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.

A newly-ordained pastor from Chicago is dressing up in drag in order to lead church services with children. Aaron Musser, who was ordained this summer, can be seen addressing children from a pulpit in his church dressed in a blonde wig, white dress, and makeup before spreading the word of the Lord to children at his parish at St. Luke's Lutheran Church of Logan Square.(Snip)The announcement noted that 'Seminarian Aaron' would be 'preaching in drag!' adding that the church wanted everyone 'to wear garments/accessories that make you feel 100%, like the best version of yourself.' Musser writes openly about incorporating 'Queerness' into his teachings
When Westminster United Methodist Church in Houston resumed in-person services late last year, after a seven-month halt due to COVID-19, there were Sundays when only three worshippers showed up, according to the pastor, Meredith Mills. Since then, attendance has inched back up, but it’s still only about half the pre-pandemic turnout of 160 or 170, Mills estimates.(Snip)Among mainline Protestants, just 1% said in a May 2020 poll that they were attending in-person services at least once a week. In the new poll, 14% say they’re doing so now, compared to 16% who say they did in 2019.
The Navy is launching a maternity uniform pilot program in 2022 for pregnant sailors, providing them with maternity uniforms, free of charge. From January 2, 2022, to September 30, 2026, pregnant volunteers, sailors and officers in the active component and Navy Reserve will be allowed to receive 'a full array of authorized Navy maternity uniforms,' according to an administrative message from the Navy.(Snip)'Issued maternity uniforms may be worn throughout the period of required wear up to 12 months after receipt,' the NAVADMIN, short for all Navy specific administrative messages, said.
'Participant selection will occur on a first-come, first-served basis.
A new study finds that those who get a breakthrough COVID-19 infection after being fully vaccinated may acquire 'super immunity' from another infection. The small study compared 26 vaccinated staff at Oregon Health & Science University who had breakthrough infections to people who were vaccinated but never got the coronavirus. The breakthrough group saw a surge in antibodies.
'The increases were substantial, up to a 1,000 percent increase and sometimes up to 2,000 percent, so it's really high immunity,' said study author Fikadu Tafesse, a molecular microbiology and immunology professor at OHSU in Portland, Oregon. 'It's almost "super immunity."'
Washington—More than 12,000 military service members refusing the COVID-19 vaccine are seeking religious exemptions, and so far they are having zero success. That total lack of approvals is creating new tensions within the military, even as the vast majority of the armed forces have gotten vaccinated. The services, urgently trying to keep the coronavirus pandemic in check by getting troops vaccinated, are now besieged with exemption requests they are unlikely to approve. Meanwhile, troops claiming religious reasons for avoiding the shots are perplexed because exemptions are theoretically available, yet seem impossible to obtain.(Snip)In addition to discussions with chaplains to determine whether they have a “sincerely held belief,”
Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd.(Snip)By the way: Brick Church is a preschool.
Hillary Clinton was on television Sunday promoting her new political thriller State of Terror—which she admitted is based on her 2016 rival, former President Donald Trump. In her third interview this month, the former first lady accused Trump of 'masterminding' the January 6 Capitol riot and said he was a 'danger' to the country.
Her recent media blitz has fueled rumors that Clinton is testing the waters for her own re-election bid after repeatedly calling a potential Trump 2024 ticket a threat to democracy. This morning, CNN host Fareed Zakaria asked about claims her new novel is a 'thinly veiled attack on President Trump.'
Joe Biden's chief medical advisor on Sunday contradicted the vice president, who had claimed that no one saw the Omicron variant coming. 'We did. We definitely saw variants coming,' said Dr Anthony Fauci, after being read out Kamala Harris's quote. On Friday she told The Los Angeles Times: 'We didn't see Delta coming. I think most scientists did not—upon whose advice and direction we have relied—didn't see Delta coming.(Snip)'But we certainly were anticipating that there were going to be variants. Because when you have so much replication going on in the community, if you give a virus enough opportunity to replicate you know
Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed that he has tested positive for COVID-19. May, 74, said he and his wife, Anita Dobson, had been “incredibly careful” and had been acting “very hermit-like” throughout the pandemic, but decided to go out to a birthday lunch for a friend earlier this month where all guests provided negative COVID-19 tests. “It seemed like you were in a safe situation. You have your negative tests… What could possibly go wrong?(Snip)But by Monday, the lead guitarist said that he and his wife had begun experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. “We’re testing the whole time and we’re testing negative.
New Orleans—New Orleans is expanding its proof-of-vaccination requirements to fight the spread of COVID-19 to include children as young as age 5. The expansion, which takes effect Jan. 3, was announced Thursday by Mayor LaToya Cantrell. Under the city’s mandate, entry into restaurants, health clubs, bars and numerous other public venues requires proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. The requirements already cover children as young as 12. Under the expansion, children ages 5 to 11 will have to have a negative test or proof of at least one dose of vaccine in January. Full vaccination or a negative test will be required
Saturday night may not be so live from New York this week. The Post has learned that “Saturday Night Live” was on the verge of canceling tonight’s final episode of the iconic sketch show’s 2021 season due to an in-house outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases. A set insider has revealed that “four actors” have tested positive for coronavirus—and “three others” have called out because they are now “fearful” about coming to NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Center, where the weekly sketch show is filmed in Midtown. Although some set sources claimed executive producer Lorne Michaels, 77, had tested positive, others have denounced that
Horseshoe crabs have been around for 450 million years, surviving mass extinctions and several ice ages, but conservationists say the creatures could soon go extinct because their bright blue blood is vital to pharmaceutical companies.
The blue blood has immune cells, known as Limulus polyphemus (LAL), which are sensitive to toxic bacteria and can be used to test vaccines and drugs for dangerous bacterial toxins before products hit the market.
The coveted blood has been used for nearly 20 years and has been vital tool in testing the coronavirus vaccines currently on the market. Scientists drain the horseshoe crabs of their blood and return them to the ocean,

