ONE regrettable college party event and you try to generalize it?

Which would be a disaster for the CFL under any circumstances that I can conceive of.

I look forward to these and enjoy them but do not claim to represent everyone.

As our offspring mature and have lives with responsibilities of their own, we have to grasp every opportunity to keep in touch and be grateful.

I would bet the farm that if you spent the time to do the research, you would find the Cons have committed more such gaffes than the rest of the political parties combined.

Why wait? Christmas comes early sometimes.

The video clip supports Wab's version of events moreso than Khan's. On a related note, Khan deserves to be challenged about why he would join a party that has a long and sad history of racial and other intolerance.

Is Russia Covering Up an Assassination Attempt on Putin? A drone that crashed outside of Moscow earlier this week was packed with 17 kilos of explosives meant to take out Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a new report. The German news outlet Bild, citing unnamed sources, claimed Thursday that Russian authorities are trying to keep the failed attack by Ukraine a secret. The alleged attack, according to Bild, took place on Sunday, when Russian media reported that a drone had crashed in a village not far from the Rudnevo Industrial Park, where the Russian leader was rumored to be planning a visit. It remains unclear if Putin really was meant to visit Rudnevo that day. Equally unclear is how, if there really was such an assassination attempt, Ukrainian authorities could have known the Russian leader’s movements. Yuriy Romanenko, a Ukrainian activist, had tweeted a day after the drone crash claiming there was much more to the story than that which had been reported. “Last week, our intelligence officers received information about Putin’s trip to the industrial park in Rudnevo. Accordingly, our guys launched a kamikaze drone that flew through all the air defenses of the Russian Federation and fell not far from the industrial park,” Romanenko claimed at the time. The claims come amid heightened fears in Russia of Ukraine taking the war to Russian territory after a series of drone attacks in recent weeks. Overnight Thursday, Russians in and around St. Petersburg woke up to the sounds of an explosion that reportedly left a massive crater at the site of an old thermal power station. The Investigate Committee confirmed the blast after residents of Russia’s second-largest city flooded social media with panicked messages about the blast. Investigators say the explosion in Pavlovsk, about 19 miles from St. Petersburg, was caused by an “unidentified device” at the site of an old, unused thermal power station.

COVID pawsitive: A pilot study successfully used dogs to sniff out COVID-19 in schoolchildren Not only did dogs excel at screening for COVID-19, but researchers saved on medical waste from antigen tests too. Dogs at the Miami airport are being trained to sniff out COVID-19. Here's how it works "While modifications are needed before widespread implementation, this study supports use of dogs for efficient and noninvasive COVID-19 screening and could be used for other pathogens," the researchers stated. In the paper, the researchers explained that their goal was to use dogs to screen for possible COVID-19 cases, and to only use antigen tests on kids whom the dogs screened as positive. The idea came to Dr. Carol A. Glaser, who works for the California Department of Public Health, when she and her colleagues kept bumping up against all the barriers schools faced to do routine COVID-19 antigen testing. "It took a lot of personnel time to be able to do those tests because we often relied on teachers or their administrative staff to do it," Glaser told Salon. "It would take the children out of school time, and there was a lot of biomedical waste that was generated." "So we began to think, 'wouldn't this be great if the dogs could do the initial screening of the students and the staff?'" Meanwhile, they heard about how dogs could potentially detect COVID-19 in people. Indeed, when a person is infected with the COVID-19, or any disease, it causes metabolic changes that result in the production of something called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are often associated with man-made chemicals, and are off-gassed from certain drying paints and lacquers. But volatile organic compounds also scent perfumes, and they are emitted by animals and plants as well. Certain VOCs are expelled from a person's breath and sweat when they have COVID-19, and dogs can be trained to detect such scents.

Leakers Reveal Kremlin Secretly Panicking Over Putin’s Arrest Warrant “This is essentially a call to overthrow the government in Russia,” one official reportedly said at a special meeting to address the arrest warrant. The Kremlin is panicking behind the scenes about the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes, according to current and former Russian officials who spoke with The Moscow Times. Just after the ICC announced the arrest warrant, issued over Putin’s alleged involvement in illegally deporting children from Ukraine and kidnapping them, the Kremlin organized a special meeting to discuss Russia’s response, according to the report.

Carlson's sudden departure will make little difference at Faux News. If they back off their validation and promotion of thinly disguised racism, homophobia and gynophobia, they lose their slavering, fascist audience and that will remove 90% of their audience and all of their income.

'Suddenly silent' Tucker Carlson lawyers up: report Tucker Carlson, after parting ways with Fox News Monday morning, has reportedly retained a powerful and “aggressive” entertainment attorney, which could mean the right-wing cable channel might be facing yet another lawsuit, or at least a likely legal battle. A Fox News statement said, “FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” but reports throughout the day have increasingly described the breakup not as a resignation, nor as a mutually agreed split, but as a firing, although that has not been confirmed. Carlson, who promoted conspiracy theories and lies, racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist views, and falsehoods about the January 6 insurrection, was the networks’s top star. Brian Stelter, the former CNN media reporter, tweeted that Carlson has “retained the famously aggressive entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman.” (He also notes now-former CNN anchor Don Lemon has also retained the same lawyer.)

Outrage after officer who killed Breonna Taylor is hired as deputy sheriff To critics of War on Drugs, the Breonna Taylor case is a textbook example of why U.S. drug policy has been an abysmal failure — and one with a long list of innocent victims. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician in Louisville, Kentucky, was pursuing a career in nursing when, on March 13, 2020, she was fatally shot during a drug raid in an apartment where she was living. Taylor wasn't involved in drug trafficking in any way, but Louisville police suspected that drug-related activity was taking place in that apartment. Three police officers were involved in that raid — Myles Cosgrove, Jonathan Mattingly and Brett Hankison — and Cosgrove, according to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, fired the shot that killed Taylor. Cosgrove was fired by the Louisville Police Department following an investigation, but according to Mother Jones reporter Samantha Michaels, he has found a new job in law enforcement — this time, with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky. That agency, Michaels reports in an article published on April 23, has "confirmed" the hiring to local reporters. https://www.alternet.org/breonna-taylor-killer-deputy-sheriff/
