Moderna is standing by its COVID-19 vaccine in the wake of concerns being raised around the world about the jab causing rare heart inflammation in young people. Seven European nations have either restricted the use of the shot in adults under age 30 or have made a recommendation against its use, in recent weeks. Data from Swedish public health officials found that young adults— particularly males —who received the shot were more likely to develop myocarditis than those that receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, spurring the decisions. Moderna acknowledges these concerns, but says the benefits of its shot outweigh any potential risks,
A Brooklyn teacher was arrested Friday for allegedly kissing 13-year-old boy on the lips at school, police and education sources told The Post. Michael D’Anna, 41, allegedly kissed the student at PS IS 30 in Bay Ridge—prompting a shocked assistant principal who witnessed the act to immediately call cops, sources said. D’Anna, a tenured teacher who has been with the city’s Department of Education since 2009 and at his current school since 2013, was charged with sexual abuse of a child, according to police. A DOE rep said the agency would seek to terminate D’Anna and that he would be placed in an administrative post away from kids
Afghanistan’s former finance minister is blaming hundreds of thousands of “ghost soldiers” for letting Kabul fall into Taliban hands as America withdrew all military personnel from the country.
Khalid Payenda, who stepped down from his post shortly after the Taliban takeover in August, told the BBC that nearly 300,000 soldiers and police were invented by corrupt officials to fill government books so generals could pocket their wages and accept payment from the Taliban.(Snip)“It ran all the way to the top. Unfortunately, they did not see the urgency.” The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in a 2016 report that “neither the United States nor its Afghan
Seven-year-old Zohra sits on the dusty doorstep of her family's hut in the province of Ghor, north-west Afghanistan, playing with her younger sister's hair and pulling the hood on her red fleece over her ears as bitter winds sweep their settlement. As dusk falls, the family starts a fire to cook dinner outside. Zohra and five of her siblings—she also has a 20-day-old sister—will eat bread made out of their last remaining food: a bucket of flour that sits on the floor.
Hunger is destroying the children's health. Their father, Qadir, 35, used to work as a labourer, earning up to £2 a day,
The Home Office has blown thousands of pounds on kebabs and pizzas feeding the record number of migrants who arrived in Britain yesterday. Officials ordered 3,000 chicken shish for £14.50 from four Turkish restaurants dotted across Kent as well hundreds of pizzas from the Domino's in Dover. Staff said they were rushed off their feet trying to prepare the huge order for morning and evening meals for those at the Tug Haven Border Force camp. It comes as a record 1,185 people reached the UK on Thursday after risking death on board small boats in the English Channel.(Snip)They will also be given sides including rice, which is an extra £3,
A New York City entrepreneur who recently flew to space with “Star Trek” star William Shatner was one of two people killed when a small plane crashed in New Jersey on Thursday afternoon. Tech CEO Glen de Vries, 49, who traveled to space along with Shatner last month during a flight launched by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin, was identified by New Jersey State Police as having perished in the crash.(Snip)The other man who died in the crash was New Jersey aviation-company owner and head instructor Thomas Fischer, 54. De Vries began training with Fischer as a pilot in 2016. It wasn’t immediately clear who was
Washington—Medicare’s “Part B” outpatient premium will jump by $21.60 next year, one of the largest increases ever. Officials said Friday a new Alzheimer’s drug is responsible for about half of that.
The increase guarantees that health care costs will gobble up a big chunk of the recently announced Social Security cost-of-living allowance, a boost that had worked out to $92 a month for the average retired worker. Medicare officials told reporters on Friday that about half the increase is attributable to contingency planning if the program has to cover Aduhelm, a new $56,000-a-year medication for Alzheimer’s disease.(Snip)The new Part B premium will be $170.10
Breakthrough infections are an increasing part of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic wave in Minnesota, according to new data released Friday, but people who are unvaccinated still face the biggest risk and take up more hospital beds. Detailed breakthrough data showed that fully vaccinated Minnesotans made up 197 of the 483 deaths from Sept. 5-Oct. 9 and 1,082 of the 3492 COVID-19 hospitalizations. While 41% of the deaths in that time frame were among the vaccinated, that is an increase from the previous four months when they made up 29% of COVID-19 deaths.(Snip)"The message cannot be that the vaccine is not working, because that is false,"

President Biden’s mammoth social welfare and climate change bill is poised to raise taxes on the middle class, while giving lucrative breaks for the super-wealthy, according to a new study. Nearly 30% of lower- and middle-class households would pay more in taxes starting next year if the bill became law, according to the study by the liberal-leaning Tax Policy Center, a project of the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute. The report is an in-depth analysis of the tax increases that House Democrats want to see included in the multitrillion-dollar legislation. Although the tax increases start small, they grow massively by the end of the decade.
A celebrity chef who claimed to have invented the 'world's healthiest meal' has died of a heart attack, aged 43. Gurpareet Bains, whose fans included Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow, penned several superfood cookbooks. The co-founder of Vedge Snacks, who lived in Enfield, London, was hospitalised following a heart attack last Thursday, his management have confirmed. While he regained consciousness a day later, his kidneys failed to restart and he passed away earlier this week as a result of heart and kidney complications, his spokesman confirmed.(Snip)The chef first hit international headlines in 2009 after he came up the 'world's healthiest meal', a simple chicken curry with blueberries
Cop26 is expected to have a carbon footprint twice as large as the last conference on climate change, making it the most carbon-intensive summit of its kind. A preliminary report for the UK Government by consultants Arup states 102,500 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) is due to be released by the summit in Glasgow.
This comes in comparison to 51,101 tCO2e from Cop25 in Madrid in 2019. Around 60 per cent is produced by international flights taken by world leaders and business magnates including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, said The Scotsman newspaper. His £48million Gulf Stream led a 400-strong parade of private jets into Cop26 a fortnight ago

