The loss is more than double the 133,000 lost subscribers over the fourth quarter in 2021, the Hollywood Reporter said. The drop is startling, compared to the loss of only 13,000 subscribers in the third quarter of this year. The company’s report includes the loss of subscribers to its Dish pay TV services as well as its Sling TV streaming service. The company reported losing about 70,000 subscribers for Sling TV and 200,000 for the satellite service. Dish satellite lost more than a million subscribers between 2020

President Biden’s surgeon general on Thursday formally requested that the major tech platforms submit information about the scale of Covid-19 misinformation on social networks, search engines, crowdsourced platforms, e-commerce platforms and instant messaging systems. A request for information from the surgeon general’s office demanded that tech platforms send data and analysis on the prevalence of Covid-19 misinformation on their sites, starting with common examples of vaccine misinformation documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The notice asks the companies to submit “exactly how many users saw or may have been exposed to instances of Covid-19 misinformation,” as well as aggregate data on demographics
A Northern California woman who claimed she was kidnapped for 22 days five years ago was arrested and charged with faking her abduction. On Thursday prosecutors charged Sherri Papini, 39, for lying to federal agents about being kidnapped and defrauding the state's victim compensation board of $30,000. Papini was found on Thanksgiving Day in 2016 after weeks of searching in California and several nearby states, with bindings on her body and injuries including a broken nose and a 'brand' on her right shoulder.
She had been reported missing Nov. 2. She told authorities at the time that she had been kidnapped at gunpoint by two Hispanic women, even providing descriptions
The U.S. Senate, with a Republican-dominated voice of 49 to 44, passed a resolution to block Joe Biden’s presidentially decreed coronavirus shot mandates for healthcare workers. Republicans are calling it a victory. But it’s not. Not really. Neither the Democrat-led House nor the White House support it, and it won’t pass. But that shouldn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter because Republicans in the Senate, if they wanted, if they so chose, if they truly believed in the constitutionally disgusting idea of government forcing an untested-for-long-term-safety-and-efficacy shot into the arms of 17 million or so health care workers—if they honestly wanted to
The Senate voted Wednesday to get rid of President Biden’s vaccine mandate on health workers at places that receive federal funding in a political messaging move ahead of the midterm elections.
Senators voted 49-44 for the disapproval resolution, which would use the Congressional Review Act to eliminate the mandate.
“I thank my Senate colleagues for joining me in voting to END the CMS vaccine mandate,” Rep. Roger Marshall, Kansas Republican, tweeted, referring to the agency that controls Medicare and Medicaid funding.(Snip)The House is controlled by Democrats, so the resolution faces long odds on that side of the Capitol. Even if it gets through, the White House has

The national Black Lives Matter group may be sitting on a cash hoard significantly larger than previously disclosed, new records reviewed by the Washington Examiner suggest. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation claimed in February 2021, it spent about a third of the $90 million it raised in 2020, leaving the group with $60 million under its control at the end of the year.(Snip)BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in February that the money her group received in 2020 came from "white corporation guilt," implying that a substantial portion of BLM's funding that year did not come from small-dollar donations processed through ActBlue.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been accused in a lawsuit of hurling obscenities at a city lawyer who tried to defy her wishes by allowing Italian-Americans to display a removed statue of Christopher Columbus at a parade. Former Chicago Park District deputy general counsel George Smyrniotis filed the lawsuit on Tuesday against the city and Lightfoot, alleging she defamed him with her remarks in a meeting last year. 'You make some kind of secret agreement with Italians,' said Lightfoot, according to the complaint, which was first reported by the Chicago Tribune. 'My d**k is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d**k in Chicago.'
Hey kids, don’t be a maskhole! With the end of school mask mandates around the corner, the city’s elite private schools are warning students not to question or tease classmates over their face covering choices. Private schools introduced an optional mask policy for staffers and students Wednesday after Gov. Kathy Hochul officially scrapped the requirement. “Everything is so polarized and political these days,” said a parent at Manhattan’s Spence School. “There is more to this than just wearing or not wearing a mask. It’s seen as a reflection of the student and the parents’ views overall.”
Some administrators are getting in front of the issue and asking parents to talk
President Biden is upping his request for humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine, calling on Congress to approve $10 billion to help bolster the nation in its fight against Russia. Shalanda Young, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, made the request in a letter to the congressional Democratic leadership on Tuesday. The figure is significantly larger than the $6.4 billion that administration officials initially urged lawmakers to approve just last week. “These resources will mean additional defense equipment for Ukraine, lifesaving humanitarian assistance—such as emergency food assistance—for the Ukrainian people, stronger sanctions enforcement, a dedicated task force led by the Department of Justice
Seattle—A downtown Seattle tech company won’t bring workers back to the office until they feel it’s safe, not because of COVID-19, but crime. Businesses continue to speak out about the ongoing violence in the downtown core, specifically in the area of Third Avenue and Pike Street. Martin Fagan with Qumulo is a former police officer, now a facilities director for the cloud computing company based at Fourth Avenue and Pike. He told his employees they don't have to return to the office until the situation in downtown "stabilizes."(Snip)On Tuesday, police intercepted a carjacking while they responded to a stabbing.

