A consultant anaesthetist who was struck off after he beat his ten-year-old son with an aluminium broom handle has got his NHS job back after he blamed his conduct on his 'cultural upbringing' in Nigeria. Dr Adekunle Okunuga, 59, caned his young son with the kitchen brush for misbehaving at school and made him perform squat thrusts and stand on one leg with his arms in the air while he kicked him. During the assault, he also caned the boy's open palms with a walking stick before finally stopping when he saw his son's blood spatter over the kitchen floor.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and other lockdown critics have been accused for months of ignoring the science on the novel coronavirus, but a recently released study by Stanford University researchers is providing an empirical boost to those who want to shut down the shutdowns. A peer-reviewed article in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation found “no clear significant beneficial effect” from stay-at-home orders and business closures in eight nations, including the United States, versus voluntary measures adopted by South Korea and Sweden. Published Jan. 5, the article offers what may be the strongest scientific challenge yet to more restrictive
A Staten Island man who allegedly livestreamed his participation in the Capitol riot was arrested Monday, according to reports and the FBI.
Nicolas Moncada of Taunton Street was arrested at his home, with federal agents remaining at the scene. “[Moncada] is now in custody for his role in assaulting the US Capitol while our representatives were inside performing their Constitutional duties,” the agency said on Twitter.(Snip)Moncada’s mother told The Post on Monday that her son wasn’t rioting—he was just wanted to see what was going on inside the capitol. “I’m upset that everyone’s jumping to conclusions,” Joan Moncada said. “He’s such a good kid.
London—The Trump Baby Blimp will live on long after its namesake has left the White House. The Museum of London said Monday that it had added the giant balloon, which depicts Donald Trump as a screaming orange baby, to its collection as an illustration of the protests that greeted the U.S. president when he visited the city in 2018. “By collecting the baby blimp, we can mark the wave of feeling that washed over the city that day and capture a particular moment of resistance,” Sharon Ament, the museum’s director, said in a statement. The blimp will become part of the museum’s protest collection
The Biden Institute, a policy research center at the University of Delaware founded by the incoming commander-in-chief, will not disclose its donors once Joe Biden becomes president, according to a new report. The research center was one of a number of organizations founded by the former veep after he left office in 2017 and is in the middle of a $20 million fundraising campaign trading off its famous namesake. But unlike other foundations and groups carrying Biden’s name, which were shut down in 2019 when he announced his White House bid, the Biden Institute will continue to exist and fundraise
Eerie video footage shows emergency warnings being tested out before Inauguration Day in almost empty streets around the US Capitol.
A short clip recorded Saturday afternoon shows the usually bustling streets near the Capitol building in Washington, DC, almost completely empty after the district put up a ring of steel amid ongoing threats of violence. Adding to the unsettling scenes, a loudspeaker repeatedly states, “This is a test of the US Capitol Police audible emergency notification system.”
“Super dystopian,” said Remora House DC, a “collective” that helps the district’s homeless, as it shared the clip. “Super scary times we living in.”

South Philadelphia—President-Elect Joe Biden spent the morning of Martin Luther King Day, Jr. in service to the homeless and those less fortunate, in Philadelphia. Biden was volunteering as part of MLK Day of Service at Philabundance, assembling boxes of food for those in need. The President-Elect and Dr. Jill Biden were among the many volunteers at the South Philadelphia location, working together to fill boxes of food.

Shoppers from minority groups are more likely to shop online than go into a store, in order to avoid racial profiling, according to a new report. The study from the French beauty company Sephora found that in order to avoid incidents such as being falsely accused of shoplifting, minority shoppers avoid touching product samples, make a point of chatting to sales assistants and make sure they are well dressed, all in order to lessen the possibility of being racially profiled when “shopping while black”. Last summer, fashion brands were called out for alleged hypocrisy, for making public statements of support for the Black Lives Matter movement
China has dismissed heightened claims from the US that COVID-19 may have originated in a Wuhan lab—slamming it as baseless “conspiracy theories” and dubbing outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “Mr. Lies.” Beijing’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying insisted Monday that a US State Department “fact sheet” published Friday was “full of fallacies,” according to Bloomberg. The US report—which claimed that before the pandemic hit, several researchers fell sick in the Wuhan lab that worked on “secret projects with China’s military”—was the “last madness” of Pompeo, Hua reportedly said at a regular news briefing Monday. “The so-called fact sheet is another lie
Two weeks before he allegedly killed a man who was out walking his dog in Brewerytown, a suspect in the slaying—who had two previous robbery convictions—was released on dramatically lowered bail in an armed kidnapping and an assault case, court records show. Police said Sunday that they had arrested Davis L. Josephus, 20, in the slaying of 25-year-old Milan Loncar, who was shot Wednesday night while walking his dog about a block from his home.(Snip) He was still clutching his dog’s leash when officers found his body.

