NEW YORK - - The publisher of John Bolton’s highly anticipated memoir has pushed back the release date from March 17 to mid-May. Simon & Schuster cited the ongoing government security review of the former national security adviser’s “The Room Where It Happened.” The new date is May 12, the publisher said in a news release. “The new date reflects the fact that the government review of the work is ongoing,” Simon & Schuster said. The Associated Press reported last November that Bolton had reached a $2 million deal with Simon & Schuster. The book focuses on Bolton’s contentious time...

On January 8, 2020, Chesa Boudin became San Francisco's newest district attorney. A lifelong leftist who was raised by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn after his own parents were imprisoned for felony murder committed while they were part of the Weather Underground, Boudin is dedicated to undermining the American system. His latest pronouncement about what constitutes "justice" in a Boudin administration is in sync with this mission. In November, when it looked as if San Franciscans were going to hand their criminal justice system over to a man looking to destroy it, Monica Showalter had a few choice words for...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday widened the ability of states to use criminal laws against illegal immigrants and other people who do not have work authorization in the United States in a ruling involving identity theft prosecutions in Kansas. In the decision, the justices upheld the authority of states to prosecute immigrants for identity theft when applying for a job. The court found that Kansas did not unlawfully encroach on federal authority over immigration policy in charging three men accused of using other people’s Social Security numbers. The justices overturned a 2017 Kansas Supreme Court decision that...

The Democratic establishment seems more concerned with protecting themselves than with beating President Trump. Heading out of the Nevada primary last week, the Democratic Party establishment was in a bit of a panic. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., had gotten the most votes in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. The establishment’s initial pick for the nomination, former Vice President Joe Biden, had been struggling for months on the campaign trail, sometimes seeming to be confused about who and where he was.Megabillionaire Mike Bloomberg, who had entered the fray to save the party from Sanders and Biden, revealed himself to be a...

In the months since the novel coronavirus rose from a regional crisis to a global threat, drug makers large and small have scrambled to advance their best ideas for thwarting a pandemic.Some are repurposing old antivirals. Some are mobilizing tried-and-true technologies, and others are pressing forward with futuristic approaches to human medicine.Here’s a guide to some of the most talked-about efforts to treat or prevent coronavirus infection, with details on the science, history, and timeline for each endeavor.advertisement Gilead Sciences Approach: Treatment Stage: Phase 3Gilead’s remdesivir, an intravenous treatment, has already been used to treat one infected patient in the...

We are seeing the folly of past administrations of both parties playing out in real time, illuminated by a deadly virus out of the heart of China. And it is making something abundantly clear. President Trump was more right on trade and border security than even I thought — and those were the two areas I considered him strongest in 2016. In fact, no one else was even talking about trade agreements. The underlying thesis of Donald Trump’s push to re-do trade agreements with China and our North American neighbors — which might be called the Trump Doctrine — was...

A doctor on the front lines of battling coronavirus in the US said this week that the rapid spread of the deadly bug has risen to the level of an “outbreak” — and possibly even a “pandemic.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, told NBC Nightly News’ Richard Engel Monday that the illness — which has infected 100 people, killing six in the US — is “an evolving situation.” “We’re dealing with clearly an emerging infectious disease that is now reached outbreak proportions...

Health officials in Nassau County, New York, said on Wednesday they were monitoring 83 people who visited China and may have come in contact with the coronavirus. But Governor Andrew Cuomo said the county has had no confirmed cases so far. ‘This situation is not a situation that should cause undue fear,’ Cuomo told a news conference, saying that 27 people in New York have tested negative for the virus. At a separate news conference, officials in Nassau County, just east of New York City on Long Island, said that while they were monitoring 83 people, there were no confirmed...

