Outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is being slammed for his announcement that he is considering requiring children ages five to 11 to show proof of vaccination to enter businesses after he leaves office. 'This is insanity,' wrote Benny Johnson, the chief creative officer at conservative organization Turning Point USA.(Snip)The city has already imposed a vaccine mandate for people to dine indoors at restaurants, browse art at its museums or work out at gyms.(Snip)Under de Blasio's proposal, those businesses would also have to check the vaccination status of every child between the ages of five to 11 that try to enter their establishment.

Seattle has become so dangerous that the city can no longer protect its own employees, with security guards now escorting them after they finish work. King County's new 'walking bus' will debut on November 15, and see council workers based in Downtown Seattle and nearby Pioneer Square escorted to a nearby train station and ferry terminal each evening before being left to continue their commute home. An announcement on King County's official website says: 'King County is launching a 'Walking Bus' pilot program where county employees can join their colleagues and a Facilities Management Division (FMD) Security Escort each evening walking to the King Street Station and the Coleman Dock
President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that most Americans cannot understand the problems faced by the United States' supply chains, adding that 'not a lot of people' have a clear grasp of the networks and their implications. Speaking at the port of Baltimore, where he touted his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill—which was passed by Congress on Friday, and which he plans to sign into law on Monday—Biden said that investing in resiliency was essential. 'You hear a lot about the supply chains in the news, but frankly, not a lot of people have a clear understanding, whether they have a Ph.D. or they didn't go to school,
A disturbing cheap shot during a California basketball game left a teen girl concussed and her mother “in shock.” At an event in Southern California, 15-year-old Lauryn Ham was sucker-punched by one of her opponents. According to her mother, she’s still recovering from the brutal punch over the weekend.(Snip)“The person in question went down the court and shot a 3-pointer, landed, fell backwards into my daughter,” Ham said. “As they got up and turned and were walking back down to the other side of the court, her mom says to her, ‘You need to hit her for that.’ And the child in question sucker-punched
The tent city outside the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus just off the 405 Freeway resembled more a military encampment than a makeshift shantytown thrown up by vagrants. The tents were lined up with a soldierly precision, and each sported a prominent American flag. The impressive display was a mixture of pride and tragedy. Known as “Veterans Row,” the site was home to dozens of people who served in the U.S. military in every conflict from Vietnam to Afghanistan and now, out of uniform, are living on the streets of the country they once defended.(Snip)Although exact numbers are difficult to track, most officials say approximately 40,000
Members of Congress who die in office customarily have a year’s salary, currently $174,000, as a payout to their survivors.
Families of U.S. service members who die on active duty get a $100,000 death gratuity. Japanese Americans, forced out of their homes and into internment camps for more than two years during World War II, collected $20,000 payments four decades later. That’s worth about $46,000 in today’s dollars. Lawmakers and legal experts are looking at those kinds of payments as the Biden administration considers cutting $450,000 checks—nearly 10 times the inflation-adjusted rate paid to the internees—to compensate illegal immigrants who say they suffered emotional trauma

The U.S. is one of the few countries still recommending masks in schools as most nations let kids attend classes without face coverings. Although states are allowed to set their own rules, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests universal indoor masking for all students above age two regardless of vaccination status. In fact, 68.2 percent of the 500 of the largest school districts in America still require masks, according to data analytics firm Burbio. But there are only six other nations in the Western world that require or strongly advise kids to cover their noses and mouths. Meanwhile, more than a dozen other countries, including the UK,
Researchers running a small number of Pfizer's original Covid vaccine trials may have skewed their findings, an investigation has warned. A US subcontractor paid to run an arm of the study has been accused of cutting corners, obscuring data and putting patients in harm's way. Brook Jackson, a former boss at Ventavia, said the firm did not always test patients with symptoms, which potentially masked how well the jab performed. She told a British Medical Journal probe that as well as 'falsifying' data, Ventavia hired underqualified staff as vaccinators and failed to follow-up on side effects. The whistleblower has provided 'dozens' of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings
Ten different groups joined a small business advocacy group is suing President Joe Biden over his administration's new vaccine mandate for companies with 100 or more employees. The National Federation of Independent Business, the largest small business associations in the U.S., filed a petition Tuesday with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals demanding the court pause the Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule. 'The small business economy is fragile, and owners continue to manage several business challenges regarding staffing and supply chain disruptions,' Executive Director of NFIB's Small Business Legal Center Karen Harned said in a statement upon filing legal action against the president's new rule.

