Google uses 'Nazi' label for GOP, blames Wikipedia

Google blamed "vandalism" at Wikipedia for inaccurate search results on their platform, which claimed the California GOP promotes Nazism, however Google failed to note that they prioritize results from Wikipedia as an authoritative source of information.

"We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that's what happened here," claimed Google in a statement. "This would have been fixed systematically once we processed the removal from Wikipedia, but when we noticed the vandalism we worked quickly to accelerate this process to remove the erroneous information."

Despite Google's efforts to shift the blame onto Wikipedia's often far-from-accurate information, Google prioritizes results from the site on their search engine, frequently placing Wikipedia information at the top of the page as an authoritative source.

Comment: Is it 'vandalism' or is it a swipe meant to influence?

How the west gets Russia wrong

I had been planning to write a post today about the latest report on Russia by the British House of Commons, but something came my way which is so out of the ordinary that it has to take precedence. The item in question is an article by University of Rhode Island professor Nicolai Petro entitled 'Are We Reading Russia Right?' and published in The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs.

I urge you all to read the full text online here, and to spread it as far and wide as you can. But in case some of you only have time for a condensed version, below is a summary of what Nicolai has to say.

The article starts out by describing the extremely negative image of Russia painted by most Western commentators. This image, Petro says, is incomplete. There are indeed many shortcomings in Russia, but under Putin there has also been enormous progress. Focusing entirely on the former without mentioning the latter produces a thoroughly distorted picture.

Comment: Don't fall for the Deep State anti-Russia propaganda.

For years Roseanne Barr has been talking trash about Palestinians and Muslims, without regrets

Roseanne Barr lost her popular show on ABC two days ago after she tweeted a racist and Islamophobic comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett. The network's response was fairly instant, and Barr launched into apology mode.

But as many have pointed out, Barr has a long history of hateful speech about Palestinians and Muslims, and of describing supporters of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) aimed at Israel as Nazis. And she did not suffer career-wise for those comments.

This comment from Barr, about putting Palestinians in ovens, is particularly repugnant.

Comment: Roseanne Barr has always been a bit of a mixed bag. She's been known to talk about MK Ultra, child trafficking, and prosecuting the banksters. But how does someone go from being anti-Zionist to enthusiastic pro-Zionist in such a short period of time? While she clearly isn't afraid to speak her mind, Roseanne is clearly lacking in discernment.

Controversial MSNBC commentator Joy Reid has apologized for blog posts about Israel, 9/11 and John McCain, choosing not to blame phantom "hackers" this time. The network is standing by Reid, saying she has "grown and evolved."

"There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed. Today I'm sincerely apologizing again," Reid said in a statement on Friday.

On Thursday, the Daily Caller published excerpts from blog posts written by Reid, calling CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer "a former flak [sic] for the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)," and saying that AIPAC is a "powerful lobbying group that holds the whip hand over Republican and Dmeocratic [sic] members of Congress alike."

Why are so many American kids dying?

A perfect storm of murder, addiction and carelessness has fueled a recent and troubling increase in deaths among U.S. children and teens, a new government report shows.

The total death rate for those aged 10 to 19 rose 12 percent between 2013 and 2016, mostly due to an increase in deaths from accidental injury, homicide and suicide, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

In short, the United States is becoming less safe for teenagers.

The primary causes of injury deaths were motor vehicle accidents, suicide, firearms-related murders and drug overdoses, the report discovered.

"For children in the U.S., the rate of deaths has increased recently, and it's from a multitude of these injury death causes," said report author Sally Curtin, a statistician with the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. "You can't just say it's suicide or homicide. It really is a combination of causes."

Torrance, Ca: Police kill snake-dancing man brandishing a knife

A man who police say was wielding a knife was shot to death Friday by officers in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness location in Torrance.

The shooting occurred just before 9 a.m. in the 20000 block of Hawthorne Boulevard, according to Torrance police Sgt. Ronald Harris.

Officers responded to the location on "a service call involving a subject brandishing a knife in the area of Planet Fitness," he said.

Police say the suspect - described as in his 30s -had a folding knife that was approximately four inches in length, which he was waving around in the parking lot.

Witnesses said the man was holding a snake and doing some sort of "ritualistic dance" with the snake in the parking lot, according to CBS2's Michele Gile.

Starbucks employees respond to the company's 'face-saving' virtue signalling

Starbucks employees are bristling after being forced to sit through an entire day of training on racial bias on Tuesday, following an April incident in which a Philadelphia manager called the police on a pair of black men who were sitting in the store without having purchased anything, which sparked a nationwide protest and culminated with Starbucks becoming "America's largest public toilet."

In order to atone for the now-fired manager's poor judgement, Starbucks rolled out a new "inclusiveness" policy - shuttering 8,000 locations for a day of "Color Brave" training which included several documentary videos, notebooks for employees to record their "private thoughts," and a 68-page employee guidebook which teaches employees about topics such as institutional racism and the history of prejudice.

According to the WSJ, "they also listened to a series of audio recordings of Starbucks employees describing interactions they have had with customers in which their own biases became apparent."

The whole thing made many employees, especially African Americans, highly uncomfortable.

Louis Vuitton hired a shaman to 'tame the weather' for fashion show

Luxury brand Louis Vuitton hired a shaman to prevent rain from marring the brand's recent over-the-top show in the south of France.

Sources tell Page Six that while the guru had also been hired to tame the weather at previous shows around the world, skeptical execs at parent company LVMH had recently axed the jet-setting holy man from the budget.

But when a downpour unfashionably soaked an outdoor Dior show last week in Chantilly, France, the shaman was back on the payroll for Louis Vuitton's fashion show at the Fondation Maeght, near Antibes, this week.

Top stylist Kate Young posted as part of a fashion diary for Vogue.com for the Louis Vuitton resort show: "Vuitton hired a shaman to stave off the rain and apparently all his work succeeded (kissing trees, or so I heard), because it didn't rain until after the show finished!"

Anglican bishops invite transgenders to be priests, Russian church thinks they need to see a psychiatrist

One man's mental health diagnosis may be another man's ticket to the priesthood, according to recent developments in one of the world's largest Protestant denominations. The Anglican Communion has 85 million members worldwide, all of whom have ties with the Church of England.

To support a new Diversity Drive, and to help fill vacant spots in English churches, leading Anglican bishops have invited transgender persons to serve as priests. The Daily Telegraph reports:

The guidance, titled "welcoming and honouring LGBT+ people", warns that the church's reputation as being unwelcoming towards gay and transgender people is stopping young people attending.

"We very much hope that they, like everyone else, feel encouraged to serve on PCCs, or as churchwardens and worship leaders, for instance, and are supported in exploring vocations to licensed lay and ordained ministries," the guidance says.

"Nobody should be told that their sexual or gender identity in itself makes them an unsuitable candidate for leadership in the Church."

An unauthorized breach of the EU border may get you in deep trouble, and even cost you your precious life. Even if you happen to don a pair of horns and are pregnant to boot.

An expectant cow has been sentenced to die after it was careless enough to wander over the EU border, Agence France Presse reported.

Telling the truth? What a fucking joke. Liz Cheney is the spawn of Satan.
