Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - In a continuation of his catechetical series on vice and virtue, Pope Francis on Wednesday dedicated his general audience to highlighting the difference between love and lust, arguing that “in Christianity, there is no condemnation of the sexual instinct.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256552/pope-francis-in-christianity-there-is-no-condemnation-of-the-sexual-instinct More than 2.7 million people gathered in the city of Barquisimeto in Lara state, Venezuela, on Sunday, January 14, to accompany the image of the Divine Shepherdess Virgin in a procession, reported state governor Adolfo Pereira. Pereira commented that there was a very positive atmosphere at the gathering, “where peace, calm, and the religiosity of the people reigned.” The devotion traces back to 1703 in Seville, Spain, when a Capuchin friar saw the Virgin Mary dressed as a shepherdess holding a shepherd's crook. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256549/divine-shepherdess-procession-in-venezuela-draws-27-million Finnish prosecutors are asking the country's Supreme Court to hear a “hate speech” case against a member of Parliament and Lutheran bishop for comments made about Christian teachings related to marriage and homosexuality. The charges brought against member of Finnish Parliament Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola for their speech were already dismissed twice — once by a lower district court and again by an appellate court. Yet prosecutors are advancing their case to Finland's highest court in an effort to fine both Christians hundreds of thousands of euros and censor their speech. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256548/exonerated-finnish-politician-and-bishop-to-return-to-court-over-biblical-hate-speech US prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Payton Gendron, the then-18-year-old man who in 2022 killed nearly a dozen Black shoppers at a Tops Friendly Market grocery store in Buffalo, New York. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256544/biden-administration-seeks-the-death-penalty-for-buffalo-supermarket-shooter Today, the Church celebrates Saint Anthony of Egypt, the founder of Christian monasticism whose radical approach to discipleship permanently impacted the Church. In the course of his remarkable and extraordinarily long life, Anthony would live to see the Emperor Constantine's establishment of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman empire. Anthony himself, however, would establish something more lasting – by becoming the spiritual father of the monastic communities that have existed throughout the subsequent history of the Church. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-anthony-of-egypt-119

Tops Friendly Market has now re-opened in East Buffalo, two months after a white supremacist walked into a the supermarket with guns blazing. Motivated by previous racist attacks and the false and insidious“great replacement theory,” the shooter live-streamed his killing spree, during which he took the lives of ten members of Buffalo's Black community. The victims included parents, the elderly, a beloved community activist and the security guard who died shooting back.Tops closed down for months, dealing another blow to the hard-hit community. For years, Tops was the only supermarket in an area that's otherwise a food desert. Its opening in 2003 marked the culmination of a years-long push from community members, after decades of disinvestment.As the community continues to heal and forge a path forward, Into America travels to Buffalo to speak with Buffalo natives Fragrance Harris Stanfield, who was working at Tops the day of the shooting, and Pastor Tim Newkirk, a community activist who was involved in the original push to bring a full-service grocery store to his community.

President Joe Biden welcomed a crowd to the White House lawn Monday to showcase a new law meant to reduce gun violence, celebrating “real progress” after years of inaction. But he also lamented the country remains “awash in weapons of war” — with the 16-day-old law already overshadowed by yet another horrific mass shooting. As Russian missiles struck a key Ukrainian city, Russian President Vladimir Putin expanded a fast-track procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship to all Ukrainians on Monday, another effort to strengthen Moscow's influence over war-torn Ukraine. Lea Michele has been tapped to step in and lead the Broadway revival of the beleaguered “Funny Girl” this fall, an announcement made just hours after current star Beanie Feldstein revealed she was leaving the musical sooner than anticipated due to the show taking a “different direction.” Our view of the universe just expanded: The first image from NASA's new space telescope unveiled Monday is brimming with galaxies and offers the deepest look of the cosmos ever captured. The Biden administration is calling on people to exercise renewed caution about COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of getting booster shots for those who are eligible and wearing masks indoors as two new highly transmissible variants are spreading rapidly across the country. The Ukrainian military on Tuesday reported destroying a Russian ammunition depot in southern Ukraine, resulting in a massive explosion captured on social media, while rescuers said the death toll from a weekend Russian strike in the country's east grew to 41. President Joe Biden on Wednesday opened his first visit to the Mideast since taking office by offering anxious Israeli leaders strong reassurances of his determination to stop Iran's growing nuclear program, saying he'd be willing to use force “as a last resort.” The president's comments came in an interview with Israel's Channel 12 taped before he left Washington and broadcast Wednesday, hours after the country's political leaders welcomed him with a red-carpet arrival ceremony at the Tel Aviv airport. Actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of sexually assaulting three men a decade or more ago, and was told he would face trial next year. Spacey, 62, stood in the dock and spoke clearly as he replied “not guilty” to each of the five charges during a hearing at London's Central Criminal Court, commonly known as the Old Bailey. The Buffalo supermarket where 10 Black people were killed by a white gunman is set to reopen its doors to the public Friday, two months after the racist attack. A moment of silence and prayer will be held Thursday at Tops Friendly Market to honor the victims, employees and community impacted by the May 14 mass shooting, with a ceremonial reopening of the overhauled store before customers return Friday, the company said. President Joe Biden seemed to bow Friday to Sen. Joe Manchin's demand for a slimmed-down economic package, telling Democrats to quickly push the measure through Congress so families could “sleep easier” and enjoy the health care savings it proposes. A lawyer for WNBA star Brittney Griner at her drug possession trial in Russia on Friday gave the court a U.S. doctor's letter recommending she use medical cannabis to treat pain. Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and standout for the Phoenix Mercury, was arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February after customs officials said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of transporting drugs. Thirty women who had accused the Houston Texans of turning a blind eye to allegations that their former star quarterback Deshaun Watson was sexually assaulting and harassing women during massage sessions have settled their legal claims against the team, their attorney said Friday. -Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A previously unknown self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh has been discovered behind another of the artist's paintings, the National Galleries of Scotland said Thursday. The self-portrait was found on the back of Van Gogh's “Head of a Peasant Woman” when experts at the Edinburgh gallery took an X-ray of the canvas ahead of an upcoming exhibition. The work is believed to have been hidden for over a century, covered by layers of glue and cardboard when it was framed in the early 20th century. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday blamed inadequate police protection for the death of former leader Shinzo Abe, who was shot last week while giving an outdoor campaign speech. Abe, one of Japan's most influential politicians, was assassinated last Friday in Nara in western Japan, shocking a nation known for its low crime rate and strict gun control. Photos and videos of the shooting show the gunman was able to approach Abe from behind, while security guards were focused toward the front. Actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of sexually assaulting three men a decade or more ago, and was told he would face trial next year.

