New Yorkers strongly support COVID vaccine
edict as mandates dropped: poll
Posted By: Ribicon, 2/10/2022 10:20:37 AM
A majority of New York City residents say they agree with COVID-19 vaccine mandates–and they’re angry with the minority who refuse to get jabbed, a survey released Thursday shows. Residents polled by the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health said the coronavirus vaccine should be required for people who work in service industries and schools, and should be a mandate for indoor activities and airplane travel. More than half of New York respondents—54 percent—said they are angry with the small percentage of residents who have refused to get vaxxed.(Snip)“The mask lifting heightens the need to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Aymen El-Mohandes, dean of

At least 130 congregations have quietly walked away from the United Methodist Church in a schism over the denomination’s planned acceptance of same-sex marriage and homosexual clergy. The breakaway congregations are keeping their church property thanks to a “conscience clause” enacted by the group’s legislative assembly in 2019. The United Methodist Church General Conference, the church’s governing body, is expected this year to approve a separation plan that would create two denominations: one affirming bans on gay clergy and same-sex marriage, and one permitting homosexual clergy and same-sex marriage. That move has been postponed because of the pandemic and might be delayed again.
Germany’s plans to introduce a general vaccination mandate this spring are faltering, as a growing number of politicians question if it will find a majority in parliament. The Bundestag was originally due to debate motions in favour and against mandatory vaccinations this week, after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, indicated he considered such a step necessary to cope with a possible resurgence of the virus in the next few months.(Snip)As of Monday, almost 75% of Germany’s population had received at least two shots of vaccines, while 55% had also received a booster shot. A change of heart on behalf of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) looks set
New York—New York City fired more than a thousand workers who failed to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the mayor’s office said Monday. The 1,430 workers who lost their jobs represent less than 1% of the 370,000-person city workforce and are far fewer terminations than expected before a Friday deadline to get the shots. The city sent notices in late January to up to 4,000 workers, saying they had to show proof they got at least two doses of the vaccine or else they’d lose their jobs. Three-quarters of those workers had already been on leave without pay for months, having missed an earlier deadline
Florence residents are being asked to pay the utility bills of elderly people living alone and struggling to make ends meet as the city’s leaders seek to shield the most vulnerable from soaring energy costs. The “adopt a bill” initiative begins in the next few days and comes as the social implications of a more than 50% hike in gas and electricity bills in Italy this winter start to manifest.
“The social impact is very strong as we’re facing huge increases in bills,” Dario Nardella, the mayor of Florence, told the Guardian. “We’ve received many calls and letters from people who are in great difficulty.”
Intelligence that linked the Manchester Arena bomber to another suspected terrorist was uncovered by detectives three years before the 2017 bombing but was never passed on for further investigation, an inquiry has heard. Detectives found the name, photo and phone number of Salman Abedi during an investigation into Abdalraouf Abdallah in 2014. They found Abedi had exchanged about 1,300 text messages with Abdallah in November 2014. In one message, Abedi wrote: “By Allah… every day, on every kneeling I ask my Lord for martyrdom.” Abedi also described non-Muslims as “dogs” and “kuffars”–a derogatory Arabic term for unbelievers–and shared an image of the currency used by Islamic State
People who take the illicit party drug 'speed' are five times more likely to suffer from psychosis at some point in their life, a study suggests. The amphetamine—which is popular in rave culture—was also linked to an increased risk of a host of other mental health conditions, including depression. Researchers looked at medical records and surveys of more than 250,000 people in Taiwan over a 10-year period. People who said they used speed were five times more likely to experience paranoia, voices and hallucinations compared to people who had never tried the drug. Users were also five times more likely to be depressed and three times more
Louisville, Ky.—A Jefferson County Grand Jury has returned an indictment in the shooting death of a 16-year-old Jefferson County Public Schools student who was waiting for his school bus. The indictment against Demaurion Lakeith Moore charges him with one count of murder (complicity), one count of criminal attempt murder (complicity), two counts of assault first degree (complicity), one count of assault second degree (complicity), one count of receiving stolen property (complicity), six counts of wanton endangerment first degree (complicity), one count of tampering with physical evidence (complicity), and two counts of possession of a handgun by a minor.(Snip)Two other students, ages 13 and 14, were wounded
The UK's top-paid public sector diversity chief is a Network Rail employee who earns up to £164,999 a year and previously shared an article accusing Boris Johnson of 'white privilege'.
Loraine Martins, the railway company's director of diversity and inclusion, is responsible for ensuring the network is more 'open, diverse and inclusive'.(Snip)Before joining Network Rail, Ms Martins led a team on 'equality and inclusion and employment and skills' during the construction of the Olympic Park ahead of the London Olympic Games in 2012. For that work, she was awarded an MBE and then last year she was made an OBE 'for her work to improve diversity

