those words shouldn t even compute, they shouldn t fit in the same sentence. a hate crime at a grocery store. this time it was buffalo residents in a predominantly black neighborhood who were just trying to take care of their families when a white gunman opened fire on saturday killing ten people and injuring three others. all of the evidence so far suggests this young man, this suspect, just 18 years old, was poisoned by laws and bs from online message boards. now police members of the media are going through his so-called manifesto, full of hateful memes and ideas and some of the same messages shared by the christchurch mosque killer. yes, it s the great replacement theory rearing its ugly head again, white replacement nonsense that convinces isolated men on the internet that a cabal is replacing whites with people of color. the same conspiracy theory you hear primetime on fox news. it s important no, it s essential to map the media environment that preys on white fear. t
act which prohibits government restrictions on abortion. even the so-called pro-choice republicans susan collins and lisa murkowski, you know, the same ones that claimed this would never happen. after presiding over the vote vice president kamala harris called out republican extremism. this vote clearly suggests that the senate is not where majority of americans are on this issue. it also makes clear that a priority for all who care about this issue, a priority should be to elect pro-choice leaders at the local, the state and the federal level because what we are seeing around this country are extremist republican leaders who are seeking to criminalize and punish women for making decisions about their own body. of course, the democrats in house joe manchin also voted no. he s not the only democrat with a moral opposition to abortion. bob casey voted with the democrat saying the circumstances around the entire debate on abortion have changed now that the supreme court has
streets of cities all over the globe as well. former leader of hamas, the terrorist, put out his own call, an all-call for people to support those killed in a day of jihad. he said he wants all of those hamas terrorists to know that they are supported. he has asked they protest all over the world and then anything they can do on their own. not really sure yet what that could be but the world is tightening its security. i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. israel has offered palestinians a way out before they move in and invade gaza and hunt down the monsters who attacked them. reports, though, that hamas is telling those more than 1.1 million civilians, their own people, the palestinians, not to evacuate northern gaza and get to safety. don t do that, which puts them critically in the middle to die. secretary of state antony blinken overwhelmed after seeing the images of the brutality by hamas that sparked the war. images so horrific, too horrific for us t
week? it s not. it s only wednesday. it s 4:00 in new york. we have had two days of testimony in the first criminal trial of an american ex-president. we have learned so much. we have heard extraordinary details of a conspiracy to interfere in a presidential election. the prosecution s first witness, former national enquirer ceo david pecker painted a vivid picture of that explicit agreement between himself and the ex-president, one of mutual benefit. negative stories about donald trump are bought and buried and negative stories about trump s rivals were embellished or in some instances fabricated. stories of women having affairs with trump were hidden. fake stories with hillary clinton, ted cruz, marco rubio were written up and published. photos were doctored, like this one, amounting to a phenomenon andrew weissmann referred to as ground zero of fake news. david pecker comes back for more tomorrow. court is quiet today. it resumes today. he takes the stand tomorrow. likel
developing stories including more on russia. a poll showing over half of americans say they do want an independent inquiry of the links between trump and russia. more than 60% say this is concerning for what it actually means for our democracy. couple that with the former national security adviser, mike flynn, offering testimony in exchange for immunity. now, today. vladimir putin spokesman claiming there is actually nothing to uncover. are you concerned about anything he might say about his contacts with russia? no. we are not. any blamings that russia could have been interfering in domestic affairs of the united states is slander. peskov saying that an allegation regarding the russian government s involvement in the recent killing of an opposition lawmaker is absurd. how will these events affect the already rocky path ahead for the trump administration?
