Biden told Zelensky that an invasion is virtually certain and to 'prepare for impact,' CNN reported. He said Kiev could be 'sacked' by Russian forces. He reportedly said Ukraine would not be getting significantly more military help, including reiterating that no U.S. troops would be deployed there, nor would there be preemptive sanctions on Russia or any progress with NATO.

Disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's administration confirmed Thursday that thousands more nursing home residents died of COVID-19 than the state's official tallies had previously acknowledged, dealing another blow to his image as a pandemic hero. The surprise development, after months of the state refusing to divulge its true numbers, showed that at least 12,743 long-term care residents died of the virus as of Jan. 19, far greater than the official tally of 8,505 on that day, a 49 percent jump cementing New York's toll as one of the highest in the nation. Those numbers are consistent with a report released just hours earlier by state Attorney General
Nancy Pelosi's son is embroiled in an FBI investigation into a San Francisco official who was allegedly bribed to turn a blind eye to a corrupt real estate plot. Paul Pelosi Jr. and at least three of his associates were interviewed by agents in a five-year investigation that resulted in an indictment of a prolific building permit fixer for allegedly bribing a city official. The bribery scheme included an alleged plan to remove permit violations on a squalid flop house owned by Pelosi Jr.’s girlfriend.(Snip)San Francisco permit expediter Rodrigo Santos, a former president of the San Francisco Building Inspection Commission, was indicted for fraud in November.
Pete Buttigieg's plan to add more speed cameras to America's roads as a way patrolling them more 'fairly' has been panned by critics who say it will only lead to more speeding fines under the guise of equity and road safety. Buttigieg announced the plan yesterday and claims it will reduce the number of deadly road collisions.
The highway plan is receiving some $17billion from Biden's $1.2trillion infrastructure bill, which will be used in part to pay for the cameras.(Snip)'When the country applauded $1.2 trillion going to fixing the roads, bridges and buildings, a lot of us were dumb enough to think that's what might actually happen,'
Because not everyone can work from home and lack of transportation remains a huge problem, the state of Minnesota awarded $475,000 in car repair grants this week to six agencies determined to help low-income workers get and keep jobs. The Getting to Work grants, issued through the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), will help the agencies provide, repair or maintain vehicles that assist eligible people obtain or maintain employment.

Video and a photo taken aboard the USS Carl Vinson captured the moment a $100 million US Navy F-35 stealth fighter jet crashed into the South China Sea on Monday after a 'landing mishap.' The leaked video, which circulated on social media and was confirmed to be taken aboard the Navy carrier during the crash, shows the jet approaching the ship when the screen fills with smoke and the violent sound of the engine can be heard just before the video cuts out, Newsweek reported.(Snip)A spokesperson for the US Navy's 7th Fleet told CNN that the video and image of the crash were real and that the incident
Philadelphia—An attempted carjacking suspect was seriously injured after a pizza delivery driver fought back against his attacker on Thursday night. It happened around 7:38 p.m. when the 39-year-old delivery driver was dropping off food on the 3300 block of H Street in the city's Kensington section.(Snip)Police say the delivery driver was approached by a 23-year-old man who pointed a gun at the male victim and demanded he get out of the car.

Even with his own low approval numbers, President Joe Biden is leading both former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a pair of direct match-ups long ahead of the 2024 election. Biden leads Trump by 10 percentage points–43 to 33–in a new Marquette Law School poll released Thursday. That poll has 16 percent backing 'someone else.' It comes even as Trump has been hammering Biden throughout his presidency, and stepping up his own activity with a rally last week in Arizona and another planned for Texas this coming Saturday.

Wellington, New Zealand—When the coronavirus began spreading around the world, the remote Pacific archipelago of Kiribati closed its borders, ensuring the disease didn’t reach its shores for nearly two full years. Kiribati finally began reopening this month, allowing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to charter a plane to bring home 54 of the island nation’s citizens.(Snip)Officials tested each returning passenger three times in nearby Fiji, required that they be vaccinated, and put them in quarantine with additional testing when they arrived home.

