President Biden won the White House on a pledge to crush the coronavirus through a commitment to science, testing for anyone who wants it, and a major vaccine sprint in his first 100 days in office. Things haven’t quite gone as planned. More than a year into the vaccine drive, and nearly 12 months since Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris memorialized 400,000 COVID-19 deaths on the eve of the inauguration, the U.S. is mourning another 400,000 lives lost to the disease and now battling another winter surge in the virus. Pandemic-weary Americans face a third calendar year in which offices are shuttered, Broadway shows are postponed
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is backing up a Jewish congressman’s incendiary claim that he heard protesters scream “Jew!” at him during a September event in New Jersey. Garden State Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer caused a stir during a Dec. 13 speech at Rutgers University in which he said he was set upon by anti-Semitic protesters on Sept. 20 as he and Raimondo made a series of stops in Bergen County promoting President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill. The pair were greeted by around 100 hecklers in Glen Rock—most of whom, Gottheimer claimed, came from the local chapter of the Working Families Party. The situation was intense enough
The USS Milwaukee has delayed its deployment to South America after sailors tested positive for COVID-19 on board. The Navy combat ship, which left Mayport, Fla., on Dec. 14, will remain docked at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where it stopped for a scheduled port visit.
The Navy did not specify how many sailors have tested positive, but said only some of those are showing mild symptoms. All have been isolated from the healthy crew. The Milwaukee’s crew is “100% immunized,” officials said. “The ship is following an aggressive mitigation strategy in accordance with the Navy and CDC guidelines,” the Navy said in a statement Friday.
Bronx businesswoman Nicole N’Diaye quickly realized New York’s 2014 legalization of medical cannabis offered few opportunities for entrepreneurs of color. “It was almost $220,000 to get the license, which no minority I know could afford,” recalled N’Diaye, a Black woman who opted for a less competitive 2018 license for cultivating hemp and CBD.(Snip)“You can imagine how hot Harlem is and how many people—nonresidents, not-harmed individuals—are interested in opening up dispensaries and other businesses in my community, because they just view us as consumers,” said Regina Smith, executive director of the Harlem Business Alliance, who is Black and a lifelong Harlem resident.
Vice President Kamala Harris conceded in a televised interview this week that her 'biggest failure' since taking office last January has been 'not getting out of DC more,' as she continues to face criticism for making just one visit to the southern border despite the worsening migrant crisis.(Snip)In the clip, Harris, 57, seems to laugh off the question at first, before admitting: 'To not get out of DC more.'(Snip)'You know, I, we, the president and I came in, you know, COVID had already started,' she continued. 'The pandemic had started. And when we came in we really couldn't travel.' 'You know, a large part of the relationship
The German tourist who survived a bloody knife attack outside Morningside Park the day before a reputed gangbanger allegedly murdered a Columbia University grad student is back home and “healing well.” Thomas Ambuhler, 43, needed 10 stitches in his neck after being ambushed by a stranger near the Columbia University campus in the wee hours of Dec. 1. He returned to Germany five days later.(Snip)Vincent Pinkney, 25, was arrested for the stabbing rampage that claimed the life of Columbia doctoral student Davide Giri, 30. Pinkney is also accused of later wounding visiting Italian Columbia scholar Roberto Malaspina and tangling with lawyer Gregory Johnson in Central Park.
City workers need spellcheck—in Alphabet City of all places.
Department of Transportation contractors somehow managed to misspell “MPH”—the acronym for “miles per hour”—eight times along Avenue B last week. “What quality control do they have? This is outside a kids’ school, too,” said Corey Umstead, a 25-year-old project manager who burst out laughing when asked about the error. “Like, learn to read—OK?” The outrageous error was flagged on Twitter to the DOT on Dec. 18: “heya the new speed limit notifications on recently re-paved Avenue B read “20 MHP”(note the inversion)!!!! I kid you not.”
Cops had to step in Friday as a crowd mobbed a Brooklyn corner where the city was giving away free at-home COVID-19 tests. Tempers flared as the larger-than-expected crowd descended on Flatbush and Church avenues, one of five spots in the Big Apple where city health officials were doling out tests amid a surge in demand over the holidays and lack of supply. Photos from the scene showed members of the crowd raising their voices and pointing fingers—and cops tried to calm them.(Snip)Angry New Yorkers have already been very vocal about delays at the sites, reporting long lines and inconsistent availability
Washington—Vice President Kamala Harris tested negative Friday for the coronavirus following her close contact earlier this week with an aide who later tested positive, her office said. Harris, who is spending the holidays in Los Angeles, had tested negative Wednesday after she was told that the aide who had accompanied her throughout the day Tuesday had tested positive. Her office said she would be tested again Friday. A pair of tests—a rapid test and a more sensitive laboratory test—found no trace of the coronavirus, her office said. Harris is fully vaccinated, has received a booster COVID-19 vaccine dose and is regularly tested under White House
NASA's revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope has begun its one million mile voyage into solar orbit after successful lift off following decades of planning and delays. Jubilant scientists and engineers shouted 'Go Webb, go!' as the telescope module detached from its rocket and floated off into space far above the earth's surface.(Snip)The telescope is named after the late James E. Webb, an American government official who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. NASA's decision to name the device after him was a controversial one–he has been accused of homophobia since his passing in 1992

