A Brooklyn Park man was charged Thursday after a hit-and-run crash over the weekend that critically injured a pedestrian, court records show.
Phonsavanh Vongphouthone, 35, is charged with felony criminal vehicular operation with greater bodily harm in regard to a crash in Crystal Saturday evening.
According to a criminal complaint, police responded to Crystal Airport Road and County Road 81 on a report of a man hit by a vehicle and lying in the street.
Alternate headline: Joe Manchin knows how to bring home the media bacon! Punchbowl keeps tabs on political spending in key states, and claims that political activists have spent at least $10 million in West Virginia to either influence Manchin, bully him, or prepare the ground for a 2024 challenge to the incumbent Democrat.
What have progressives gotten for the cash? Not much, as Manchin has largely stuck to his positions regardless, but Mountain State TV and radio stations must be loving this:
Over the last year, we’ve noticed a big chunk of issue ads targeting Manchin back home. The reasons here are obvious: He’s the critical Democratic vote on nearly every issue

Fox News pulled off a remarkable turnaround in 2021. The long-dominant network began the year with a historic run at third place in the January ratings but has since rebounded in a dramatic fashion.
Despite its slow start, Fox is set to finish 2021 – for the sixth year in a row – as the number one channel on basic cable, which will also mark its 20th straight year as the number one network in cable news. Fox News Media’s CEO Suzanne Scott boasted in a statement that it is the only cable news network to show growth in a year in which everyone lost viewers en mass.

An Atlanta UPS delivery driver left a sweet message for a stranger and is receiving that kindness back in a way he never imagined.
Twenty-four-year-old Dallen Harrell was making a delivery not long ago in a Roswell neighborhood when he saw a house with a big stork lawn sign announcing that a boy had just been born, WSB-TV reported Thursday.
Harrell deposited the boxes and also left a heartfelt message on the family’s Nest security camera.
“If this is the ‘It’s a Boy’ house … I hope all is going well with your newborn,” he commented, adding, “I had a child at around the same time you guys did,
A fourth jab could now be rolled out early to millions of Britons after a new study showed protection against Omicron wanes within three months of a booster. People infected with the contagious variant are 70 per cent less likely to end up in hospital, an official analysis of real-world cases has confirmed. But the analysis from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also reveals that immunity from boosters fades more quickly against Omicron compared to Delta. Those who received two AstraZeneca doses, plus a Pfizer or Moderna booster, have 60 per cent protection against Omicron for two to weeks after the third jab. But after ten weeks,
Democratic Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has jumped onto a tweet sent by former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton that went viral earlier this week. In the tweet, Bratton—who worked under outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio—showed several homeless people sleeping on a subway train. 'You know why NY's 'recovery' isn't happening? This photo today on the E Train at 6:45am at 42nd & 8th says it all,' he wrote. 'Why should working people & tourists be subjected to this? How's it fair to those who need services?

After spending much of Biden’s term in relative hiding, Kamala Harris has made a lot of news lately. Unfortunately for her, none of it has been good.
From blowing up on podcast hosts to claims that racism and sexism are driving her approval down, it’s been one conflict after another for the vice president. And to put it mildly, she’s handled none of it well. That’s probably why she’s doing an interview on CBS News this Sunday. When nothing else is working, get out in front of the bad news, I suppose.
And while most of the interview is under embargo for several more days, we are getting some leaked snippets.
American writer Joan Didion died at age 87 Thursday from Parkinson’s disease, her publisher confirmed. She died in her New York home.

Working at the White House is a high-stress job, no doubt. It’s also the kind of job that encourages burnout after a couple of years given the workload and pressures.
But Politico is reporting that there is a mass exodus of White House aides brewing, and it’s not entirely due to burnout.
The Politico report comes the same month in which an article detailing turmoil and high turnover in Vice President Kamala Harris’s office appeared.
Turnover in White House staff after the first year is expected. Some aides only take the job to pad their resumes. Others use the White House as a stepping stone
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is altering the rules for when health workers who test positive for COVID-19 can return to the job, saying such workers can return after seven days in isolation instead of 10.
The change comes as the U.S. braces for a new wave of coronavirus cases from the heavily contagious omicron variant, which is expected to put new stress on the U.S. health care system.
In a statement, the CDC said that it is recommending a seven-day isolation and quarantine period for workers in that field.

