As critics call for CNN prime-time host Chris Cuomo to face consequences for moonlighting as an adviser to his governor brother over sexual harassment claims, the network’s sizable stable of female talent has so far kept quiet about their colleague’s role in the political and media scandal of the year.An analysis of show transcripts by Fox News Thursday found that none of CNN’s female anchors or on-air contributors had raised the “Cuomo Prime Time” host’s ethically dubious actions outlined in a bombshell report released Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
NEW YORK CITY—Just as New York City restaurateurs thought they would perhaps see their way out of crushing COVID-19 restrictions and back to “normalcy,” the city’s government dealt out another blow: Restaurants will now have to check customers for proof of vaccination, or themselves face fines.
In response, restaurant owners seem to have flocked to one of two positions. Some support the rule as long as it prevents more lockdowns, while others reject it as an unreasonable imposition on their already vulnerable operations.
Restaurants have been among the hardest hit by the lockdown imposed in response to the pandemic of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19. New York City

The Biden administration’s strategy to universally vaccinate in the middle of the pandemic is bad science and badly needs a reboot.
This strategy will likely prolong the most dangerous phase of the worst pandemic since 1918 and almost assuredly cause more harm than good – even as it undermines faith in the entire public health system.Four flawed assumptions drive the Biden strategy. The first is that universal vaccination can eradicate the virus and secure economic recovery by achieving herd immunity throughout the country (and the world). However, the virus is now so deeply embedded in the world population that, unlike polio and smallpox, eradication is unachievable. SARS-CoV-2 and its myriad

Dozens of FBI employees contacted journalists who reported on classified information before the 2016 presidential election, according to a new report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, but the investigative office doesn’t know if the FBI agents leaked the information to them. In a report released Thursday, Inspector General Michael E.

The White House confirmed Thursday it is considering requiring foreign visitors to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for international travel.
Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, told reporters on Thursday that several federal agencies are examining the possibility of issuing such a mandate.
“We will be ready when it is the right time to consider reopening,” Zients said at a White House COVID-19 briefing. He appeared to confirm anonymously sourced reports that administration officials will have to present proof they’re vaccinated against the virus. There is still no timetable on when the United States will resume international travel to certain countries,
While Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have worked in concert over the last few weeks to blame rising coronavirus case numbers in Florida and Texas on Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott respectively, both Governors have been pushing back on their critics, with Abbott correctly pointing out that Biden’s open borders policies are allowing COVID-positive migrants in by the thousands and DeSantis making similar arguments while vowing to fight against federal overreach when it comes to pressure to implement mask and vaccine mandates.But because DeSantis is being floated as a possible 2024 presidential contender, is an unapologetic conservative who is very popular
If there’s one thing Democrats have taught us about AR-15s, it’s that they are the most powerful, deadly weapons of war ever created, assembled by the devil himself. Of course, anyone that knows anything about the platform and the round it shoots knows that’s nonsense, but still, when someone of a leftward persuasion shoots one, hilarity often ensues.That’s what was on tap when Kevin McCallum, writing for Seven Days in Vermont, decided to share his experience shooting an AR-15 at an indoor gun range. To hear him tell it, he basically had an out-of-body experience due to the massive, bone-rattling recoil.

Three CNN employees were fired for going to a company office without being vaccinated, the media firm’s CEO said a memo that was leaked Thursday.

There was a time when parental involvement in our kids’ education was seen as a good thing that all parents should do. We were invited to meet our kids’ teachers and even participated in class once or twice a week. This was all part of making sure our kids obtained the education our tax dollars paid for. The COVID pandemic and the moral panic following George Floyd’s death destroyed all of that. Unionized teachers advocated for closing schools and keeping them closed and started sneaking in critical race theory teachings at every level during online classes.

OBERLIN — Investors bought $80 million in bonds last week to finance Oberlin College’s four-year geothermal energy conversion project.

Results of a new poll out Thursday show California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom deep underwater with little more than a month to go until voters cast their ballots in a statewide referendum.
According to a survey of 1,100 Californians conducted Aug. 2-4, more than half were in favor of Newsom’s firing, while only 40 percent were opposed.
The poll, conducted by Survey USA with the San Diego Union Tribune, illustrated bipartisan support for the recall effort that was also showcased in the petitions drawing about a third of all signatures collected from Democrats and independents. Republicans said they supported Newsom’s removal by an 8:1 margin, while Democrats said the same 3:1.
