Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michiganian who became the face of American tyranny when she famously cracked down on seed purchases at Home Depot-type stores during the blooming stages of the coronavirus, had this to say about vaccine mandates: “I know if that mandate happens, we’re going to lose state employees” and “that’s why I haven’t proposed a mandate at the state level” and “we’re waiting to see what happens in court.” A Democrat who’s actually taking a cue from courts and citizens’ backlash and slowing roll on a dictate?(Snip)You know you’re losing the battle to subdue civil rights when a tyrant like Gov. Gretchen Whitmer starts getting queasy

New York—The CEOs of Target (TGT), Best Buy (BBY), Nordstrom (JWN), Home Depot (HD) and CVS (CVS) are among a group of 20 retail leaders who sent a letter Thursday to Congress expressing their concern over a recent wave of brazen store robberies in major US cities and urged lawmakers to take action. The group called on Congress to pass legislation that would deter criminals from being able to easily resell stolen merchandise, specifically online. "As millions of Americans have undoubtedly seen on the news in recent weeks and months, retail establishments of all kinds have seen a significant uptick in organized crime in communities across the nation,"
Unvaccinated Austrians could soon face thousands in fines for flouting the COVID-19 vaccine mandate slated for February for all residents 14 and older. The Austrian government on Nov. 19 announced its plans to enforce a general vaccine mandate beginning Feb. 1. The country currently boasts a roughly 68% vaccination rate, which is low for Western Europe. The move will be the first such mandate for any European country. Those who are neither vaccinated nor exempted could face a 3,600-euro (about $4,000) fine, an amount which could be altered based on the individual’s income and other financial obligations. “We still have an obligation and a need to increase vaccination coverage
A Fort Bragg soldier will be deported after she pleaded guilty to one count of visa fraud for faking her marriage to a United States citizen in order to get a green card, federal officials announced.
Maryam Movsum Hasanova, 35, originally from Azerbaijan, entered the US as an exchange visitor, however that status expired in March 2014, federal prosecutors said. In early 2015, she met a US citizen, identified only as S.V.M. in court documents, who agreed to the sham marriage to Hasanova in exchange for $15,000. The two were married in New York in October 2015. Hasanova and her new fake hubby submitted paperwork to the United States Citizenship
Fourteen Senate Republicans crossed-party lines on Thursday to advance legislation creating a one-time filibuster carveout so Democrats can unilaterally raise the nation’s borrowing limit.
Led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the 14 Republicans voted alongside all 50 Senate Democrats to end debate on the topic. The move sets up the legislation to be passed later on Thursday by a simple majority within the Senate.
GOP lawmakers said the one-time carveout is a win because it pushes Democrats into raising the debt limit, a cap on how much the government can borrow to pay for federal expenditures, on their own.
“The whole country understands that Democrats own this
Amtrak’s president admitted to Congress Thursday that its travelers will face service cuts and delays this winter as a consequence of President Biden‘s national vaccine mandate. Stephen Gardner told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that Amtrak will reduce the number of trains traveling long distances once the mandate goes into effect. “As part of addressing the challenges presented by COVID-19, Amtrak must comply with the federal mandate effective January 4, 2022, that employees of government contractors be fully vaccinated,” Mr. Gardner said. “However … we anticipate that we will not initially have enough employees to operate all the trains we are currently operating when the federal mandate takes effect.”
The ability of the COVID-19 vaccines to prevent severe illness and hospitalization wanes over time, a CDC study finds. Researchers at the agency found that the effectiveness of severe illness prevention drops from as high as 89 percent to as low as 75 percent 120 days after the second shot of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is received. The data was gathered by the agency from February to September, though, meaning the Omicron variant had not yet been discovered at the time. Still, the CDC researchers say that these data show the need for Covid booster shots, especially among people who are more vulnerable to the virus.

Pfizer CEO says fourth Covid vaccine doses

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.
Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.(Snip)Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed
Maine has activated its national guard to assist hospitals across the state deal with a recent Covid surge, as the Northeast U.S. gets slammed by a surge in Covid cases. The move was announced by Gov Janet Mills on Wednesday as hospitalizations in her state have increased by nearly 20 percent in the past two weeks. Interestingly, states in the Northeast suffering from Covid surges are also leading the nation in vaccination rate.(Snip)Vermont is the most vaccinated state in America, but still logged a record high in Covid hospitalizations on Wednesday. State officials recorded 92 hospitalizations, including 28 people in intensive care, on December 8.
A 71-year old Chicago man was executed a block from his Chinatown home in a suspected random attack on his way to buy a newspaper Tuesday afternoon. Dramatic footage reveals the moment Woom Sing Tse, a retired restaurateur, was walking by the Haines Elementary School, in Chinatown, when a silver two-door car slows by him.

