The current 700 miles plus Border Fences Upgrade Project is now over 400 miles completed, and the majority of the remaining miles are now currently under construction instead of being pre construction.

Pa. Health Department Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine issued another round of coronavirus mitigation strategies on Tuesday, including an update to the state’s longstanding universal face coverings order. Now, the DoH has released a list of frequently asked questions related to the new mask rules, which are now in effect. For starters, a news release said that the updated parts of the order “strengthen it” compared to what was put into place way back on April 15. Highlights of what’s new, per the Wolf administration, include: Masks are required to be worn indoors and outdoors if you are away from your...

Pfizer's and BioNTech's vaccine candidate has been crushing it in clinical trials. Their latest data, revealed Wednesday morning, shows that the candidate is 95 percent effective and has consistent results across "age, gender, race and ethnicity demographics." On top of that, they've reported no serious safety concerns. "Primary efficacy analysis demonstrates BNT162b2 to be 95% effective against COVID-19 beginning 28 days after the first dose;170 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine group." The results should be celebrated. And they have been, by people not interested in politics. But...

Please use the source url above to access the case Docket. The last entry, made November 18th, is quite involved. I understand that Rudy argued the case for about 5 hours. I would appreciate it if FReepers knowledgable in legal matters could dissect and help us sort through this. It appears to me Judge is giving the Trump team an opportunity to cure some matters before proceeding to an Evidentiary hearing. Is that correct?

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] The modern Democrat Party has evolved into little more than a hate and death cult, and never was that on more stark display than at yesterday’s meeting of the Wayne Count Canvassing Board in Detroit, Michigan. During the course of the hearing, the two Republican members of that Board were subjected to violent threats, lasting assaults on their reputations and doxxing of their school-aged children from Democrat witnesses.

Voters who want a recount in their precinct can contact their county election boards in groups of at least three, producing affidavits that allege fraud or error. County election boards must resolve such claims before they issue certified counts, due Nov. 23. There are about 9,100 precincts across the state. Once a county declares it has finished its count — a date that will vary — a five-day period starts, during which groups of at least three voters in a precinct can assert claims of fraud or error before their county’s common pleas court. In each precinct, that requires the...

The Georgia GOP claimed Wednesday that an election monitor has discovered a 9,626 vote error in Dekalb County during the presidential race recount that would have substantially increased Democratic candidate Joe Biden's lead over President Trump had it not been caught.

With a greater focus on enforcing mask wearing on the horizon, the city of Bend has a hotline residents can call about businesses not adhering to the statewide mask mandate.

The number is 541-323-7155.Callers to the hotline must leave a message and include the name of the business, the date and time of the violation and a description of the violation, according to the city. Anonymous calls are...

Wow. A low-flying space rock set a record last Friday (appropriately, the 13th), when 2020 VT4 passed just under 400 kilometers (250 miles) over the Southern Pacific. The asteroid was spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii in the early morning hours of Saturday, November 14, just 15 hours after approach. This is not uncommon for fast-movers, especially asteroids that are coming at the Earth from our sunward blind-spot, like 2020 VT4. Newly-discovered asteroid A10sHcN approached Earth yesterday, passing only a few hundred miles above the South Pacific Ocean. This...

To adapt former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's famous 2002 press statement, the world's next big shooting war will be a consequential event masked by known unknowns. The human historical record tells us a major armed (kinetic) conflict involving powerful nations will eventually erupt. Given contemporary economic interdependence and the lethality of modern weaponry, the conflict will have disruptive global consequences, many of them grim. However, what geopolitical issues shape and misshape The Next Big War; who wages the hostility and for what reasons; how the combatants prepare to wage it; where and how the combatants engage; and how the...

In tribal areas, Native American nonprofits illegally offered gift cards, electronics, and other 'prizes' in an effort to get out the vote—for Joe Biden. ============================================================================= It should surprise no one that Nevada has problems with election security and voter fraud, especially after the state mailed an absentee ballot to every registered voter this year whether he requested one or not, then received back more than eight times as many mail-in ballots as they did in 2016. That’s part of the reason Republicans in Nevada filed another lawsuit on Tuesday alleging widespread voter fraud and irregularities. The mass mailing of unsolicited...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Donald Trump has paid $3 million for a partial recount in Wisconsin but has yet to file a petition indicating which counties it is targeting, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said Wednesday. The Trump campaign has told the commission that it will file the petition by the 5 p.m. deadline, the commission tweeted. A statewide recount would cost Trump $7.9 million. The $3 million he paid would be enough to cover the $2.8 million cost of a recount in the state’s two most Democratic counties of Milwaukee and Dane. In those counties, Democrat Joe Biden received...

A major Danish study has found face masks give no clear protection from Covid-19 infection to the wearer, but did not examine whether the wearer protects others by using the item. The study compared how well protected one group of people who used masks were compared with a second group who did not use them. The results of the study were announced in a statement released by In the non-face mask group, 2.1 percent of participants were infected with new coronavirus, while 1.8 percent of participants in the face mask-wearing group were infected. That difference is not big enough to...

A prominent Brooklyn couple was sued by the city on Tuesday for allegedly trying to kick tenants out of their building in spite of a pause on evictions during the pandemic. The landlords, so-called “eco-builder” Gennaro Brooks-Church and his ex-wife Loretta Gendville, the former owner of a hipster kids’ boutique empire, are accused of harassing the inhabitants of their Crown Heights home in July to get them to move out. The incident made headlines over the summer when a group of protesters managed to stop what officials had blasted as a heartless and illegal eviction of tenants from the three-story...
