book profits to state

New York’s top ethics panel on Tuesday ordered disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to pay the state $5.1 million in book profits he made on the backs of taxpayers amid the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extraordinary resolution was approved by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics in a 12-1 vote — a month after the ethics agency voted to revoke its prior approval allowing Cuomo to earn outside income from his book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” while he was still governor and New York was in the throes of the deadly coronavirus outbreak. The lone dissenter was William Fisher, a Cuomo appointee.

A 17-year-old Chicago-area drug dealer stabbed a 15-year-old to death over some weed. Apparently, the victim, Elias Valdez, tried to steal pot from the dealer. A fight ensued and the drug dealer stabbed Valdez. He later died at the hospital. The unnamed drug dealer pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree murder. Cook County judge Steven Bernstein told the 17-year-old murderer he was a “bright kid with a bright future” and gave the killer three years’ probation along with 100 hours of community service and told him that he and his parents need to attend therapy together.

Inflation Devastation for the Democrats

Most of you whippersnappers were not even Planned Parenthood targets back when inflation was last a thing. It was the late-seventies, which you people associate with funky clothing and disco music. Most of us who lived through that miserable decade associate it with economic malaise, notably including massive inflation and 18% interest rates.
Yeah, think about 18% interest, all you folks with an adjustable rate loan. You’re spoiled by cheap money and low inflation. You are about to learn a lesson in economics. See, when Uncle Sucker prints lots of money and there are fewer things to buy, you get inflation. Prices rise. And your standard of living falls.
We have text messages. The January 6 Select Committee got a trove of communications, thanks to Mark Meadows—Trump’s former chief of staff. Fox News hosts are featured. Trump’s son, Don Jr, is on there. The bombshell was here—and it was a total dud. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the GOP’s Judas, read off the communications as if this was some smoking gun. It wasn’t anything. It was a classic nothing burger. The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway had an epic thread on Twitter that shut this circus down. Our friends at Twitchy covered it as well. In all, all the texts showed was that there was no conspiracy. These people demanded
TAMPA, Fla. — Following an "outbreak" of 41 people reporting severe bleeding from using a synthetic cannabinoid, also known as "spice," two people have died, Poison Control Director Alfred Alegaus confirmed Tuesday.
It was reported Monday that fewer than 40 people were hospitalized over the last few days with bleeding after using "spice" purchased in the Tampa Bay area, according to a news release from the Florida Poison Information Center.
Aleguas, the co-managing director of the program, on Monday said tests show some of the spice consumed was contaminated with an ingredient once used to kill rats.
"So the commonality is that they are admitting to smoking 'spice,' or synthetic cannabinoids,
The Biden team has been trying to blunt the criticism of Joe Biden not doing interviews and not being accessible to the press by having him do some things in very controlled or friendly settings We saw him do a very friendly softball session with Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show.” Then he made a few remarks to CBS’s Rita Braver who was doing a longer interview with his wife — and that was about as fawning of an interview as you can get. Yesterday, he did a virtual interview with a WHIOTV 7 reporter John Bedell. Now remotely, you can’t see any teleprompters
Only forty-six percent of Americans now think Old Joe Biden is “mentally fit” to be president of the United States, and Jill Biden is not happy. In a portion released Thursday of a CBS Sunday Morning interview that will run this weekend, CBS’s Rita Braver noted that “quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness.” The winsome Dr. Jill snapped back, “I think that’s ridiculous.” Why, of course it is. It’s all just right-wing calumny, that’s all. He is fighting a stutter! How could anyone possibly look at Joe Biden and think anything but That man is sharp as a tack? Well, let’s look at
I’ve written it before, but with Kamala Harris no longer in the upper chamber, Bernie Sanders took over the “dumbest senator in America” title this year — and he’s hard at work maintaining the crown. The octogenarian continues to misunderstand basic math and lash out with lies.
The Biden agenda — which, sadly, is the Bernie agenda now — is the Vermonter’s last chance to vote for a litany of socialist programs to hurt America.
That’s because 11 months from now, Democrats will have their comeuppance at the ballot box and divided government will be the norm for at least two years; by the time Democrats ever return to power,
Formula 1 could be set for a messy and protracted legal battle after Mercedes vowed on Sunday night to appeal the result of a chaotic season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and have Lewis Hamilton installed as F1 world champion instead of Red Bull’s race winner Max Verstappen.
Verstappen, 24, was formally confirmed as the Netherlands’ first ever champion on Sunday night. But only five hours after the race had ended, and only after Mercedes had had two separate protests thrown out by the stewards.
Mercedes informed the FIA late on Sunday of their intention to appeal
One of Chris Cuomo’s pals got hooked up by the feds for some seriously horrific charges on Friday. John Griffin, who works at CNN, is in a heap of trouble. The Vermont Department of Justice released a statement. "John Griffin, 44, of Stamford, Connecticut was arrested today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation after a federal grand jury in Vermont charged Griffin with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity." [Tweet] According to the indictment from the grand jury, Griffin used social apps Kik and Google Hangouts
Customers attempting to print the popular anti-Biden chant "Let’s Go Brandon" on Titleist golf balls were given an error message and told their orders could not be completed.
"So @Titleist has now banned the phrase ‘Let's Go Brandon!’ on their golf balls," social media strategist Caleb Hull tweeted Thursday, adding that he had been able to print the phrase on golf balls in the past. A report from PJ Media also stated that "Lets Go Brandon" was not allowed on the golf balls. [Tweet] When Fox News Digital attempted to personalize a Titleist Pro V1 ball on the company’s website with the phrase "Let’s Go Brandon", an error message said, "Sorry,
Monkees singer and guitarist Michael Nesmith, a pop visionary who penned many of the group’s most enduring songs before laying the groundwork for country rock with the First National Band in the early Seventies, died Friday from natural causes. He was 78.
“With infinite love we announce that Michael Nesmith has passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family said in a statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time and we thank you for the love and light that all of you have shown him and us.”

