“They’re called the Bravest, not the Smartest,” cracked one FDNY member, referring to firefighters who say they will refuse the COVID vaccine. Whatever the reason, that’s the city’s sworn protectors adding to the public’s risks. As The Post’s Sara Dorn reports, a poll found that 55 percent of FDNY firefighters say they’ll skip the shot. First responders are to be offered the vaccine early on, but union boss Andrew Ansbro says some members “don’t want to be on the front of the line.” He notes that 35 percent were already exposed to the virus and thus think they don’t need...

As a general matter, it has always been my view that when you begin a legal argument with a “The Sky is Falling” pronouncement, where the “warning” tells the Court nothing that it does not know already, you are actually insulting the intelligence of the Judge — or in this case the Justices — by wasting time with useless theatrics. This was my reaction to one of the sentences set forth in the opening of the Response filed by the Pennsylvania state defendants to the Emergency Application for Injunctive Relief filed by Congressman Mike Kelly and other Plaintiffs earlier today....

Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who said he is “pro-choice” on abortion, also said that President-elect Joe Biden (D) “might be right” in his view that “life begins at conception.” On several occasions, Biden has said that “life begins at conception” but he would not interfere with doctors who abort human lives in the womb. At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Senator Murphy, “Do you agree with Joe Biden that life begins at conception?” Sen. Murphy said, “I’m pro-choice, I think it should be up to, you know, every woman and every individual to make that choice on their own.”...

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, San Francisco rents have plummeted more than any other major city in the country. The average rent in one San Francisco neighborhood is now to $1,600. Some housing experts even argue the city has turned in to a renter’s market. The mass exodus in San Francisco during the pandemic resulted in more housing supply and less demand but, even after big price drops, San Francisco still retains the title as the most expensive rental market in the country. At $2,700 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, the city tops New York and Los...

The criminal case against General Michael Flynn has finally and officially been dismissed by Federal Judge Emmitt Sullivan in a 43-page long opinion. "It is further ordered that this case be dismissed as moot," Sullivan wrote. The dismissal comes two weeks after President Trump pardoned Flynn. "The President has pardoned General Flynn because he should never have been prosecuted. An independent review of General Flynn’s case by the Department of Justice—conducted by respected career professionals—supports this conclusion. In fact, the Department of Justice has firmly concluded that the charges against General Flynn should be dropped. This Full Pardon achieves that...

(h/t foldspace)Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...

European Union leaders have a wish list and a message to pass along to Joe Biden — and in an apparent dig at President Trump, hijacked his best-known slogan in doing so: “We want to Make Multilateralism Great Again.” The 27-member bloc’s executive European Commission on Wednesday unveiled proposals aimed at strengthening the transatlantic partnership under a projected Biden administration, underlining its priorities including combating climate change and a U.S. return to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Iran nuclear deal. The proposals touch on the strains recent years have seen in the relationship, although without mentioning Trump by...

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies request to stop certification of Pennsylvania vote, with no noted dissents.

A Minnesota family attempting to spread some Christmas cheer got an anonymous letter from a Grinch attempting to shame them into removing their Christmas lights display under the guise of social equity. The scolding letter is so over-the-top that it even drew the attention of one retired NFL player! Someone in St. Anthony, Minnesota took it upon themselves to become the no fun police. We all know the drill from the left wingers who demand submission and call everything bigoted. Even cheerful Christmas lights are classist and ‘insensitive’ in St. Anthony, Minnesota.

Dr. Anthony Fauci skipped President Donald Trump’s event celebrating the development of a coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday. A Trump administration official told Breitbart News on Monday that Fauci wanted to attend the event but would not do so due to a “scheduling conflict.”

The Constitutional Authority of State Legislatures To Choose ElectorsIn a number of jurisdictions, state executive branch officials or courts have altered state election laws in ways that may be affecting the outcome of the presidential election, or at the very least creating unacceptable uncertainty about the results of the election. In Wisconsin, for example, the Wisconsin Elections Commission authorized local election clerks to “cure” spoiled ballots by adding missing addresses of witnesses, in violation of state law,[2] and it directed county clerks to ignore state voter ID laws for anyone claiming they were “indefinitely confined” because of COVID fears. North...

With the Metropolitan Transportation Authority facing a budget crisis, New Yorkers may have to dig into their pockets to help out. Under a new proposed bill, New York City residents would be required to pay a $3 surcharge on packages they ordered online, with the exception for medicine and food. Assemblyman Robert Carroll, who proposed the bill, says the online shopping fee would raise more than $1 billion a year "to fund the operating costs of buses and subways in the city of New York."

Sen. Chris Coons hoped to become Secretary of State in the Biden administration. Instead, his old boss has given him a far less appealing job — “ambassador” to Senate Republicans .Coons viewed Flake as the functional equivalent of John McCain, with whom Biden used to work. Flake was happy to serve in that capacity and Coons was eager to cast him in the role — even though it meant that Coons’ old friend endured a degrading public trial on the worst kind of slanderous accusations. Flake is no longer in the Senate. However, McCain’s old amigo Lindsey Graham is. According...
