strengthened efforts to break our country’s decades-long cycle of mass incarcerating drug addicts.
After leading the world in caged human beings per capita, some states in America have begun locking up fewer non-violent offenders.
Groups like Drug Policy Alliance—a key organization behind Prop 64—have championed this effort, said Armando Gudiño, a public policy expert with Drug Policy Alliance.
“At the end of the day, it is public health that addresses the desperate situations created by problematic drug uses that ends up in a homeless situation, that ends up in someone being treated at a hospital,” Gudiño said. “And society, for the greater part of 40 years, sought to address that by incarceration with absolutely no help or support.”
Along with legalizing cannabis, Prop 64 built on a ‘treatment not jail’ paradigm shift ushered in by Prop 36 and then Prop 47 in California.
Pregnant addicts, discharged into the street
Alex is an exemplar of this shift away from jail and toward treatment.
In 1980, after graduating high school, she left her native Chicago for college in L.A.; theater, television and film production. There, she tried heroin, and her use morphed into a dependency about “two or three years later,” she said.
Every stay at county jail for a small-time drug bust ended the same way—even when Alex was several months pregnant.
“I went in and out of that jail maybe three times or more [in 1991]—I was there nine months pregnant with my daughter,” she said. “But they didn’t even say, ‘Do you have somewhere to go?’ And I didn’t.”
After being arrested, she underwent heroin withdrawal in the jail hospital nursing ward. A social worker removed her daughter, beginning an on-and-off legal battle that would continue for years.
Facades of sobriety
Alex spent years navigating the legal system—attempting to hide behind a facade of sobriety to survive.
“I tried to jump through the hoops of whatever social services wanted but I never really got the help I needed because I didn’t want to admit how bad I was,” she said. “I thought if I had admitted how bad my drug usage was, they’ll never give (my kids) back.”
A turning point
Prop 36, which passed in 2000, gave non-violent drug offenders a chance at treatment rather than jail. With her admission to CRI-Help in 2002, Alex was one of those people.
“I did six months (at CRI-Help) and then six months in sober living. For me, it was good because then the whole thing was up,” she said. “I couldn’t pretend that it, you know, wasn’t as bad or whatever.”
Her life had changed.
When she joined the Center for Living and Learning, the nonprofit got her a bus pass for a month and rented her an apartment since she couldn’t sign a place for herself, due to past evictions. She received an attorney who helped her regain custody of her two children, who are now ages 29 and 21. The legal fight lasted two years. “Nothing happened overnight,” she said.
The harm reduction approach
Losing everything to crack and heroin led to a complicated, mostly resentful relationship with drugs.
But when she submitted an online application a few years after joining the CLL, her views began softening.
“I was on some website where I was able to submit a success story for Prop 36 and … maybe a year or two later, I was contacted by Drug Policy Alliance,” she said.
She traveled to Sacramento with the advocacy group to lobby for more Prop 36 funding, joining back-to-back meetings with lawmakers.
“That opened a whole new world for me of advocacy and drug policy,” Alex said. “And prior to that, you know, I don’t know what I really felt about it because I felt like heroin had ruined my life.”
Her thoughts evolved upon learning more about things like Good Samaritan laws that allow people to call 911 for an overdose without having to fear arrest.
Health solutions to health problems
Alex once joined the DPA for a trip to Lisbon, Portugal to study the health-centered approach to drug decriminalization there.
“It’s just turned around my perspective of how I feel about these things,” she said, pondering how life may have been different if she was offered rehabilitative services sooner
’Why did I have to rely on jail to save my life?’
“I didn’t know there’s treatment where you could go with your baby,” Alex said. “I didn’t even know that existed… So, now I think, ‘Wow, why did I have to rely on jail to save my life?’”
Before Prop 64, the CLL’s funding mostly came from Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot initiative that de-felonized many drug crimes. Alex personally lobbied for Prop 47, later working alongside the American Civil Liberties Union to secure funding for groups like hers.
“To see that come full circle was like, ‘Oh, my God… Wow, is this really happening? Did we do this? Were we able to really do this and pull this off?’”
Alex went from struggling with drugs to finding solutions to their misuse—getting the government to fund her own group’s efforts to help anyone they can; judgment-free.
Weed tax benefits often hidden
Still, not everyone wants to admit they get grants from weed taxes.
