UN chief blasts vaccine
nationalism, hoarding, side deals
Posted By: NorthernDog, 3/12/2021 11:38:41 AM
UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations chief criticized the “many examples of vaccine nationalism and vaccine hoarding” as well as side deals with COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers that undermine access to all people in the world. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement marking one year since the U.N. World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic that “the global vaccination campaign represents the greatest moral test of our times.” Ensuring that all people are vaccinated -- and “many low-income countries have not yet received a single dose” -- is essential to restart the global economy “and help the world move from

The judge in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer facing murder charges for the deadly arrest of George Floyd, said he will call back the seven seated jurors so that they can be questioned in light of the city's $27 million civil settlement with Floyd's family, CBS station WCCO-TV reports. In a motions hearing Monday morning, Eric Nelson, the attorney for Chauvin, said the defense found last Friday's press conference regarding the settlement "profoundly disturbing." He said that Mayor Jacob Frey is a lawyer and should "know better" than to hold such a press conference in
As of Sunday morning, U.S. Border Patrol was holding more than 4,200 unaccompanied migrant children in short-term holding facilities, including jail-like stations unfit to house minors, according to government records reviewed by CBS News. Nearly 3,000 of the unaccompanied children in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody had been held longer than 72 hours. CBP is legally obligated to transfer most unaccompanied minors to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the agency which oversees shelters licensed to house children, within three days of taking them into custody. The number of unaccompanied children in CBP custody on Sunday represents a 31%
Nearly $2 trillion in fresh relief benefits are expected to start flowing into Americans’ bank accounts within days. Now, Democrats are already looking to make some of them permanent. With President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan signed into law, Democratic lawmakers are exploring ways to ensure that generous tax credits and other key aspects of the legislation will last well beyond the pandemic itself, either through additional rounds of extensions or more permanent measures. (Snip) The approach suggests that Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan — as historic in size and scope as it is — could represent just the first step
French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo has come under fire for a cartoon which shows the Queen kneeling on Meghan Markle's neck, drawing parallels to the death of George Floyd. The publication, which has faced scrutiny before for its controversial drawings, has sparked outrage again just days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they experienced open racism from family members and staff in the royal family. The image appears to be replicating the horrifying death of George Floyd who died after police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes , despite Floyd's desperate pleas for

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said his state is being penalized in President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus plan, during a Saturday appearance on Fox News' Justice with Judge Jeanine. "What this bill does is it says if you locked down, if you destroyed your state, if you destroyed your economy, and you failed to stop COVID as well, you're going to get a windfall," DeSantis told host Jeanine Pirro. "Some of these lockdown states are getting an extra billion, $2 billion, $3 billion," DeSantis added. "So, it's effectively a transfer of money from states like Florida and Georgia to
MINNEAPOLIS — The first week of jury selection in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd's death established patterns for how attorneys go about dismissing potential jurors they perceive as unfavorable to their side. The defense is striking people who tell the court they already have strong feelings about Derek Chauvin's guilt. The prosecution, meanwhile, is blocking potential jurors who seem inclined to give police the benefit of the doubt — or who express misgivings about the Black Lives Matter movement. Though their targets are predictable, there's an art to how both sides carry it out. Attorneys
The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan signed into law this week includes a welcome tax break for unemployed workers. The law waives federal income taxes on up to $10,200 in unemployment insurance benefits for people who earn under $150,000 a year, potentially saving workers thousands of dollars. States that currently tax unemployment benefits have yet to decide whether they will allow those state taxes to be waived as well. The change is good news for many taxpayers, who could save as much as $25 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. But it also affects an already complex tax season
TUCSON, Ariz. — U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, a five-term Arizona Democrat, announced Friday she won't run for reelection in 2022.
Her decision means her district is sure to draw heavy national attention in the election, with an open seat and potential control of the U.S. House of Representatives on the line. Democrats now hold a narrow House majority and Republicans have promised to target her 2nd District as a possible flip opportunity, while Democrats will fight to hold it. The wild card will be redistricting, with the state expected to be assigned a 10th congressional district. How that district is fit
MINNEAPOLIS - As day four of the Derek Chauvin trial was underway in Minneapolis, the area around George Floyd Square was peaceful. Like most days, many people visited the memorial to mourn and pay their respect for George Floyd. But, it seems on any given day, at any time, the situation at 38th in Chicago can change drastically. (Snip) George Floyd Square is run by a group of people who say they will only give the intersection back to the city if 24 demands are met, all posted on social media. City leaders want to open the intersection but indicate it's

Even with indoor dining returning in many parts of Southern California, officials are urging caution because of the ongoing COVID-19 risk. Dr. Muntu Davis, the Los Angeles County health officer, cautioned that eating in a restaurant’s indoor dining room is still risky. If eating at a restaurant, dining outdoors remains safer, he said Friday. “People are susceptible to this virus. There are variants that are circulating in our county,” Davis said. “Many of those can be more easily transmitted, and some may be causing more severe disease.” The risk of dining indoors at restaurants is one reason why L.A.

