CBS News failed to correct a false claim that Karmelo Anthony, the black teenager who was convicted of murdering white teen Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, was convicted by an “all-white jury” during an interview with Anthony’s family.

While speaking with the outlet after the verdict, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, stated that what stood out to him was “the all-white jury.”

Court records and reporting indicate that the final 12-person jury included no black members. The final panel of 18 (including six alternates) had greater diversity, however, with courtroom reporters noting minorities such as Asian and Indian individuals among the jurors and alternates.

Chuck Schumer has served as a punching bag for angry Democrats for more than a year — taking flak on everything from his 2026 recruiting to his handling of government funding talks.

But with about five months until the midterm elections, the Senate minority leader is gently starting to punch back — pointing out how some of his bets are paying off as his party moves within striking distance of taking back the majority in November.

“There’s no victory lap to take in June,” he said in an interview in his Capitol office suite.

Karmelo Anthony’s Father Blames ‘White Attorney’ for His Son’s Murder Conviction– www.westernjournal.com

Ever since 19-year-old Karmello Anthony was convicted on Tuesday in the murder of a teenager last year, his supporters have been forced to go to extremes to find ways not to blame the killer for the crime.

They’ve blamed “white supremacy” for the prosecution — Anthony is black, his victim was white. They’ve blamed racism among prosecutors for keeping blacks off the jury.

And on Wednesday, his father put the blame, at least in part, on his son’s “white attorney” for the fact that Karmelo is going to prison.

Media personality Mimi Brown — a fixture on the black-oriented radio program “The Breakfast Club” — spoke to Anthony’s parents, Kayla Hayes and Andrew Anthony, during an interview Wednesday.

At one point, she asked the two, “So, do you believe your son received a fair trial?”

Both replied, “absolutely not” and Hayes promised to “keep fighting.” Brown also asked if the two would have done anything differently.

If you were hoping these parents would say something about raising their son not to stab other kids, or teaching him to be mature and walk away in a conflict that could escalate, you’ll be disappointed.

Leading Medical School Caught Practicing Race-Based Discrimination In Admissions, DOJ Probe Finds– trendingpoliticsnews.com

The U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights division announced Thursday, June 11, that the University of California, Davis School of Medicine (Davis Med) violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by discriminating on the basis of race in its admissions process. The determination follows a six-month investigation prompted by concerns over post-2023 affirmative action practices.

The findings center on Davis Med’s efforts to maintain racial diversity after the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA) decision, which banned race-based admissions in higher education. The DOJ concluded that the school intentionally circumvented this ruling by using socioeconomic proxies for race.

Politicians love to say they will be the guy (or gal) who represents all the people. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the same thing throughout his 2025 campaign for the highest office in the Big Apple: that he would be mayor for all the people. But at least one New York City councilman is now saying, “not so much,” when it comes to where in the city that Mamdani is focusing on various improvement projects.

City Councilman Phil Wong of Queens is accusing Mamdani of playing favorites, and distributing resources for city improvement efforts in neighborhoods that voted for him. There may also be some disturbing proof of this. A 2025 election map overlaid with Mamdani’s “First 100 Days” map using AI, compares voting demographics to where the various projects going on around the city are located. Some of these projects include roadwork, housing, and public transportation improvements.

As more and more revelations come to the fore about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who just won the Democrat primary this week, many Democrats seem to have adopted a simple mantra regarding his campaign: Vote for the Nazi: It’s important.

The saying echoes a slogan from campaigns past — one that supporters of Republican Sen. Susan Collins, Platner’s opponent in the general election, would do well to employ against Platner. The slogan demonstrates how Democrats will embrace a candidate — any candidate — so long as that person opposes President Trump.

The imminent deal ensuring Iran will never have a nuclear weapon was “the whole purpose” of the war, President Donald Trump explained Thursday at a press briefing announcing that a peace agreement will likely be officially signed in the next few days.

“Just had a big day,” Pres. Trump told reporters, noting that the deal is “subject to finalization of documents” at a signing ceremony expected to take place in Europe, perhaps over the upcoming weekend.

The signing will immediately trigger the end to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the president said:

“The strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe, over the weekend, in Europe. I won’t be able to be there, but J.D. will be there, the vice president, and some other people.”

The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from The Hills, is out of the running. His candidacy had drawn national attention because of his celebrity and willingness to challenge liberal governance in a city dominated by Democrats, but the buzz did not translate into enough votes to make the runoff.

Violence is wrong. This is what happens when a government ignores its citizens, sacrifices their security, and leaves them feeling like strangers in their own country. No one is surprised by the rage its failures ultimately provoke.

CBS:  Violent anti-immigration protests erupted in parts of Belfast on Tuesday evening with some masked demonstrators setting fire to a bus, cars, trash cans and homes. Far-right figures had called on social media for mass protests after a brutal stabbing attack the previous night in Northern Ireland’s capital.

A graphic video of the incident, showing a man slashing another man in the head and neck with a knife, spread quickly online earlier in the day. The Police Service of Northern Ireland detained and charged a Sudanese man in his 30s with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place and making threats to kill.

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and his former defense minister were sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday in a case alleging Yoon ordered drone flights over Pyongyang in 2024 to heighten tensions with North Korea and justify declaring martial law at home.

The full version of the Seoul Central District Court’s ruling was not immediately available. The same court earlier sentenced Yoon to life in prison for a rebellion conviction over his short-lived imposition of martial law in December 2024.

North Korea accused Seoul of flying drones over Pyongyang to drop propaganda leaflets three times in October 2024. South Korea’s defense minister at the time, Kim Yong Hyun, issued a vague denial before the Defense Ministry said it could neither confirm nor deny the allegations. Tensions rose sharply but did not lead to any military clashes.

One of Canada’s top constitutional freedom groups warned that a proposed social media ban for children under age 16 could create a host of “privacy-violating” rules leading to a nationwide-mandated digital ID.

Reacting to news of a social media ban proposed by the Liberal government, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) warned in an X post that the ban could lead to overreaching digital ID laws, noting that parents should be in charge of their children’s online use.

“The Justice Centre opposes government internet surveillance and the displacement of parents as the primary decision-makers responsible for protecting young people from online harms,” it said in its X statement.

The White House referred questions about the incident to the Department of the Interior. The incident comes as the National Mall is set to be the scene for events celebrating the 250th anniversary of US independence in the coming weeks.

Russia will restrict imports of most food, seeds, flowers, wood and fertilizer from Armenia starting on Friday, less than a week after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party secured a parliamentary majority in elections seen as a test of Yerevan’s pivot toward the West.

The federal agricultural safety agency Rosselkhoznadzor said the sweeping ban was issued in response to the “systematic detection” of pests in products imported from Armenia since May. It claimed that, in June alone, three separate cases of khapra beetle infestations were discovered in dried food shipments.

“The ban will remain in effect until a specific framework is developed to ensure the safety and traceability of shipped goods,” the agency said in a statement on Thursday, adding to an already long list of Armenian goods recently banned for import to Russia, including produce, flowers, mineral water and alcoholic products.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump just took a pivotal step toward removing government-endorsed discrimination from America’s legal system and undermining the institutional apparatus of critical race theory.

Critical race theory teaches that America is systemically racist and that even racially neutral policies are truly racist if they result in better outcomes for members of one race than for members of another. That’s the exact same logic as the legal theory known as “disparate impact.”

Cornell Law School defines disparate impact as a policy or rule “that seems neutral but has a negative impact on a specific protected class of persons.”
