Such shenanigans are nothing new. The winds of political correctness toward Native Americans have been causing local dust-ups since 1972, when Stanford University yielded to student complaints and changed the name of its athletic teams from the Indians to the Cardinal. Hundreds of high schools and colleges followed suit. What makes the recent battles unusual, however, is that the winds appear to be reversing course: the pro-Indian mascot forces are starting to win....

Lindell, who for months has claimed he has proof that the 2020 election results were hacked despite never providing anything remotely substantial, gave no further details such as the name of the apparent 850-year-old, or where they voted. The clip of Lindell making the unsubstantiated claims on his own website was posted onto Twitter by Salon reporter Zachary Petrizzo. “I’m going to give an example today, and I’m not going to say what state we pulled from the voter rolls to one of our team, we have a team that goes through all of it now with this other system that pulls up all anomalies....
Lindell lobbed the charges against the retail giant during multiple appearances on right-wing talk shows Wednesday and Thursday. Walmart’s decision to no longer carry MyPillow products in it thousands of stores is the latest blowback for the combative CEO who has fervently pushed Trump’s exhaustively debunked claim that the 2020 presidential election saw rampant fraud. Speaking on political strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Lindell said a Walmart executive broke the news to him over a video call that the company would no longer be carrying his bedding products in response to sagging customer ratings....

Small wonder: the new milk will be virtually indistinguishable from the old. AB cows produce BST naturally; cows that produce more of it yield more milk. With synthetic BST, farmers can turn an ordinary cow into a high-yielding one. Unfortunately, the most productive cows get the most mastitis (an udder disease commonly treated with antibiotics).

That’s one out of every 50 adults. This is an unacceptable stain on our democracy. We cannot continue to allow states to take away our citizens’ right to the ballot. Unfortunately, disenfranchisement is nothing new. We are guided by history. During the Jim Crow era, officials used poll taxes and literacy tests to disenfranchise Black residents. Today, this insidious practice continues in the form of felony disenfranchisement. There is a clear racial impact to this practice....
