I think this is going a bit too far with the generalizations,' one customer wrote

Australian drivers have taken inspiration from a 'Freedom Convoy' in Canada to drive to Canberra and protest against vaccine mandates—but Victoria's Premier has warned booster shots will soon be mandatory. Protesters from all around the country arrived in the nation's capital on Monday as part of the 'Convoy to Canberra' demonstration.
The convoy of cars between Pheasants Nest, NSW and the capital trailed for several kilometres.(Snip)It comes as Daniel Andrews warned booster shots may soon be required for Victorians to be considered fully-vaccinated. 'There has already been some mandating done for third doses, and there will be more,' Mr Andrews said on Sunday.
Kim Jong-un will not be ignored. Even with Europe braced for a shooting war in Ukraine, the Winter Olympics set to begin in China and a pandemic still uncontained, the North Korean leader is using a battery of missile firings to remind the world of the threat he poses and give President Biden another growing foreign policy headache to address. Pyongyang on Sunday test-fired what experts are calling the most powerful missile since Mr. Biden took office more than a year ago.(Snip)Analysts say Mr. Kim has grown increasingly frustrated with the new U.S. administration’s lack of outreach. Diplomacy on the peninsula has largely been on the back
Washington—The Internal Revenue Service says more people without children now qualify for a larger tax break. The Earned Income Tax Credit is the federal government’s largest refundable tax credit for low- to moderate-income families and those who qualify can reduce the amount of taxes they owe and get a bigger refund. In years past, the credit was for eligible, working families but now the age bracket has expanded for lower-income workers with no children also applying for it, according to the IRS.(Snip)“There are important changes to EITC that will help this credit reach more hard-working families this year,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig.
The Brooklyn public school teacher who posted an anti-cop Instagram post about the funeral of detective Jason Rivera is no longer an employee of the school. Coney Island Prep said on Sunday that Chris Flanigan, who appeared to encourage violence against cops mourning Rivera, no longer works for the school. “We do not condone or promote violence of any sort. As of this afternoon, Mr. Flanigan is no longer employed at Coney Island Prep,” Coney Island Prep CEO Leslie-Bernard Joseph said in a statement. “The teachers and staff of Coney Island Prep are public servants; and like all public servants we hold ourselves to a much higher standard,”
Hunter Biden and two business associates received a grand jury subpoena regarding their business dealings in China about 17 months before the 2020 presidential election, The Post has learned.
The order sent by the Department of Justice to JP Morgan Chase bank asked for the records of any international financial transactions for the past five years involving Hunter, his uncle James Biden and former business partners Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, according to federal documents. The anti-corruption nonprofit Marco Polo, founded by former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler, obtained the filing, which targets the financial ties between the four men and the Bank of China.
The US Treasury said on Friday it is considering alternatives to facial-recognition technology to verify identities for online taxpayer accounts after some lawmakers raised privacy concerns.
The $86 million partnership between the Internal Revenue Service and private contractor ID.me, which was announced in November, would be one of the biggest expansions of facial recognition software made by the US government. The measure has been met with criticism from lawmakers, who argue that the software is intrusive and inaccurate.
Representative Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, called the move a 'very, very bad idea, ' adding that facial recognition is less accurate with dark skin tones.
A same-sex penguin couple has become foster parents to a newborn hatchling in a first for an upstate New York zoo. Humboldt penguins Elmer and Lima first got together this past mating season, and built a nest together in the fall, which they have both defended from incoming predators. Their devotion to each other led officials at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to test how the two would be as parents, using a dummy egg, before letting them take care of a fertilized egg of their own.(Snip)Some prospective penguin parents either keep the egg next to them, rather than sit on it to keep it warm, or fight
Heriberto Fuerte-Padilla, an illegal immigrant, was driving drunk in 2020 when he smashed into the car driven by a Texas teenager, killing her. He tried to flee the scene, but police caught up with him. The Homeland Security Department initially said it wanted authorities to pick him up and deport him once Texas punished him, but then it changed its mind. Under rules issued in September by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Fuerte-Padilla doesn’t qualify as a priority anymore. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also told Texas that it was canceling deportation requests—known as “detainers”—on other illegal immigrants, including some who pleaded guilty to felony charges

The CDC COVID-19 record card you get with your vaccine is too large to fit in your wallet, yet small enough to be easily misplaced.
But the little cardboard cards are becoming increasingly important if you want to get out of the house, as venues in the Twin Cities and elsewhere require that they be shown if you want to see a show or dine out. As of Jan. 19, Minneapolis and St. Paul started requiring patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to dine in bars, restaurants and other places where food and drinks are served.(Snip)Blinged-up vaccine card holders allow you
Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said Sunday that a COVID-19 vaccine for children age 4 and under could be approved by early March. Gottlieb said the authorization would depend on whether federal officials move forward with Pfizer’s two-dose candidate, as opposed to the three-dose one added last month to the company’s clinical trials. The two-dose shot could presumably be approved the fastest of the two, since trials on it are further ahead, so it’s just a question of whether its potency is considered enough protection for the age group at this point, Gottlieb said. “Getting two doses into a child can provide baseline immunity that protects
Six people are charged with grabbing thousands of dollars in merchandise in front of stunned shoppers and employees at several Twin Cities retail outlets on Nov. 26, Black Friday. "This brazen act by an organized group shocked those who witnessed it first-hand as well as the retail community and law-abiding shoppers who were out making purchases ahead of the busy holiday season," Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said Friday, when the charges were unsealed in District Court.
Charged with felony theft are Nathaniel Spears, 27, of Albany, Minn.; Raymone Wright, 22, of Minneapolis; Na'Touri K. Ross,c 19, of Minneapolis; and Shaimee N.S. Robinson-Love, 18, of Bloomington.
Republican attorneys general broadened their legal battle against President Biden’s immigration policies in a new lawsuit announced Friday that challenges a federal program to shortcut the smuggling journey and bring children directly from Central America. The Central American Minors program, or CAM, allows people already in the U.S. to petition to bring their children legally even if the parents jumped the border to get here. The Biden team says the program is a recognition of reality—the children are surging here already, usually braving a torturous trip that can involve assault, rape and sickness, so eliminating the need for that trip can save lives.(Snip)“No sovereign nation would reward those

