Only a third of the vaccine doses shipped to the states by the federal government are making it into people’s arms. That is unacceptable.
By Betsy McCaughey, The Gatestone Institute
Americans are desperate to get vaccinated against COVID. Deaths are soaring, and new strains of the virus, including the UK strain and a newly discovered US strain reported for the first time last week, are reported to be even more contagious. Doctors are warning that as the virus becomes more infectious, even a trip to the supermarket with a mask is risky. Survival hinges on getting vaccinated.
Yet only a third of the vaccine doses shipped to the states by the federal government are actually making it into people’s arms. The public hears they may have to wait months. That is unacceptable.
Vaccine supply is not the problem. The US already has 400 million doses in total of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the pipeline, enough to vaccinate 200 million people. (Both vaccines require a two-shot regimen.) In addition, this week, Johnson & Johnson announced it will be ready to seek FDA authorization for its vaccine by March. Initial results from its clinical trials indicate the same 90% plus efficacy as the Moderna and Pfizer products, and with only one shot.
The problem is that state and local authorities are bungling vaccine distribution.
In southern California, ICU beds are full and oxygen supplies are almost out. Doctors are scoring COVID patients based on overall health status and organ function, preparing to reserve treatments and ICU beds.
Yet California has managed to use only 28% of its vaccines. The rest sits on shelves. Arizona has used only 30%, although it has the highest infection rate in the US.
Every evening, New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo sends out an e-mail blast blaming the vaccine chaos in New York on inadequate supply from the federal government. It is a lie. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show New York is delivering only 37% of its vaccine supply into people’s arms.
With vaccines available, many of the people who will die shortly from COVID could be saved. But New York’s vaccine distribution is a chaotic mess. The New York State website had a sign up Friday that it was out of order due to “overwhelming demand.” What did state officials expect? People are struggling to protect their lives. Two days earlier, the state vaccine hotline carried the same message.
The vaccine rollout has been a disaster because states failed to prepare, despite having months of warning. Cuomo’s now telling unions to figure out how to vaccinate their members themselves. Last week New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio floated the idea of a mass vaccination site at Yankee Stadium, as if the challenge of distributing vaccines is new to him.
All this is proof that the states are failing miserably. It is time for a federal emergency mass vaccination program staged at malls, arenas and other public sites.
Sadly, members of Congress have ignored the pleas from desperate Americans. After all, they have received their shots. Over the din of their rancorous partisan debates, they need to be reminded that we need our shots.
On Friday, President-elect Joe Biden announced his plan to improve vaccination rates. It is modest. He promised 100 million shots in the first hundred days of his term. That will not do the job. It is barely half of what is needed. A staggering 1.8 million people a day need to be vaccinated between now and the end of May to achieve herd immunity by July, according to the American Hospital Association.
Biden pledged to mobilize the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal agencies to build more vaccination sites and provide federal employees such as military medical personnel to staff them. Again, a step in the right direction. He promised 100 sites. We shall probably require far more.
Biden stressed that he will need Congress’s cooperation to fund this effort. For the last week, members of Congress did not see fit to spend even one minute tackling the life-threatening virus terrorizing the rest of us. No matter where you stand on the events at the Capitol, ignoring the vaccine crisis is unconscionable.
It is time to demand that our elected politicians turn to the public’s number one concern and get the nation vaccinated.
Betsy McCaughey is chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths and a former lieutenant governor of New York.

Israeli vaccinations up, infections drop from record high as outbreak appears to ease

Israel sets new record in daily coronavirus vaccinations with key infection numbers beginning to drop.
By Paul Shindman, World Israel News
Data released by Israel’s Health Ministry on Friday showed that coronavirus infection numbers are starting to drop as the number of Israelis vaccinated against the disease continues to rise.
There were 7,114 new infections in the past day, down from a record high of just over 10,000 earlier in the week, with 1,847 Israelis hospitalized with coronavirus, down from a peak of 1.989 on Sunday.
The number of those currently listed in serious condition is also down slightly to 1,158, with 328 of them in critical condition connected to ventilators to help them breathe. So far this week 258 Israelis have succumbed to the virus, bringing the death toll to 4,263 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The deadly power of the third wave of infections to hit Israel is evident in the rising number of fatalities. Since December 22, 1,152 Israelis died from coronavirus, meaning more than a quarter of the deaths from the pandemic have occurred in the past month alone.
The national vaccination campaign using the two-shot vaccine from the American company Pfizer is continuing at a record pace. As of Friday morning, 2.4 million of Israel’s 9.3 million citizens have received the vaccination, with 851,000 already inoculated with the two doses required.
“We broke another record in the number of vaccinated per day – 224,000 vaccines were given yesterday,” tweeted Health Minister Yuli Edelstein.
One of the factors keeping the numbers higher than what health officials want is the large number of Israelis returning from abroad who refuse to follow health guidelines that require 14 days of self-isolation.
“There is no vaccine for irresponsibility. Only a third (32%) of those returning from abroad have maintained their isolation obligation,” despite all countries being declared “red” by the Health Ministry over fears many air travelers are infected with mutations of the coronavirus,” Israel Hayom reported.
“Anyone who breaks the rules is responsible for thousands of people infected,” Dr. Zeev Feldman, a senior doctor at Sheba Medical Center, told the paper.
Israelis continue to turn out in large numbers to get vaccinated, with the country’s four health maintenance organizations providing the bulk of the work. By law, all Israelis belong to an HMO and are able to make an appointment for a vaccination by phone or online.
At the Meuhedet vaccination clinic operated in Jerusalem’s Misgav Ledach Hospital, a constant stream of HMO members arrived on Thursday with hundreds of people getting vaccinated every hour. After getting their temperatures checked at the door, they swiped their health cards at a computerized stand, received a number, and following a short wait were called to the vaccination room, where medical staff at 10 stations checked their information before administering the dose.
After waiting 15 minutes to ensure there were no adverse side affects, the vaccinated people returned home. Israel’s national lockdown continues with schools and most retail business closed except for food stores and pharmacies.
The head of Israel’s national coronavirus task force, Prof. Nachman Ash, told Channel 12 News Thursday he hoped the lockdown would not have to be extended past the end of the month.
“The data is encouraging — we’ve already seen for several days a curbing and even decline in morbidity,” Ash said. “I very much hope the trend continues and we won’t have to extend the lockdown.”

Trump departure 'certainly given pause' to peace deals, says US special envoy

“Anybody doing any deal ever knows that it’s easier to do a deal when you’ve got certainty and it’s less easy to do a deal when there’s uncertainty,” said Aryeh Lightstone.
By Josh Plank, World Israel News
Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, outgoing U.S. special envoy for economic normalization in the Middle East, voiced optimism about the region while acknowledging that a changing U.S. administration has led to uncertainty about future peace deals in an interview with Kan News on Wednesday.
When asked whether the lack of a second term for the Trump administration had damaged developing peace negotiations between Arab nations and Israel, Lightstone said, “I don’t want to say ‘damaged,’ but certainly has given pause.”
“Anybody doing any deal ever knows that it’s easier to do a deal when you’ve got certainty and it’s less easy to do a deal when there’s uncertainty,” he said.
The Trump administration has successfully brokered normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Lightstone said he has been involved in talks with “over a dozen more” countries.
He said that he believes Saudi Arabia will be ready for a normalization agreement with Israel “at some point.”
“[T]he region is pivoting towards the benefits of greater prosperity, security, and safety for all of the inhabitants,” he said.
Lightstone said it is in America’s best interest for countries to be not dependent but independent.
“And if you are going to become independent and rejoin the community of nations, it’s been the policy of this president that you can’t do that and still decide that you’re not going to have normalization with Israel,” he said.
“You can’t be my best friend unless you’re going to talk to my other best friend, right? It’s not possible. I can’t imagine a relationship like that,” said Lightstone.
He said that this seemingly obvious fact was “not obvious at all” to other nations when the normalization talks began.
In an interview with i24News on Sunday, Lightstone was optimistic about future normalization agreements, saying there would be “definitely more to come.”
“Peace does not belong to Republicans or to Democrats. It is not an issue for Jews, or Christians, or Muslims; it’s an issue for mankind,” he said.
“I don’t need to prognosticate about a future administration because I can prognosticate about the American people. The American people and the United States of America have always been for peace. They’ve always been for freedom. They’ve always been for prosperity. They’ve always been for security,” said Lightstone.
“The Abraham Accords, stemming and starting with the United States of America standing without any daylight between our number one ally in the region, Israel, has caused and created the room for the Abraham Accords to progress and to progress rapidly. Any and every American will be supportive of this,” he said.
Outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, to whom Lightstone has served as a senior advisor, told CBN News in a recent interview that the Trump administration has left the Mideast in a good place.
“I would urge real caution in changing any of the dynamic. It ain’t broke, so don’t fix it,” he said.

