'Ain't that serious': Miami spring breakers party on

 

It's one of many public health questions facing the United States:
how to convince party-hungry spring breakers to take the coronavirus seriously and opt for social distancing, instead of the beach.

In Miami, bars, restaurants and nightclubs will close from 11 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, but Brady Sluder from Ohio vowed to keep partying.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRADY SLUDER, SPRING-BREAKER FROM OHIO, SAYING:
"If I get corona, I get corona. "At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying."
Miami will shut movie theaters, gyms and other businesses to discourage gatherings of more than 10 people.

Officials fear that otherwise, people could help spread COVID-19.
Authorities say that young adults are just as likely to be infected - even if they are less likely to become severely ill.

But Brianna Smith, a 21-year-old from Wisconsin, complained the measures were too drastic.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRIANNA LEEDER, 21-YEAR-OLD SPRING-BREAKER, FROM WISCONSIN, SAYING:
"It's really messing up with my spring break. What is there to do here other than go to the bars or the beach? And they're closing all of it. "I think they're blowing it way out of proportion. I think it's doing way too much."
Others voiced frustration Miami's iconic South Beach was closed off.


(SOUNDBITE) (English) ATLANTIS WALKER, 21-YEAR-OLD SPRING-BREAKER FROM INDIANA, SAYING:
"What they're doing is bad, we need a refund. This virus ain't that serious. There's more serious things out there like hunger and poverty, we need to address that."
Health authorities say the virus IS serious.


And U.S. President Donald Trump's tone has changed dramatically on the pandemic from initiatlly playing it down, to suddenly urging urgent action and asking for sledgehammer $1 trillion dollars in stimulus to fight the crisis.
It's already killed more than 100 people across the country and now, cases have been reported in all 50 states.

Following racist backlash over Target ad, Honey Pot CEO isn't shaken by negativity: 'People can feel and say what they want' (any other race would be called racist)


Hey Target..... my hundreds and hundreds of cash a month that I USED TO SPEND at your store will be going to another store.



Following racist backlash over Target ad, Honey Pot CEO isn't shaken by negativity: 'People can feel and say what they want'


Yahoo Lifestyle
After being featured in a Target ad series, “Founders We Believe In,” the CEO of the natural feminine-hygiene brand Honey Pot Company was unexpectedly hit with criticism — for saying she hoped to create opportunity for black girls with great ideas.

“The reason why it’s so important for Honey Pot to do well, is so the next black girl that comes up with a great idea, she could have a better opportunity,” company founder Beatrice Dixon says in the ad. “That means a lot to me.”

Apparently this didn’t sit right with a number of Target’s customers, as the criticism and harassment, Dixon tells Yahoo Lifestyle, started almost immediately after the commercial’s release — “first through social media, email, and now Trustpilot reviews.”

Still, says the ever-positive entrepreneur, “The silver lining in all of this has been able to see the outpouring of love and support. Even though we’re getting negative reviews, it’s beautiful that people can feel and say what they want.”

And do that they did. On customer review site Trustpilot, Honey Pot received a storm of negative reviews over the weekend, lowering her average rating to one star. One customer review read, “I can't support a company in good faith that is openly racist about their customers.”

Meanwhile, many of the poor reviews included blatantly racist rhetoric, including, “13% of the population commits 50% of murders and 80% of all crime. They should empower black women to get black men to stop raping 10-40 thousand white women per year in the US. Your entire race is a joke. You commit 25x more crime against white people than we do against you. 90% of all interracial crimes are black-on-white. Go back to Africa and feel ‘empowered’ there. No one wants you here.”

Another review read, “Cheap and terrible product, and probably dindu nuffin,” ending with the racial slur that’s derived from “a bastardization of the phrase ‘didn't do nothing,’ a plea for innocence often used in reference to unarmed black men killed by police,” used to mock black people during numerous protests in 2014 and 2015.

Additionally, numerous reviews associated the products with the coronavirus, while some complained about the quality of the Honey Pot’s hair products ー which do not in fact exist.
Luckily, a flood of support from the Black social media community has since rallied around the black-woman owned company to counteract those reviews.

The Queen Will Be Disappointed That Meghan and Harry Aren't Bringing Archie to England for Their Final Royal Engagements (Harry and Meg are selfish)



(How DARE you keep the Queens grandchild from her. Oh unless the rumors are true and Harry isn't really Charles son.  Go google it.....)







The Queen Will Be Disappointed That Meghan and Harry Aren't Bringing Archie to England for Their Final Royal Engagements

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly aren't bringing Archie to England for their "final round of official engagements."
  • This will likely be an upset for the Queen, who hasn't had much time with her great-grandson.
If you've been keeping up with the royal fam (and if not, how dare you), you'll know that Queen Elizabeth requested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle return to England this month. She wants them to attend the annual Commonwealth Service with the rest of the royal family, and this trip to the U.K. is expected to be Harry and Meghan's "final round of official engagements before returning to their new base in Canada."
Harry arrived in England last week is and is already making appearances, but Meghan is still in Vancouver. And now, according to The Sunday Times, it's expected that Meghan won't bring baby Archie with her when she makes her way across the pond.
And it looks Archie staying behind in Canada is likely "disappointing" for the Queen, as a source previously shared that she was "very sad" that she wouldn't have more time with her great-grandson after Harry and Meghan's move. The source said, "she will be very sad to have barely seen Archie and that he will miss out on growing up with his cousins and wider family."
It was also reported that Archie has only met his royal cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis a "handful of times," so it's curious that Harry and Meghan aren't taking this opportunity to give Archie time with his family. That said, I've never had a demanding schedule of royal events and appearances before, so maybe it's just a whole lot easier for Meghan and Harry to leave Archie at home where they won't have to worry about him. Who knows!

