The Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Is A Black Man. Here’s Why Gayle King Needed To ‘Sit With That For Just A Second’

The funniest thing you’ll see all week is the moment CBS Mornings content creator Gayle King found out the lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial who wouldn’t vote to acquit, resulting in a mistrial, was a black man. She nearly needed smelling salts.

AOC and Mamdani are seen LAUGHING together while names of dead 9/11 victims are read out

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were caught laughing together at the 9/11 25th anniversary memorial service on Friday while the names of victims were being read out by their relatives.

The Democrats were seen bursting into laughter at the solemn Ground Zero event in lower Manhattan, at the same moment that mourners stood silently around them.

A relative of a victim was seen weeping on the memorial seconds before the camera cut to Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez, while victims’ loved ones stood on stage reading the names of the deceased.

9/11 anniversary: Would Canada respond the same way now given tensions?

9/11 anniversary: Would Canada respond the same way now given tensions?

OTTAWA – Canada has supported the United States as its closest ally on numerous occasions over the decades. Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the relationship has also faced its fair share of challenges, but time and again, Canadians showed up in support of their American neighbours.

Here’s a look back at a few of the pivotal moments over the last 25 years, how the cross-border friendship has evolved, and whether prominent players from these inflection points think this country would respond differently if a 9/11-type event were to happen again.

No because helping the US would be Islamophobic PM Carney told me so.

‘Everywoman’ is apparently named Tanishawanda

A sculpture inspired by a desire to bring a contemporary “everywoman” to Trafalgar Square has been unveiled on London’s Fourth Plinth.

Lady In Blue by New York artist Tschabalala Self, which pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman, is the 16th artwork to feature on the plinth since 1998.

The bronze and blue figure replaces Mil Veces un Instante (A Thousand Times in an Instant) by Teresa Margolles.

Art is mostly race baiting bunk nowadays. h/t Patti Jo

Carney and Zelensky seek to lock Canada into 100 YEAR GRIFT

Carney and Zelensky seek to lock Canada into 100 YEAR GRIFT

There will be kind words for Ukraine and condemnations of Russia when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travels through Canada over the next two days.

But there is a more consequential reason for his visit, which will include a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet in Banff on Thursday, as well as stops in Calgary, Toronto and North Bay.

Ottawa and Kyiv are in talks toward a formal agreement that would lock in Canada’s military, political, economic and financial support for Ukraine over the long term.

Long term, meaning one hundred years.

Hell no.
