12 replies
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. Bidenâs 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. âNAW urges that the Executive Orderâs implementation be revised to avoid this calamity and provide

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. â 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. â 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 Bottomâs 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. â 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 childâs mother said she posted the picture to find out if other parents were aware of a âpolicyâ of taped masks, and whether it
WILMINGTON â 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 theyâre emptied. Sonia Cervantes lives along Anaheim Street, where UCTI Trucking Company is located. The companyâs lot only has a capacity for 65 containers so the additional containers now line up along Anaheim Street in front of some peopleâs homes.
âItâs a bunch of neighbors that are very upset because itâs a non-stop situation,â said Cervantes. âI would

Port-au-Prince, Haiti â Desperate efforts continued on Tuesday to save a group of missionaries, most of them Americans, being held for ransom by a criminal gang in Haiti. FBI agents were working with local authorities in the tiny Caribbean nation to find the 16 U.S. nationals and one Canadian who were kidnapped on Saturday. Haiti's justice minister said the gang was asking for $1 million each â $17 million dollars in total â to release the missionaries, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The missionaries, from an Ohio-based Christian organization, were abducted just outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. CBS

California ports have hit another record, despite Biden's plan to extends their working hours in order to ease the backlog. According to data from the Marine Exchange, there were a total of 157 ships recorded in and around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on Monday, matching a record that was reached for the first time in September. The total number of ships at anchor and in holding areas, waiting to dock and unload at the ports, also hit a fresh record on Monday as 100 vessels floated off the shore. 97 of these ships are container ships
DENVER â A rideshare driver was hospitalized after he was stabbed several times during an altercation with a group of teens seeking a ride in Denver early Monday morning, according to the Denver Police Department. It happened just after midnight in the 2100 block of Broadway Street in Denver. Police said the victim was driving to pick up the group after they requested a ride from that address. When the driver arrived, he informed the group of five male teens he could not fit them all in his vehicle, according to police. Standard rides on rideshare platforms only allow up to
West Virginia Republicans are speaking out after an Illinois Democrat said their entire state is "an irrelevant part" of the national economy. Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., took the jab against the Mountain State in a comment to Politico on Monday while pushing the progressive Democratsâ Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP). Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., sent progressives scrambling to rework the climate agenda in the $3.5 trillion spending bill after he told the White House over the weekend that he would not support the program, spurring ire from progressives like Casten. "If you came and said to me, 'We will pass

