ABC 11 ^
| 3/01/23
A Duke Energy Corp. subsidiary for North Carolina electric customers has asked state regulators to let them raise residential rates by 16.6% in the coming months largely to recover their fuel costs, which it said soared mainly from natural gas prices last year. Duke
Energy Carolinas serves about 2 million households and businesses in western and central North Carolina. It said Wednesday that if the request is approved by the state Utilities Commission, the typical residential customer's monthly bill would increase from $115.01 to a little over $134.11. The Charlotte-based utility emphasized such approved requests don't widen anticipated profits, but...

Daily life in the 21st century continues to outcrazy the satirists. It
takes a satire site, apparently, to tell the truth and spare us some of the craziness being promoted every day. I’m talking about South Park, though others like the Babylon Bee daily skewer the imbecilic nonsense found in the mainstream press and televised news. For some time now the duke and duchess of Sussex have been playing the victims from a background of great luxury, demanding privacy as they seek maximum publicity. Like me, South Park had enough of this and ran a fabulous parody of the couple...

1554: Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk

| February 23, 2018 | Headsman
On this date in 1554, Tudor nobleman Henry Grey — who for nine days had been the father of the queen — was beheaded at Queen Mary’s command. He
was one of the inveterate schemers who grappled to secure his family’s foot upon the throne during the uncertain years when Edward VI succeeded Henry VIII. Frail and underaged, Edward’s foreseeable early death without issue created a situation where the cream of the aristocracy could plausibly dream themselves the namesakes of the next great English dynasty. Heck, the late royal monster was himself just the son of the guy who had...

1478: The Duke of Clarence, in a butt of malmsey

| February 18, 2014 | Jonathan Shipley
On this day, in 1478, George Plantagenet was executed for treason against his brother King Edward IV — famously supposed (as in Shakespeare’s Richard III) to have been drowned in a butt of malmsey wine. George
Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, played an important role in the long-waged War of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars, battles, and skirmishes between 1455 and 1487 between supporters of rival branches of the House of Plantagenet for the English crown: the House of Lancaster versus the House of York. Plantagenet originally supported his brother’s claim to the throne. Through a series of battles...

Duke coach Kara Lawson said the teams played with a men's basketball for the first half of a loss to Florida State on Sunday. The 16th-ranked Blue Devils lost to the Seminoles 70-57 in Tallahassee, Florida -- the team's second Atlantic Coast Conference loss of the season. After
her team beat Pittsburgh 53-44 on Thursday, Lawson ended her news conference by speaking animatedly about Sunday's game. "This would never happen in a men's game. This would never happen," she said. "It's embarrassing for our sport."

The Taliban have expressed their fury after Prince Harry revealed he killed 25 enemy 'chess pieces' during his deployment in Afghanistan, in his tell-all memoir Spare. Speaking to MailOnline, the infamously brutal militants taunted the Prince, saying they had the last laugh over the West and the 'big mouth loser' Duke of
Sussex by recapturing the country in 2021. The Taliban said while their Mujaheddin 'chess pieces' are the ultimate victors of the conflict, Harry had 'fled to his grandmother's palace' and is now struggling to maintain a place in the Royal Family, in response to the claims made in...

Talk about making friends and influencing people. Duke
Energy, one of the main power providers for the Carolinas, really stepped in it over the Christmas weekend. For the first time in the energy company’s history, they were forced to institute rolling blackouts and beg their customers to conserve power…in the middle of a ferocious winter storm on Christmas Eve. For the first time in the company’s history, Duke Energy enacted rolling blackouts on Christmas Eve amid freezing temperatures. The move left half a million customers without power. And on Tuesday, the company issued an apology, attributing several compounding factors as...

Prince Harry has claimed his brother William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor during a heated argument over his wife Meghan Markle. In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, now the Prince of
Wales, which he claims left him with visible injuries. The furious row allegedly broke out at his London home in 2019, during which William is said to have branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive'. Harry accused his brother of 'parroting the press narrative' about his wife before a...

