It's too soon to determine whether families
can gather for Christmas; 90% vaccination
rate might be needed: Live COVID updates

It's too soon to say whether the pandemic has eased enough for families to gather for Christmas this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday. Fauci, making the Sunday talk show rounds, said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that Americans first need to focus on lowering the number of new infections and hospitalizations. The best way to do that: Vaccination and booster shots, he said. "We've just got to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we're going to do at a particular time," Fauci said.

claiming dorms have roach, mice and mold issues 24 replies
For a second week, students at Howard University are protesting what they call "unlivable" housing conditions, claiming mold, roaches and mice are common inside the dorms on campus. They are pitching sleeping bags and blankets inside the university's social hub, the Armour J. Blackburn University Center, and claiming the university has ignored the issues and failed to take action. (Snip) "A lot of the dorms have their own issues between mold in the dorm and being different infestations of whatever different creatures like rats and roaches in the dorms. Sometimes the dorms don't have heating, sometimes the pipes are bursting
People who've recovered from the coronavirus are experiencing problems with their memory, new research and data reveal. A study, published Friday in medical journal JAMA Network Open, says nearly a quarter of individuals who've been infected with the coronavirus have problems retaining information and focusing months after contracting the disease. Researchers, examining 740 patients at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York, found that it's relatively common for people who've had COVID-19 before to struggle with things like multitasking. "In this study, we found a relatively high frequency of cognitive impairment several months after patients contracted COVID-19. Impairments in
Every Day, Biden Smells Like More of a Loser

With a hint of confusion in his eyes and a whiff of failure in the air around him, Joe Biden is watching his approval ratings continue to plummet to the point where just 42 percent of Americans approve of his job performance. Which makes sense, since at least so far Biden really doesn’t seem very good at this whole being president thing despite dreaming of and preparing for it for decades. With his staff trying to hide him from the press, and his penchant for saying confusing things, Biden isn’t rhetorically equipped to talk himself out of this mess. He
Earlier this month, Jennifer Kappes scheduled her COVID-19 booster at the Walgreens at Meridian and 16th Street. When the geriatric care manager arrived for her appointment, she found the store open, but the pharmacy closed. A sign said the pharmacy had not been open for the past two days, but it should be open at 9 a.m. that day. With 9 a.m. long since past, Kappes gave up and left, eventually going to a Carmel pharmacy for her booster. “I was in shock,” said the Butler-Tarkington resident. “You hear about restaurants and stores and everything else being short-staffed, but it
Bidens flying to Delaware for weekend visit

President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden will fly to Delaware on Friday night for a weekend visit to their home near Greenville. According to the White House schedule, the Bidens will arrive at the National Guard base at New Castle Airport at 8:55 p.m. after departing from the South Lawn of the White House about an hour earlier. Flight restrictions are in place in a portion of Delaware and adjacent areas into Monday. Biden’s visits to Delaware typically come with no public schedule. Instead, the president attends services at St. Joseph on the Brandywine and sometimes gets
A business group representing wholesalers told President Joe Biden that jobs will be lost if he follows through with requiring companies with federal contracts to have their employees vaccinated. Eric Hoplin, president and CEO of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, laid out the case against the mandates and urged the president to back off his edict in a three-page letter. He said that if the contractor rule is implemented, thousands of workers will be laid off and the supply chain problems will grow far worse. “NAW urges that the Executive Order’s implementation be revised to avoid this calamity and provide
Queen Elizabeth, 95, was taken to the hospital on Wednesday for "preliminary investigations" and was released Thursday, Buckingham Palace confirmed. The same day, the queen canceled a trip to Northern Ireland on advice from doctors, the palace said.
"Following medical advice to rest for a few days, The Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits," Buckingham Palace said in statement. The news was first reported by the U.K.'s The Sun newspaper. The queen was seen at an event for global business leaders with Prime Minister
LOS ANGELES - Southern California's Los Angeles and Long Beach ports handle the most ocean cargo of any ports in the United States, but are some of the least efficient in the world, according to a ranking by the World Bank and IHS Markit. In a review of 351 container ports around the globe, Los Angeles was ranked 328, behind Tanzania's Dar es Salaam and Alaska's Dutch Harbor. The adjacent port of Long Beach came in even lower, at 333, behind Turkey's Nemrut Bay and Kenya's Mombasa, the groups said in their inaugural Container Port Performance Index published in May. The
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Gov. Phil Scott is asking residents to take personal responsibility to help reduce a continuing spike in active COVID-19 infections, a surprise given Vermont's position as the nation's most-vaccinated state. Vermont has seen 921 new infections and four new deaths over the last four days. Scott said the cycle of the delta variant of the virus, which arrived later in Vermont than in southern states, may explain part of the stubborn surge in active cases. Scott said he hopes cases wane in a week or two. In the meantime, Scott is again asking residents to get a booster
MONETA, Va. — On a sunny Thursday morning in September, a few dozen high school students gathered for a weekly chapel service at what used to be the Bottom’s Up Bar & Grill and is now the chapel and cafeteria of Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy. Five years ago, the school in southwest Virginia had just 88 students between kindergarten and 12th grade. Its finances were struggling, quality was inconsistent by its own admission, and classes met at a local Baptist church. Now, it has 420, with others turned away for lack of space. It has grown to occupy a
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Parents are demanding answers following allegations that teachers forced middle school students in Colorado Springs to tape masks to their faces. Academy School District 20 has said it will investigate the claims. More than 100 students and staff members are being interviewed about the situation. A picture of a sixth-grader from Chinook Trail Middle School with a mask taped to her face made the rounds on social media over the weekend. The child’s mother said she posted the picture to find out if other parents were aware of a “policy” of taped masks, and whether it
WILMINGTON — With the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach now running 24/7 operations, a new problem has occurred. Many of the shipping containers that spent weeks onboard ships waiting to be unloaded are now being dumped in nearby neighborhoods once they’re emptied. Sonia Cervantes lives along Anaheim Street, where UCTI Trucking Company is located. The company’s lot only has a capacity for 65 containers so the additional containers now line up along Anaheim Street in front of some people’s homes.
“It’s a bunch of neighbors that are very upset because it’s a non-stop situation,” said Cervantes. “I would

