Two-term New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio may run for governor in 2022, as he is “absolutely” considering ways to further the lifespan of his political career. On an appearance on far-left Morning Joe on MSNBC, de Blasio touted reports that he will run for governor of New York. When the host directly asked him if the reports are true, he shifted the question to say he was working with Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), “bringing this city back” after the Chinese coronavirus and Hurricane Ida hit it:

Zoom, the software many had never heard of prior to COVID-19 and the lockdowns that followed, surged nearly 400 percent last year. But as many industries return to being in person — and competition flourishes due to other businesses offering services accompanied by other features — it took a more than 15 percent tumble on Tuesday. This is a good thing. Amid societal decay and economic turmoil, Chinese-American billionaire Eric Yuan’s company made a killing. Although shares fell, the stock recorded an astounding $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time in its history, beating analyst estimates. But as...

SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA, Okla. (KFOR) – A rural Oklahoma doctor said patients who are taking the horse de-wormer medication, ivermectin, to fight COVID-19 are causing emergency room and ambulance back ups.“There’s a reason you have to have a doctor to get a prescription for this stuff, because it can be dangerous,” said Dr. Jason McElyea.Dr. McElyea said patients are packing his eastern and southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, because they believed false claims the horse de-wormer could fight COVID-19.“The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities...

As noted in yesterday’s post, in late July, Ascension Healthcare, one of the largest private healthcare systems in the United States, has mandated a COVID-19 vaccination for its employees, physicians, volunteers, and vendors. Many of Ascension’s employees and associates, as well as other concerned citizens, are opposed to Ascension’s COVID vaccine mandate. One of those employees is “Jane Addams,” who is the head of Ascension Healthcare Workers Fighting for Medical Freedom. Out of concern of possible retribution from Ascension Healthcare / Sacred Heart Hospital, she is choosing to use a pseudonym. Her concerns appear to be justified, as I know...

DALLAS, TX—As new restrictions on abortion go into effect in Texas, more and more concerned residents are speaking out about their loss of abortion access. We caught up with Dallas resident Debbie Woods to discuss the impact of the new law on her life. “I probably get four or five abortions a year, so this will definitely impact me directly,” Woods said. "I just can't have a kid right now. I’m sleeping over at a different guy’s house like five nights a week. Nobody’s going to want to hook up with me if I’ve got a baby in tow!” Woods...

During earlier surges, most COVID-19 patients at Penn State Health were at least 65 and had other illnesses that made them vulnerable. But that was before arrival of the more contagious delta variant, and before many people, including most seniors and other highly vulnerable people, were protected by COVID-19 vaccine. “Most everyone we see in the ICU at this point is unvaccinated,” Dr. Fahad Khalid, the chief of hospital medicine at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, said on Friday. About 43 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 at the medical center as of Friday morning, Khalid said. Their...

DERBY, KY—Democratic leaders are moving swiftly to counter rapidly growing misinformation that has led countless right-wing nut jobs into ingesting something that has been prescribed for horses for millennia: water. To counter the rampant misinformation propagated by pro-water extremists, Democrats now refuse to drink water and urge other progressively minded Americans to follow suit. “Not only is water prescribed for horses, they actually need water to survive.” Said local Democrat Thurl Turdleburd, standing guard outside of the town’s livestock shop. “With idiots emptying the farm supply store shelves of this precious product, millions of horse lives are now at risk.”...

Memorial of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Luke 5:33-39 Friends, in today’s Gospel, people ask Jesus why he doesn’t encourage fasting among his followers. Jesus’ answer is wonderful: “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” (That’s a typically Jewish style, by the way, answering a question with another question.) This great image of the wedding feast comes up frequently in the New Testament, most obviously in the wedding feast at Cana narrative. And it is echoed in the tradition. Jesus is the wedding of heaven and earth, the marriage...

A video has been circulating online since August 30 showing rows of tanks, which the caption claims are American army vehicles that have fallen into the hands of the Taliban. However, they’re actually old Russian tanks that have been abandoned since the end of the Soviet Union’s military intervention in the country (1979-1989), near the airport in Kandahar in the south of the country. Satellite images prove that these vehicles haven’t been moved in years and are very likely unusable. After the final evacuation of American soldiers from Kabul airport on August 30, there has been a lot of speculation...

A Volusia County restaurant owner angry about the deaths of 13 U.S. service members killed in last week’s suicide bombing at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, blames President Biden and says she no longer welcomes his supporters at her business. Angie Ugarte, owner of the DeBary Diner, posted a sign on the front door reading: “If you voted for and continue to support and stand behind the worthless, inept and corrupt administration currently inhabiting the White House that is complicit in the death of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, please take your business elsewhere.”

Recent news reports out of Australia indicate that the country has gone largely insane – with its government becoming a draconian surveillance state of the likes that has never before been seen.A report out of Australia’s 9 news from a few days ago appears to be out of a dystopian fiction novel, with the news anchor and other guests using the media to publicly attack Australian citizens who are not complying with every government rule or mandate.“It’s those doing the wrong thing driving our record case numbers,” began an anchor from Australia’s 9 News. “Among the most concerning cases, a...

ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows ignored an abysmal jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to further insulate President Joe Biden from bad news. The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. Friday that the U.S. economy only added an embarrassingly low 235,000 jobs in August, against an economists’ forecast of 720,000 jobs. That means projections were off by a whopping 485,000 jobs. The Wall Street Journal said that many employers are reporting “difficulty filling job openings, which touched record highs this summer.” ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA), CBS This Morning, NBC’s Today and NBC’s Third Hour of...