Ellie Cohanim, deputy anti-Semitism czar, tells WIN why Trump is 'the most philo-Semitic president in US history'
| null | null |
worldisraelnews.com
|
Cohanim says she could not have imagined something like the Abraham Accords before she entered the Trump administration.
By Joseph Wolkin, World Israel News
Ellie Cohanim understands anti-Semitism. She grew up in Tehran where Jews were accepted as equal members of society until the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
As tensions grew in Iran, her family was one of many which fled to America, where she blossomed into a first-class journalist. Cohanim worked her way up to become senior vice president of the Jewish Broadcasting Service.
In 2019, she was named the Deputy Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism.
In her year-and-a-half at the post, Cohanim succeeded, together with Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating anti-Semitism Elan Carr, in contributing to a number of ground-breaking accomplishments.
Cohanim spoke with World Israel News about the ongoing fight against anti-Semitism and offered a little advice for the incoming president.
Q: What’s the latest news out of the office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism?
“We had a virtual MOU signing with a NGO in Morocco named Association Mimouna. The memorandum is to combat anti-Semitism, as well as the delegitimization of Israel.
“It’s truly a ground-breaking agreement. The organization was started by a group of Muslim college students in Morocco, who at the time, became interested in the history of Jews in Morocco. They created a student club and they explored Jewish history. The history of Jews in Morocco actually dates back to antiquity. In 1492, during the Inquisition when Jews needed to flee Spain, Morocco became a haven and there was an influx of Jews.
“Over the years, most of the Jews ended up leaving, so much so that these college students had not met any Jews. Since their founding, they created the first Arabic language Holocaust curriculum. They were also the first Arab country to take a student delegation to Israel in 2018.
“It’s a changed Middle East and North Africa that exists today. It’s really a different region with tremendous thanks to people like King Mohammed VI, President Donald Trump and the vision of peace and prosperity that he held for the region.
“The warm embrace I’ve been observing myself between Israelis and Jews with Arabs and Muslims is something we’ve all dreamt about. We thought our children and grandchildren would one day experience peace, and it is quite the historic moment that we’re seeing this warm embrace of Jews and Israelis by their Arab neighbors today in our lifetime.”
Q: When you entered this position, did you imagine something as important and life-changing as the Abraham Accords?
“Before I joined the administration, I did not. My imagination did not stretch that far. I have to say that once I joined the administration, I quickly gained new guidance from the incredible people we were so fortunate to work with in the administration like senior advisor Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz [assistant to the president and special representative for international negotiations]. This team truly moved mountains and did what everyone said was impossible.”
Q: Did you ever think you’d personally have the opportunity to work with a sitting president and fight against anti-Semitism on such a large scale?
“I was tapped for the position and when I was approached, I felt instantly that it’s truly an honor and a privilege. This was the honor and privilege of a lifetime — to serve under this administration and to have the opportunity to give back to the country that gave me refuge as a child.”
Q: How did your childhood upbringing help you succeed in this role?
“I was born in Iran and, as a young child, we saw the Islamic Revolution of 1979 unfold before us. The Persian Jews are one of the most ancient Jewish communities in the world, dating back to the story of Purim with Queen Esther. You’re talking about one of the most ancient peoples in the world.
“In 1979, you had this radical Islamic regime come in and take control. My family and the majority of Jews felt we were at risk and under threat, and we fled our ancient home. That personal history has given me a perspective that’s been with me since my childhood in the sense that I understood that anti-Semitism is a threat you can never underestimate.
“Societies can flip overnight. Iran, under the Shah prior to 1979, was a very hospitable place for the Jews. There were formal relationships between Iran and Israel. This was a country that was looked upon as a golden beacon of the Middle East. I understand that we have to be committed to fighting and combating hatred against Jews and understand that in many parts of the world today there are Jewish populations that find themselves in a vulnerable place.”
Q: What is your greatest achievement as part of this administration?
“My personal greatest achievements have been to negotiate and close two MOUs with the Arab world. The first was with Bahrain’s King Hamad Global Centre for Peaceful Coexistence in October. The second was last week’s signing with Association Mimouna. For someone who is from the Middle East, there is no greater accomplishment than to help. In some way, this is a rectification of history because most of the individuals in the Middle East and North Africa carry in them a desire for peace and a better world. We’ve come together to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. We’re building a better future that all children deserve.”
Q: The work of the Special Envoy has been so impactful that it’s been elevated to an ambassador level. What does that mean to you?
“It’s a very important move because what we are seeing is — what the statistics show — is anti-Semitism is rising, unfortunately. The position that the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism has to serve as the voice of the United States of America and bring the power of the United States in combating anti-Semitism is a deeply important mission. We know there’s a lot of work to be done. Elevating this position to an ambassadorship is the right thing to do.”
Q: What advice do you have for the upcoming administration of Joe Biden to fight against anti-Semitism?
“The first piece of advice I would give the Biden administration is starting with the Middle East and North Africa. The Trump administration is leaving the region as a changed region. It’s a new paradigm, where you’re seeing Muslims and Jews as friendly neighbors with warm relations, diplomatic ties and business ties.
“The Biden administration would be well-served to continue on that effort of the Abraham Accords and to create more peace deals and normalization between the Arab countries and the Jewish State of Israel. What we have observed already is that with the normalization of ties with Israel comes a correlating decrease of anti-Semitism in the region.
“Understanding that so much of the hatred against Jews is fueled from the hatred in the Middle East, it’s really one of the key ways the Biden administration can advance the fight against anti-Semitism. Continue our efforts and successes in creating peace in the Middle East.
“The second piece of advice is that the issue of anti-Semitism should not be politicized. There are too many voices that are only concerned when there is an anti-Semitism incident or attack. They focus on where on the political spectrum does the perpetrator fall. Then, they turn this fact into a political football. This leaves Jews more vulnerable. Anti-Semitism should not be politicized. Let’s focus on policies that will work and will combat anti-Semitism no matter the politics.”
Q: Over the past few years, people call President Trump an anti-Semite, a Nazi and even compare him to Hitler. How hateful is that for you to hear and see personally based on your position?
“I can tell you that President Trump is going to go down in history as the most philo-Semitic U.S. president.
“The reason why is the policies that he set and the historic moves the president made, those facts speak for themselves. Whether it is the president recognizing that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights as being under Israeli sovereignty, the understanding that the settlements in the West Bank are not against international law, stepping up against the United Nations and their incredible bias against Israel, these are the steps that President Trump took.
“He also issued an executive order combating anti-Semitism in December 2019. What kind of anti-Semite would do that? This offers Title VI protection to American Jews. No president had done it and the United States Congress was not able to pass legislation that the executive order did. President Donald Trump’s track record speaks for itself.”

