Thus far in Florida, approximately 20,000 people have died of COVID-19. In Texas, the number stands around 24,000, and in New York, about 35,000.New York is the smallest of the three, with 19.54 million residents. Then comes Florida, with 21.67 million, before Texas, with 28.7 million residents.COVID numbers are difficult to trust. Cases are often counted more than once as patients go in and out of the hospital, and some deaths are attributed to COVID that are barely related, if at all.There’s a perverse incentive to write down “COVID” and get state and federal money, no doubt, but one thing...

Kerik @BernardKerik Mitch McConnell ⁦@senatemajldr ⁩ Received Donations from Voting Machine Lobbyists Before Blocking Election Security Bills "It's not surprising to me that Mitch McConnell is receiving these campaign contributions, he seems single-handedly to be standing in the way of anything passing in Congress around election security." newsweek.com 5:13 AM · Dec 16, 2020

While there may now be a needle to treat the coronavirus, there’s no vaccine that can cure the dangers of a hot mic — or mask the embarrassment. This was an accidental blunder that’s going viral faster than the virus itself. https://youtu.be/ckVCtaiZlME

Editor's Note: This column was authored by Walter Williams' daughter, Devon Williams. In the late 1980s, when telemarketing was at it is peak, a company called our home during dinner. I picked up the phone and handed it to my dad. This is what we heard him say: "I'm not interested." "No. No, thank you." "Well ... I'm not ever going to die." And then he hung up. My mom and I looked at each other, and then him, with looks of incredulity. He explained that it was a company selling life insurance. For a long time, I believed just...

The Michigan Legislature's House and Senate oversight committees on Tuesday voted to subpoena election materials from Detroit and its suburb, Livonia. The cities have been instructed to turn over all hard drives, communications with poll workers, absentee counting boards and any other election-related materials. The joint committee is also interested in reviewing documentation about voting machines, including when they were purchased, what previous elections the machines were used in, and the accuracy tests that were conducted on the machines. Detroit and Livonia were asked to turn over policies relating to the Wuhan coronavirus, including instructions given to poll workers and...

The phone buzzed as the tracker came online, and a little circular blip appeared on the map. Helen Pheasey watched the dot intently as it moved inland from a beach on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. "It just kept moving," she says. "Every hour I'm checking, and it's gone further and further." Pheasey, then a PhD student at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology in the UK, was tracking a stolen item -- but not the usual type. The dot was tracking the journey of a fake turtle egg, which Pheasey had planted deep within a real turtle nest the...

Democrats and abortion activists are renewing the call to end the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortion. Instead, they want tax dollars to go towards a woman’s “deeply personal life decisions.” But when American taxpayers are forced to pay for that decision, abortion – the ending of a human life – surfaces as a public matter in a very obvious way. On December 8, the House Appropriations Committee held a nearly three-hour hearing on “The Impact on Women Seeking an Abortion but are Denied Because of an Inability to Pay.” House Democrats and abortion activists centered their remarks...

No one is ‘president-elect’ until a joint session of Congress meets to certify the Electoral College vote giving elected representatives of the people one last chance to interject. On January 6th, 2021 a joint session of Congress will meet on Capitol Hill to certify the votes of the Electors to the Electoral College from each state in the Union. But there is a provision that the Framers put in place to help safeguard from nefarious powers that would seek to steal elections at the ballot box. The state Electors having already cast their votes on December 14, 2020, in their...

But what's at stake isn't divisive, what's at stake is relief for our communities," she said.Abrams said that 1.2 million Georgians have requested absentee ballots. Of that 1.2 million, she said 85,000 of...

A San Francisco district is planning to rename a school named after Abraham Lincoln because the former president did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him'. The president, who is often held up as an American hero for abolishing slavery, is just one of 44 historical figures soon to have their names scratched off schools within the San Francisco Unified School District. Other names include George Washington, Herbert Hoover and Senator Dianne Feinstein, whose name will be stripped from the Dianne Feinstein Elementary School for allowing the Confederate flag to fly outside City Hall back in 1984 when she...

After a brief stint of allowing indoor dining with reduced capacity, New York City has once again limited restaurants to outside service, takeout, and delivery in response to rising COVID-19 rates. While eating alfresco was lovely during the summer, now that it’s cold out, it’s a bit of a different story — one that involves more preparation and much warmer clothes. You could go the extreme route and put on a wearable sleeping bag, like Strategist writer Kayla Levy, or for something a little less noticeable, take a hint from winter athletes, who rely on base layers to stay warm...

https://www.scoopwhoop.com/culture/water-cannons-vs-langar-10-images-of-hope-from-the-ongoing-farmers-protest/ The ongoing farmers protests against the farm laws is one of the biggest protests we've seen in recent times.

This past Sunday morning, Beth Moore tweeted, “I do not believe these are days for mincing words. I’m 63 1/2 years old & I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishingly seductive & dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism. This Christian nationalism is not of God. Move back from it.” Was she right in raising these concerns? Before we can respond, let’s put aside the question of whether you are a Beth Moore fan or not. To some, she is a beloved and faithful teacher of the Word. To others, she...

“We are the gold standard. They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing. I’m on the phone with every f—ing studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf—ers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”

Matt's a regular at his neighborhood Chick-fil-A. "I can tell by his voice when he pulls up,” one employee said. "I’m a creature of habit,” said Stoudt. Well, that's the understatement of the year. Matt has eaten at Chick-fil-A every day since July 13, not counting Sundays and Thanksgiving. “'Cause they were closed,” said Stoudt. He found out a guy in California ate Chick-fil-A 114 days in a row, earning the "unofficial" record. "I called my wife and said 'hey, I wanna do it.' She laughed at me and thought I was ridiculous,” said Stoudt. Oh, it was ridiculous. “Today...
