The Wall Street holiday party circuit is a usually great place to have some laughs and pick up a few scoops. Not this year. The scoops are fewer than usual, as are the laughs, because COVID was supposed to be over and as we know, it’s not. No, the big story circulating among bankers and traders as they sip their party drink of choice is that we all should party like it’s 1999 because word from their bosses is that seriously protracted lockdowns could soon be coming.(Snip)Treatments like monoclonal antibodies work, and others that are more easily administered are on the way.

Comments:

As Gasparino says, make treatments readily available and let life get back to normal.

FTA: urge President Biden to redirect the trillions already authorized for a real stimulus: Making sure these new treatments are readily available to all Americans so we can just go back to work That's really the key, treat the sick and let the healthy go to work and school in person.

Waukesha, Wis. — For her whole life, 67-year-old Sharon Millard was so shy she used to ask her identical twin sister to go on dates in her place in high school. But ever since Nov. 21, when Darrell Brooks allegedly plowed into dozens of people at the Waukesha Christmas parade, killing six people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring up to 60 others, Millard has felt compelled to speak about the atrocity she witnessed. One of the people killed was Millard’s fellow “Dancing Granny” — 79-year-old Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson (Snip) He drove the car in a “zig-zag motion” so as to “strike and hurt as many people as possible”

Both of them aptly describe Chicago street gang magnate Larry Hoover, whom the rapper will be singing on behalf of Thursday night in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Hillary Clinton was on television Sunday promoting her new political thriller State of Terror—which she admitted is based on her 2016 rival, former President Donald Trump. In her third interview this month, the former first lady accused Trump of 'masterminding' the January 6 Capitol riot and said he was a 'danger' to the country. Her recent media blitz has fueled rumors that Clinton is testing the waters for her own re-election bid after repeatedly calling a potential Trump 2024 ticket a threat to democracy. This morning, CNN host Fareed Zakaria asked about claims her new novel is a 'thinly veiled attack on President Trump.'

If you aren’t white, you may not be able to go way outside. At least, that appears to be the belief of a North Carolina State University professor. KangJae “Jerry” Lee — of the school’s College of Natural Resources — recognizes the racism keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors. Cultural differences, he asserts, can’t explain why there aren’t more black people fishing, hunting, and hiking. Also an insufficient excuse: income disparity. The instructor laments America’s adventure/nature gap, but he’s bulls-eyed the culprit: systemic racism. Wichita’s KAKE recently jawed it up with Jerry on the lack of outdoor equity.

“AstraZeneca uncovers what's triggering blood clots after its jab” reads a recent headline from Mail Online. “Oh, oh, oh!” one feels like exclaiming. So, it is true, after all. After nearly one year of stonewalling and denials, they officially admit that the Covid vaccines can, in fact, cause blood clots. This will undoubtedly come as a great shock to those who believe the mainstream media narratives where all talk of vaccine injury has been hitherto dismissed as “misinformation” by those right wing anti-vaxxers. (snip) After all, scientists and public health officials have always reassured us that these vaccines are “completely safe and effective.”

My name is Brandon. Brandon Brown, to be specific. Yes, that Brandon. I am Brandon, the NASCAR driver and unlikely meme.

On October 2, I won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega—my first major win. It was a hell of a moment for me, my family, my team and my sponsors.

The fact that the FBI has lost its way has been on public display for at least five years now. Truth be told, it probably strayed off course way before that. But during the Trump Presidency, it became too obvious to ignore. It has been involved in everything from the creation of an “insurance policy” against the peaceful transition of power, to the targeting of parents as domestic terrorists for the sin of disagreeing with school boards. How did our “premier law enforcement agency” stray so far from its motto of fidelity, bravery, and integrity? Simply put, the FBI’s current state is the result of horrible leadership.