Philadelphia police are facing questions after releasing mixed messages on an armed 12-year-old boy who was fatally shot in the back by officers on Tuesday, with the police commissioner claiming he was armed and fired at police but her deputy later saying he wasn't sure if he'd done so. Police identified the boy as Thomas Siderio Jr., saying officers took him to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced dead a few minutes after the shooting. Officers said that Siderio was white.(Snip)In a statement Wednesday, police said the four officers wearing plainclothes were in an unmarked car in south Philadelphia at about 7:20 p.m.
Intercepted ballots, forged signatures and questionably high voting rates plagued Wisconsin’s nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the 2020 presidential election, a state-appointed investigator said. In light of the findings, the investigator said, the ballots from those facilities should be audited. The special counsel’s report was issued Tuesday after an examination of 2020 election integrity. It said Wisconsin officials ditched legal requirements for supervising nursing home ballots during the pandemic, encouraging widespread voter fraud. The 136-page report includes eye-popping data of voter participation at dozens of nursing homes and residential care facilities in five Wisconsin counties.(Snip)The results, Mr. Gableman said, showed “absurd results
Married Republican Rep. Van Taylor dropped his bid for reelection Wednesday after apologizing for having a nine-month affair with the so-called 'ISIS bride.' 'Today I am announcing I will not continue my campaign to seek reelection to Congres,' Taylor emailed supporters, according to The Dallas Morning News.

I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life.'(Snip)Joya, born in London to a Muslim Bangladeshi family, became radicalized at age 17 after the September 11 terror attacks.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain gave President Joe Biden grade-A marks for his fitness in a post-State of the Union interview Wednesday. 'He's definitely in better shape than I am, that's for sure. He's very fit, he works out almost every day in the morning before he comes down to the Oval Office,' Klain said in a virtual interview with the Economic Club of Washington. 'I think his fitness, his vigor, is beyond question.'
Speaking to billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, Klain pointed to the 79-year-old Biden's performance at Tuesday night's State ofthe Union as evidence that being the country's oldest president isn't holding the Democrat back.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr recounted the dramatic moment when former President slammed his hand on his desk and ordered him to go home without delay after he disputed Trump's election fraud claims.
Barr resigned his post shortly before Christmas in 2020, just weeks before the end of Trump's term – in an event that has since been revealed to be a sign of inner White House turmoil over Trump's efforts to push his fraud claims even after they were thrown out of a succession of courts.
In recent years, a number of parents and grandparents have discovered an alarming trend: children no longer know how to write in cursive.
Such a discovery led to a considerable backlash against programs such as Common Core, which many viewed as the culprit squeezing out cursive instruction. Thanks to increased attention on the subject, many states have implemented laws mandating that cursive be taught in school.
But what happens when children begin to learn cursive and can’t hold their pencil properly?
Amazingly, this is the growing reality in a number of countries. The Guardian explains:
GARDINER, Mont.— On public land north of Yellowstone National Park late last year, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) shot and killed a mountain lion that was being monitored by National Park Service staff, after hunting dogs had chased it up a tree. The mountain lion hunt, which has not been previously reported, occurred on Dec. 28 on a swath of U.S. Forest Service land southwest of Emigrant, Mont., according to residents familiar with the episode who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preserve relationships in the community.
The Laws of Economics are as immutable as the Law of Gravity, but few leftists grasp this fact. When it comes to the Democrats’ energy policies, I believe this immutability will finally be the Democrats’ downfall. People are reaching a pain point that the progressives can no longer deflect onto others. (snip) For the right cause, say a short-term need to defend the US against an aggressor to protect us, citizens do make sacrifices, as we saw in World War II with rationing. But sane Americans won’t do it for progressive, leftist, or Marxist authoritarian causes.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday sparred with a Fox News reporter over Biden’s decision to continue to buy oil from Russia while putting restrictions on domestic energy production.“As long as we’re buying Russian oil, though, aren’t we financing the war?” Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Psaki.
“Well, Jacqui, again, it’s only about 10% of what we’re importing. I’ve not made any announcement about any decision on that front,” Psaki said.If Psaki can brush off the fact that Russia is only 10%

The White House is actively discussing sending Vice President Harris to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, in the coming days to show solidarity with Ukraine as it faces an escalating Russian invasion, sources familiar with the conversations tell The Hill. The discussions involve sending Harris to visit troops stationed in Romania and potentially to the border with Ukraine, where a refugee crisis has seen more than 1 million people flee that country since the Russian attack.The trip could happen in the coming weeks, one source said, adding that there is no active dialogue about sending President Biden to the region.
Legislation promoting U.S. energy independence from Russia has been blocked by House Democrats.
House Republicans introduced the “American Independence from Russian Energy Act” on Feb. 28, a measure meant to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline, boost domestic oil and gas production, and prevent President Joe Biden’s executive branch agencies from halting energy leasing on federal land and water, among other provisions. Yet on March 1, the legislation was shot down in a 221–202 vote, almost entirely along partisan lines.

I know I’m preaching to the choir a bit here, but just to reiterate a point made by many people on both sides of the aisle in the past, longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak – who is a conservative – is an absolute national treasure. He proved it again Wednesday in a pretty epic Twitter thread where he dunked on Internet shamers for piling on contestants of the show over a wild and frustrating-to-watch series of spins during the Tuesday episode that went viral.The segment in question was about a common phrase that people who may not have known it at the time of the show’s airing
Justice correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal, said Thursday morning the U.S. should throw out the Constitution for something “more inclusive.”While speaking on Pix 11, Mystal explained how he believes the Constitution does not guarantee equal rights for everyone.“Now in your book, ‘Allow Me To Retort,’ you reframe politics and the Constitution by kind of breaking down how it all impacts voting rights, LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, the list goes on and on. So, are you arguing that the Constitution needs to be scrapped altogether?” the host asked.(Tweet/Video) “Sure,” a laughing Mystal responded.

The restaurant that brags about serving garbage to its customers, and spitting in it while the waitress stands there laughing, wonders why the tables are empty. I hope they don't lose any money; that would be a real American tragedy.
