The coronavirus crisis presents an opportunity for a “new kind of capitalism” and “great reset” of global economies, politics, and societies, according to World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab. Schwab claims neo-liberalism is dead and with it traditional notions of economic capitalism. In their place is a set of “Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics” the WEF says enables the world to progress under one set of overarching rules as drawn up by it, with “social justice” a key component of this brave new world. He foresees the coronavirus crisis as too good an opportunity not to “re-evaluate sacred...

With nine days before Election Day, more people already have cast ballots in this year’s presidential election than voted early or absentee in the 2016 race as the start of in-person early voting in big states led to a surge in turnout in recent days. The opening of early voting locations in Florida, Texas and elsewhere has piled millions of new votes on top of the mail ballots arriving at election offices as voters try to avoid crowded places on Nov. 3 during the coronavirus pandemic. The result is a total of 58.6 million ballots cast so far, more than...

Click through to the North Carolina map. It is a different flavor than the Florida map - this one is not for live updating so much, it's for browsing and playing with demographic data. Note that the 'database' is entirely client side (compressed from 5GB to 4MB). It seems to work OK on my cell phone but a little lag is expected in the initial load and again on the queries.

A senior White House official told Fox News on Sunday Trump is planning to remove Wray President Trump could remove FBI Director Christopher Wray should he win reelection next Tuesday, Fox News has learned. A senior White House official told Fox News on Sunday Trump is planning to remove Wray from his post if the president defeats Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the presidential election next week. Another senior administration official told Fox News that Wray is likely to be gone after the election.

A surge in coronavirus cases in counties critical to President Donald Trump’s victory may disrupt his plans to drive up in-person voting on Nov. 3, potentially reducing Republican turnout in areas the president can least afford it. In Kenosha, a Wisconsin county that voted for Barack Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016, the positivity rate for COVID-19 test results has reached 27%. In relatively populous Westmoreland County in Western Pennsylvania where Trump won by more than 50,000 votes four years ago, the positivity rate for coronavirus cases has nearly tripled in two weeks, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. And...

A family of seven -- including four kids -- were pepper-sprayed by violent rioters on Sunday while participating in a “Jews For Trump” rally in New York City. A member of the family told Fox News that the unprovoked attack happened while the family was driving down 5th Ave with the car windows down and Trump flags displayed. The man, who wished to remain anonymous fearing his family could be targeted, said a car pulled up next to them and unleashed pepper spray into their vehicle. "Immediately the kids started crying and screaming and I jumped out of the car...

To efficiently infect human cells, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is able to use a receptor called Neuropilin-1, which is very abundant in many human tissues including the respiratory tract, blood vessels and neurons. The breakthrough discovery was made by a German-Finnish team of researchers led by neuroscientists Mika Simons, Technical University of Munich, Germany and virologist Giuseppe Balistreri, Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland. Why is the new coronavirus so infectious? "That SARS-CoV-2 uses the receptor ACE2 to infect our cells was known, but viruses often use multiple factors to maximize their infectious potential"...

In John 5 it tells about the pool of Bethesda, where people were waiting all around it for an angel would come down and trouble the water and the first one that stepped in was healed of whatever they had. In Mark 5 it tells about the women with the issue of blood that touched the hem of Jesus garment and was healed. We have something better than the pool of Bethesda. We have something better than the hem of Jesus garment we have the word of God. The word of God is God's medicine. Those things worked from the...

COVID Vaccine status. There are dozens of vaccines developed already, we are in the testing phase right now. Thanks for President Trump, there are actually many doses made and in storage, waiting for approval. Final phase 3 takes about 2 months after recruiting subjects, at least 30,000 people for Covid. Status: Astra-Zeneca finished recruitment September 3. They could be done with testing on election day! After data are collected, FDA has to approve. They often sit on this for a while, but knowing Trump, they will not. So this really could be available in December! As Trump predicts. Moderna just...

In The Plot Against the President, her remarkable new feature documentary now streaming on Amazon Prime, producer-director Amanda Milius (daughter of Hollywood legend John Milius) does a solid job explaining the Byzantine "Russiagate" hoax and how it was used to sabotage and undermine President Trump in his first term. It's a story you won't see on Frontline or 60 Minutes, and clearly a must-see documentary for anyone interested in the real scandal behind the impeachment of President Trump. Personally, I found it depressing to watch the corruption, dishonesty, and striking lack of basic patriotism manifested at so many intelligence, foreign...

The president of Fox News and several of the network’s top anchors have been advised to quarantine after being exposed to someone on a private flight who later tested positive for the coronavirus, two people with direct knowledge of the situation said on Sunday. The infected person was on a charter flight to New York from Nashville with a group of network executives, personalities and other staff members who attended the presidential debate on Thursday, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal network matters. Everyone on board the plane has been told to...

There are two elections taking place in America - one on the quaintly named "Election Day", the other in the weeks (and possibly months) before and after. Having access to what he calls some "deep-in-the-weeds" data, Powerline's Steve Hayward writes: Early votes cast already supposedly favor Biden (assuming respondents are being truthful with surveyors that they have in fact cast their ballots), but of people saying they intend to vote in person on election day, Trump is ahead almost 3 to 1 in some states. My conclusion: Trump is going to win a landslide among votes cast on election day....

by Ron Kersten 77-year-old Joe Biden on Sunday evening participated in a virtual event after calling a lid all day just 9 days until Election Day. It didn’t go well. Biden confused President Trump with former president George Bush. “…What kind of country we’re gonna be. Four more years of George…uh George uh he uh is gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we’re gonna uh we’re gonna be in a different world,” said Biden. Notice his handler wife Jill tried to help Biden a little -- mouthing Trump's name 2-3 times -- as he was struggling to...

US Marine officers are notoriously dismissive of those who talk about strategy. "Strategy?" a Marine who served in Vietnam says. "Here was our strategy: hey-diddle-diddle, straight-up-the-middle." The description rings true: The Marine Corps' most famous fights were straight-ahead affairs that gave the Corps its most celebrated moments: at Belleau Wood (in World War I), at Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa (in World War II), at Inchon (during Korea), at Hue (in Vietnam) and, most recently during the battles for Fallujah, back in 2004. Now, it seems, all of that is changing. In August of last year, Marine Corps Commandant Gen....

Freeman’s full tweet reads: Exactly how much money do I need to give the Democratic Party for them to pull their shit together? Get angry. Get mean. Get low. We care about people. Awesome. That doesn’t mean we can’t occasionally slide a knife between some asshole’s ribs. Fellow Microsoft employees, including Program Manager Alex Dupler, appeared to endorse Freeman’s tweet, asking “where do I sign up?”
