This past week, the French Government began deactivating the vaccine passports of nearly four million double-vaxxed citizens because they still have not taken the booster, according to France News 24. Individuals who have had their passes taken away will effectively be relegated to unvaxxed status and no longer be able to engage in most aspects of society.(Snip)France has repeatedly changed the time allowed to receive a booster since the third jab was announced. At first, people had 6 months to take the extra shot, then it dropped to just 3 months, then 7. Currently, the booster must be taken in 4 months for the vax pass

Federal officials warned Tuesday that as much as $80 billion in unemployment benefits could have fraudulently gone to cybercriminals and international crime rings. Officials from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Secret Service say improper accountability measures at the federal and state levels aided the fraud throughout the coronavirus pandemic.(Snip)International syndicates and cyberhackers quickly set up fake profiles, using pilfered personal information, to steal billions from the federal government. Much of the tactics were already well known to law enforcement agencies since cybercriminals had previously used them to bilk money from disaster relief programs. The criminals had previously not targeted unemployment because of the small nature

US home prices saw their biggest increase in at least 34 years in 2021, according to data released Tuesday, as buyers spent the year snapping up homes and builders struggled to keep up. Home prices surged 18.8 percent last year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller US National Home Price index, the biggest jump since its creation and much more than the 10.4 percent jump seen in 2020.
Fueled by remote work and booming regional economies, mass migration to the South, Southwest and Mountain West drove some of the sharpest increases in home prices, as demand outstripped supply. The biggest increase in home prices took place in Phoenix,

Wauwatosa, Wis.—Twin sisters in Wisconsin are facing attempted homicide charges while the restaurant worker they are accused of shooting and beating is recovering in a neck brace. Anthony Rodriguez, 26, says he was the only server working around midnight Jan. 30 at a George Webb location in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He says a few customers became upset over an incomplete order and were asked to leave, but instead, one of them opened fire. Shot in the face over a $3 hamburger, Rodriguez says he thought his life was over. One of the customers stomped his face while he was on the ground after the shooting.

Kerry Washington is honoring Rosa Parks during Black History Month.
On Monday the “Scandal” actress shared an Instagram post in which she recreated Parks’ famous 1955 mugshot photo split with the real photo. “A lot of people think that Rosa’s activism started with her refusing to give up her seat on the bus,” Washington wrote alongside it. “But she lived a life of activism long before that. Fighting, boycotting, marching, and even working as an investigator for the NAACP, advocating against sexual assaults on Black women.” “It was Rosa Park’s act of civil disobedience on that bus that sparked a revolution,” she continued. “She took that seat

The New York Times was slammed online over a crossword puzzle hint for the word 'greed' as they referred to it as a vice linked to capitalism. On Tuesday's crossword, the Times had the clue 'vice encouraged by capitalism,' to which the answer was greed, causing an uproar as people accused the paper for stoking anti-capitalism sentiments while at the same time profiting off the system.
On Twitter, journalist Clifford May, a former Times writer, tweeted, 'Years ago, when I worked there, it was a great newspaper. If it stays on the current trajectory it won't be a newspaper at all. Just another propaganda outlet.'

The Biden administration is flouting a law that requires it to produce a report on the number of jobs lost by canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, in addition to describing how its action may have affected energy costs. The roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden in November included a provision mandating the Department of Energy to produce a report to Congress detailing the impact to American jobs and energy as a result of Mr. Biden’s decision to end the pipeline. The legislation allowed Energy Department Secretary Jennifer Granholm 90 days to provide the information to Congress.

Albuquerque, N.M.—Federal officials have come up with a list of potential replacement names for hundreds of geographic features in three dozen states that include the word “squaw,” kicking off a public comment period that will run through late April. U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in November formally declared the term derogatory and initiated a process to remove the word from use by the federal government and to replace other existing derogatory place names. Haaland said in a statement Tuesday that words matter, particularly as the agency works to make the nation’s public lands and waters accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

Like gray skies and rainfall, graffiti in the city of Seattle, Washington, is ubiquitous today. Defaced public and private property can be seen everywhere—storefronts, apartment buildings, commercial vehicles, highways, bridges, street signs and recycling bins all bear the urban scrawl. Nothing is spared. Everything appears to be fair game, including magazine display racks, utility poles—even historic sites.(Snip)Vassie Skoulis, a mother of two and a Seattle homeowner, told Fox News Digital, "Seattle has chosen to punish its residents who desire to live peacefully and respectfully with their neighbors and decided to stop enforcing rules, policies and laws."
"Residents must clean up garbage and vandalism in their neighborhood,"

Sen. Lindsey Graham urged the White House on Tuesday to work with Republicans on a bipartisan spending package to shore up Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican, argued during an appearance on “Fox News” that President Biden needs to act swiftly to demonstrate that Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine is unacceptable. In particular, Mr. Graham said the White House should work with Congress on a bipartisan spending and military aid package. “We need more [Winston] Churchills and less Neville Chamberlains,” said Mr. Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We have one president at a time. I stand ready to work with President Biden

President Biden will announce Tuesday a series of public and private-sector investments to extract minerals such as cobalt, lithium and graphite that are needed for electric vehicles and other aspects of the global shift toward a “clean energy economy,” the White House said. The administration expects demand for these minerals to spike 400-600% generally and demand for minerals used in electric vehicles to jump 6,000% over the next several decades. Mr. Biden is fearful the U.S. is too dependent on China so he will trumpet new investments after ordering a review of the supply chain a year ago. “Critical minerals provide the building blocks for many modern technologies
