Fox News publishes digitally altered and misleading images of Seattle demonstrations - CNN

Among the photos that Fox News published on its homepage was one that showed a protester running past a burning vehicle and building with the headline "CRAZY TOWN" blaring across the website. The image, which accompanied a story about the situation in Seattle, was in fact taken from the unrest last month in Minnesota.
In other photos that showed the scene in Seattle, Fox News digitally added an image of a man armed with an assault rifle.

As you assemble to graduate and receive your commissions as U.S. Army officers, consider this day an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned about leadership at West Point and what it means to be a leader of character. While you must stay above partisan politics, take a moment and use the critical thinking skills you have developed to assess whether the conduct, rhetoric and values of your graduation speaker, President Donald J. Trump, live up to the Academy’s motto of “Duty, Honor, Country” and the Army’s high expectations for leaders of American soldiers.

The Naval Academy and virtually every college and university in America reluctantly decided to cancel their spring in-person commencements in light of the Covid-19 risks. The president short-circuited the Military Academy’s assessment of whether an in-person graduation was advisable. Despite the health risks to you, your families, the West Point community, and the traveling public, the president declared he would indeed be your speaker — so he could see you in a “nice, tight formation” — unwilling to pass up the opportunity to link himself with a military he avoided serving in.

Armed group protects Confederate statue in Kentucky: ‘This is our battle line’

I'm from Louisville not ky. Armed white men can 'protest' in the capital and almost anywhere else in the state without any local or state police interference. They were allowed to walk inside the capital building and GO AROUND THE METAL DETECTORS. I believe that too many of the people who 'want' to become police and are eventually hired, are white supremist who are thrilled to get the chance to kill minorities and disrupt lives whenever possible. And the police chases. Always innocent people getting killed. 3 years ago a lovely UL fan who was a policeman; whose father is; whose brother also is; was killed sitting in his police car when his fellow policemen chased a suspect who crashed into Nick's car. There could be as many as 90% decent people who become police. Don't know. But what we do know is that there are too many who do what they want with their guns (and now their bodies) AND unfortunately their police union allows them to escape punishment, keep their jobs, and get their pensions. One of the policemen who was involved in killing Breonna Taylor (shot 8 times while asleep in her bed) has also been charged with sexual assaults, AND running over another policeman with his car.

p.s. I love Southern food. Southern beaches. Southern architecture. But the racism. That drive through Alabama through that small town with the confederate monument and flags everywhere. And to see blacks having to live near it...….
