Donated to the state in 1992, the eight-foot-tall whipping post was previously used at the Sussex Correctional Institute. Residents of the community called for the post’s removal, citing its affiliation with racial discrimination and violence. Delaware removed whipping as a punishment for crimes in 1972, making it the last state in the U.S. to abolish the penalty. “Such relics of the past should be placed in museums to be preserved and protected for those who want to remember the cruel, inhuman, barbarous acts perpetrated on our citizens,” said Delaware Heritage Commission Vice Chairwoman Reba Hollingsworth in a Wednesday statement....
Yes, it does have to be said, and repeated over and over. As Griffin is released Monday, and for however long his career lasts, his rookie season is going to be treated as some kind of mirage, as a figment of everybody’s imagination.

Now Misbah has a Kawasaki Ninja H2, one of the fastest bikes allowed on Indian streets. She’s the only woman in India to ride one, and she saved the money to buy it all on her own. Few women in India ride two-wheelers, other than low-power scooters. Sports and cruise motorbikes are still primarily a man thing. “At INR 3.9 million ($52,000), the bike has a pretty high price tag,” said Harmeet Singh, showroom manager at Kawasaki West Delhi....
“Although we expected the Delta variant to become the dominant strain in the United States, this rapid rise is troubling,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a Thursday press briefing. “We know that the Delta variant has increased transmissibility and it is currently surging in pockets of the country with low vaccination rates,” she added. “We also know that our authorized vaccines prevent severe disease, hospitalization and death from the Delta variant and results....

Cousins revealed in an interview with “The Undefeated” that he no long wants to identify by his nickname of “Boogie.” “It’s just like, Jesus Christ! It’s so much extra put on with ‘Boogie,’” Cousins said. “I don’t want to be Boogie. I just wanna be DeMarcus. “I want my family and myself to be comfortable wherever I am at the time, and just be able to relax and kind of let my hair down....
Thatta kid. Original Story DeMarcus Ware played for the Cowboys from 2005 to 2013. That means he’s pretty well set into any and all NFC East rivalries. That was apparently bad news for Ware’s waiter on Easter Sunday, who is a Washington fan.

The song—entitled “29”—seemingly addresses an age gap in an old romance, and it has led some people to discuss how Valderrama has been involved with other younger women over the years. The age disparity mentioned in the lyrics from the chorus for “29” matches the one between the singer and the former That ’70s Show star. Lovato sings, “Finally 29/Funny, just like you were at the time/Thought it was a teenage dream, just a fantasy/But was it yours or was it mine?...
Ryan Farrar, who is running for election in the first congressional district in Northwest Indiana, has been criticized for a number of tweets sent over the course of several days in which he hit out at “COVIDIOTS” and “MAGAts.” In a tweet from April 21, Farrar condemned those who demonstrated in Indiana and elsewhere across the U.S., demanding that CODID-19 lockdown restrictions be lifted in order to help the economy....
Trump Jr. on Thursday posted a photo of himself wearing army print clothing and holding an apparatus, with Guilfoyle, who is a Trump campaign senior adviser, dressed as a witch. “Witch Hunt!!!” Trump Jr. wrote, using his father’s favorite line for his impeachment inquiry and the Mueller probe. “Happy Halloween folks! With all the bullshit the Democrats are throwing out there we just couldn’t resist.” While Trump Jr. intended to mock Democrats, he was trolled in return....
Democratic analysts told Newsweek that the narrow window between the former Massachusetts governor’s primary campaign launch yesterday and the Iowa caucuses in February made it “near-impossible” for him to become a frontrunner in the race. One strategist also doubted that the moderate would pull votes away from Joe Biden, but could elevate himself if he is able to “cobble together” the votes of “low-tier” candidates on the same political wavelength....
Recent historical precedent shows that the party of the president in the White House generally loses House and Senate seats in the midterm of the president’s first term. Democrats control both legislative chambers with slim majorities, meaning even just a few losses could shift control of Congress to Republicans. Meanwhile, polls consistently show President Joe Biden’s approval rating at historic lows, which many see as a bad sign for Democrats’ chances of winning in November....
Defeated governments have been reluctant to jam through consequential, controversial legislation in these so-called lame-duck periods, for good reason: having removed a party from power, it is reasonable for voters to expect lame-duck governments to behave as caretakers rather than changemakers. It’s one of the reasons that then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rushed the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in October 2020—he didn’t want the optics of having a Senate majority that the electorate just deposed making such an important decision....
A group of Hispanic Democrats with ties to the White House moved from their Signal chat known as “The Latino Braintrust” to their first call to gird against a repeat of 2020, when the narrative around Latino voters got away from them once Florida turned redder and Donald Trump won a higher share of the vote than expected. The messaging call focused on all possibilities, such as Senator Catherine Cortez Masto losing amid a red wave, the senator winning but Hispanic voters moving sharply toward Republicans, and other risks....
On college campuses, his face is a more common sight than Ronald Reagan or even John F. Kennedy. Even more common are the tributes to Che’s supposed altruism and compassion, penned by those who share his communist sympathies. As one British union official recently wrote in U.K.-based Tribune Magazine, “[He] committed his life to the cause of the oppressed—and in the process, became one of the twentieth century’s most influential figures....

Citing ESPN’s recent editing out of Schilling’s famous “bloody sock” game from its Red Sox vs. Yankees “30 for 30” documentary, Miller mockingly compared ESPN to communist North Korea Wednesday night.
