“These new people are even crazier than ever before.” The anniversary of the JFK assassination is always an event in the city — but this year, a new contingent is making residents nervous. Nearly three weeks ago, hundreds of middle-aged QAnon fanatics gathered in Dallas to witness the return of John F. Kennedy, Jr. This group believes that JFK Jr. and many other deceased celebrities — including his father, President John F. Kennedy — are not only alive, but part of a decades-long plot to take down a global pedophile cabal that secretly controls the world. Despite multiple no-shows from the former George publisher or his charismatic dad, dozens still haven’t left. In fact, one of the JFK Jr. truthers — a rapper by the name of Pryme Minister — offered the use of his property just outside Dallas, and the group’s Telegram chats indicate some of them have been living communally for weeks. This QAnon group in particular is led by a popular conspiracy theory influencer named Michael Protzman, who has prophesied the Kennedys’ return, and organized these gatherings, the latest of which took place on Monday, the anniversary of the assassination of JFK. But this time they’re not the only JFK obsessed conspiracy theorist in Dallas. Just a few block away, at the Magnolia Hotel, about three dozen people gathered for the Ninth Annual JFK Assassination Conference, three days of discussions about the latest evidence and theories regarding autopsies, CIA informants, and links to 9/11.

"Perhaps someone with mild COVID-19 symptoms may not think it is as risky to leave their house and meet with people if they're taking acetaminophen," Way said.

He made two unsuccessful bids for the Israeli Knesset, was twice a contestant on Israel’s Big Brother reality show, was arrested for failing to pay child support, invented an anti-vaccine mandate cryptocurrency and now awaits the results of an election too close to call for town supervisor of Canajoharie, New York. Benny Goldstein, 44, is currently ahead of Ronald O. Dievendorf by four votes. The Israeli-born candidate moved to the town during the coronavirus pandemic and ran as a “Trumpist Republican” against Democrat Dievendorf, a well-known pharmacist who served two terms as mayor of the village of Canajoharie, which sits inside the larger town of the same name. The region leans heavily toward the GOP. The election may ultimately be decided by the local board of elections or the courts, thanks to four quirky ballots among the 702 cast. A manual recount showed that on each of the four in question, voters filled in the “O” that is Dievendorf’s middle initial instead of the bubble next to his name.

A wet fall is about to get even wetter in BC. Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Armel Castellan shared information about significant weather on its way to BC in a rare technical briefing on Monday, November 22.

It’s easy to see why NFTs inspire both excitement and deep skepticism: They’re a completely novel asset class, and we don’t see new asset classes appear that often. But what drives the value of an asset that’s really just a digital token people can pass around? To appreciate NFTs properly, we first have to think through what they actually are and the types of market opportunities they enable. And once we unlock that, we can understand how to build businesses around them.

The man suspected of driving an SUV into crowds of people at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin was fleeing the scene of a "domestic disturbance", Waukesha police have said. Darrell E Brooks, 39, left the domestic incident "minutes" before police officers arrived on the scene, and "intentionally drove" through the crowds. He has two open criminal cases in Milwaukee County.

Long before the nascence of the Texas hotline, search histories for medication abortion and options for self-managing your abortion have been used as evidence to land people like Latice Fisher, a Black mother of three in Mississippi, in jail. Fisher had experienced a stillbirth that prosecutors tried to prove had actually been a live birth. They successfully argued that Fisher had killed her own baby, citing her previous online searches for abortion pills as evidence of her “motive.” She was incarcerated in 2018, and charges against her were dropped two years later. Before Fisher, Purvi Patel, an Indian-American woman in Indiana, was jailed and charged with feticide in 2015 for allegedly inducing an abortion after her online purchase of abortion pills was used as evidence against her. The prosecution also used as evidence Patel’s private text messages with a friend, in which she had confided that she was pregnant and searching for medication abortion online.

In 2017, Zuckerberg sparked outcry for suing Native Hawaiians over their land. But his own properties reveal a longer and even more troubling history.

