Podcast appearances and mentions of derek chauvin

C dans l'air l'invité du 7 septembre avec Philippe Chauvin, auteur de "Rugby : mourir fait partie du jeu" aux éditions du Rocher. Un froid matin de décembre, Philippe Chauvin dépose à la gare son fils Nicolas, 18 ans, qui va jouer son premier match en tant que titulaire en catégorie Espoirs du Stade français Paris. Il ne savait pas que ce serait la dernière fois qu'il le verrait en vie… Un double plaquage brutal occasionne un arrachement fatal de la seconde vertèbre cervicale. La même année, quatre jeunes vont mourir des suites d'un choc sur un terrain de rugby. Depuis, Philippe Chauvin se bat pour que son fils ne soit pas mort en vain. Il réclame que les lumières soient faites sur les responsabilités et que les règles existantes, qui prohibent les gestes dangereux, soient réellement appliquées. Mais, après quelques semaines d'émotion pendant lesquelles l'auto-proclamée "grande famille du rugby" multiplie les déclarations de solidarité, c'est un silence embarrassé puis agacé qui seul lui répond. Ce livre retrace son cheminement, des gradins des petits stades de banlieue aux salles de réception du Stade français, en passant par le ministère des Sports ou les bureaux de la Fédération française de rugby. Il raconte les belles promesses et les réponses qui ne viennent pas. Face à un milieu gouverné par l'omerta et les gros sous, le combat d'un homme seul, lucide et déterminé, qui veut faire changer une culture sportive et des institutions indifférentes. Son témoignage s'adresse à tous les passionnés et aux familles qui s'intéressent à la pratique du rugby, pour qu'ils puissent apprécier par eux-mêmes les risques encourus.

On August 24, 2023, Ta'kiya Young decided to drive her car into an Ohio police officer. That officer fired a single round through her windshield, causing mortal injury. Unknown to the officer, Young was pregnant, and the baby was also lost.Police were stopping Young as she sat in her car in a shopping parking lot because she was suspected of stealing alcohol from a local store. Young was, of course, non-compliant with lawful orders, to the point of threatening a police officer with imminent deadly force.As it happens, Young was black, and the officers involved were white, so we have fertile ground for the racial polarization of this case. Was this shooting of Young lawful? Should the officers involved be given the Derek Chauvin treatment? Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

In life, friends come and go. Some friendships begin in childhood. Others come to be after we're adults.

Remember George Floyd and the summer of riots? It seems like the Left wants us to have blurred memories of their push to create social justice martyrs, and if they had their way, they would encourage the Supreme Court to turn a blind eye as well. Derek Chauvin, the police officer convicted of George Floyd's murder, has been denied a new (fair) trial by two courts, so now he is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Will he get a new trial? Raw Egg Nationalist joins to discuss his new piece on the social justice and cultural concerns raised by the Chauvin appeal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another Jan 6 lie is blown-up and Hunter's lawyers lied to the courtThe evidence against FigureHead Biden has reached the “he's clearly guilty” point and even Kevin McCarthy has said its worthy of impeachment proceedings, this alongside new revelations of the illegal actions of Hunter Biden's lawyers. We discuss police officer Gonnell, who was on duty for the January 6th event at the Capitol, and who lied about what happened that day. The media continues to perpetuate the lies of what Gonnell claims to have transpired, meanwhile Derek Chauvin's appeal after his unfair trial for the murder of George Floyd, will not be heard by the Minnesota Supreme Court.What does God's Word say? What does it mean that “God gave them over” in Romans 1:24–28?Episode 987 Links:Hunter Biden's lawyers IMPERSONATED opposing counsel to have evidence against their client removed from the docket.

He has testified under oath and in federal court proceedings that he suffered near-death injuries. New J6 video contradicts Gonell's claims that protesters inflicted head, shoulder, hand, and foot injuries so egregious that he required surgery and medical leave.

In this episode, taxpayers, tax cheats and tax crimes. Congressional hearing ironies on stalled investigations. Protecting one without tainting the other.