A moment of silence and prayer will be held Thursday at Tops Friendly Market to honor the victims, employees and community impacted by the May 14 mass shooting, with a ceremonial reopening of the overhauled store before customers return Friday, the company said. A Texas man, not his 13-year-old son, was driving the pickup truck that crossed into the oncoming lane and struck a van carrying New Mexico college golfers, killing nine people, and he had methamphetamine in his system, investigators said Thursday. Ivana Trump, a skier-turned-businesswoman who formed half of a publicity power couple in the 1980s as the first wife of former President Donald Trump and mother of his oldest children, has died in New York City, her family announced Thursday. She was 73. U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid stood side-by-side Thursday and declared they would not allow Iran to become a nuclear power. They parted ways, though, on how to get there. Biden, in a joint news conference after a one-on-one meeting with the Israeli leader, said he still wants to give diplomacy a chance. Moments earlier, Lapid insisted that words alone won't thwart Tehran's nuclear ambitions. - Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in the United States and around the world. There is no doubt that the frontline against hate on Saturday, May 14th was in Buffalo, New York at the Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue where a white supremacist went on a killing spree. It was a heinous attack against the black community which left 10 people dead and a community in mourning. A few hours later, this show's host flew to Buffalo, first and foremost to show his solidarity - and ADL's - with the black community, but also to be a resource to law enforcement and to others. One of the first people that he met on the site of the attack was Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown. He is Scott's honored guest for this very special “From the Frontlines” show, which originally was a video interview as part of the ADL New York/New Jersey Annual Meeting on June 15, 2022.
Remember, Resolve, React. The host for this show is Mark Shklov. The guest is Hugh M. Russ, III. We discuss the racially motivated mass shooting on May 14, 2022 at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York, Mr. Russ's personal and professional thoughts about the racist massacre, how the local Bar Association and lawyers in New York are dealing with the issues that have arisen from that event, what can be done to counter racism and hate crime, the role of lawyers in this fight, and what actions can be taken so that these deaths shall not be forgotten and not be in vain.

Nearly ten years after the massacre of 26 students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the world has been shocked by another American school shooting—this one at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas where 19 students and two teachers were gunned down on May 24. That came barely a week after the racially motivated massacre of ten shoppers at a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. And these are only the most lethal mass shootings—hundreds more have already occurred in cities across the United States. In this episode, Professor John Donohue, an expert on gun law, joins Rich and Joe to discuss can be done to meet this uniquely American challenge of mass shootings.

In this episode, Professor John Donohue, an expert on gun law, joins Rich and Joe to discuss can be done to meet this uniquely American challenge of mass shootings.
People are flocking to pools, beaches and cooling centers in a swath of the Midwest and South spanning from northern Florida to the Great Lakes, as a heat wave pushed temperatures into the 90s and beyond and may have caused the deaths of at least two people in the Milwaukee area. The National Weather Service maintained an excessive heat warning through Wednesday evening for most of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, which have been dealing with the sticky humidity and soaring temperatures since Tuesday. And the heat advisory in place for the Midwest and South stretched all the way eastward to the South Carolina shoreline, covering an area that is home to roughly a third of the country's population. The Jan. 6 committee is plunging into Donald Trump's last-ditch effort to salvage the 2020 election by pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to reject the electoral count — powers Pence didn't have. Thursday's hearing is expected to focus on how Trump latched onto a strategy from conservative law professor John Eastman to pressure Pence days before the vice president was to preside over the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress to certify Joe Biden's election victory. Testimony is expected from the vice president's counsel, Greg Jacob, and a retired federal judge, Michael Luttig, who called the plan “incorrect at every turn.” Two U.S. veterans from Alabama who were in Ukraine assisting in the war against Russia haven't been heard from in days and are missing. Members of the state's congressional delegation say relatives of 27-year-old Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh of Trinity and 39-year-old Alexander Drueke of Tuscaloosa have been in contact with Capitol Hill offices seeking information about the men's whereabouts. The U.S. State Department says it is looking into reports that Russian or Russian-backed separatist forces in Ukraine had captured at least two American citizens. If confirmed, they would be the first Americans fighting for Ukraine known to have been captured since the war began Feb. 24. After five weeks of declining coronavirus deaths, the number of fatalities reported globally increased by 4% last week, according to the World Health Organization. In its weekly assessment of the pandemic issued on Thursday, the U.N. health agency said there were 8,700 COVID-19 deaths last week, with a 21% jump in the Americas and a 17% increase in the Western Pacific. WHO said coronavirus cases continued to fall, with about 3.2 million new cases reported last week, extending a decline in COVID-19 infections since a peak in January. A fisherman confessed to killing a British journalist and an Indigenous expert in Brazil's remote Amazon and took police to a site where human remains were recovered, a federal investigator said, after a grim 10-day search for the missing pair. Authorities said Wednesday night that they expected to make more arrests soon in the case of freelance reporter Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira of Brazil, who disappeared June 5. A federal police investigator says the fisherman who had been the prime suspect confessed Tuesday night and detailed what happened to Phillips and Pereira. Investigator Eduardo Alexandre Fontes says Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira told officers he used a firearm to kill the pair and then led them deep into the forest to the spot where he buried them. The Avalanche top the Lightning in OT, the Astros clobber the Rangers, the Yankees and Braves win again, the Brewers get a record win for their manager and the Dodgers just miss a no-hitter. The Federal Reserve intensified its drive to tame high inflation by raising its key interest rate by three-quarters of a point — its largest hike in nearly three decades — and signaling more large rate increases to come that would raise the risk of another recession. The move the Fed announced after its latest policy meeting will increase its benchmark short-term rate, which affects many consumer and business loans. The central bank is ramping up its drive to tighten credit and slow growth with inflation having reached a four-decade high of 8.6%, spreading to more areas of the economy and showing no sign of slowing. The gunman who is accused of killing 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket has been charged with federal hate crimes that could potentially carry a death penalty. The filing of the new charges against 18-year-old Payton Gendron on Monday coincided with a visit to Buffalo by Attorney General Merrick Garland. He is due in court on Thursday. Garland met with families and laid flowers at a memorial outside the Tops Friendly Market. Investigators say Gendron's radical, racist worldview and extensive preparation for the May 14 mass shooting are laid out in online documents. Garland said “families and the survivors will be consulted” as the Justice Department weighs whether to seek capital punishment. Gendron's lawyer declined to comment. Officials say a Michigan police officer charged with murder after shooting Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head