On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) called for a ban on TikTok and argued that one reason the app should be banned is that the application exposes minors to “stuff that they would never let Chinese teenagers see,” in addition to the privacy risks and the country’s ability to be used by the Chinese Communist Party to influence Americans. Cotton said TikTok “shouldn’t be present in the United States, Laura. There [are] a lot of things that you just pointed out there that are bad about TikTok, the way they expose minors to violent, depraved, degrading sexual material or young girls to videos about body image issues, stuff that they would never let Chinese teenagers see, or the risk to your data security and your privacy. But if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, why in the world would we allow a Chinese-owned company, which has to answer to the Chinese Communists, to be one of the largest media platforms in our … [Read more...] about Cotton: TikTok Exposes American Kids to ‘Stuff That They Would Never Let Chinese Teenagers See’

WASHINGTON — When the Senate passed landmark legislation last month to mandate federal recognition for same-sex marriages, the vote was lauded as a rare moment of bipartisanship at a time of deep political polarization in the country. But the narrow coalition of 12 Republicans that joined every Democrat in support of the measure — which is poised to pass the House on Thursday and be signed by President Biden shortly thereafter — did not spring up spontaneously in a groundswell of cross-party harmony. Behind the scenes, a group of influential Republican donors and operatives, including some of the party’s most prominent gay leaders with long experience prodding their party to embrace L.G.B.T.Q. rights, banded together with the bill’s proponents in Congress for a coordinated, $1.7 million campaign to persuade G.O.P. senators that backing it would give them a political edge. Their quiet work helps explain how a bill to ensure recognition of same-sex marriages across the country went … [Read more...] about Prominent Gay Republicans Helped Smooth the Way for Marriage Bill

It is rare to come across hundreds of acres of land for sale in New Jersey, the country’s most densely populated state. But in Monmouth County, about 50 miles south of New York City, two expansive sites have sat largely undeveloped for years. The catch? Both are former military forts and, as such, come with a litany of hurdles that prospective buyers do not usually encounter with redevelopment projects. After years of setbacks, Fort Monmouth, which is spread across three New Jersey boroughs — Oceanport, Eatontown and Tinton Falls — is inching toward a deal with Netflix to build a production studio on 290 acres. Fifteen miles away at Fort Hancock in Middletown, local officials are struggling to breathe a second life into a deteriorating harbor defense site, despite a commitment from a New York real estate developer to revamp most of the aging officers’ quarters into residences . “I can imagine the project taking off, but I can also imagine the buildings reaching a point of no … [Read more...] about A Long Road to Renewal for Former Military Bases

At the start of the new BBC series, Claudia Winkleman gathered the contestants outside the castle and asked them to rank themselves on who was most likely to win the show and who was most likely to lose. Amos, 30, a doctor from north London, and Kieran, 42, a solutions consultant from Hertfordshire, said they were most likely to lose and what seemed like a friendly task suddenly took a huge turn, leaving everyone in shock. Claudia had some big news for the contestants ( Image: BBC) "Every decision you make has a consequence. Every single one. So, you two, you think you’re going to lose," Claudia told them, "I’m going to take you at your word. So, I’m afraid it’s goodbye. I’d like you to leave the grounds immediately."
