At least 60 Michigan schools have been forced to temporarily close as a result of copycat threats in the wake of the shooting in Oxford Township, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Thursday. Just days after a 15-year-old boy at Oxford High School was charged in the fatal shootings of four students and the injuries of eight others, Bouchard stated that at least 100 instances of direct threats or threatening social media posts have surfaced throughout the state. This includes a 12-year-old who threatened to "shoot up" his school....

Despite a federal judge declaring President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate unconstitutional, Penn State University will keep its Jan. 4 deadline requiring employees to get vaccinated, and some employees who choose not to get vaccinated will be given education and counseling.“Many of you know (the mandate) is being challenged in the courts so we don’t know the outcome of that process yet, but we are planning around it prevailing, and so implementing that mandate,” Penn State Provost Nicholas P. Jones said Tuesday in the University Faculty Senate meeting. “We’ve got to prepare because there’s not a lot of runway between now...

Asked if he felt by guilty by ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos, Baldwin replied: 'No. No. I feel that someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but I know it's not me.'

In 1918, a novel strand of influenza killed more people than the 14th century’s Black Plague. At least 50 million people died worldwide because of that H1N1 influenza outbreak. The dead were buried in mass graves. In Philadelphia, one of the hardest-hit cities in the country, priests collected bodies with horse-drawn carriages. In the middle of today’s novel coronavirus outbreak, some are turning to the conclusion of past pandemics to discern how and when life might “return to normal.” The Washington Post has received a few dozen questions from readers who want historical context for our current epidemic. But how...

The Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus is better at evading immunity from prior infection than the Delta and Beta variants, according to researchers in South Africa.Scientists in the country analyzed surveillance data and say the numbers indicate the risk of reinfection tripled between the beginning of October and the end of November.“We find evidence of a substantial and ongoing increase in the risk of reinfection that is temporally consistent with the timing of the emergence of the Omicron variant in South Africa, suggesting that its selection advantage is at least partially driven by an increased ability...

BY JEFF MCDONALD, KELLY DAVIS DEC. 2, 2021 9:19 PM PT A deadly new crush of COVID-19 cases is running through San Diego County jails, infecting inmates and staff alike and prompting a system-wide lockdown to try to control the spread of the virus. The Sheriff’s Department said a total of 125 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past week. Officials are awaiting results for another 188 people. Two inmates died this week in county jails and the outbreak is suspected, sources said. The Sheriff’s Department said their deaths are under investigation.

An elderly COVID-19 patient has recovered after a court order allowed him to be treated with ivermectin, despite objections from the hospital in which he was staying, according to the family’s attorney.After an Illinois hospital insisted on administering expensive remdesivir to the patient and the treatment failed, his life was saved after a court ordered that an outside medical doctor be allowed to use the inexpensive ivermectin to treat him, over the hospital’s strenuous objections.Ivermectin tablets have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat humans with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic...

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) suspended enforcement of its vaccine mandate for healthcare workers after two court orders earlier this week.A memo issued by the agency, posted by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Twitter Thursday, said that CMS “remains confident” it will prevail in court but is “suspending activities related to the implementation and enforcement of this rule pending future development in the litigation.”“While these preliminary injunctions are in effect,” it continues to say, “CMS surveyors must not survey providers for compliance with the requirements” with the rule. The memo is referring to federal government...

For a while now, I’ve been decrying the trend of Democrats pushing for supposed “experts” to run every facet of the federal government. That has led to mediocre academics and bureaucrats being given extreme levels of power. Yet, while there are many different people who fit that description, no better example exists than Dr. Anthony Fauci.I used to joke about the fame-obsessed doctor actually being the acting president. But because our politics only has one mode, which is to say always becoming crazier, Joe Biden is just outright admitting it now.Joe Biden "jokes" that Dr. Fauci is actually the President...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was sworn in on October 23, 1991. Beginning in 1996, he would take a 10-year break from asking questions from the bench, until the first case before the Court following the death of Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, his ideological soul mate.While still measured, Thomas has been known to take lawyers to the mat when he sees fit to do so. Wednesday morning’s oral arguments in the Mississippi abortion case — that threatens to weaken Roe v. Wade if not overturn it — provided Justice Thomas the perfect opportunity to do just that, with a round...

Members of Congress say they still can’t get clear answers about the U.S evacuation effort in Afghanistan, but they’re being asked to approve an additional $7 billion to manage the pipeline of people still coming and the tens of thousands of Afghans already here. House Democrats announced the $7 billion item early Thursday as part of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running past a Friday shutdown deadline, buying time for lawmakers to try to hash out a broader spending deal for fiscal year 2022. The evacuee money, agreed to by top Republicans and Democrats, comes on top...

Eighty House Republicans voted with Democrats on Tuesday to pass the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act, which if passed by the Senate and signed into law would fund a federal vaccination database. According to the bill, also called H. R. 550, the government would provide $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund “immunization system data modernization and expansion,” a system otherwise defined as “a confidential, population-based, computerized database that records immunization doses administered by any health care provider to persons within the geographic area covered by that database.” The text specifically outlines an expansion of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

DONALD TRUMP: I want to see good for the country, Brian, it’s so important to me. I want to see good for the country. There’s no gratification. What they’re doing is destroying our country. Our country is being destroyed before your very eyes. And I’ve never seen anything like it.

- Hamas Is a Murderous Political Organization - It only claims to represent Palestine, Jerusalem, Islam – In reality, it serves Iranian plots to occupy the Arab world - Hamas has been a terrorist movement for decades, and it has been directing its terrorism against the Palestinians and the Arab countries - Iran is killing people in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen - It has launched rockets from buildings full of civilians so that Israel would bomb these buildings, and then Hamas would be able to do PR - Hamas and other groups have been exploiting Al-Aqsa "throughout history"

CIA Files Say Staffers Committed Sex Crimes Involving Children. They Weren’t Prosecuted. Declassified CIA inspector general reports show a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold agency personnel accountable. Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children. Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally,...
