For almost two years, COVID-19 vaccine holdouts have been the objects of earnest pleading and financial inducements, of social-media shaming and truth campaigns. They’ve missed weddings, birthday celebrations and recitals, and even forfeited high-stakes athletic competitions. Until last month, they were barred from entering the United States and more than 100 other countries. Now the unvaccinated are suddenly back in the mix. They’re dining in restaurants, rocking out at music festivals and filling the stands at sporting venues. They mingle freely in places where they used to be shunned for fear they’d seed superspreader events. It’s as if they’re no...

Novak Djokovic says he has been given "positive signs" that he will be allowed to enter Australia and compete in the Australian Open in January despite being under a three-year visa ban. The Serbian, whose ban was imposed along with his deportation for his potential to cause "civil unrest" as a "talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment", said these indications were on an 'unofficial' basis. The nine-times Open champion added that he should have confirmation in 'the next few weeks' of whether he will be allowed in.

Joe Biden Wednesday evening delivered a dark and divisive speech with less than one week to go until the midterm elections. Just like Tucker Carlson said, the guy who took “inappropriate showers” with his own daughter is trying to tell you that you’re a bad person. Biden lashed out at Trump in his speech and smeared him with lies. Joe Biden also signaled that the fix is in and claimed certain races won’t be called on election night. Biden did not mention inflation once Wednesday night. One of the key issues for Americans going into the midterms is the persistent...

Next week, the Supreme Court will have a chance to save the free market economy from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Even as the court reins in the administrative state, the FTC is advancing new rules and novel theories that stretch the limits of its mandate. Under its progressive chair, Lina Khan, the FTC wants to cancel the gig economy, cripple the ad-supported internet, and address racial justice, rather than simply protect consumers. In Axon Enterprise v. FTC, the court could take a big step toward cabining the FTC within its statutory and constitutional authority. Axon itself involves a narrow...

Former Olympic swimmer Scott Andrew Miller's unorthodox and lonely youth led him down the treacherous path to importing over $2million worth of meth, a court has heard. 'That became a lonely and depressed adulthood, marred by substance abuse and depression,' his lawyer ​​Arjun Chabra told the NSW District Court on Thursday. 'The circumstances only seem to explain what led him down this treacherous path.' He added Miller's life as a boy was 'regimented and geared towards competition', where he was 'mismanaged'. Miller, 45, has pleaded guilty to two counts of supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug. He was...

Earlier in the day, I warned readers that Biden was set to make Wednesday night about democracy. Well, I watched Custard’s Last Stand. On the upside, I need to lose a little weight and now I have no appetite. I thought I would address my reaction to the ersatz commander-in-chief: Dear Mr. President, First of all, the United States of America is not a democracy. Dear God, that is Civics 101. America is a republic. It was designed as a republic because the framers knew that democracies could easily descend into mob rule. That includes mobs you like. More on...

Republicans are taking a more proactive approach to election integrity in 2022. Learning from their slow reaction to sweeping late rule changes in the 2020 presidential election, Republicans are being more proactive in their efforts to secure elections in 2022. In keeping with this new approach, House Republicans led by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the ranking member of the House Administration Committee, have peppered state and local officials with letters ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections demanding redress of prior failures and preventive measures to preempt problems on Election Day. Hogan Gidley, the vice chair of the Center for...

Henry V was a power-hungry imperialist rather than an English hero, the Globe’s latest production of the William Shakespeare play will suggest. Rather than lauding a “band of brothers” defeating the French against the odds at Agincourt, the new staging will show audiences the “devastating cost” of Henry’s “bombastic pursuit of power”.

Police have arrested a pair of Sevilla fans over alleged racist abuse aimed towards Manchester City youngster Rico Lewis during Wednesday night’s Champions League match at the Etihad. Man City were 3-1 winners over the La Liga side in their final group stage match and it was a special night for Lewis as the 17-year-old started a match in Europe’s biggest competition and scored the equaliser for the Premier League side – becoming the youngest-ever player to score on their first start in the competition. The right-back was substituted during the 85th minute and it is alleged that the racist...

... "Our ambition is to be the No. 2 foundry in the world by the end of the decade, and [we] expect to generate leading foundry margins," Randhir Thakur, the president of Intel Foundry Services, told Nikkei Asia. IFS was set up last year to turn Gelsinger's vision into a reality. For Intel, such a move is not only a new potential revenue source, but also a way to regain a technological edge in chip manufacturing lost to Asia over the past decades. Investors, however, do not seem entirely convinced: Intel's share price has more than halved since it embarked...

Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata, 45, of South Milwaukee was fired by Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson this week after Johnson discovered she had requested the ballots. Milwaukee County prosecutors are considering charging Zapata with malfeasance in office, a felony, and illegally requesting a ballot, a misdemeanor, a source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. District Attorney John Chisholm said in a statement his office is reviewing the election fraud allegations and that prosecutors "expect charges to be filed in the coming days." Michael Maistelman, who is representing Zapata, declined to answer questions. "We will litigate this in the courtroom,...

A Miami jury on Thursday convicted a Donald Trump supporter who was accused of shooting at two men in a dust-up that started over one of them flying a “Running with Biden” flag on his Jet Ski on Election Day 2020. The six-person jury deliberated less than two hours in convicting Eduardo Acosta, 39, on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault with a firearm and armed robbery. He faces up to life in prison, with a mandatory minimum of at least 20 years, when he is sentenced on Dec. 16. The case was decided against the backdrop of increased political...

Yesterday (Wednesday), the High Court of Justice rejected a petition filed by the Regavim Movement to compel the military commander and the Civil Administration to repeal Jordanian Law #40 which prohibits the sale of land in Judea and Samaria to Jews – a law still in force due to Israel’s decision not to extend its law or sovereignty to territory liberated in 1967. .....

Drivers, beware. Your chances of hitting a deer are at their highest now through next week. For a week after clocks change this Sunday, motorists are 16% more likely to run into a deer, according to a recent report that examined a dataset of more than one million instances of vehicles colliding with deer across 23 states in the United States. A team of researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle, led by Calum X. Cunningham, published their findings Wednesday with Current Biology, detailing how deer-vehicle collisions spike in late October through early November. According to the researchers, deer...

A controversial Brooklyn judge is secretly considering cutting a deal that would give a gangbanger a slap-on-the-wrist sentence in an attempted murder case — as long as he says he’s sorry, The Post has learned. Acting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Laura Johnson has been weighing sentencing accused gunman Donte Simpson to just five years behind bars for the May 2021 shooting that left the 17-year-old victim paralyzed for life, law enforcement sources said. That’s as long as Simpson — an alleged member of the violent street gang “Focus On Paper” — writes a letter expressing remorse, according to the sources....