The hosts of "The KGB Show" join Sara to discuss the liberal mainstream media, which once again failed to tell the story correctly. Misleading headlines popped up all over the internet after a Nebraska teen was charged with burning the remains of her illegally aborted, 29-week-old, pre-term baby. The media claimed that Celeste Burgess was found guilty of late-term abortion, but that was a LIE. Last summer, outlets like Vice and HuffPost claimed that the police forced Facebook to hand over data to charge the teen and her mother with criminal abortion, but in reality, the police began investigations after receiving a tip that the teen had miscarried a pregnancy and that her mother helped her dispose of the body. The FBI is under fire after a newly released testimony from a senior FBI official testified that the agency informed Twitter that Hunter Biden's laptop was indeed real on the same day that the New York Post broke the story. Derek Chauvin is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court after receiving a huge blow from Minnesota's Supreme Court this week. The Minnesota Supreme Court refused to hear his case, leaving him one last chance to gain back his freedom.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Heather: One of my unique talents, I would say, is my ability to connect disparate ideas together. I've always said that my work operates at the intersection of my—my curiosity is really at the intersection of people, ideas and places.“About three years ago, all of us were sheltering in place due to the global pandemic. During that time, we were shocked at what was a public lynching of an African-American man [George Floyd] in Minnesota at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer whose name is Derek Chauvin,” says Giving Gap CEO Heather Infantry of the context for the nonprofit's founding.Despite the extraordinary challenges of 2020, Giving Gap was born. “The human spirit is eternally hopeful and optimistic and with intention to do good in the most dire of situations,” Heather says. “It was that feeling that prompted so many of us to want to do something. We saw philanthropic dollars going to organizations. We saw a call to support black businesses. We saw community members reaching out to neighbors and volunteering—all these different kinds of ways. It is out of that energy and urgency that Giving Gap was born.Co-Founder Christina Lewis was sheltering in place in New York, watching 2020 unfold.Heather recounts:As a serial entrepreneur, she sprung into action and thought, okay, “I've always been in this nonprofit philanthropic space. What can I do from where I sit in this community?” So she rallied her colleagues, her peers, her friends, her coworkers–anyone that she knew–and implored them to support Black nonprofit organizations very much in the same way that folks were asking to support Black businesses.Today, Heather says that of the $450 billion that Americans give to charity each year, only a tiny fraction ends up in Black organizations. Giving Gap works to change that.“We're finding that a lot of Black organizations are founded by folks who, at some point, grappled with the same issues that their organization was created to address,” she says. “So when you think about that kind of expertise, that lived experience brings to solutions that you're creating and think as an extension of that, we're seeing a very human-centered way in which black founders, black leaders, black organizations approach community work.”In this work, Heather deploys her superpower, a finely honed ability to connect people, ideas and places. AI Podcast Summary* Devin Thorpe interviews Heather, the CEO of The Giving Gap, a nonprofit that profiles Black-founded nonprofits to help them close the funding gap.* Black-founded nonprofits receive less funding than white-founded nonprofits, and The Giving Gap aims to address this disparity.* The Giving Gap was inspired by the public lynching of a Black man in Minnesota and the larger social and economic disparities revealed by the pandemic.* The organization has created a website where donors can discover and support Black organizations doing good work in their communities.* The goal of The Giving Gap is to mobilize dollars to close the gap in giving and provide resources to Black nonprofits.* One strength of Black-led nonprofits is their ability to do more with less and their tendency to collaborate and innovate.* Black founders and leaders bring unique lived experiences and a human-centered approach to community work.* The Giving Gap aims to challenge the traditional definition of a high-performing nonprofit and highlight the attributes and characteristics unique to Black organizations.* Heather's superpower is her ability to connect disparate ideas, people, and places, which she uses to facilitate conversations, foster relationships, and generate new ideas.* Some advice for making connections is to be curious, open, and ask questions, share parts of yourself, listen authentically, and connect the dots between what you hear and your own experiences and interests.How to Develop Connecting People, Ideas and Places As a SuperpowerHeather sees relationship building as a central part of her superpower. She cited a longitudinal Harvard study on well-being that began in 1939 and continues today.After following these people and their partners and their coworkers and their offspring, reflecting on what it means to have a good quality of life, the single greatest factor is our relationships. It doesn't matter what you rank socially, economically, your title, or how much money is in your bank. At the end of the day, the marker of a good life is defined by the quality of those relationships.Working at this intersection of people, ideas and places, Heather collaborated with a local leader to reenvision a local highway in Atlanta. In doing that work, we would bring folks to reimagine different things. We did an ideas competition in reimagining our 285 highway, which is a highway system that circles the city. The point of that was just to get people to look at and notice their environment and to demand other ways in which it could be used. We see a highway there, and we think, well, that's it, it's permanent. Nothing else can be done. But that's not actually the case. The same way that the Beltline was this abandoned rail line that now has become this massive transit corridor that's connecting cities with trails. As a result, commercial development has sprung all through it.I think that's one of the greatest lessons that I've learned that further deepens my superpower of connecting people, because it's all about just noticing things, being curious and wondering what are other ways in which this could be better, be more enjoyable, give us more time with each other.Heather has some advice to help you develop this superpower:* Be curious* Be open* Ask questions* Share parts of yourselfShe suggests remembering in the context of a formal meeting with an agenda that there are things we can “peel away” that you just can't plan. They reveal themselves in the moment—if you're open to them.The last step, she says, is to connect the dots. “Connect what you Hear to something about yourself. Offer to help. Make an introduction. Pick up a book because of something that you heard that you want to know more information,” she says.By following her example and advice, you can make connecting people, ideas and places a skill that enables you to be more effective. With practice, it could become a superpower that empowers you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileHeather Infantry (she/her):CEO, Giving GapAbout Giving Gap: Giving Gap is an online platform of Black-founded nonprofits in the US whose mission is to advance racial equity in giving and mobilize positive action for Black lives by connecting people to causes they care about.Website: givinggap.orgTwitter Handle: @givinggapCompany Facebook Page: fb.com/closethegivinggapBiographical Information: In addition to serving as CEO for Giving Gap, Heather Infantry is also the Founder of the Atlanta Taskforce for Philanthropic Reparations, created in response to her public call out of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta's exclusion of Black arts organizations in COVID relief funding.