A Northern Virginia public library removed a holiday-themed display this week that featured the Bible alongside two sexually-explicit books at the center of a furious debate between area school officials and parents who see the material as inappropriate for children. The glass-enclosed display at McLean’s Dolley Madison Public Library included a copy of the Bible as well as copies of “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison and “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe—two books available to students in the Fairfax County Public Schools that have created a furor with their graphic depictions of fellatio and other sexual acts among children, including an image that shows a man
Boris Johnson today hinted coronavirus jabs could eventually be made compulsory or Covid passes could be rolled out in wider society if a 'substantial proportion of the population' remains unvaccinated.
The Prime Minister announced the Government is now triggering its Plan B to reimpose work from home guidance, make masks compulsory in more indoor settings and require people to show a Covid pass to go to nightclubs.(Snip)But Mr Johnson said a 'national conversation' is likely to be needed in the future on how the nation will live with the virus. He said he does not believe the Government can 'keep going indefinitely with non-pharmaceutical interventions'

The definition of fully vaccinated in the United States will be changed, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday.
“It’s going to be a matter of when, not if,” Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during an appearance on CNN.
Fully vaccinated at present refers to a person receiving two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.
DAVIS, Calif. — Banana peels, chicken bones and leftover veggies won't have a place in California trashcans under the nation's largest mandatory residential food waste recycling program that's set to take effect in January. The effort is designed to keep landfills in the most populous U.S. state clear of food waste that damages the atmosphere as it decays. When food scraps and other organic materials break down they emit methane, a greenhouse gas more potent and damaging in the short-term than carbon emissions from fossil fuels. To avoid those emissions, California plans to start converting residents' food waste into compost or
Hillary Clinton needs to move on

Hillary Clinton lost, and now she needs to move on from the 2016 election.
I’m not trying to be cruel or twist the knife. I mean this with all sincerity. She just needs to move on for her own good. The constant reliving of her failed campaign against former President Donald Trump is unhealthy.
She’s clearly still upset about it. She’s clearly still angry. But she’ll never recover from her defeat so long as she continues to wallow in it, relentlessly poring over every excruciating detail. She’ll certainly never recover if she continues in both word and deed to define herself by her failed campaign.

phasing out D, F grades for high school students 33 replies
Some of California's largest school districts are trying an unconventional tactic to help students re-engage in school after distance learning and boost their chances of acceptance into the state's public colleges: by dropping D and F grades. Los Angeles Unified [snip] and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students. The idea is to encourage students to learn the course material and not be derailed by a low grade that could potentially disqualify them from admission to the University of California and California State University.
Hilaria Baldwin recently claimed on social media that her husband, Alec Baldwin, has been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for years.
The mother-of-six spoke candidly on her Instagram Stories about social media trolls, tabloids, paparazzi, and how she's trying to speak her truth.
"We oftentimes have people creating news stories about us. My husband is suffering from PTSD right now. It's not from what just happened recently, but he's been suffering from this for a very very very long time," she said on her Stories.
Should people be punted from parties if their pigment is paltry?
Such a question’s currently being publicly posed at a private liberal arts school in Pennsylvania.
A December 2nd op-ed at Swarthmore College boasts a titillating title: “Should We Be Kicking White People Out of Parties?”
Writer Sameer Halepoto notes that Caucasians are crowding soirees.
And when whites are out and about, others are put out:
Hosted by the Swarthmore Queer Union (SQU), Swarthmore African Student Association (SASA), Swarthmore ENLACE, and the Swarthmore African-American Student Society (SASS), the party at Paces the Saturday before Thanksgiving welcomed diversity more than most.
Three senior White House officials have embarked on a campaign to persuade newsroom executives to be more favorable in their coverage of President Joe Biden, according to a report on Tuesday night.The trio - National Economic Council Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari - have been 'briefing major newsrooms over the past week,' according to CNN's media correspondent, Oliver Darcy. Darcy, in his newsletter, said that their outreach was sparked by concern that Biden was not being treated fairly.
They were trying to embellish their lovely lady humps. More than 40 camels were booted from a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant after getting administered Botox, hormones and other appearance enhancing techniques. This marks the biggest crackdown in the contest’s history. “The club is keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” the Saudi Press Agency said of the dromedary disqualification which occurred at the annual Abdulaziz Camel Festival, near Riyadh, where breeders compete for some nearly $66 million in prize money, the Washington Post reported. The camels themselves are judged on the shape of their heads, necks, humps, dress and postures

Ashli Babbitt, a Trump-supporting US veteran, was gunned down in cold blood inside the US Capitol. She was unarmed and posed no threat to the police or anyone. There were several police officers surrounding her when she was shot dead without warning. Her killer Lt. Mike Byrd then fled down the hall after he shot her dead without warning.
Yes, Joe Biden is far and away the worst president in the history of the United States. However, the four-year Trump interlude between Obama and Biden gave the U.S. at least a little resiliency to stand against Biden’s hard-left administration. Imagine how much worse things would have been if Hillary had immediately stepped into Obama’s shoes. America wouldn’t have stood a chance. And lest you forget just what a horrible human being Hillary was, she just gave us a reminder as she spoke with Today’s Willie Geist about her decision to read her “victory speech” aloud for a MasterClass.
