The burgeoning 'cancel culture' has forced Amazon to ax an ad campaign for a book by a Wall Street Journal author which is critical of liberal views on transgender identity, its publishing company has said.

Regnery Publishing said that Jeff Bezos' company suspended their paid ad for the book 'Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters' by Wall Street Journal writer Abigail Shrier.

According to the author, the book explores the idea that "trans-identification has become a peer contagion among teen girls."

New York City has reported a major increase in murders and shootings. The news comes as a man was killed in the city while washing his car, and a 92-year-old woman was assaulted in a seemingly random attack.

"Earlier today, police officers from the 75th Precinct responded to a call of a male shot in front of 334 Milford Street. When they arrived, they discovered a 35-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the neck," the NYPD's Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted, along with video of the disturbing incident.

The footage shows a man wiping down the tire of his car when a passerby stops and fires a shot into the back of his neck. The man washing his car falls, and the shooter proceeds to continue his walk down the street. There is no known motive for the crime, and the killer is at large.

Comment: When seeing data and incidents such as the above, it's difficult to understand anyone's desire to "defund police" and leave cities unprotected so that criminals can roam freely.

Melissa Rolfe, the stepmother of former Atlanta, Georgia, Police Officer Garrett Rolfe, was fired from her job at Equity Prime Mortgage LLC.

The termination has sparked outrage on social media, where some people claimed that Melissa Rolfe was fired because of her association with the former officer, who was criminally charged in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. One Twitter user wrote in response: "Do NOT use @equity_prime or do ANY business with this HORRIBLE Company."

However, in a statement, the company denied that claim and indicated that Melissa Rolfe's views had created a hostile work environment. Equity did not specify what those views were. Here is the company's statement, which it released late in the evening on June 18:

Two groups — Rose City Justice and Lavender Caucus — hosted a sit-in rally at Jefferson High School in the evening where community members shared their experiences with racism with a crowd of a few hundred.

A separate group of about 20 people met around 10 p.m. at the site of the large bronze statue of Washington.

Bags full of human remains were discovered along the shoreline in Seattle, police said Friday night.

The discovery included "several bags," and at least one was in the water, the Seattle Police Department said in a statement.

Officers responded to a park along Elliott Bay, on a point across from the city's main waterfront and Pike Place Market, after someone reported a "suspicious bag on the beach," the department said.

Detectives responded after officers determined the contents to be remains, police said. Identities of the dead or the number of bodies possibly involved was unknown.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office was working with detectives. "This remains an active and ongoing investigation," the Seattle department said.

The 58-year-old British socialite has all but disappeared from radars, as her former boyfriend and suspected accomplice Jeffrey Epstein faced grave child sex trafficking charges. Although Maxwell is not a French citizen, she was born there, which means that she could escape potential extradition to the United States.

Ghislaine Maxwell is hiding out in Paris to avoid being interviewed by US investigators looking into child sexual assault allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, The Sun reports, citing sources with knowledge of the situation.

It is understood that the British media heiress was seen in the French capital in March before city authorities announced a lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Joe Rogan was trending on Twitter as people tried yet again to have the world's most popular podcaster canceled. It comes after he revisited his skepticism about Joe Biden's capacity to be the next president, among other remarks.

Attempts to make Rogan disappear from public view or at least shame people into not listening to his podcasts are nothing new. They have not been successful before and don't appear to be working now.

Why is he 'being cancelled' this time? There were several things that my have prompted the outrage.

In a Thursday podcast, Rogan, who usually steers clear of politics, reiterated his negative attitude to how the Democratic Party primary went in the US. He criticized the 'vote blue no matter who' position and said mainstream Democrats and their friendly media have been ignoring problems with the candidacy of Joe Biden, like "speeches that clearly show some kind of cognitive decline" in the former vice president.

An image of CNN protecting its Atlanta headquarters from protesters with a fence has inspired many to go after the network for constantly questioning President Donald Trump's support of a southern border wall.

The photo of CNN's fortified headquarters went viral on Friday, as many conservatives blasted the network for hypocrisy, based on its past coverage of both the proposed border wall between the US and Mexico and the protests over George Floyd's death.


Comment: A wall protecting areas controlled by those opposed to border walls is magically different than walls built by people who aren't opposed to them, and that magical difference is what's known as cognitive dissonance.