California governor Gavin Newsom had an adverse reaction to getting the Covid booster and a flu shot within days of each other, leaving him with muscle weakness and fatigue, claim sources in the family's inner circle. The governor was last seen in public on October 27, after receiving a COVID-19 booster shot in Oakland. He had gotten a flu shot on October 22. Newsom finally appeared in a photo attending Ivy Getty's star-studded wedding this past weekend after disappearing from the public eye for nearly two weeks.(Snip)But now, a source close to the Newsom family tells DailyMail.com he had a reaction to the shots
New York—Shoppers are already taking a hit at the grocery store. Soon, even their cheapest meat options will get more expensive.
Tyson Foods (TSN), Conagra (CAG) and Kraft Heinz (KHC) have notified their retail customers in recent weeks that they will raise prices in January for some frozen and refrigerated meats. Products that will see increases include Ball Park hot dogs and burgers, State Fair corn dogs, Jimmy Dean frozen breakfast, Hillshire Farm sausage and lunch meat, and Hebrew National and Oscar Mayer hot dogs, according to supplier letters to wholesale customers viewed by CNN Business. "All the packaged meat suppliers are coming to the price increase party,"
C is for Clinton—and Cruz. After taking aim at “Sesame Street” character Big Bird for urging kids to get inoculated against COVID-19 over the weekend, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Democratic bigwig Hillary Clinton’s sartorial choices in a photo showing the vaccine-promoting pair standing together. “Captured in the wild, rare image of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch,” the senator tweeted. That photo showed Clinton, an unpopular figure among conservatives, wearing all green. The Sesame Street character Cruz referenced has green fur and lives in trash can. Big Bird, as always, wore yellow feathers in the picture. Clinton had posted the photo on her Twitter feed
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been branded a hypocrite for attending the lavish wedding of billionaire oil heiress Ivy Getty over the weekend without a mask–while children in California are being made to wear them in the state’s schools. Pelosi, who officiated the ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, faced backlash on social media after photos of her mingling with other maskless wedding guests were published by Vogue on Tuesday. Critics immediately lashed out and questioned why it was mandatory for children to wear masks in California schools–but not for guests at the billionaire wedding of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty’s great-granddaughter and Tobias Alexander Engel.

It made for a good laugh a few months ago when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a particularly fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, indicated she wasn't ruling out a run for president in 2024. Her actions as of late have only fueled further speculation that she really is going for it. On Tuesday night she not only publicly railed against Trump before a large audience, but she did so in New Hampshire. As the first primary state, even just stepping foot there can get people talking.

Rep. Cheney made her remarks at St. Anselm College’s Nackey Loeb School of Communication.

What's up with Kamala Harris on her five-day official visit to France representing the United States of America?
Seems she's up to this: Truly, what is wrong w this woman?! She’s mocking them as though her prep for this trip involved watching Pepe LePew cartoons. Kamala using a fake French accent to talk to French people. (snip) Which is pretty juvenile. Going to a foreign country and mocking the locals in their own accent is no way to make friends or project U.S. influence abroad. In fact, it's not something anyone with any manners at all would do, let alone jet into someone's country to do.
Tiffany Cross, the host of MSNBC's Cross Connection, pondered on Twitter about how the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial could be removed from the case and accused him of bias after clips went viral of him berating the prosecution for its conduct during the trial.Moments after Rittenhouse himself broke down and sobbed uncontrollably on the stand, Judge Bruce Schroeder ordered the jury out of the room and subsequently reprimanded the prosecution for questioning Rittenhouse's post-arrest silence during the trial and referencing evidence
A Black Lives Matter leader vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York’s surge in violent crimes.
New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome debated the plan for a return to tougher policing with Adams during a contentious sit-down at Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday that was livestreamed on Instagram.
Although Adams found common ground with the activists on plans to fight poverty in the black community, the former NYPD captain said he’ll be reinstating a revamped version of the undercover anti-crime unit that was disbanded at the height of widespread police protests last year.
Sorry Hillary Clinton, but Kamala Harris is the official “Queen of Cringe”. As horrible as Hillary was, Kamala seems to make basic human interaction even more cringeworthy. That leads us to today, when Harris spoke with scientists at the Pasteur Institute in Paris in a cringe fake “french” accent.“We campaign with the plan … the plan,” Harris said with a strange accent.“The environment is such that we are expected to defend the plan,” Harris said. “Even when the first time we roll it out, there may be some glitches, and it’s time to reevaluate and then do it again,” she added.

President Joe Biden marveled at the high cost of gas on Wednesday, without offering any solutions for lowering prices.
“Did you ever think you’d be paying this much for a gallon of gas?” Biden said. “In some parts of California, they’re paying $4.50 a gallon.”
The president spoke about gas prices during an event at the Port of Baltimore to celebrate the passage of his $1.3 trillion infrastructure bill.
“People are feeling it. They’re feeling it,” Biden said, speaking at length about supply chain disruptions and the higher cost of goods.
Biden defended the higher cost of goods, arguing that thanks to trillions of dollars of government spending

As Vermont reports higher than ever COVID-19 case rates, state health officials have been trying to understand why. How can a state that did so well during the first part of the pandemic — even garnering national recognition — be doing so much worse now? "There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now." Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said.
U.S. voters are segmented into nine political tribes - four that lean left, four that lean right, and the 'stressed sideliners' who have a minimal interest in politics - according to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.Pew surveyed 10,221 adults this July, but has been conducting interviews with respondents since January 2020. While partisan polarization remained high, the research also showed that there are divisions within both the Democrats and the Republicans - as members' views vary on issues including racial justice, abortion, taxes and the future role of former President Donald Trump.