Omicron Death In Texas, But Hospital Says
NOT TRUE replies
Earlier this week CNN falsely reported that an unvaccinated Texas Man became the first American to die from the Omicron variant. Unfortunately, it appears the Fake News network reported false information again, which in this case, has caused a lot of Americans undue stress as families are scheduled to celebrate Christmas together. Health authorities in Texas are rejecting the story, saying instead the man died with, not because of the COVID variant.
The wait is over. Almost two full weeks after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released their knee-heavy Middle Eastern-themed Christmas card, the Sussexes have finally settled on their stoop and published their own end-of-year tableau of domestic bliss. And it’s truly very nice, if you like that sort of thing.
What a year it’s been for Britain’s unofficial ambassadors to Santa Barbara. An annus dramaticus, if that’s a word, which it is not. The Sussexes’ 2021 started with a declaration that they will not be returning as working royals and would instead prefer a quiet life in California – a pledge they instantly underscored by conducting an exclusive, marmalade-dropping interview
Boston's Emerson College has instructed students living in halls of residence on campus to stay in their rooms apart from eating, collecting mail or to get tested for covid-19. The new rules come into force on January 3rd and apply to all students even if they have been fully vaccinated including receiving their booster shots.
The college hopes that the 'stay in room directive' will help curb the spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus. 'The campus will operate in a 'stay in room directive' through January 18.(Snip)Students should avoid any large gatherings and not leave campus or their residence except for those situations listed above,'
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar said that he's done trying to work with Vice President Kamala Harris on border issues. 'I say this very respectfully to her: I moved on,' Cuellar told The New York Times. 'She was tasked with that job, it doesn't look like she's very interested in this, so we are going to move on to other folks that work on this issue.' Cuellar's gripes originated when Harris said she'd be visiting the border in June and a phone call from his office to hers went unreturned.
Philadelphia doesn’t have much of an Afghan population. But it’s about to get one, fueled by the local resettlement of hundreds of evacuees from among the 50,000 now living on U.S. military bases.
The leaders of a new group, Afghans of Philadelphia (AOP), say they’re prepared—to help and to lead and, most of all, to seize this moment of change to forge a cohesive, vibrant and involved Afghan community. Already they’ve jumped in to assist, translating for Afghans arriving at Philadelphia International Airport—more than 28,000 people and counting—and collecting winter gear for the 11,000 evacuees housed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in South Jersey.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally shared the first photo of their daughter Lilibet Diana, six months after she was born, for their Christmas card.The family image shows Meghan, 40, holding up their giggling daughter, while smiling Harry, 37, looks on with his arm around their two-year-old son Archie in the portrait by Alexi Lubomirski, who shot the couple's engagement photos and the official family portraits on their wedding day. Archie, who looks just like his dad with a shock of red hair, is casually dressed in jeans like the rest of the family, and his face is on show.
Joe Biden says he's tempted by the prospect of an election rematch against Donald Trump in 2024.The president, who'll be weeks from his 82nd birthday on Election Day in three years, has previously said he expects to run but left open another possibility in an interview with ABC News' David Muir.Asked if he will seek reelection in an exclusive sit-down at the White House, Biden said, "yes," but then added, "I'm a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If I'm in the health I'm in now, in good health, then in fact I would run again."

Big Pharma company Pfizer recently bought another pharmaceutical company specializing in producing heart medication. Coincidentally, some of these heart medications can counteract the heart problems caused by Pfizer’s Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine.
Pfizer recently signed an agreement with Arena Pharmaceuticals to purchase the company. Arena is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm based in San Diego that specializes in developing immuno-inflammatory treatments. At the time of its acquisition, Arena was also expanding its capabilities “to study cardiovascular conditions like acute heart failure and microvascular obstruction.”
Arena’s current portfolio indicates that it has several development-stage pharmaceuticals developed for gastroenterological, dermatological and – most importantly for Pfizer – cardiological use.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was forced to defend her boss Joe Biden on Thursday amid questions over the timing of his COVID-19 test expansion and accusations that he acted too late to stop massive delays in testing and results just two days before Christmas. Hours later a report emerged in Vanity Fair that the Biden administration had reject a roadmap to getting at-home rapid COVID tests to every American to avoid the holiday surge currently wreaking havoc on people's Christmas plans. The ambitious blueprint called for 732 million monthly COVID tests—far more than what Biden promised would come in January.

