I want to add a few notes to my Christmas weekend column on the Census Bureau's July 2021 state population estimates and what stories they tell about growth and decline in the first 15 months of the coronavirus pandemic.THE IMMIGRATION BUST -The big news is about immigration. In the years from 2010 to 2019, the Census Bureau recorded an increase in "international migration" -- immigration, in layman's language -- of 873,000.For the 15 months from April 2020 to July 2021, the corresponding number is only 257,000 -- down 71% from the average of the years from 2010 to 2019. Presumably, that does not include most of the additional illegal

Partygoers have begun arriving at New York City's Times Square for its annual New Year's celebrations - as the Empire State recorded a record 76,555 new COVID cases. Spectators were seen preparing for tonight's world-famous ball drop in Times Square from Friday afternoon, although it will be a reduced crowd after outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed last week that the typical crowd of 58,000 spectators will be cut down to just 15,000. They'll all have to show proof of COVID vaccines and wear masks. They'll be penned in for the duration of the event, and are unable to leave without forfeiting their place in the enclosure.

The doll's backstory, written in two short volumes by 'The Great Wall of Lucy Wu' author Wendy Shang, takes place in the exclusive Colorado ski town. There, Corinne Tan and her younger sister Gwynn - the toy company's first 'little sister' doll - ski and skate, adjust to their parents' recent divorce and move to a more posh part of town with their new stepdad.

Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive.The high-end German automaker removed the ad in deference to the Chinese from the social media network Weibo on Dec. 25 after a massive blowup over the “slanted eyes” issue.“Is there any beauty in this makeup?” one incensed critic wrote, according to the Global Times. “It is not [open for] interpretation.

President Joe Biden's inaugural address pledged to "repair our alliances and engage with the world once again." The United States, Biden proclaimed, would "be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security."This has not happened. Instead, Biden's foreign policy has oscillated between chaos and weakness. The Afghanistan debacle looms largest here.