The Vice President of the United States spoke yesterday at the brand-new Northeast Bronx YMCA, promoting the so-called infrastructure bill that actually would transform the economy into dependence on unreliable “green” power and the populace into unsustainable financial dependence on borrowed money from the US Treasury.
But forget about the substance, bad as it is, and focus on her behavior at the podium, which was, frankly, bizarre enough to suggest something is deeply wrong.
Watch her arms in this clip. It’s only 26 seconds long, so I recommend watching it first with the sound off. Watching a second time with the sound on does nothing the ameliorate the utter weirdness

The National School Boards Association has apologized for a letter that called on the Biden administration to investigate whether alleged threats against school-board members constituted domestic terrorism.
The NSBA Board of Directors apologized in a memorandum to members on Friday. The initial letter, sent on September 29, asked the administration to investigate whether alleged threats to school-board members, over masking policies and “propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory” in lessons, necessitated federal investigation.
Republican Reps. Jim Banks and Marjorie Taylor Greene were dinged by Twitter this week for saying that Rachel Levine, a transgender Biden administration official, was a man. Mr. Banks of Indiana said Saturday that his official account was suspended after he tweeted, “The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man,” referring to Dr. Levine’s promotion to four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Meanwhile, Twitter placed a “hateful conduct” warning on—but did not remove—a tweet by Ms. Greene, Georgia Republican, that said, “A dude who lived the first 50 years of his life as a man isn’t the first female anything.”
Attorney Andrew Stoltmann believes actor Alec Baldwin “needs to start thinking like a potential defendant instead of just somebody who made a tragic mistake.”
“There are crimes that cover this sort of situation depending on his level of culpability.”
“I’m certainly not saying he’s going to be charged,” the Chicago-based attorney told Fox News, “but what I am saying is anytime somebody shoots another human being – even on accident, even in self-defense – the police and eventually prosecutors look very, very carefully at what happened.”
“There are literally about a hundred different issues that would need to be resolved, but there is something called negligent homicide,”
No, let's not be kind to Alec

There have been a number of suggestions, from the conservative press as much as elsewhere, that we should go easy on poor Alec Baldwin concerning the terrible “accident” that resulted in a “tragedy” at his New Mexico filming location.
No, we should not. It was not an accident, and it is not a tragedy.
There a four primary rules of firearms handling, codified many years ago by firearms expert Jeff Cooper. Everyone serious about firearms has long ago (snip) It seems clear that Baldwin ignored every last one of these.
China on Tuesday launched a major effort to ramp up coal production and stabilize coal prices ahead of an anticipated surge in electric power demand this winter.
China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) reportedly ordered mine operators to “produce as much coal as possible.”
CNN noted on Wednesday that China made an effort to scale back coal production this year to placate climate change activists, but those desultory efforts simply evaporated in the face of rolling blackouts that interfered with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) industrial goals.
The US will “unfortunately” continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame.The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday.“Temporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure,” Biden wrote.
Actor, author and model Chella Man, the first transmasculine face of YSL Beauty, is celebrating the scars he has from his gender confirmation surgery. “My scars are radiant, they show where I’ve been,” the young LGBTQ and deaf activist said in a video for YSL Beauty shared on his Instagram account Thursday. Lifting up his shirt, and showing off his ripped and muscular torso and arms, Man says in a voiceover that he has always experienced “intense gender dysphoria.”(Snip)The Pennsylvania-born 22-year-old artist, who is known for sharing his experiences as a Deaf, transmasculine, genderqueer, and Jewish Chinese-American, began losing his hearing at age 4.
A distraught Alec Baldwin said on Friday there are ‘no words to convey his shock and sadness’ after accidentally shooting and killing the female cinematographer on the set of his new movie Rust, and that he was cooperating fully with the police investigation into what happened.
Officially Baldwin accidentally killed Halyna Hutchins, a 42-year-old married mother-of-two and the Director of Photography on his new movie on a ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Thursday at 1.50 pm.
I was talking to my sister from Greenville, South Carolina the other day and she was telling me, once again, about how all the Liberals (read Socialists, Communists, Progressives, Woke Libtards, or just Democrats in general) are moving to Greenville from up north and bringing their values (or lack thereof) with them. She was decrying their habit of driving around with one hand on the horn, ready to blow it at you or anyone else who even slightly gets in their way or simply draws their attention.