One well-established L.A. nonprofit with $17 million in 2017 revenue—denied receiving any Prop 64 funding in a March 4 email to Leafly. Funding allocations were finalized months earlier, and state records show it received a $650,000 grant together with an organization that installs solar power systems.
A spokeswoman never replied to an email citing those records and requesting clarification.
Other entities who’ve received Prop 64 funding have historically supported anti-marijuana policy. For example, four years since voters approved Prop 64, greater L.A. County refuses to license stores. And in the city of L.A., red tape might prevent a single new store from opening in 2020. Colorado has as many stores as California, a state 10 times Colorado’s size.
For her part, Alex has no qualms about saying where the money came from.
She jokes of telling her 21-year-old son’s friends: “I’m not telling them to smoke marijuana, but if they do, ‘Buy legal!’”

Here’s some local news:
There were 2 fatalities on Tuesday caused by a head-on collision on State Road 26 near mile post 12 between Hatch and Deming in Luna County. An investigation has indicated that a 2016 Toyota passenger car, driven by Roy Edwards of Silver City, passed a flatbed truck carrying a Jeep while heading eastbound. While passing on the two-lane road, Edwards collided head-on with a Dodge Charger driven by Alexis Chavez, of Deming. Both men died of fatal injuries and were pronounced deceased by the office of the Medical Investigator.
During a recent meeting, Assistant Town of Silver City Manager, James Marshall, recommended the town council approve a bid for an overlay-resurfacing of 32nd Street between Silver Street and Ridgecrest Drive. The bid amount of $160,131.60 from Southwest Concrete and Paving of Silver City is already in the budget for the project that is scheduled for November 15th through 17th. It has been reported that two lanes will be open at all times during the project.
The Silver High School Kiwanis Key Club is collaborating “Together we Rise”, a non-profit organization comprised of motivated young adults and former foster youth. The service project was chosen as the Southwest District Key Club Governor’s project for the 2018-19 year. “Together We Rise” works with hundreds of foster agencies, social workers, CASA advocates, and other partners, including Key Club. In addition, they help provide thousands of foster youth across the country with new bicycles, college supplies, and “sweet cases” so that children do not have to travel from home to home with their belongings in a trash bag. The Silver High Key Club will be holding a Halloween Haunted House on Wednesday, October 31st from 6:00 to 9:00 P.M. at Silver High School to benefit “Together We Rise”. A portion of the proceeds will go towards purchasing “sweet cases” for foster youth. Admission to the Haunted House is $5.00 per person.
There are many activities taking place this week that include:
Tonight, the Silver City Police Department and G.W. Stout Elementary School are hosting a community Halloween Trunk or Treat and Haunted house at the school’s Swan Street parking lot from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. There will be plenty of fun candy, and free hotdogs and drinks supplied by the police department.
On Saturday, the P.E.O.’s (Philanthropic Educational Organization) 7th annual “Purses for Every Occasion” and silent auction will take place this Saturday, at First Presbyterian Church, 1915 Swan Street in Silver City starting at 12 noon. All proceeds will benefit the Nancy Champlin P.E.O. Foundation Scholarship.
Local residents are invited to downtown Silver City on Sunday, to enjoy the downtown “Love Local Celebration.” The promotion is sponsored by Silver City MainStreet to encourage more local shopping. Businesses will be offering special deals and discounts. In addition, this Sunday, enjoy the Dia de los Muertos Street Festival celebration and activities on Texas Market Streets from 12 noon to 6:00 P.M.
Don’t forget the Silver City Historic the Stories from Our Streets walking tour is a fun family activity and booklets can be picked up at the Murray Ryan Visitor Center or many of the downtown merchants.
Have a fun and safe weekend!

"Dear Thelma" is a relationship advice column that appears in The Star, a publication that is part of the Asia News Network.
I’m a 34-year-old office worker. I’ve been single my whole life.
It is not by choice, but simply because no man has ever courted me, and the men that I felt any attraction to are usually already in a relationship.
I have never pursued a guy actively before as well. I have no problem with this, other than feeling a slight embarrassment. So whenever I am asked, I simply say that, “I have dated before but I am single now.”
But as with any other single woman in her mid-30s, my colleagues always tease and pressure me about this, especially since I am the only single lady of my age in the office.
