With US markets still in turmoil during Monday’s thin-liquidity sessions, more troubling COVID headlines added to the general downcast mood when NYC raised its alert level from “low” to “medium”. The shift comes as the number of new cases per 100K people over the past week has surpassed 200. The latest number of 209.02 cases per 100,000 is the highest since early February. Patients hospitalized with the virus also have increased over the last month, but still remain below 500. During the omicron-induced surge around the holidays, hospitalizations in the city peaked above 6,500 in January, per NY State data....

The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country. The vermin at CNN and MSNBC are freaking out and openly admitting they do not believe in free speech. NBC’s Mehdi Hasan lashed out at Elon Musk and asserted that all Republicans are Nazis. “If [the “neo-Nazi faction” of the GOP expands in November],...

After months of declining numbers, California has recorded a nearly 30% increase in coronavirus cases over the last week along with smaller rises in hospitalizations, causing some health officials to suspect that the state is headed into a new pandemic wave. The increase coincides with a loosening of COVID-19 restrictions such as mask mandates and vaccine verification rules as well as the rise of new subvariants of the highly transmissible Omicron strain. The question now is how much higher cases will go and whether new government intervention will be needed.

The Nov. 30, 2021, letter from Danielle Singh, principal of Janney Elementary School, added that "as part of this work, each student has a [Fistbook] to help continue the dialogue at school and home." What are the details? The "Anti-Racism Fight Club Fistbook for Kids" by...

Today we saw the 10-year Treasury Note yield break through the 3% barrier, then retreat as is there was a reflecting barrier at 3%. And in Europe, we saw a flash crash allegedly caused by Citi’s trading desk. The selloff was triggered by a large erroneous transaction made by the U.S. bank’s London trading desk, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private information. A knee-jerk selloff in OMX Stockholm 30 Index in five minutes wreaked havoc in bourses stretching from Paris to Warsaw toppling the main European index by as much...

Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel is confident he will win Tuesday's Republican primary and take Democrat Sen. Tim Ryan’s seat in November despite an uphill battle against Trump-backed opponent J.D. Vance, who is leading the polls. Mandel said on "America’s Newsroom" Monday that his campaign strategy is something no other Ohio Senate candidate has ever done, and it will take him to victory. "Rather than running the campaign through traditional Republican Party groups, we’ve actually run our campaign through churches," he told co-hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer. "We’ve got this army of Christian warriors throughout the state who are...

As we get closer and closer to November's midterm elections, doomsday predictions about a bloodbath for Democrats have come to dominate the news. It seems like you can't turn on your TV or scroll through Twitter for five minutes without being informed by some pundit or other—on both sides of the political spectrum—about the dire situation the Democrats face in races across the country. These naysayers are missing the robust record that the Democrats have to run on—one that includes the not insignificant line item of being the only side standing up for Democracy itself. Republicans have shown their laissez...

The idea of marrying a hologram may sound like the plot of the latest episode of Black Mirror. But it became a reality in 2018, when a 'fictosexual' man married a virtual reality hologram during a ceremony in Tokyo. Akihiko Kondo, 35, spent ¥2 million (£12,222) on a formal ceremony at a Tokyo hall to Hatsune Miku, an animated 16-year-old hologram with saucer eyes and lengthy aquamarine pigtails. But despite thinking he could 'be with her forever', Mr Kondo has been left devastated, after the expiration of her software meant he could no longer speak to his wife. What has...

Finding a candidate to lead the DHS Disinformation Board was not an easy task. Many on the Right suggested that the Biden Administration had an easy task to make the selection but they do not understand the selection protocols used in the selection process. Normally, the method used is to identify the position to be filled and then go to the "Trash Can of Humanity" to draw names for the selections. What was immediately discovered, as names were pulled from the trashcan, was that all had already received positions in the Biden Administration. Mayorkas, Buttguy, Blinken, Garland, Levine, etc. On...

HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver said he’s pleased at the prospect of Disney paying more taxes in Florida but doesn’t like the fact that it was Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who successfully brought down the hammer on the company. Oliver called DeSantis a “right-wing *******” and falsely accused the governor of being “scared” of gay people, presumably because of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits the teaching of sexuality and gender ideology to children in kindergarten through third grade.

The principal at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville, Minn., advertised a “day of silence” during which students refrained from speaking to protest for LGBTQ causes. The principal, Kelly McDermott, promoted the event, which took place late last week, on the school’s Schoology page. “Tomorrow … is a Day [sic] of silence. This is a day where lgbtq [sic] members and their allies vow to not speak for the entirety of the day,” she posted. “We realize that a bunch of students not speaking for an entire day may be inconvenient or stressful, but we would like our school to...

Jimmy Kimmel says the “show must not go on” after testing positive for the coronavirus in a breakthrough case. “Our daughter brought us COVID (even though we specifically asked her not to),” the ABC late-night TV host wrote to his nearly 12 million Twitter followers on Monday. Kimmel, 54, said that his family was “feeling fine” and that he was “double vaxxed and boosted.”

Sen. Johnson blasts DHS's new misinformation board as 'Orwellian' Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rep. James Comer, R. Ky., join 'Sunday Morning Futures' to react to the Department of Homeland Security's new Disinformation Governance Board to combat online disinformation and discuss the Bidens' business dealings.

......... In a 2019 profile, the New York Times reported that Broeksmit is the son of a Deutsche Bank executive who died by suicide in 2014. After his father's death, Broeksmit gained access to his father's email account and files related to the bank, the Times reported. Federal and state authorities were scrutinizing allegations of criminal misconduct and the bank's long relationship with former President Donald Trump, the New York Times reported. Former President Trump's longtime bank revealed in August 2019 that it has tax records Congress sought in an investigation into his finances. The U.S. House Intelligence Committee subpoenaed...

It’s a cold day in hell when a leftist outlet like The Atlantic admits free speech online is actually a good thing. Atlantic contributing writer Jeffrey Rosen published a May 2 piece praising Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s view of Twitter and free speech: “Elon Musk Is Right That Twitter Should Follow the First Amendment.” Musk’s perspective on remaking the censorship-obsessed platform into a public town square that encourages diversity of opinion is backed up by “[a] long history of free-speech jurisprudence,” Rosen said.

Today I’m doing something a little different: I am summarizing what we know about the mechanisms of covid vaccine injury, along with lots of links, so you have it all in one place. This area is developing fast, and I haven’t seen anyone try to bring it together yet. Hopefully this is interesting and helpful.
