Governor Andrew Cuomo told New Yorkers to brace for the possibility of an imminent shutdown, and Mayor Bill de Blasio urged city residents to work from home if possible, as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continued to climb across the state. On Monday afternoon, hours after a Queens health care worker received the first COVID-19 vaccine in the country, Cuomo offered his most dire warning in months about a virus that once again threatens to push hospitals to the brink. "The increase in hospitalizations could overwhelm some regions if nothing changes by January," he said. "If we do not change the...

The Warren Court holds a special place of derision within the conservative imagination. The term refers to the 1953-1969 timeframe when Chief Justice Earl Warren held sway over the U.S. Supreme Court. The right has understood this court as inaugurating and modeling the modern iteration of “judicial activism.”Conservative critics of the Warren Court period hold that, through a series of heavy-handed interventions, it undermined essential elements of American government, including the rule of law, popular sovereignty, and federalism. The right’s evolution toward working-class populism should only increase antipathy toward the Warren Court and its rule by elitist judicial fiat.This makes...

Former President Barack Obama poked fun at President Donald Trump’s baseless and racist birther attacks on him in a preview of an interview that will air in full on Tuesday’s episode of “The Daily Show.” In the teaser clip released online Monday, host Trevor Noah asked Obama if he’d “be more careful going forward about who you roast. You roasted Donald Trump, he ran for president.” “I should roast people I admire more. I’ll start roasting you man. Who knows?” Obama responded to the South Africa-born comedian. Then came the trolling of Trump: “Although you weren’t born here, so. But,...

Now that the first round of the Pfizer vaccine has made its way to all 50 states and the first few Americans have received the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine, the question becomes how many people are willing to take the vaccine? And how many Americans want to see states pass a mandate requiring their residents to take the vaccine? Back in August, a poll conducted by Yahoo News and NewGov found that 42 percent of Americans say they would get the vaccination. That number was a record low for willingness to get a vaccine, and it could be a problem for...

WASHINGTON - A crush of sign-ups expected Tuesday on the last day of open enrollment for HealthCare.gov could help solidify the standing of “Obamacare” as an improbable survivor in the Donald Trump years. In 36 states that use HealthCare.gov,- Dec. 15 is deadline day for coverage that starts Jan. 1, while another 14 states and Washington, D.C., have later dates. Analysts and advocates who follow the annual insurance sign-ups say interest has gotten stronger with the coronavirus pandemic gripping the nation. Also, the legal cloud hanging over the Affordable Care Act seemed to start lifting last month when Supreme Court...

Computer expert Andrew Morris says he downloaded the infected installer from SolarWinds Orion and found the “backdoor” is still contained on the installer on SolarWinds’ website. Morris is the founder of GreyNoise, a cyber security firm that specializes in finding comprised devices and detecting internet threats. SolarWinds Orion is part of the SolarWinds suite of network and computer management tools used by the US government. Reports indicate that someone, possible Russia, managed to modify SolarWinds Orion in the spring of this year. The modification created a “backdoor” which allowed the hacker to spy on numerous government agencies, including the Treasury,...

Do ya'll remember the Country Club Republicans? They held sway over the GOP for many years. East Coasters like Nelson Rockefeller and the Bushes. None of them liked Ronald Reagan, but we did. They did everything they could to side-line our dear Ronnie.True patriotic Republicans have had to put up with being dismissed by the Country-Clubbers, we were not hoity-toity enough for them. Or pro-choice enough for them.Then comes the TEA Party which embarrassed the crap out of them. The George Will's of the world denigrated us. The Karl Rove's of the world worked to displace us. But then Donald...

​President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris should get the new COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday. “For security reasons I really feel strongly that we should get them vaccinated as soon as we possibly can. We want him fully protected as he enters into the presidency in January. So, that would be my strong recommendation,” Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Today’s Scripture: Romans 4:8 “Blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” We’re free from both the guilt and the reigning power or dominion of sin in our lives. But of what use is this information to us? How can it help when we’re struggling with persistent sin patterns and see ourselves giving in to sinful desires? Here’s where Paul’s instructions in Romans 6:11 can help us: "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus" (NIV). Paul isn’t telling us to do something but to believe something....

In yet another blow to common sense on college campuses, Tennessee State University has hired Al Sharpton as a visiting professor teaching “political science grounded in social justice.” Tennessee State is a public university and thus it is taxpayer funded. In fact, billions of American taxpayer dollars help to fund higher education each year. Last year, President Trump notably threatened to suspend federal funding if colleges and universities fail to protect free speech on campus.

Americans know that they should resist delusional, prohibitionist tyrants. The American Revolution started when the British tried to seize Continental muskets and gunpowder. Jefferson reminded us that the “tree of liberty” occasionally has to be “watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Patrick Henry demanded liberty or death. Samuel Adams refused to consent to the “tranquility of servitude” over the “animating contest of freedom.” Real Americans remember those patriots and are determined to uphold their legacies. We won’t surrender our weapons to confiscatory, leftist tyrants. That’s why gun confiscation is impossible. People like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want...

As Washington state elector Jack Arends registered his vote for President-elect Joe Biden on Monday, his voice cracked with emotion. Then, Arends, 64, told the chamber that a doctor last month had diagnosed him with an untreatable, terminal condition. "[In] November I was told there is no more medical treatment that can help me so it was important for me to do this one thing that I could do while I still can," said Arends, who wore a black beret reading, "Play Nice." After his speech, Arends placed his microphone on the desk, crossed his arms over his face, and...

The request was not honored, and Carlos Morales-Ramirez was released onto the streets Dec. 4.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sparked anger and backlash on Twitter Monday after she ranted about what she described as President-elect Joe Biden’s “DIVISIVE” speech.Biden called out President Donald Trump’s futile efforts to overturn the 2020 election result in a fiery address after the Electoral College confirmed he would become the next president.“We all wish that our fellow Americans in these positions will always show such courage and commitment to free and fair elections, but it is my sincere hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kind of threats and abuse we saw from the selection,” said...

WASHINGTON, Friday, Dec. 14. The resignation of Secretary CASS created a great sensation in political circles here. Although it was rumored early this morning, it was not consummated till late this afternoon. Various causes have been assigned. One report attributes it to the President's course towards Peru, in refusing to. arbitrate our difficulties, and withdrawing Mr. CLAY. Another says it was because the President refused to send troops to strengthen the garrison at Fort Moultrie; and still another, to escape the odium attaching to the Administration, which he charges with complicity in the secession programme. All these reports are untrue,...

Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler was criticized Saturday and Sunday for posing beside a former KKK leader, with less than a month before two runoff elections in the state that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate. The picture shows Loeffler smiling beside ring-wing activist Chester Doles. It was reportedly posted to Doles' social media on Saturday with the caption "Kelly Loeffler and I. Save America, stop Socialism." Doles, who was a leader in the Ku Klux Klan, is a convicted felon with ties to several white supremacist groups, although he claims his current "American Patriots USA" group is free...
