This seems like a very important data point in the Great School Reopening Debate, no? If more than three-quarters of adults who are around students every day have received their first dose, which alone provides 80 percent protection from infection, that’s a powerful argument that schools can reopen safely in the near term. And yet

A little palate cleanser of a story at the end of a long day. On Monday Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers began a two-week stint as guest host on Jeopardy!. A little fun was had at his expense during the Final round question. The two-day returning champ, Scott Shewfelt, took a not-subtle-at-all jab at

Business reopening as vaccination rates continue to climb and people going back to work is good news, right? Obviously, it is, assuming employers can find enough interested and qualified applicants to fill the openings. But CBS Chicago is reporting that the owners of bars and restaurants are increasingly having trouble making that happen. Multiple restaurant

A tasty leftover from yesterday via Breitbart. It caught Politico’s attention last night too. It’s strange that on the very day MLB was preparing to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver that the White House would strain to minimize Biden’s role in that process. Is Team Joe rethinking the politics here? Watch what

Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, was interviewed on Sunday Morning Futures and made an interesting statement about his recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. He said that a Biden administration official instructed the senators in the delegation led by Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz to delete their photos. None of the Republican

And you thought the Arwen sequences in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy were slow. Last week, an unknown archivist in Russia managed to dig up and digitize the Soviet adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s epic saga, which might rival the 1977 Star Wars Holiday Special for production values. All that’s missing is Bea Arthur and a

Not just “absolute malarkey” either, but dishonest absolute malarkey. CBS News’ 60 Minutes tried to paint Florida’s partnership with supermarket giant Publix as a kind of payoff for campaign contributions in a segment last night targeting Governor Ron DeSantis. Its centerpiece came in this clip from a press conference, in which the show’s correspondent tried to confront

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) issued a correction on a story that made some false claims about Georgia’s election law reform legislation. The newspaper made the mistake of printing Democrat talking points, specifically remarks made by President Biden, instead of the truth. AJC originally falsely reported that voting hours had been cut in the bill and

An update to last week’s post about case counts declining in the Lone Star state. Not only have cases continued to fall in Texas since then, the seven-day average is now the lowest it’s been since June 18, 2020 according to Worldometer. Yesterday the state was averaging just 3,263 daily confirmed infections. On March 10,

Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network. Burns has achieved immense success for his documentaries made for PBS and has been generously rewarded for his work there. A group of nearly 140 filmmakers and other

May all of our readers have a happy and blessed Easter celebration today, as we begin to see light at the end of a tunnel that we started entering about this time last year. We would also like to wish our Jewish readers a belated Passover greeting, as this year both events take place close

Have you ever had one of those moments when it seems as if you’ve slipped through some sort of dimensional doorway into an alternate reality, as happened in some of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone? Reading some of the liberal editorials making the rounds these days can produce a similar effect. That’s what

Writing at the Wall Street Journal this week, Nicole Saphier has a very simple message for the CDC. “Dr. Fauci, Tear Off These Masks.” This new spin on a famous speech by Ronald Reagan wasn’t some sort of April Fools joke. The author lays out a very cogent argument as to why we are already

Vermont Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, announced the decision to open up Covid-19 vaccination availability to everyone over the age of 16, except for white people. There is a prioritization of anyone who identifies as black, indigenous, or a person of color in Vermont. Governor Scott spread the word via a tweet. It seems like

Rochelle Walensky’s having a rough week. lol this is incredible. CDC this week:“impending doom”“Vaccinated people do not carry the virus”“safe to travel”“should still not travel”I understand there are a lot of nuances but there’s gotta be a better way to communicate this stuff https://t.co/84qrIv61zt — Christopher Ingraham (@_cingraham) April 2, 2021 Today she finally closed

As we’ve covered here in the past, the Senate is expecting a report from the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force by June 25th regarding what is known about the various unidentified aerial phenomena – or UFOs, if you prefer – that have been reportedly showing up in restricted airspace around the United States. (And most of

If so, your wait is over tomorrow. On Good Friday, the independent film Roe v Wade will get a wide release in practically every on-line and cable platform. It tells the back story of the court case that became Roe v Wade from the pro-life perspective of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who was one of the original pro-abortion activists

I missed this statement from last night when writing up Biden’s comments earlier about MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia to protest the new election law. If there’s any Democrat with more sway than President Joe over how corporate America behaves in GA, it’s Abrams, the rising star whose turnout machine delivered three

The madness continues on the southern border, particularly in Texas. We’ve already seen all of the horror stories of unaccompanied children being tossed over a ten-foot border wall by coyotes, leaving them on the ground for CBP to find. But now some of the immigration enforcement agents are reportedly too overwhelmed by the numbers to

The CEO of Delta Airlines is now calling Georgia’s new voting law “unacceptable”. This is a 360-degree reversal of a statement released last Friday by the company, headquartered in Atlanta. That was then, this is now. There is no other way to look at a statement released today by Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian but

Last December, Democrat Rita Hart decided she would skip the courts in Iowa and appeal her 6-vote loss in the Iowa-2 congressional district directly to Congress. Speaker Pelosi wound up seating the certified winner of that race, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks but this month it seemed Democrats were serious about relitigating the outcome and possible handing

We’re about to get our first look at Joe Biden’s proposed infrastructure package and if you tend to be subject to sticker shock, you’re probably going to want to sit down for this one. The first thing to know about Biden’s proposal is that he’s been working with Senator Bernie Sanders (I – Vermont) to

One way to distribute Covid-19 vaccinations is for the vaccinations to go to the recipients instead of recipients going to vaccination locations. This line of thought is being presented as a way to ease what is often described as inequities in underserved communities to access vaccinations. This idea is being used by retailers in some

A very bad idea turns out to be very bad on multiple levels. Having helped rapper Lil Nas X troll Christians with “Satan shoes” at $1018 a pair, manufacturer MSCHF has drawn the ire of Nike. The shoemaking giant sued over trademark infringement yesterday in federal court, after having to spend the previous weekend explaining

In 2017, upstate New York was hit by some fairly serious flooding. One of the towns that were partially submerged was Greece, a suburb of Rochester near the banks of Lake Ontario. That’s where Sherry Vill and her family lived and she was somewhat surprised when Governor Andrew Cuomo showed up to tour her property

This has been a long time coming. Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as Jeffrey Epstein’s massage scheduler and procurer of young girls, has been charged with sex trafficking of a 14-year-old. Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was charged on Monday for the first time with sex-trafficking of a minor, as federal prosecutors

The debate over immunity passports is already heating up on social media. Since I published an article on the plan that’s about to go into effect in New York State, I’ve received all manner of feedback from those who agree with the plan and others who, like me, find this to be the beginning of

Nearly two full months after the World Health Organization sent a team to China to investigate the origins of the novel coronavirus, they are finally close to releasing their findings. An early copy of the draft report was leaked to the press by an anonymous diplomat from a WHO member country and the overview portion

Something seems really off about this Asian hate crime narrative being pushed regarding the Georgia spa killings. The facts don’t support the narrative. Cherokee County sheriff’s investigators said the accused shooter was addicted to sex and saw the spas as a temptation in need of elimination. Atlanta police said the man was a customer at

If the CDC hadn’t crapped the bed on distributing an accurate diagnostic test expeditiously last January and February, and if experts hadn’t told the public a “noble lie” early about masks being ineffective in order to preserve the existing supply for medical personnel, we might have been able to limit the first 100,000 too.
