We’ve all learned to wash our hands more carefully over the last couple of years, but no one has soaped his dirty digits as fastidiously as Joe Biden. His announcement that “there is no federal solution” to COVID-19 puts him up there with history’s greatest hand-washers. Like Pontius Pilate, Biden is leaving it to the mob: “this gets solved at the state level.” Unlike the procrastinating procurator who surrendered his responsibilities to the jeering Judeans, Biden’s got it right... ...Nothing accrues power to politicians’ hands faster than panic. It is a sign of this administration’s ineptitude that it can’t even...

Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth...

Cases of Covid in South Africa are continuing to fall, as the wave caused by Omicron appears to burn itself out... However the figures for deaths reflect the evidence from the UK that Omicron is significantly less severe than the previous Delta variant. At the very start of the year, in South Africa, deaths hit their peak at an average of 578 a day in the seven days to January 4. The daily toll now is around 60 deaths, bearing out suggestions that patients in South Africa have milder symptoms and are less likely to end up in hospital... Last...

With M&M’s Mars leaving NASCAR many fans are wondering both “why?” and also “who’s next?” Over the last 10-15 years there have been many sponsors jumping ship from the sport as revenue and viewership have dipped lower and lower. So today I want to look more into this trend and see what is going on and why it may be worse or not as bad as many think it is. This is NASCAR’s mass sponsor exodus.

[H/T grey_whiskers]ransomnote: I’m amazed the video clip is still on Twitter when I checked just now. In case it’s deleted, I transcribed Fauci’s statements below.Phil on Twitter: "How many minutes before this gets taken down? https://t.co/vjFAxPxbLx" / Twitter3:49 AM · Dec 28, 2021·Twitter for iPhoneTranscript begins:Antony Fauci: “…to a normal volunteer for a phase I trial to see if it is safe.

The challenging news is that even at that rocket speed, it’s gonna take a few months to show that the initial safety is okay, then you go into...

Dr. Anthony Fauci is “strongly” warning against hugging and kissing your friends and loved ones on New Year’s Eve this year. Fauci also told people to avoid large gatherings during the White House COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday. “If your plans are to go to a 40- to 50-person New Year’s Eve party with all the bells and whistles and everybody hugging and kissing and wishing each other a happy new year, I would strongly recommend that this year we do not do that,” Fauci said.

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams sounded off on the push to pass voting rights legislation on Wednesday. Abrams told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that expanding voting rights “is not about partisanship.” Instead, she asserted it “is about patriotism.” “I’m working very closely with members of the U.S. Senate to ensure that they both understand the urgency of the moment but that we recognize the complications of the structure of the Senate,” Abrams outlined. “And that’s why we need to frame this as restoration of the Senate. This is not about breaking tradition. It is about protecting the fundamentals of our...

"Most patients I’ve seen that had 2 doses of Pfizer/Moderna still had ‘mild’ symptoms, but more than those who had received a third dose. More fatigued. More fever. More coughing. A little more miserable overall. But no shortness of breath. No difficulty breathing. Mostly fine," he said. For those who just had the one shot of the J&J vaccine and never took a booster, the situation isn't as good. "Most patients I’ve seen that had one dose of J&J and had Covid were worse overall. Felt horrible. Fever for a few days (or more). Weak, tired. Some shortness of breath...

Marissa Selvig, a candidate for Wyoming’s U.S. House seat in 2022, announced Monday that she will be campaigning as a member of the Constitution Party and leaving the Republican Primary. snip The standing theory is that the more Republican candidates join the field, the easier it will be for Cheney to win, because candidates do not need a majority, only a plurality. With Selvig out of the primary, Hageman’s chances should be better in theory. snip “[Cheney] is so low that her only chance would be if vast numbers of people run against her which, hopefully, won’t happen,” he said...

The parents of a teenage girl killed by an alleged Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer’s stray bullet tearfully recounted the tragic incident. In a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday, the family of 14-year-old Valentina Orellana Peralta said they are devastated by her death. Valentina was killed last Thursday after allegedly being shot by a stray bullet fired by police officers in a Burlington Coat Factory store while the officers were shooting at an armed suspect. The girls father, Juan Pablo Orellana, said he cannot put into words the loss of his only biological daughter.

Only approved journalism, thank you! That appears to be Twitter’s logic behind suspending Just the News founder John Solomon for 12 hours. Solomon bashed the censorship as “outrageous and unfair.” Just the News released a statement Dec. 28 noting that Solomon was suspended from the leftist Big Tech platform “for sharing an article about the legal distinctions between Pfizer's fully approved and emergency use authorization (EUA) COVID-19 vaccines.” The distinction “could affect the legality of vaccine mandates.” Twitter slapped the article Solomon attempted to share with a “Warning: this link may be unsafe” label and propagandized that it “could lead...

Rodney Scott, a James Beard Award-winning pitmaster and the founder of Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ, says there are a few key red flags to keep an eye on when you're looking for a quality barbecue restaurant to satisfy your craving. The cookbook author told Insider that spotting the difference between a true barbecue spot and a place serving barbecuelike food is as simple as using your senses — just look around. If there is no visible pile of wood or pit area, that's your first red flag "If you could see if they've got wood, or if you could...

Before venturing into a New York hospital, listen to this message from triple-vaxed Nurse Brittney.Check out the TikTok video here (and yes, she IS a nurse)

“They mutated, become worse. It’s entertainment for them.” Now, investigators are exploring the possibility that a violent cell that had pistol-whipped and fired shots during a streak of robberies over the past two months is now even more dangerous. Just two weeks ago, the same source told us, “It’s a pretty quick trip from firing into the air and beating someone with a pistol to shooting someone in the leg, or worse.” But the hold-up activity stopped after one of those vehicles slammed head-on into a CPD unit on the West Side. But none of the car’s occupants were charged...

Remember back in the halcyon days of 2019 when the Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump over the dubious claim he offered the president of Ukraine a quid pro quo in which military funding would be exchanged for an investigation of Hunter Biden’s time with Burisma? If that whole kerfuffle feels like it took place two decades ago, it’s probably because a) it was a (pardon the pun) trumped-up excuse for an impeachment and b) Joe Biden seems to have mentally aged two decades in just two years. Oh, and that pandemic thing, too. That might have had something to do...

VIDEOThis controversial video reveals that air fried plantains are actually much tastier than bananas and can be used as an aid in suppressing the desire for unhealthy junk food. Just air fry them at 380 or 390 degrees for about 15 minutes total and you will have an incredibly tasty snack that both I and Ray Eppstein enjoy.