As 2022 approaches, Democrats are privately and publicly expressing their frustration with two of their U.S. Senators who continue to back crucial legislation from passing. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) recently wrecked President Biden’s hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws by not supporting HR1 or ending the Senate filibuster. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) just crushed Biden’s hope of getting his Build Back Better (BBB) massive spending bill passed. Biden has been pushing to radically federalize elections, in spite of the Constitution.
I can remember the disappointment many Americans had when they were not able to publically celebrate News Years Eve, 2020, an exclamation mark for a year of COVID restrictions.Even with the 2020 elections still being contested by millions of Trump supporters at the start of the year, the overall hope for a majority of Americans was 2021 would be much better than 2020.Well, following a year of living under Biden’s progressive policies, half of Americans are calling 2021 the “worst year of their lives so far.”The survey of 1,000 adults — conducted by OnePoll on Dec. 13 — aimed to get an “end of year reflection” on many subjects
Before Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, he terrorized his local neighborhood for several years, leaving victims and their families with a lifetime's worth of trauma and suffering. Through court records and interviews with the victims, DailyMail.com can exclusively report that Wright had led a life of crime and violence before his death, having been involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and had previously assaulted and robbed a young woman at gunpoint.(Snip)'He's an evil human being. Worse than a monster, a waste of space on earth,' Jennifer LeMay told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
Police officers shot and killed a man who was waving a gun in public and firing the weapon, according to police.
The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. not far from FirstEnergy Stadium, where the Browns were playing the Ravens.
Jeff Follmer, the President of the C.P.P.A. (the police patrolman’s union) said the officers approached the suspect and told him to put the gun down, which he complied with, but he then picked the gun back up and started shooting at officers; the officers returned fire, striking the man.
A mom who thought her toddler loved meeting a mall Santa discovered he was signaling for help after looking at a snap of his encounter.
Kerry Spencer had taught her kids to baby sign before they could speak so they could communicate while they were infants. But she never expected 1-year-old son, Samuel, to use his skill to send out an SOS while sitting on Santa’s lap. Terrified, the toddler resorted to using his baby version of ASL to sign “Help” to his mom while the photographer at the Provo Town Center Mall in Provo, Utah, snapped a picture.

Minnesota has drafted in the National Guard to save the state's desperate nursing homes, crippled by staffing shortages and facing new pressures amid the rapid spread of the Omicron Covid variant.
Some 400 troops without any prior nursing experience are going through rapid-fire training at community colleges before being sent to long-term care facilities. Hospitals swamped by soaring Covid infections are in desperate need of functioning nursing homes to send patients who require long-term care—but the pandemic has put such pressure on staff that many carers have decided to quit.(Snip)Among their duties, the troops have been collecting bedpans, clipping toenails and feeding residents.

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also found that people infected with the new variant were 45 per cent less likely to turn up to A&E.
The official analysis confirms the findings of two independent studies published on Wednesday, which also used real world data to paint a less gloomy picture of the Christmas wave.

Police in San Antonio say their hope of finding the three-year-old girl who disappeared from an apartment complex playground three days ago is diminishing with every passing hour, despite a massive search effort and a $75,000 reward in place. Police and FBI agents have been working around the clock to locate Lina Sardar Khil, who was last seen at the Villa Del Cabo apartments on Monday evening. Police Chief William McManus previously said that the child vanished while her mother was away 'for a short time,' but the girl's father claimed that his daughter went missing after walking towards a nearby path while in her mother's care.

