A pair of New York Democrats are taking heat for not wearing masks during indoor photo-ops even as they urge residents to cover their faces as part of the COVID-19 fight. Rep. Jamaal Bowman was pictured, maskless, smiling with masked students during a visit to New Rochelle High School on Jan. 31. A statewide mask mandate remains in effect as New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul appeals a ruling that struck it down. Days later, the congressman told everyone to “mask up” in a tweet, prompting users to urge him to follow his own advice. Brand-new New York City Mayor Eric Adams, meanwhile, faced backlash for photos

Comments:

The remorseless right-wing hate machine is in high gear, slamming these wonderful black public servants even during Da Mumph.

Out here in Free America - we don't wear masks....well, some of the poor sad folks choose to wear them, but that's mostly to show how dim they are.

Chris Cuomo isn’t backing down in his battle with CNN following the ouster of his boss Jeff Zucker—the anchor intends to demand as much as a $60 million settlement, according to sources. Multiple sources tell Page Six that Cuomo, who was fired in December for helping his brother fend off sexual harassment allegations, is ready to dig his heels in by claiming that Zucker not only knew about his dealings with the governor—but that the network boss had his own inappropriate dealings with Andrew. And he is prepared to demand not the $18 million left on his contract, but as much as $60 million.

Hunter Biden tried to strike an exceedingly lucrative, “forever” business deal with a state-owned Chinese energy company that’s since been sanctioned by the US over its ties to the Chinese military, according to the latest emails unearthed from his infamous laptop. The plan would have apparently also involved the then-prime minister of Kazakhstan, who was arrested on suspicion of treason last month following his ouster as head of the country’s intelligence service. The emails date to April 2014, when Biden’s dad, President Joe Biden, was vice president and about a year before father and son apparently posed for a photo with the Kazakhstani official, Karim Massimov,

Johnson & Johnson stopped production of its single-shot COVID-19 vaccine at the only plant making usable doses late last year, according to a report Tuesday. The stoppage at the plant in the Netherlands is temporary—with production of the vaccine expected to resume sometime in March, the New York Times reported, citing sources close to the matter. While it’s unclear if the shutdown that began late last year has had an impact on vaccine availability, it could slash Johnson & Johnson’s supply by a few hundred million doses, one source told the newspaper. Other facilities have been tasked to produce the J&J vaccine, but they either still await regulatory

It's a loss that no mother should have to endure—but Rosheda Murray has suffered it several times over. Rosheda's 18-year-old son Rodrick Burden was gunned down in a Baltimore street in March 2012 as he headed to the store to buy medication for a toothache. Almost a decade later the bullet-riddled body of his twin brother Romar Burden, 26, was found stripped of belongings and dumped in a gutter. To this day their killers have never been caught. So when mother-of-five Rosheda hears Fox News host Tucker Carlson comparing her home city to violence-plagued Haiti, she wipes her tears away and nods in agreement.

Pfizer is the leading manufacturer of Covid vaccines in America, and has recently began to rollout to rollout what many believe to be the most effective antiviral pill available to treat the virus as well. The rollout of both has already led to a substantial financial windfall for the New York City-based company, and the prospect on enhanced distribution of Paxlovid, the potential rollout of Omicron-tailored vaccines and more booster shots in the future will lead to an influx of even more cash. On Tuesday, the company revealed its Q4 earnings and revenue projections for 2022. The company estimates to rake in up to $102 billion in sales

President Biden’s plan to make combatting climate change a “whole of government agenda” resulted in Americans shelling out more than $1,000 extra in energy costs last year, according to a new report by conservative think tank Heartland Institute. Mr. Biden’s climate change policies coupled with rising inflation contributed to the highest single-year increase in energy costs in decades, found the analysis by the Heartland Institute. “Rapidly rising energy prices are no accident, but instead the predictable result of Joe Biden’s war on energy,” said James Taylor, the president of the Heartland Institute.(Snip)The impact was most felt on families when it came to the cost of heating their homes.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is facing a congressional probe after reports emerged alleging the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a cruel experiment, injecting beagle puppies with cocaine. The non-profit watchdog organization White Coat Waste Project (WCW) reported on another cruel experiment allegedly funded by taxpayers. According to WCW’s findings, via a Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] request, “seven 6-month-old beagle puppies were trained to wear a jacket” which “served a cruel purpose: to inject the animal wearing it with drugs.” Puppies were then dosed with cocaine repeatedly “for months” with what WCW described as an “‘experimental compound,’

They are a versatile fashion accessory and a staple in every woman's wardrobe. But now researchers say wearing ladies tights on your face could slash your risk of getting Covid. One of the criticisms aimed at commonly worn face coverings is that they do not fit tightly enough to significantly block viral particles from being inhaled or exhaled. As part of a new study, Cambridge University experts reviewed a variety of DIY hacks people have used to make masks fit better, including using rubber bands or tape. Curiously, they found the most effective tactic was to wrap pantyhose around the bottom half of the face—on top of a mask.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is criticizing the Republican National Committee for censuring two House GOP lawmakers investigating the “violent insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, saying it’s not the party’s job to police the views of lawmakers. As former President Donald Trump has downplayed the attack by his supporters last year — the worst attack against the Capitol in two centuries — the RNC last week took a voice vote to approve censuring Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois at the party’s winter meeting in Salt Lake City.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity." The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."