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., announced Sunday that she has tested positive for COVID-19. Warren, who said she is vaccinated against the virus, shared that she tested positive for a "breakthrough case" on Sunday after testing negative earlier in the week as she is subjected to regular testing. "Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms and am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated and boosted," she said. Massachusetts is reporting a daily average of 5,126 new COVID-19 cases and 74% of its population is fully vaccinated, while Washington D.C., a daily average of 360
MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch predicted Friday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for “bank fraud, mail fraud, and insurance fraud.”Deutsch said, “I met with Michael Cohen a couple of weeks ago. He is doing well, out of house arrest, and he seems to think things are really moving along.”When asked what investigators Cohen is speaking with, Deutsch said, “Cy Vance’s people, both, both the attorney general and the district attorney. He has met over a dozen times.
In roughly three weeks, the New York state legislature will vote on Bill A416, which will give the New York governor (in this case, the power-mad Kathy Hochul), as well as the governor’s delegates (i.e., New York’s administrative state) the power to indefinitely detain anyone the governor or her agencies deem a “significant threat to public health.” (snip) the governor has the power to “order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons” with just a single order (reasonably specific) to detain people “in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises....”
White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Sunday said he does not believe we are ever going to reach a point where Americans won’t be required to wear masks on airplanes due to Covid-19 concerns.
ABC News This Week host Jonathan Karl asked Fauci about comments from several of the CEOs of top airlines that “you are actually safer than you are in an ICU” on a plane because of the filtration systems on flights. Karl asked if we will reach a point where we don’t have to wear masks on airplanes.
“I don’t think so,” Fauci said. “I think when you’re dealing with a close space,
As we approach the first anniversary of the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, we — all of us former senior military officials — are increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk.
In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time.
President Joe Biden on Saturday announced a list of his 2021 accomplishments amid 40-year high inflation, the southern border and supply chain crises, and Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
1.) Biden first touted vaccine distribution. Though the 2020 Biden campaign cast doubt on President Trump’s vaccination development program, Operation Warp Speed, Biden named his top success in 2021 as fully vaccinating 71 million Americans, Axios first reported.
Biden highlighted the fact that in December of 2020, only one percent of Americans had been jabbed
NEW JERSEY -- New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has tested positive for COVID, he said on Sunday. In a statement, Booker said he first started feeling symptoms on Saturday, and his symptoms are relatively mild. The statement reads, "I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday. Fortunately, my symptoms are relatively mild. I'm beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster -- I'm certain that without them I would be doing much worse. I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated and boosted."

The Department of Defense is now facing a religious freedom lawsuit after they managed to create a problem for a Christian-owned company where one did not exist for over 23 years.Shields of Strength has been told they can no longer offer their military branded dog tags with bible verses – something they have been doing without issue since 1997. The biblical inspired products are so popular that President George W. Bush even requested one in 2003 to honor the first soldier from Operation Iraqi Freedom who was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, CPT Russell Rippetoe, according to their counsel’s website.
Democrats, media pundits, and Hollywood stars threw tantrums on social media on Sunday after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told Fox News Sunday that he would not vote for President Joe Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” bill. Rolling Stone, for instance, published an article titled: “Joe Manchin Just Tore Out the Heart of Biden’s Agenda.” It went on to explain: “Build Back Better was the centerpiece of Biden’s domestic plans.” Now it is unlikely to pass the Senate.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) has advanced a bill in the state legislature that would codify her executive orders limiting transgender athletes to competing only in categories that correspond to their birth gender.
Noem filed the bill on Tuesday to limit K-12 girl’s school sports and state-funded colleges to allowing only natural-born girls to compete in girl’s categories, according to the Argus Leader.
The governor issued her two executive orders in March after the legislature rejected her revisions of House Bill 1217.