Just over three years ago George Perry Floyd Jr. was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis during an arrest after a store clerk suspected that Floyd had used a counterfeit $20 bill.Derek Chauvin, one of four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for more than nine minutes. “I can't breathe,” Floyd wheezed to no avail.The incident renewed calls for police reform. However, with Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, nothing has happened. We'll talk about police reform with our guest, conflict resolution expert Dwayne Bryant. So stay with us.Best-selling author, Dwayne Bryant founded Inner Vision International, Inc. (IVI) which provides results-oriented social emotional curricula and professional development workshops for students, parents, teachers, law enforcement, academic institutions, and corporate America.Dwayne provides leadership, life management, and social emotional training. As a result of Dwayne's work improving police and community relations and educating parents about the potential dangers of social media, he was awarded The FBI Director's Community Leadership Award.In the wake of the public outcry against police brutality, Dwayne created THE STOP™ series which includes an online 17-part series, The NEW Conversation – Improving Police and Community Relations™, explaining the tensions between police and Black and Brown communities.Dwayne…welcome to our podcast. Please tell us what your work is all about.Q. I read today that a new Justice Department report says the Minneapolis Police Department engaged in the systemic use of excessive force and discriminated against minorities for years before the Floyd killing in 2020. What needs to be done to resolve conflicts between the police and residents, particularly those in Black and Brown communities?Q. You made the comment that electing Brandon Johnson as Chicago's mayor “shows a turn for the better” when it comes to improving the relationships between cops and the community. Is that because he supports having more mental health workers employed within law enforcement?Q. Last year Congress passed the Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act of 2022, requiring the Department of Justice to develop training curriculums on topics including alternatives to the use of force, de-escalation, and responding to a person in crisis. Was that a positive step and what else is needed?Q. What is your view of the political situation in the US these days? Did actions by the Trump administration affect relationships between the community and the police?Q. In 2021, the then Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on a mostly party-line vote passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021, but it died in the evenly divided, but Democratic controlled, Senate amid opposition from Republicans. Negotiations between Republican and Democratic senators collapsed, and the bill died. The intent of the bill was to hold law enforcement accountable for misconduct, improve transparency, and reform police training and policies. It was opposed by the police unions. What are your thoughts about that?Q. One of the provisions would restrict the application of the qualified immunity doctrine for local and state officers. Can you explain what that's all about? Should that doctrine be scrubbed?Q. Another provision would require state and local law enforcement agencies that receive federal funding to adopt anti-discrimination policies and training programs, including those targeted at fighting racial profiling. Does that need to happen?Q. What about the bill's mandate that federal law enforcement officers use deadly force only as a last resort and that de-escalation be attempted. Federal funding would be contingent on the adoption of such a policy. Is that needed?Q. Tell us about The New Conversation, which you developed to reduce tensions between police and communities of color.Q. What is the STOP program all about? How does that work? You have a book based on that, right?Q. Your company, Vision International, Inc., has been developing results-oriented curricula and workshops for over 26 years. Tell us about that work and those workshops. What do they cover?Q. As a graduate of the FBI Citizen's Academy, you are community advisor to the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability. Tell us about that.Q. What strategies can cities like Chicago and Minneapolis employ to reduce excessive use of force and misconduct by police when it comes to communities of color?Q. How can people find your book and reach out to you for engagements?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4719048/advertisement

It's hard not to get overwhelmed when parenting neurodivergent kids. The chaos, the school meetings, the appointments, the seemingly never-ending need… it's a lot to juggle. But what our souls crave — what we need to truly live — is joy, ease, and presence.  In this episode, Heather Chauvin of Emotionally Uncomfortable reminds us that overwhelm is just a symptom, not a lifestyle. Instead, focusing on how you feel and how you want to feel can create a transformation in your body, mind, and spirit. Listen in to learn how to take charge of your energy and how you feel.