"Cohanim says she could not have imagined something like the Abraham Accords before she entered the Trump administration.\nBy Joseph Wolkin, World Israel News\nEllie Cohanim understands anti-Semitism. She grew up in Tehran where Jews were accepted as equal members of society until the 1979 Iranian Revolution.\nAs tensions grew in Iran, her family was one of many which fled to America, where she blossomed into a first-class journalist. Cohanim worked her way up to become senior vice president of the Jewish Broadcasting Service.\nIn 2019, she was named the Deputy Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism.\nIn her year-and-a-half at the post, Cohanim succeeded, together with Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating anti-Semitism Elan Carr, in contributing to a number of ground-breaking accomplishments.\nCohanim spoke with World Israel News about the ongoing fight against anti-Semitism and offered a little advice for the incoming president.\nQ: What’s the latest news out of the office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism?\n“We had a virtual MOU signing with a NGO in Morocco named Association Mimouna. The memorandum is to combat anti-Semitism, as well as the delegitimization of Israel.\n“It’s truly a ground-breaking agreement. The organization was started by a group of Muslim college students in Morocco, who at the time, became interested in the history of Jews in Morocco. They created a student club and they explored Jewish history. The history of Jews in Morocco actually dates back to antiquity. In 1492, during the Inquisition when Jews needed to flee Spain, Morocco became a haven and there was an influx of Jews.\n“Over the years, most of the Jews ended up leaving, so much so that these college students had not met any Jews. Since their founding, they created the first Arabic language Holocaust curriculum. They were also the first Arab country to take a student delegation to Israel in 2018.\n“It’s a changed Middle East and North Africa that exists today. It’s really a different region with tremendous thanks to people like King Mohammed VI, President Donald Trump and the vision of peace and prosperity that he held for the region.\n“The warm embrace I’ve been observing myself between Israelis and Jews with Arabs and Muslims is something we’ve all dreamt about. We thought our children and grandchildren would one day experience peace, and it is quite the historic moment that we’re seeing this warm embrace of Jews and Israelis by their Arab neighbors today in our lifetime.”\nQ: When you entered this position, did you imagine something as important and life-changing as the Abraham Accords?\n“Before I joined the administration, I did not. My imagination did not stretch that far. I have to say that once I joined the administration, I quickly gained new guidance from the incredible people we were so fortunate to work with in the administration like senior advisor Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz [assistant to the president and special representative for international negotiations]. This team truly moved mountains and did what everyone said was impossible.”\nQ: Did you ever think you’d personally have the opportunity to work with a sitting president and fight against anti-Semitism on such a large scale?\n“I was tapped for the position and when I was approached, I felt instantly that it’s truly an honor and a privilege. This was the honor and privilege of a lifetime — to serve under this administration and to have the opportunity to give back to the country that gave me refuge as a child.”\nQ: How did your childhood upbringing help you succeed in this role?\n“I was born in Iran and, as a young child, we saw the Islamic Revolution of 1979 unfold before us. The Persian Jews are one of the most ancient Jewish communities in the world, dating back to the story of Purim with Queen Esther. You’re talking about one of the most ancient peoples in the world.\n“In 1979, you had this radical Islamic regime come in and take control. My family and the majority of Jews felt we were at risk and under threat, and we fled our ancient home. That personal history has given me a perspective that’s been with me since my childhood in the sense that I understood that anti-Semitism is a threat you can never underestimate.\n“Societies can flip overnight. Iran, under the Shah prior to 1979, was a very hospitable place for the Jews. There were formal relationships between Iran and Israel. This was a country that was looked upon as a golden beacon of the Middle East. I understand that we have to be committed to fighting and combating hatred against Jews and understand that in many parts of the world today there are Jewish populations that find themselves in a vulnerable place.”\nQ: What is your greatest achievement as part of this administration?\n“My personal greatest achievements have been to negotiate and close two MOUs with the Arab world. The first was with Bahrain’s King Hamad Global Centre for Peaceful Coexistence in October. The second was last week’s signing with Association Mimouna. For someone who is from the Middle East, there is no greater accomplishment than to help. In some way, this is a rectification of history because most of the individuals in the Middle East and North Africa carry in them a desire for peace and a better world. We’ve come together to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. We’re building a better future that all children deserve.”\nQ: The work of the Special Envoy has been so impactful that it’s been elevated to an ambassador level. What does that mean to you?\n“It’s a very important move because what we are seeing is — what the statistics show — is anti-Semitism is rising, unfortunately. The position that the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism has to serve as the voice of the United States of America and bring the power of the United States in combating anti-Semitism is a deeply important mission. We know there’s a lot of work to be done. Elevating this position to an ambassadorship is the right thing to do.”\nQ: What advice do you have for the upcoming administration of Joe Biden to fight against anti-Semitism?\n“The first piece of advice I would give the Biden administration is starting with the Middle East and North Africa. The Trump administration is leaving the region as a changed region. It’s a new paradigm, where you’re seeing Muslims and Jews as friendly neighbors with warm relations, diplomatic ties and business ties.\n“The Biden administration would be well-served to continue on that effort of the Abraham Accords and to create more peace deals and normalization between the Arab countries and the Jewish State of Israel. What we have observed already is that with the normalization of ties with Israel comes a correlating decrease of anti-Semitism in the region.\n“Understanding that so much of the hatred against Jews is fueled from the hatred in the Middle East, it’s really one of the key ways the Biden administration can advance the fight against anti-Semitism. Continue our efforts and successes in creating peace in the Middle East.\n“The second piece of advice is that the issue of anti-Semitism should not be politicized. There are too many voices that are only concerned when there is an anti-Semitism incident or attack. They focus on where on the political spectrum does the perpetrator fall. Then, they turn this fact into a political football. This leaves Jews more vulnerable. Anti-Semitism should not be politicized. Let’s focus on policies that will work and will combat anti-Semitism no matter the politics.”\nQ: Over the past few years, people call President Trump an anti-Semite, a Nazi and even compare him to Hitler. How hateful is that for you to hear and see personally based on your position?\n“I can tell you that President Trump is going to go down in history as the most philo-Semitic U.S. president.\n“The reason why is the policies that he set and the historic moves the president made, those facts speak for themselves. Whether it is the president recognizing that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights as being under Israeli sovereignty, the understanding that the settlements in the West Bank are not against international law, stepping up against the United Nations and their incredible bias against Israel, these are the steps that President Trump took.\n“He also issued an executive order combating anti-Semitism in December 2019. What kind of anti-Semite would do that? This offers Title VI protection to American Jews.

