Remembrance with vigil
Posted By: Ribicon, 11/20/2021 6:32:45 PM
The White House issued a statement on Saturday recognizing a day of remembrance for the transgender community, citing those who were killed in acts of violence. President Biden called on state and local leaders to follow suit of his administration to advance policies that aid and protect LGBTQ people. “Transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But no person should have to be brave just to live in safety and dignity. Today, we remember. Tomorrow—and every day—we must continue to act,” Mr. Biden said in a statement. The president also condemned various bills across GOP-led state legislatures that are aimed at curbing transgender policies.

A supermarket in Melbourne has been forced to apologise after taping a message to its register encouraging staff to racially profile African customers. Sunshine West IGA in the city's outer-west has come under fire after a customer shared the notice on social media, which calls for workers to use a 'special button' if an African person walks into the store. 'If an African customer comes to the bottle shop presses the button for assistant immediately!' the message reads. 'Minimum 2 staffs in front while we serve Africans.'(Snip)The man, who chose to remain anonymous, told the ABC the sign was 'just for safety reasons'
Police are investigating a series of fights that broke out at Terminal 2 of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport just before midnight Friday. The fights erupted among a dozen or so male and female passengers after two large groups deplaned from a Frontier Airlines flight, according to Patrick Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which operates MSP. A video of the incident, which lasted just over a minute, was posted on social media and shared by more than 7,000 people by midday Monday. Blows were exchanged between several people and "some of the individuals threw stanchions and broke chairs," Hogan said.(Snip)No arrests have been made,
The owner of a Maryland seafood and ice processing company that employed at least 89 illegal immigrants was sentenced last week to a year of probation and a $15,000 fine, and had to promise to use E-Verify to screen new hires in the future. Philip J. “Jamie” Harrington III worked out the deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a single charge of unlawful employment of illegal immigrants. His company, Captain Phip‘s Seafood, was sentenced to three years of probation and a fine of $240,000 for felony visa fraud. Harrington also asked that his probation officer allow him to make his usual trips this year to Florida and the Bahamas
Gov. Charlie Baker expects a state-sanctioned COVID-19 vaccination passport program to be implemented in Massachusetts and several other states soon. During an appearance on GBH News' Boston Public Radio, Baker said a scannable quick response code, commonly known as a QR code, would show a person's vaccination status and be made available for others to scan and verify. "It's a universal standard and we've been working with a bunch of other states, there's probably 15 or 20 of them, to try to create a single QR code that can be used for all sorts of things where people may choose to require a vaccine," Baker said
The Bronx, N.Y.—Hundreds of Bronx families signed up for free internet access and $11 laptops on Monday as part of a new federal program. More than 1,200 families at the Melrose Houses will have affordable internet access thanks to the Emergency Broadband Benefit program. The families lined up in the basketball courts on Courtland Avenue to sign up.(Snip)The program was made possible through Congress, which set aside $3.2 billion to the Federal Communications Commission to help low-income households pay for broadband and internet- connected devices. “Over 1,200 families can get free access to the internet. At first, then affordable after that.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says that the appearance of a new COVID-19 variant could slow the economy and hiring, while also raising uncertainty about inflation. The recent increase in delta cases and the emergence of the omicron variant 'pose downside risks to employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation,' Powell said Monday in prepared remarks to be delivered to the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday. The new variant could also worsen supply chain disruptions, he said. Powell's comments come after other Fed officials in recent weeks have said the central bank should consider winding down its ultra-low interest rate policies more quickly than it currently plans.
On the first day of Christmas, the Bidens gave to thee a gas pump without the highway robbery. This year’s holiday decorations, unveiled Monday, feature the traditional gingerbread White House in the State Dining Room, nestled amid a confectionery street scene of businesses that have helped keep America running through the COVID-19 pandemic. In a prominent spot next to the White House is a miniature gas station with two tiny pumps, no prices visible. Nearby is a grocery store, another reminder of record inflation. The sight prompted comments on social media at a time when Americans are paying 60% more for gas than they did a year ago.
Newly-released texts of CNN host Chris Cuomo reveal how he wrote his brother Andrew's sex pest rebuttals and used sources to investigate accusers, despite denying 'closely advising' his brother. Texts also revealed his friend arranged for Alec Baldwin to post a video in support of his brother Andrew and that he used his media connections to find out about accusers. The text exchanges—released by the New York Attorney General's office Monday—contradict Chris Cuomo's claims that he did not closely advise the disgraced former governor about a dozen sexual harassment allegations leveled against him.
In one message, Cuomo said 'his friend' asked actor Alec Baldwin
President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to get vaccinated or get their booster shots amid warnings about the spread of the Omicron variant–but insisted that the infectious new variant was not a cause for 'panic' and said no new restrictions were needed.
'We'll fight this variant with scientific and knowledgeable actions and speed, not chaos and confusion,' Biden said at the White House.
But even amid the pressing nature of the new variant, Biden misstated the name of the variant. 'It's called the Omnicron,' he said, inserting an extra 'n'–an error his coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was standing in the background, also committed.
The new Twitter CEO is already facing racism claims, after a 2010 tweet resurfaced in which he appears to call all white people racist. In the tweet, published on October 26, 2010, Parag Agrawal, an Indian-American man who was named as Jack Dorsey's successor on Monday, wrote: 'If they are not gonna make a distinction between Muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists?'(Snip)Mia Cathell, a news editor for the Post Millenial, joked that he apparently does not know how to scrub his tweets. Agrawal joined Twitter in 2011 and has been serving as the CTO since 2017. As the new CEO,
As the coronavirus pandemic raged, Uncle Sam was doing more than putting money in unemployed Americans’ pockets—the federal government was also shipping tens of billions of dollars overseas to fraudsters working with the country’s most prominent adversaries, such as China and Russia. Haywood Talcove, CEO for LexisNexis Risk Solutions’ government division, says 40% of the more than $700 billion spent on unemployment went to fraudsters. Most of that ill-gotten money—$175 billion of it—went to overseas actors. And most of that, perhaps $140 billion, went to organizations that are state-sponsored. “It makes me mad that there hasn’t been enough oversight, that the tools that are needed
The gender pay gap is rooted in the issue of 'greedy jobs', rather than sex discrimination, gender bias or a glass ceiling, a Harvard economics professor has claimed. Claudia Goldin, who taught Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, outlines her argument in her new book, Career & Family, which draws on research to show that highly-paid 'greedy jobs' in City law, banking and politics force women to choose between their careers and families once they become mothers. The term 'greedy job' describes 'a certain type of "beck and call" job, which pays over the odds for extensive travel, unpredictable, inflexible hours and demanding client facetime,' The Times explains.

