Arizona governor Doug Ducey (R.) announced Friday that he signed a bill blocking state-run schools and government entities from requiring training in critical race theory.

Ducey, a Republican, said in a statement after signing House Bill 2906 that CRT suggests that people are "inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously," according to FOX 10 of Phoenix. "Here in Arizona, we're going to continue to be leaders on civics education and teach important lessons about our nation's history," Ducey said.

He also signed House Bill 2035, which calls for curriculum transparency so that parents can monitor what their children are being taught, particularly in controversial areas such as sex education. "Parents should have the right to know what their children are learning in school," Ducey wrote.

NYC: Israeli-trained NYPD is charging pro Palestinian protesters with bogus "hate crimes'

The NYPD has a message for New Yorkers: don't criticize Israel in their city.

Last May, demonstrators took to the streets of New York to protest the slaughter and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

They are now suffering selective prosecution at the hands of the ostensibly American NYPD, who are not only trained by the Israeli government, but even have an official branch in Tel Aviv.

Since June, multiple protesters have been arrested for "hate crimes" related to anti-Israel protests. The main crime appears to be public expressions of outrage at the Jewish state's violent and genocidal policies.

In one viral video during May 20th demonstrations, a man lit a firecracker that Jews and Israeli propagandists on social media claimed was a bomb.

Comment: The end of tolerance and the beginning of tyranny has been seamless and now rising to new levels. The time to fight back was with the first slings and arrows.

Wells Fargo is ending a popular consumer lending product, angering some of its customers, CNBC has learned.

The bank is shutting down all existing personal lines of credit in coming weeks and has stopped offering the product, according to customer letters reviewed by CNBC.

The revolving credit lines, which typically let users borrow $3,000 to $100,000, were pitched as a way to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt, pay for home renovations or avoid overdraft fees on linked checking accounts.

"Wells Fargo recently reviewed its product offerings and decided to discontinue offering new Personal and Portfolio line of credit accounts and close all existing accounts," the bank said in the six-page letter. The move would let the bank focus on credit cards and personal loans, it said.

Scientific American goes to war against Truth: On Evolution and Racism

Given evolution's racist baggage, you might think the theory's proponents would be somewhat abashed to accuse the critics of Darwin of "white supremacy." Apparently not. Writing in Scientific American, Allison Hopper goes there: "Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy." Who is Allison Hopper? She is a white lady, a "filmmaker and designer with a master's degree in educational design from New York University. Early in her career, she worked on PBS documentaries." Ms. Hopper "has presented on evolution at the Big History Conference in Amsterdam and Chautauqua, among other places." Having been handed a platform by America's foremost popular science publication, she writes:
I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies.

Lululemon did all the right things.

They launched a "Strength to Be" campaign that featured men discussing their own idea of masculinity, including gay boxer Orlando Cruz.

They pandered to the LGBT movement at stores across America.

They released an "Impact Agenda" that focused on climate change, focusing on the goal of having all their clothes be made with 100% green energy.

The company focused tirelessly on "equity" over the past few years, not only in salary between men and women, but along racial lines as well.

Glenn Simpson
Fusion GPS attorneys have been accused of violating ethics rules in the case they're defending against Alfa Bank. What do they want to keep hidden?

Background

In 2017, the owners of Alfa Bank (we'll call them Alfa Bank for the purposes of this article) sued Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson for their publication of false statements accusing Alfa Bank of "bribery, extortion, and interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election."

As a reminder, it was Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson who, along with others, created and spread bogus Trump/Russia dossiers to government officials and the media. This was then used to justify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance warrants on Carter Page to spy on Page those associated with President Trump.

The Biden administration has criticized the Israeli military's demolition of a home in the West Bank owned by the family of a Palestinian American accused of carrying out a terror attack in May.

This is the first time since the new Israeli government was formed that the Biden administration has criticized its actions in the West Bank.

Israel has repeatedly demolished the homes of terror suspects in the West Bank, contending that it serves as a deterrent against future attacks.

WHO warns of 'epidemiological stupidity' of early Covid reopening

Mike Ryan issues warning over letting people catch Covid earlier as England prepares for 'big bang' reopening.

As England moves towards an anticipated "big bang" lifting of coronavirus restrictions on 19 July, a senior World Health Organization official has warned countries to lift their Covid-19 restrictions slowly so as "not to lose the gains that [they] have made".

The comments from the UN global health body's head of emergencies, Mike Ryan, were not aimed directly at Boris Johnson's much-trumpeted reopening. However, they will be interpreted as grist to the mill of those health experts who have been arguing that England is moving too fast at a time when infections are surging.

Comment: Just your friendly neighborhood World Health Organization official telling you that you're still supposed to be scared, just in case you forgot.

The Swedish police described the crash as "very serious" on their official website, but were unable to provide any more details.

An airplane with nine people on board has crashed after takeoff outside Orebro, TT News Agency reported, citing authorities.

​Several people were killed in the crash, which Lars Hedelin, press spokesman for the police, described to Expressen as "a total accident".

Comment: More from New York Post:
A small plane carrying a group of skydivers crashed this week in Sweden, killing all nine people on board, police said.

The single-engine plane, a DHC-2 Beaver, crashed close to the runway and burst into flames shortly after takeoff at Orebro airport on Thursday night, police said.

"It's a very severe accident. Everyone on board the crashed plane has died," police said on their site.

The plane had been carrying the pilot and eight passengers, who were members of a local skydiving club, according to police and Orebro County Governor Maria Larsson.

No official cause for the crash has been determined, but officials said that "something happened in the middle of the runway."

"The plane didn't get up very high before it went down to the left of the runaway," Peter Swaffer, a department head at the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority, told daily newspaper Aftonbladet.

Swedish Maritime Administration spokesman Carl-Johan Linde said the crash must have occurred "in connection" with the plane's takeoff.

NIAID, Moderna Had COVID Vaccine Candidate in December 2019

So much has happened over the past year that it may be hard to remember what life was like pre-COVID. But let's flash back to December 2019, when the idea of social distancing, compulsory masking and lockdowns would have been met with disbelief and outrage by most Americans.

At that time, most were blissfully unaware of the pandemic that would change the world in the next few months. It wasn't until December 31, 2019, that the COVID-19 outbreak was first reported from Wuhan, China,1 and at this point it was only referred to as cases of viral pneumonia, not a novel coronavirus.2 I say "most" because it seems some people may have been aware of something lurking much earlier than it appeared.