In today's episode I am chatting with the incredible Heather Chauvin. Heather is a leadership coach who helps successful women courageously and authentically live, work, and parent on their own terms. Today we are talking about connecting with how you want to feel in your life. Maybe you want to feel more alive, maybe you want to feel more free...what is that root feeling and how do you get there? Heather shares how through simple habits, in just ten minutes a day, you can connect to that feeling and make it a reality.

The Debrief is joined this week by the Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, who talks about his prosecution in the Derek Chauvin case and how it led him to write a book titled "Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence".AG Ellison also describes his feelings in the final moments before the guilty verdict and the need for continued efforts toward meaningful change.

As electronic news gathering was gaining prominence in the early 20th century, the American Bar Association began to fear its effect on court trials and adopted something called Canon 35. This condemned the use of photography, motion picture, and radio recording within the confines of the courtroom. It wasn't a law, per se, but a code of ethics that cautioned against recording technology in the trial process. Many state and federal courts followed suit...making way for illustrators. Cameras began to creep their way back into courtrooms over the decades, but courtroom artists are still constantly used in high profile cases.Courtroom Sketch

Peace be with you on this reflective and somber Memorial Day.  Thank you very much for joining us!   We are excited to share this investigative and educational brand-new episode with you!We currently are being downloaded in 100 countries, globally!On this incendiary edition of Light ‘Em Up, ripped straight from the headlines — we examine the New York City Subway choking death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old, unhoused black man who after the tragic death of his mother suffered and struggled extensively with mental illness.Jordan's death on May 1st came on the dirty floor of a northbound F Train at the hands of Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old, white subway rider, from Queens, NY, described as a former decorated U.S. Marine. We ask the question outright, is Daniel Penny a Gotham City “hero” or a “man-slaughtering-menace”?  A GiveSendGo Account has raised close to $3 million for Perry's legal defense fund.Can you think of a worse way to be killed, than by being asphyxiated?  This is precisely what happened to George Floyd at the knee of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.Like a laser-beam we're focused on this case and the breaking news surrounding it!Our learning objectives will examine:♦ The role race played in this case, if any.Many people have considerable doubt and question if the roles were reversed — if a black man choked to death a white man — there would certainly be hell to pay!♦ The fact that Mr. Penny was granted bail ($100K) and released.♦ We review the 5 M.O.D.'s (Manners of Death).♦ We probe if the criminal charge is correct or should this incident merit a more serious charge such as murder?♦ If there was a “duty to intervene” for the riders on the subway car? ♦ How a “reasonable person” is expected to act under the law.♦ An up-close analysis of NY Penal Law §125.15, Manslaughter in the Second Degree.♦ And we reflect on our relationship towards our fellow man — especially those who are most in need and perhaps spiraling downward in the grips of a mental health crisis.  We so often give “lip-service” as to how mental health “matters” — yet we do little to nothing to help those in the most need.Jordan Neely was on the City's “radar” for years before his death on the Subway — yet he continued to slip through the cracks and wasn't able to get lasting and impacting help.This was a preventable tragedy.From coast to coast our country seems to be gripped by fear.  We're reminded of the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression.  He helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.We have exclusive audio from a press conference we attended during pre-production of and in preparation for this episode with The Office of The NY Public Advocate Mr. Jumaane Williams, as we have boots on the ground in the Big Apple.In a time of uncertainty, facts provide calm, reassurance and clarity! The truth must be investigated and defended at all costs!We pride ourselves on asking the tough questions — so that you'll be informed going forward.We want to hear from you!  Share your thoughts with us on this episode and any of our episodes that you've listened to.  Email us at:  prizzo@rpgconsultingltd.comTune in and be empowered and simultaneously follow our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot  here:We are here for you and because of you!Thanks!Executive Producer— Phil Rizzo

Exactly three years ago, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American, was killed by a White police officer, Derek Chauvin. Floyd's death triggered widespread protests across the United States and around the world, with calls to end police violence and systemic racism. Chauvin was eventually sentenced to more than 22 years in prison, while the city of Minneapolis reached a $27 million settlement with Floyd's family. Three years after Floyd's murder, how much has changed in the US? Our correspondent reports.

Keith Ellison - the Attorney General of Minnesota - joins Tavis to share about his journey as a civil rights lawyer, to give his insights into the Chauvin trial, and to talk about his perspective on community-based policing while pushing for a more just society.

Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/three-years-later-george-floyds-family-members-are-still-fighting-for-justiceThe name George Floyd has become a symbol across not only the US, but also the wider world. While George Floyd became known to most of us in death, he also lived a life that was deeply cherished by those closest to him. George's brother, Philonise Floyd, and his sister-in-law, Keeta Floyd, join The Real News for an exclusive interview looking back on George's life three years since his death at the hands of convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Philonise and Keeta, who have since established the Philonise and Keeta Floyd Institute for Social Change, continue to struggle for police accountability and racial justice.

