Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday tried to dig himself out of the biggest hole of his career by blaming politics for the controversy engulfing his administration following The Post’s revelation that his top aide admitted withholding data about nursing home deaths amid a federal probe. During a virtual news conference at which he declined to take a question from The Post, Cuomo claimed that “there’s nothing to investigate” regarding the cover-up to which Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa confessed during a video conference call with Democratic lawmakers last week. Cuomo never directly addressed DeRosa’s recorded remarks in which she...

As the Biden Administration and the CDC continue to flip-flop and move the goal posts regarding the use of COVID masks, first claiming they only needed to be worn for the first 100 days of the Biden presidency, and now claiming they need to be worn for the next year, Tennessee legislators are advancing a bill that would criminalize discrimination against non-mask wearers. Tennessee lawmakers have crafted and introduced the Medical Non-Discrimination Business and Consumer Act. This bill is designed to prevent the private sector from discriminating against those who do not wear COVID masks in public places. The legislation...

Fauci wins $1 million Israeli prize for 'defending science' Dr. Anthony Fauci has won a $1 million award from a private Israeli foundation for “courageously defending science” during the coronavirus pandemic By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press February 15, 2021, 11:27 AM In its statement, the private foundation did not mention former President Donald Trump, who undermined Fauci's follow-the-science approach to the pandemic. But it credited Fauci with "courageously defending science in the face of uninformed opposition during the challenging COVID crisis.”

On his first day in office, President Biden canceled permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. Environmentalists and anti-fossil fuel activists should not have applauded his move. After all, Canada will not stop extracting oil from the tar sands of northern Alberta. Instead, it will simply export oil over existing pipelines or to the Pacific Ocean, where the damage from a potential spill would be harder to address. Biden’s cancellation cost jobs and pushes Canada toward greater economic cooperation with China. It also shakes confidence in U.S. business. Who would invest in the country if any future administration can simply renege...

PAGE 175: One of the curses of American society is the simple act of shaking hands, and the more successful and famous one becomes, the worse this terrible custom seems to get. I happen to be a clean-hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as often as possible. Recent medical reports have come out saying that colds and various other ailments are spread through the act of shaking hands. I have no doubt about this.PAGE 186: It seems every so often there's some unfounded rumor that I'm considering seeking office—sometimes even the...

The Coalition for Jewish Values declared Monday that the promotion of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to a senior committee position shows that Congress accepts antisemitism. Omar was promoted to the position of Vice Chair on the Africa, Global Health, and Global Human Rights subcommittee within the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The CJV said in a statement: Omar, despite a history of support for organizations with ties to Islamic terror and condemnations of Israel sufficient to be voted “2019’s Anti-Semite of the Year” by StopAntiSemitism.org, was named Vice Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health,...

The recent admission by Melissa DeRosa, secretary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), that the management of the COVID pandemic was bungled and then covered up, has brought demands that Cuomo be impeached and prosecuted. The admission was contained in a phone conversation with the state’s leading Democrats in which DeRosa apologized for causing political difficulties for the Party. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said “a tragic error in judgment followed by intentional deception cannot be swept into the ‘memory hole.’ Nine thousand people needlessly died because of this error. Honesty in the early stages of the pandemic could have led to...

On Monday Republican Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), Devin Nunes (R-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL) and James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi on her failure to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The four ranking members asked Speaker Pelosi to explain her decision to: ** Deny national guard support on January 4th ** What conversations did she or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specifit to January 6th? ** What response did you give security officials on January 6th when National Guard support was initially requested? ** Why are House Officers refusing to turn over...

T A guy was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome. They were even after the first two holes. The second guy said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?" The first guy said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the terms. The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with ease. As they were walking off number eighteen, the second guy was busy counting...

This impeachment will go on The Donald's permanent record. Nancy Pelosi notified his draft board. And Democrats will rename Donald J. Trump State Park. Small wonder the Orange Man laughs in their faces. Democrats have diminished themselves. The impeachment turned a hollow victory in November into a humiliation. Because once in power, what did they do? Did they order the nation's economy to re-open? Did they pass a corona virus relief package? Did they work with Republicans on a new immigration law or anything else? No, no, no. Democrats did not do anything like that. The first thing Democrats did...