Prince Andrew sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre will be freed from gagging clause which banned her from speaking publicly about the Duke - one year after he paid out £12m in bid to draw line under scandal

Daily Mail ^
| 1/01/23 | Jessica Warren
Prince Andrew's sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre could return to the public eye next month as her gagging clause is lifted. Ms
Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, had alleged that she was forced to have sex with the Duke three times when she was 17 under the orders of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She launched her legal action against Andrew in August 2021, seeking unspecified damages for battery, including rape, and the infliction of emotional distress. It was settled outside of court on February 15, 2022, for a reported £12 million, with £2 million thought to have been...

DUKE OF BARK Prince Andrew relegated to ‘dogwalker in chief’ under Charles as he faces being frozen out of royal life, say experts

PRINCE Andrew will be nothing more than the Royal dog walker in chief under King Charles III as the disgraced Duke faces being nearly totally frozen out of the family, experts have said. Royal
observers believe shamed Andrew - often dubbed The Queen's favourite - faces very little meaningful future in The Firm despite his well reported ambition to return to frontline duties. Andrew is attempting to rehab his image as he dreams of making a comeback after humiliatingly settling out of court with sex accuser Virginia Giuffre. It was the latest in a lengthy string of embarrassments which were...

BYU student newspaper scoops left-wing media in Duke volleyball racial-slur saga

New York Post ^
| September 15, 2022 | Olivia Land, Emily Crane
A college volleyball player alleged spectators hurled racist abuse at her, but the claims were never proven — and it took a student newspaper to expose the truth as major left-wing media outlets ate up the tale. The
racist saga involving Brigham Young University first made national headlines late last month when Duke University sophomore Rachel Richardson went public with allegations that she had been subjected to racist slurs every time she served during a volleyball match in Provo, Utah, on Aug. 26. But BYU dropped a bombshell last week when it revealed that its “extensive” investigation into the matter,...

Brigham Young University announced Friday morning that, following an "extensive" investigation, there has been no evidence to corroborate an allegation made by a Duke women’s volleyball player that she was subjected to racial slurs during a game at BYU last month. The
Cougars athletics department released a lengthy statement summarizing its investigation into an Aug. 26 incident where Duke player Rachel Richardson claimed she was "targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match," which then evolved into "threats." Richardson alleged that BYU officials and coaches were made "aware of the incident" at the time but failed to act....

By now, the story has gone all around the world, as such stories tend to do. As
PJM’s Rick Moran noted when the story broke, it all started at “a women’s volleyball game played at BYU in Utah where a black Duke University player alleges that fans hurled racist taunts at her.” But as is so often the case with such incidents, “almost immediately, the story that Rachel Richardson, the only black starter on the Duke volleyball team, told began to fall apart.” And now it has come to light that Richardson’s godmother, who was the first to tell the...

BYU says it found no evidence of racial heckling during a women's volleyball match against Duke last month after what the school called an "extensive review" of the incident. Duke
volleyball player Rachel Richardson, who is Black, alleged that she repeatedly heard a racial slur directed at her during the Aug. 26 match from someone sitting in BYU's student section. Richardson's godmother also said the player was called a racial slur "every time she served." BYU banned a fan from all its athletic events shortly after Richardson's allegations but has lifted the ban following its investigation, which the school says...

Presidents of prestigious universities often make outrageous decisions inconsistent with such bedrock values as freedom of expression and providing the accused with traditional American due process. The
shameful manner in which Princeton University fired Joshua Katz, a distinguished scholar and winner of several teaching awards, leads me to consider Christopher Eisgruber to be the worst Ivy League president, eclipsing even the earlier shenanigans of Yale’s Peter Salovey. Princeton’s invidious ousting of Katz is objectionable on at least six grounds: For those unfamiliar with the case, Prof. Katz was fired over alleged improprieties related to an offense—having consensual sexual relations with...

Prince William told the Queen and Prince Charles that he would pull out of today's Order of the Garter ceremony if his uncle Prince Andrew was given a public role, it was claimed today. The
Duke of Cambridge's alleged ultimatum to his grandmother and father reportedly led to the Duke of York being banned from the Windsor Castle event amid fears the crowds might boo him.
