'a thing of the past'

'One in a line of difficult witnesses'

'The economy‚ Trump leads. Immigration‚ Trump leads‚ foreign conflicts‚ Trump leads'

While it's incredible to look back on any photo and see a glimpse of history‚ it is even more incredible to see that same photo in color. Often times‚ a black and white photo can make the past seem distant and hard to relate to. Once that film is in color‚ it's possible to see just how much the people in the past were (and sometimes weren't) like us. We've been able to make color photos and film... Source

Why Are So Many Student Protesters Wearing Masks&;#63;

Iranian Professor's Chilling Words on American protests: &;quot;We Like What We See&;quot;

The early morning bustle at a police depot usually isn’t the backdrop for a comedy show‚ but when officers were thrown for a loop by what they thought was a siren malfunction‚ the day took a humorous turn. The culprit was not a technical glitch‚ but a talented local bird perfectly mimicking the siren sounds.... The post Bird gives police officers the runaround by “making siren sounds” like cop cars appeared first on Animal Channel.

The Florida Heartbeat Protection Act went into effect on Wednesday in the 'Sunshine State‚' protecting babies with detectable heartbeats from the brutal effects of abortion. Both individuals in support and those in opposition uttered their feelings regarding the new law going into effect. The Act makes it so that babies at around six-weeks gestation‚ when heartbeats are generally detectable‚ cannot be aborted. According to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America‚ it has the potential to protect roughly 50‚000 lives annually. The law‚ however‚ does leave exceptions for cases where a mother’s life is at risk‚ when a fatal prenatal diagnosis occurs‚ and in cases of rape‚ incest or human trafficking. In response to the news‚ many pro-life individuals and groups celebrated the potential this has to save lives. “The Florida Heartbeat Act took effect today&;#33; That means preborn children are protected after 6 weeks gestation&;#33;” Catholic professor Michael New wrote on his X account linking to data from the Charlotte Lozier Institute about the 160 pregnancy centers in Florida who can serve more women‚ like the 88‚000-plus they served in 2022‚ now that the heartbeat law is in effect. “While not perfect‚ the Heartbeat Protection Act will nonetheless now SAVE tens of thousands of unborn children’s lives annually here in the Sunshine State&;#33;” Florida Voice for the Unborn wrote and linked to a verse in Psalms about rejoicing in what the Lord has done. On the contrary‚ pro-aborts were mad that babies would be saved. “As of this morning‚ 4 million women in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms than they had last night‚” Vice President Kamala Harris said at an appearance in Jacksonville‚ Florida on Wednesday. One user wrote‚ “The law is barbaric. Like the man who signed it‚” in response to a woman who wrote that “today marks the day‚ my daughter has less rights than the day she was born.” “Florida’s abortion ban will have a catastrophic impact on abortion access across the Southeast. As this years-long crisis continues to unfold and confusion mounts‚ abortion funds continue to show up and show out for their communities‚” The National Network of Abortion Funds wrote with a graphic that read “F**K ABORTION BANS.” Obviously‚ with new laws not everyone is going to get their way‚ but all I can say is that babies get to live and nobody should be against that.

