‘very unfavorable’ view of Kamala
Harris and split on her being president
Posted By: NorthernDog, 4/27/2021 9:02:19 AM
America is not quite there yet on Vice President Kamala Harris, with a sizable viewing her unfavorably and the nation overall split on her becoming the first female president. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 51% have an unfavorable view of her. And most, 43% expressed a “very unfavorable” opinion, a sour note to her debut on the world stage today as she addresses the United Nations Monday on the global coronavirus crisis. Rasmussen noted that a majority of likely voters do not believe that she is qualified to take over for President Biden. But the nation is split on

More than half of American (and Californian) adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and nearly a third are fully vaccinated. Vaccination has now been opened to everyone 16 and older. Our biggest worry in the coming months isn't whether we'll be able to deliver enough doses; it's whether enough people will seek them. We’re getting closer to the point where every American who wants to be vaccinated will have gotten their needle stick. A quarter of Americans say they don't plan to be vaccinated; in vaccine-friendlier California, that’s 1 in 5. Of those who don’t
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Police in Alameda, California, are under fire over the death of a Latino man who was pinned to the ground face down for more than five minutes on the same day a jury in Minneapolis began deliberating in the George Floyd case. (Snip) An attorney for the officers said they did nothing wrong. “These officers used the lowest degree of force possible given the intensity of Mr. Gonzalez's efforts to evade their grasp," Alison Berry Wilkinson told KTVU-TV. Officers had to act to ensure the safety of Gonzalez because he appeared intoxicated and disoriented and they were
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Months after President Joe Biden snubbed Canadian officials by canceling Keystone XL, a showdown over a second crude oil pipeline threatens to further strain ties between the two neighbors. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has set a May 12 deadline for Canadian energy company Enbridge to shut down its Line 5, which delivers oil from Alberta to refineries in the U.S. Midwest and eastern Canada. Whitmer agrees with environmentalists who consider the pipeline an environmental hazard, mostly because one 68-year-old section crosses the Straits of Mackinac linking Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Canadian officials say closing the pipeline
Multiple police officers were reportedly denied service at a Seattle, Washington, chocolate shop. “No, I won’t serve you,” one of the uniformed police officers, accompanied by a trainee, was told by an employee after attempting to make a purchase at an establishment named Chocolati, according to the Post Millennial. A third officer told the news outlet that he had experienced the same treatment at a different Chocolati location. When contacted by the Post Millennial, a Chocolati employee responded by telling the reporter to “go f--- yourself.” Chocolati’s website states that the company’s goal is to “grow at a steady pace
WASHINGTON — When President Joe Biden named Kamala Harris as his running mate, there were whispers about her ambition — would a former rival be a loyal soldier to a president she so sharply criticized on the campaign trail? (Snip) Harris has taken on one of the administration’s toughest tasks — addressing the root causes of migration to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America. The problem has bedeviled presidents from both parties for years and has no easy solutions. Tina Flournoy, Harris' chief of staff, said the vice president has “taken it on with gusto." “She has said to
The player introductions from Tuesday’s Jeopardy! caused quite an uproar on Twitter as many viewers were left wondering if returning champion Kelly Donohue made a hand gesture which has been classified as a symbol of hate by the Anti-Defamation League. The symbol, which is often referred to as the “OK” sign, has been tied to white supremacists. Context does matter. One fan pointed out that Donohue held up fingers during his previous introductions in correlation to how many games he had won, and coming into Tuesday he had won three games so he held up three fingers. What Donohue hoped
Crematoriums in the Indian capital Delhi have been forced to build makeshift funeral pyres, as the city runs out of space to cremate its dead. Staff are working around the clock, while parks and other empty spaces are also being utilised for cremations. Families have had to wait hours before being allowed to cremate their dead due to the rise in demand. Deaths have been surging in India as a second wave of infections devastates the country. The rising number of deaths - 380 were recorded in Delhi alone on Monday - has left crematoriums in urgent need of space. At the
The US is poised to ban menthol cigarettes in a move health experts say could have a positive impact on the health of Black Americans. The vast majority of Black smokers, an estimated 85 per cent, use menthol cigarettes, and now the Food and Drug Administration is set to take action this week. The FDA faces a Thursday court deadline to respond to a 2013 citizen petition urging it to ban menthol, in the same way it has other prohibited flavoured cigarettes. The African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council and Action on Smoking and Health sued the FDA when it

Mask Guidance Is a Joke 17 replies
There was a lot of buildup toward the CDC’s announcement relaxing the guidance on the wearing of masks outdoors. The results are now in, and they are a joke. Per the Washington Post, the CDC now says that “fully vaccinated Americans can go without masks outdoors when walking, jogging or biking outdoors, or dining with friends at outdoor restaurants.” But this isn’t the only deliverance the pezzonovante at the CDC are bestowing upon us. The CDC says that “even unvaccinated individuals may go without masks when walking, jogging or biking outdoors with household members.” But for those hoping this new
Home prices surge by most since 2006

