Astrid Koornneef, group manager operations for the Covid-19 vaccine and immunization program in New Zealand, said the country’s Ministry of Health was aware of the issue and taking the matter very seriously.
“We are very concerned about this situation and are working with the appropriate agencies,” she said, according to the New Zealand Herald.

The United States on Sunday reached 800,000 coronavirus-related deaths, according to a Reuters tally, as the nation braces for a potential surge in infections due to more time spent indoors with colder weather and the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the virus. The milestone means the U.S. death toll from this one virus now exceeds the entire population of North Dakota. (Snip) Since the start of the year, over 450,000 people in the United States have died after contracting COVID-19, or 57% of all U.S. deaths from the illness since the pandemic started.

A Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen franchise in Philadelphia has banned homeless people from entering its restaurant. Manager, Dayshon Aaron Sields, who runs the fast food joint on 15th street and Chestnut in Center City, said the new policy was put into effect after multiple homeless people came in without masks despite the city mandate. At other times, employees have had to call police on those who 'come in and trash the store'. He adds that staff 'understand there is a problem with people being homeless, and do not want to add to the problem, but also have a business to run and rules and regulations they have to follow.'

In the end, “we all thought we were doing Jussie a favor,” said the juror, who asked not to be named.

Dozens of killers, rapists and paedophiles released from prison have been given second life sentences for further offences. Over the past decade 129 criminals who were jailed for life have been handed the same sentence again. The figures will reignite the row over the role of the Parole Board following controversies over Black Cab rapist John Worboys and child-killer Colin Pitchfork. The data, disclosed by the Ministry of Justice under freedom of information laws, shows that 17 criminals were given a second life sentence in 2019. One was locked up for murder after having already been given a life sentence for that offence.

There’s gold in them thar trash bins. Nearly 100 city Sanitation Department garbage collectors and supervisors hauled in more than $100,000 in overtime last year—pushing some of their yearly salaries to almost $300,000, payroll records show.(Snip)“Chronically high absenteeism and inefficient union work rules have long contributed to excessive overtime pay levels at the Sanitation Department," Warren told The Post. “The pandemic surely aggravated the situation." The agency’s top OT earners were notably all supervisors with 20 years or more of service—meaning they are retirement-eligible and can use the overtime to fatten their pension. All of the top-10 earners were supervisors with base pay at $108,846.

The Biden team has an effort underway to try to make Joe Biden and his administration look more palatable to Americans. Last week they complained about treatment by the media — about the media treating Biden worse than President Donald Trump, which is a demonstrable untruth. But then they got some positive media coverage after those complaints.We also are seeing an effort underway to make with the fluffy interviews. Joe Biden did an ‘interview’ on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and now, Jill Biden has done one with CBS’s Rita Braver. Both were softball and friendly in the extreme, seemingly designed to make them look good.

At a time when the Biden administration is panicking in an attempt to keep energy prices down, the House has slapped a "fee" on methane that is being called a "stealth tax" on natural gas and everyone who uses it.
The House bill results in an "escalating tax on methane emissions by oil and gas producers," a new op-ed in the Wall Street Journal points out. The tax will hit $1,500 per ton by 2025 and the fee is supposed to be a contribution to recent promises made in Glasgow to curb methane emissions.

The problem is that she didn’t win. Electorally, it really wasn’t even close – Trump won 306 votes that year in the Electoral College, the same that Joe Biden earned in 2020.

This is apparently not a retirement, with Wallace noting that he’s going to pursue other opportunities. And while he didn’t give any specifics, we can speculate on what that next move is going to be. Here’s what the video of Wallace announcing his exit looked like. It’s a little weird that Wallace would plug his “new adventure,” including asking people to “check it out,” given that it’s not going to be with Fox News.

