Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas (D) claims to have been "verbally assaulted" by a white man at a Publix and told to "go back where you came from." Apparently, Thomas was in the 10 Items or Less lane, and Eric Sparkes didn't like that and commented to her about it. Thomas went on Facebook and filmed a tearful tirade about how she was berated, called names, and told to go back where she came from. She also says that he told her to "go back to your country."

Clint Eastwood remains the most daring conservative in Hollywood. The now 89-year-old star of cinema classics like The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Dirty Harry is still going strong as he's preparing to film his latest feature Richard Jewell. In an unsurprising buck against Hollywood's current hissy fit over the recent anti-abortion laws passed in Georgia, the legendary director has decided to shoot his new film there.

Just when you thought you've heard all the crazy.  The perpetually outraged, feverishly joyless progressive left is never happy.  America is always in crisis, people are always in crisis, the whole world is always in crisis.  And plastic straws! Imagine my surprise, then, when I saw the following headline at progressive outlet Mother Jones:  "Racial Resentment Is Down Since 2016." That's great, I thought!  We want that, don't we?  All of us:  left, right, center?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has attacked U.S. President Donald Trump and sided with the "attacked" congresswomen in his ongoing spat with the four progressive lawmakers. "I firmly distance myself from it and feel solidarity toward the attacked women," Merkel said at a press conference on Friday, referring to President's remarks.

The $25 million damages judgment plus the over $6.5 million attorney's fees and expenses award, puts Oberlin College almost $32 million in debt to Gibson's Bakery and its owners. Post-judgment interest in Ohio is 5%, which if my math is correct, on $32 million equals $1.6 million a year just in interest, or $4,384 per day. So that $32 million is going to keep growing as the inevitable appeal winds its way through the courts.

When it comes to the well-documented anti-Semitism of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) has been unafraid to push back against their actions and question their claims. For instance, Zeldin, who is Jewish, gave a blistering floor speech in March in which he slammed the sham "anti-hate" resolution passed by House Democrats in response to repeated instances involving Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes. He said, in part:

As Republicans, normal Americans, and even some moderate Democrats are lambasted as "unAmerican" at best and "racist, white supremacist Nazis" at worst for arguing that open borders is a really bad idea, a new survey conducted by The Washington Post and Mexico’s Reforma newspaper finds that the majority of Mexicans want illegal aliens in Mexico deported back to their home countries.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is not popular.  She's not popular in swing states, in her own state, nor even in her own district.  The illusion of popularity she has comes from her Twitter following and a currently enamored leftstream media.  But that kind of reputation is tenuous at best because that's the kind of faux popularity that can go as quickly as it comes (ask Wendy Davis and Sandra Fluke. And "Beto.").

Five years after a significant outbreak in Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared another international emergency over Ebola. The spread of the Ebola virus, which began in the central African nation of Congo, has been designated as a "public health emergency of international concern," a WHO spokesperson said.