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the subject of accusations in court documents that her campaign spied on Donald Trump, but supporters in her party are shrugging off the claim ahead of her much-anticipated speech before the New York State Democratic Party Convention on Thursday. Democrats say the bombshell accusations from special counsel John Durham are just more reckless attacks, and they won’t let it spoil daydreams about Mrs. Clinton standing in for President Biden in 2024 if necessary. “I think this is going to be met with an eye roll,” Dora Leland, chairwoman of the Chemung County, New York, Democratic Committee, told The Washington Times. “People are tired,
The films nominated for this year's Best Picture honors played to mostly empty theaters over the weekend, with none of them able to break more than 1 million after the Oscar picks were announces earlier in the week. The Paul Thomas Anderson-directed Licorice Pizza came the closest, grossing $922,500 between screenings at 1,977 theaters, according to The Wrap, its widest release since it opened on November 26. It still lagged far behind a top 10 that included the newly released Death on the Nile and the Jennifer Lopez rom-com Marry Me, as well as the popular Jackass sequel.
The social media intern operating the official Twitter account of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) thought they were witty on Valentine's Day to tweet a snitch campaign to turn in ex-lovers for "illegal gun activity." "Valentine's Day can still be fun even if you broke up. Do you have information about a former (or current) partner involved in illegal gun activity?" the ATF tweeted. "Let us know, and we will make sure it's a Valentine's Day to remember!" the tweet continued.(Snip)The tweet immediately backfired as countless people provided a tip to the ATF of "Robert Hunter Biden," the president's son, who lied
IBM faces an age discrimination lawsuit for forcing out hundreds of older employees, referring to them as 'dinobabies' who should be an 'extinct species' in favor of younger 'digital natives,' according to court documents. A court filing by attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who is representing hundreds of former IBM employees for 'age animus from IBM's highest ranks,' claims that unnamed executives were aware of a 'companywide plan to oust older employees in order to make room for younger employees.'(Snip)Another unnamed executive, according to court documents, expressed 'frustration that IBM's proportion of millennial employees is much lower than at a competitor firm.'

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in an unprecedented action, announced on Monday that he is invoking the never-before-used Emergencies Act to try and put a stop to the Freedom Convoys that have shut down traffic—and much of the commerce—in Canada. The truckers, protesting vaccine mandates, have clogged roads, leading to chaos on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Among other actions, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and suspend their insurance policies. In addition, the prime minister said that, under the Emergencies Act, the government will have the power to “compel” tow-truck drivers to remove rigs blocking roads,
If we’ve learned anything from the inhabitants of Planet Looney Tunes over the last couple of years, it is this: Anything and everything the left doesn’t like is racist, misogynistic, or worse.
And by “racist,” we’re talking systemic racism — which is tied to white supremacy and the ridiculous notion that all white people — at birth, solely because of the color of their skin — are inherently racist, and for which, they must atone by living proactively anti-racist lives.
And, as if we haven’t laughed at these people enough, they now tell us that eating meat is “all of the above.”
The LAPD declared an unlawful assembly Sunday night after “violent and destructive” Los Angeles Rams fans wreaked havoc on downtown streets following the team’s Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The celebration turned chaotic near 11th and Hope streets when fans lit fireworks inside a city bus and festooned the outside with graffiti, according to Los Angeles Times reporter Kevin Rector. In another wild scene captured on camera, dozens of fans celebrate in standstill traffic as some hop onto the roof of a yellow cab.
One of the men even whacked the cab’s roof
There is something fishy in Montecito.
A putrid smell is said to have inundated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s $14.65 million, nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom mansion, according to several reports.
Neighbors in the upscale Santa Barbara community “disgusted” by the pungent fragrance have reportedly complained about the issue to no avail.
Out of the blue, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched a Twitter attack on Senator Ted Cruz. As you will see, the gist of the attack is that she thinks Senator Cruz can’t dance the way the cool kids do. The cool kids naturally include her, dancing in a Twitter video, with the person in the foreground of African American descent, and behind her AOC in one of her expensive designer outfits, moving rhythmically to music. [tweet captioned "Ted Cruz could never"] Perhaps this is supposed to be a dig at Cruz as an intellectual nerd
Jennifer Sey, former USA gymnast and the brand president of Levi's has revealed she has been fired for repeatedly speaking out against draconian COVID restrictions in schools, and turned down $1million in severance pay that she was offered on the condition she wouldn't publicly share why she had been ousted. Sey, 52, has repeatedly spoken out against school shut-downs and mask mandates since the start of the pandemic.(Snip)She stopped speaking out in November, after being told she was on track to become the next CEO, but says she told last month it was 'untenable' for her to stay because outside detractors put pressure on the company to fire
Joe Biden: Stupid Or Liar?
29 replies
Most “either/or” questions are designed to make you choose, but sometimes the correct answer is “both.” When dealing with someone like President Joe Biden, it’s not always possible to know the answer to a simple question: is this man stupid, or is he just a liar? There is ample evidence of both, almost always, but the exact tilt of a scale and in which direction it points for the majority is not always clear. As such, you are sometimes left wondering which it is, but there is little doubt it is at least one and usually some combination of both.
So what has me asking this?
The mainstream media is under fire again for ignoring the bombshell claims Hillary Clinton's campaign spied on Donald Trump while he was President - while they show no hesitation in heavy coverage of the discredited Steele dossier and allegations he was colluding with Russia,DailyMail.com found no links or references to the latest revelations by Special Counsel John Durham in his probe into the origins of the Russia investigation on the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS.
Where's Hillary?

Hillary Clinton is in big trouble.
With revelations from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation that her 2016 campaign literally paid tech companies to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, the Trump residence, and the Trump White House, the question now is what kind of felony charges are coming. It looks like this:
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio noted Special Counsel John Durham alleged in Friday’s legal filing that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an Internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House to try to tie Donald Trump to Russia.
The 2024 Republican presidential primary may see RINO candidates running like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and now potentially Gov. Larry Hogan, who is prevented from running for the governor in Maryland again by term limits. The comments came towards the end of his appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," when host Jake Tapper pointed out that Hogan announced this week that he would not run for the U.S. Senate. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, is up for re-election in November. [Video]
Hogan not only shared "I just have never had a desire to be a U.S. senator. And my heart wasn't in it,"

Practicing Catholics in the United States, like everyone else over the past two years, have experienced a severe disruption of their communal life. (snip) If even your bishop indicates that your sacramental obligations can be dispensed with indefinitely on account of a virus—while “essential businesses” like weed shops, liquor stores, and big-box retailers remain in operation—it tends to affect people’s perception of what truly is “essential” in the practice of their faith.
