The city of Tulsa has ordered that a Black Lives Matter mural, painted on a street in the district where the Black Wall Street massacre happened nearly 100 years ago, be painted over.

The Wednesday night decision came after chairman of the Tulsa Republican Party, Bob Jack, emailed his city councilor last week, stating interest in having a pro-police “Back the Blue” mural painted, reports KJRH TV. According to the local news station, Jack posed it as a rhetorical question—”he said he was already aware the city had no set process regarding street paintings.”

Jack also proposed a mural that read “Baby Liv...

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board doesn’t have enough lifeguards, so starting Friday it’s reducing the number of beaches with lifeguards from five to three.

Lifeguards will remain on duty at Thomas Beach at Bde Maka Ska, the main beach at Lake Nokomis and at Wirth Beach through Labor Day.

The Cedar Lake East and Lake Harriet North beaches will no longer have them, said Park Board spokeswoman Robin Smothers.

The Park Board had already scaled back lifeguard services this year because of the coronavirus. In a normal year, lifeguards are posted at eight of the Park Board’s 12 beaches. But the board was only able to hire enough lifeguards to staff five beaches this year. Lifeguard services also began a month later than normal, too, on July 2.

Mace Pepper Spray | $11 | Amazon

While this product is marketed toward women, there’s no good reason anyone can’t pick up a vial of pepper spray. It’s non-lethal protection against humanity’s shortcomings, and it’s only $11 to buy a Mace key chain holding up to 20 burst shots of the peppery substance. The spray reaches up to 12 feet, too, which should be ample room to send your assailant to the floor crying like a baby.

Twins officials spent Friday morning going over their health and safety protocols after two St. Louis Cardinals players tested positive for COVID-19.

St. Louis was in the Twin Cities earlier this week to play the Twins in a two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

The Cardinals players were tested before Wednesday’s game, then traveled after the game to Milwaukee and had an off day on Thursday. Their game on Friday evening against the Brewers has been postponed.

St. Louis’ traveling party, isolated in their Milwaukee hotel, was undergoing rapid testing Friday morning and the team said in a statement that it implemented contact tracing.

Meanwhile, Cleveland is set to play the Twins in the second of a four-game series at Target Field on Friday night, dressing for the second day in...

New Delhi: To prevent any distorted depiction of the Indian Army in films and Web series, the defence ministry has asked the Central Board of Film Certification and the I&B ministry to advise filmmakers to obtain a “no objection” certificate from it before the telecast of any film, documentary or Web series on Army themes.

The ministry also said producers should be advised to ensure that any incident that distorts the defence forces’ image or hurts their sentiments be prevented.

“Some production houses are making Army theme films using content that are distorting the Army’s image,” the letter said.

Sources said the defence ministry got some complaints raising objections about the portrayal of Indian Army personnel and military uniforms in an insulting manner in Web series.

The U.S. Postal Service was out there minding its business until the bully-in-chief took aim at the public service, calling it a joke, demanding it increase prices and claiming that mail-in voting would be compromised. When he was done with all his orange unhinged ranting, Trump did what he’s done throughout his presidency, which is to make sure someone was in place to do his dirty work.

Trump’s boy Louis DeJoy became the postmaster general in May...

PHILADELPHIA — In 2005, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow returned from work to find her husband and mother shot dead in the basement of her Chicago home. Investigators initially focused on a White Supremacist who had put out a hit on Lefkow.

But the killer turned out to be someone else entirely: a homeless electrician who had lost a medical malpractice suit in her courtroom. He killed himself when police pulled him over a week later — and found a list of enemy judges, including Lefkow, in his van.

Lefkow was forced to relive her family tragedy this month when a struggling lawyer armed with a gun and a grudge opened fire at the home of another female judge — U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in suburban New Jersey — killing her 20-year-old son and critically wounding her husband.
