New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant. The emergency order is intended to increase hospital capacity in New York and will last until at least Jan. 15, when it will be reassessed. According to a copy of the order, the state will utilize the "surge and flex system," which allows the Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in situations where a hospital has less than 10% staffed bed capacity. The new hospital procedures will take effect Dec. 3. Gov. Hochul

AMSTERDAM - Dutch military police on Sunday said they had arrested a married couple who left a hotel where they were in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, and were attempting to flee the country. The police known as the Marechausse said in a statement the pair were arrested "in an airplane that was about to depart." (Snip) The Marechausse statement said the pair, whose names and nationalities were not released, had been turned over to health authorities. In all 61 of the more than 600 passengers on the flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town tested positive for COVID-19. Most are
A false perception of truck drivers' experiences and working conditions is fueling the ongoing truck-driver shortage, according to an expert. Tra Williams, CEO of FleetForce, a Florida-based truck-driving school, told Insider: "The problem is the perception that trucking is for people of low skill, low education, who are OK with low wages. All three are factually incorrect." In the US, there is a shortage of around 80,000 truck drivers, Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, recently told CNN.
Insider previously reported that, like other workers across the US, truckers are leaving their jobs in search of
Vice President Kamala Harris and former First Lady Michelle Obama are in the lead for a 2024 presidential run if President Biden decides not to try for a second term, a new Hill-HarrisX poll found.

Other candidates in the poll included 2020 presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A security guard who was shot in Oakland earlier this week has died, police said on Saturday. The security guard was working with TV news station, KRON 4 News, when he was shot during an attempted robbery on November 24 covering a smash-and-grab theft, part of a rash of organized retail crime in the Bay Area, police said. The shooting victim is identified as retired police officer Kevin Nishita, according to the Alameda County Sheriff's office. The Oakland police department told ABC7 News in a written statement: "This unfortunate loss of life marks the City of Oakland's 126th
Teen thieves descended on Home Depot as part of a smash and grab robbery before taking off with sledgehammers and crowbars amid Black Friday chaos across the US. Up to ten young men - believed to be aged 15 to 20 - stormed the DIY store on Hardwick Street in Lakewood, Los Angeles at around 7.45pm. Employees said the mob pulled up in vehicles with ski masks on before grabbing multiple tools and fleeing into several waiting cars. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the entire hammer section was cleared by the suspects. It is feared the brazen looters may have

Rents have spiked throughout the country in the last year, but smaller cities have been hit particularly hard. Topping the list for the highest rental increase for a one-bedroom apartment was Gilbert, Arizona, a town with a population of 267,000, where rent jumped 117% from September 2020 to $1,866 in September 2021, according to an analysis by Apartment Guide. (Snip) While rents continue to rise at a breakneck speed nationally, increasing by 20% from September 2020 to September 2021, renters in the top 10 cities experiencing the biggest rental hikes were shelling out at least 40% more.

PHOENIX — Pete Buttigieg has long been a man in a hurry. Since 2010, he has run for treasurer of Indiana, mayor of South Bend, chair of the Democratic National Committee, and president of the United States. At 39, he is one of the most omnipresent and newly-powerful members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. But he says he’s not thinking about what comes next, even as he’s buzzed about as a potential Biden heir. (Snip) The chatter has frustrated some staffers of color who see it as disrespectful to Kamala Harris — the first Black woman vice president — and
A Nordstrom store in a mall in Los Angeles County was robbed Wednesday evening by thieves who used a chemical spray on a security guard to get inside the building. The store, which is located at the Westfield Topanga & The Village shopping mall in Canoga Park, was hit by a group of thieves shortly before 7 p.m. local time as some shoppers were still inside the store, according to KABC-TV. Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told KTLA-TV that one of the thieves pushed and sprayed a security guard at the store with "some
BALTIMORE — A war of words between Governor Larry Hogan and City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby over violent crime has heated up as people keep getting shot and killed in Baltimore every day. (Tweet) Since they both criticized each other at separate news conferences Tuesday, there have been at least two homicides and one non-fatal shooting as well as a stabbing in Northwest Baltimore. A man was shot in the head Wednesday afternoon in West Baltimore. (Tweet) “People come up to me and say can you fire the state’s attorney in Baltimore City?” Hogan asked while making remarks at the
North Korea appears to have come down hard on people who distribute or watch Netflix's hit show "Squid Game." A report by Radio Free Asia cited unnamed sources inside North Korea as saying a man who smuggled and sold the dystopian drama had been sentenced to death by firing squad and a high schooler who bought a USB drive containing the show was sentenced to life in prison. Another six high schoolers who watched the show were said to be sentenced to five years of hard labor, RFA reported. Their supervisors were also said to be punished, with teachers and
Reyna Garcia was very excited when she believed doctor Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had responded directly to one of her messages to give her health advice. Garcia says the “kind” doctor had suddenly begun asking her for personal information, which is when she stopped and decided to contact Telemundo 52 Responde. “I was looking for a doctor and I say Dr. Fauci’s page,” Garcia said. Garcia says she suffers from health complications which is why she tried looking for a trustworthy doctor. She searched through social media which is how she found