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

The Mankato School Board in Minnesota in a blatantly racist move has unanimously voted to pay non-white teachers “additional stipends,” not on their merit or content of character, but solely based on the color of their skin, and for teaching staff to be segregated by race.Board members hotly defended the policy vote earlier this month claiming it wasn’t “segregation,” according to AlphaNews on Tuesday.“When you’re one [minority] of a [white] majority it can be very isolating and lonely,” declared board member Erin Roberts. “To have a support system in place for them is not to segregate them, it is absolutely to support them …
A really disturbing video from a Delta flight shows a furious woman chastising a fellow passenger for not wearing a mask while he was eating.
Except, the woman wasn’t wearing her mask either.
The footage shows the Karen shouting at a man behind her for not wearing a mask, then hitting him when he responded: “You put your mask on!”
Flight attendants tried to intervene, but the woman punched, scratched and spat on the man.

The Native American population in the U.S. grew by a staggering 86.5% between 2010 and 2020, according to the latest U.S. Census – a rate demographers say is impossible to achieve without immigration.
Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S.
As looting continues and lockdowns return, many retail companies have announced recently that they are shuttering some locations that have become simply too expensive to maintain.Major cities have been hit by a wave of “smash-and-grab” robberies, where organized groups of looters attack store employees and escape with thousands of dollars in merchandise. Organized retail theft now costs retailers across the country a grand total of about $65 billion per year.Meanwhile, some areas announced this month that they are again implementing stricter COVID restrictions, including mask and vaccine mandates,
President Joe Biden marked his first Christmas in office by making calls to military service members stationed around the world, offering them holiday wishes and gratitude for their service and sacrifice for the nation. Joined by First Lady Jill Biden, and their new puppy, Commander, the president on Saturday spoke via video to service members representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard, stationed at bases in Qatar, Romania, Bahrain. 'As your commander in chief, I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, thank you, thank you,' he told the service members.
Joe Biden and Mrs. Joe Biden were taking calls from children and their parents to NORAD (which “tracks” Santa Claus). One father, speaking in cheerful and respectful tones, ended the call by saying “Merry Christmas and let’s go, Brandon.” And to the delight of Biden’s tens of millions of detractors, Biden echoed those words and added, “I agree.” His supporters could argue that he was taking the air out of the phrase, but alternative explanations are that he couldn’t hide from the truth or that he was revealing yet another sign of dementia.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) released a Christmas message ahead of the holiday, reminding Americans how blessed they are to live in a country that “protects our right to celebrate the birth of Christ freely.”

COVELO, Calif. — Mexican drug cartels are muscling in on America's burgeoning multi-billion-dollar marijuana industry, illegally growing large crops in the hills and valleys of Northern California.
The state legalized marijuana in 2016 for adult recreational use, yet the black market continues to thrive with thousands of illegal grows. Criminal syndicates, in turn, are cashing in across the U.S. on the "green gold rush."
They're undercutting prices of legalized products offered by permitted farmers who follow the rules and pay taxes.

Jen Psaki would retort that if Biden seemed confused it's just because he works tirelessly trying to fix the many problems caused by Donald Trump, and if his administration never takes any responsibility at all for mismanaging The Great Pandemic, well, that's the MSM's fault for not asking them about it.
