Amid low approval ratings and continued press attention on her role, Vice President Kamala Harris has turned to another powerful woman who clashed with critics, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for guidance. And she has concluded she would get better treatment in the media if she were white and male like all of her predecessors, telling her allies as much. Harris has contended with departing aides and gripes about her leadership style, amid complaints from within her circle about that difficult tasks she has been assigned, including dealing with 'root causes' of the border crisis.

Seattle—Some residents who live in the Northgate area of North Seattle are calling on City Hall to take action on a nearby encampment that has been the site of recent blazes that have raised concern among some residents. Billie Wildrick and Joshua Carter say they heard propane tanks exploding during a recent fire at the encampment located right off the ramp of Interstate 5 near Northgate Way.(Snip)“I have great empathy for these people," said Karen Gardner, landlord of the building. adding that over the past year, there’s been a shooting, growing piles of trash and drug dealing. “I cannot stand this anymore because it is a great danger
A sex offender freed from prison earlier this year after 35 years behind bars victimized two women in under two hours in separate “terrifying” attacks in Queens last week, prosecutors said Friday.
Ralph Toro, 62, was arrested Wednesday at the Holiday Inn Express in Corona—a hotel for recently released registered sex offenders—for a midday Dec. 17 knife-point sexual assault of a 51-year-old woman in the elevator of a building at 62nd Drive and 108th St. in Forest Hills. But prosecutors revealed Friday that just an hour before Toro attacked the 51-year-old, he tried to attack a 28-year-old woman at knife-point
Memphis, in line with many major cities in the U.S., is in the throes of heightened violence—spurred by myriad factors with pandemic and non-pandemic origins. On Thursday, Memphis police reported 333 homicides, meaning the city has officially passed the grim record set in 2020 of 332 homicides. Of those 333 homicides occurring this year—292 are classified as murders. The remainder of the deaths fall into categories such as justified homicides or instances of negligent manslaughter. Within the record number includes a subset of at least 29 youth under 18-years-old killed both intentionally and through negligence. The year has included the familiar rush for explanations and solutions
New Jersey public schools could be required to infuse the history of Asian American and Pacific Islanders into their curriculum beginning with the 2022-23 school year. A bill that would make it mandatory for inclusion in K-12 curriculum statewide cleared both houses in the State Legislature this month and awaits action by Gov. Phil Murphy. New Jersey would become the second state to require it (Illinois is the first), and similar bills are being considered in eight other states.(Snip)Advocates fast-tracked the measure in response to a spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders since the beginning of the pandemic.
Here we go again. With escalating live performance cancellations in the face of a surge in COVID-19 cases, the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Wednesday excerpts from Handel’s Messiah at the Kimmel Center went on despite formidable COVID-19-related challenges that had the orchestral pivoting in ways that were unthinkable two years ago. Thursday night’s performance was canceled. Orchestra spokeswoman Ashley Berke on Thursday declined to answer specific questions about the health status of performers. The orchestra is pursuing contact tracing within the group of Messiah musicians, she said, and canceled Thursday night’s performance as a precaution.
The Cherry Hill Mall is continuing a holiday tradition this year with a restriction on unaccompanied juveniles on Dec. 26, typically one of the busiest days of the year. Heather Crowell, an executive vice president of PREIT, which also owns the Moorestown and Cumberland malls in New Jersey, and Fashion District Mall in Center City, Philadelphia, said Wednesday the restrictions would be in place again this year.(Snip)Three years ago, up to 1,000 youths, mostly teens, were in the middle of melees that closed the mall around midday the day after Christmas. Some shoppers were stuck inside of stores after workers locked doors and grates as chaos ensued before police
More than 1,000 American passengers will spend Christmas Day stuck aboard a cruise ship after authorities in the western Mexico state of Jalisco blocked them from disembarking because 21 crew members have tested positive for COVID-19. The Holland America Line ship sailed off from San Diego on Sunday with stops in the Mexican resort cities of Los Cabos and Mazatlán before it arrived on the coast of Puerto Vallarta on Thursday at approximately 7.30am. The Jalisco state health department considered allowing each of the 1,035 passengers off the MS Koningsdam, which has at least 873 crew, as long as they turned in proof of negative COVID-19 tests,
Santa Claus is too white, too straight and too male for most young people in the UK today, according to a poll. The modern depiction of Father Christmas as an old white man with a big bushy beard who wears a red and white suit was made globally famous by Coca Cola’s adverts of the 1930s. A survey by YouGov has now found that 60 per cent of 18–24-year-olds in the UK think it is ‘acceptable’ for Santa to be gay. But 41 per cent across all age groups said it was not OK, including 17 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual respondents.
Washington—The U.S. will lift travel restrictions to eight southern African countries on New Year’s Eve, the White House announced Friday. The restrictions, imposed last month, were meant to blunt the spread of the COVID-19 omicron variant. The Nov. 29 ban barred nearly all non-U.S. citizens who had recently been in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. White House spokesman Kevin Munoz said on Twitter that the decision was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Munoz said the temporary travel bans bought scientists necessary time to study the new virus variant and conclude that the current vaccinations are effective
Furious Tory MPs today demanded the NHS clarifies how many Covid patients are primarily being treated for the virus amid concerns that the figures are being inflated by routine testing.
Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith told MailOnline the issue of whether people are being hospitalised 'with' or 'for' Covid was 'really important' for working out how much pressure the NHS faces.(Snip)MailOnline analysis of NHS England figures suggests two-thirds of new coronavirus admissions in the last fortnight arrived at hospital for a different ailment.(Snip)But just 197 (35 per cent) were being primarily treated for Covid, with the remaining 366 (65 per cent) only testing positive
A parent told President Joe Biden 'Let's Go Brandon!' during the NORAD Santa Tracker event with First Lady Jill Biden at the White House complex on Friday. The first couple hosted kids and their parents in the South Court Auditorium and talked to people virtually. A dad named Jared beaming in from Oregon said 'Merry Christmas' and 'Let's Go Brandon'—code on the right for 'f**k Joe Biden'—after his kids told the president what they wanted from Santa Claus. Reporters in the room said that Biden seemed unphased. 'Go Brandon, I agree,' the president said in response. Earlier, the president made a surprise visit to Children's National Hospital
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia has confirmed to multiple outlets that Washington Football Team defensive back and special teamer Deshazor Everett was the driver in a fatal car accident Thursday night. According to the release from the Sheriff’s Office, Everett was driving a 2010 Nissan GT-R around 9:15 p.m., when the vehicle “left the right side of the roadway, struck several trees, and rolled over.” Olivia Peters, a 29-year-old woman from Las Vegas, was the passenger in the vehicle.

