Michael Moore defended Ryan Lochte after the swimmer lost of all his major endorsement deals — including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren — because he “exaggerated” a story about being robbed at gunpoint during the Summer Olympics in Rio. (Photo: Scott Legato/Getty Images for I Am Not Your Guru) In a lengthy, sarcastic post on Facebook Tuesday , Moore said Lochte is being criticized because people envy him. “Oh how righteous we all are!” Moore wrote. “We who have never peed outdoors! No! Not one of us have ever done that! We who have never been inebriated! No! None of us have ever been inebriated! We who have never won 12 Olympic medals! No!” “We haven’t — and that’s why we must take him down, we who have never envied the talented or wished our lives weren’t so mediocre or boring or unfulfilling! No! Not us! It’s him! Him! He’s the criminal!” A lot aren't going to like this. I'm sorry.

Breitbart Business Digest: The Inflation Reduction Act Still Does Not Reduce Inflation
The decline in consumer price inflation in July was widely celebrated in financial markets and the White House, but it did little to deter lawmakers from enacting the Inflation Reduction Act this week. That’s probably because the bill is not really aimed at reducing inflation. It is a tax and spending bill that subsidizes Democratic priorities on climate change and health, paid for with tax hikes. Over 10 years it is expected to reduce the budget deficit, which economists say could put downward pressure on inflation. But most of that reduction does not take place until 2027 through 2031, long after the Federal Reserve projects it will have brought inflation back down to its two percent target. The Penn Wharton Budget Model’s analysis of the original version of the bill found that the Inflation Reduction Act actually raised inflation slightly over the first few years. This is because the bill’s spending increases would push up demand while its tax hikes on corporations and … [Read more...] about Breitbart Business Digest: The Inflation Reduction Act Still Does Not Reduce Inflation

The 26-year-old Florida model, who on the day of Obumseli's death called 911 to report that her boyfriend had been stabbed during a violent fight between the two, has now been charged with second-degree murder, despite police at the time ruling the incident self-defense. The arrest and the charge "completely shocked" Clenney's defense lawyer Frank Prieto, who told the Miami Herald that he looked forward to "clearing her name in court." According to the Miami-Dade County's arrest warrant shared with Newsweek , the initial conclusions reached by police were later reviewed after investigators received the medical examiner's findings, which concluded that Obumseli, a 27-year-old cryptocurrency investor, had died of a knife wound that punctured the subclavian artery in the right side of his chest. … [Read more...] about What we know about Courtney Clenney, the OnlyFans model arrested for murder

STING operation
Evenings in Kochi are spent in feverish anticipation of the enemy. Windows and doors slam shut. The battle gear is hastily brought out—bats, mats, coils, oils, nets and meshes. And then the war begins. For decades together now, Kochi has been fighting this ongoing battle with the mosquito. From tried-and-tested sprays, lotions and vaporisers to indigenous concoctions and home remedies including whimsical ones such as planting pitcher plants in the courtyard, very few things remain to be experimented with. “We in Kochi have devised unique ways of walking and staying put in a place. (Observe people waiting at the bus stop). We subconsciously move our body to reduce damage. The mosquito has become so deeply ingrained in our psyche,” says Dileep K., an IT professional, who lives in Panampilly Nagar. Recently, a small fire broke out in the area after a couple of residents decided to burn some dried grass to deal with the problem. December, which is the breeding season for mosquitoes, is … [Read more...] about STING operation