Hillary Clinton is emerging from the shadows and pimping censorship as the solution to the Democrats’ ills. All this is taking place just as talk builds of Kamala Harris’s disastrous performance as veep and the Democrats’ terrible presidential electoral prospects in 2024. Hillary’s never conceded the 2016 election, and the lust for power she’s exhibited in the past appears unabated. Something is going on that brings her back to the public spotlight.
She appeared with Rachel Maddow the past week and managed to compliment Joe Biden and push for censorship.
Chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that his Republican detractors are in reality criticizing science when they lambaste his work on the coronavirus pandemic, because “I represent science.” In an interview with CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, Dr. Fauci said that “anybody who’s looking at this carefully realizes that there’s a distinct anti-science flavor to this.” “So if they get up and criticize science, nobody’s going to know what they’re talking about. But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well, people could recognize there’s a person there. There’s a face, there’s a voice you can recognize
The Salvation Army recently defended an internal racism guide that discouraged "colorblindness" and encouraged staff members to "apologize for being white" after the guide faced backlash. (snip photo) The Salvation Army argued the new guide was meant to encourage discussion about racism among members of the Salvation Army. The organization denied attempting to indoctrinate or tell its donors what to think, reminding people that the guide was meant for internal use.
As The Salvation Army launches its Red Kettle Campaign this holiday season, some of its long-time donors are withdrawing their support from the 156-year old charitable organization citing its newly embraced "woke" ideology as the reason.
Of great concern to loyal supporters and faithful Salvationists is the initiative dubbed "Let's Talk About Racism." In a nutshell, its curriculum outlines the Christian church's alleged racial collusion and provides action steps to analyze and combat racism through an "anti-racist" lens while incorporating Critical Race Theory.(snip) why then should members of an organization built by the Christian faith to actually assist people of all races in need, be repentant of behavior

Want to Slow-Roll the Panic Over New Omicron Variant 29 replies
We reported on the announcement of a new COVID variant which they are now calling the Omicron variant.
The variant was just discovered this week, but already you can hear the race to paint it in the worst light possible, suggesting that there was a lot to be concerned about because it was “heavily mutated,” that immunity and the vaccines might not protect against it. We saw the Dow take a huge plunge immediately after, likely in part because of thinking that this news could lead back to more government restrictions and problems.
The Biden administration reacted in a chaotic fashion. First, Dr. Anthony Fauci said
Wow, 72 hours ago no one even heard the name Omicron variant. Now, in less than three days, a variant has been identified, global travel has been halted, states of emergency have been declared, and now we see a pharmaceutical company announcing the variant specific vaccine trial that will begin in the U.S. in a few weeks. This government relationship with Big Pharma is certainly generating some fast action, eh?
If a person was cynically inclined; while knowing governments’ need to control inflation yet cannot raise interest rates or stop purchasing debt because current legislative spending continues – a remarkable control option would be to halt demand; and a
A Canadian school has cancelled an event with ISIS survivor Nadia Murad, saying her visit would be offensive to Muslims and foster 'Islamophobia'. Murad was scheduled to sit down with students from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB)—the largest school Board in Canada with nearly 600 schools—to discuss her book The Last Girl: My Story Of Captivity in February 2022. Murad's graphic exposé detailed how she escaped the Islamic State, where she was ripped from her home and sold into sexual slavery aged just 14 years old, according to The Telegraph. She uses the book to talk about how she was raped and tortured before finding her way
The House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot will likely decide this week whether to refer Donald Trump's ex-chief of staff for criminal charges, Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff said on Sunday. Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows defied a subpoena compelling him to testify before the Democrat-led panel earlier this month. 'I think we will probably make a decision this week on our course of conduct with that particular witness and maybe others,' Schiff said on CNN, referring to Meadows.
'I can't get into what communications that we're having or haven't had with particular witnesses

Despite rave reviews, Disney’s Encanto, an animated musical with songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, took a nosedive at the holiday box office.
Lol.
As of Thursday, this tale of a magic castle in Colombia (or something) is expected to gross just $26 million over three days and an anemic $38.6 million over the full five-day holiday.
First off, no one can blame streaming. This is a theatrical-only release.
Secondly, no one can blame the pandemic. Plenty of movies are opening just fine.
How bad is this?
Oh, it’s bad.
By comparison, one of Disney’s biggest bombs, The Good Dinosaur, grossed $55.4 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend.

She’s Sitting Bulls-t. A Canadian medical researcher who rose to become the nation’s top voice on indigenous health has been ousted from her government job and her university professorship—after suspicious colleagues investigated her increasingly fanciful claims of Native American heritage and learned she was a fraud. Carrie Bourassa, a public health expert who served as scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health, was suspended on Nov. 1, five days after the state-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a lengthy expose on her background. Far from being a member of the Métis nation, as she had long claimed, a laborious trace of