has been fired. Grand Rapids City Manager Mark Washington said Wednesday that Christopher Schurr waived his right to a hearing and was dismissed, effective last Friday. Schurr was a Grand Rapids officer for seven years. Police Chief Eric Winstrom recommended Schurr's dismissal after a second-degree murder charge was filed Thursday. Lyoya, a Black man, was killed at the end of a traffic stop on April 4. He ran and physically resisted Schurr after failing to produce a driver's license. Schurr, who is white, has claimed Lyoya had control of his Taser when he shot him. Defense lawyers say the officer feared for his safety. The U.S. says it will send an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, as America and its allies work to provide longer-range weapons they say can make a difference in a fight where Ukrainian forces are outnumbered and outgunned by their Russian invaders. President Joe Biden and his top national security leaders say the U.S. is moving as fast as possible to get critical weapons into the fight, even as Ukrainian officials protest that they need more, and faster, in order to survive. The aid will include anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on now. John Hinckley Jr. has been freed from court oversight. The action ends decades of supervision by legal and mental health professionals. Hinckley shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981. The European Central Bank has vowed to come up with a new, unspecified market backstop that could be used to buffer some countries against bond market turmoil similar to what shook the 19-country eurozone during a debt crisis more than a decade ago. The statement came after an unscheduled meeting of the bank's governing council Wednesday. It aims to address a selloff in Italian and Spanish government debt in the wake of the bank's decision to start raising interest rates in July for the first time in 11 years. The Environmental Protection Agency is warning that two nonstick and stain-resistant compounds in drinking water pose health risks at levels so low they cannot currently be detected. Most uses of so-called “forever chemicals” known as PFOA and PFOS have been voluntarily phased out by U.S. manufacturers. Americans trimmed their spending unexpectedly in May compared with the month before, underscoring how surging inflation on daily necessities like gas is causing them to be more cautious about buying discretionary items. U.S. retail sales fell 0.3% last month, down from a revised 0.7% increase in April. A third arrest has been made in a mass shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where three people died and 14 were injured. News outlets cited an affidavit filed with the U.S. District Court for Eastern Tennessee in reporting that 31-year-old Rodney Harris was charged Tuesday in federal court with possession of a firearm by a felon. Ford is recalling over 2.9 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a transmission problem that can increase the risk of inadvertent rollaway crashes. The recall covers certain 2013 to 2019 Escape, 2013 to 2018 C-Max, 2013 to 2016 Fusion, 2013 to 2021 Transit Connect, and 2015 to 2018 Edge vehicles. Automakers reported nearly 400 crashes of vehicles with partially automated driver-assist systems, including 273 involving Teslas, according to new statistics from U.S. safety regulators. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm writing a day early because today is Ascension Day—40 days after Easter and ten days before Pentecost.After his resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days with his disciples, and then “while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.” (Luke 24:51)On Ascension Day 2020—when we were all working from home—a friend quipped that Ascension marks the day that Jesus also started working from home. It was a funny thing to say at the time, but imagine the roller coaster ride for the disciples, from their despair at Jesus' death, to their elation at his resurrection—only to have him leave.If we attend to it, Ascension Day helps us live in that moment. Jesus really did leave. In an important and powerful sense, he is absent.We know that he promised to send another Comforter, the Holy Spirit. We know he is spiritually present in the Eucharist, which we call his Real Presence. We know that the Church is the Body of Christ. We know that when two or three are gathered in his name he is in their midst. And we know that he promised never to leave us or forsake us. We are not alone, and he is manifesting his presence with us through the Holy Spirit, through the Sacraments, through his Word, and through each other.But…he is absent as well. He hasn't yet returned, and though his kingdom has been inaugurated, it has not yet fully come. We live in the tension of now and not yet. And tension is the right word, I think.This feels especially real to me today, and I'm sure to you, on the heels of two mass shootings this month, in Buffalo, NY—ten black people dead and three others injured at Tops Friendly Market at the hands of a radicalized, conspiracy-believing white man; and in Uvalde, TX—at least twenty-one dead including 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School. Both attacks manifestations of what can only be called evil.It's not necessary to enumerate all the other cultural and political and sexual confusion and dysfunction and malevolence we're experiencing in these days, because you already know it and feel it. In fact, everyone knows it and feels it: this is simply not as it ought to be.Jesus knew that we would live in the tension of now and not yet. He knew that we would feel his absence. So, he gives us the gift of peace within that tension. We can bear the tension of the “now” knowing we are not alone even as we wait for the “not yet”. In fact, our task is to be at peace within the world while seeking to bring the transforming love of Jesus Christ to it.The Ascension of Christ is the is a perfect blend of sadness and joy. The sadness is there, and we can't deny it. We want to be with Christ, and we want him to be with us. And the joy is there, too, because he has not left us alone.Christians can live in this tension with peace. Peace, because he is Lord. Peace, because he gave us a Comforter. Peace, because he will return to us. Peace, because he has grafted us in to his Body on earth and we can take his grace and presence wherever we go. We can bring the peace that passes all understanding to a world desperately in need of it.The challenge of Ascension Day is to rest in the tension of the absence of Jesus and at the very same time receive his presence right now. This paradox of faith is often uncomfortable and difficult to describe, but it is real. The disciples understood this in some way, even with all their confusion. After Jesus ascended, they “worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the Temple blessing God.” (Luke 24:52-53) They knew his ascension wasn't an end, but a beginning. It was a call to worship and a call to serve—a call to make his presence known to the ends of the earth.Steve+
Kid's Ministry Coffee Break | 5-Minutes of Spiritual Refreshment for Children's Ministry Leaders
"SUCH A TIME AS THIS" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 35: This break is a special response to the recent shootings in New York and Texas. May this message be a source of comfort and peace for you all. The racially motivated act of hatred in Buffalo was a heartbreaking moment that, unfortunately, we've seen many times in this country. Hatred of this sort does not make sense to us as disciples of Jesus Christ. Following in the way of love leaves an enormous chasm between how we understand the world and what happened. And then…Robb Elementary was attacked. Robb Elementary is no more a tragedy than Tops Friendly Market—both places endured devastating casualties to innocent bystanders, but it feels different when children are the victims of such violence. Some of you have had an entirely different emotional response and reaction to what happened in Buffalo, because you've experience hatred and have seen the kind of damage that bigotry can cause firsthand. Many of you…probably all of you…are connected with youth or children's ministry in some way. You have kids in your life whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling, teacher, volunteer, or adopted family member. The pain we feel from all of this is overwhelming. We are asking lots of “why's” We are either witnessing or participating in the blame-game—having conversation to determine who all played a part in creating the situation. Some of you find it best to talk, vent, cry, cuss, and curse. Some of you