Waylan Niece resigned from the Volusia County Affordable Housing Committee after posting "8647" on Facebook. Republicans interpret the numbers 8647 as a threat against President Trump, while Niece claims it showed support for James Comey, who made a similar anti-Trump post. Niece is on administrative leave from his job pending an investigation. Waylan Niece, the DeLand social-services administrator facing scrutiny over a recent Facebook post, has resigned from the Volusia County Affordable Housing Committee. Volusia County Councilman Jake Johansson said Niece left the panel on May 20, several days after posting "8647," a message local Republicans took as a threat against the life of President Donald Trump. Niece has called that reaction "ludicrous," and said it was intended as a show of support for former FBI Director James Comey. On May 15, Comey made a similar Instagram post and was then accused by Republicans of encouraging Trump's assassination. The president himself concurred with that interpretation and opined that Comey is a "dirty cop." Federal law enforcement officials are investigating Comey,  » Read More

Two posts on Facebook falsely claim that Amazon is offering very cheap iPhones to people over 50 who follow a link to check their eligibility. In fact, Amazon UK has confirmed with us that the offer is not genuine. The link leads to a page that appears to be a laptop review, and which is not part of the official Amazon website. The posts feature different pictures that each appear to show a woman standing next to a large stack of packaged iPhones. The caption on the image says: “Amazon is donating iPhone 15 Pro units that have been in stock for over a year to people over fifty – for just £2.95! “They launched this initiative to clear out excess inventory and show support for the senior community in the UK. “Click below to check if you’re eligible to receive an iPhone”. A link on the bottom of the post is labelled: “www.amazon.co.uk” with a message saying “Iphone 15 Pro for people over fifty just for 2.95 euros!  » Read More

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The Mobile Arts Council posted on its Facebook page a statement about its future, and the National Endowment for the Arts halting numerous grants across the country. Here is the post: Hello people who benefit from the arts (everyone), As many have heard, the National Endowment for the Arts has halted numerous grants across the country. Since 1965, the NEA has been a reliable pillar for the arts in America. In this unprecedented moment, we at Mobile Arts Council—an arts advocate in Mobile for nearly 70 years—want to share our voice.

In 2023, arts and cultural production contributed: $1.2 trillion to the U.S.  » Read More