It’s fifty years now since I was at university and a great deal of my time there -- especially the weekends -- is long forgotten.
I do remember going with the intention of studying math and economics. At that time, and maybe still, there was a requirement, in the first year, to take other subjects. Whether this was to prevent specializing too soon or to provide a more rounded education or both I don’t know but, when my second year began one of those other subjects became all of my classes, either Modern History or Economic History.
It’s hard to say who is the bigger object lesson of the Trump resistance. Is it former Gov. Andrew Cuomo who briefly became the hero of the pandemic before falling under suspicion for lying about the death toll and for creating a hostile work environment for several of the women who worked for him. He wound up resigning, having lost the support of the people who’d once lionized him.
But Michael Avenatti arguably fell even farther. In 2018 he seemed to be on television almost every day. He became such a media rock star that there was briefly talk that he might run for president.
Donald Trump said Wednesday that people unvaccinated against coronavirus are the ones getting 'very sick' as he pushed back against conservative Candace Owens by claiming all Americans should get the jab while he again took credit for its creation.

'All are very, very good. Came up with three of them in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.'

Wen said, “I think what we will see with Omicron is a very large number of infections due to Covid-19.” She continued, “The question, though, is, are we going to see a decoupling of infections with hospitalizations and death? That would be ideal, the entire point of vaccination, the main point of vaccination, I should say, is to reduce severe illness. And so, if we’re able to avoid overwhelming our health care systems,
Counterfactuals, like "conspiracy theories," are frowned upon by those who look guilty when they are posed. Here are three to chew on during the holidays: (1) What if it turns out that the gene therapies marketed as "vaccines" by pharmaceutical companies end up causing more harm than good? What if it becomes obvious that more children die from government-ordered injections than would have ever succumbed to the virus itself? What if the long-term effects of any of these experimental treatments condemn the "vaccinated" to suffer from lifetime health complications created by compromised immune systems, making them more vulnerable to the very diseases the "vaccines" were mandated
I’m shocked.
I would have thought proper pandemic protocol is to find out beforehand whether someone is unvaccinated and then not invite them in the first place. Maybe call them up on video chat and give them a thumbs down to their face, in the manner of a Roman emperor. Really, though, what was Fauci supposed to say here? “Sure, roll the dice”? Dr. Fauci says Americans should ban their family members from holiday gatherings if they are unvaxxed: /snip for tweet/ There’s a new COVID variant spreading with insane speed. People with immunity seem to shake it off but it’s anyone’s guess how it behaves in the non-immune.

In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump be elected in 2024. The column seemed strangely timed to coincide with a storm of recent Democratic talking points that a re-elected Trump, or even a Republican sweep of the 2022 midterms, would spell a virtual end of democracy.Ironies abound. From Election Day in 2020 to Inauguration Day 2021, we were told by the Left that democracy was resilient and rightly rid the nation of Trump.

The Washington Post is having a rough one as it attempts to console those who followed all COVID-19 restrictions, got the jabs and the boosters, and are still catching the virus. There is a certain contingent of people who pride themselves on being double-gloved, double-masked, and double vaxxed just to go outside to get the mail. Thanks to the rampant new Omicron variant, even these people are coming down with COVID, and they appear to be having a difficult time coping with it. Apparently, now that everyone is catching it, including the “sophisticated” crowd, some sympathy for the sick is warranted.
In an appearance on the Fox News Channel, U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.) claimed that the Biden administration’s obsession with vaccine mandates and masking is all about misdirection and control, and that continued fear-mongering will be a way for Democrats to justify universal mail-in balloting in the 2022 election cycle. Along these lines, other pundits have maintained that for authoritarian Democrats in the COVID-19 pandemic, following the science means following the political science. Or as Dr. Oz, the GOP Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, has said repeatedly, “when you mix medicine and politics, you get politics.”

A large part of this issue of The New Criterion is devoted to a debate over the merits and limitations of what, for lack of a better term, has come to be called “common-good conservatism.” I say “for lack of a better term” because the phrase does seem to load the dice. Surely any plausible alternative to “common-good conservatism” would also seek to foster the common good.
The occasion for the debate is the essay printed below by Kim R. Holmes, a prolific author and for many years a senior official at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. Holmes describes and criticizes two strands of this new(ish) conservative impulse.

Rogel Aguilera-Mederos's 2019 accident was attributed not to the failure of his brakes, but entirely to a failure in his judgment over whether he could take an offramp (try doing that without brakes in a state of panic). As a result, the poor Cuban immigrant with no criminal record got a de facto death sentence