can't find any words. Please know…it's all of it okay. It's okay to feel what you feel and do what you feel led to do. Just feel and do you with love, grace, and compassion. If you feel the urge to blame and yell…your pain is 100% to be respected, but keep in mind that nobody wanted this to happen. Everyone is hurt. I keep reading and re-reading Ecclesiastes 3. There's a season for everything and a time for every matter under the heavens. This opening line is followed by a list of opposites that list the basic situations we all face in life. One thing to remember from this list is that they are a mixed bag of positive to negative statements within negative to positive statements. Whatever you are feeling, there's a season for that. Also, there's a season for your friends feelings…your family's feelings…your church's feelings…and your community's feelings. It will take some time for us to catch our breath and collect our thoughts. It will take time to not hurt. As ministers, we are in need…right now in this moment. We are not needed to have answers…because there aren't answers. We are needed to be present with people in the pain and confusion they feel. We are needed to create space for them to feel what they feel without judging them or trying to solve this. Just protect them by letting them feel. Let them talk Let them be silent Let them cry Let them growl Let them blame Let them pray Let them be what they need to be…and give them a listening ear. Most of the time, simply listening and creating space for people is about 95% of what they need. Children and youth will also need you—just like they always have. Giving them time, energy, attention, encouragement, support, love, respect…but they will need space to grieve about what has happened. Most kids haven't been told about exactly what has happened, but they DO know that the adults are different right now. Teachers, parents, and other adults are acting different. They may wonder, “What have I done?” “Did I do something wrong to make people sad?” Kids don't know what they don't know. The kids in your life and ministry will need you to connect with them and ask how they are doing. They will need space to say and feel what they need…just like everyone else. …I'm very conscious that you need this space too. So find someone who can give you that space. Hopefully you already have. Keep that up. If you haven't, reach out to someone you trust and ask them to just listen to yo
The National Rifle Association is beginning its annual convention in Houston. Leaders of the powerful gun rights lobbying group are gearing up to “reflect on” and deflect any blame for this week's deadly shooting of 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Former President Donald Trump and other leading Republicans are scheduled to address the three-day gun industry marketing and advocacy event, which begins Friday and is expected to draw protesters. Some scheduled speakers and performers have backed out, including two Texas lawmakers and “American Pie” singer Don McLean, who says “it would be disrespectful” to go ahead with his act. A bipartisan group of senators is trying to find a compromise on gun legislation. That's after Democrats' attempt at responding to the back-to-back mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, failed Thursday in the Senate. Republicans blocked debate on a domestic terrorism bill that would have opened debate on hate crimes and gun policy. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he will give negotiations about two weeks while Congress is in recess. A week filled with goodbyes continues for family and friends of victims of the racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket. Funeral services are set for Friday for three of those killed: Geraldine Talley, Andre Mackniel and Margus Morrison. They are among the 10 people killed and three wounded May 14 when a white gunman opened fire on shoppers and employees at a Tops Friendly Market. Authorities say at least four people have been killed and others might still be missing after a house explosion in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Pottstown Borough Manager Justin Keller confirmed in a press conference that the explosion occurred Thursday just after 8 p.m. in Pottstown, about 40 miles northwest of Philadelphia. More on fighting in Ukraine, the state of the coronavirus pandemic and stocks. Pandemic-weary U.S. residents are confronting high gas prices as they decide whether to travel this Memorial Day weekend. AAA says the average gas price in the U.S. on Thursday was $4.60 per gallon. In California, it topped $6. But for some, more than two years of pandemic life has them hitting the road or taking to the skies despite a recent surge in cases. AAA estimates that more than 39 million people in the U.S. will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holiday weekend. A record number of almost 90% of those travelers are expected to go by car over the long weekend. The Warriors return to the NBA Finals, Connor McDavid advances to the Stanley Cup Conference Finals, The Hurricanes blow off the Rangers, and the Yankees win their first matchup of the season with the Rays. A Texas law enforcement official says the 18-year-old gunman who slaughtered 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, entered the building “unobstructed” through a door that was apparently unlocked. Victor Escalon, a regional director at the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Thursday that Salvador Ramos did not encounter any law enforcement officers when he entered Robb Elementary School on Tuesday and opened fire, killing 19 children and two teachers. A New York appeals court has ruled former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in the state's civil investigation into his business practices. A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state's trial court on Thursday upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron's Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James' probe. Trump had appealed, seeking to overturn the ruling. His lawyers argued that ordering the Trumps to testify violated their constitutional rights because their answers could be used in a parallel criminal investigation. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the Biden administration is aiming to lead the international bloc opposed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine into a broader coalition to counter what it sees as a more serious, long-term threat to global order from China. In a Washington speech outlining the administration's China policy on Thursday, Blinken laid out a three-pillar approach to competing with Beijing in a race to define the 21st century's economic and military balance. While the U.S. sees Russia as the most acute and immediate threat to international stability, Blinken says the administration believes China poses a greater danger. Carnival Cruise Line says a painting project is to blame for an odor that affected some cruise ship passengers and prompted the U.S. Coast Guard to investigate. Petty Officer Stephen Lehmann says the Coast Guard dispatched a crew to the Carnival Magic ship on Thursday. He says no one was evacuated for medical treatment. In a written statement, Carnival said some passengers were affected by the odor from an outside painting project and were aided by crew members. Carnival says all passengers have now disembarked in Norfolk as planned. The Palestinian Authority says its investigation into the shooting death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh proves that she was deliberately killed by Israeli forces. Israel's defense chief called that “a blatant lie.” Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American reporter for Al Jazeera's Arabic service, was shot in the head on May 11 during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank. Russia is pressing the West to lift sanctions over the war in Ukraine, seeking to shift the blame for a growing food crisis. That crisis is worsened by Kyiv's inability to ship millions of tons of grain and other agricultural products because of the conflict. Britain accused Moscow of trying to hold the world ransom and insisted there would be no sanctions relief. Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil. The war, including a Russian blockade of its ports, has prevented much of that flow. Many of those ports are now heavily mined. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tried to put the blame for the crisis squarely on Western sanctions. British prosecutors have charged actor Kevin Spacey with four counts of sexual assault against three men. The U.K. charges were announced as Spacey was testifying in a courtroom in New York City in a civil lawsuit. Ray Liotta, the actor best known for playing mobster Henry Hill in “Goodfellas” and baseball player Shoeless Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams,” has died. He was 67. An official at the Dominican Republic's National Forensic Science Institute who was not authorized to speak to the media confirmed the death of Ray Liotta and said his body was taken to the Cristo Redentor morgue. Liotta's publicist, Jen Allen, said he was in the Dominican Republic shooting a new movie and didn't wake up Thursday morning. Liotta's most iconic role, as real life mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's “Goodfellas” came in 1990. Eight of the 10 largest cities in the U.S. lost population during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. New estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau show only Phoenix and San Antonio gained new residents from 2020 to 2021. New York led the way, losing more than 305,000 residents, or about 3.5% of its 2020 population. Among the nation's 10 largest cities, it was followed by Chicago and Los Angeles. Smaller big cities primarily in the Sunbelt gained news residents. Those cities include Austin and Fort Worth in Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Charlotte, North Carolina and Columbus, Ohio. Misinformation and conspiracy theories about Tuesday's deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, began to spread online only hours after the carnage. Some social media users falsely speculated that the gunman was an immigrant in the country illegally, even though Gov. Greg Abbott has confirmed he was a U.S. citizen. Others claimed the gunman was transgender and posted photos of innocent people that they claimed were him. Different conspiracy theories claimed the shooting didn't even happen. Similar waves of misinformation have erupted following past school shootings too, as social media users eager for information spread bogus rumors and wild theories. Tuesday's shooting left 19 children and two adults dead. Twitter will pay a $150 million penalty and put in new safeguards to settle federal regulators' allegations that the social platform failed to protect the privacy of users' data over a six-year span. The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission announced the settlement Wednesday with Twitter. The regulators allege that Twitter violated a 2011 FTC order by deceiving users about how well the company maintained and protected the privacy and security of their nonpublic contact information. The government alleged that the violations occurred from May 2013 to September 2019. The U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of the year even though consumers and businesses kept spending at a solid pace, the government reported Thursday in a slight downgrade of its previous estimate for the January-March quarter. Last quarter's 1.5% drop in the U.S. gross domestic product does not likely signal the start of a recession. The contraction was caused, in part, by a wider trade gap and by a slower restocking of goods in stores and warehouses, which had built up their inventories in the previous quarter for the 2021 holiday shopping season. Analysts say the economy has likely resumed growing in the current April-June quarter. Fewer Americans applied for jobless aid last week as the number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits remains near five-decade lows. Applications for unemployment benefits fell by 8,000 to 210,000 for the week ending May 21, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications are generally representative of the number of layoffs. American workers are enjoying historically strong job security two years after the coronavirus pandemic plunged the economy into a short but devastating recession. Weekly applications for unemployment aid have been consistently below the pre-pandemic level of 225,000 for most of 2022. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Serge Antonin and Clarke Ahlers discuss the May 14, 2022 mass shooting at the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York. Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old white male, has been indicted for killing ten and wounding three. 11 of the victims were black. Serge and Clarke discuss the known facts of the tragic incident, consider the response of the President, and then discuss a plan to understand why mass shootings are quickly become the new normal in the United States.
"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in the United States and around the world. Shortly after the mass shooting incident was made known, Scott Richman flew to Buffalo, NY where he remained for three days. This podcast is a brief and personal reflection on those three days where the frontline in the battle against extremism was centered around the Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue, the site of the mass shooting on May 14, 2022. ADL has compiled many important resources in connection with this incident, including educational resources, blog posts, statements, and ways to take action.

Gun violence erupted in multiple cities across the nation last weekend, but it was a mass shooting believed to be racially motivated in Buffalo, New York, that led many news reports this week. 18-year-old Payton Gendron is accused of killing 10 people Saturday at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo. Wearing a helmet camera, the gunman livestreamed the shooting on Twitch. President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo's grieving families on Tuesday and asked the nation to reject what he angrily labeled as the poison of white supremacy. On Thursday, Gendron appeared briefly in court after a grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge. Even as prices continued to rise with inflation at a 40-year high, the Commerce Department said retail sales managed to rise 0.9% in April. However, by the middle of the week stocks continued to tumble and recession fears grew. Additionally, supply chain and production issues continued to wreak havoc for new parents desperate to find baby formula. President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to speed production of infant formula and has authorized flights to import supply from overseas. This came after regulators and Abbott Nutrition reached an agreement to reopen a plant in Michigan that had been closed since February due to contamination issues. There is hope production will resume in the next week. Multiple primaries were held Tuesday, with Pennsylvania, a key presidential battleground state, making headlines. The Pennsylvania primary for the open U.S. Senate seat was likely heading to a recount on the Republican side with heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick in a tight race. Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman won the Democratic nomination as he recovered from a stroke he suffered just days earlier. In Pennsylvania's GOP race for governor, far-right candidate Doug Mastriano, who had the backing of former President Donald Trump, will face Democrat Josh Shapiro, the state's attorney general, in the November general election. In North Carolina, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, the youngest member of Congress, was ousted by state Sen. Chuck Edwards. U.S. Rep. Ted Budd and former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley have won their respective Senate primaries. Budd led the 14-candidate Republican field while Beasley was the front-runner out of 11 for the Democratic nomination. They will face each other to replace the retiring Sen. Richard Burr. Former Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek has won the Democratic gubernatorial primary governor, beating state Treasurer Tobias Read in a victory for the party's progressive wing. In other political news, printing errors marred the primaries and we have an update on the Jan. 6 committee. Highway deaths are on the rise and the Biden administration is hoping federal aid can help combat the crisis. His administration pledged $5 billion ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration releasing data that revealed that nearly 43,000 people were killed on U.S. roads last year. There was some mixed news reported regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of coronavirus deaths globally dropped by about 21% in the past week. However, many cases rose in most parts of the world, according to the World Health Organization. Increased infections and hospitalizations are putting more of the country under guidelines issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that