Israel’s Ministry of Tourism expresses cautious optimism tourists will return in spring
| null | null |
worldisraelnews.com

About 850,000 tourists entered Israel until March 2020, a decrease of 81.3% compared to 2019.
By TPS
It started as a year of optimism for tourism to Israel. Tourism had enjoyed record highs in recent years. But it descended into closed airports and a pandemic.
About 850,000 tourists entered Israel until March 2020, a decrease of 81.3% compared to 2019.
The tourism industry, which enjoyed revenues of about NIS 23 billion in 2019, was the among the hardest by the corona crisis. Nearly 200,000 families employed in tourism lost their livelihood.
The Israel Ministry of Tourism, which is responsible for the industry that serves as an engine of growth for the economy, spearheaded a series of moves aimed at preserving the tourist infrastructure to prepare and be ready for the day after the pandemic.
As the pace of the vaccination campaign in Israel leads the world, the Israel Ministry of Tourism has prepared a work plan for bringing back tourists in the spring of 2021.
The plan includes adaptation to the corona era in all areas covered by the ministry’s activities, including marketing, infrastructure and the tourist experience.
Ministry of Tourism Director-General Amir Halevi said that 2020 “continued the tourism records of the previous two years and there was an expectation that we would welcome, for the first time in the history of the country, the five millionth tourist. Instead, the world stopped, and we moved into survival mode.”
“Thanks to the vaccines, we are beginning to see the light of day, we are preparing tailored work plans and various tools for bringing back incoming tourism. We hope that in the coming months we will once again witness incoming tourism traffic, which is critical to employment and an important engine in the Israeli economy,” he said.
With the recent signing of the Abraham Accords, the ministry has developed a strategy to promote incoming tourism from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

Incoming US National Security Adviser Sullivan says Soleimani execution did not make America safer
| null | null |
worldisraelnews.com

“In fact, Iran continues to act in ways that are at odds with the interests of the United States and its allies,” he added.
By Algemeiner Staff
Incoming US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that the execution of Iranian terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani did not make America safer or protect U.S. interests.
Soleimani, leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Quds Force, was the architect of Iran’s strategy for regional domination via terrorist proxies and military involvement in the Syrian civil war. He was killed on Jan. 3, 2020 in a U.S drone strike.
The IRGC has been listed as a terror organization by the U.S.
Speaking to host Fareed Zakaria, Sullivan was asked about an opinion piece he wrote following Soleimani’s death that predicted a massive Iranian retaliation. Zakaria asked if he would acknowledge that this does not appear to have occurred.
Sullivan answered that, as President-elect Joe Biden has also said of Soleimani, “No American would mourn his passing.”
However, he asked, “Did that action make America safer? Did it protect our national interests? And I submit to you one year later, the answer to that question is no.”
“Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon today than they were one year ago,” he asserted. “Iran has been emboldened to continue its attacks on shipping and oil infrastructure in the Gulf. We did see proxies of Iran attack American interests in Iraq over the course of the past year, and that remains a continuing, ongoing concern.”
“So, all of the promises that we got from this administration about how their policy was going to get us a better deal on the nuclear front, was going to stop Iran’s malign behavior across the region, those promises did not bear out,” Sullivan continued.
“In fact, Iran continues to act in ways that are at odds with the interests of the United States and its allies,” he added. “And nothing about the action that was taken one year ago today set that back.”
Sullivan also addressed the possibility that a new nuclear deal with Iran will tackle the issue of its ballistic missile capabilities, something of particular concern to Israel.
“Our view is that Iran’s ballistic missile program has to be on the table,” he said.

Nikki Haley: Biden foreign policy will be to left of Obama

Former US ambassador to the UN calls on Republican Party to put differences behind them and rebuild to face Biden challenges.
By Paul Shindman, World Israel News
Former U.S. ambassador to the UN and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley warned Republicans Saturday to end the splits in the party and get their act together to build on the strong points of the Trump administration in facing an expected hard swing to the left under president-elect Joe Biden.
“There’s nothing the Democrat Party would love more than to see the Republican Party further divided,” Haley said in a Fox News interview, calling the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building “an embarrassment to the world. I think it was a sad day for America and I think that we really have to recover.”
Haley warned that Biden’s picks of former advisors to President Barak Obama would send U.S. foreign policy backwards.
“When you look at his picks for cabinet and otherwise from John Kerry to Susan Rice, you don’t have to be that much of a historian to see where this is going,” Haley said. “I think this is going to be to the left of Obama… Biden is going to play out the game for himself. He and the Democratic Party, they believe in more government.”
Furthermore, “Don’t turn your back on the successes that President Trump and the Republicans made over those four years,” Haley said. “The policies were right, they were good,” including “some real wins” on economic and foreign policy as well as getting many “quality” Republican women elected in November.
In order to face the challenges Biden was posing, Haley called on members of her party to end the infighting that has plagued the Republicans over Trump’s election loss.
“I think we need to hold on to our wallets and I think we need to stop with all the fingerpointing and the ‘he said, she said’ and we’ve got to get to work. This is gonna hurt and we really need to be focused on where we’re gonna go from here,” Haley said.
“The Democrats are gonna dig their own hole, but what we have to do is not just say no, we have to talk about we are for.”
“President Trump brought in a lot of people that had not been seen, not been heard and not been understood. We need to keep them,” Haley said, but admitted that “we lost a lot of people in the suburbs, we lost a lot of women [supporters]. We’ve got to grow the tent back and we’ve got to do this – we can’t wait three, four years to do this – we need to do this before the 2022 [mid-term] elections.”
Haley is widely believed to be building the groundwork for a possible 2024 run for the White House. She is supporting Republican candidates in their election campaigns while building her own brand within the party.

Germany's 'shameful' two years on the UN Security Council

The record shows that during its stint on the UN Security Council, Germany voted for dozens of resolutions — many of which smack of anti-Semitism — that singled out Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.

