After repeated brawls between students at Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento, teacher Connie Steinman made a decision. She wants to transfer to teach independent study. The American sign language teacher said she no longer feels safe at the campus where she has taught for 21 years. Her decision comes after the latest violent incident on campus where a number of students began fighting on Nov. 18, prompting a lockdown that some teachers say was not properly communicated and placed students and staff at risk. Like other Hiram Johnson teachers, Steinman has seen constant fights on campus. With staff shortages...

Super duo combine It was the 89th and 90th TDs between star duo Brady and Gronkowski – moving them second on the all-time list, topped by Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison (112). "I hope we do. I look for him down there, he is a really big target most of the game," the 44-year-old Brady said when asked if he and Gronkowski would play long enough to eclipse Manning and Harrison.

Most adolescents and young adults with suspected myocarditis following a COVID-19 vaccination experience mild symptoms and rapid clinical recovery, though many had evidence of continued heart inflammation, according to a new study published today. Study authors said fast ventricular rhythms and the need for medications to increase blood pressure were uncommon; no patients died or needed mechanical support for circulation as a result of the condition. While cases of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccinations continue to be rare, more research is needed to understand whether there are long-term cardiac effects of COVID-19-vaccine-associated myocarditis. Most young people under the age of 21...

His cronies trap him behind a brick wall while he sleeps. He rants and raves, then knocks down the wall and is crushed.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday issued a "preemptive strike," mandating that all private sector employees in the Big Apple be vaccinated against COVID-19 amid the new threat posed by the omicron variant beginning Dec. 27. De Blasio, whose term is set to expire in a matter of weeks, broke the news during an interview on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" Monday morning. "We’ve got omicron as a new factor, we’ve got the colder weather, which is going to really create additional challenges with the delta variant, we’ve got holiday gatherings," de Blasio said.

A Maryland man is facing fraud charges for allegedly selling more than 600 fake COVID-19 vaccine cards that he advertised on Facebook for $75 each. Amar Shabazz, 23, purchased the fake vaccination cards through a foreign online marketplace in June and then started advertising them on his social media accounts, federal prosecutors said. “Covid19 vaccination card who want one. $75 a pop,” he wrote in one post, according to a criminal complaint. A month later, he posted “I sell proof of vaccination cards” underneath a link to a news article about restaurants requiring proof of vaccination

Buried deep within the massive infrastructure legislation recently signed by resident Joe Biden is a little-noticed “safety” measure that will take effect in five years. Marketed to Congress as a benign tool to help prevent drunk driving, the measure will mandate that automobile manufacturers build into every car what amounts to a “vehicle kill switch.” As has become standard for legislative mandates passed by Congress, this measure is disturbingly short on details. What we do know is that the “safety” device must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may...

The Washington Post notes that Haiti is reeling from a power vacuum following the assassination of its president earlier this year and the August earthquake that killed more than 2,200 people and left tens of thousands homeless. One result is that Haiti has the highest per-capita kidnapping rate on earth; recorded kidnappings so far this year have spiked six-fold over the same period last year. Doctors, preachers, entire busloads of people, and even police on patrol have been kidnapped by criminals.

In early October, Gov. Gavin Newsom triumphantly announced that California would become the first state in the nation to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for children attending school, once the Food and Drug Administration fully approves the shot for the 5-11 and 12-16 age groups. Two months later, no states have followed Newsom's lead — not even states that have been similarly aggressive in implementing COVID-19 restrictions, such as Washington, New York, Oregon and Hawaii. Why is that? Dr. Elena Conis, a historian of medicine and public health at UC Berkeley, believes that California's breakneck pace can be attributed to momentum...

Chants of “Let us in!” filled the air as Los Angeles Unified School District parents protested the district’s vaccine mandate for students at the Parents Call the Shots rally in Westwood Sunday.

We’re getting into the cold months when more people will be gathering indoors and respiratory illnesses like COVID-19 thrive. Requiring some proof of immunity is becoming more standard and widely accepted, and it remains a generally good rule. And the new boosters, now finally available to all adults, will help with this immunity. But immunity alone has proven insufficient to protect a gathering, particularly in the new environment of more aggressive and contagious variants like delta and omicron. Breakthrough infections — those in people who are already immunized — are on the rise. A stark demonstration of this is the...

CHICAGO -- Thirty people were shot, six fatally, in weekend shootings from Friday to Sunday, Chicago police said. A teen was shot Saturday night about 11:20 p.m. in the 200-block of North Wabash Avenue, as police responded to complaints of a "large group in the downtown district." The boy was walking and bumped into a male moving in the opposite direction, Chicago police said. Following an argument, the male shot the 15-year-old in the arm, police said. The teen was taken to Lurie Children's Hospital, where he was listed in good condition, police said. No one was arrested in that...

Former President Trump came in contact with over 500 people between the day he initially tested positive for COVID-19 and his eventual hospitalization, according to a report by The Washington Post. He came in contact with people either in close proximity to him or at events, according to the report. The number, however, doesn't include people present at his rallies. In the time following the initial test, Trump did not take extra precautions such as mask-wearing or social distancing as preventative measures for those he came in contact with after the positive test on Sept. 26, 2020, The Post said.