call for masking and other precautions. In related news, the death toll in the United States hit 1 million, the CDC has approved a booster for kids, some newer hospitals are struggling financially and conspiracy theories and misinformation tied to avian flue are spreading. In international news, the Russian invasion of Ukraine continued. The last defenders under siege at a steel plant in Mariupol surrendered and were classified as prisoners of war by the Red Cross. Both Finland and Sweden submitted applications to join NATO. In other news, McDonald's announced it was in the process of selling its Russian restaurants and Ukraine held a war crimes trial. More on those two stories from the AP. In response to another conflict, President Joe Biden signed an order to redeploy hundreds of U.S. troops to Somalia to counter an Islamic extremist rebel group. In other news on the world stage, Queen Elizabeth II made a rare public appearance and mountain climbers scaled Everest. More on those stories. This past week a country music legend was remembered, an Oscar-winning composer died, Ukraine was a central theme in the Eurovision song contest and Ringling Brothers is back, but with a twist. And changes were made for eligibility for the Academy Awards. Finally, summer is near and you may soon find yourself at a beach. But a warning has been issued: Don't dig holes in the sand! — Compiled and narrated by Terry Lipshetz from Associated Press reports See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Joe Biden hopes to use his visit to Asia to confirm his belief that long-standing friendships can afford to become even friendlier — and pay dividends. He opens the trip in South Korea on Friday and ends in Japan next week at a time when world events are resetting the foundations of the global order. Among the issues on the table for Biden are seeking ways to show tighter relationships, rethinking national security aims, launching a new trade framework and improving the availability of computer chips after a debilitating shortage. Ukrainian authorities say their troops repelled a Russian attack in the east, as Moscow struggled to gain ground in the region that is now the focus of the war even as it intensified its campaign there. Battered by their monthslong siege of the vital port city of Mariupol, Russian troops need time to regroup. But Britain's Defense Ministry said in an assessment they may not get it. The city and the steelworks where Ukrainian fighters have held off the Russian assault for weeks have become a symbol of Ukraine's stoic resistance. With the battle for the steel plant winding down, Russia has already started deploying troops away from the site. But the British assessment Friday indicated Russian commanders are under pressure to quickly send them elsewhere. Authorities say two people are dead and another eight wounded following a shooting in Chicago. The shooting happened about 10:40 p.m. Thursday near a McDonald's restaurant on the city's Near North Side. A church service was held Thursday night to remember the victims of the 10 killed in Buffalo. In sports, the Celtics blow out the Heat to even their series, The Lightning strikes late to go up 2-0 on the Panthers, a roaring start for Rory at the PGA, and walkoff homers for the Mets and Orioles. Oklahoma's Legislature has given final approval to another Texas-style anti-abortion bill. Abortion providers say once the bill is signed, it would be the most restrictive abortion ban in effect in the country. Its passage is part of an aggressive push in Republican-led states across the country to scale back abortion rights. The bill would prohibit all abortions, except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement. It now heads to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it. A $40 billion infusion of military and economic aid for Ukraine and its allies has cleared the Senate and will head to President Joe Biden for his signature. All Democrats and most Republicans rallied behind the latest, and possibly not last, U.S. financial salvo against Russia's invasion. Approval comes three weeks after Biden requested a smaller $33 billion version. Though the margins in both chambers were overwhelming, many of the “no” votes in the House and Senate came from supporters of former President Donald Trump's isolationist agenda. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said before Thursday's vote that it was “beyond troubling” that some Republicans were adopting Trump's “soft-on-Putin playbook.” Meanwhile, Biden hosted leaders of Sweden and Finland at the White House for a meeting as the two nations seek to join NATO in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The white man accused of killing 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket appeared briefly in court Thursday after a grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge. Assistant district attorney Gary Hackbush said the indictment of 18-year-old Payton Gendron was handed up Wednesday. He was silent throughout the proceeding and sent back to jail. Someone shouted “Payton you're a coward!” as he was led out. Ten people were killed and three others wounded in the Saturday shooting at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo. Authorities are continuing to investigate the possibility of hate crime and terrorism charges. Testimony continued as Johnny Depp is suing Amber Heard for libel in Fairfax, Virginia, over a 2018 op-ed she wrote describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” More Americans applied for jobless aid last week, but the total number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits is at a 53-year low. Applications for unemployment benefits rose by 21,000 to 218,000 for the week ending May 14, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Former President George W. Bush is facing criticism after mistakenly describing the invasion of Iraq — which he led as commander in chief — as “brutal” and “wholly unjustified.” Bush then corrected himself to say he meant to refer to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The 75-year-old former president made the comment during a speech Wednesday night in Dallas, and jokingly blamed the mistake on his age. U.S. health advisers are urging a booster dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quickly signed off on the advice. The decision opens a third COVID-19 shot to healthy elementary-age kids, just like what is already recommended for everybody 12 and older. Regulators this week authorized the extra dose to be given at least five months after youngsters' last shot. CDC's advisers endorsed it during a public meeting on Thursday. The Greek electronic composer who wrote the unforgettable Academy Award-winning score for “Chariots of Fire” and music for dozens of other movies, documentaries and TV series, has died. The composer known as Vangelis was 79. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and other officials expressed their condolences Thursday. Greek media reported that Vangelis died in a French hospital late Tuesday. Vangelis started playing the piano at age 4, although he claimed he never learned to read notes. His big breakthrough came with the score for “Chariots of Fire,” a 1981 film that told the story of two British runners in the 1924 Olympics. Vangelis' score received one of the four Academy Awards the film won, including best picture. The Food and Drug Administration's commissioner says a shuttered baby formula factory could be up and running by next week. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf faced congressional anger Thursday for not answering questions about whether his agency should have intervened earlier at the Michigan plant tied to a national formula shortage. Members of a House subcommittee questioned Califf about why the FDA didn't step in when there were signs of problems at Abbott Nutrition's plant last fall before it was closed. The shortage has rattled parents and become a political headwind for President Joe Biden, who's invoked the Defense Production Act to ease supply. Califf asked lawmakers for new food safety funding. The Oscars are getting back to normal, eligibility-wise. After two years of tweaking rules because of the pandemic, including allowing films to debut on a streaming service, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Wednesday that Oscar hopefuls will once again have to launch in movie theaters. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buffalo Poet Laureate Jillian Hanesworth, a regular at the Jefferson Ave. Tops Friendly Market, talks about loss so deep and sudden that she can't even properly grieve it: "So many people... gone".
