MSNBC’s Joy Reid spread some fake news on the Tuesday edition of The ReidOut when she claimed that Georgia is preventing people from voting early in the state’s Senate runoff because state law requires that Robert E.

Kamil Bachouchi, a 21-year-old philosophy student at Wilfrid Laurier University, showed up to class on Nov. 15 wearing a “mask”—or rather, a hollowed-out grapefruit.
It covered his nose and mouth, complying with the mandatory mask policy put in place for the fall university term. This is just the latest way Bachouchi, who plans to go to law school, is peacefully protesting an educational environment in which, he says, students “aren’t allowed to think or debate,” but are forced into “compliance.”
Yowza. At one time, Team Trump pushed the idea that Ivanka Trump could become the next generation of a political dynasty. She served a critical role in her father’s term as both a key advisor and to some extent a calm and moderating PR presence in a chaotic White House.
Love Trump but I never cared much for his daughter and son-in-law serving in the White House. That said Ivanka’s adios may be a sign that Trump should not pursue the 2024 nomination.

My routine.
He stares like a feline Boo Radley, unrelenting, simultaneously menacing and pitiful. He will not stop until you toss the damn toys. If you don’t he’ll topple the bucket.
Xavier and I are slowly adapting to one another. He was as I now understand more feral than domestic.
Overall his behavior has improved however much damage was done to my arms and several items of furniture in the process.
I did purchase Feliway cat pheromone which I spray on the areas he uses as illicit scratching posts and it does calm him and prevent him from scratching. Interestingly he is not seeking out alternate illicit scratching posts instead relying on the dedicated ones I have provided. I do recommend Feliway.
We are working on his play style, when he roughhouses he tends to bite & scratch until he draws blood. 0 to 60 in seconds but slowly he’s learning to let up.
That said he is a loving little guy, a few issues yes but we’re working on it.
We may struggle at times but we are learning to struggle together.

Oakville high school at centre of teacher attire controversy receives bomb threat
A high school in Oakville, Ont., that has been at the centre of controversy surrounding a teacher’s attire is closed Wednesday after receiving a bomb threat.
It’s another potential black eye for the men and women in blue.
Another high-ranking Toronto Police officer is before the disciplinary tribunal on misconduct charges — and these latest allegations are an especially bad look: Insp. Joyce Schertzer is accused of interfering in an investigation into her nephew’s car crash and letting him leave the scene before any possible impairment investigation could take place.
… The well-respected officer has known all too well how allegations can torpedo a career — she was married to John Schertzer, the former head of a Toronto Police drug squad who was convicted of attempted obstruction of justice in 2013.
