In his inaugural address Saturday, New York City's new mayor Eric Adams promised to avoid the reactionary bumbling responses to the COVID-19 pandemic that were characteristic of his predecessor, failed Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio.
Without naming de Blasio, Adams nonetheless acknowledged the frustration felt by many New Yorkers regarding de Blasio's tenure, lamenting that New York City had endured "continual crises" during the last two years. Adams, who has repeatedly stated his insistence on keeping New York City's businesses and schools open during the Omicron wave, promised that "this will be our New Year's resolution: We will not be controlled by crises."

NYS DOH Discriminatory Policy: Covid Therapeutics Access | National Review
NYS DOH Discriminatory Policy: Covid Therapeutics Access | National Review:
This policy must be reversed immediately, and if it isn’t, lawsuits filed. Denying treatment to some patients but allowing it for others based on their race/ethnicity is unquestionably unconstitutional, and hence this state action is unconstitutional. Moreover, such discriminatory policies will bitterly divide the country along racial lines and increase the growing distrust in our public-health institutions.
Just one poor, schmoo, truck driver. Right?--Read all!-----Crime and Consequences, a Holiday Tale - American Thinker
Crime and Consequences, a Holiday Tale - American Thinker
"..Now, some perspective. He wasn’t injured; it wasn’t a mugging or a beating, or a truck hijacking or crash. The cargo wasn’t damaged or stolen either. A wheel was stolen.
...The criminal probably thought he was stealing a $500 or $1000 item from some big conglomerate.
...But that’s not reality, is it?
...For one thing, the trucking company had to put up this driver in a hotel, and cover his meals, for an additional week in New Mexico. This cost wasn’t built into the quoted price for this load, but it isn’t high enough to meet the deductible on the company‘s insurance. The trucking company is taking a financial loss on this move, for sure.
But more importantly, this criminal stole a week of time, precious time, from this driver.
And during the holidays, too.
...The cities and counties of America now have dozens of district attorneys (many elected with massive funding from George Soros) who maintain that theft in this price range isn’t worth caring about, isn’t worth following up, isn’t worth reporting, much less prosecuting.
But crime costs more than a simple price tag.
This driver will never be as comfortable stopping along the road again...Read all!!!

As we’re about to see in dazzling Technicolor display during the 2022 Olympics, so-called woke corporations will overlook a lot of human rights abuses in China to gain access to its enormous market. Media companies that genuflect to Chinese tyranny should take down their brave mottos or proclamations that they’re warriors for democracy and transparency and resistance … starting with The Washington Post.

Wait a minute ... now Mayor de Blasio claims he doesn't 'believe in shutdowns'? - TheBlaze:
And despite his targeting of religious gatherings and aggressive arrests of folks who dared to be outside their homes during the state's lockdown order, as well as his repeated threats of further shutdowns when cases surged again after the first wave, de Blasio now has the audacity to attempt to gaslight Americans and claim that shutdowns are not something he believes in.
Forcing racism and hate into our schools!There’s ‘abundant evidence’ critical race theory is in our schools
There’s ‘abundant evidence’ critical race theory is in our schools
"School district administrators and teachers across the country couldn’t — and can’t — decide whether they teach critical race theory (CRT), a blunder which arguably hurt them in last November’s elections.
The truth is CRT is being taught in our nation’s schools, and a Real Clear Investigations piece has the receipts.
A survey by Education Week just a year after George Floyd’s murder found 8 percent of K-12 teachers “taught or discussed CRT with students,” while 20 percent of teachers in inner-city schools did.
Another survey found over 4 percent of teachers actually are required to teach CRT, and eleven percent said teaching CRT should be compulsory...Read all.

"The CDC changed the definition of a vaccine and significantly altered our understanding of that term.

The Biden administration seems to be covering its tracks.
The change is significant.

- But on September 1, 2021, the definition was changed to read:

The words “immunity” and “protection” were dropped.

An Overlooked Cause of Rome’s Decline
An Overlooked Cause of Rome’s Decline
"...Stark, along with other historians, argues that this epidemic was the primary reason for some of the policies usually attributed to Rome’s decline:
“Now… historians recognize that acute depopulation was responsible for policies once attributed to moral degeneration. For example, massive resettlement of ‘barbarians’ as landholders within the empire and their induction into the legions did not reflect Roman decadence but were rational policies implemented by a state with an abundance of vacant estates and lacking manpower.”
He then quotes from Hans Zinsser’s classic 1934 work on the impact of epidemics, Rats, Lice, and History:
“[A]gain and again, the forward march of Roman power and world organization was interrupted by the only force against which political genius and military valor were utterly helpless—epidemic disease… and when it came, as though carried by storm clouds, all other things gave way, and men crouched in terror, abandoning all their quarrels, undertakings, and ambitions, until the tempest had blown over.”
My purpose in highlighting this overlooked cause of Rome’s decline is not to inspire inertia but to merely caution against utopianism...Read all.

Fauci points out that many of the kids included in count of COVID-19 hospitalizations actually tested positive after being hospitalized for another reason - TheBlaze:
Fauci said that many kids in the hospital with coronavirus are there "with COVID, as opposed to because of COVID. And what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital they automatically get tested for COVID, and they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in for a broken leg, or appendicitis, or something like that. So it's over counting the number of children who are quote, hospitalized with COVID, as opposed to because of COVID," Fauci explained.