Germany’s two-year term as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council ended on December 31, 2020. The German Foreign Ministry, in a self-congratulatory compilation of its supposed achievements to “strengthen the international order,” declared that Germany now deserves to obtain a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
A closer examination of Germany’s voting patterns at the UN over the past several years, however, reveals a troubling double standard on a range of issues, especially on human rights, which the German government claims to be “a cornerstone” of its foreign policy.
The record shows that during its stint on the UN Security Council, Germany voted for dozens of resolutions — many of which smack of anti-Semitism — that singled out Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.
The anti-Israel resolutions supported by Germany were sponsored by mostly non-democratic Muslim countries including Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen, as well as by dictatorships such as Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela — and by Thailand on behalf of China.
Moreover, Germany remained silent as multiple serial human rights abusers, including China, Cuba, Libya, Mauritania, Pakistan, Russia, Somalia and Venezuela, among others, were elected to the UN Human Rights Council, the UN’s highest human rights body.
Germany also voted for resolutions condemning the United States, which guarantees not only German but European security, stability and prosperity.
In 2020, Germany voted 13 times to condemn Israel, but failed to introduce a single resolution on the human rights situation in China, Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Venezuela — or on 175 other countries, according to UN Watch, a Geneva-based, independent non-governmental watchdog group.
One of the resolutions approved by Germany referred to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of Haram al-Sharif. The executive director of UN Watch, Hillel Neuer, said:
“The UN today showed contempt for both Judaism and Christianity by passing a resolution that makes no mention of the name Temple Mount, which is Judaism’s holiest site, and which is sacred to all who venerate the Bible, in which the ancient Temple was of central importance.”
In a press release, UN Watch added:
“While nearly all EU countries backed 13 out of 17 UNGA resolutions singling out Israel this year, they failed to introduce even one resolution for women’s right [sic] activists jailed and tortured in Saudi Arabia, dissident artists arrested in Cuba, journalists thrown behind bars in Turkey, religious minorities attacked in Pakistan, and opposition members persecuted in Venezuela, where more than five million people have fled government repression, hunger and economic collapse.”
In 2019, Germany voted 15 times to condemn Israel, but introduced zero condemnations of human rights abusers such as China, Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Venezuela, according to UN Watch. One of the texts approved by Germany portray Israel as “occupying” the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem and the holiest sites of Judaism.
On November 15 — on just one day — Germany voted for seven anti-Israel resolutions and abstained but did not reject another. There were no condemnations of any other country in the rest of the world on that day.
The texts condemned Israel for “repressive measures” against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights, renewed the mandate of the corrupt UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), and renewed the mandate of a UN special committee to investigate “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people.” None of the resolutions mentioned Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Neuer, provided context:
“The UN’s assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions is surreal. Days after the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group assaulted Israeli civilians with a barrage of 200 rockets — while the UN’s General Assembly and Human Rights Council stayed silent — the world body now adds insult to injury by adopting eight lopsided condemnations, whose only purpose is to demonize the Jewish state. “While France, Germany, Sweden and other EU states are expected to support 15 out of a total of 20 resolutions to be adopted against Israel by December, the same European nations have failed to introduce a single UNGA resolution on the human rights situation in China, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Cuba, Turkey, Pakistan, Vietnam, Algeria, or on 175 other countries. “Four of today’s resolutions concern UNRWA — yet none mentions that the agency chief was just fired after top management engaged in what the UN’s own internal probe described as ‘sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority, for personal gain.’ All EU states are complicit in this conspiracy of silence. “One of today’s resolutions — drafted and co-sponsored by Syria — falsely condemns Israel for ‘repressive measures’ against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights. It’s obscene. The resolution condemns Israel for holding on to the Golan Heights, and demands Israel hand the land and its people to Syria. “It’s astonishing. After the Syrian regime has killed half a million of its own people, how can the UN call for more people to be handed over to Assad’s rule? The text is morally galling, and logically absurd. “Today’s resolutions claim to care about Palestinians, yet the UN is oblivious to more than 3,000 Palestinians who have been slaughtered, maimed and expelled by Assad’s forces. “Today’s farce at the General Assembly underscores a simple fact: the UN’s automatic majority has no interest in truly helping Palestinians, nor in protecting anyone’s human rights; the goal of these ritual, one-sided condemnations is to scapegoat Israel. “The UN’s disproportionate assault against the Jewish state undermines the institutional credibility of what is supposed to be an impartial international body. Politicization and selectivity harm its founding mission, eroding the UN Charter’s promise of equal treatment to all nations large and small.”
The vote came after German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tweeted his supposedly unwavering support for Israel:
“FM @HeikoMaas on 70th anniversary of Israel’s admission to the UN: We would like to reiterate once again today that Germany stands, also in the UN, shoulder to shoulder with Israel, whose security and right to exist must never be called into question by anyone anywhere.”
Germany pursued a similar policy of approving anti-Israel resolutions at the UN in 2018, 2017 and 2016, when Germany voted for an especially disgraceful UN resolution, co-sponsored by the Arab group of states and the Palestinian delegation, that singled out Israel as the world’s only violator of “mental, physical and environmental health.”
Germany’s anti-Israel voting record at the UN appears to have broad support among the German political establishment. In March 2019, the German Bundestag overwhelmingly opposed a resolution by the Free Democratic Party (FDP) to urge Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government to reverse its anti-Israel voting record at the United Nations.
By a vote of 408 to 155 with 65 abstentions, the Bundestag rejected the FPD’s call for the government to “clearly distance itself from unilateral, primarily politically motivated initiatives and alliances of anti-Israeli UN member states and to protect Israel and Israel’s legitimate interests from unilateral condemnation.”
Germany’s anti-Israel crusade has been led by German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who claims that he entered politics because of Auschwitz, the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps. At his inauguration as foreign minister, he said:
“For me, German-Israeli history does not only entail a historic responsibility. For me personally, it is a deep motivation of my political activity. With all due respect, I did not enter politics because of [former chancellor] Willy Brandt. I also didn’t go into politics because of the peace movement or ecological issues. I entered politics because of Auschwitz. And that’s also why this part of our work is especially important to me.”
Maas had been aided and abetted by Germany’s Ambassador to the UN, Christoph Heusgen, who was named by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in 2019 as one of the world’s top 10 anti-Semites.
Germany’s largest-circulation newspaper Bild, asked, “Why does Germany repeatedly vote against Israel at the United Nations?” It answered:
“It is a shameful ritual: every year authoritarian states like Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia introduce numerous resolutions at the UN that are directed against one country — Israel. But the bitter thing is: The UN General Assembly is taking part and adopting almost all anti-Israeli resolutions. “The Federal Republic also mostly votes FOR the resolutions — and thus AGAINST Israel. And this despite the fact that the federal government repeatedly emphasizes that it is on the side of Israel. “Heusgen is considered a bitter critic of Israeli settlement policy — a legitimate position which, in Heusgen’s case, seems to lead to complete lack of criticism towards the Palestinians, and to comparisons that cast doubt on his moral compass. “Heusgen caused a scandal in March 2019 when he equated the rockets of the Islamist terrorist group Hamas with Israeli bulldozers, with which Israel tore down Palestinian and Israeli illegal houses. He did so in the very week that Hamas carried out massive rocket attacks on Israel and injured seven Israeli civilians. “No criticism of anti-Semitic statements by Palestinian politicians, no criticism of pension payments for Palestinian terrorists — for Heusgen, the guilty parties for the messed-up situation are solely in Washington and Jerusalem.”
The left-wing politician, Volker Beck, said about Heusgen:
“I am always careful with the label ‘anti-Semite.’ But one thing is certain: Anyone who bears responsibility for Germany’s condemnation of Israel tens of times more often than all rogue states in the world at the United Nations applies double standards to the Jewish and democratic state and thus participates in an anti-Semitic campaign. With practical politics, Heusgen counteracts the unambiguous statements of the Chancellor to Israel’s existence and security.”
Frankfurt Mayor Uwe Becker added:
“The inclusion of Mr. Heusgen on the Wiesenthal Center’s list is more than a yellow card for Germany’s voting behavior at the United Nations. Germany must show more solidarity with Israel at the UN and consistently refuse anti-Israeli resolutions in future. “The years of theater of political smear against Israel can only be countered with a consequent ‘NO.’ The comparison made by Heusgen between the actions of Israel and the terrorism of Hamas has damaged solidarity with Israel and is unfortunately suitable for promoting Israel-related anti-Semitism. Germany must not also be the keyword for Israel-related anti-Semitism.”
In its most recent statement, the German Foreign Ministry declared:
“Germany wants to continue playing its part in preserving global peace — as a permanent member of the Security Council. ‘We have shown over the past two years that we are capable of filling a seat on the UN Security Council in the long term,’ said Foreign Minister Heiko Maas. ‘We therefore want not only to stand for a non-permanent seat again in eight years’ time, but also seek to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council before that date.'”
In a sign that German appeasement has failed to achieve its objectives, Russia and China have both questioned Germany’s suitability for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Russian Vice Ambassador Dmitri Polyansky bluntly said: “We will not miss you.” The Chinese representative Yao Shaojun added that the German path to permanent membership “will be difficult.”
Heusgen, who plans to retire after more than 40 years as a German diplomat, appealed to China to free two detained Canadians for Christmas:
“Let me end my tenure on the Security Council by appealing to my Chinese colleagues to ask Beijing for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Christmas is the right moment for such a gesture.”
China’s deputy UN Ambassador, Geng Shuang, accused Heusgen of abusing the Security Council to launch “malicious” attacks on other members “in an attempt to poison the working atmosphere.” He added: “I wish to say something out of the bottom of my heart: Good riddance.”

