The terror attack on New York City's West-Side bike path has President Trump calling for congress to eliminate the "Diversity Visa" program.Congress created it in 1990. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush.Among the San Diegans who are here because of the visa program is Anna Riazanova.In 1993, Riazanova, a native of Russia, entered the U.S. on a student visa and began studying to become a paralegal."I fell in love with the country, the people," said Riazanova.A year later, she applied for the Diversity Visa Lottery program, aimed at diversifying immigration by randomly selecting 50,000 green card applicants every year from countries with historically low U.S. immigration rates. 709

The Southeastern Conference is considering barring league championship events in Mississippi unless the state changes its Confederate-based flag.¡°It is past time for change to be made to the flag of the State of Mississippi,¡± Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement Thursday. ¡°Our students deserve an opportunity to learn and compete in environments that are inclusive and welcoming to all. In the event there is no change, there will be consideration of precluding Southeastern Conference championship events from being conducted in the State of Mississippi until the flag is changed.¡±The NCAA has already said it would not schedule postseason events in Mississippi because of the state flag.National protests about racial injustice have renewed debate about Confederate symbols. Mississippi has the last state flag that includes the battle emblem: a red field topped by a blue X with 13 white stars. White supremacists put the symbol on the flag in 1894 during the backlash to black political power that developed during Reconstruction.During a Black Lives Matter protest June 5 outside the Mississippi Governor¡¯s Mansion in downtown Jackson, thousands of people cheered as an 18-year-old organizer, Maisie Brown, called for the removal of all Confederate symbols in the state, including from the flag.Bipartisan coalitions of state lawmakers have been trying to build momentum to change the flag, but Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has said repeatedly that if the banner is to be redesigned, it should be done by the state¡¯s voters.People who voted in a 2001 election chose to keep the flag rather that replace it with a design that did not include the Confederate emblem.All of Mississippi¡¯s public universities and several cities and counties have stopped flying the state flag in recent years because of the emblem. The state has two SEC schools ¡ª the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University.Leaders at both universities said Thursday that the state should change the flag.¡°Mississippi needs a flag that represents the qualities about our state that unite us, not those that still divide us,¡± Ole Miss Chancellor Glenn Boyce and athletic director Keith Carter said in a joint statement. ¡°We support the SEC¡¯s position for changing the Mississippi state flag to an image that is more welcoming and inclusive for all people.¡±Mississippi State President Mark E. Keenum said in a statement that he respects Sankey¡¯s position. Keenum said he wrote to state elected officials June 12 telling them that the university¡¯s students, faculty and administrators have been on record in favor of changing the flag since 2015.¡°The letter said, in part, that our flag should be unifying, not a symbol that divides us,¡± Keenum said. ¡°I emphasized that it is time for a renewed, respectful debate on this issue.¡± 2829

The Sinclair Broadcast Group acquisition of Tribune Media is dead.Tribune said in a statement Thursday that it has terminated its merger agreement with Sinclair, scuttling a .9 billion deal that would have given the broadcasting group an even broader reach into American living rooms.The breakup of the deal is a stinging defeat for Sinclair, owner of dozens of local television stations. Sinclair has been scrutinized for its ties to the Trump administration.Tribune had been expected to walk away after the deal came under scrutiny from US regulators. The FCC in July referred the merger to an administrative judge hearing, and called into question whether some of Sinclair's proposed divestments were a "sham."Tribune said it will sue Sinclair for breach of contract, arguing Sinclair's negotiations with the US Justice Department and FCC were "unnecessarily aggressive. Sinclair also refused to sell certain stations that would have helped the deal secure regulatory approval, Tribune claims."Our merger cannot be completed within an acceptable timeframe, if ever," said Tribune CEO Peter Kern in a statement.Analysts expect Tribune to seek another buyer.Sinclair did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside business hours. 1259
