Summary

The Lebanese prime minister said that ammonium nitrate caused the major explosion in Beirut. But the question is, why were there thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate just sitting in a warehouse in the first place? NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio says he's allowed to skip the permit process to paint BLM murals on NYC streets, but pro-Trump groups are not? They still have to apply for permits. Sounds fair. Billionaire Oprah Winfrey says there's a caste system in America and white people are at the TOP with their white privilege. In a new interview, presidential candidate Joe Biden doesn't handle it well when asked if he has taken a cognitive test—"Come on, man!" Lastly, protesters sue the city of Seattle because they needed to purchase "expensive" gear in order to protest safely. Yes, you read that correctly.