The progressive Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is a man of many firsts. He's the first African American to hold a statewide elected office in Minnesota, and the first Muslim American to hold an elected statewide office in any state. A former Congressman Ellison ran for and won the Attorney General's position in 2018. In 2020, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz asked Ellison to take over as a special prosecutor in the death of George Floyd. Ellison charged Derek Chauvin with murder and won a conviction. It is very unusual for police officers to be held criminally liable for deaths caused by them in the line of duty. Now Ellison has written a about the case and police violence, entitled Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by the American Federation of Teachers .

As a leader, you're responsible for a lot of people.But what does that responsibility really mean?Is it about taking on the problems of your team and staff? Or is it about helping them become the best professionals and individuals they can be? You see something I often see when working with owners and directors is their tendency to take responsibility for issues that don't belong to them.They see a teacher struggling to manage their classroom or come to school on time, and their first reaction is to step in.Why? Because seeing people in discomfort is uncomfortable, and we think that by taking on their pain, we're helping them in the best way possible.But the truth is that when you intervene, you're actually taking away from their human experience and eliminating the opportunity for them to learn and grow.The best thing you can do as a leader is learn to sit with the discomfort of watching others struggle, so you can support them to make their own decisions.How? That's what I'm discussing on this week's podcast episode. Join me as I sit down with author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach Heather Chauvin for an enlightening conversation about emotional discomfort and how changing your perspective on it can help you become a stronger leader.We'll be talking about:What Heather's learned from her journey through motherhood & cancer treatmentCompassion fatigue and how it impacts leadersWhat practices you can use to learn to sit with discomfortHow to help your team & staff learn to manage their own emotionsPractical tips to help you take action toward developing stronger leadershipLearn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic If you'd like to learn more about Heather and her journey, you can check out:Emotionally Uncomfortable Podcast: https://heatherchauvin.com/podcastTEDx talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/heather_chauvin_dying_to_be_a_good_mother/detailsDying to be a Good Mother book: https://heatherchauvin.com/book-orderFree resources from Heather: http://heatherchauvin.com/freegiftsYou can also attend our on-demand Delegate to Elevate Workshop to learn how to set healthier boundaries around your time.

