Mike DeWine’s enhanced coronavirus vaccination incentive program through which state workers can get up to $1,000 for getting the shot. Spokespeople for Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman, House Speaker Bob Cupp, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Auditor Keith Faber, Treasurer Robert Sprague and Attorney General Dave Yost all said they are not planning to opt into the program, announced by DeWine last month.

Early this morning in 1915, the German military occupying Belgium shot aid worker Edith Cavell at Brussels for aiding the British war effort. The matronly nurse had been condemned only the day before by a German military court for helping Allied soldiers escape from behind German lines — charges Cavell readily admitted. The British chaplain who attended her the night before her death reported her saying (not actually her last words, but recalled as her parting sentiment, as it were): But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity, I realize that patriotism is...

ACT leader David Seymour says he has spoken personally to some of his supporters to tell them to get vaccinated and "don't be a ****head". "I've had a few people saying I know someone who is a big admirer of ACT and isn't getting vaccinated and I've personally spoke to some of them," Seymour said. "And said mate get vaxxed...

Conservative figures and politicians opposing vaccine and mask mandates have blamed more than 2,000 recent flight cancellations by Southwest Airlines on vaccine mandates, but both the airline and pilots union have said the massive number of flight disruptions had nothing to do with it. That didn't stop some politicians, like former president Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, and Rep. Andy Biggs from Arizona, from trying to link the cancellations to federal vaccine mandates even though they offered no evidence of it. "The weekend challenges were not a result of Southwest Employee demonstrations, as some are reporting," a spokesperson...

My last edition in this series was entitled “The First Thing We’ll Do Is Fire All the Heroes” Edition. It came out right before the state of New York fired its un-spiked health care workers. Over this past weekend, Southwest Airline pilots and Florida air traffic controllers called...

A shortage of just about everything is looming ahead of the holiday season as hundreds of ships wait outside ports and rail yards clog up due amid a lack of workers and truckers. President Biden assured Americans on Aug. 11 that "these bottlenecks and price spikes will reduce as our economy continues to heal," appointing a "port envoy" who would work with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Biden said at the time that his administration was "bringing together the port operators, shipping lines, the labor unions, trucking companies, railroads, and others to speed up the port's operations." But the Washington Post,...

Unlike other airlines which are federal contractors and subject to stricter rules when it comes to their employees’ decisions to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or not, Spirit Airlines will give employees an option to get regular COVID-19 tests—though employees will need to agree to one of the two policies.

The police chief in Miami has been ousted after only six months on the job amid intense clashes with City Hall and accusations of bizarre antics. Art Acevedo — once called “the Michael Jordan of police chiefs” by Miami’s mayor — was suspended Monday with “the intent to terminate his employment,” City Manager Art Noriega said in a statement. Acevedo had quickly fallen out of favor with Miami’s top officials since his April hiring, accusing them of corruption and sparking outrage by referring to police commissioners as “the Cuban Mafia,” according to The Miami Herald. “The relationship between the Chief...

The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals said 96% of 18,209 participating members working at Kaiser Permanente’s Southern California hospitals and clinics voted this month in favor of authorizing the strike, if necessary.

Wallace said, “If you’re not scared for our democracy and the damage being done to it around the clock, brick by brick, by elected Republican officials, then you’re not paying close enough attention to the knuckle-dragging of...

The CDC adopted a "double-standard exclusively for COVID-19 data collection" that inflated cases and deaths starting early in the pandemic, violating multiple federal laws and distorting mitigation policies, Oregon lawmakers told the feds' top lawyer in the state.Advised by "a large team of world-renowned doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, and attorneys," state Senators Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum petitioned U.S. Attorney Scott Asphaug to approve a grand jury investigation into how the pandemic is being measured."Public health policy must be based upon accurate and independently verifiable data to optimize outcomes and strengthen the public's trust in the people leading them through this...

Just four men started studying for the priesthood for Ireland’s 26 dioceses this autumn, with a further two Neocatechumenal Way students entering that movement’s seminary in Dundalk for the Archdiocese of Armagh. When ordained, Neocatechumenal students traditionally serve for a period in the diocese before being reassigned overseas. A further ten men began a pre-seminary year raising hopes that they will proceed to seminary next year.

A survey by The Irish Catholic newspaper revealed the...

During a segment on his “War Room Podcast,” Bannon warned that the “bleakest, darkest Christmas in living memory” is coming. “The revered Economist, what is their headline? The Shortage Economy.

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati announced on Friday a restructuring initiative that could eventually close 70% of archdiocesan parishes. The process will begin by clustering the 208 parishes of the archdiocese into 60 “families” of parishes, which will share pastors, staff, and infrastructure, but initially remain canonically independent. Well beyond Cincinnati, the initiative is worth watching, as its approach may well become a model for institutional downsizing in dioceses across the country, especially in the Northeast and the Rust Belt. The archdiocese calls its project, euphemistically, “Beacons of Light.” The idea is that clusters of parishes will be identified in November,...