An Indian father who froze to death alongside his wife and two children worked as a teacher and farmed his own land before they made the desperate and dangerous journey to cross in the United States from Canada, where they trudged through waist-deep snow in a blizzard for 11 hours. Jagdish Patel, 39 and Vaishailben Patel, 37 were found dead with their children Vihangi, 11 and Dharkmik, three, in a field north of the US border on January 19 as temperatures plummeted to as low as -40F near Manitoba, Canada with blowing snow and poor visibility advisories issued on the night of the four's ill-fated trek last week.
A 16-year-old, up-and-coming rapper charged with shooting an NYPD cop in the Bronx walked free on bond Thursday—and cops are fuming over it. Camrin Williams, who is also known by the rap name C Blu, posted his $250,000 bond after being locked up at a Brooklyn juvenile facility on gun and assault charges in the shooting of a 27-year-old cop in Belmont. “If anybody wants to know why we have a crisis of violence in this city, or why we’re about to bury two hero police officers, look no further than this disgraceful bail release,” NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said
ID.me, one of the D.C.-area’s fastest-growing technology companies, will hire an additional 750 video chat agents to meet increased user volume for its digital identification services. That is on top of more than 1,000 new hires it announced it would fill by the end of last year, quadrupling its workforce. A spokesman for the company has not confirmed if it met last year’s hiring goal. The Tysons, Virginia-based company is ramping up for increased demand in coming months related to unemployment claims, health care and financial services organizations, and tax season. The Internal Revenue Service recently selected ID.me to run a new “selfie” identification requirement for access
People can get better immune responses from COVID-19 booster shots if the dose doesn’t match the vaccine received during initial vaccination, according to a lead researcher on the matter from the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine.(Snip)“If your primary series and the boost were the same, you got a good response. But you could increase that response if you mixed the vaccines,” said Dr. Kirsten E. Lyke, professor of medicine at UMSOM, and the co-chair and the principal investigator for the ongoing study. “For instance, if you got a Johnson and Johnson and you followed that with either a Pfizer or Moderna, you could really enhance

Political commentator Geraldo Rivera said that Vice President Kamala Harris would be “terrific” on the Supreme Court on Fox News’ “The Five” Wednesday.“She [Harris] could be a terrific Supreme Court Justice, an appointment for life.

“It’s not going to happen,” Rivera continued. “They’ve already put out the D.C. Circuit Judge Brown Jackson, the South Carolina District Judge Michelle Childs, Leondra Kruger — all black women.
Penzey's Spices, the Milwaukee-based company that held "Republicans are Racist Weekend" sale on Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend earlier this month, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is now all but begging for new business.

That day, ahead of the Capitol riot, Trump said that Pence 'didn't have the courage' to object to the election results during Congress' certification. Fox News' Jesse Waters asked Pence when the last time he spoke to Trump was on his show Thursday evening. 'You know, we talked last summer,' Pence said.

Interrupting a campaign speech certainly doesn't seem like a way to get an invite into the White House, but that's exactly what a two-year-old short-haired tabby has managed to do.

Now, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have finally welcomed Willow, after speaking of a long-promised cat, to their pet family.

SAN FRANCISCO — California State University, the largest-four year university system in the country, is poised to eliminate SAT and ACT standardized tests from its undergraduate admissions process, following a trend in higher education over concerns that the exams are unfair to minority and low-income students. The Board of Trustees for the 23-campus CSU system will vote in March on recommendations to end the testing requirements, which were presented at a meeting Wednesday and met with widespread enthusiasm.

Lancaster Online reported Tuesday that agents with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, (ATF) seized firearms from an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania’s Leacock Township.
The seizure of the firearms occurred earlier this month.
Lancaster Online indicates the ATF’s action revolved around the farmer, Reuben King, allegedly selling firearms without a license.
King admitted that he had sold some firearms, but stressed that they were mostly long guns that other Amish could use for hunting. He noted that he sold some to non-Amish too.
He added, “I was not dealing in handguns, positively not.”
The Blaze noted that King “[did not] advertise the sale of his guns online and