What Do We Do with the FBI Now?
53 replies
The events of the past five or six years have demonstrated to America that the FBI is no longer the unbiased law enforcement agency it once was. (snip) There are only two options: rehabilitate the FBI, or eliminate it. The current state is unacceptable in a functioning constitutional republic.(snip) The DoJ has not only failed to provide course correction to the FBI, it has arguably contributed to the problems. The rebuilding of the FBI should be overseen by a board chartered with the mission of rehabilitation, and staffed with people who care about integrity and understand what a well-functioning police organization should look like.

“Christmas Amid a Winter of Death”
in The East Room 32 replies
Leftism is driven by committee advice; it’s how the echo-chambering communal groupthink works. After the White House COVID “Winter of Death” messaging was ridiculed and ignored by almost everyone in the general public, the communications team quickly went back to the drawing board. You can almost hear Ron Klain instructing the team to find ways to avoid the ‘Grinch team‘ labeling. However, the ordinary emotional disposition of leftists and Democrats, writ large, is depressing, angry and negative, the result from a lifetime of blame casting.

of Democrats Don’t Believe in ‘Natural Immunity’ 30 replies
Rasmussen Reports recently conducted a nationwide survey with questions on vaccinated immunity and natural immunity after a recommendation by Becker News. “I wonder if you polled Democratic (and R, I) voters, how many would call Natural Immunity a myth?” I asked. “How many would say it is false you can get Natural Immunity from a Prior Infection?”
Rasmussen Reports was benevolent enough to ask these timely questions in a survey and release the crosstabs to Becker News before official publication. The results? Fascinating.