The Queen Wants Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Departure from the Royal Family "Over and Done With"

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to leave the royal family has been "hurtful" to Queen Elizabeth.
  • According to a source, the Queen is at "the point where she doesn’t want to think about it anymore."
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still trying to figure out their transition away from royal life, what their new brand name will be, and how they'll make money, it looks like Queen Elizabeth is very much over the situation and would rather not spend anymore time thinking or talking about Harry and Meghan's decision to leave the royal family.

According to a new report from Vanity Fair, it seems like the Queen is still upset by their leaving. A source close to her shares, "She generally doesn’t want to talk about it. The Queen has been keen to get this resolved because she sees it is damaging to the monarchy and on a personal level I think this has been rather hurtful for her. She has got to the point where she doesn’t want to think about it anymore, she just wants it over and done with."

And while it sounds like cutting Harry and Meghan off from the royal family has been hard for her, the Queen has been praised for how she's been handling it. Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith tells Vanity Fair, "by ruling against their use of the Sussex Royal brand, she drew the line on exploiting their royal connection for profit. I think in the process she has showed the sort of flexibility and adherence to standards that strengthen the monarchy."

So basically, the Queen has good reasons for not letting Harry and Meg remain titled members of the royal family, even though she's not happy about it.

Meghan Markle's Best Friend, Jessica Mulroney, Registered a Sussex Global Charities Website This Week




Meghan Markle's Best Friend, Jessica Mulroney, Registered a Sussex Global Charities Website This Week

  • Earlier this week, stylist Jessica Mulroney registered the website sussexglobalcharities.com, presumably on behalf of her longtime friend, Meghan Markle.
  • The move came just days before Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, announced that they would no longer use the word "royal" in their personal branding following their royal exit this spring.

The Sussexes have wasted exactly zero time moving onto Plan B when it comes to their post-royal life global brand.

Some context: This week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they will no longer use the word "royal" in their personal brand following their royal exit. The decision to drop the "royal" from the couple's well-established "Sussex Royal" brand was reportedly the result of pressure from the Queen and Harry and Meghan made it pretty damn clear that they weren't fans of the move in their newly-released statement on their spring 2020 transition plan.


On Saturday, the Daily Mail reported that Meghan's longtime best friend, stylist, host, and entrepreneur Jessica Mulroney, had registered the website registered the website sussexglobalcharities.com through her own charity, the Shoebox Project Foundation, which supports vulnerable women.

While we normals didn't learn of the end of "Sussex Royal" until Friday, it's clear that Harry and Meghan knew (or at least suspected) where things were landing on the subject at least a few days earlier, since Mulroney registered the URL last Wednesday, presumably on behalf of the couple.
This isn't the first time the Sussexes have used friends to slyly register websites they know they might want to use in the future. According to the Daily Mail, Meghan's US-based business manager, Andrew Meyer, registered two websites—archefoundation.com and archefoundation.org—on October 23, 2018. For those doing the math at home, that's just eight days after Meghan revealed she was pregnant with the couple's first child. This also suggests that Harry and Meghan already had baby names picked out and maybe have even had a clue as to their then-future baby's sex, which is kind of fascinating in its own right.

Celebrity Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Say the Queen Can't Legally Stop Them from Using the Term "Royal" (They are making a fool out of the Queen, Charles and others)

 
 WOW..... They are making a fool out of the royal family... The crown really is being tarnished.
For a couple that wants to stay out of the public, they keep telling everyone to keep checking their websites for updates.
Come On Queen and Prince Charles.... they are making fools out of you! (And most of all the "people" for allowing Harry and his wife to do this to their Palace)

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Say the Queen Can't Legally Stop Them from Using the Term "Royal"


Alicia Brunker

Weeks after announcing they would step down as senior members of the royal family, the drama surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's exit is showing no signs of slowing down.

On Friday, it was revealed that the couple would no longer use the "Sussex Royal" moniker in their branding efforts after the Queen forbid it. However, in a new statement, Meghan and Harry make it *very* clear that they are only dropping the title in order to comply with Queen Elizabeth's wishes, explicitly pointing out that she legally has no right to stop them from using the term overseas.

"While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word "Royal" overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use "Sussex Royal" or any iteration of the word "Royal" in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020," they said.

Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry have removed their applications to trademark the term, which they admit were "filed as protective measures" and "reflected the same standard trademarking requests as done for The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."

