Anne Applebaum, a staff writer for The Atlantic, claimed on Sunday that businesses in major cities across the U.S. are boarding up their windows ahead of election days because of President Donald Trump. Applebaum fired off her take on Twitter and garnered more than 32,000 likes and nearly 10,000 retweets on the post within 24 hours. “When conservatives celebrated Trump’s election 4 years ago, did they know that in 2020 we would board up shops, prepare for riots and the arrival of militias, game out ways he might steal the election, protest aggressive vote suppression? This is what he has done to America,” Applebaum said. “Plus gum up the US postal service, incite supporters to violence …” When conservatives celebrated Trump's election 4 years ago, did they know that in 2020 we would board up shops, prepare for riots and the arrival of militias, game out ways he might steal the election, protest aggressive vote suppression?

How Tottenham could line up next season after Richarlison joins for £60m with Spence and Bremer linked with transfer
TOTTENHAM started the summer transfer window on fire, bringing in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on free deals before signing Yves Bissouma from Brighton and most recently Richarlison from Everton. However, Antonio Conte will be hoping to see a whole lot more strengthening before the window closes and he is known to want his top targets in before Spurs jet off for their pre-season tour of South Korea on July 9. Having already improved between the sticks, at left-wing-back, and in the engine room, Conte is thought to be looking for a new right wing-back, a left-centre-back and a central defender. Tottenham had Alessandro Bastoni and Josko Gvardiol down as their top two targets for the left-centre-back role this summer, although both now look impossible to complete. Clement Lenglet has been mentioned as a back-up Spurs may visit late in the window, while Pau Torres, Evan Ndicka, and Piero Hincapie are more prominent targets. Djed Spence appears to be the … [Read more...] about How Tottenham could line up next season after Richarlison joins for £60m with Spence and Bremer linked with transfer

Creator Of 1619 Project: ‘Honor’ If Riots Called ‘1619 Riots’; Deletes Post On Native Americans Owning Slaves | The Daily Wire
Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of The New York Times’ much-scrutinized “1619 Project” who describes herself as “The Beyoncé of Journalism” and “ smart and thuggish,” caused a stir online over the weekend over a series of controversial tweets, including one she ultimately chose to delete about Native Americans, and another declaring it would be an “honor” if the riots that swept the nation and left historical monuments toppled were named the “1619 Riots.” “The [1619 Project] published online today and it is my profound hope that we will reframe for our readers the way we understand our nation, the legacy of slavery, and most importantly, the unparalleled role black people have played in this democracy,” Hannah-Jones’ penned tweet posted on August 14, 2019 reads. Seven months later, the “1619 Project,” which has been promoted massively by The New York Times and which may be incorporated into some educational programs, was forced to issue a significant correction to one … [Read more...] about Creator Of 1619 Project: ‘Honor’ If Riots Called ‘1619 Riots’; Deletes Post On Native Americans Owning Slaves | The Daily Wire

How Tottenham could line up next season after sealing Richarlison transfer including Perisic, Spence and Lenglet
RICHARLISON'S arrival at Tottenham is set to give Antonio Conte one mighty selection headache. The Italian manager is primed to have Harry Kane , Son Heung-min , Dejan Kulusevski AND Richarlison at his disposal in a frightening forward line. But how Conte will fit them all into his Tottenham team, especially in his wing-back system, remains a mystery. What is more likely is the added fixtures that come from qualifying for the Champions League mean the frightening quartet will be rotated to maintain fresh legs. Despite Spurs shelling out £60million on Richarlison , the 25-year-old will not start over talisman Kane up front. Instead the Brazilian could be deployed off the right-hand side, with Golden Boot winner Son on the left.