Israeli jets over Syria endure barrage of hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles

The Syrians have shot over 200 anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli jets on their missions, according to the report.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
Israeli pilots contend with hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles and ground-to-air fire as they strike at Iranian forces in Syria, a Monday report reveals.
Israel’s Kan public broadcasting released rare recordings of pilots hitting targets in Syria during one of the many attacks that Israel has carried out in the last year over its northern border to deter Iran and its proxies from gaining a foothold in the country.
“We’re at Ready. Good speed. No messages…. You have permission to fire at the target,” the commander says in one recording.
“Roger. Firing one. Firing two,” comes the response, as the video shows an explosion on the ground below.
In another recording, the pilot says over his radio, “Execution according to plan. Each one on his own board mission.”
“Good height, everyone’s clean. TV. Last drops to ‘Batman’ … Batman, everyone stay alert.”
The command to stay alert is necessary. The Syrians have shot over 200 anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli jets on their missions, according to the report. Col. Y, commander of the Ramon Airbase told Kan News that the IAF lost an F-16I plane to such missile fire about three years ago.
“We’ve experienced massive ground-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft fire for a long time already,” he said, “so we invest an enormous amount in our preparations. We’re very careful that it will be at the right time, in the right place, with the right flight path, right height. There are a lot of parameters that we take into consideration.”
“Whoever says that [when a missile is fired at him] it doesn’t tense him up and doesn’t scare him is saying something wrong in my humble opinion,” he said.
“When we look outside, when fire is directed at the sky, we give it full respect,” he added. “On the other hand, I can tell you that you plan the mission in such a way that you can carry it out also if missiles are shot in the sky. You’re always ready for surprises… You have to know how to react very quickly.”
According to foreign press reports, Israel has hit Syria five times in the last three weeks alone, with an especially effective one killing dozens of Iran-backed militia and destroying weapons facilities on the Iraqi border. Calling it “the most intense of its kind on Syrian territory,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added in that specific case “no response or attempt to confront the Israeli bombing was monitored by the [Syrian] regime’s air defenses.”
While often staying mum on such attacks, Jerusalem has admitted to thousands of strikes in Syria over the last several years against Iranian or their proxies’ military outposts, ammunition storage and rocket production sites, and the like.
On Monday, a photographer from Hezbollah’s Al Manar television station in Lebanon tweeted pictures of what seemed to be an F-35I stealth fighter, the IAF’s most advanced airplane, high in the sky over his country.

Although the photographer misidentified it in his post as one of “six F-15s flying over Lebanon for hours,” Israel uses the fifth-generation F-35I for reconnaissance and combat missions.

Trump banned from NYC as de Blasio terminates all contracts

The mayor said on Wednesday that the city is canceling all contracts with the Trump Organization.
By David Isaac, World Israel News
There’s little love lost between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and President Donald Trump, who threatened to defund the city back in September for becoming a “lawless zone” and “anarchist jurisdiction” as Black Lives Matter protesters rampaged through the streets unchecked. Now it’s payback time for de Blasio.
The mayor said on Wednesday that the city is canceling all contracts with the Trump Organization, blaming the president for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“The President incited a rebellion against the United States government that killed five people and threatened to derail the constitutional transfer of power,” de Blasio said in a statement, in depiction of events Trump rejects.
“The City of New York will not be associated with those unforgivable acts in any shape, way or form, and we are immediately taking steps to terminate all Trump Organization contracts,” he added.
De Blasio used what might be considered overheated rhetoric as he likened the Trump Organization to the Italian mob.
“We are not going to do business with a criminal organization,” de Blasio said. “If I said to you, ‘Should we do business with the mafia,’ you’d say ‘No.’ Unfortunately at this point, the Trump Organization is just another organized crime organization.”
Eric Trump, 37, the president’s second son, said the city “has no legal right to end our contracts,” and called the move “political discrimination,” the Daily News reports. Eric, together with Donald Jr., have been running Trump’s business empire while he is president. Eric said the City will owe the Trump Organization $30 million if it proceeds.
The Trump Organization has several contracts with the City, including a carousel at Central Park and two ice rinks, which are the most lucrative contract, bringing in $9.4 million.
CNN reports that the contracts can be terminated by the city “at will,” and therefore de Blasio has the legal leverage to carry out his promise.
New York City is only the latest entity to break ties with Trump after the Capitol riots. The PGA of America pulled its 2022 championship from the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey in an announcement on Thursday.
Two banks that worked with Trump, Deutsche Bank and Signature Bank, say they will no longer do so. Shopify, which ran Trump’s online stories, has also joined what could be termed ‘the ban-wagon’.
Trump’s family, recognizing New York City has become too hostile to call home, are pulling up roots.
The latest to depart is Donald Jr., 43, and his girlfriend, former co-host of Fox News’ The Five, Kimberly Guilfoyle, 51. They are abandoning New York City for Florida, the New York Post reports on Wednesday. They join Jared Kushner, 40, and Ivanka Trump, 39, the president’s second child, who have already moved there from the City.
“There is no way they can stay in New York. They’d be tortured in the streets,” a source close to the family told the Post of Donald Jr. and Guilfoyle.

"The mayor said on Wednesday that the city is canceling all contracts with the Trump Organization.\nBy David Isaac, World Israel News\nThere’s little love lost between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and President Donald Trump, who threatened to defund the city back in September for becoming a “lawless zone” and “anarchist jurisdiction” as Black Lives Matter protesters rampaged through the streets unchecked. Now it’s payback time for de Blasio.\nThe mayor said on Wednesday that the city is canceling all contracts with the Trump Organization, blaming the president for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.\n“The President incited a rebellion against the United States government that killed five people and threatened to derail the constitutional transfer of power,” de Blasio said in a statement, in depiction of events Trump rejects.\n“The City of New York will not be associated with those unforgivable acts in any shape, way or form, and we are immediately taking steps to terminate all Trump Organization contracts,” he added.\nDe Blasio used what might be considered overheated rhetoric as he likened the Trump Organization to the Italian mob.\n“We are not going to do business with a criminal organization,” de Blasio said. “If I said to you, ‘Should we do business with the mafia,’ you’d say ‘No.’ Unfortunately at this point, the Trump Organization is just another organized crime organization.”\nEric Trump, 37, the president’s second son, said the city “has no legal right to end our contracts,” and called the move “political discrimination,” the Daily News reports.

“It is our collective obligation to safeguard this treasured yet vulnerable population in the spirit of mutual responsibility.”
By Erin Ben-Moche, Jewish Journal via JNS
Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Omer Yankelevich announced on Tuesday the launch of an extensive operation to vaccinate Holocaust survivors around the world against Covid-19.
The Israeli Cabinet minister directed Shalom Corps, the international youth service nonprofit, to convene and coordinate partners around this effort. This project will ensure that all Holocaust survivors around the world are vaccinated and provided proper guidance and support.
The initial plan is to establish inoculation centers in designated countries, according to a statement from the ministry. Medical personnel and volunteers will travel directly to the residence of recipients to perform the vaccination. There will be no charge to any survivor for this service.
“During this global crisis, we have an opportunity to support Holocaust survivors whose resilience continues to guide and inspire humanity today,” said Yankelevich. “It is our collective obligation to safeguard this treasured yet vulnerable population in the spirit of mutual responsibility.”
Yankelevich, an attorney, educator, social activist and politician for the Blue and White Party, has been a member of the Knesset since 2019. She made history as the first haredi woman to serve as a cabinet minister. This past November, she visited Los Angeles for a 72-hour trip for meetings on college campuses, including the University of Southern California, and with officials from the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
She told Jewish Insider following the trip that she wanted to create a “global Jewish education hub” for Jews around the world who have been impacted by COVID-19.
As of now, there is no definite plan to finance and manage the vaccination project, including the involvement of Jewish philanthropic networks. Solutions for other expected hurdles, such as obtaining permits from foreign governments and the purchase of vaccines by the ministry, are also being examined. The statement also notes that vaccines for this initiative will be acquired separately and in addition to Israel’s current supply.
There are approximately 190,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel and 130,000 more around the world. The Israeli Health Ministry told Reuters on Jan. 10 that 19.5 percent of the Israeli population has been vaccinated, “including more than 72 percent of the over-60s.”
The Holocaust Survivors Vaccination Operation will be administered through Shalom Corps and will operate globally. Shalom Corps is active in several fields including education, agriculture, teen leadership development, health and female empowerment. Founded as a joint initiative of the Diaspora Affairs Ministry, the Jewish Agency and private donors, Shalom Corps reaches thousands of Jewish volunteers worldwide.
While Yankelevich hasn’t been able to meet with members of the Jewish Diaspora due to the pandemic, she is hoping she can partner with Jewish institutions from every city internationally to provide aid to Holocaust survivors in each community.
“Now is the time for all of us, Jewish institutions and leaders from across the world, to come together in this operation,” she said. “Together, we can ensure that Holocaust survivors are efficiently vaccinated, wherever they live.”