CNN’s firing of anchor Chris Cuomo leaves a major void in its crucial 9 p.m. hour, at a time when the network is already struggling to reverse a decline in ratings. Network President Jeff Zucker fired Mr. Cuomo on Dec. 4 after a legal review found that he had violated company standards by helping his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, respond to allegations of sexual misconduct. Chris Cuomo’s show, "Cuomo Prime Time," was CNN’s highest-rated program and a linchpin of its prime-time programming. Don Lemon is viewed internally as one contender to fill Mr. Cuomo’s time-slot, according to people familiar with the matter.

Democrat President Joe Biden is reportedly holding off on delivering military assistance to Ukraine as Russia prepares for what many experts believe is a likely invasion that could happen at any moment. “The Biden administration prepared a $200 million package of additional military assistance for Ukraine in recent weeks but held off on delivering the aid despite appeals from Kyiv and some lawmakers,” NBC News reported. “The administration’s delay of the smaller shipment of weapons and military equipment was designed to give more time for diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions and to retain leverage in the case of a Russian attack on Ukraine.”

Rescuers combed through fields of wreckage after a tornado outbreak roared across the middle of the U.S., leaving dozens dead and communities in despair.
A twister carved a track that could rival the longest on record as the stormfront smashed apart a candle factory, crushed a nursing home and flattened an Amazon distribution center.
“I pray that there will be another rescue. I pray that there will be another one or two,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said, as crews sifted through the wreckage of the candle factory in Mayfield, where 110 people were working overnight Friday when the storm hit. Forty of them were rescued.

Long-time "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace announced on Sunday that he would no longer be hosting the weekly show, saying he was leaving to pursue opportunities "beyond politics. "After 18 years — this is my final Fox News Sunday. It is the last time — and I say this with real sadness — we will meet like this," Wallace said at the end of the program. Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked and they kept that promise.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ primary office is in the West Wing, around the corner from the Oval Office. Like her predecessors, she has put her own stamp on it, and her choices are revealing. A year into the job, the East Bay native has moved into her West Wing office space, sandwiched between the president’s chief of staff and national security adviser. The hallways leading to her space are adorned with photos of her on the job. (Snip) Behind her desk hangs an abstract painting on loan from the Smithsonian, “White Daisies Rhapsody” by Alama Woodsey Thomas in

"No, my cat is not dangerous," says Iranian animal lover Mostafa, outraged by a proposal from ultraconservative lawmakers to ban pets. The 25-year-old, who runs a pet supplies shop on busy Eskandari Street in downtown Tehran, is stunned. "Crocodiles can be called dangerous, but how can rabbits, dogs and cats be dangerous?" he asked incredulously about the bill introduced a month ago. The proposed law pits growing numbers of people with pets against those who consider the practice decadent and hold that under Islamic law dogs, like pigs, are unclean. According to media reports, 75 MPs, or one quarter of

In California, they’re trying to protect 3-year-olds.
Or, alternately, they’re trying to protect themselves from 3-year-olds.
Hence, anyone attending a San Jose Sharks hockey game will now enjoy the solace of knowing every toddler present has been either inoculated or negatively tested.
On December 6th, the Sharks posted a COVID-19 revision at NHL.com.
The team plays its home games at the SAP Center, formerly known as the San Jose Arena.

Liberal anti-monopoly activists and Democrats are pressing for the government to prosecute Big Tech CEOs and top executives for monopolistic behavior and illegal activity that they say has gone egregiously unchecked.
The liberal antitrust activists are calling on the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission to criminally investigate and prosecute prominent tech leaders for hurting advertisers, investors, and some users by flouting the law while enriching themselves.

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that the United States of America is “much weaker now” under Democrat President Joe Biden’s leadership and that the world does not “respect” America anymore, thanks to that weakness.“We’re not respected anymore,” Trump said in an exclusive interview on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel.“I really think if you look at the border, it’s really terrible and a terrible thing to watch. I look at it from other countries with millions of people pouring into our country totally unchecked, unvetted,” Trump continued. “Millions of people,

In November, Secretary of State Antony Blinken removed Nigeria from the State Department’s list of countries hostile to religious freedom. The move flabbergasted religious freedom advocates, including members of the U.S. government’s own Commission on International Religious Freedom. That commission had urged Blinken in April to keep Nigeria on the list, pointing to “violence by militant Islamists and other non-state armed actors, as well as discrimination, arbitrary detentions, and capital blasphemy sentences by state authorities” in the country.
In 2020, the Trump administration designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) on religious freedom.

