Buttigieg, who mounted a failed bid for the Democratic presidential primary, is set to be nominated as transportation secretary by the man who did win the primary and the general election, President-elect Joe Biden, several news organizations reported Tuesday. Buttigieg, 38, attracted attention during his 2020 bid for president with his combination of progressivism and pragmatism – his health care plan was called "Medicare for All Who Want It," a move toward a single payer plan without forcing people to give up their private insurance. His hyper-intellectualism contrasted with his "Mayor Pete'' accessibility. He kept his sexual orientation private until...

The normal procedure for dealing with questioned elections in the Americas is for public protests after which the military may intervene and order a new election. The U.S. Constitution states "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Providing this guarantee is one of the President's most important duties. Vote-flipping machines and allowing the dead to vote which were reported in some states are not consistent with "a Republican Form of Government, " If the election involves a political issue rather than a judicial one as SCOTUS implied then President Donald Trump...

I got a campaign email already fishing for 2024 donations. Is that what we’re doing now? I was full MAGA in 2015/16, and my child was born right after the election. I have wavered on my Trump support in the past and felt foolish for doing so. I was not religious when Trump won 4 years ago. Since Trump has ascended to office I have had a child with a chronic disability, and it led me to discovering Christ, which led me to question my support of Trump, for various reasons. But I eventually found a sensible pastor and he...

HA NOI — The Japan Centre for Economic Research (JCER) has predicted that Viet Nam will become an upper-middle-income country in 2023, and its GDP will surpass that of China’s Taiwan in 2035. The JCER recently released a medium-term forecast of Asian economies entitled “Asia in the coronavirus disaster: Which countries are emerging?”, which addresses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and looks at how Asian economies are faring compared with others around the world. In the standard scenario, JCER assumes that the pandemic is a transient event that will not affect economic structures over the medium term. Under this...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday announced an expansion of the House floor mask requirement which will now preclude lawmakers from removing them while speaking before the cameras during the pandemic. During a brief House pro forma session, Pelosi said while presiding over the chamber that lawmakers will be denied speaking time if they are not wearing a mask going forward. "Masks will now be required at all times in the hall of the House without exception," Pelosi said. "To be clear, members will not be recognized unless they are wearing a mask and recognition will be withdrawn if they...

Despite Dr. Fauci’s cries about how all vulnerable Americans should make sure to get their flu shots to protect against a deadly vortex of a COVID-19-supercharged flu season “twindemic”, it appears influenza-related infections, hospitalizations and confirmed cases over the past couple of months have been much, much lower than the ‘experts’ had anticipated.And on Tuesday, one day after publishing an editorial written by bossman Michael Bloomberg where the billionaire urged Joe Biden to “lead” on the fight against climate change (he even suggested Biden mandate sleepy ESG-focused financial disclosures), the financial news behemoth has decided to boldly question the accepted...

Epshteyn said the Wisconsin Supreme Court left open a "window" that the Trump campaign will "drive a truck through." Trump 2020 Strategic Advisor Boris Epshteyn joined Steve Bannon’s War Room Pandemic this evening. During the broadcast, Epshteyn said President Trump’s legal team is working to put together an investigation that will identify voters in Wisconsin who falsely claimed the status of “indefinitely confined.” Under Wisconsin law, a voter may claim the status of “indefinitely confined” and thereby vote by mail and bypass Wisconsin’s strict voter identification laws. More than 220,000 people in Wisconsin claimed the status of “indefinitely confined,” a...

France’s public service ministry has fined the Paris city authorities for employing too many women in senior positions in 2018. The appointments breach a law passed to maintain a gender balance. The city hall has been fined €90,000 ($109,408) for appointing 11 women and 5 men — representing just over 30% — to top posts in 2018. […] According to the 2013 rule, one sex cannot account for more than 60% of nominations to senior positions. It was aimed at getting women better access to top jobs in the civil service. Currently, about 47% of all civil servants in senior...

“The Electoral College has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden. The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He’s devoted himself to public service for many years.” McConnell added that “many of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result, but our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20.”

Not even Honest Abe is good enough for these people. A high school in San Francisco named after Abraham Lincoln, our nation’s sixteenth president, will soon be no longer because he apparently failed to demonstrate that “black lives mattered to him.” The San Francisco Unified School District evidently does not think that the freeing of the slaves after the Civil War and the ratification of the 13rd through 15th amendments to the US Constitution represents a sufficient legacy for them. The district isn’t even stopping there. The scrapping of Lincoln’s name will be just one of 44 changes they’re making....

A group of Republicans in Pennsylvania on Tuesday has again urged the U.S. Supreme Court to take up their lawsuit that challenges the 2020 election results in the state.The nation’s top court had previously rejected the group’s request for immediate injunctive relief to block Pennsylvania from taking further steps to certify the 2020 election results. At the time, the group’s lawyer, Greg Teufel, said the case was not over because his clients were planning to file a formal petition to ask the court to review the lawsuit, which they hadn’t filed the first time.The lawyer filed a petition for a...