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

I am not sure who told Chevrolet that what we really needed this Christmas was to ugly cry over an ad they produced for the holidays, but whoever it was needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.
You may have seen the shortened version of this ad, titled “Holiday Ride,” on TV. But you don’t get the full emotional impact without seeing the extended four-minute version, which is a tear-jerker and hit me harder than listening to my child ask me why Mufasa wasn’t waking up. [Video]
All the jokes aside, this ad is possibly one of the most needed
Mary Anne Franks, an actual law professor at the University of Miami School, has proposed a “redo” of the First Amendment in a Boston Globe oped. (She likewise proposed a “redo” of the Second Amendment, but perhaps that's better handled separately.) The first and most important of the amendments, she writes, is “deeply flawed” in its conceptualization “of some of the most important rights of a democratic society: the freedom of expression and religion.” The amendment as it stands now, Franks adds, it’s “highly susceptible to being read in isolation from the Constitution as a whole and from its commitments
Olivia and Amy are sitting outside in the shade, trying to escape from New Zealand’s early-summer humidity. Amy, 10 months old, burbles happily in the background as her mother talks. She is healthy, happy, and oblivious to her status as a world first: one of a handful of babies born from the first sperm bank for HIV-positive donors. The bank, Sperm Positive, launched in New Zealand in 2019, in an effort to reduce the stigma faced by HIV-positive people—and raise awareness that with treatment, the virus was undetectable and untransmissible. It grabbed international headlines when it was launched, but has been more than a publicity gimmick.

Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Friday said we “safely and effectively” drew down in Afghanistan.13 US service members died and many more were wounded in a suicide blast in Kabul because of Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal.“For the first time in 20 years there are no US troops in harms way in Afghanistan this holiday season,” Sullivan said during remarks before the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). “We safely and effectively drew down our diplomatic presence.
President Joe Biden condemned attacks on voter rights as 'unAmerican' on Friday as he delivered a commencement speech at South Carolina State University. His visit was in part a favor to his ally Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped resurrect Biden's faltering primary campaign in South Carolina last year. But he also used it to attack the Republican 'assault' on voting rights and to implore his audience to become leaders and business owners investing in their own communities, and helping raise the number of government contracts going to entrepreneurs from minority groups.(Snip)'But all kidding aside, of course, President Harris is a proud Howard alum,' he said in his opening remarks.
In a typical doddering answer to a pretty straightforward question, His Fraudulency Joe Biden made the false claim that getting the coronavirus vaccine is an act of patriotism.
This happened Tuesday during an interview with a local Ohio television station when Biden was asked about the ongoing legal setbacks against his fascist vaccine mandates. Instead of using this opportunity to inform the public, he misled the public. First, he made the outrageously false claim that the vaccine stops the spread of the disease. It doesn’t. It only slows it. Then he also made the equally outrageous claim that it’s patriotic to get vaccinated.

Adam Jenne wore a red thong as a mask.

This is not the first time he’s tried flying with the red panties as a mask.(Snip)Then he noticed others follow his lead. They took off their masks and walked off the already boarded plane. “I think it’s a testament to passengers having had enough
The world-famous Rockettes have been forced to put their famed kick-line on ice for the remainder of their Christmas Spectacular shows at Radio City Music Hall after production members were hit with Covid-19 on Friday as cases in New York City continue to climb.'We regret that we are unable to continue the Christmas Spectacular this season due to increasing challenges from the pandemic,' a press release stated. The Rockettes, who have been a beloved holiday staple enjoyed by kids and adults since 1933, are the latest not be able to return to the stage anytime soon because of the resurgence of the virus and the new Omicron variant.
In a recent op-ed, the New York Times demanded that all sports leagues shut down for “public health” over the fear of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
“It’s time to press pause on games, matches, and meets,” the Times piously exclaimed in its editorial. “If we’re genuinely interested in public health, genuinely invested in slowing the virus and saving lives, we need to look at the storm that has gathered and take shelter from it.
“Come back in February, or later,” the so-called “paper of record” advised.
The Times went on to suggest new policies for all sports leagues, including a long break followed by mask-wearing.
New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams has tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced Thursday night. As the city braces for the fast-spreading omicron variant, Williams, who is running for governor, said he was experiencing only “mild symptoms” and would stay in isolation at home until he recovers. “I tested positive for COVID-19 along with thousands of other New Yorkers as the next wave of the virus,” Williams said. Williams said his pregnant wife has tested negative for the virus, and he is grateful to have the wherewithal to isolate from her. He stressed that he is fully vaccinated and has received a booster shot.