I am quite frustrated by their insinuations (and sometimes even direct remarks) about me being “picky”. There are even those who have told me that I’m not in a position to be choosy because of my physical appearance (plain looking and slightly overweight) and age.
I am aware that I’m lacking in terms of looks, and I’m not sorry for that, because beauty is not everything. I believe that I should let nature take its course in terms of my love life, however late that may be. But I’m tired of my “helpful” colleagues who seem to put the blame for my single status on me and that it is my fault for not trying harder (slim down, spend more money on my appearance, act more feminine, etc) and be less picky in order to catch a guy.
I have already told them many times that it is fine to be single, and I’m not losing any happiness over the lack of a husband and child. How else can I respond to my colleagues in such a way that I do not put them off? I still like to be friendly and social with them. – Single Office Lady
Dear Happily Single
My opinion is that your co-workers are a bunch of nasty bullying cats. You are happy with being single, and that’s a personal choice. They have no right to question you. But not only are they overstepping the boundaries of simple good manners by pestering you about your private life, they go on to criticise your looks. That is just plain abusive.
Sadly, office bullying is very common. In toxic corporate cultures, bullying takes a severe emotional toll. Victims can become depressed and anxious. Some become suicidal.
My advice would be this.
Don’t get sucked into these discussions. In your letter, you state the important fact first: you are happy and you don’t want their opinion. But then you go on to justify yourself. I’m guessing that this is exactly how the office conversations are too.
My dear, in real life, you cut them off straight away. There is no reason whatsoever for you to explain your life choices to anyone.
The next time they start on your personal choice, you say, “My private life is not up for discussion.” And if they have the cheek to talk about your personal looks, you say, “Your remarks are hurtful and I don’t want to hear them anymore.”
You sound like a very sweet lady, so you may feel a little embarrassment. We both know this is misplaced; it’s the nasty cats who should be ashamed of themselves. However, feelings can be very illogical, so I suggest that when you say this, you immediately get up and walk away.
Don’t stomp or storm. Just move away, cool and elegant, knowing that you have the high hand in this. Your co-workers will very quickly learn that you can’t be engaged, won’t be engaged.
I expect they’ll be angry that they can’t bully you anymore. But if you’re not there, they can throw their little tantrums and they won’t affect you.
This is easier said than done, so I suggest you practise this at home first. In therapy, that’s called modelling. Basically, you try it out, a bit like a theatre play rehearsal in a safe space. You do it over and over again, so that you can explore how it will go. Repetition means modelling will give you courage, too.
Also, I suggest you read up on how to boost your self-assertiveness, looking especially at books that address bullying. You’ve been suffering at the hands of these bullies so you might value a bit of a boost.
Finally, if you haven’t already done so, you might google, “why is being single a stigma”. It’s a fascinating cultural phenomenon, one that is thankfully fading fast, but as you sound a very thoughtful and educated lady, I think you might be interested in the subject.
Good luck, and don’t let those nasty cats get you down!

No charges warranted to officer in relation to fatal Brampton collision that killed mother and three children: SIU
Published October 21, 2020 at 2:01 pm
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has released an update regarding the fatal Brampton collision that killed a mother and her three children back in June.
On June 18, 2020, Caledon woman Karolina Ciasullo was driving her 2018 Volkswagen Atlas northbound on Torbram Road with her three children, Klara, 6, Lilianna, 3, and Mila, 1, in the vehicle with her.
According to police, 20-year-old Caledon man Brady Robertson was travelling eastbound on Countryside Road in a blue Infiniti G35 at a “high rate of speed” when he collided with the Volkswagen, redirecting it into a light pole.
Police say the Infiniti then collided head-on with a Honda that was stopped westbound on Countryside Road at the red light.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2020, Robertson was arrested and charged with four counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. He has also been charged with one additional count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in relation to the Caledon incident.
In August, bail was denied for the driver involved in the fatal crash.
Additionally, at the time of the collision, as the Infiniti driver was fleeing from a police cruiser at the time, the matter was reported to the SIU and an investigation began.
Today, (October 21), the Director of the SIU, Joseph Martino, has determined there are no reasonable grounds to believe that the officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the motor vehicle collision.insauga's Editorial Standards and Policies advertising