Last week in this space, I included a few words about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s remarkable new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. I also included a link to Kennedy’s appearance on “Tucker Carlson Today.”
It was a remarkable exchange and I commend both the book and the interview to your attention. I disagree with Kennedy about various things, including the efficacy of vaccines in general, but his assessment of the highest-paid employee of the federal government, Anthony Fauci, is worth the price of admission.

As it did in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, the major media relentlessly trumpeted a false story, this time about Jussie Smollett. In both cases the tales were of white supremacists committing horrific crimes. In both cases, when the fabulist tales were rejected by jurors who heard and weighed the evidence, the outcome was ignored or downplayed. But doubtless the distrust of their fellow citizens among the Black community in Kenosha and, then Chicago, and perhaps the country, was heightened by these lies.
In both cases, celebrities and politicians bought and promoted the fake stories. And improbable it was unless you are so nuts you think two masked strangers,

Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) explained his state’s new policy aimed at preventing the Biden administration from surreptitiously placing illegal immigrants in Florida.
The Sunshine State governor said such measures were justified because they prioritize his own citizens over those here illegally.
“For one, any of these contractors that are facilitating Biden’s illegal policies by bringing people into Florida, oftentimes flying in at two o’clock in the morning with no notice to the State

There are currently dozens of Trump supporters indefinitely detained without trial at the DC Gulag in Washington DC.The corrupt DC judges will not allow these men to post bail and many are beaten and regularly abused by the DC prison guards.(Snip) The J-6 protesters have been beaten by the Trump-hating guards to within an inch of their lives.This is part of the Biden legacy — Where America surrenders and then arms the enemy and where Americans are held indefinitely in prison with trial.

San Francisco's brazen crime, open drug use and trashed streets have made even the most progressive of the city's famed liberal residents demand a return to law and order as they seek to recall the woke district attorney.News of attacks on Asian American seniors, burglarized restaurants, and boarded-up storefronts in the city's once-vibrant downtown greet the citizens of the City by the Bay on a near-daily basis.And that was before a series of headline-grabbing crime stories in which mobs of looters smashed windows and grabbed luxury purses in the downtown Union Square shopping district.'There´s a widespread sense that things are on the wrong track in San Francisco,'

Kathleen Landerkin, the current Correctional Training Facility (CTF) Deputy Warden at the Department of Corrections in the District of Columbia, assists in overseeing day to day operations, inmate transportation, and case management.
Though she holds a position of power of January 6 inmates, Landerkin continued to spout anti-Trump and anti-Republican rhetoric on her Twitter until she deleted her account earlier today.

Peggy Noonan doesn’t always get it right (no one does) but when she does, liberal heads explode. Case in point, her column this week for the Wall Street Journal. Noonan hits the nail on the head with her brutally honest assessment of Kamala Harris as vice-president. Leftists are in need of a safe space.
The purpose of the column is to point out that Kamala is rightly being criticized for her unseriousness and incompetence in office. Americans are worried about that because it is a threat to our country. She is a heartbeat away from being the most powerful politician on earth

In the aftermath of the “insurrection” of January 6, 2021, American companies governed by woke executives and boards fairly fell over one another to appease the left. In a flurry of virtue signaling rarely seen, company after company declared that they would no longer contribute to the campaign funds of anyone who voted against certifying the 2020 election results. Mind you, senators and congressmen and -women have a Constitutional right to object for any reason or no reason at all. In fact, since the 2000 election, Democrats have objected to the Electoral college vote in three elections. Let the record show that since 2000,