Liberal billionaire Bill Gates made a shocking confession that made his climate change activism reek of hypocrisy. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper surprisingly decided to corner Gates on the extreme amount of “greenhouse gas” emissions that the tech billionaire emits through his private jet usage during a Feb. 14 60 Minutes interview on CBS. The astonishing part came as Gates admitted to Cooper that he had one of the “highest greenhouse gas footprints of anyone on the planet.” Cooper, however, spent most of the interview pushing Gates’s agenda to convince viewers of the need to completely transform the global economy into...

Millions are without power in Texas after a historic winter storm blasted the state over the weekend, creating freezing conditions that have made the roads dangerous and knocking out nearly half of Texas' installed wind power generation. Texas grid operators who spoke to the Austin American-Statesman said freezing rain and historically low temperatures caused wind turbines in West Texas to freeze to a halt, knocking out some 12,000 megawatts of energy production. Wind farms in Texas typically generate up to 25,100 megawatts of energy, almost half of which is currently out of production as the state works to thaw out...

I think we’re at a crucial point in this debate on school reopening right now. Case rates are dropping quickly, the surge is over, and people are starting to get vaccinated — though way too slowly of course. The public health community, including the CDC, have reached consensus that reopening schools is an urgent priority (instead of citing all my sources, I’m going to do more of a free-write here, so feel free to reach out if you want me to cite a source for anything I write here). This is because the harms of prolonged school closure vastly outnumber...

A caravan of parents and their children descended on downtown Los Angeles Monday morning for a demonstration demanding the immediate reopening of schools. “I want my kid to get an education,” parent Susanne Jacobson told KTLA. “He’s in eighth grade. He’s not ready for high school next year. He hasn’t had an education in a year. Distance learning is not working.” Some protesters emphasized the toll on children’s mental health. “It’s actually not OK, kids could get mental breakdowns, I hear some kids get depression from it,” said Brody Moos, a fourth-grader. Remy Moos, who’s in third-grade, complained of the...

The Department of Homeland Security will begin phase one of the Biden administration's new approach to immigration and asylum seekers on Friday by releasing thousands of migrants in three American cities over a two-week period. The new plan, in stark contrast to the Trump administration's "Remain In Mexico" policy, will have DHS start releasing illegal aliens in San Diego, California; El Paso, Texas; and Brownsville, Texas, according to Breitbart and the Associated Press. Around 25,000 migrants will be let into the country through the first phase. DHS plans to process and release about 300 migrants a day in both San...

The FDA on Monday joined The WHO and Dr. Fauci in admitting there is a notable risk of false results from the standard PCR-Test used to define whether an individual is a COVID “Case” or not.This matters significantly as it fits perfectly with the ‘fake rescue’ plan we have previously described would occur once the Biden admin took office.We have detailed the controversy surrounding America’s COVID “casedemic” and the misleading results of the PCR test and its amplification procedure in great detail over the past few months.As a reminder, “cycle thresholds” (Ct) are the level at which widely used polymerase...

Well, Claudia Conway's American Idol audition finally aired. The daughter of former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and lawyer George Conway faced the judges during the season premiere of the singing competition's 19th season. The whole thing was...interesting. Here's what happened: As soon as Claudia walked onstage, judge Katy Perry immediately asked her, "Are you OK?" "No, but yes," Claudia replied. There was a brief montage featuring Conway's parents — yes, both of them. Kellyanne appeared via video call, whereas George was shown fist-bumping Claudia and waiting outside the studio during the audition. Again, just weird stuff to watch. As for...

Just two months after announcing his presidential run — amid multiple claims that he had touched women in a way that made them uncomfortable — Joe Biden finally unveiled a policy plan. He also took the opportunity to make an inappropriate remark toward a child. Even if the left claims that he has changed, Biden hasn’t changed. After several women said earlier this year that Biden had touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable, the former vice president and 2020 Democratic candidate promised to be “much more mindful” of people’s personal space. But recent incidents tell a different story....