A movie prop masters union has told members it was a live round and not a blank that Alec Baldwin fired at a female cinematographer on Thursday in New Mexico, killing her and wounding the movie's director in a tragic on-set accident.
Halyna Hutchins, 42, died shortly after being shot by Baldwin around 1.50pm Thursday at Bonanza Creek Ranch, near the city of Santa Fe in New Mexico, where they were filming the movie Rust. Joel Souza, 48, the film's director, was also hurt and spent several hours in hospital, but was released later the same evening.
Police have disclosed few details about the shooting, saying only that
US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the Justice Departmentâs mission and policies. Prior to the 2020 election, Zuckerburg dumped over $400 million to hijack the elections nationwide. Arizona received nearly $3 million Zuckerbucks to run their election and Georgia received nearly $5.6 million Zuckerbucks. Garland defends the 2020 election and even threatens states who think about auditing their elections but he is ânot awareâ of the serious election integrity concerns?
Preliminarily, it is tragic that 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, a rising cinematographer in Hollywood, died yesterday on the set of Rust, a movie being filmed in Santa Fe, New Mexico. My thoughts are with the loved ones she left behind. Having said that, I cannot escape a feeling that karma had a hand in this one because the finger on the trigger of the gun that killed Hutchins belonged to Alec Baldwin, a hysterical leftist who is fanatically opposed to the Second Amendment.
To give a sense of Baldwinâs hostility to gun rights, in 2018, the smug and constitutionally illiterate Baldwin had some harsh words for Dana Loesch, an NRA spokeswoman
First things first. National Review Editor Rich Lowry is not a âdie-hardâ Trump fan. Weâll offer several examples later in the article â but letâs first get to the business at hand. As Lowry sees it, itâs a foolâs game to overestimate Trumpâs dominance of the Republican Party this far in advance of the 2024 election.
Lowry writes, in an op-ed posted by The New York Post on Friday, that Republican politicians who think the Republican Party belongs to Trump can be forgiven, given that he not only survived two impeachments and the January 6 attack against the U.S. Capitol; he has since continued to thrive.
Somehow, someone made the decision to let Joe Biden out and to go to a CNN town hall.
Iâm not sure who thought this was a good idea. But even within the friendly confines of CNN, it was a complete train wreck â even by Biden standards.
Naturally, most of the questions from folks in the audience were Democrats or softball questions. But there were some highlights and it was disastrous.
Letâs start with the creepiness and the incoherence.
Hereâs Joe Biden claiming that top corporations âdonât pay a centâ in taxes with that creepy stage whisper voice.
No free college meant personal trouble for President Biden.
In a joking moment during Thursday nightâs town-hall meeting on CNN, Mr. Biden was asked about the reaction from first lady Jill Biden to the news that the proposal for two free years of community college had been dropped from his $3.5 trillion spending bill. Mrs. Biden is a college teacher. âThe White House has a lot of bedrooms,â Mr. Biden replied with a smile. âShe went like this,â he told host Anderson Cooper before making a pointing gesture. âDown the hall,â the first lady then said, according to Mr. Biden.
The House voted 229-202 on Thursday to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify before the select committee probing the January 6 Capitol attack. Nine Republicans joined all 220 Democrats in the lower chamber to pass the measure, which was brought to the floor after the 1/6 commission and House Rules Committee voted earlier this week to bring the matter to the full body. Along with GOP panel members Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the seven other Republicans who voted for the measure are
Meghan Markle called on Congress to pass a federal paid parental leave program Wednesday in an open letter in which the Duchess of Sussex said she âgrew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler.â
In the letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Los Angeles-born Markle said the COVID-19 pandemic had âexposed long-existing fault lines in our communities.â
âAt an alarming rate, millions of women dropped out of the workforce, staying home with their kids as schools and daycares were closed, and looking after loved ones full-time,â she wrote.

have a near-term answerâ for high gas prices 29 replies
President Biden admitted during a CNN town hall Thursday night that he has no immediate solution to the problem of spiking gas prices and suggested that Americans would not start seeing relief at the pump until next year. âMy guess is, youâll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the winterâI mean, excuse me, into next year, 2022,â the president told moderator Anderson Cooper at the Baltimore event. âI donât see anything thatâs going to happen in the meantime thatâs going to significantly reduce gas prices.
âI must tell you, I donât have a near-term answer,â Biden added before musing
Pfizer-BioNTech released data on Thursday showing a booster dose of their COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective against the virus, including the Delta variant. Initial results from a Phase III trial of more than 10,000 participants aged 16 and older showed booster efficacy of 95.6 percent. The study also found that the booster shot was found to be safe with no safety concerns or severe adverse events reported. Pfizer had said its two-shot vaccine's efficacy drops over time, citing a study that showed 84 percent effectiveness four months later after a peak of 96 percent-and said this is evidence that a booster is needed to sustain protection
Joe Biden has disappointed Americans more than any other president since World War II has at this point in their term, a new Gallup poll released Friday appears to show. The newest data come from a survey taken from October 1 - 19 and compares Biden's average approval rating across the first three quarters of his term against every president since Dwight Eisenhower. Biden lost a whopping 11. 3 percentage points from his first quarter approval of 56 percent to an average of 44.7 percent at the end of the three months spanning late July through October.
As one might expect from a Democrat, President Biden isnât afraid to work blue. Politico reported Thursday that Bidenâonce caught on a hot mic calling the passage of ObamaCare a âbig [expletive] dealââregularly uses profanity in meetings with West Wing aides, displaying a particular fondness for â[expletive].â Variations on the theme, according to the outletâs West Wing Playbook email newsletter, include the phrases â[expletive] them,â âWhat the [expletive] are we doing?â and âWhy the [expletive] isnât this happening?â(Snip)That may be news to Vice President Kamala Harris, who told NowThis News in 2019 that her favorite curse word âstarts with an âmâ and it ends with âah.â
