In Georgia and every other state, district attorneys are governed by ethics rules that identify them as “ministers of justice.” While their enterprise is secular, we still rely on them to walk their talk. When they fail to do so, our faith in the legal system is shaken. These ethics rules apply in the Rayshard Brooks shooting case. Some may cheer the speed with which District Attorney Paul Howard brought charges....
Prosecutors outlined their accusations in a document filed in Fall River Superior Court on Monday explaining a perjury charge against Shayanna Jenkins, The Herald News reported. The accusation about the box had previously been made during her arraignment.

A: Protein shakes may be good for an “emergency meal,” but I’d vote for cereal as the breakfast for champions. Here’s why protein shakes don’t get my vote: Protein shakes are protein rich, but how much protein do you really need? Most active people consume plenty of protein in their standard diet, and the body has no physiological need for excess protein. Your muscles would actually prefer three times more carbohydrates than protein because carbs are a better source of the muscle fuel....
The incident was first captured on a Facebook Live video being broadcast by local resident Chris Ellis on Wednesday before later being shared on social media. The footage shows the officer going to open a patrol vehicle door as the lid is thrown off camera and hits the officer in the back of the head. The officer was wearing a protective helmet at the time and did not sustain serious injuries....
In a video posted to Twitter by independent photographer Leeroy Johnson, protesters were seen gathered outside the building on Wednesday morning. Johnson reported the demonstration was against the state’s vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 requirements. Music playing in the background of the clip included the lyrics, “I ain’t wearing no mask. You can’t make me afraid.” Hochul, the first female governor in the state’s history, is slated to speak at 1 p....
Ethan Nordean, also known as Rufio Panman, is accused by the FBI of being the de-facto leader of the far-right group on January 6. Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio was arrested two days prior and subsequently barred from Washington D.C. Nordean, the self-described “Sergeant of Arms” for the Seattle Chapter of the Proud Boys, is accused of leading a mob of about 100 Proud Boys members and supporters through the streets of D....
On Friday, Donohoe, who led the alt-right group’s North Carolina chapter, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and agreed to fully cooperate with the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into last year’s storming of the Capitol. As outlined in Donohoe’s plea deal, the 34-year-old, who was part of a group of roughly 100 Proud Boys who participated in the attack, has agreed to a full cooperation with the federal investigation—a development that could significantly help prosecutors with their cases against the remaining defendants....
The clip featuring the self-proclaimed supporter of the far-right group was posted online by actor and blogger Walter Masterson and took place during a Trump rally in Staten Island, New York. The Proud Boys supporter, who is not identified, describes how the group are “not brawlers” despite being known for their violent rallies and altercations with left-wing groups and movements such as antifa. “But we’re there. We’re like the Marines, we’re the first to come in,” he adds....
A video of the billionaire laughing during various interviews and appearances has gained almost 2 million views since it was posted on TikTok three days ago by an account called @ceo_jeff_bezos_official. “Has Jeff Bezos’ laugh changed as he’s gotten richer?” asks the on-screen caption. The compilation of Bezos clips was made by a YouTube user named Baris Aktas and first published in November 2020. It has been watched more than 3....
The Tuttle Twins is a series of books that assists “freedom-loving parents” in educating their children about “free market” values that they say are no longer taught in schools. In a new advertisement, posted to YouTube on June 17, the company says that the long-running British cartoon is exposing kids to communism and socialist ideals. “It seems a big part about being a mom these days, is helping your kids unlearn the crazy ideas they’re exposed to in the world,” the mother in the commercial says, while holding a drawing of Peppa Pig dressed in stereotypical Soviet communist attire....
The forward is on Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio’s provisional list for this summer’s tournament in Russia and says it would be his last international tournament. “It’s going to be my last World Cup. After Russia, I’m retiring from the national team,” Peralta told MarcaClaro . The 34-year-old went to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, scoring against Cameroon, but enters this summer in much worse form than he did in 2014....
Especially troubling, Perot said, were inquiries by several news organizations (including NEWSWEEK) into charges that he had ordered private investigators to probe the lives and backgrounds of his daughters’ boyfriends. A week before Perot quit, one of his close friends told NEWSWEEK that Perot was “perturbed, very upset” about the media inquiries. He insisted there was no truth to the charges, the friend said. But he was worried that publication would needlessly involve his daughters in the political wars....
There’s one problem with the notion of Perot as Cincinnatus: it’s not entirely accurate. Perot, a high-level political kibitzer for years, began seriously considering a presidential run late last summer. He told friends at the time that he was holding back only because, as one put it, “he didn’t want to subject his family to the process.” Last November he was greeted as a hero by grass-roots activists at a convention in Tampa, Fla....
He was not mean-spirited like Nixon, with contempt for blacks, Jews and liberals, nor did he regard political opponents as enemies of the republic. He radiated civility and took disagreement in stride as a natural part of political life. He held together the Republican Party, that incongruous partnership of the country club and the revival meeting. He had a distinct course to steer in domestic affairs. When younger and perhaps wiser, he had cast his first four presidential votes for Franklin D....
Sao Paulo playmaker Cueva was a key part of the Peru team that clinched a place in Russia with a play-off victory over New Zealand this week. It is the first time since 1982 that the Inca will be at a finals, and the euphoria in the country was such that the following day was declared a national holiday by the government. And it appears that Cueva carried on celebrating well past that holiday, as he missed two days of training at Sao Paulo....
Buttigieg’s remarks were in line with the stated theme of the evening, America’s Promise. Many of the speakers focused on Biden’s image as a compassionate leader. Buttigeig spoke about his vision of a more inclusive America as a hallmark of Biden’s potential administration. “Can America be a place where faith is about healing and not exclusion?” Buttigieg asked. “Can we become a country that lives up to the truth that Black lives matter?...
The Democrat made another appearance on Fox News, where he’s become a frequent guest and defender of former Vice President Joe Biden, and highlighted the recent news about the president’s previously unknown account. Buttigieg was asked about Hunter Biden’s business deals. Trump and his allies have focused on unproven allegations of corruption against the former vice president’s son in recent weeks. The quote “As far as I know, even Fox News hasn’t confirmed the authenticity of a lot of this stuff being thrown around there....
The Change.org petition, which is addressed to Dr. Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, implores both to return the Rose Garden to its original appearance. Melania Trump’s redesign of the iconic garden proved to be a controversial point, with commentators criticizing the lack of color. The removal of the crab apple trees was also seen as a sticking point, as trees of that type had been a constant in the garden since it was transformed by iconic former first lady Jackie Kennedy in 1962....
On April 15 last year, Brady’s TB12 company received $960,855 from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), as per data released two months ago by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Change.org petition calls for Brady to “pay back this money or at least donate an equal amount of money to small businesses that would have received this money if his name did not get more attention.” The PPP is part of the small business lending program created under the CARES Act, a $2....
This once was Peyton Manning’s town. All his. It belonged so distinctly to him that many loyal Colts fans can’t quite abandon their attachment, even though 4 ½ seasons have passed since he last threw a football to one of their receivers.