Germans who refuse to quarantine after being exposed to Covid will be held in detention centres under new rules prepared by regional authorities.
The eastern state of Saxony has confirmed plans to hold quarantine-flouters in a fenced-off section of a refugee camp set to be build next week. The regional state claimed that the facility will only be used for people who have repeatedly flouted lockdown rules around self-isolation. Baden-Württemberg in south-west Germany will use two hospital rooms to detain repeat offenders, who will be guarded by police.(Snip)Legal experts told Die Welt that state governments have powers to detain
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is planning to cancel the permit for the $9 billion Keystone XL pipeline project as one of his first acts in office, and perhaps as soon as his first day, according to a source familiar with his thinking. President Donald Trump had made building the pipeline a central promise of his presidential campaign. Biden, who will be inaugurated on Wednesday, was vice president in the Obama administration when it rejected the project as contrary to its efforts to combat climate change.(Snip)The project, which would move oil from the province of Alberta to Nebraska, had been slowed by legal issues

Revving up her rhetoric, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has been rumored to be considering a run for New York Senator Chuck Schumer’s seat, announced she has issued a “demand” for the resignations of GOP senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, among others, in the wake of the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Ocasio-Cortez intoned, “What we saw last week was not just a violent coup attempt, but we also saw a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of our country and a betrayal of the oath that we swear.
Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen (TN) expressed concern Monday that the National Guard troops responsible for protecting Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day could constitute a threat because they included too many “white males” who voted for President Donald Trump. “The guard is 90-some-odd percent, I believe, male,” Cohen said in a Monday interview with CNN’s Jim Sciutto. “Only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden. You’ve got to figure that in the guard, which is predominantly more conservative — I see that on my social media, and we know it. They’re probably not more than 25 percent of the

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) won’t be up for re-election until 2024, but she has seemingly already filed paperwork indicating she might run again.The 87-year-old U.S. Democrat from California filed the initial re-election paperwork with the Federal Election Commission last week, L.A. Magazine reported. A Feinstein rep reached out to L.A. Magazine to clarify what the FEC filings allegedly mean. “To be clear, Senator Feinstein has had a campaign committee since she took office, as all senators must. In order to keep this account active, the senator has to maintain filings with the FEC. Yesterday’s filings merely reflected an updated address,”

The last time I checked, this was the USA. A free country. A country where, when mobs of thugs were destroying Minneapolis, Portland, Kenosha, and other cities, the media reacted in horror at the suggestion that a few National Guard troops might help return calm for the residents trying to live peacefully in their homes, do business as much as possible in the circumstances, and stay afloat during a pandemic. As Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler said when offered federal troops to quell the violence, “This is not the America we want.” The very idea is repugnant!
Now, I am seeing pictures of Washington DC preparing to inaugurate Biden
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell revealed Monday that retail stores Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's will stop selling his products on account of his continued support of conspiracy theories centered on false allegations of election fraud.
Lindell, whose company is based in Minneapolis, made the announcement during an interview with conservative commentator Brian Glenn on Monday night.
'Just got off the phone with Bed Bath & Beyond. They’re dropping My Pillow. Just got off the phone not five minutes ago. Kohl’s, all these different places,' Lindell said during the interview.
Fans of Garth Brooks are divided about the country icon's upcoming performance at the inauguration ceremony for President-elect Joe Biden.
On Monday, the "Friends in Low Places" singer, 58, officially joined Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez in the lineup.
Many fans were excited to learn that the star would be offering up his talents for the ceremony.
"Apparently, Garth Brooks has some friends in high places too!" said a Twitter user. "Looking forward to his performance during our virtual inauguration celebration, for our very real President, Biden and Vice President, Harris."

The abrupt switch from media attack dogs to stenographers for power was always going to be jarring. But get ready for “democracy dying in darkness” giving way to “everything is swell.” CBS This Morning on Monday cheered on Kamala Harris by talking to the Vice President-elect's former sorority sisters. The full-on puff piece featured Gayle King insisting that “so many” are so proud of the Democrat.
Of course, no mention was made of just how liberal Harris is. Instead, reporter Michelle Miller asked questions like this: “How are you going to support your line sister as she becomes vice president?”
U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.

Are there no British anesthesiologists, or is there a shortage of those who are willing to work for the third-world salaries required to keep the NHS "free?" Note also how some people have carte blanche for behaviors that are "cultural," while WHITE people are universally reviled for the crime of their skin color and what's left of their culture.
