A Queens critical care nurse who has been on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic has become the first person in New York – and the first person in the US – to receive Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, was vaccinated with the first dose of the two-dose shot on-camera at around 9:20 a.m. at the Queens hospital as Gov. Andrew Cuomo looked on via livestream

f they were principled and actually cared about protecting women, then Democrats would be doing whatever they could to openly and honestly discuss the allegations surrounding Joe Biden’s conduct. That would be honorable, and, I think, widely applauded by most of America. But that’s not what they did. Instead, they’ve reneged on their principles and launched a full-throated defense of Joe Biden. Elizabeth Warren said she believes him and, in doing so, showed that she has completely forgotten what she said during the Kavanaugh confirmation. Biden, being senile, hasn’t said much other than that he denies it. Kamala Harris is...

Electing Warnock is a key step toward reaching Schumer’s goal of totally changing AmericaSen. Kelly Loeffler has asserted that Raphael Warnock is “the most radically liberal candidate we have seen in this country for Senate.” Is that just a political charge in a heated campaign, or is Warnock more radical than liberal? Here is his record. You decide. Betsy McCaughey, for the New York Post reported on Dec. 8: “At the debate, Warnock didn’t deny he wants to eliminate cash bail and empty the prisons. He promoted the false narrative that police disproportionately kill Blacks more than Whites suspected of...

Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister for China, celebrated the presumed return of former vice president Joe Biden to the White House by saying it marked a “return to the right track.” Speaking to the board of the US-China Business Council (USCBC), the representative of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revealed his goal of improving relations with the United States. That goal would require the removal of barriers put in place to smooth dialogue. The hard-line stance of the Trump administration, for instance. ... “Based on the direction of mutual benefits for our two peoples and countries,” he continued, “we need...

Early Sunday afternoon news emerged that the Cleveland Indians were preparing to change the team’s name in an effort to appease parties that are offended by it. Later that same day, President Donald Trump weighed in on the matter.

Archaeologists researching on an underwater diving project, stumbled over an ancient underwater temple claimed as Heracleion’s ‘Egyptian Atlantis’ and probably have found a destroyed ancient Greek temple and treasure-laden vessels which might have sunken into the sea due to floods and tsunami 1,200 years back.

It is hard to believe the justices put the constitutional question above their desire to avoid appearing to meddle in the 2020 election.Late Friday, the Supreme Court rejected Texas’s election-related lawsuit against fellow states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia. The Supreme Court was right—and wrong. A week ago today, Texas filed a Motion for Leave to file a Bill of Complaint in the U.S. Supreme Court against the four states, charging constitutional violations related to the 2020 election. Texas also sought preliminary injunctive relief to prevent the putative defendant states from taking further actions related to the election. Two days...

The man handed his keys to the woman, she placed her children in the vehicle and headed northbound on Cincinnati Street towards Interstate 10,...

Media-anointed President-Elect Joe Biden acknowledged that "Trump beat the living hell out of us across the country" and thanked "the courageous few in the swing states who went the extra mile to overcome the massive lead he held before our special ops team found the votes needed to change the outcome." "While I can't name all of these heroes, I want to thank the governors and judges whose late changes in the rules for mail-in ballots allowed us to bypass the ID requirements that would have deterred the acceptance of ballots cast by unidentified persons and in the names of...

An Australian woman plunged about 260 feet to her death in front of her horrified husband and two sons after climbing over a safety barrier at a “perfect selfie” spot at a nature reserve, according to reports. Rosy Loomba, 38, of Craigieburn, was hiking with her family at the picturesque Grampians National Park in Victoria on Saturday afternoon when she decided to pose for a photo at the Boroka lookout near the village of Halls Gap, news.com.au reported. Police have issued many warnings about the dangers of the idyllic spot — famed on Instagram as the “perfect selfie” spot —...