By most standards, Matthew Mistretta was a model police officer. A Marine by training with a soul full of compassion. In August of 2020, Matthew stopped an erratic driver and his passenger. He learned that the driver was potentially involved in a gruesome murder that occurred moments earlier. By himself, Mistretta secured the driver. A bystander caught the moment on cell phone video. Based on the grainy cell phone video and without regard to the totality of the circumstances, Mistretta was charged by the Michigan Attorney General in a seemingly politically-motivated indictment that likened Mistretta's behavior to that of Derek Chauvin. Earlier this month, Mistretta was found NOT GUILTY of all of his charges, which could have landed him in prison for five years. Today, with girlfriend Brooke by his side, Matthew Mistretta breaks his silence. SPONSORED BY: Ghostbed | Use Code: WOLFPACK - Save 40% Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, April 19th, 2023. Let’s just start with on this day in history… On this day in history, April 19th, 1770 British explorer Captain James Cook first sights Australia. Writes in his log book that “what we have as yet seen of this land appears rather low, and not very hilly, the face of the Country green and Woody, but the Sea shore is all a white Sand.” 1775 American Revolution begins in Lexington, Massachusetts. The "Shot Heard Round the World" takes place later that day in Concord Minutemen Capt John Parker orders not to fire unless fired upon In the early hours of April 19, 1775, Capt. John Parker was alerted to mobilize the Lexington Company of the Middlesex County Brigade, Massachusetts Militia, in anticipation of a British 700-man force that was marching to Concord to capture provincial arms. By 2 a.m. Parker had mustered his company on the Lexington Green. The Lexington Company of militia was typical of the period. The youngest militiaman was 18, the oldest 63; eight fathers and sons served together. Most were farmers, while some were veterans of the French and Indian War. Just after sunrise Parker and his 77 militiamen stood in defiance of the British advance guard. "Stand your ground," Parker ordered. "Don't fire unless fired upon. But, if they want to have a war, let it begin here." Maj. John Pitcairn, commander of the British advance guard, ordered the militiamen to lay down their arms. Realizing that his company was outnumbered, Parker ordered his men to disperse. As the militiamen began to break ranks, a British officer fired his pistol. Without orders, the British troops opened fire. Although greatly outnumbered, the militiamen returned the fire. The battle went on for several minutes, all around the Green. When it was over, eight Americans lay dead and nine were wounded. 1775 New England militiamen begin the siege of Boston, hemming in the British army garrison 1775 Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott are captured by British troops riding from Lexington to Concord, Prescott escapes to warn Concord 1782 John Adams secures Dutch Republic's recognition of the United States as an independent government, a house he purchased in The Hague becomes America's first embassy 1874 Barracks on Alcatraz Island destroyed in fire 1909 Joan of Arc receives beatification by the Roman Catholic Church 1910 Halley's comet seen by naked eye 1st time this trip (Curacao) 1926 30th Boston Marathon won by Canadian Johnny Miles in 2:25:40.4 1943 Jews refuse to surrender the Warsaw Ghetto to SS officer Jürgen Stroop, who then orders its destruction, beginning the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1951 General Douglas MacArthur ends his military career And that, was on this day in history… Now let’s get to current news: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/04/17/us-sails-warship-through-taiwan-strait-after-chinas-drills.html US Sails Warship Through Taiwan Strait After China's Drills The United States Navy has sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait in its first known transit since China carried out an encirclement exercise around self-ruled Taiwan. The U.S. 7th Fleet said the transit through the strait by the USS Milius on Sunday was routine. The cruisers “transited through a corridor in the Strait that is beyond the territorial sea of any coastal State,” the statement said. Last week China concluded large-scale air and sea drills in the strait in retaliation for Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on April 5 in California. China said Wednesday that the exercises simulating an encirclement of Taiwan were intended as a “serious warning” to pro-independence politicians on the self-governing island and their foreign supporters. China protested the transit Monday, saying the U.S. transit was a “public hype” and that the Eastern Theater Command was ready at any time to “resolutely safeguard the country's sovereignty, safety, and regional peace and stability," according to a statement from the Eastern Theater Command's spokesperson Shi Yilu. China has stepped up its military pressure over Taiwan in recent years, sending fighter jets and navy vessels towards the island on a near-daily basis. After former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan last August, China sent more and more military vessels over the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that had been accepted for decades. That increasing pressure from China has given greater attention to Taiwan globally. Taiwan's military confirmed a French navy vessel had transited the middle of the Taiwan Strait last week. However, it did not elicit a public protest by the Chinese military. China earlier had sanctioned the organizations involved with Tsai's visit in the U.S., including the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where her meeting with McCarthy and other members of Congress were held. It also sanctioned U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, the Texas Republican who chairs the chamber's Foreign Affairs Committee, for visiting Taiwan. On Sunday, China launched a rocket carrying a satellite that dropped debris into waters north of the capital Taipei. While the satellite launch had no obvious military purpose, it disrupted travel, delaying flights. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/chauvin-murder-appeals-court/2023/04/17/id/1116489/ Chauvin Murder Conviction Upheld in George Floyd Killing The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday upheld former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's second-degree murder conviction in the killing of George Floyd, and let his 22 1/2-year sentence remain in place. Chauvin's attorney had asked the appeals court to throw out the ex-officer's convictions for a long list of reasons, including the massive pretrial publicity. He also argued that legal and procedural errors deprived Chauvin of a fair trial. But the three-judge panel sided with prosecutors who said Chauvin got a fair trial and just sentence. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, used his knee to pin the Black man's neck to the ground for 9 1/2 minutes. A bystander video captured Floyd's fading cries of "I can't breathe." Floyd's death touched off protests around the world, some of which turned violent, and forced a national reckoning with police brutality and racism. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who assembled the prosecution team, said in a statement that he was "grateful we have a system where everyone, no matter how egregious their offense, is entitled to due process and fair treatment." "The Court's decision today shows once again no one is above the law — and no one is beneath it," Ellison said. A voicemail and emails were sent to Chauvin's attorney, William Mohrman. He argued on appeal that the trial judge should have moved the case out of Minneapolis because of extensive pretrial publicity and unprecedented security precautions due to fears of violence. But Neal Katyal, a special attorney for the state, argued that Chauvin got "one of the most transparent and thorough trials in our nation's history." Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill sentenced Chauvin to 22 1/2 years after jurors found him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin later pleaded guilty to a separate federal civil rights charge and was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison, which he is now serving in Arizona concurrent with his state sentence. Local defense attorney Mike Brandt, who has followed the case closely, said he was not surprised that the appeals court affirmed Chauvin's conviction and found no errors that would have changed the outcome. Appellate courts give judges wide discretion and are loath to micromanage how they run trials, he said. He added that Cahill created a solid record to justify the decisions he made in a "high-pressure case where literally the eyes of the world were on him." The appeals court declined to address whether it was legally permissible to convict Chauvin of third-degree murder. The defense said a 2021 Minnesota Supreme Court decision in a different police killing case that clarified the definition of that crime meant the law no longer fit the facts of Floyd's killing. But the appeals court noted that the trial judge never formally adjudicated that conviction nor did he sentence Chauvin on that count. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/18/fox-dominion-settle-us-defamation-lawsuit Fox and Dominion settle for $787.5m in defamation lawsuit over election lies Fox and the voting equipment company Dominion reached a $787.5m settlement in a closely watched defamation lawsuit, ending a dispute over whether the network and its parent company knowingly broadcast false and outlandish allegations that Dominion was involved in a plot to steal the 2020 election. The settlement came before scheduled opening statements and after an unexpected lengthy delay Tuesday afternoon just after the jury was sworn in. Neither party immediately disclosed the terms of the settlement other than the dollar amount, and attorneys for Dominion declined to answer questions about whether it requires Fox to issue a retraction or a formal apology. Opening statements were scheduled to start on Tuesday after a lunch break, but the judge and jurors did not return to the room until close to 4pm. During the more than two-hour delay, attorneys huddled and left the courtroom to convene in adjacent meeting rooms. After returning to the courtroom, Davis thanked the jurors for their service, and called the efforts by the lawyers on both sides “the best lawyering I’ve had, ever” in his career on the bench since 2010. The anticipated six-week jury trial was originally set to begin on Monday, but Davis, the judge overseeing the case, postponed the start of trial by a day as the sides worked to reach a settlement agreement. The trial in Wilmington, Delaware, was set to be a blockbuster media trial. Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old chief executive of Fox, was called to testify in the case, along with top Fox talent including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo. Dominion, a relatively obscure company until the 2020 election, sought $1.6bn in damages in the case. It challenged repeated claims made on Fox’s air after the general election that Dominion switched votes, paid government kickbacks, and was founded in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chávez. In the press conference Tuesday, Dominion CEO John Poulos called the settlement historic because of Fox’s admission that it was telling lies. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2023/04/17/the-climate-fanatics-have-a-new-food-target-n2622039 The Climate Lunatics Have a New Food Target Climate change lunatics who want to ban beef and force everyone to eat bugs have a new target. According to AFP news, climate "scientists" are targeting rice farming as a "dangerous," emissions heavy practice. They say flooded rice fields, which then naturally ferment hay and other plants, produce too much methane. According to National Geographic, rice is a main and key food source for 3.5 billion people. "Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan in about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century," the magazine reports. "Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Rice grows in warm, wet climates. It thrives in waterlogged soil, such as in the flood plains of Asian rivers like the Ganges and the Mekong. "Deepwater rice" is a variety of rice that is adapted to deep flooding, and is grown in eastern Pakistan, Vietnam, and Burma." Meanwhile, Sri Lanka recently adopted a number of climate change policies on reducing fertilizer and caused a major food crisis. "In April 2021, then-president announced an abrupt ban on the import of chemical fertilisers to force the country of 22mn to embrace organic farming. The prohibition lasted only about six months, but analysts said the ill-fated policy not only stoked an economic crisis, it would leave Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector hobbled for years," the Financial Times reports. "Over the past 18 months, the country has become a cautionary tale for global agriculture. Vital inputs such as fuel and fertilisers are in short supply, with prices soaring. Yields from rice and other staples have halved in many areas and the once largely self-sufficient Indian Ocean island now depends on international aid to combat a hunger crisis." There's no doubt a new climate attack on rice will have a catastrophic impact.