According to a recent report, Amazon is aware that many owners of its Alexa devices are not using them after as little as two weeks of use. According to internal documents viewed by Bloomberg, as many as 25 percent of Amazon’s smart home assistants become expensive paperweights just weeks after being activated. A recent report from Bloomberg reveals that Amazon knows that users of its Alexa devices are not utilizing the full capabilities of the smart home assistant, and often are becoming bored with the device as quickly as two weeks after getting it.

Christmas without Rush Limbaugh
29 replies
Millions of us are experiencing a terrible void in the absence of Rush Limbaugh this Christmas. Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” contains a character soliciting charitable donations, who reminds Scrooge that “want and grief are both felt keenly during this festive season.” Though critics (most of whom never listened to him) will never understand, Rush Limbaugh was undeniably loved by so many of us. As we celebrate what may be the last shared American tradition, Christmas, Rush’s absence is palpably felt — his voice is being missed.
I regret to inform you that Joe Biden is stumping for tyranny again. But before we get to the president, let’s engage in a thought experiment.Imagine a world in which Republicans control all three branches of the government, and in this world, there’s a national election coming. Further, the Republicans are heavily favored to lose. Now, imagine that the GOP then spit on centuries of precedent and introduced a federal takeover of the voting system in order to try to rig that election. Lastly, when they failed to pass it via traditional legislative means, they then moved to change the rules of the Senate in order to pass it anyway.

Putin Vows To Protect Russia From West’s
“Gender Obscurantism” 23 replies
During his marathon annual year-end press conference Q&A, which this year lasted about four hours, Russian President Vladimir Putin once again vowed to defend Russian society against the intrusion of the corrupted values of the West, in particular blasting the “gender obscurantism” pushed by the United States and Europe.
“I am a proponent of the traditional approach that a woman is a woman and a man is a man,” Putin laid out, which it goes without saying also reflects basic Biology 101 and humans’ self-understanding for thousands upon thousands of years. He continued in the remarks on gender: “A mother is a mother, a father is a father. And I hope
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that all new cars that aren’t electric must average 55 miles per gallon by 2026.
This amounts to a Great Leap Forward of almost 20 miles per gallon from the currently ordered 36 miles per gallon that all new cars must achieve, else their manufacturers be punished for making them via “gas guzzler” fines applied to them.
Which are then passed on to the people who buy them. Which makes it progressively more difficult to afford them.
That being the point of the fines, you understand.
The Biden administration considers it their right and duty to punish you for buying the car you want

Many churches across the U.S. are canceling some or all in-person Christmas services amid yet another surge in COVID cases that have put a damper on people’s holidays for a second year.
Among those churches were Washington National Cathedral in the nation's capital; St. John the Divine, the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York; and the historic Old South Church in Boston.(Snip)Other churches are planning outdoor services or proposed a hybrid of online and in-person worship, often imposing tight restrictions for those in attendance. These included requirements to wear masks and show proof of COVID-19 vaccinations.
President Trump gave an interview to Candace Owens for The Daily Wire. The full interview is only available for subscribers; however, there is a segment released by Mrs. Owens where Donald Trump talks about the specifics of his position on the vaccine and the mandates. (snip) …the issue of the vaccines overall, and the mandate specifically, President Trump’s position seems quite pragmatic and reasonable. He’s proud to have developed the vaccines, believes they are of benefit, but strongly respects individual choice, liberty and the freedom to decide for yourself and your family. I don’t see anything controversial in this position.

A White man would have been drummed out of office by now. Kamala, the superannuated escort who was selected as VP solely on the basis of pretending to be an African-American when indeed she is an Indo-Caribbean descendent of slaveowners, is granted a free pass by the press for her arrogant, densely stupid, nasty, cackling demeanor specifically because she's a "woman of color," and they want "women of color" to succeed. Kamala of course is too arrogant, densely stupid, and nasty to grasp any of this, and so she cackles and whines.
