Source YouTube: MSNBC, MyNBC5-WPTZ When the First Lady Jill Biden headed to the super-liberal state of Vermont for a fundraising event on Tuesday, she likely wasn’t expecting to be met by angry protesters. Unfortunately for her, however, that’s exactly what happened! Protesters Target Jill My NBC 5 reported that when Jill arrived in the town of Norwich for a fundraising event, she was undoubtedly shocked to be met by pro-Palestinian protesters who were quick to roll out the unwelcome mat for her. “We wanted to roll out the ‘unwelcoming mat,’” Nancy Welch, an organizer of Tuesday’s protest and a…

Members reject text drafted by the US in advance of another vote. The United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a United States-drafted resolution recognising the need for a ceasefire in Gaza. It was the first time the Americans had used such strong language, but it was not enough for Russia, China and Algeria. They rejected the text because it did not demand an immediate ceasefire and because it tied any pause in hostilities to the release of all Israeli captives. Another draft is due to be tabled on Monday, this time with stronger language. But can Council members…

South Korean crypto fugitive Do Kwon was released from prison in Montenegro early Saturday as the Supreme Court deliberates on extradition requests from US and South Korea. “We released Do Kwon from prison as his regular prison term for traveling with fake papers ended,” prison director Darko Vukcevic said by phone. “Since he is a foreign citizen and his documents were withheld, he was taken for an interview to police directorate for foreigners, and they will deal with him further.” Kwon’s lawyer Goran Rodic also confirmed his release. Kwon’s passport has been held back to prevent him from leaving the country,…
The Financial Times has a new generative AI chatbot called Ask FT that can answer questions its subscribers ask. Similar to generalized AI bots (like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini), users can expect a curated natural language answer to whatever they want to know — but with answers derived from the outlet’s decades of published information rather than sources that are harder to explain or are subject to ongoing legal action. So don’t expect it to give you an answer for the best recipe for fettucini alfredo. When we asked, “Who runs Microsoft’s AI products?” the tool returned an up-to-date answer…
Three days before the attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the board of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), whose job is to defend the country. The top priority, he told the assembled leaders of the security service, was to support what he called the special military operation – the official phrase for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Screenshot: NBC News Sometimes you simply have to stand back and admire the tenacity. Misguided as it may be. Far-left Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) opted into a fight with Harvard Law School graduate Ted Cruz regarding her declaration that “RICO is not a crime.” AOC made that statement during the questioning of a witness in this week’s House impeachment hearing. Ocasio-Cortez demanded that Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, name crimes that he believes President Biden committed. When he immediately did so, the New York Democrat tried to interrupt and talk over him. Then she became…
Big changes are in the works at Dulles International Airport (IAD) outside Washington, D.C. This week, the airport’s governing body unveiled design renderings for a new, 14-gate concourse that will be a big part of United Airlines’ operation at the airport in the coming years. The new, 400,000-square-foot terminal “E” will essentially run parallel to a portion of Dulles’ C/D concourse building, where the bulk of United’s hub operation is concentrated today.

Yes, robots can now take your orders at restaurants, prepare your food, and deliver it to you. And although this new technology harkens back to plenty of science fiction lore, no, the robot workplace ascendancy is not imminent. Bank of America analyst Sara Senatore said that retail robots aren’t here to steal jobs—they’re going to make them better. “It’s not that they are necessarily reducing the number of people,” Senatore told Fortune. “It’s more that they’re making those people more productive and happier.” Senatore wrote in a March 11 note that back-of-house robots in restaurants are the “vanguard of…
The 35 men are to be prosecuted for the hijacking of cargo vessel MV Ruen in December when they took the crew hostage. India has brought 35 captured Somali pirates to Mumbai to stand trial, days after its navy recaptured a hijacked bulk carrier and rescued several hostages. The destroyer INS Kolkata, which led the rescue operation, docked in India’s financial capital early on Saturday, a navy statement said. The hijacking of the Maltese-flagged MV Ruen in December, east of Socotra in the northern Arabian Sea, was the first time since 2017 that any cargo vessel had been successfully…

Last summer, the survival of Canopy Growth was in doubt. This week, the Canadian cannabis company watched its stock rise by about 114%. On Friday, Germany passed a measure decriminalizing possession and home cultivation of cannabis, starting on April 1. The measure won final passage in the Bundesrat, the upper chamber of Germany’s parliament, after some uncertainty. “The removal of narcotic status for cannabis is expected to accelerate growth of the German medical cannabis market,” the company said in a statement. Canopy, whose stock rose nearly 36% on Friday upon the news, owns the Germany-based vaporizer firm Storz &…