The “Nuclear Option” for Kamala?
31 replies
I suggested last week that negative stories about Kamala Harris that ran on CNN and over at Politico were surely planted by the Biden political staff at the White House, but I’m not sure whether the same can be said about today’s much more savage story in The Telegraph: “With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option.”
Unlike the Daily Mail, which sensationalizes news from the U.S. in tabloid style—though it must be said that it is often reporting stories the U.S. mainstream media avoids—The Telegraph is a staid broadsheet. Thus, some of the content of this story is all the more astounding for the panic
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who previously served as White House physician under Barack Obama and Donald Trump, has a disturbing theory about the Omicron variant.
On Saturday, Jackson suggested that Democrats will use the Omicron variant to push for universal mail-in voting for the 2022 midterm elections and save their party from an electoral bloodbath next year.
“Here comes the MEV – the Midterm Election Variant!” Jackson tweeted. “They NEED a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. Democrats will do anything to CHEAT during an election – but we’re not going to let them!”
Reaction to the Omicron variant has been mixed. Some countries, including the United States,
We’ve heard of people with stinky feet taking off their shoes. We have heard of people listening to music or watching a movie without headphones.

The White House does not have any plans to preview "at this point in time" for President Biden to visit Waukesha, Wis. after the Christmas parade attack earlier this month. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was asked why the president has not yet visited Waukesha, after 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr. allegedly plowed through a crowd of innocent people attending a Christmas parade there, killing six people including an 8-year-old boy and injuring dozens more."As you saw the president convey last week, our hearts go out to this community, to the people in Waukesha that we've been in touch, obviously, with officials there,"
Leonardo DiCaprio may have sold his beachfront Malibu mansion for a healthy profit but much like his Wolf Of Wall Street character, he is saying: 'I ain't going anywhere!' The 46-year-old Oscar winner - who owns two additional properties in the affluent beach city - has sold his private, ocean-facing property in the exclusive Carbon Beach community for $10.3 million which is $300,000 above the asking price according to TMZ on Monday. The A-lister put the property on the market in September as the home has proved to be one smart investment, as the star originally picked the three bedroom, two bathroom abode up for $1.6million in 1998.
A CNN panel made a variety of excuses for President Biden’s sagging approval rating on Sunday, from the media not doing enough to sell his agenda to the notion of people putting "feelings" over facts. On Reliable Sources," host Brian Stelter asked The Editorial Board columnist Magdi Semrau why the "link" between Biden and his agenda is "broken." Semrau asserted the media is not doing a "particularly great job" of relaying Biden’s agenda to the American public." However, the columnist also argued that American dissatisfaction with the president has to do with the pandemic and inflation,

Walnut Creek police and city officials warned businesses Sunday that the same group of thieves that targeted a Nordstrom at Broadway Plaza on Saturday night may try to steal from shops again in the next few days.
While the thievery threat is unconfirmed, and a specific location and time remain unknown, police who are “actively monitoring intelligence” said in a community tweet that businesses “may consider closing early or taking other precautions … out of an abundance of caution.”
According to the tweet, the Walnut Creek police are calling out additional officers and reserves.
DEL RIO, Texas—Border Patrol agents in Del Rio apprehended more than 250 migrants crossing the Rio Grande in a single group. The group, according to a source within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) crossed the river into the United States on Sunday near the Del Rio International Bridge where more than 15,000 mostly Haitian migrants were held in a makeshift detention camp in September.The source says the nationalities of the migrants were a mix of mostly Venezuelan and Cuban migrants. The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says the nearly 300 migrants are being held under the port of entry while they await transportation
With the emergence of the new Omicron Covid variant out of South Africa that’s reportedly more transmissible than Delta, the liberal media’s initial reaction on Sunday was to fret for the future – not in terms of how it could hurt people, but how it could hurt President Biden’s agenda. ABC’s Good Morning America worried about the midterm elections and NBC’s Sunday Today wanted Biden to “use the bully pulpit” against Republicans.
ABC congressional correspondent Rachel Scott was filling in as co-anchor of GMA when she asked deputy political director Averi Harper about how the new variant could be a wet blanket for Biden. “Nearly 150 days ago the President said