The website also implies that the Sussexes feel that they are being treated differently to other members who have sought employment outside the monarchy, highlighting how they are subject to a one-year review."While there is precedent for other titled members of the Royal Family to seek employment outside of the institution, for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a 12-month review period has been put in place," they pointed out.

In so many words, Meghan and Harry aren't happy with the way the Queen is handling their transition and aren't afraid to let everyone know as much.

Harry and Meghan Just Boldly Pushed Back at the Queen's Decision About Their Sussex Royal Brand

  • The decision was reportedly Queen Elizabeth's, who apparently didn't want the couple to continue using the "Sussex Royal" brand after they step back as working royals.
  • In a longer statement on their website, ....

    Harry and Meghan made it clear that, although they will respect the Queen's decision on the subject, they take issue with it and that she doesn't have "any jurisdiction" to stop them from using the word royal going forward.


Make some popcorn, because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal exit is getting borderline petty.
On Friday, the couple confirmed via a spokesperson that they will not use the word "royal" in their branding after their exit becomes official this spring. The Sussex rep said, per Page Six:
"While The Duke and Duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organisation, given the specific UK government rules surrounding use of the word ‘Royal,’ it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organisation, when it is announced this Spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘SussexRoyal’ in any territory post Spring 2020."
Harry and Meghan aren't happy about this development, however. The couple were reportedly under pretty intense pressure from Queen Elizabeth and Buckingham Palace to drop the "Royal" from their official branding.

In a longer statement on their Spring 2020 transition on their official website, SussexRoyal.com (which, given this development, will need a new URL come March), Harry and Meghan made it perfectly clear how they feel about the decision.

In their technically-polite but definitely-passive-aggressive statement, the Sussexes boldly made a point of noting that the Queen doesn't actually have any authority to stop them from using the word royal:
"While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ or any iteration of the word ‘Royal’ in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020."
This is true of course—but not something that needed to be explicitly pointed out, either. The fact that Harry and Meghan decided to include this in their statement makes it very clear just how contentious the decision was. Only time will tell if this snowballs into anything more than low-key pettiness though.

The insider also revealed that Archie 'already has a big personality, like his daddy', adding: 'He's curious about every little thing and has the absolute, most adorable giggle. He's just pure love and joy.'
DailyMail.com did not receive a response from Meghan's team after reaching out for comment. 
However, hours after publishing this piece, their spokesperson said Meghan and Harry had come to an agreement with the Queen that their organization, when it is announced this Spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation. 
It added: 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ''SussexRoyal'' in any territory post Spring 2020.'
The news comes as Prince Harry, 35, was spotted making a grocery run in Vancouver on Saturday. 
He was seen carrying an eco-friendly bag full of groceries as he headed home to the $14 million Vancouver Island mansion where he and Meghan are living with baby Archie.
Harry appeared to be in good spirits while carrying out the everyday task as sources have previously told DailyMail.com both he and Meghan have relished being 'real homebodies' since leaving the UK, and doing common tasks such as taking the dogs out and hiking with friends.
On Wednesday it was announced the couple would no longer have an office at Buckingham Palace starting in April, following their decision last month to step down as senior royals
The source added: 'Meghan told her close friends that letting go of their staff (in England) shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. '

Meghan and Harry have likely spent a small fortune on their Sussex Royal website to complement their hugely popular Instagram feed. 
They have also sought to register Sussex Royal as a global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and teaching materials.
In addition, they have taken steps to set up a new charitable organisation: Sussex Royal, The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But the Queen has now made clear that they will need to 're-brand'.
A source told DailyMail that, amid what has been described as a 'complex' situation, the 'fine detail' is still being thrashed out.
The Queen's command is thought to represent a major blow to the Sussexes, who would be faced with re-registering everything from their website to their charity under a new label. 
Harry and Meghan first began using the Sussex Royal branding this time last year, after they split their household from that of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – known as Kensington Royal.
The Sussexes' Instagram page, @sussexroyal, has amassed 11.2 million followers – the same number of fans as William and Kate's account.

George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin




George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman, the Florida neighbourhood watchman famously acquitted after killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has filed a lawsuit against Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg over tweets the presidential candidates posted to commemorate the shooting victim's birthday.
The lawsuit cited separate tweets both candidates posted on 5 February, the victim’s birthday, in which they call out issues of gun violence and prejudice in the US.
“Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today,” Mr Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, wrote in his tweet. “How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?#BlackLivesMatter.”
Ms Warren (D—MA) said her “heart goes out” to the shooting victim’s family and friends, writing: “He should still be with us today.”
The senator added: “We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free.”
Though neither of their tweets so much as named Mr Zimmerman, the 36-year-old claimed in his lawsuit that Mr Buttigieg and Ms Warren were committing “defamation with actual malice or at a minimum a reckless disregard for the truth”.
The lawsuit was seeking $15,000 (£11,524) in damages, while alleging the Democratic candidates wrongly connected the shooting victim’s death to gun violence.
Mr Zimmerman, who has long claimed self-defence after killing the unarmed black teenager, said Mr Buttigieg and Ms Warren posted the tweets as part of a “political agenda to garner votes in the black community”.
