An attempt to honor Juneteenth has backfired spectacularly for one Georgia Ikea. An Atlanta branch of the Scandinavian furniture chain has sparked outrage with what employees are calling an intensely problematic menu curated to celebrate the holiday, which marks the emancipation of the very last enslaved Americans. “To honor the perseverance of Black Americans and acknowledge the progress yet to be made, we observe Juneteenth on Saturday, June 19, 2021,” begins an email acquired by TMZ, which was sent to employees at the branch last week. “Look out for a special menu on Saturday which will include: fried chicken, watermelon, mac n cheese, potato salad, collard greens, candied yams.” The selection, including items that have historically been used to demean African-Americans through stereotyping, resulted in multiple employees calling out of work in protest, according to a local news channel. “You cannot say serving watermelon on Juneteenth is a soul food menu when you don’t even...

TAMPA, Fla. - The trial was three years in the making, but after a few hours, a jury found Ronnie Oneal III guilty of the brutal murders of his 9-year-old daughter and the mother of his two children in 2018. His son barely survived the attack and lived to testify against his father at the age of 11. The jury found Oneal guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He was also found guilty of arson, two counts of aggravated child abuse, and resisting an officer without violence. Oneal sat quietly and did not appear to react as the jury foreman read the verdict at 7 p.m., just over four hours after deliberations began. Earlier Monday, prosecutors began their closing arguments the same way they began their opening remarks: with the 911 call from 33-year-old Kenyatta Barron, Oneal’s girlfriend, as she pleaded for her life. Prosecutors said, by then, she had already been shot and, while the recording continued, Oneal can be heard beating her with a...

https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southeast/man-wakes-up-with-1-3-trillion-in-cryptocurrency-cant-withdraw-it/ (NewsNation Now) — Christopher Williamson is a trillionaire, according to his cryptocurrency app. There’s just one problem – he can’t take his money out. And he thinks he’s probably not really a trillionaire. The man from Georgia says he invested $20 in a fringe cryptocurrency called Rocket Bunny. It’s never traded at more than $0.00000000007 per coin. He woke up Tuesday to find that his humble $20 had multiplied around 65 billion times. He rushed to his computer to withdraw it, but Coinbase, the app he uses to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, kept spitting out errors. Eventually, Coinbase support told him their team is reviewing the situation to find “the best solution.” On Friday, he tweeted a picture showing his account was still worth $1.3 trillion. “I know I’ll never get $1 trillion, but I hope something comes out of it if that makes sense,” Williamson told...

Cherysse Cleveland was charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault. Police in Ravenna were called to the McDonald's restaurant on Monday morning to deal with a report of a woman attacking employees behind the counter. When officers arrived at around 9:40 a.m., 44-year old Cherysse Cleveland was observed attempting to strike several employees. Upon investigation, police determined that the cause of the incident was Cleveland wanting to mix flavors of her slushie together. When told by the manager at McDonald's that was not possible, Cleveland became irate and stormed behind the counter to make the slushie mix herself. Police say the manager at the McDonald's tried to block Cleveland's path and was punched. Another employee was able to get Cleveland back into the customer area, but was punched in the right eye and suffered multiple abrasions. The employee was finally able to wrestle Cleveland to the ground. Cleveland was detained by police and charged with two counts of...

Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in America, is finally on the precipice of becoming a federal holiday, as the House on Wednesday passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act by a vote of 415-14. All 14 "no" votes came from Republicans. Two members did not vote. “What I see here today is racial divide crumbling, being crushed this day under a momentous vote that brings together people who understand the value of freedom,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), the sponsor of the bill, said at a press conference with other lawmakers shortly before the vote. Multiple Republicans expressed concern during House floor debate that officially calling the holiday Juneteenth National Independence Day could lead to confusion with Independence Day on July 4. One Republican, Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.), said ahead of the vote that making Juneteenth a federal holiday was "an effort by the left to create a day out of whole cloth to celebrate identity politics...