U.S. home prices in February rose at their fastest pace in 15 years as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the urge to move from urban apartments to suburban homes. Home prices climbed 12% year over year in February, according to the national Case-Shiller index, making for the fastest increase since February 2006. Prices are now 29% above their 2006 peak. "The housing market is running full steam ahead," said Selma Hepp, deputy chief economist at CoreLogic. The 20-City Composite rose 11.9% in February versus a year ago, up from 11.1% in the previous month. All 20 of the index’s cities saw

WASHINGTON — The Census Bureau released state population totals that determine each state's number of House seats on Monday, with just seven seats moving among 13 states — the smallest shift among the states since the current congressional apportionment model was adopted in the 1940s. Texas was the biggest winner, gaining two House seats to its total. Following the Lone Star State, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Florida and North Carolina each gained one seat. The losses were concentrated in the industrial Midwest, with Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio each losing one seat. Democratic strongholds California and New York each lost a

Hunter Biden: 'They've made sure
that he's a laughing stock' 39 replies
Cindy McCain blasted the media’s treatment of presidential son Hunter Biden in an interview released Tuesday night, calling it cruel and intended to ridicule.
The widow of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain said her remarks were “not to be political,” but to say that the extensive reporting on Mr. Biden was unhelpful to addicts. “In the case of Hunter Biden, whether you like him or not, whether you agree with him or not, I don’t care. But the fact of the matter, they have once again shamed a man who is struggling in addiction, and the media has taken no sense of responsibility

A shortage of semiconductor chips continues to impact both automotive industry employees and those looking to buy a car. Industry analysts say the shortage could last through the end of the year and possibly into 2022.
"The microchip crisis is probably the worst crisis I’ve seen in the auto industry, at least in my career, in terms of supply chain," General Motors President Mark Reuss told Fox Business.
General Motors has idled several plants across the country in the last several weeks as the lack of semiconductors meant vehicles could not be made.
On a recent walk, I came across a neighborhood littered with the yard sign in this photo. It seems the provocative platitudes we’ve seen on bumper stickers for a century have now taken root in our yards.
And for the same reason: To tell the world that the sign-planter holds wonderful beliefs that he’s willing to impose upon and attribute to the rest of his family. It’s surely not because the sign-planter thinks he’s persuading anyone of the rightness of his position, as if the neighbors reading the sign will say to themselves, “Gee, ‘Democracy dies in darkness’ is a great point. I’d never thought of it that way.”

While it may seem obvious that the constitutional right to "keep and bear arms" extends beyond the home, federal courts have been debating that question for years. This week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could finally settle the issue, which the petitioners call "perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question." The case involves a New York law that requires applicants for handgun carry licenses to show "proper cause," which according to state courts means more than a "generalized desire" to "protect one's person and property."

Locking Up and Gassing White People
in Hypothetical ‘Race War’ 22 replies
During an appearance on Canadian radio show Monday, a Barnard College English instructor discussed with a Jewish host a passage from his new book about how he would gas white people in a locked room “when the race war hits its crescendo.”
(Snip) When this race war hits its crescendo, I’ll gather you all into a beautifully decorated room under the pretense of unity. I’ll give a speech to civility and all the good times we share; I’ll smile as we raise glasses to your good, white health, while the detonator blinks under the table, knowing the exits are locked and the air vents filled with gas.
Federal investigators have executed a search warrant on former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, seizing electronic devices, according to a report from the New York Times. The raid on Giuliani, who has served as a personal attorney for former President Donald Trump, comes as federal authorities were investigating whether Giuliani violated the law by lobbying the Trump administration on behalf of Ukrainian officials in 2019.

NYPD Officer Anastasios Tsakos, who was killed early Tuesday by a drunk driver in Queens while directing traffic away from an earlier crash, was a father of two and lived in Suffolk County.
He had family in our country and in Greece.
The Tsakos family had moved to their East Northport neighborhood last summer, and neighbors say the 43-year-old lovingly known as “Tasso” was blending in beautifully to the neighborhood.
However, this news was presented by some mainstream media just as a cop killed by an alleged drunk driver and reported her apology.
President Joe Biden will use his first address to Congress Wednesday evening to draw attention to the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill as supporters of former President Donald Trump protested the 2020 election.The president will describe the riot as “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War” according to advance excerpts released by the White House to reporters. Biden will also say he inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and the worst medical pandemic in a century with the coronavirus, and he successfully turned the country from the brink. “Now — after just 100 days — I can report to the nation:
The jury in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was at peace with the guilty verdict they rendered, the first juror to reveal his identity said this week.

More than 230 cops have either retired or resigned from the Louisville Metro Police Department in the last 16 months as a spokesperson for its union says that staffing shortages have left the agency in ‘dire straits’ while violent crime rises.
The Kentucky city’s police department has been in turmoil since the March 2020 police-involved shooting of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old black EMT who was fatally shot in her home by officers executing a no-knock search warrant.
According to statistics provided by the LMPD on Tuesday, the department has seen about 190 officers leave last year and 43 depart so far this year.