School sure has changed, and the recent report of a college assignment provides a perfect case in point.
At the University of New Hampshire, they’re trying to make the world a better place. That’s the reason, presumably, for an alleged assignment last summer in an “Introduction to Language and Social Interaction” course.
Campus Reform has purportedly obtained screenshots of a professor’s order for students to find someone and accuse them of a racist act.
There are a few other offenses from which to choose:
Ableist Language
Homophobic Language
Microaggressions
Racist Language
The victim of such sinisterness must be “a person of color,” “LGBTQI+,” or “a disabled person.”

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson may or may not be angling for a job on CNN if her recent comments on that ratings-challenged network are any indicationCarlson was, in part, reacting to namesake (but no relation) Tucker Carlson for raising questions about why the political/media echo chamber seems hell-bent on fomenting a war with Russia. Tucker has warned time and again that CCP-controlled China is the real threat on the world stage.In cherry-picking one clip from Tucker Carlson Tonight, Fox News-obsessed, Donald Trump-loathing CNN anchor Jim Acosta teed up the interview — on a show that hardly anybody watches, according to viewer ratings, outside of a few clips
This week has been eye-opening. Even for me -- and I'm the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often for three hours a day on my nationally syndicated radio show, that the COVID-19 vaccine could be dangerous and deadly and could lead to catastrophe. (Snip)
Three months ago, I was the first to warn that Americans were dropping in record numbers of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. I titled my commentary, "If the Vaccine Is So Great, Why Are So Many People Dropping Dead?"
But even I was shocked by the plethora of stories coming out just in the past week,
Many of the woke politicians who have pushed for student-loan cancellation are themselves hip-deep in school debt, federal records reviewed by The Post show.
Most members of “The Squad” — the coterie of socialist legislators led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — fall into this category. Collectively, they owe between $180,004 and $400,000 in student loans, the records show.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had a balance of between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loans as of 2020, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure.
President Trump held another packed rally in Conroe, Texas on Saturday night.
An estimated 50,000 supporters turned out to see President Trump in Texas.
President Trump also promised to release the persecuted January 6 Political Prisoners at the DC Gulag! These poor men and women are held in isolation without any basic human rights. Truly this is a dark stain on America and our judicial system.
This morning on the Sunday talk shows dangerous Lindsey Graham and RINO Susan Collins bucked Trump and vowed to persecute the January 6 prisoners. These are not good people.

Longtime actor Howard Hesseman, most famous for his role as disc jockey Dr. Johnny Fever on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, has died, says The Hollywood Reporter. He was 81 years old.
Hesseman died at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, of complications from colon surgery that he had last year.
Hesseman had many acting credits to his name. Aside from his role on WKRP in Cincinnati, for which he received two Emmy nominations, he also played history teacher Charlie Moore in the ’80s sitcom Head of the Class, in which he starred for four of its five seasons. He had many other roles and appearances on television,
Every day under the woke regime, one has to ask “can things really get more insane from here?” The answer is always “yes,” as Apple recently proved when it decided to add a “pregnant man” emoji to the iMessage emoji options. Yes, really.Fox Business announced as much, reporting that a “pregnant man” emoji and “pregnant person” emoji will come to iPhones with the iOS 15.4 update.Emojipedia first announced the pregnant man emoji in a September 2021 blog post, saying:Released this week by the Unicode Consortium as part of Emoji 14.0, the new pregnancy options may be used for representation by trans men, non-binary people, or women with short hair—
Armed Texas homeowners are no joke.
During his final day on Earth, a home invader was taught one final lesson that could have added decades onto his life: Don’t mess with a Second Amendment patriot in Texas.
Had this particular thug been schooled on the God-given constitutional rights bestowed on every American citizen, perhaps he would have thought twice about bursting into a Texan’s home and pointing a gun in the homeowner’s face.
However, in a moment of true southern hospitality, the homeowner felt obliged to teach his unexpected guest how the Second Amendment works.
oe Biden and his Democrat allies wasted no time trying to make political hay out of a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, a city Biden had just arrived in to discuss his infrastructure bill:
The collapse happened just hours before President Biden traveled to the area to speak at a previously scheduled event about the $1 trillion infrastructure bill he signed into law last year.
"We have been so far behind on infrastructure for so many years it's just mind-boggling," Mr. Biden told a group of elected officials and first responders during a visit to the collapse site. "...We used to be number one in the world."
