Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michiganian who became the face of American tyranny when she famously cracked down on seed purchases at Home Depot-type stores during the blooming stages of the coronavirus, had this to say about vaccine mandates: “I know if that mandate happens, we’re going to lose state employees” and “that’s why I haven’t proposed a mandate at the state level” and “we’re waiting to see what happens in court.” A Democrat who’s actually taking a cue from courts and citizens’ backlash and slowing roll on a dictate?(Snip)You know you’re losing the battle to subdue civil rights when a tyrant like Gov. Gretchen Whitmer starts getting queasy

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.
Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.(Snip)Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed

Maine has activated its national guard to assist hospitals across the state deal with a recent Covid surge, as the Northeast U.S. gets slammed by a surge in Covid cases. The move was announced by Gov Janet Mills on Wednesday as hospitalizations in her state have increased by nearly 20 percent in the past two weeks. Interestingly, states in the Northeast suffering from Covid surges are also leading the nation in vaccination rate.(Snip)Vermont is the most vaccinated state in America, but still logged a record high in Covid hospitalizations on Wednesday. State officials recorded 92 hospitalizations, including 28 people in intensive care, on December 8.

A Northern Virginia public library removed a holiday-themed display this week that featured the Bible alongside two sexually-explicit books at the center of a furious debate between area school officials and parents who see the material as inappropriate for children. The glass-enclosed display at McLean’s Dolley Madison Public Library included a copy of the Bible as well as copies of “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison and “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe—two books available to students in the Fairfax County Public Schools that have created a furor with their graphic depictions of fellatio and other sexual acts among children, including an image that shows a man

Boris Johnson today hinted coronavirus jabs could eventually be made compulsory or Covid passes could be rolled out in wider society if a 'substantial proportion of the population' remains unvaccinated.
The Prime Minister announced the Government is now triggering its Plan B to reimpose work from home guidance, make masks compulsory in more indoor settings and require people to show a Covid pass to go to nightclubs.(Snip)But Mr Johnson said a 'national conversation' is likely to be needed in the future on how the nation will live with the virus. He said he does not believe the Government can 'keep going indefinitely with non-pharmaceutical interventions'

The husband of a 50-year-old city woman sucker-punched by a deranged homeless man called it an outrage Tuesday that the suspect is still free despite even more than a dozen prior busts. “When does it stop?” the spouse said, asking that he and his wife, who was punched on the Upper West Side, not be identified. “You keep giving him more tries so that he finally kills someone, and then you lock him behind bars?(Snip)Darrell Johnson, a 23-year-old vagrant, was already free without bail on an earlier assault case when police said he slugged two women, including the 50-year-old victim, in unprovoked, random

New York—Despite the cold weather, many restaurateurs around the five boroughs are gearing up for a busy season of dining al fresco.
On the Upper East Side Tuesday afternoon, John Hayes was putting the finishing touches on his outdoor beer garden at Doc Watson’s.
“Everywhere is heated, ventilated. We’ve done as much as we can really,” Hayes said. Improving his outdoor spaces has set Hayes back around $100,000, but he said it’s a price he’s willing to pay to keep customers content.(Snip)Although diners are allowed to eat indoors with a proof of vaccination, the outdoors could become a popular alternative because ventilation may be better.

They were trying to embellish their lovely lady humps. More than 40 camels were booted from a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant after getting administered Botox, hormones and other appearance enhancing techniques. This marks the biggest crackdown in the contest’s history. “The club is keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” the Saudi Press Agency said of the dromedary disqualification which occurred at the annual Abdulaziz Camel Festival, near Riyadh, where breeders compete for some nearly $66 million in prize money, the Washington Post reported. The camels themselves are judged on the shape of their heads, necks, humps, dress and postures

Tourists were sent scrambling for cover after gunmen arrived on jet skis at a beach in Mexico's Caribbean coast resort in Cancun and opened fire. The attackers pulled up to the beach on jet skis and began shooting in Cancun's hotel zone on Tuesday, Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez, the chief of police of the coastal state of Quintana Roo, said. Three jet skis have been found and seized, and nobody appeared to be injured in the attack, police said. A family from Utah said they ran for cover during the shooting, which they say involved the gunmen firing about '20 shots' near the beach.(Snip)Mexican marines with bulletproof vests, helmets

London—British Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologized on Wednesday after a video surfaced showing his staff laughing and joking about a party in Downing Street during a Christmas COVID-19 lockdown last year when such festivities were banned. For more than a week, Johnson and his team have repeated that no rules were broken in late 2020 after the Mirror newspaper reported there had been several parties including a wine-fueled gathering of 40 to 50 people to mark Christmas.(Snip)Opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer accused Johnson of "taking the public for fools," while Ian Blackford of the Scottish National Party called for Johnson to resign.
