New ‘mu’ COVID variant now found in
49 U.S. states
Posted By: Ribicon, 9/7/2021 11:04:00 AM
Since being discovered in Colombia in January, the mu variant of COVID-19 has spread to nearly four dozen countries and has made its presence known in Hawaii and Alaska. It has so far been found in 49 states with Nebraska being the only state to not have a mu variant case detected. Health officials believe mu is even more transmissible than the delta variant and has the potential to resist vaccines.(Snip)“This is what makes getting vaccinated and layering protections so important. These are actions that break the chain of transmission and limits COVID-19 proliferation that allows for the virus to mutate into something

Former President Trump delivered a double barreled blast on Wednesday, condemning the 'desecration' of a monument to Robert E. Lee and claiming the Confederate general would have led troops to victory in Afghanistan. He delivered his verdict after America's largest Confederate statue—the 12-ton bronze monument Lee in Richmond, Virginia—was removed from its pedestal.
'Black Lives Matter' supporters chanted and sang 'Na Na Hey Hey' as it was winched away. 'Our culture is being destroyed and our history and heritage, both good and bad, are being extinguished by the radical left, and we can’t let that happen,' said Trump in an emailed statement.
St. Paul's Hmong Cultural Center was vandalized early Wednesday, weeks before its museum was set to open to the public. Director of Programs Mark Pfeifer found the University Avenue building drenched in white paint when he arrived at work Wednesday morning. Stenciled over the paint was "Life, Liberty, Victory," a phrase associated with a white nationalist hate group.(Snip)"I mean, it was shocking." Vandals spray painted over Black artwork on plywood boards that have protected the Cultural Center since its windows were broken during last summer's unrest after George Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis police officer. The tattoo parlor next door caught much of the incident on camera
Denmark has proposed making migrants work 37 hours a week to earn welfare benefits because 'there are too many, especially with non-Western backgrounds, who do not have a job'. The proposal by the minority Social Democratic government, a traditionally left wing administration that has adopted right wing anti-immigration policies, would require migrants who have been on benefits for at least three years to find work. It said the programme was necessary because many women of foreign descent do not work, especially those with roots in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey.(Snip)The programme would start with those who are able to speak some Danish
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded grants to five universities to study whether or not there is a link between having abnormal periods and the COVID-19 vaccine. In the U.S., there have been thousands of accounts of women who have gotten vaccinated against the virus and later had periods that came earlier usual, felt heavier or just appeared irregular. And a report from The Sunday Times in June found that 4,000 women in the UK had temporary changes in their menstrual cycles after getting vaccinated.(Snip)The five studies will likely recruit between 400,000 and 500,000 participants, including adolescents, transgender women and nonbinary people,
President Biden is firing all military academy board members who were appointed by former President Donald Trump—regardless of their qualifications—in a purge that’s drawing stiff pushback because their terms were supposed to last three years. Six presidential appointees on each academy board—18 people in total—were told to resign by 6 p.m. Wednesday or be fired. “I think this complete purge shows that the administration is hellbent on the woke mob controlling or having input into military education. Otherwise, why do it?” said one of the board members, who pointed out that Trump didn’t perform a similar purge.(Snip)‘Unprecedented’ is a word you could use here,”
President Joe Biden marked a belated labor day at the White House Wednesday by speaking about how intimately he knew unions. 'By the way, of course, I sleep with a NEA member every night,' Biden told a crowd gathered in the East Room. 'Same one. same one,' he added as attendees applauded. As a teacher, first lady Jill Biden belongs to the National Education Association labor union. 'Jill had her first day of full time teaching yesterday—this year, back to school,' Biden also added.(Snip)Besides his cringe-worthy comment about Dr. Biden, the president leaned into the microphone at one point and, again, spoke in a whisper briefly
Charlotte, N.C.–Police said a deadly overnight shooting in northwest Charlotte that killed a young child appears to be tied to other recent shootings in the area. Susie Whitley, the child’s great-grandmother, said 3-year-old Asiah Fiqueroia was the victim in Tuesday night’s deadly shooting. “This should outrage everyone who hears this,” CMPD Capt. Joel McNelly said. “These incidents that are taking place that result in the loss of a 3-year-old, it is because someone’s not willing to tell us how to do better, how to stop it,” Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said.(Snip)Several suspects fired nearly 150 rounds into the home.
People who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 seem to be getting infected with alarming frequency, including Georgia Bulldog football players and people on social media, and that is driving talk of booster shots before waning protection against the coronavirus grows into a crisis that fills hospitals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it knows of 12,908 hospitalizations or deaths among the 173 million people who had been fully vaccinated as of Aug. 30, though it hasn’t been closely tracking mild or asymptomatic instances of “breakthrough infections.” Local health departments are trying to fill that gap and say the odds are still vastly in favor of people
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for her use of the term “menstruating persons” as she lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over his new six-week abortion ban. The far-left New York congresswoman called Abbott “deeply ignorant” on Tuesday over the Lone Star State’s new law that prohibits almost all abortions after the six-week mark—including pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest. “I don’t know if he is familiar with a menstruating person’s body. In fact, I do know that he’s not familiar with a female or menstruating person’s body because if he did, he would know that you don’t have six weeks
The heads of the nation’s major pharmaceutical companies on Wednesday warned that Democrats’ plan to let Medicare set drug prices would push some of them out of business. The warning upped the stakes in the industry’s fight against the drug-pricing measure in President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social welfare bill, which they previously argued would hamper drugmakers’ ability to create new cures. “It’s going to wipe off the face of the earth some pharmaceutical companies that are household names,” David Ricks, CEO of Eli Lilly and Company and chairman of the industry’s lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), said in a call with reporters.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said on Tuesday that the city of Tucson‘s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for public employees violates state law and the governor’s executive order. The city must either revoke or amend the ordinance to align with state law or risk losing millions in state funding, the attorney general’s office said in a statement. “Tucson‘s vaccine mandate is illegal, and the city could be held liable for attempting to force employees to take it against their beliefs,” said Mr. Brnovich, a Republican. “COVID-19 vaccinations should be a choice, not a government mandate.” Arizona lawmakers passed a law during this year’s legislative session that prohibits city governments
The mother of one of the Marines killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan has invited Donald Trump to attend the funeral, snubbing President Joe Biden after slamming him as responsible for the deaths of US troops. Shana Chappell, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, invited Trump to attend his funeral in a Facebook post, writing: 'It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America, President Trump. I love you and America loves you.'(Snip)Chappell has been vocal in blaming Biden for the 13 troops killed during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, writing in another Facebook post:

