You stand in line for hours to vote, or finally manage to receive a mail-in ballot you can mark at home. You cast it, but wonder if it will be counted accurately. It turns out there’s another question you should be asking: Will your vote be counted at all?

Listen to prominent voting rights leader Barbara Arnwine discuss the “spoilage” of votes, especially in the Black community, and what can be done about it. 

Outspoken British comedian Ricky Gervais has once again exposed, in his usual direct manner, the escalating use of the term “hate speech” to crush any dissenting view from the mainstream narratives has unleashed “a new weird sort of fascism.”

In an interview with talkRADIO host Kevin O’Sullivan, Gervais dismissed the new ‘trendy myth’ that the only people who want free speech want to use it to say terrible things:

Du 3 au 5 juillet, les Rencontres économiques se sont tenus à la Maison de la radio. Un grand événement organisé par le Cercle des économistes, où interviennent grands patrons, responsables publics, journalistes en vue, économistes libéraux et une poignée de voix critiques. Bref : une parodie de pluralisme et de démocratie dans un océan d’orthodoxie libérale… consacrée par le service public !

While the mortality rate from COVID-19 is far lower than initially projected, the disease can leave people with a bevy of health problems of unknown duration; from fatigue, to lingering respiratory issues, to loss of taste and smell.

Now, we can add heart damage to the list of common post-COVID complications, according to a new study.

According to a Monday court filing (see below), Ghislaine Maxwell bolted to another room when FBI agents showed up to her secluded New Hampshire estate to arrest the accused sex-trafficker.

When agents entered, they found a cell phone wrapped in tin-foil sitting on a desk in what prosecutors described as a “misguided effort to evade detection, not by the press or public, which of course would have no ability to trace her phone or intercept her communications, but by law enforcement.”

A former Jewel thief who uses the pseudonym William Steel says that he knew both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell personally and that they showed him recordings of “two prominent US politicians having sex with minors.”

He said that the pair forced him to watch the videos to prove that they had power, and that they bragged about “owning” influential figures and world leaders.

St. Louis authorities confiscated an AR-15 used by Mark McCloskey, who made headlines with his wife Patricia last month when they defended their historic mansion from protesters who had broken down a gate to trespass on their private road.

As cities ground to a pandemic-induced standstill, the very places that once provided a welcome break from the pressure of modern life — restaurants, bars, and cafes — faced a threat to their own survival. 

Quaint Parisian cafés hollowed out; German beer gardens devoid of merriment; bustling tapas bars silent — that was the picture in Europe even as the economy began to reopen.

A highly respected Chinese virologist has fled Hong Kong and says that the Chinese government knew about COVID-19 long before they claim they did, and that her supervisors – some of the top experts in the field – ignored research she was conducting at the onset of the pandemic which she says could have saved lives, according to an exclusive interview with Fox News.

Mary Trump, President Donald Trump’s niece, has written a tell-all book that portrays her uncle as a man unhinged, obsessed with winning, and still afraid of what his father might say if he loses.

During the coronavirus pandemic, education has been one of the most disrupted sectors in our unsettled society. Parents, students, teachers, administrators, and support staff have had to significantly readjust their lives as school districts have shut down or offered remote learning options. College students left campus to finish their semesters remotely or, in the case of many international students, found themselves stranded in their dorm rooms, unable to return to their home countries.

This story is part of WhoWhatWhy’s ongoing series on the challenges and opportunities the coronavirus pandemic poses for the US education system on all levels. A team of our reporters, all stakeholders in the education system, is specifically looking at those education-related issues that others are not covering, to examine how the coronavirus is affecting America’s most vulnerable populations.
