Thousands gathered on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro last night as billions ushered in the New Year around the world, despite Omicron concerns putting a dampener on the revelry in a second year of muted celebrations.Brazil's usual celebrations that attract hundreds of thousands were toned down slightly this year — with just a 16 minute fireworks display to entertain crowds and no live music shows in Rio — although huge crowds still turned up at the beach to celebrate. Russia's Red Square was closed from 5pm in a bid to halt the spread of Covid, while In Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building was illuminated by fireworks

As lame as their reportage usually is, the Daily Mail always has the best pictures.

A family member is a retired airline pilot. Since pilots can choose which routes to 'bid on' (request for coming month of flying, but selection is based on seniority of pilots), the flight to Rio was chosen, thinking it would be a beautiful place to visit. The reports were that Copacabana Beach is (was?) the dumping site for untreated city sewage, and at that time, at least, about 15 years ago, the smell would almost knock you down, and there were literal turds rolling in the surf. Not exactly the image you get from hearing the beautiful "The Girl from Ipanema" song. Ran out the month, never bid on Rio again, said the whole place was nasty, dirty, run down and covered in graffitti, and stank. Only the insides of the major hotels was nice. So much for us wanting to vacation there.....

Quite a contrast between the celebrants on Copacabana Beach and those in Times Square. Massless happy people, not obsessed with Covid, in Brazil. Masked and mandatorily vaxxed people in New York. Here in Palm Springs I went to a party, filled to the brim with maskless people who didn’t know each other, couldn’t care less about vaccine status, all indoors. Most probably vote Democrat but for even them Covid is sooo over.

Happy New Year to all at Lucianne. I happened to be in a city on the south coast of Puerto Rico for business back in the late 70s on New Year's Eve. The hotel was high on a hill, on a headland, an my room overlooked the beach and harbor area from about half a mile away. At midnight the fireworks started, really impressive.....and continued, and continued, and CONTINUED. THE longest fireworks display I have ever seen. It went on for 50 minutes continuously, at a high level. Amazing. The next day I asked some of the locals, and they explained that the local Bacardi distillery put on the fireworks each year. Best and LONGEST fireworks display I have ever seen, although some of the Sidney Harbor videos have been extremely innovative and artistic. The Bacardi show was not so choreographed as the modern computer controlled displays, but was a huge, wonderful and LONG display.

In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.. George Orwell, Politics and the English Language. Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, a member of the progressive “squad,” recently accused those who disagree with student debt cancellation of "policy violence." That is, to disagree with the left now is “violence.” This kind of linguistic legislation by the left is now common. Words mean whatever they want them to mean in order to achieve their far-left goals.Pressley’s statement is also an implied threat. Since violence is justified in response to violence, Pressley is letting American’s know what is coming if they do not get their way.

White people infected with COVID in New York State—the hardest hit state in the country—are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments.

With no trial date in sight, he and his fellow inmates languish in a jail they say is inhumane. The J6 prisoners’ complaints about filthy conditions and inhumane treatment resulted in a surprise inspection that found everything they were saying was true. As a result, over 400 prisoners were moved to different facilities—none of them J6 prisoners. Lang has been in contact with PJ Media and several other media sources

The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Friday he was confident the pandemic will end in 2022 "if we end inequity" and spread vaccine wealth, urging nations to better cooperate on battling the coronavirus. In a New Year's address, Tedros said the tools were available to end the pandemic as the world enters its third year of the pandemic. But he argued that "narrow nationalism" and "vaccine hoarding" was preventing the pandemic from coming to an end, and led to the emergence of the highly transmissible omicron variant.

A business owner in Salem, Oregon, painted a mural honoring the American flag and the Marines who raised it at Iwo Jima. Most observers considered it a beautiful memorial and an attractive use of an otherwise nondescript wall. The owner of the business commissioned a local artist to create the tasteful and fetching display of patriotism. The Salem City Council has ordered him to remove it, or face fines of up to $200 per day. The artist, Mario De Leon, raised the alarm in a Facebook post: What’s up everybody. The city of Salem is forcing @valleyroofingoregon to remove the mural I painted or to give the mural to the Salem art society.
The Cruise Ship Industry Learns a Valuable

The cruise ship industry has been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, much of their pain and suffering has been self-inflicted, driven by their mindless following of pointless federal dictates. That has most noticeably manifested itself in the implementation of so-called “vaccine passports.” Of course, vaccine passports do not actually accomplish anything. New York City not only has a vaccine passport system, but they also have a vaccine mandate. Still, they lead the nation in new coronavirus cases as of this writing. But the fact that everyone spreads COVID — and that vaccine passports made no sense — is not new information. And when Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida

Almost as transmissible as measles which is probably the most common highly transmissible infectious agent that we know. So the message is if you don’t want to get COVID, keep your gatherings really small. Surround yourself with vaccinated people. This is not the year for big New Year’s parties.
