Cornell 7 Update ⚖️ Governor Hochul draws rebuke for her inflammatory comments in the Netflix documentary InstaDocs: Jane Doe v. Cornell. “How disgusting, not again,” Hochul reflected on campus assaults during her time at Syracuse. None of the seven men have been criminally charged. The governor had previously appointed AG Leticia James as special prosecutor. James is planning to hire outside counsel after her own prejudicial remarks about the case. Does the governor’s documentary cameo undermine the appearance of fairness in a case still under prosecution?

ENOUGH..! IS ENOUGH…!! Tired of this BS..!!! Either PATEL MOVES ON IT NOW OR HE DROPS IT..!! This so called confirmation that’s been around for weeks is something we’ve known since the 7th of JANUARY, 2021..!! LET’S JUST CUT THE CRAP FOR ONCE…!!!

She was the first Black person ever to win an Oscar. Then her Oscar vanished, and nobody has found it since. Hattie McDaniel came to Los Angeles with a big voice and a gift for comedy. To get by, she worked as a maid. In 1939 she was cast as Mammy in Gone with the Wind. She wasn't allowed at its Atlanta premiere. The theater was whites-only. Clark Gable threatened to boycott, and McDaniel talked him into going anyway. On February 29, 1940, she went to the Academy Awards at the Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The hotel had a strict no-Black policy. She was let in as a favor and seated at a small segregated table against the far wall, away from her co-stars. Then they read her name. She walked to the stage with gardenias in her hair and said she hoped to always be a credit to her race. She was in tears. When critics attacked her for playing maids, she answered: "Why should I complain about making $700 a week playing a maid? If I didn't, I'd be making $7 a week being one." She died of breast cancer on October 26, 1952. Her last wish was to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery. It refused. It was segregated. She left her award to Howard University, where it sat in a glass case. Then, sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s, it was gone. No record of what happened to it. A rumor said protesters threw it into the Potomac. A law professor who investigated called that baseless. It has never turned up. In 2023, the Academy gave Howard a replacement, 83 years after she won. They kept her out of the premiere and out of the cemetery. They couldn't keep her out of history. Disclaimer: Supporting winners then got a plaque, not a statuette. Accounts vary on her exact words and when the award disappeared.

201 years ago today, a cannon fired in Buffalo, New York. A few miles down the line, another cannon heard it and fired. Then another, and another, all the way across the state and down the Hudson. About an hour and a half later, the boom reached New York City, more than 500 miles away. The Erie Canal was open. Almost nobody thought it could be done. Thomas Jefferson called the idea "little short of madness." Critics mocked it as "Clinton's Ditch," after Governor DeWitt Clinton, who bet his career on it. The problem was enormous. The land rises about 600 feet between the Hudson River and Lake Erie. And America had no trained civil engineers. The men who laid out the route were judges. One had used a surveying instrument for only a few hours before the job began. So they learned as they dug. Irish laborers and German stonemasons cut through forest, swamp and solid rock with shovels, horses and muscle. At Lockport they carved a staircase of locks straight up the Niagara Escarpment. Eight years later, it stretched 363 miles from Albany to Buffalo. Clinton boarded a boat called the Seneca Chief and rode the whole way to New York. Ten days later, in New York Harbor, he poured a keg of Lake Erie water into the sea. They called it the Wedding of the Waters. A keg of ocean water went back the other way and was poured into the lake. Before the canal, Buffalo to New York took two weeks by stagecoach. Now goods could float the whole way. Tolls paid off the construction debt within the first year, and New York became the busiest port in the country. The "ditch" built a nation's front door. Would you have bet on Clinton's Ditch?

New Capitol CCTV footage places Brian Cole Jr. on the northwest side of the complex at the exact time the pipe bombs were planted on the southeast side. Family and independent review say the evidence doesn’t match. Presumption of innocence still matters. #FreeBrianColeJr# Support the fight for a fair trial.

He landed his helicopter between American soldiers and the villagers they were about to kill. Then he told his own crew: if they open fire, shoot them. March 16, 1968. My Lai, South Vietnam. Hugh Thompson Jr., a 24-year-old Army warrant officer from Georgia, was flying a small scout helicopter over the village with two young crewmen, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn. They were supposed to spot enemy fire. There was none. What they saw instead were unarmed civilians, women, children and old men, being killed by American troops. Thompson saw soldiers moving toward a bunker where villagers were hiding. He set the helicopter down in the line of fire, climbed out and confronted the officer in charge. Andreotta and Colburn stood by the helicopter with their guns ready, aimed at their own side. Thompson coaxed about ten villagers out of the bunker and called in gunships to fly them to safety. Then his crew spotted movement in a ditch. Andreotta climbed in and pulled out a small boy, alive. They flew him to a hospital. Back at base, Thompson reported everything. An order went out to stop the killing. He was not treated as a hero. For years he was shunned and threatened, and some in Washington said he was the one who should be punished. Andreotta was killed in combat three weeks later. Thirty years after that day, in 1998, the Army finally awarded all three men the Soldier's Medal at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The general who led the Army's investigation wrote, "If there was a hero of My Lai, he, Thompson, was it." Courage isn't only facing the enemy. Sometimes it's standing up to your own side. Disclaimer: Based on Army records, the 1998 Soldier's Medal citation and news reports. The citation credits the crew with saving at least ten civilians. Andreotta's medal was awarded after his death.

“Rachna Shroff, a physician-scientist who spent much of her career researching treatments for pancreatic and biliary cancers, has died at the age of 47. She briefly battled an aggressive cancer of an unknown origin.” #RIP# 🥺🙏

REMEMBER THIS! On the eve of the publication of his exposé in which Steve Baker identified Shauni Kerkhoff as potentially being the "hoodie guy" based on gait analysis and other info, the FBI descended on Shauni Kerkhoff's home... And subjected her to a polygraph. SHE FAILED THE POLYGRAPH ON THE FOLLOWING TWO QUESTIONS: 1) "Did you place those pipe bombs"; and 2) "Did you place those pipe bombs that evening". Neither the FBI nor the DOJ have said anything about Baker's video from last week apparently placing Brian Cole Jr. (or a man who looks just like him) at another place at the time the pipe bombs were purportedly being placed. Not a word. Share.

The government wants the “conflict” declared because Cole’s attorneys are too effective. There is no “conflict” of interest. It’s the synergy of our “convergence” of interest that is outclassing the government’s case against Brian Cole Jr., and why they are in panic mode.
