DAVID DUKE

Donald Trump is betting he can win his way back to the White House by reviving the outsider appeal that fueled his success in 2016.

Former President Donald Trump is drawing criticism for dining with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

Shortly after Elon Musk took control of Twitter, some conservative personalities wasted no time to jump on the platform and recirculate long-debunked conspiracy theories in a tongue-in-cheek attempt to “test” whether Twitter’s policies on misinformation were still being enforced.

On Tuesday, Elon Musk said he would reverse Twitter’s ban of former President Donald Trump, who was booted in January 2021 for inciting violence at the U.S. Capitol, should he succeed in acquiring the social platform for $44 billion.

QAnon loyalists, neo-Nazis and a former American president: The list of people banned from Twitter is long, but their exile could soon end if Elon Musk buys the platform.

Trae Young scored 36 points, including nine points in the final minute, and the streaking Atlanta Hawks overcame Kevin Durant’s career-high 55 points to hold off the Brooklyn Nets 122-115 for their fifth consecutive win.

PC led 38-18 in the first before Villanova scored the first 11 points of the second. He joined Gillespie on the bench for the second half, wearing a boot. SECOND HALF WOESProvidence took an 11-point lead into halftime in its last game, against St. John’s on Wednesday.

Zegarowski, Jefferson and Ballock combined for 52 of the Bluejays’ points. Creighton led by as many as 13 with about seven minutes left in the second half. Creighton inbounded quickly, and Zegarowski pushed the ball up the floor and found the trailing Bishop for the dunk. Providence had just one turnover in the opening nine minutes of the half, but gave it away over the final 11 minutes. But it was a positive sign to see Jefferson, Zegarowski and Ballock assertive while still getting their teammates involved.

Trump's exchange with Democrat Joe Biden left the extremist group Proud Boys celebrating what some of its members saw as tacit approval. “I don’t know who Proud Boys are. When pushed by Wallace, Trump asked for the name of a group to condemn — and Biden suggested Proud Boys. “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by,” Trump said. Proud Boys members are ardent Trump supporters known for their violent confrontations with antifascists and other ideological opponents at protests, often drawing the largest crowds in the Pacific Northwest.

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has been banned from Twitter for breaking the social media platform's sites rules forbidding hate speech. The company said Friday that Duke's account has been permanently suspended for repeated violations of the Twitter rules on hateful conduct.It didn't specify what exactly Duke posted that triggered the ban, but its policy on hateful conduct prohibits promoting violence or threatening attacks against people based on religious affiliation, race and ethnic origin. Twitter said the ban was in line with its recently updated policy aimed at cutting down on harmful links. Under the new rules, the company may suspend accounts dedicated to sharing hateful content or that try to get around its blocks on sharing links to the material. Duke was the leader of the white supremacist KKK from 1974 to 1978.

The latest comes from Miami Democratic campaign consultant and lobbyist Evan Ross, who received heaps of criticism from other Florida Democrats yesterday after comparing Sanders to Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. "He is not 'our own' any more than David Duke is the Christian community's 'own,'" Ross, who is also Jewish, wrote in a Facebook post about Sanders. Former chair of @youngdems Miami & @MikeBloomberg supporter, @MrEvanRoss, says Bernie is no more part of the Jewish community than David Duke is part of the Christian community. Second, putting antisemites like Linda Sarsour on stage with a microphone is as vile as putting David Duke on stage with a mic. In recent weeks, many of his opponents, including fellow Democrats, have claimed Sanders is supporting or turning a blind eye to anti-Semites in his own ranks.