They were caregivers and protectors and helpers, running an errand or doing a favor or finishing out a shift, when their paths crossed with a young man driven by racism and hatred and inane theories. In a flash, the ordinariness of their day was broken at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, where in and around the supermarket's aisles, a symbol of the mundane was transformed to a scene of mass murder.

What A Week (5/17)Intro: (Cue intro music) Hey everyone, welcome back to What a week! I'm your host, Olivia Lee, here to deliver your weekly dose of the news. Let's get started!In Local News: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2022/05/more-than-20-old-town-encampments-home-to-dozens-of-people-swept-in-past-few-days.htmlLast week, an order by Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was subsequently cleared, allowing for the removal of at least 21 homeless encampments in Old Town, ranging in size from one to four city blocks, said Cody Bowman, a spokesman in Wheeler's office. An estimated 165 tents or structures were removed, according to the city office that cleans and removes camps. Typically one to three people live in each temporary home. It is unprecedented for the city to sweep so many camps in one area within three days. Bowman said in a report quote “The (Old Town Community Association) has rightly asked for an intervention to address the high rate of murder and other crimes in Old Town. They have rightly pointed out that a high number of victims murdered or injured in Old Town have been Portlanders experiencing homelessness.” At least five people experiencing homelessness have died from homicide in Portland this year. In-state news: https://apnews.com/article/covid-health-crime-lawsuits-portland-2f52f54495baf53da222f55c48eba3ed This past Monday, criminal defendants in Oregon who have gone without legal representation for long periods of time amid a critical shortage of public defense attorneys filed a lawsuit that alleges the state violated their constitutional right to legal counsel and a speedy trial. The complaint, which seeks class-action status, was filed as state lawmakers and the Oregon Office of Public Defense Services struggle to address the huge shortage of public defenders statewide. The crisis has led to the dismissal of dozens of cases and left an estimated 500 defendants statewide — including several dozen in custody on serious felonies — without legal representation. Crime victims are also impacted because cases are taking longer to reach resolution, a delay that experts say extends their trauma, weakens evidence and erodes confidence in the justice system, especially among low-income and minority groups. The lawsuit specifically names Gov. Kate Brown and Stephen Singer, the recently appointed executive director of the state's public defense agency, and asks for a court injunction ordering criminal defendants to be released if they can't be provided with an attorney in a reasonable period of time. Oregon's system to provide attorneys for criminal defendants who can't afford them was underfunded and understaffed before COVID-19, but a significant slowdown in court activity during the pandemic pushed it to a breaking point. A report by the American Bar Association released in January found Oregon has 31% of the public defenders it needs. Every existing attorney would have to work more than 26 hours a day during the work week to cover the caseload, the authors said. In National News: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/making-sense-of-the-racist-mass-shooting-in-buffalo https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amberjamieson/buffalo-tops-supermarket-mass-shooting Last Saturday, 10 people were killed and 3 were wounded in a mass shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on according to law enforcement officials who spoke to the Associated Press. The US attorney's office announced that the FBI was investigating the shooting as a hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism. The shooting took place at Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue in the neighborhood of Masten Park, a predominantly Black neighborhood. Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia described the shooter as an 18-year-old white man, and told reporters that he was wearing tactical gear and using a camera to livestream the attack. The suspect, who is eighteen, used a weapon painted with a white-supremacist slogan and live-streamed his attack. Prior to the shooting, he also allegedly posted a manifesto, which relies heavily on the so-called great replacement theory, a racist conspiracy that has become increasingly mainstream in a number of Western countries, from France to the United States. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-deaths-1-million-biden/ Last Thursday, President Biden commemorated the 1 million American lives lost to COVID-19 in his remarks opening the second Global COVID Summit, a virtual gathering of world leaders, nongovernmental organizations and private sector companies hosted by the the White House. In recognition of the disease's high toll, Mr. Biden also issued a proclamation ordering flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset on May 16. The president also urged Congress to approve more funding for his administration's COVID-19 efforts, saying the world is quote "at a new stage in fighting this pandemic, facing an evolving set of challenges." COVID-19 ranks behind only heart disease and cancer as America's leading causes of death over the past two years, claiming vastly more lives than other infectious diseases. By comparison, the flu season of 2017-18, one of the deadliest in recent decades, claimed an estimated 52,000 lives. In International News: https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2022/05/13/elon-musk-twitter-deal-temporarily-hold/9765540002/ https://nypost.com/2022/05/13/elon-musk-says-twitter-deal-temporarily-on-hold/ Elon Musk said this past Friday that his planned $44 billion purchase of Twitter is quote “temporarily on hold” pending details on spam and fake accounts on the social media platform. In a tweet, the Tesla billionaire linked to a Reuters story from May 2nd citing a financial filing from Twitter that estimated false or spam accounts made up fewer than 5% of the company's "monetizable daily active users" in the first quarter. Musk tweeted the following quote, "Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users," end quote. Musk's tweet caused Twitter stocks to dip more than 25% to as low as $33.79 in pre-market trading early this past friday and caused a load of uncertainity into the weekend. Lastly here is the wildcard news for the week: https://www.npr.org/2022/05/16/1099079032/mcdonalds-leaving-russia Last week, the fast food company McDonalds announced that it will be exiting Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, pulling out of a market it's been a part of for 32 years. The fast-food giant had previously paused its operations in Russia less than two weeks into the brutal conflict began between Russia and Ukraine. It is reported that McDonald's wants to sell its entire operation of restaurants in the country to a Russian buyer. To prepare for that sale, it will start "de-arching" its restaurants by stripping them of its trademark signs, menus and branding. Closing: Well that wraps up What a Week! Stay safe and see you guys next week.