Like being able to visit museums without climate freaks throwing soup on world-renowned paintings&;#63; Looking to enjoy a night out at a gala&;#63; Need a peaceful commute without anyone blocking the road&;#63; If the answer to any of these questions is no‚ CBS Mornings all but said no way‚ Jose. On Thursday‚ they ran a lengthy puff piece fawning over Climate Defiance and even followed them as they interrupted the March 6 gala for our friends at American Moment.     Co-host Nate Burleson incredibly wove in the climate freaks with the live scenes from UCLA as “police are clashing with protesters against the war in Gaza”. “College campuses aren’t the only places where protesters are making their voices heard. This morning in our Climate Watch series‚ we’re focusing on climate activists who are taking direct action to make their point. Last week one group blockaded the entrance to the global headquarters of CitiGroup in Manhattan. They demanded the banking giant stop funding fossil fuel interests‚” boasted fill-in co-host Jericka Duncan. She added “[s]enior national and environmental correspondent Ben Tracy [took] a closer look at one climate group that says it doesn’t need to be liked to be effective.” The chyron was unsurprisingly stupid: “Climate Watch; Protests for the Planet; A Look at What’s Driving Climate Activists to Get Aggressive”. With that stacked deck‚ Tracy gave unassuming and seemingly neutral (i.e. pro-thuggery) open: “Blocking traffic‚ throwing red powder on a case housing the U.S. Constitution‚ and dousing a global-covered Van Gogh with soup‚ climate protesters are not just marching in the streets. They’re finding new and more aggressive ways to demand climate action.” Tracy was then shown following around Climate Defiance in their preparation‚ execution‚ and aftermath of their storming of the American Moment gala. Tracy and CBS cameras even palled around with one of their leaders as they scouted out the hotel a day beforehand. Of course‚ Tracy denied our friends the full free advertising by refusing to name them (click “expand”): MAXWELL DOWNING: We can still cause a little bit of a scene. Cause some chaos. TRACY: On a recent Wednesday night in Washington‚ D.C. — DOWNING: I know exactly the route that we can go. TRACY: — 21-year-old Maxwell Downing shared his plan to cause a scene at this nearby hotel. [TO DOWNING] What exactly are you guys doing tonight&;#63; DOWNING: We’re going to a fancy‚ schamncy gala that J.D. Vance — Republican senator from Ohio — is going to be speaking at. J.D. Vance is one of the top 20 recipients of oil and gas money in Congress. TRACY: Downing cased the hotel the day before they found the best escape routes. DOWNING [TO FELLOW THUGS]: Who does not have $50 in cash&;#63; TRACY: So‚ after making sure that everyone had money in case they got arrested — DOWNING [at American Moment gala]: J.D. Vance is a climate supervillain&;#33; TRACY: — these climate protesters stormed the ballroom — DOWNING: Come out‚ J.D.‚ face us. CLIMATE DEFIANCE PROTESTER: He’s a climate criminal. TRACY: — interrupting the event until security finally threw them out. DOWNING: Face us&;#33; Off fossil fuels&;#33; AMERICAN MOMENT SECURITY GUARDS: Get out. Get out. DOWNING: Immediately‚ security guards hands around the neck‚ which is not usual. Nearly a minute and a half into the five-minute-and-37-second block‚ Tracy finally identified the group as Climate Defiance‚ taking them at their word that they don’t “engage in vandalism or violence” and have “become notorious for surprise confrontations with oil executives...and politicians on both sides of the aisle.” Tracy even served at the group’s unofficial spokesman by having CBS ask Senator J.D. Vance “for his reaction to the disruption” at the gala he was speaking at. Of course‚ Vance’s team “did not respond”. One could presume this question to Climate Defense executive director Michael Greenberg was meant to be adversarial: “When you burst into a room and you call somebody like Senator Manchin a sick f-word‚ what is the outcome you’re hoping to achieve&;#63;” Greenberg was unapologetic in explaining they “don’t necessarily expect to move Manchin or whatnot” but instead “make climate change a top issue in American politics”....via intimidation. “He says their protests are designed to go viral on social media‚ attracting new members to their cause‚ and raising awareness of climate change as an existential issue‚” Tracy added. Tracy’s other question came with a drive-by-ish tone: “Do you worry about turning people off‚ that they see you as more annoying or more of a threat than actually helping the cause you say you’re trying to help&;#63;” The only mild‚ official pushback from Dana Fisher‚ an American University professor who penned “a new book about climate activism” (Click “expand”): GREENBERG: We’re trying to shake the public awake. TRACY [TO GREENBERG]: Do you worry about turning people off‚ that they see you as more annoying or more of a threat than actually helping the cause you say you’re trying to help&;#63; GREENBERG: Yeah‚ we’re definitely an acquired taste. Not everybody loves us. You don’t need to be popular to be effective. FISHER: And their goal is media attention‚ plain and simple. [TO STUDENTS] When you guys look at the general population — TRACY: Dana Fisher is a professor at American University and author of a new book about climate activism. DOWNING: He is a criminal&;#33; TRACY: She calls these kinds of activists “shockers‚” not unlike some of the AIDS activists of the 1980s who desperately tried to get people’s attention. [TO FISHER] How do we know if this is actually effective&;#63; FISHER: I think it’s going to be a hindsight thing. I mean‚ I do not think that the whole movement should shift toward these kinds of actions because I think it will be a detriment to the movement itself‚ but it is playing a role in helping to keep the conversation going. The CBS correspondent closed by bragging that “they have had some success” in securing “a meeting with John Podesta‚ the White House’s chief climate adviser” and were “part of the pressure campaign that recently led President Biden to pause the expansion of liquefied natural gas exports.” Duthiers gushed about how “this is such a great piece” with “a lot to digest‚” adding “you can understand that they want cameras there...because it does cause people to pay attention” since “politicians...have enacted or have at least put plans into place to address climate issues.” Duncan also voiced her support: “But only time really will tell in terms of what action is actually taken‚ what policies are actually passed as a result of bringing attention to something that I think everyone‚ at this point recognizes‚ is a problem.” “We love shock value. But we’ll see if this is counterproductive or not in the future‚” Burleson said.
