Chuck Schumer wants $1.5B to help New York get its insane number of guns off the streets, but will it help?

One thing is for certain and two things are for sure New York has a gun problem and New York doesn't quite know how to deal with it. According to Majority leader Chuck Schumer -- Democrats are prepared to ask the federal government for more than $1.5B in federal funds for a gun task force like team to help combat the extreme rise in gun violence. As many New Yorkers know, New York City has experienced a wild increase in gun violence and crime over the course of the past two or so years. Any New Yorker who has the Citizen app doesn't even have to leave their home to find out how many shootings there were in the area anymore. “The ABCs of beating back the scourge of gun violence depends on three federal letters: A, T and F,” he said at a press conference in Manhattan. “I am...

Biden ‘s nominee for fed position is facing some pretty radical racist accusations that are almost entirely untrue

Students at Michigan State University might recognise this name. Lisa Cook one of their shining professors is up for a position at the Federal Reserve as one of Biden 's nominees to the Board of Governors. But in right-wing fashion, Professor Cook is facing some pretty racially charged accusations that are actually entirely untrue but appear aimed at the fact she's a Black woman. She'd be the first Black woman ever on the board if actually successfully confirmed. “This is not the place in this time of great peril for purely race-based appointments,” former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro told the right-wing Daily Caller. “Professor Cook is more qualified to coach an NFL team than manage what may be a looming collapse of our economy from a perch at the Fed. When that collapse c...

A massive win has been handed to environmentalists

A win that stretches clear into the Gulf of Mexico over rights to drilling and the like over millions of acres. According to the judge's ruling, the U.S Interior Department did not adequately take into account or thought the issues that would arise in terms of climate change and planet warming problems. US District Judge Rudolph Contreras ultimately decided that among the millions of acres the U.S attempted to lease for drilling that the environment was more important. In the 86 page ruling, Contreras did send the plan back to the Interior Department for further review and required changes before it could actually proceed in any kind of way. Via The AP.

Oath Keepers leader to remain detained as he is considered a major public safety concern

Oath Keepers (that's a terrorist org at this point) will go forth without their leader as he will remain behind bars due to being a flight risk. According to UPI, that leader has been identified as Elmer Stewart Rhodes who is being held on sedition charges over his role in the 6 January terrorist attacks that took place against the United States of America. U.S judge Kimberly Johnson wrote in the following order that she has granted the government's request to keep him behind bars.

Spotify will remove Neil Young ‘s music because they sided with Joe Rogan and his misinformation campaign

In a not so stunning move, music giant Spotify has announced that instead of siding with the right side of common sense they have chosen profits over anything else. According to the company, the company will comply with a request made by legendary recording artist Neil Young to remove his music or remove Joe Rogan. As NBC News notes, the company has decided to remove Young 's music instead of tackling the misinformation at the helm of Rogan 's many podcast episodes. In a statement, the company claims that it will welcome back Young at any point in the future but largely missed the mark as to why Young made the ultimatum to begin with. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” Young, 76, said in an open letter to his manager and record label that was posted to his Neil You...
