Civil rights icon and veteran Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., declared Sunday there is “no doubt” President Donald Trump is a racist, condemning his admonition to four minority congresswomen to “go back” to their countries. In a stunning rebuke on ABC News’ “This Week,” Cummings said Trump’s week-long twitter attack on Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashid Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts brought up “very very painful” memories of racism he faced in the 1960s.

So how hot did it get over the weekend? The National Weather Service in Nebraska demonstrated the effects of the brutal heat by trying to bake biscuits using nothing but a car and the sun….with the heat index reaching 103 degrees. The biscuit dough was placed on a cookie sheet inside an enclosed vehicle on Thursday morning along with a thermometer. The biscuits usually take about 14 to 17 minutes in 350-degree heat to bake. Inside the car under the sun, the pan reached 185 degrees in 60 minutes. About eight hours later, the Omaha National Weather Service posted that the otuside of the biscuit was actually edible. The middle was still pretty doughy though.

Joe Biden, a former U.S. vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, compared Republican President Donald Trump on Friday to the late George Wallace, a prominent supporter of racial segregation. Biden, in California for a two-day swing to campaign and fundraise, told a gathering that Trump is “more George Wallace than George Washington.” Wallace, remembered for his white supremacist views, served as Alabama’s governor for 20 years, beginning in 1967, and unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination several times. His 1972 presidential bid ended when he was shot, but he survived. Wallace died in 1998. Biden’s comment came days after Trump said in a tweet that four U.S. congresswomen of color “should go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

A friend dared him to do it. That’s what police say a 24-year-old central Pennsylvania man told them after he was arrested on the field at PNC Park during the Pirates game Sunday. Police say officers working the game responded to a fan walking onto the field at about 3:40 p.m. Police said it was during the top of the 6th inning when he casually walked toward home plate and put his hand out looking for someone to shake it. Police officers intervened, walking the man off the field and handcuffing him in front of the Philadelphia Phillies dugout. The man, according to police, told officers a friend dared him to pull the stunt. Police say he faces charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct.

READING, Pa. (AP) — The mayor of the eastern Pennsylvania city of Reading has reversed course and says he will allow the LGBTQ rainbow flag to fly over City Hall for the first time. Mayor Wally Scott last week called off a scheduled ceremony to raise the “pride flag,” calling it a political symbol.

I just asked them to keep the politics out of it.”

A zoo worker at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort was attacked by a bear while guiding a routine safari tour Saturday morning, officials from Nemacolin confirmed. Officials say a Himalayan bear reached through a wire fence, pulled the woman closer and bit her arm. The worker was in between two layers of fencing at the bear enclosure when the incident occurred. She was flown by medical helicopter to an area trauma center at a local hospital. A spokesperson from West Virginia University Medical Center confirmed that the woman, whose name is not being released, is now in critical condition at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. Nemacolin has ensured the bear enclosure is completely secure and is arranging optional counseling for guests and staff who witnessed the incident, officials said in a press release.

An angry father is accused of shooting his teenage daughter’s boyfriend. According to police, it all began when 41-year-old Michael Dbagio drove to the 17-year-old Darren Jevcak’s job at Scusties Pizza in New Castle to confront him. Then police say Dbagio had a gun and started using it the minute he saw the teenager. According to the criminal complaint, Dbagio shot Jevcak five or six times. When Jevcak came outside, Dbagio shot him in the arm. The teenager went down to the ground and the man then went over and shot him in the head. His reason was that Jevcak appeared to be in shock and he “wanted to put him out of his misery.” When police arrived, he surrendered peacefully and is currently in the Lawrence County Jail, charged with criminal homicide.