The House of Representatives passed its version of the Build Back Better legislation late last week. Two of the sections in the bill are related to universal pre-k and child care subsidies. Popular coverage of these sections suggests that, once they are passed by the senate and signed by the president, these programs will become available to families across the country. But this isn’t true. In order for either of these programs to actually be set up, each state will have to pass its own pre-k and child care legislation, not only to accept the federal funds, but also to fund the state-level cost-sharing required by the legislation and to set up the various state agencies to implement the plans. This means that the programs must be approved, not just by the house, senate, and president, but also by each state’s lower house, upper house, and governor. The table below outlines which party controls these three veto points in every state.

ORTONVILLE, Mich. — Compared to conservative catchphrases of the past few years, such as “Build the wall” or “Lock her up” — or the left’s tried-and-true “F--- Donald Trump” — “Let’s Go Brandon” is downright clever. If you’ve somehow missed out on the phenomenon: The phrase was borrowed from a NASCAR reporter’s improvisational suggestion that a crowd chanting “F--- Joe Biden” was instead celebrating the first career win for the young driver Brandon Brown. As a slogan, “Let’s go Brandon!” has a schoolboy-esque, getting-away-with-it wryness that just barely cloaks its profane takedown of the sitting president. Over the past month and a half, it's become a go-to conservative code word/slogan/rallying cry, appearing everywhere from (allegedly) a Southwest Airlines flight to the otherwise squeaky-clean environs of a Brigham Young University football game. And on Saturday, for the top right-wing activist group in the key swing state of Michigan, it became a recruiting opportunity. The Michigan Conservative Coalition, founded by Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock and his wife, state GOP co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, hosted its first-ever “Let’s Go Brandon Fall Festival” that afternoon. The purpose: To celebrate a “phrase [that] has become a popular way to politely communicate that Americans are fed up with Washington, D.C.,” per the group’s president. The place — where else — Brandon Township, Mich.

Cable technicians, often called "the cable guy" with a sneer, saw their pay slashed as Spectrum reaped historic profits. But the damage goes far deeper.

Enough… is never enough. The late Larry Cohen tackled American marketing and consumerism with 1985’s The Stuff, centered on a dessert sensation that begins consuming the consumers. The film has been released to home video at various different points over the years, most recently on Blu-ray by Arrow Video, but it seems a never-before-seen version of the movie is also lurking out there. The Denver Film team just tweeted about the surprising find today, noting that they “made a remarkable discovery while looking through the 35mm reel of The Stuff.” The tweet continues, “The print came from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences and is actually the Director’s Cut with 30 extra minutes of footage not found anywhere else.”

The most plausible explanation of the CIA’s six-decade long history of deception, deceit and delay about assassination-related records is the desire to hide embarrassment or malfeasance. If nothing else, Biden’s order on the JFK files indicates that the CIA has a JFK problem: the clandestine service today cannot afford full disclosure about what happened in Dallas a long time ago. To be sure, there are other possible explanations. Mark Zaid, a leading national security attorney in Washington, suggests that the CIA is hiding legitimate non-JFK secrets. This is possible, if not probable. But the CIA, facing a deadline set by President Trump in October 2017, released no JFK documents of any kind, basically saying, “the COVID dog at my homework.” You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder if non-JFK secrets is all they are withholding.

Former Theranos Inc. President Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani says there’s no good reason for the jury in his criminal fraud trial next year to learn that one of his sports cars was decorated with a “DASKPTL” vanity license plate.

Less than two months ago, officials at Children’s Medical Center Dallas told a local website that their program offering mental health services and hormone treatments to transgender children was vital for young people with gender dysphoria. Hospital officials said the care available through the program, which focuses on multi-level care for those children and is considered the first of its kind in the Southwest, helped reduce the “significant suffering and extraordinarily high suicide” rates among transgender kids. Last week, the GENder Education and Care, Interdisciplinary Support program was formally dissolved. Known as GENECIS, the program has been criticized in recent weeks by activists who have organized protests targeting hospital board members and accused the program of committing child abuse. The activists’ allegations echo broad claims Republican Texas officials and political candidates have made this year about the gender-affirming health care that transgender children receive — assertions that medical experts say are false because doctors are not allowing children to go through with irreversible medical treatments. The harassment experienced by healthcare providers “trying to uphold their Hippocratic oath to save lives” is “heartbreaking,” according to Ricardo Martinez, CEO of Equality Texas.