Over the weekend, Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, NY, was the latest scene of a shooting and at least 10 people are dead. When will we address the mental issue that we are facing? What is the solution to stopping this crime? BlazeTV contributor Eric July joins the podcast to discuss the latest wokeism by DC and Marvel Comics. June is fast approaching, and Marvel and DC are ready for PRIDE 2022. Marvel will release a new transgender mutant and a genetically engineered turtle. Why does EVERY company need to be “woke”? Vice President Kamala Harris once again had the most weird speech about “climate” and “working together.” The shortage of baby formula continues, and thanks to Rep. Kay Cammack, we found out that the southern border has pallets and pallets of baby formula while American babies are suffering. Why is it that this administration doesn't care about Americans?

On May 14, ten people lost their lives during a mass shooting at a Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, New York. The suspect is an 18yo man, who is a self-admitted fascist, anti-Semite and racist. He left behind a 180-page manifesto of his beliefs and inspiration, and discussed Replacement Theory at length, much like his idol, Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch, NZ mass shooter who killed 51 Muslims during their Friday prayers. Let's break it all down. --------------------------------------------- We Saw the Devil: Donate to the victims of the Buffalo Mass Shooting: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/buffalo-mass-shooting-fundraisersWebsite: http://www.wesawthedevil.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevil Discord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevil Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast--------------------------------------------- We would like to thank our Executive Producers: Angelle BBrittany HWannabe SleuthBren W Emalie SYlana Dawn MFaye SChristy KAshley MShawna Cristi RIris DS
10 people are dead and a suspect is in custody after a gunman with a rifle and body armour opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York on May 14th, believed to be one of the deadliest racist massacres in recent American history, and the deadliest mass shooting in the US in 2022. The shooting took place at Tops Friendly Market in the 1200 block of Jefferson Avenue in the state's second-largest city, in a predominantly Black neighbourhood that authorities believe the suspect had specifically targeted. 13 people in total were shot. Among the victims, 11 were Black. "This was pure evil," Erie County sheriff John Garcia said in a press conference on Saturday. "It was straight up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community." 18 year old Payton Gendron of Broome County, New York, roughly 200 miles away from the shooting, was arraigned and charged with murder in the first degree on Saturday. He pleaded not guilty. He is on "suicide watch" and has been separated from other inmates while jailed, according to law enforcement. The shooter livestreamed the massacre and allegedly posted an online "manifesto that references racist and white nationalist tropes and far-right conspiracy theories. In remarks on Sunday afternoon, President Joe Biden called on Americans to “work together to address the hate that remains a stain on the soul of America.” He is expected to visit Buffalo on 17 May to “grieve” with the community. I also discuss the media hypocrisy surrounding this mass shooting and the April 12th NYC subway shooting by Frank James who is a 62 year old black man. These were both shootings that were done by racist individuals. So, why can't the media label them both that? Why only the recent one?

He is facing a federal hate-crime investigation as well. On Sunday, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said that the gunman had been in Buffalo — which is a three-hour, 200-mile drive from where he lives in Conklin, New York — for at least a day prior to the shooting. “It seems that he had come here to scope out the area, to do a little reconnaissance work … before he carried out his just evil, sickening act,” he told ABC News. The AP reports that “investigators believe Gendron had specifically researched the demographics of the population around the Tops Friendly Market and had been searching for communities with a high number of African American residents.” Check me out on This is a link to my fb group https://www.facebook.com/groups/10902... https://www.spreaker.com/episode/4972...

Active shooter in Buffalo shoots 13 #PaytonGendron #Buffalo #HateCrime #Tops #ConklinNY #Manifesto A teenage gunman entranced by a white supremacist ideology known as replacement theory opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo on Saturday, methodically shooting and killing 10 people and injuring three more, almost all of them Black, in one of the deadliest racist massacres in recent American history. The authorities identified the gunman as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron of Conklin, a small town in New York's rural Southern Tier. Mr. Gendron drove more than 200 miles to mount his attack, which he also livestreamed, the police said, a chilling video feed that appeared designed to promote his sinister agenda. Shortly after Mr. Gendron was captured, a manifesto believed to have been posted online by the gunman emerged, riddled with racist, anti-immigrant views that claimed white Americans were at risk of being replaced by people of color. In the video that appeared to have been captured by the camera affixed to his helmet, an anti-Black racial slur can be seen on the barrel of his weapon. The attack, at a Tops Friendly Market in a largely Black neighborhood in east Buffalo, conjured grim comparisons to a series of other massacres motivated by racism, including the killing of nine Black parishioners at a church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015; an antisemitic rampage in a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 that left 11 people dead; and an attack at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019, where the man charged had expressed hatred of Latinos. More than 20 people died there. In the Buffalo grocery store, where four employees were shot, the savagery and planning were evident: Mr. Gendron was armed with an assault weapon and wore body armor, the police said. And his preferred victims seemed clear as well: All told, 11 of the people shot were Black and two were white, the authorities said. “It was a straight up racially motivated hate crime,” John Garcia, the Erie County sheriff, said. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/otcpod1/support
'n 18-jarige wit man het by 'n supermark in 'n swart woonbuurt in die Amerikaanse stad Buffalo losgebrand en tien mense vermoor in wat owerhede as 'n daad van "rasgemotiveerde gewelddadige ekstremisme" beskryf het. Drie ander is Saterdag in die aanval by die Tops Friendly Market beseer. Payton Gendron het volgens bewering vanaf Conklin, 320 kilometer na die meerderheid swart buurt van Buffalo gereis om die aanval uit te voer. Hy het die skietery op die sosiale media platform Twitch, regstreeks uitgesaai. Die goewerneur van New York, Kathy Hochul, sê sosiale media maatskappye moet aanspreeklikheid begin aanvaar.
Here's the Ithaca Minute from 14850 Today for May 1st. The Tops Friendly Market on Meadow Street in Ithaca's southwest will close at the end of May, the company has confirmed to 14850 Today. “Tops has decided not to renew its lease,” but this decision won't affect any other stores, the company says. “The decision was not made lightly and is in no way a reflection of the performance or dedication of our associates at this location,” says Kathy Sautter, public and media relations manager for Tops. “There are no additional plans for store closures.” “All of the impacted associates will be offered positions in other areas of the company,” Sautter tells us. The Citizens Bank branch currently in the Ithaca Tops will move to the Lansing location, she tells us.
