Just over three months ago, a “high-level pandemic exercise” entitled “Event 201” was held in New York City. On October 18th the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in conjunction with the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, brought together “15 leaders of business, government, and public health” to simulate a scenario in which a coronavirus pandemic was ravaging the planet. The current coronavirus outbreak that originated in China did not begin until December, and so at that time it was supposedly just a hypothetical exercise. The following comes from the official page for this event…...

The man said he was delivering a pizza at an apartment complex in east Charlotte late Monday night when he was approached by four suspects who pointed what appeared to be an assault rifle at his head, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

The Senate spectator gallery was at least half-empty throughout the first week of President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and senators serving as the jury in the marathon sessions are taking notice — some stunned that there aren’t more people watching history unfold, while others understand the public avoiding the repetitive proceedings. “I’m really surprised at that because this is kind of historic and I would think this would be an opportunity for people to get in there regardless of whose side you are on,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) told The Post Friday. Journalists aren’t allowed to bring cellphones or cameras...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- After we reported a Colorado Springs barista's harrowing encounter with a knife-wielding car thief, deputies say they caught the suspect and found the vehicle up in the Denver metroplex. The robbery happened Tuesday morning at Morning Glory; the barista on duty told us that a woman walked in and tried to buy a muffin but her card was declined. The barista let the woman stay inside to warm up, but when the other customers left, the woman became belligerent and then pulled out a knife. Employees in a nearby food truck tried to stop...

Donald Trump became the first president to attend the annual March for Life in Washington on Friday, unleashing a fierce attack on his Democratic rivals during a rally in an election-year show of support for opponents of abortion rights. 'Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House,' the Republican president told thousands of cheering people at the rally, touting his anti-abortion policies and his appointments of conservatives to the federal judiciary including Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. Among his most loyal political supporters are evangelical Christians, who strongly oppose abortion rights. The event...

MEXICO CITY—Three years after President Trump vowed to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico to stop illegal immigrants, a much more effective obstacle has emerged: Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Earlier this week, Mexico deployed hundreds of troops from its new National Guard to halt a caravan of some 2,000 Central American migrants who crossed a shallow river on Guatemala’s border with Mexico seeking to make their way to the U.S. Mexican television broadcast video of the guardsmen using plastic shields and tear gas to break up the migrant caravan. On Thursday, a phalanx of guardsmen...

A German town and Josef Mengele, Auschwitz 'angel of death' As the Red Army approached Auschwitz, the Nazi "angel of death," Josef Mengele, fled. He outlived many of his victims. The people who survived his experiments remain scarred; his birthplace struggles with his legacy. Lidia Maksymowicz was 3 years old when she and her family arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in December 1943, deported by Nazi Germany from the Minsk area in Belarus. It was late at night. The ramp was brightly lit. SS troops were shouting. Guard dogs were barking. Families were violently torn apart. Lidia was separated...

In terms of seriousness, I realize that this question ranks right up there with “Why is There Air?” (which was a pretty funny comedy album from back in the 60s). There have been hundreds of books and articles which have examined the “roots of progressive rage.” At times I believe that we have seen so much progressive fury that we have almost become inured to it. Like most people, I usually adhere to the philosophy of “fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and progressives gotta rant.” However, during the holiday season, I ran across two instances that caused me to...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago resident is the second confirmed case of coronavirus in the United States after she returned from traveling in Wuhan, China, the CDC confirmed Friday. The CDC said that the patient, a woman in her 60s, is clinically doing well and is in stable condition. She traveled to Wuhan in late December and returned to the U.S. on January 13. The woman was not showing symptoms when she returned, but started feeling unwell a few days after returning, the CDC said. "She was administering to her elderly father, who was sick while she was there," said...

PALM COAST, Fla. — A woman is now facing felony charges after resisting arrest and biting a deputy Friday, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Officers responded to a call in Palm Coast in reference to a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, deputies met with Cherie Saunders, 38 in her driveway with her make-up smeared, no shoes, slurred speech and a heavy scent of alcohol coming from her, according to deputies.

... Davos is, without rival, the global forum of the people who run most of the world: chief executives, investors, leaders of emerging technology companies, heads of government, leading writers, artists, performers, the panoply of nongovernmental organizations that direct global conversation about the big issues of the day. Half a century ago, the debate among this elite crowd represented a fair diversity of views. If anything, the consensus, such as it was, tended toward a conservative one: The dominating issues were how to restore growth in a stagnating world, how to revive capitalism. Today, Davos reflects perfectly the stultifying ideological...

In a post, the self-proclaimed medical worker said patients were being sent in non-stop without any quarantine measures in place. She warned that "everyone will end up being infected and dying". In the video, sheets cover what appears to be bodies sprawled up and door...

The lengthy defense of the Biden family by House Democrats during President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial opened the door to probing whether Joe and Hunter Biden were involved in corruption in Ukraine, the defense team says. A source on Trump’s legal team told reporters Friday that “it became quite apparent yesterday from the House managers that they’ve made it very relevant to the case, that they spent a lot of time bringing the Bidens into this case and have established that there is something relevant that’s there.” The source said “we’ll have to be addressing that since they opened that...

When I first started writing for National Review in 2015, Nick Frankovich was my editor. He always was kind and professional, offering advice on how I could develop my nascent writing style. Although we never met in person, he appeared to be cautious and reserved. I know he is a man of deep faith and very devoted to the magazine William F. Buckley, Jr. founded in 1955. So it seemed way out of character for Frankovich to author an angry post about the Covington Catholic High School incident just as the details were emerging. His article—”The Covington Students Might As...

Christopher Caldwell’s new book, The Age of Entitlement, offers a striking revision of recent American history that has the advantage of being readily summarized. The polarization of political opinion and the dissolution of the American fabric, he argues, has its roots in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which represented a sharp break with the past. “The changes of the 1960s, with civil rights at their core,” he explains, “were not just a major new element in the Constitution. They were a rival constitution, with which the original one was frequently incompatible.” The common narrative surrounding civil rights,...
