A Michigan state senator apologized for wearing a face mask that appeared to resemble the Confederate flag during a legislative session last week. Dale Zorn, a Republican representing Ida Township, wore the mask his wife made for him — red with blue stripes and white stars -- on the Senate floor in Lansing on Friday. Shot by local news outlets showed Zorn wearing the mask while seated in the chamber, sparking outrage.
Senator Lindsey Graham has weighed in on reports Kim Jong Un has died, saying he would not be 'shocked' if the North Korean despot was 'dead or incapacitated', as the dictator's 31-year-old sister emerges as his most likely successor. Graham said in such a tightly controlled state as North Korea rumors about the leader's death would not be allowed to go 'unanswered'. Though North Korea has never announced who would succeed Kim Jong Un in the event of his death, analysts believe his sister, Kim Jo Yong would, likely form a regency with a number of loyalists until one of Kim's young children is old enough to over take the reigns.
COVID Party! Around 1,000 people ignored coronavirus lockdown orders and packed into an apartment to party in Chicago’s West Side over the weekend. Videos emerged on social media showing the raucous group dancing, drinking, and chatting in a packed room on Saturday, ignoring warnings to practice social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Chicago’s leaders Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Governor J. B.

However, the group of youngsters defied all preventative measures and gathered for an evening of fun. #facepalm

Inmates at an El Salvador prison were forced together in a jailhouse lockdown as authorities ignored social distancing rules on Saturday. The Izalco prison inmates were crammed next to each other after President Nayib Bukele ordered a 24-hour lockdown of prisons containing gang members. President Bukele said their leaders would be sent into solitary confinement after a sudden spike of 22 homicides on Friday. President Bukele wrote on Twitter: 'No contact with the outside world. Shops will remain closed and all activities are suspended until further notice. 'Gang leaders will go into solitary confinement.' That number was the highest total in a single day since Bukele took office last June, a police spokesman said.
