A group of revellers at the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan, US were given a real scare on 8 July when the Magic Carpet ride almost tipped over.

A video shows people on the ground desperately trying to keep it upright as it continues to rotate wildly. Fortunately, it eventually stopped and no injuries were reported – those onboard were just a little shaken up.

The authorities in Charlottesville, Virginia have taken down bronze statues of famous Confederate generals Robert Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.

Speaking about America’s corporate competition laws, Biden gave an example of an unnamed 26-year-old employee who couldn’t leave her company for another one offering a higher wage because of a non-compete clause.

"You can’t leave Burger King to go to McDonald’s. Come on. Is there a trade secret about what’s inside that patty? ” the president asked.

Last year, McDonald’s called out Biden for incorrectly claiming that McDonald’s hourly workers were required to sign non-compete agreements 😐

🏫 According to a new policy, which the CPS Board of Education signed in December, schools must “maintain a condom availability program” for grades 5 and up.

The following is text from the Chicago Public Schools Policy Manual:

📝 B. Condom Availability Program: Schools that teach grade 5th and up must maintain a condom availability program. CPS provides guidance regarding the notification to parents and access to condoms by approved school representatives.

Are they literally encouraging 11 year old children to have sex?

Bill Stevenson, former husband of the current FLOTUS Jill Biden, allegedly once enjoyed a relationship with Kathie Durst, the first wife of suspected American serial killer Robert Durst.

According to the media outlet, Stevenson decided to share this story for the first time due to Durst’s declining health, and also due to the murder charges he's currently facing in California.

A criminal spirit seems to surround this family...

🧑‍🚀 Jeff Bezos may not become the world’s first billionaire to fly into space but he's hellbent on making sure his flight is the only one that counts, technically speaking.

Bezos’ Blue Origin company tweeted a new infographic suggesting that Virgin Galactic's Unity space plane – that will take Richard Branson and five other passengers beyond Earth's atmosphere on 11 July – should not be considered a “space” flight because it won't cross the so-called Kármán line.

😄 The jealousy!

Parents groups formed to combat critical race theory in K-12 schools vowed not to back down after teachers’ unions said this week that they would go to court to allow the concept to be taught in the nation’s classrooms.

The leaders of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association have vowed to use their deep pockets and extensive political and lobbying muscle to defend teachers who support curriculums infused with critical race theory, which teaches that American laws and systems are inherently racist, and to employ opposition research teams to go after the groups hostile to that teaching.

😒 Nobody is going to be hurt but they are preparing to get their revenge...

💍 A Michigan mayor is facing scrutiny after he admitted to using campaign funds to pay for a portion of his daughter’s wedding.

Mayor LeRoy Burcroff acknowledged that he used $4,500 in campaign funds to pay for an open bar at his daughter’s wedding.

The most ridiculous thing is that his attorney, Daniel Wholihan said that the event was also campaign-related because many members of Burcroff’s campaign team were in attendance.

🥂 At least, we could hope that the drinks were really good

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

Very important that Senate Republicans not allow our hard-earned tax reductions to be terminated or amended in an upward trajectory in any way, shape, or form. They should not be making deals on increasing taxes for the fake infrastructure proposals being put forward by Democrats, almost all of which goes to the ridiculous Green New Deal Marxist agenda. Keep the Trump Administrations tax cuts just where they are. Do not allow tax increases. Thinking about it, I have never seen anything so easy to win politically. Also, RINO Republicans should stop negotiating the infrastructure deal—you are just being played by the Radical Left Democrats—they will give you nothing!