The new Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna seem to be remarkably good at preventing serious illness. But it’s unclear how well they will curb the spread of the coronavirus. That’s because the Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with Covid-19. That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms, and could then silently transmit the virus — especially if they come in close contact with others or stop wearing masks. If vaccinated people are silent spreaders of the virus, they may keep it circulating in their communities, putting...

Here is the actual report: To whit: The Antrim County Clerk and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson have stated that the election night error (detailed above by the vote "flip" from Trump to Biden, was the result of human error caused by the failure to update the Mancelona Township tabulator prior to election night for a down ballot race. We disagree and conclude that the vote flip occurred because of machine error built into the voting software designed to create error.

on today's Morning Joe, the shameless Scarborough peddled a debunked story, saying: "I heard you had Mein Kampf by your bedside."Scarborough uttered his allegation in the context of gleefully dancing on what he presumes to be President Trump's political grave, with the Electoral College set to cast votes today. Scarborough suggested that instead of Mein Kampf, President Trump should have been reading the Constitution. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Attorney Sidney Powell on Sunday alerted the U.S. Supreme Court to new evidence filed in her legal team’s Michigan lawsuit related to the state’s Dominion Voting Systems voting equipment, as she called on the court to intervene in her cases challenging the integrity and outcome of the 2020 elections in four states. Powell in a letter notified the court of two batches of recently obtained evidence, the first of which she said came from an initial forensic analysis of Dominion voting machines in Michigan’s Antrim County that was prepared under a protective order issued on Dec. 4 by Judge Kevin...

After the US Supreme Court refused to hear the Texas case citing a “lack of standing,” a few more Republicans are calling for Trump to concede. Some are even people we know and love. Apart from corrupt Republicans who are part of a larger “deep-state” than we ever could have imagined, there is another group who rely heavily on their vast and past experience in politics. They think of this election as just another pendulum swing and we’ll “get ’em next time.” They focus on sportsmanship, statesmanship and appearances. Perhaps noble in other circumstances, it makes no sense on a...

For many women on birth control, it’s pretty obvious that it has effects beyond simply preventing pregnancy. After all, birth control side effects are common, and some are more obvious than others. On the less obvious front is the possible effect of birth control on mutual attraction. That’s right: hormonal birth control can actually change who you’re attracted to—and who’s attracted to you. Now, before we unpack that mind-blowing assertion, I’m going to tell you a joke. What did the boy monkey say to his three favorite girl monkeys? Nothing; because his three favorite girl monkeys were injected with Depo-Provera....

The newest thrust in the campus tactical assault against Israel. Nazifying ideological opponents is a tactic that campus anti-Israel groups and individuals have long used as part of the ongoing cognitive war against Israel, in which Zionism is racism, Israelis are the new Nazis, Gaza is equivalent to the Warsaw Ghetto, Israel is committing genocide against the guiltless Palestinians (a “Holocaust in the Holy Land,” as one student event called it), and the Star of David of the Israeli flag is regularly manipulated to incorporate a swastika. This intellectually destructive behavior is nothing new for these anti-Israel activists; what is...

Progressives’ hatred of guns even extends to toys. The great thing about progressives is that they’ll let you do whatever you want to do, as long as it’s exactly what they want you to do. That goes for all kids of all ages. Imaginary conversation: Dept. Store Santa: “What do you want for Christmas, little deplorable?” Child: “I want a Nerf gun, Santa.” Dept. Store Santa: “Listen you bitter-clinger brat, spawn of white privilege. I won’t enable your aggressive, racist, neo-colonialist tendencies, so you can grow up to be a MAGA- hat wearing, NRA-member, schoolyard shooter.” Now, what actually happened....

If you received Unemployment Insurance benefits, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (LWD) will provide you with Income Tax Form 1099-G (Certain Government Payments). However, the form will no longer be automatically mailed.[Emphasis added][This may be relevant to you if you received any payment from any State. I don't know. But I just received a Deficiency Notice from the IRS.]
