Coronavirus cases are rising in almost every U.S. state. But the surge is worst now in places where leaders neglected to keep up forceful virus containment efforts or failed to implement basic measures like mask mandates in the first place, according to a New York Times analysis of data from the University of Oxford. Using an index that tracks policy responses to the pandemic, these charts show the number of new virus cases and hospitalizations in each state relative to the state’s recent containment measures.

America is on the verge of sanctioning a socialist takeover of the greatest government ever established on the face of the Earth. What are we doing about it? Are we in solidarity with our president, or are we tacitly admitting defeat in the midst of the battle? Are conservatives who criticize the president's legal team, as Rush Limbaugh did, helping the president or the insurgents? Are those who say Georgia is now our only hope, the Senate our last chance, encouraging patriots or the enemy? The subliminal message is that we've already lost the White House, so the Senate is...

The blast happened around 5 pm local time At least 17 people were killed when two explosions on Tuesday rocked a busy market in Afghanistan’s Bamyan province, a central region that has until now been considered the country’s safest.The blast happened around 5pm local time with provincial spokesperson Latif Azimi saying that civilians were deliberately targeted in the neighbourhood, which is home mostly to the Shia minority of Hazara people.“Local people were working and shopping in the area, many were on their way home. There wasn’t any military nearby,” he told The Telegraph.No group has yet claimed the attack, but...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3909872/posts Nice to see Supreme Court success at removing restrictions on religious institutions in NY. - Freepers keep coming here saying it is more than the flu. This is NOT more than the flu. Even if we accept the fake death tolls then this is not more than the WWI Spanish flu and on par with the Asian and Hong Kong flus of 1957 and 1968. Additionally, if you consider human years lost then this is very mild as it doesn’t really kill young healthy people. I repeat - this is not more than the...

The Pfizer Corporation announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form and this new product will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just a good old-fashioned stiff drink. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. Thought for the day...There is more money being spent on...

One must read to the end of The Washington Post's editorial, "Abolish the electoral college," before hitting on the real reason the Post's editors want to upend the long-standing constitutional institution. "Mr. Trump's election was a sad event for the nation," notes the Post, "his reelection would have been a calamity." Maybe, maybe not. That's a matter of partisan perspective. Those who are genuinely concerned about the future of American governance would be calling to strengthen institutions that provide political stability, not destroy them. But when your concerns about "American democracy" are really just a euphemism for partisan power grabs,...

Good Morning! The meal leftovers are in the fridge, until later today. The big Tyson event looms. The newsmedia continues feeding its pablum, unchecked. The Democrats continue counting their eggs, unhatched. The Republicans are quite silent. The stimulus carrot on a stick check dropped, having worked its election magick. Former VP Biden slips further into the "He Has No Clothes" tailorshop. And all the while ... Trump is still yo' Prez-dent!

No fewer than three villagers were killed and one other abducted when Boko Haram terrorists raided a community in Cameroon’s Far North region. The raid took place overnight till Thursday morning, according to local sources. The terrorists attacked Gabass village of Koza subdivision of the region when the villagers were deep asleep. A search and rescue mission of the abducted civilian was in progress in the region, according to the army.

In the first two decades of the century, Joe Biden's choice for secretary of state supported U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. He was an ever-reliable liberal interventionist. This same Antony Blinken could spend the first years of a potential Biden presidency helping extricate our country from the misbegotten wars he championed. What establishment Democrats like Biden and Blinken helped to do in previous administrations, they will likely now have to undo. Who effected this sea change in national thinking? Donald Trump. Much that was said and believed before he came down the escalator in 2015 is...

The United States election has shone a bright light on America’s voting system. One company that supplies voting machines is Smartmatic. Smartmatic’s machines have been used in some of America’s most populous voting centers, including Los Angeles and Chicago. The company is a member of the Election Infrastructure Subsector Coordinating Council, a commission that coordinates with the Department of Homeland Security to ensure election security. The company is owned by a holding company in the United Kingdom, sgo. For the last six years, chairman of the sgo board has been former Labour politician Lord Mark Malloch-Brown. Who is the man...

Progressives have their lists of individuals they plan on punishing for their support of Donald Trump. Significant changes will be taking place in the era of the Biden/Harris administration. Progressives will begin by identifying people who have opposed the results of this election. Sure, Joe Biden has claimed this won't happen. But it hasn't drawn any apologies from progressives. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked, “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?” Michael Simon, a former Obama administration staffer, responded “Yes, we are. Every administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer...

The Fat Lady has not yet begun to warble. We need to begin with what most people almost surely know, despite the predictable disclaimers and pro forma expressions of doubt emerging all over the infoscape, namely, the 2020 election is in process of being stolen in what amounts to an insidiously deceptive coup d’état. It is fair to assume that this is common knowledge. The circumstantial evidence is dispositive. Biden was rarely able to manage a rally of more than a dozen or two stalwarts while Trump’s rallies could top 50,000; Biden garnered more votes than even Obama did, a...

In the aftermath of this election, it is clear that no election will ever be the same again. The level of distrust can hardly be measured. The level of anger is palpable. The desire for revenge is formidable. Every future election will be contested; every outcome will be doubted. But what if Trump had prevailed? What would have happened if the voter turnout was so overwhelming that it had overcome the Democrats' attempts at stealing the election? Would we not just be overjoyed that we "dodged a bullet"? Would we not just celebrate the victory while paying lip service to...

Joe Biden came out with his first Cabinet picks before Thanksgiving, and the media were falling all over themselves with compliments. Oh, they are all so thoroughly professional, deeply experienced and manifestly competent. The media even tried to suggest with a straight face that this warmed-over pile of Obama administration appointees is "not going to be political." How ridiculous. Elected people -- and their appointees -- have to be political. At least they're not demanding Joe Biden be inaugurated early. In 2008, they were so deeply enchanted with then-President-elect Barack Obama that they wanted to slash the transition period in...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Over four decades, Mary Nichols has been the regulator behind some of the nation’s most ambitious climate policies and, in recent years, she’s been their staunchest defender against President Donald Trump’s effort to dismantle them. With Joe Biden heading to the White House, Nichols hopes she is not done yet. Nichols, 75, ends her second tenure as chair of the California Air Resources Board next month, a job that’s made her the top air and climate regulator for the nation’s most populous and economically influential state. She is viewed as a leading contender to be named as...

A Talent man has been charged with murder after police say he shot and killed a Black teenager in the parking lot of an Ashland hotel on Monday. The shooting has drawn condemnation from Southern Oregon’s Black community, which raised concerns about the area’s culture and history of white supremacy. The teen, whose name has not been publicly confirmed by police, has been widely identified on social media and in news reports as Aiden Ellison, 19. Another Ashland resident Robert Keegan, 47, has been charged with his murder. Keegan is facing four criminal counts, including second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, reckless...

RIYADH/JERUSALEM - A historic meeting between Israel’s prime minister and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince has sent a strong signal to allies and enemies alike that the two countries remain deeply committed to containing their common foe Iran. Last Sunday’s covert meeting in the Saudi city of Neom, confirmed by Israeli officials but publicly denied by Riyadh, conveyed a coordinated message to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden that Washington’s main allies in the region are closing ranks. It was the first publicly confirmed visit to Saudi Arabia by an Israeli leader and a meeting that was unthinkable until recently as the two...