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, April 19th, 2023. Let’s just start with on this day in history… On this day in history, April 19th, 1770 British explorer Captain James Cook first sights Australia. Writes in his log book that “what we have as yet seen of this land appears rather low, and not very hilly, the face of the Country green and Woody, but the Sea shore is all a white Sand.” 1775 American Revolution begins in Lexington, Massachusetts. The "Shot Heard Round the World" takes place later that day in Concord Minutemen Capt John Parker orders not to fire unless fired upon In the early hours of April 19, 1775, Capt. John Parker was alerted to mobilize the Lexington Company of the Middlesex County Brigade, Massachusetts Militia, in anticipation of a British 700-man force that was marching to Concord to capture provincial arms. By 2 a.m. Parker had mustered his company on the Lexington Green. The Lexington Company of militia was typical of the period. The youngest militiaman was 18, the oldest 63; eight fathers and sons served together. Most were farmers, while some were veterans of the French and Indian War. Just after sunrise Parker and his 77 militiamen stood in defiance of the British advance guard. "Stand your ground," Parker ordered. "Don't fire unless fired upon. But, if they want to have a war, let it begin here." Maj. John Pitcairn, commander of the British advance guard, ordered the militiamen to lay down their arms. Realizing that his company was outnumbered, Parker ordered his men to disperse. As the militiamen began to break ranks, a British officer fired his pistol. Without orders, the British troops opened fire. Although greatly outnumbered, the militiamen returned the fire. The battle went on for several minutes, all around the Green. When it was over, eight Americans lay dead and nine were wounded. 1775 New England militiamen begin the siege of Boston, hemming in the British army garrison 1775 Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott are captured by British troops riding from Lexington to Concord, Prescott escapes to warn Concord 1782 John Adams secures Dutch Republic's recognition of the United States as an independent government, a house he purchased in The Hague becomes America's first embassy 1874 Barracks on Alcatraz Island destroyed in fire 1909 Joan of Arc receives beatification by the Roman Catholic Church 1910 Halley's comet seen by naked eye 1st time this trip (Curacao) 1926 30th Boston Marathon won by Canadian Johnny Miles in 2:25:40.4 1943 Jews refuse to surrender the Warsaw Ghetto to SS officer Jürgen Stroop, who then orders its destruction, beginning the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1951 General Douglas MacArthur ends his military career And that, was on this day in history… Now let’s get to current news: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/04/17/us-sails-warship-through-taiwan-strait-after-chinas-drills.html US Sails Warship Through Taiwan Strait After China's Drills The United States Navy has sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait in its first known transit since China carried out an encirclement exercise around self-ruled Taiwan. The U.S. 7th Fleet said the transit through the strait by the USS Milius on Sunday was routine. The cruisers “transited through a corridor in the Strait that is beyond the territorial sea of any coastal State,” the statement said. Last week China concluded large-scale air and sea drills in the strait in retaliation for Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on April 5 in California. China said Wednesday that the exercises simulating an encirclement of Taiwan were intended as a “serious warning” to pro-independence politicians on the self-governing island and their foreign supporters. China protested the transit Monday, saying the U.S. transit was a “public hype” and that the Eastern Theater Command was ready at any time to “resolutely safeguard the country's sovereignty, safety, and regional peace and stability," according to a statement from the Eastern Theater Command's spokesperson Shi Yilu. China has stepped up its military pressure over Taiwan in recent years, sending fighter jets and navy vessels towards the island on a near-daily basis. After former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan last August, China sent more and more military vessels over the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that had been accepted for decades. That increasing pressure from China has given greater attention to Taiwan globally. Taiwan's military confirmed a French navy vessel had transited the middle of the Taiwan Strait last week. However, it did not elicit a public protest by the Chinese military. China earlier had sanctioned the organizations involved with Tsai's visit in the U.S., including the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where her meeting with McCarthy and other members of Congress were held. It also sanctioned U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, the Texas Republican who chairs the chamber's Foreign Affairs Committee, for visiting Taiwan. On Sunday, China launched a rocket carrying a satellite that dropped debris into waters north of the capital Taipei. While the satellite launch had no obvious military purpose, it disrupted travel, delaying flights. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/chauvin-murder-appeals-court/2023/04/17/id/1116489/ Chauvin Murder Conviction Upheld in George Floyd Killing The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday upheld former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's second-degree murder conviction in the killing of George Floyd, and let his 22 1/2-year sentence remain in place. Chauvin's attorney had asked the appeals court to throw out the ex-officer's convictions for a long list of reasons, including the massive pretrial publicity. He also argued that legal and procedural errors deprived Chauvin of a fair trial. But the three-judge panel sided with prosecutors who said Chauvin got a fair trial and just sentence. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, used his knee to pin the Black man's neck to the ground for 9 1/2 minutes. A bystander video captured Floyd's fading cries of "I can't breathe." Floyd's death touched off protests around the world, some of which turned violent, and forced a national reckoning with police brutality and racism. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who assembled the prosecution team, said in a statement that he was "grateful we have a system where everyone, no matter how egregious their offense, is entitled to due process and fair treatment." "The Court's decision today shows once again no one is above the law — and no one is beneath it," Ellison said. A voicemail and emails were sent to Chauvin's attorney, William Mohrman. He argued on appeal that the trial judge should have moved the case out of Minneapolis because of extensive pretrial publicity and unprecedented security precautions due to fears of violence. But Neal Katyal, a special attorney for the state, argued that Chauvin got "one of the most transparent and thorough trials in our nation's history." Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill sentenced Chauvin to 22 1/2 years after jurors found him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin later pleaded guilty to a separate federal civil rights charge and was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison, which he is now serving in Arizona concurrent with his state sentence. Local defense attorney Mike Brandt, who has followed the case closely, said he was not surprised that the appeals court affirmed Chauvin's conviction and found no errors that would have changed the outcome. Appellate courts give judges wide discretion and are loath to micromanage how they run trials, he said. He added that Cahill created a solid record to justify the decisions he made in a "high-pressure case where literally the eyes of the world were on him."
