the world looked up on this day in 1957

days in obit before being humanely poisoned...

Whilst Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are rightly hailed as being the first men to step on the moon, it was a stray mongrel named Laika who propelled the space race into new territory. On November 3, 1957, the little part-husky dog–who was also known as Curly–became the first animal to orbit Earth when she flew out of the atmosphere in the Soviet Union's Sputnik 2 spacecraft. At the time, the Russians told the world that, until her air supply ran out, the dog had survived for six days inside a capsule which provided her with food, water and oxygen.

A Houston doctor who promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 from the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court has been reprimanded by the Texas Medical Board. Stella Immanuel, who went viral after former president Donald Trump retweeted her and raised eyebrows for her thoughts on diseases caused by sex with demons, was fined $500 by the board and ordered to submit proof of consent from patients after explaining all the risks of the unproven treatment, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.

The election was held on Tuesday but Associated Press only called the race today after 100 percent of precincts had reported.

President Biden’s push to reward one of his biggest allies, organized labor, with a lucrative tax break will cost taxpayers nearly $1.8 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis. The Joint Committee on Taxation released an in-depth analysis of the tax proposals included within Mr. Biden’s 10-year, multi-trillion-dollar social welfare bill on Thursday. It found that allowing union members to write off some of their dues payments on their tax filings would wind up depriving the federal coffers of approximately $1.8 billion over the next decade, or $180 million a year. As currently written, the provision would allow members of a labor organization
Republicans moved this week to block $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants who were part of family separations during the Trump administration, but they saw their first attempt quashed by Senate Democrats. The payments are being pondered by President Biden’s task force assigned to help reunify and compensate families snared by the Trump zero-tolerance border policy, which led to thousands of family separations. Some migrants would be in line to collect $450,000 in federal money, and the total bill could top $1 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the negotiations. Sen. Jim Lankford, Oklahoma Republican, proposed an amendment to cancel the payments during debate
Advisors to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended on Wednesday that all U.S. adults younger than age 60 get vaccinated against hepatitis B. Under the new policy, tens of millions of adults in the 30-to-59 age range could get their shots, protecting them against this potentially chronic liver disease.
The new recommendation aims to prevent infection among middle-aged adults with hepatitis B increasingly impacting people in their 40s and 50s in recent years. 'We cannot eliminate hepatitis B in the U.S. without a new approach,' said CDC scientist Dr Mark Weng.(Snip)Adults commonly catch the disease through sexual contact and needle sharing,
Nearly 100 congressional Republicans demanded Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security detail its plan for dealing with a caravan of migrants making its way through southern Mexico toward the US border. In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas obtained exclusively by The Post, the lawmakers said they were “deeply concerned” about the situation and warned that border agents “are already overworked, undermanned, and under-supplied as a result of the influx of migrants this year.” The letter, led by House GOP Conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), also raised the specter of migrants attempting to force their way into the US
Making Covid vaccines compulsory for care home workers had little effect on boosting uptake, industry insiders say amid fears forcing the jabs on NHS workers will also be futile. Ministers have made it a legal requirement for all care home staff to get their second jab by November 11 or face losing their job, with the hope of boosting uptake and protecting vulnerable residents. But care bosses told MailOnline today the policy failed in its main objective of boosting uptake and was enforced 'without considering' the consequences. Critics warn it will exacerbate staffing shortages.(Snip)The insider said the 'no jab, no job' policy was already 'crippling' for some
San Francisco has been condemned for mandating COVID vaccines for children—even though no one under the age of 20 has been killed by the virus in the city. Figures from San Francisco's official COVID tracker show that out of the 664 citizens that have succumbed to the disease since it surfaced in the states nearly two years ago, none have been aged 21 or younger. What's more, only 1,529 kids in the city have come down with the virus in that span. 'San Francisco is going to mandate 5-11 year olds have the vaccine to participate in society,' one Twitter user wrote Thursday morning,

President Joe Biden on Wednesday attributed Democrat Terry McAuliffe's crushing loss in Virginia to Republican Glenn Youngkin on Donald Trump's fired up supporters who turned out in force in the governor's race, suggesting that even if his agenda passed before Election Day it might not have made a difference.'I think it should have passed before Election Day, but I'm not sure that I would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out and the red districts who were Trump voters. But maybe,' the president said during a White House event on Wednesday.By invoking Trump, Biden was at least partly agreeing with his predecessor,
Republican Glenn Youngkin was declared the winner of the Virginia gubernatorial race by a number of outlets and election analysts on Tuesday night after a hard-fought campaign that he entered as a significant underdog.
Despite trailing former governor Terry McAulife by as much as six and a half points in the RealClearPolitics polling average as late as the last week of August, Youngkin ultimately triumphed thanks to a hyper-focus on local issues and a commitment to walking the line between Trump supporters in rural, southern Virginia and wealthier suburbanites who were alienated by the MAGA wing of the party.
Youngkin will take office in 2022 after eight years of Democratic control

The mother of the skirt-wearing boy, who was convicted of raping a ninth-grade girl in a Loudoun County school restroom, said Monday that the victim was to blame for being assaulted because she did not make stronger attempts to defend herself.

Sunny Hostin claimed Wednesday that white women had voted for Republican Virginia Governor-elect so they could pretend slavery didn’t happen.
Cohost Joy Behar began the segment on ABC’s “The View” by saying that Democrats had lost in Virginia and other places because they had failed to deliver on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda – a failure she said was due to holdouts on both the far left and moderate sides of the party – but Hostin placed the blame squarely on white women. Behar argued that the Build Back Better agenda would benefit a lot of the suburban women who voted for Republicans,