Former Vice President Joe Biden made yet another gaffe while campaigning ahead of Super Tuesday — referring to the slew of primary races as “Super Thursday.” Speaking to supporters at a campaign stop Monday in Houston, Texas, the blooper-prone presidential hopeful appeared to get his days mixed up while rallying the crowd. “Join us! Go to JoeBiden.com, sign up, volunteer, contribute if you can, but we need you very badly. Every vote matters tomorrow. Look, tomorrow is Super Thurs– Tuesday. And I want to thank you all,” Biden said before catching himself mid-error. “I’m rushing ahead, aren’t I?” the 2020...

Having closely observed employee activity in both healthcare settings and in restaurants, especially the back-of-the-house, I note that many, many employees constantly check their cell phones while on duty. They do not wash their hands. Many studies have shown how filthy cell phones are and when cultured, even exhibit fecal matter in the results. Based on this, I believe that this behavior can accelerate the transmission of infectious diseases. And, a case can be made to say that this constitutes "Reckless Endangerment", especially in our current environment. Therefore, I hope that Public Health Departments will compel employees to use their...

A medical doctor who worked as a personal physician to Bill and Hillary Clinton testifies at the military tribunals that Hillary died in 2016 from a horrible disease brought on by her own deranged behavior. But through the miracle of modern science, she was revived, and her body continues to function to this day. Taxpayers are footing the bill for the technique that keeps her alive. But who is paying the price?

The governor of Georgia along with state and health officials on the COVID-19 task force held a news conference at 9 p.m. Gov. Kemp announced that two cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the state of Georgia. Kemp said that the cases were of a husband and wife who had recently returned from Italy. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced the formation of a new coronavirus task force on Friday to assess Georgia’s virus readiness and procedures that are in place for “preventing, identifying, and if needed, addressing cases of COVID-19.” Following a Friday morning call with Vice President Mike...

A student whose classmates met and shook hands with Vice President Mike Pence has reportedly been put under quarantine after his mom came into contact with a patient who tested positive for coronavirus. The unnamed male student from Sarasota Military Academy and his mother have both been quarantined at home, according to a post on the academy’s Facebook page. The Herald Tribune reported that the mother came in contact with an infected person through her “professional role” but neither of the two are exhibiting any symptoms of the coronavirus. On Friday, Sarasota cadets shook hands and posed for photos with...

It seems so long ago that the first openly gay candidate won the Iowa caucuses. Mere weeks later, the Pete Buttigieg campaign is now past tense, as the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Wherever that leaves Buttigieg and his future political prospects — or any future LGBTQ candidate — this moment affords us an opportunity to ask ourselves where the nation as a whole really is in terms of acceptance of LGBTQ candidates. To be clear, I’m not arguing that Buttigieg was unsuccessful only...

A second person in New York has tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said Tuesday, leading to the closure of a Bronx private school where one of the patient’s children attends. The new patient, a 50-year-old attorney, lives in New Rochelle, N.Y., north of New York City, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday. The man works in Manhattan and had an underlying respiratory illness. He went into the NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville and was then transferred to a hospital in Manhattan, officials said. Mr. Cuomo said he didn’t know if the man took public transportation, but his movements were being...

The girl had been at the Jonas Brothers concert on February 14, where there were thousands of people: it will not be easy to track them down since the tickets are not nominal. The daughter of a police officer from Spinaceto had been to a concert at the Assago Forum on February 14th - . she would have been infectious there. Her father, the policeman is in bad shape and on a respirator...They're trying to track down people from the concert and the train she took to get there, but this could be a major vector for Italy.

I had the same thought as Jazz did when I woke up this morning: How funny would it be if the big Biden surge of the past three days turned out to be a nothingburger on Super Tuesday? All this hype, all these sudden endorsements, and he ends up being totally overrun by the Berniebros. It’s not that unlikely — it’s basically what happened to Bernie after Nevada. A huge win that was supposed to trigger a wave of unstoppable momentum hit a brick wall. Why couldn’t it happen to Joe? It could! But it doesn’t look like it’s going...
