Joseph Kitchen Maryland, Kitchen Found Dead Following Disappearance (Reports).

Maryland's Young Democrats of America President Joseph Kitchen was found dead in Washington, D.C. on Sunday after his family and friends reported him missing from the Maryland area. 

Prince George's County police confirmed Kitchen's death one day after asking and receiving help from the public to locate him, reports CBS News. The announcement comes more than a week after his disappearance was first reported.

The Young Democrats of America Twitter account has since shared a statement reflecting on the 34-year-old’s contribution to the organization. “We are saddened to learn of the tragic and untimely passing of Joseph Kitchen,” the message read.

“Joseph always pushed YDA to live up to its values and was someone who was not satisfied with accepting the status quo. His passion will be deeply missed.”


The Young Democrats of America are described as a youth-led group dedicated to advocating for progressive issues, electing Democrats, and training the next generation of progressive leaders.

In a statement, Maryland Del. Jazz Lewis said, “In everything Joseph did, he advocated for young people. He was fearless in calling out local, state, federal, and even party leadership if he felt young people weren’t given a fair hand.”

NBC-4 in Washington reports that Kitchen was last seen in person at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis on Aug. 8, and on via a Zoom meeting with colleagues the following Tuesday.

At the time of his disappearance, Kitchen’s brother noticed something was wrong after he went silent on social media and his phone went straight to voicemail.

UK debt 2 trillion, UK government spending on virus measures pushes. UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year,  said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists warned the situation would worsen before improving. Where do governments borrow money? It is the first time debt has been above 100% of gross domestic product (GDP) since the 1960-61 financial year, the ONS said. The July borrowing figure - the difference between spending and tax income - was £26.7bn, down from a revised £29.5bn in June. It was the fourth highest borrowing in any month since records began in 1993. The three higher figures were the previous three months. Those are big figures. What do they mean? Ruth Gregory, s...

Fredie Blom oldest man, who survived 1918 Spanish Flu, dies at 116

 Fredie Blom oldest man, who survived 1918 Spanish Flu, dies at 116. A South African who was thought to be the oldest man in the world has died at the age of 116. Fredie Blom's identity documents showed he was born in Eastern Cape province in May 1904, although that was never verified by Guinness World Records. When he was teenager, his entire family was wiped out by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. He went on to survive two world wars and apartheid. Mr Blom told the BBC in 2018 that  there was no special secret to his longevity . "There's only one thing - it's the man above [God]. He's got all the power. I have nothing. I can drop over any time but He holds me," he said. Mr Blom spent most of his life as a labourer - first on a farm and then in the construction industry - and only retired when he was in his 80s. Although he gave up drinking many years ago, he was a regular smoker. However, a coronavirus-related lockdown imposed by the South African govern...

Finger lickin' good coronavirus KFC, that's probably not the best idea right now

  Finger lickin' good coronavirus KFC, that's probably not the best idea right now. Kentucky Fried Chicken  has decided to pause using its "finger lickin' good" slogan because ... well, that's probably not the best idea right now. Several months after health officials recommended everyone stop touching their faces to help stop the spread of  coronavirus , KFC said Monday that the 64-year-old slogan "doesn't feel quite right." "We find ourselves in a unique situation — having an iconic slogan that doesn't quite fit in the current environment," said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, global chief marketing officer at KFC in a statement. The menu isn't changing and the company said the slogan will return when the "time is right." To be clear, Monday's announcement is a marketing campaign. A clever one, perhaps, with good intentions baked into it ... but a marketing campaign nonetheless. KFC blurred out the slogan featured on ol...