Former teacher Malka Leifer stands accused of sexually abusing students in Melbourne and had been fighting extradition from Israel since 2014.
By Associated Press
Israeli authorities on Monday extradited a woman wanted on 74 charges of child sex abuse in Australia following a six-year legal battle that strained relations between the two governments, her attorney confirmed.
Malka Leifer, a former teacher accused of sexually abusing several former students at a Jewish school in Melbourne, had been fighting extradition from Israel since 2014. Leifer maintains her innocence and the six-year legal battle surrounding her extradition has strained relations between Israel and Australia.
Israeli media photographed Leifer boarding a plane at Ben Gurion Airport early Monday. In December, the Supreme Court rejected a final appeal against her extradition, and Israel’s justice minister signed the order to send her to Australia.
Leifer faces 74 charges of child sex abuse that she allegedly committed while teaching in Melbourne.
As accusations against her began surfacing in 2008, Israeli-born Leifer left the school and returned to Israel, where she has lived since.
Critics, including Leifer’s alleged victims, had accused Israeli authorities of dragging out the case for far too long, while Leifer claimed she was mentally unfit to stand trial.
Last year, an Israeli psychiatric panel determined Leifer was lying about her mental condition, setting in motion the extradition.

Second Intifada was Yasser Arafat's biggest mistake, says widow of terror mastermind

If the Palestinians had won, it appears her reaction would have been different.
By World Israel News Staff
Yasser Arafat, known as the “Father of Modern Terror,” made a mistake in starting the Second Intifada, according to his widow Suha. She made the surprise statement in a post to her Instagram account in Arabic on Jan. 1.
Suha Arafat doesn’t seem to regret the decision because it cost the lives of 1,000 Israelis, mainly civilians, but because the Palestinian were outmatched. If the Palestinians had won, it appears her reaction would have been different.
“The [intifada] was wrong, because we lost a lot, and our war with them [Israel] was unequal,” she said of the conflict, which lasted from 2000 to 2005. Palestinian fatalities numbered 3,200.
Suha also indirectly reiterated comments she made to Dubai TV in 2012, in which she confirmed the Israeli version of events, in which Arafat planned the Second Intifada aforethought and holds responsibility for the bloody uprising.
The Palestinian narrative had maintained that the Second Intifada was caused by a visit to the Temple Mount by soon-to-be Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Sept. 2000.
Suha told Dubai TV on Dec. 16, 2012: “Immediately after the failure of the Camp David [negotiations], I met him in Paris upon his return… Camp David had failed, and he said to me, ‘You should remain in Paris.’ I asked him why, and he said, ‘Because I am going to start an Intifada. They want me to betray the Palestinian cause. They want me to give up on our principles, and I will not do so.’”
Arafat’s widow also said that she doesn’t blame Israel for killing her husband, who died in 2004. “Until now I don’t have evidence against anyone,” Arafat said.
“I cannot accuse anyone of killing him, even Israel, because I do not have any evidence, and I also do not have evidence against anyone so far, and I do not want the accusations to be thrown into internal Palestinian malicious political battles without conclusive evidence,” she said.

Hack of federal agencies 'likely Russian in origin'
| null | null |

The agencies made clear the Russian operation was “ongoing” and indicated the hunt for threats was not over.
By Associated Press
Top national security agencies confirmed Tuesday that Russia was likely responsible for a massive hack of U.S. government departments and corporations, rejecting President Donald Trump’s theory that China might be to blame.
The rare joint statement represented the U.S. government’s first formal attempt to assign responsibility for the breaches at multiple agencies and to assign a possible motive for the operation. It said the hacks appeared to be intended for “intelligence gathering,” suggesting the evidence so far pointed to a Russian spying effort rather than an attempt to damage or disrupt U.S. government operations.
The agencies made clear the Russian operation was “ongoing” and indicated the hunt for threats was not over.
“This is a serious compromise that will require a sustained and dedicated effort to remediate,” said the statement, distributed by the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
It was not clear why the statement was issued Tuesday, especially since government officials and cybersecurity experts have for weeks believed that Russia was responsible. Even so, the announcement puts the imprimatur of national security agencies, albeit belatedly, on information that members of Congress had clamored for the White House to make public.
The Associated Press reported last month that officials at the White House had been prepared to issue a statement that accused Russia of being the main actor in the hack but were told at the last minute to stand down. The day of that report, Dec. 19, Trump tweeted that the “Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality” and suggested without citing evidence that China could be to blame.
Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, lamented the belated statement, saying “it’s unfortunate that it has taken over three weeks after the revelation of an intrusion this significant for this Administration to finally issue a tentative attribution.”
He said he hoped “that we will begin to see something more definitive” as well as a warning to Russia, which has denied involvement in the hack.
With the public finger-pointing taking place in the final two weeks of the Trump administration, it will almost certainly fall to incoming President Joe Biden to decide how to respond to a hacking campaign that amounts to Washington’s worst cyberespionage failure to date.
Biden has said his administration will impose “substantial costs” on countries responsible for U.S. government hacks, but it is unclear whether the response in this case will involve sanctions, prosecution, offensive cyber operations or some combination of those options.
The hacking campaign was extraordinary in scale, with the intruders having stalked through government agencies, defense contractors and telecommunications companies for months by the time it was discovered. Experts say that gave the foreign agents ample time to collect data that could be highly damaging to U.S. national security, though the scope of the breaches and exactly what information was sought is unknown.
An estimated 18,000 organizations were affected by malicious code that piggybacked on popular network-management software from an Austin, Texas, company called SolarWinds. Of those customers, though, “a much smaller number has been compromised by follow-on activity on their systems,” the statement said, noting that fewer than 10 federal government agencies have so far been identified as falling into that category.
The Treasury and Commerce departments are among the agencies known to have been affected. Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, said after a briefing last month provided to Senate Finance Committee staff that dozens of Treasury Department email accounts were compromised and that hackers had broken into systems used by the department’s highest-ranking officials.
A senior executive of the cybersecurity firm that discovered the malware, FireEye, said last month that “dozens of incredibly high-value targets” have been infiltrated by elite, state-backed hackers. The executive, Charles Carmakal, would not name the targets. Nor has Microsoft, which said it identified more than 40 compromised government and private targets, most in the U.S.
Microsoft said in a blog post last week that hackers tied to the intrusions of government agencies and companies sneaked further into its systems than previously thought and were able to view some of the code underlying Microsoft software, but weren’t able to make any changes to it.
The extent of affected targets remains undisclosed.
“I think it’s highly unlikely at this stage of the investigation they can actually be certain that there are only 10 agencies impacted,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, former chief technical officer of the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
Ben Buchanan, a Georgetown University cyberespionage expert, said the fact that multiple investigating agencies are now attributing the hacking campaign to Russia “removes any remaining serious doubts about the perpetrators.”
As for the number of federal agencies compromised, he said it’s difficult to know “from the outside how they’ve evaluated this.” While such assessments are difficult, Buchanan said, he believes the government must have evidence for the claim given the joint nature of the statement.
U.S. officials, including then-Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and cybersecurity experts have in recent weeks said that Russia was to blame. But Trump, who throughout his term has resisted blaming Moscow for cyber operations, broke from the consensus within his own administration by tweeting that the media was afraid of “discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).”
Tuesday’s statement says the U.S. investigation reveals that a cyber actor, “likely Russian in origin, is responsible for most or all of the recently discovered, ongoing cyber compromises of both government and non-governmental networks.”
“At this time, we believe this was, and continues to be, an intelligence gathering effort. We are taking all necessary steps to understand the full scope of this campaign and respond accordingly,” the statement said.