During his SiriusXM show on Tuesday, radio show host Hoard Stern claimed that he would beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race if they were to run against each other.The comments from Stern came as he was explaining that the key to defeating Trump is by playing a portion of his phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from January.“What I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state,” Trump said.Stern claimed that there is “no way” he would lose if he played that clip.
From the moment Donald Trump announced his presidential aspirations in June 2015, he has dominated the political landscape. Trump's turn in the spotlight has persisted for so long that it seems impossible to get away from him. Both his critics and fans are many. Though Democrats control the White House and Congress, they are eager to remind others of the Trumpian loyalty still alive within the Republican Party. But when it comes to elections, there is no placing Trump on a ballot if he is not running. This truth played itself out on the Nov. 2 election night.
Oops! Cal Berkeley did the unthinkable!

CBS News reports that 44 Cal football players “tested positive” for COVID on Wednesday, after undergoing mandatory testing. Their weekend game is postponed. They were contact traced after “someone” was infected. The team is “99.5%” vaccinated, per Cal Athletic Director Jim Knowlton.
Damage control was immediate. In the same news report, Dr. Monica Gandhi, UCSF infectious disease expert, said the vaccinated players never should have been tested, and that “guidelines” hadn’t been updated. Oops!
Is the U.S. House committee that purports to be investigating the January 6 riot at the Capitol even more of a kangaroo court than many in the MAGA contingent already believe it is?According to tireless journalist Mollie Hemingway who is an astute observer of Democrat machinations, the “uni-party” committee may be violating somewhat arcane but important House procedures when it interviews or deposes witnesses, a process which requires a majority and minority staff participation.(Snip)“January 6 Select Committee staff have been falsely telling witnesses that Republican staff will be present for interviews, according to multiple eyewitness sources and documents. In fact, not a single Republican-appointed member of Congress nor
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, say President Joe Biden’s reported plans to give $450,000 payouts to each border crosser subjected to former President Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy are “offensive to the American people.”
Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Health and Human Services (HHS) are working to settle with a number of border crossers represented by the ACLU, who claim they have suffered trauma as a result of the Zero Tolerance policy.
As part of the settlement, attorneys with the DOJ, DHS, and HHS are considering a plan that would give

The White House on Friday said that rising gas prices proved that the federal government should spend more on green energy.“The rise in gas prices over the long term makes an even stronger case for doubling down our investment and our focus on clean energy options,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing.Psaki acknowledged that the White House had suspended oil and gas leases on federal lands, but clarified that existing leases were still able to produce.
The unsolvable Democrat dilemma

Shed a tear for the Democrat donkey. Democrats in Washington face a newly intensified disaster-level dilemma. It is becoming more obvious each day Joe Biden cannot survive another 39 months in office. (snip)Unfortunately for all Americans, the Constitution mandates what happens on the day they finally wheel Biden out of the Oval Office and into the Delaware State Home for the Bewildered. Kamala Harris becomes president. D.C. Democrats privately admit that, even on her best day, Ms. Harris does not have a small fraction of the talent required to be president. (snip) Until Joe’s cognitive crash became so obvious, that was not going to be an immediate problem
Prosecutor Thomas Binger attempted to discredit independent journalist Drew Hernandez Thursday by portraying his coverage of the riots as “very slanted,” but his effort backfired.
Hernandez captured key video footage in Kenosha on August 25, 2020, the night of the shootings.
“Your videos that you have captured of these incidents that you call ‘riots’ they’re very slanted against the people who are rioting. You characterize them as ‘Antifa, BLM rioters.’ Correct?” Binger asked Hernandez, who works for Real America’s Voice.
The videographer replied matter-of factly, “because they are rioting in the footage, yes
As RedState reported, Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. Apparently, a stolen diary is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next?
But what was so disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.
But while the Department of Justice requested us to not disclose
Adam Schiff’s disgraceful legacy
21 replies
The most recent indictment by Special Counsel John Durham has fully exposed the notorious Steele dossier as nothing more than a collection of lies designed to drive the phony narrative that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia. But beyond Hillary Clinton and her cronies who invented and disseminated the hoax, there were plenty of other remorseless liars who contributed to the fiction. The most flagrant huckster of hysteria was Rep. Adam Schiff, the highest ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
The House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection in the Capitol told former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows that he must appear for his deposition at 10 a.m. on Friday or he will be considered in contempt of Congress.Panel chairman, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, wrote to Meadows' attorney on Thursday night to say there is 'no valid legal basis' for Meadow's noncompliance with panel's subpoena. 'Simply put, there is no valid legal basis for Mr. Meadows's continued resistance to the Select Committee's subpoena.

In other words, the Affirmative Action VICE prez can't cut the mustard, and also is widely ridiculed and disliked because of her stupidity and baseless arrogance. And when people point this out, she pretends to be a pioneering role model because of the very rare distinction of being not only a woman, but also an Indo-Caribbean woman from Canada who pretends to an American street bLACK, and who rose to prominence by having a sexual affair with a crooked mayor of a failed city.