Bruce Starr spotted the problem right away: The hydrogen-powered cars General Motors was showing off on the Oregon Capitol grounds wouldn’t need gas. And if they didn’t need gas, drivers wouldn’t be paying gas taxes that fund the state’s roads. (Snip) Many have settled on an answer: charging drivers a penny or two for each mile behind the wheel. But while such a system would bring in tax dollars for roads, it also would present a new set of obstacles. States are leading the way, with Oregon and Utah launching the first programs and several others running pilots to test
MINNEAPOLIS – Target announced on Thursday that the company is downsizing its Minneapolis office space by moving out of City Center, a move that decreases its downtown footprint by one-third. In an email to corporate employees, Target executives said its post-pandemic “Flex for Your Day” policy—a hybrid model that will allow both remote and on-site work—requires less office space, driving the decision to stop its lease of nearly one million square feet at City Center. The 3,500 employees who worked at that location will be relocated to another Minneapolis location or Brooklyn Park. There are no lay-offs due to the

The United States Army is reportedly considering doing away with its new “gender-neutral physical test” after test results showed that the majority of women failed while approximately 90 percent of men passed. Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two.“Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT], which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions,”
The answer to that question may be in his absurd speech on Thursday when he said “we may have to reinstate the lockdown restrictions” if… If what? What if the migrants the Biden Administration is allowing to come across the southern border without being tested, even if showing symptoms, then given bus tickets to any American city they hope to reach, is a grand plan to spread this flu throughout the country again in order to reinstate all the unconstitutional restrictions to which millions of Americans willingly submitted? Chances are that the powers that be never dreamed so many people would give up their freedom
The Biden administration has managed to quickly duplicate the Obama administration's disastrous foreign policy of appeasement. Now it's busy copying its opposition campaign.
One of the dumber campaigns by the Obama administration was Operation Rushbo.
Operation Rushbo was a campaign by Obama's people to target Rush Limbaugh personally, as the most outspoken voice in the conservative movement, and to, seemingly 'destroy' the conservative movement by making Limbaugh into its public face. [SNIP] Now, the Biden administration has decided to relaunch Operation Rushbo to target Tucker Carlson.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that it is “disturbing” some supporters of former President Donald Trump are unwilling to get the coronavirus vaccine.
Anchor Chuck Todd asked, “I want to talk about vaccine. He has hesitancy here. We are seeing a bigger divide by politics. We talked about it earlier. For instance, among Trump voters, 47% have said they’ll not be vaccinated, 30% say yes, and half Republican men say they’re not going to take this vaccine. You have the PSA with all the former presidents except one, President Trump, in there. Do you think he
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that climate change has contributed to the surge of migrant children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Pelosi said, “There are more children, about 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children coming over the border. This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us. What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border, and they are working to correct that in the children’s interest. I’m so pleased that the president, as a temporary measure, has sent FEMA to the border to help facilitate the children going from one 72-hour issue where they are cared for

For the past couple of days many of us have been transfixed by the sordid spectacle of senior military officers and the senior noncommissioned officers in the US Army and Space Force leveled attacks against Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson’s gave offense was pointing out the blinding stupidity and self-centeredness of military services who haven’t been doing all that great in the warfighting business suddenly becoming obsessed with hairstyling and pregnancy outfits for women in the military…and with general wokeness…while giving short shrift to things like combat readiness.

The California Department of Education (CDE) is set to vote on a new ethnic studies curriculum that reportedly calls for the “decolonization” of society in America and encourages students to chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice.The curriculum will focus on “social consciousness” and cultures that have allegedly not gotten enough attention in textbooks. That would include “African American, Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x, Native American, and Asian American and Pacific Islander studies,” according to the CDE. “By affirming the identities and contributions of marginalized groups in our society, ethnic studies helps students see themselves and each other as part of the narrative of the United States,” the overview states.
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday refused to rule out a possible run for governor in 2022 — while insisting that his priority is shepherding New York City through the coronavirus. Asked point-blank during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” if he would launch a campaign for Albany after he’s term-limited out of City Hall, de Blasio shifted the subject. “I’m focused right now on fighting COVID and reopening our schools and bringing this city back,” said de Blasio with a slight chuckle. “That’s my focus.”
