Biden Signs COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act Into Law

FOX - Pres. Biden signed into law this past Thursday a bill that is aimed at countering a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the coronavirus pandemic, adding that the legislation will be part of the nation's first step toward unity. "I believe, with every fiber of my being, that there are simple, core values and beliefs that should bring us together as Americans. One of them is standing together against hate, against racism -- an ugly poison that has long haunted and plagued our nation," Biden told a group of advocates, agency officials, and a bipartisan group of lawmakers inside the East Room of the White House.

Bill Gates Reportedly 'Pursued' Multiple Women

FOX - Long after marrying his now-estranged wife Melinda in 1994, it turns out Bill Gates reportedly "pursued" several women who worked for him at Microsoft as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In one more significant instance, Gates reportedly emailed a female Microsoft employee in 2006, asking her out to dinner. "If this makes you uncomfortable, pretend it never happened," Gates wrote in an email to the employee, according to the report. Bridgitt Arnold, a spokesperson for Bill, told The Times that the "rumors and speculation surrounding Gates’ divorce are becoming increasingly absurd, and it’s unfortunate that people who have little to no knowledge of the situation are being characterized as ‘sources.’"

Biden Threatens Unvaccinated 'Will Pay The Price'

FOX - In a pitch to encourage unvaccinated Americans to get their vaccine shots this past Monday, Pres. Biden warned that "those who are not vaccinated will end up paying the price."
