It’s been four weeks since I received my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but very little has changed for me. I’m still living in pandemic mode. (Snip) Let’s just hope people are willing to get the vaccines once they are more accessible. If they don’t, we’re doomed.

He will ever fascinate, I’m afraid, that arrogant killer named John Wayne Gacy. I have never forgotten being a young reporter and watching as some of the dead bodies of young men and boys were removed from the crawl space of Gacy’s ranch house near Norridge, in an unincorporated village in Norwood Park Township.(Snip) Were their more victims? Could one man pull off all these murders? Was law enforcement blinded a bit by Gacy’s “political connections” (he was a prominent volunteer for a number of local Democratic organization)

Buttigieg explained that several major highways in the United States negatively affect minority communities. “Well, if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway

Democrats are not only still bringing up the Jan. 6 chaos at the U.S. Capitol, now some are acting as if it was comparable to one of the worst attacks against America.During an off-the-rails interview on CNN, Tennessee Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen claimed that the Jan. 6 Capitol mayhem was comparable to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, where over 2,000 U.S. soldiers were killed and the country was dragged into World War II.“January 6th is a day like that,” Cohen said. “It’s a day that should be remembered in America because our democracy was at stake.

Prince Harry is preparing to return to the UK for the first time since leaving Royal duties after the death of Prince Philip - but questions remain over whether Meghan will join him. Harry's grandfather's death comes weeks after they gave an interview to Oprah alleging racism in the Royal Family which aired while Philip was in hospital. The Sussexes, who faced calls to postpone the interview because Philip was unwell, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the duke, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be before he was born.