Another Failed Presidency at Hand

This Sept. 11, a diminished president will preside over a diminished nation. [Snip] Joe Biden was supposed to be the man of the hour: a calming presence exuding decency, moderation and trust. As a candidate, he sold himself as a transitional president, a fatherly figure in the mold of George H.W. Bush who would restore dignity and prudence to the Oval Office after the mendacity and chaos that came before. It’s why I voted for him, as did so many others who once tipped red. Instead, Biden has become the emblem of the hour: headstrong but shaky, ambitious but inept.
Perhaps, at long last, the deadly reign of Anthony Fauci will come to an end. That’s because The Intercept, a hard-left publication, has revealed 900 pages of government documents definitively proving that Fauci used his position to fund gain-of-function research into bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (“WIV”)—and then lied to Congress about it.
Since February 2020, the wizened Fauci has been the face of the government’s response to the pandemic. In the ensuing 20 months, Fauci was frequently wrong, incredibly arrogant, and deeply dishonest. Because he was the anti-Trump, though, we were stuck with him.
Four out of five Guantanamo detainees whom former President Barack Obama released in exchange for former U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 now hold senior positions in the interim government created by the Taliban in Afghanistan.According to the Afghan television network TOLOnews, the Taliban-formed government gave leadership positions to Khairullah Khairkhwa, Norullah Noori, Abdul Haq Wasiq, and Mohammad Fazl; all of whom were released in a 2014 deal between the Obama administration and the Taliban to free Bergdahl, whom the Taliban had held as a prisoner since 2009.
Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is in danger of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church for her continuous support of the murder of unborn children.Over the weekend, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who just so happens to be the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese in San Francisco, California, wrote an essay in the Washington Post, announcing that excommunication is a potential action to take against self-proclaimed Catholic Democrat leaders who support abortion.In his piece, Cordileone urged Catholic politicians to oppose abortion, saying that “[y]ou cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.”
WASHINGTON — In the hours before Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, 20, was killed by a terrorist’s bomb in Afghanistan, he posed for a photograph taken by a bunkmate. In the image, the Marine’s brow was furrowed. He flashed a peace sign. (Snip) But Mark Schmitz was confused by what happened next: Biden turned the conversation to his oldest son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. Referring to him has become a reliable constant of Biden’s presidency. In speeches, Oval Office discussions and personal asides, Biden tends to find a common thread back to his son, no matter the
President Joe Biden celebrated Labor Day by delivering deli sandwiches to union workers in his home state of Delaware.According to the Associated Press, the president visited an event orchestrated by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 313 in New Castle, Delaware, where he served sandwiches from Capriotti’s, a Delaware restaurant chain founded in 1976.“He shook hands and chatted with the group of mostly men, who were clad in jeans and union T-shirts,” reported the AP. “Biden spent several minutes chatting with the union members in groups before telling them, ‘C’mon, let’s go get something to eat.'”
Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff definitely got everyone’s attention when she stepped out in little more than a bra and jeans while in New York City. (Photos) The 22-year-old model wowed in a white bra, pair of black jeans and an unbuttoned white shirt outside Christian Siriano Fashion Show in New York. The photos were shared by Splash News and posted on the outlet Tuesday. (Photos) She completed the jaw dropping look with loose hair, a yellow purse and white high-heeled half boots.
Physicians spreading medical misinformation, particularly about COVID, “are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards” due to their “high degree of public trust” and their “powerful platform in society.” One could say this applies more so to the president of the United States, the CDC director, and to major newspapers and media organizations (snip) A popular catchphrase this past summer is that COVID is, “a pandemic among the unvaccinated.” (snip) By simply perusing the news, one can draw a far different conclusion, that we are instead seeing a “pandemic of the vaccinated.”
WSJ: Men appear to be giving up on college

There’s an interesting story in the Wall Street Journal today about the declining enrollment of men in 2 and 4-year colleges. This gender enrollment disparity is a trend that has been happening for a while now, but at this point the divergence between men and women is becoming pretty dramatic.
At the close of the 2020-21 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students, an all-time high, and men 40.5%, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of enrollment data from the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit research group. U.S. colleges and universities had 1.5 million fewer students compared with five years ago, and men
The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.
Less than one week after the United States completed its full troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Sen. Lindsey Graham said the US will “have to” re-enter the war-torn country in an interview with BBC that aired worldwide on Monday. “Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it’s Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault, here’s where we’re at as the world: The Taliban are not reformed, they’re not new,” said Graham (R-SC). “They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. They’re going to impose a lifestyle on the Afghan people that I think is going to make us all sick to our stomach.

The experience in Israel, which is going for a fourth round of shots despite being the most highly vaccinated nation in the world, and that does not have massive influxes of infected Migrants as we do, indicates that the vaccine itself is causing generations of variants. The endless stream of variants also serves as a media-friendly excuse for why the shot does not work as advertised, and yet the press for compulsory vaccination continues.