Nor has Microsoft, which said it identified more than 40 compromised government and private targets, most in the U.S.\nMicrosoft said in a blog post last week that hackers tied to the intrusions of government agencies and companies sneaked further into its systems than previously thought and were able to view some of the code underlying Microsoft software, but weren’t able to make any changes to it.\nThe extent of affected targets remains undisclosed.\n“I think it’s highly unlikely at this stage of the investigation they can actually be certain that there are only 10 agencies impacted,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, former chief technical officer of the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.\nBen Buchanan, a Georgetown University cyberespionage expert, said the fact that multiple investigating agencies are now attributing the hacking campaign to Russia “removes any remaining serious doubts about the perpetrators.”\nAs for the number of federal agencies compromised, he said it’s difficult to know “from the outside how they’ve evaluated this.” While such assessments are difficult, Buchanan said, he believes the government must have evidence for the claim given the joint nature of the statement.\nU.S. officials, including then-Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and cybersecurity experts have in recent weeks said that Russia was to blame. But Trump, who throughout his term has resisted blaming Moscow for cyber operations, broke from the consensus within his own administration by tweeting that the media was afraid of “discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).”\nTuesday’s statement says the U.S. investigation reveals that a cyber actor, “likely Russian in origin, is responsible for most or all of the recently discovered, ongoing cyber compromises of both government and non-governmental networks.”\n“At this time, we believe this was, and continues to be, an intelligence gathering effort. We are taking all necessary steps to understand the full scope of this campaign and respond accordingly,” the statement said.",

Jerusalem Arabs drag their feet for vaccines as eastern parts of city see cases spike
The Arabs of eastern Jerusalem have so far ignored the educational efforts of Israeli health care and the Jerusalem municipality.
By David Isaac, World Israel News
Israeli Jews are rushing to get the vaccine wherever they can. The same can’t be said for Israeli-Arabs living in Jerusalem, who have been slow to show up to receive Pfizer’s corona vaccine, even as their neighborhoods show some of the highest rates of infection in the country.
Only 22% of those aged 60 and over in the eastern, heavily Arab, neighborhoods of the city have received their first vaccine shots, as opposed to 65%-to-70% for the Jewish population. While the average positive test rate in those neighborhoods hovers around 15%, the national average is about 7.5%, Israel Hayom reports on Wednesday.
It’s not for a lack of trying by Israel’s government, which has stressed the importance for Arab-Israelis receiving the vaccine if the country is to achieve herd immunity. The Arab percentage of Israel’s population is roughly 24%.
Stressing the need for Arab-Israelis to vaccinate, the millionth vaccine recipient was a resident of the Arab town of Um el-Fahm. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to celebrate the event on Jan. 2. He tweeted: “I was happy to visit Umm al-Fahm on the occasion of the millionth vaccine in Israel. The Arab sector joins Israel’s success story!”
The apathy among Jerusalem’s Arab population has led Jews in the city to go to the underused Clalit Health Fund buildings in the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah for vaccinations, as the health clinics in the Jewish neighborhoods are overcrowded, Israel Hayom reports.
Israel continues to make efforts to educate the Arab population. The Jerusalem Municipality is considering opening two more vaccine centers in the north and south of the city, mobile immunization units, which can be relocated within Arab neighborhoods to encourage the population to vaccinate.
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center tracks corona data in Gaza, Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem. It reports that the positive test numbers for eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods are: Kfar Akev (22.2%), Beit Hanina (18.3%), Shuafat (17.6%), Abu Tor (16%).
However, in the Tzur Ba’ar and Silwan neighborhoods of Jerusalem the rates resemble the national average.
The death toll in eastern Jerusalem from Covid-19 since the epidemic began is 150, Israel Hayom reports.

Israel's Health Minister: We're winning vaccination battle, but losing mutation war
| null | null |
worldisraelnews.com

Israel was in danger of “losing the war” against the more contagious new variant of Covid-19 first identified in the UK.
By David Isaac, World Israel News
Israel’s Health Minister threw some cold water on Israelis’ justified pride in the speed of the country’s vaccine rollout.
In a Monday tweet, Minister Yuli Edelstein said that Israel was in danger of “losing the war” against the more contagious new variant of Covid-19 first identified in the UK.
“We are winning the vaccine race, but unfortunately are losing the war against the mutation,” Edelstein tweeted. “The rise in the infection rate should worry every public official who needs to remember: our first concern is the public health.”
While Israel has vaccinated half of its most at-risk citizens and 10% of its population in two weeks, passing one million on Friday, the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise. The country reported 5,135 new cases on Sunday.
Israel is in the middle of a lockdown, but it’s been described as lockdown-lite and is not getting the results that were expected. Edelstein called for a tougher, tighter lockdown of two weeks on Sunday.
“We’re going through a very severe outbreak and are probably in a more dire situation than we were in at the beginning of September,” Edelstein said.
He was joined, surprisingly, by Israeli business associations, who have suffered the worst from the lockdowns but prefer a short, intensive lockdown over several less restrictive ones, which don’t seem to be effective.
However, there is disagreement in Israel over whether Israel needs a tighter lockdown than the one currently in place.
Israel’s Minister of Science and Technology Yizhar Shai told Israel’s public broadcaster on Monday that “Dozens of professors looked at the data and saw what I was saying – we are not in a breakout.”
“There are data that show that at the current rate, with a slight decrease in morbidity, we will reach the peak of morbidity at 8,000 verified cases and then we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. This will happen thanks to two things – the steps that started 8 days ago [lockdown’s start] whose effects we haven’t yet seen, and thanks to the vaccines,” Shai said.
“In the next two to three weeks, we will reach about two million people who have been vaccinated or who have had the disease, and at this stage the risk to populations at risk will be lower,” he said.

Most Americans feel the coronavirus pandemic is officially out of control, according to a new poll.
“The nationwide survey shows that large majorities of people of all political affiliations say they think the deadly virus, which arrived in the country nearly a year ago, is only somewhat under control or not at all controlled,” reads a statement from the Washington Post, which conducted the poll.

2,000 COVID-19 Vaccines Ruined After Someone Unplugged The Freezer
| null | null |
x96.com

Nearly 2,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were ruined after someone accidentally unplugged the freezer they were stored in.
Officials at Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center in Boston say the plug was “accidentally removed” by a contractor while cleaning, and an alarm meant to go off in such a situation failed.
Doses of Moderna vaccine must be stored at minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit and can only survive at room temperature for 12 hours.
Should any discipline be handed down over this mistake? How would you rate the overall vaccine distribution in the U.S. so far?

A three-year project to restore 10,000 miles of U.S. national park trails is officially done.
The work was a collaboration between the National Park Foundation and food company Nature Valley (which donated $3 million for the project).
Crews removed invasive species, cleared corridors, repaired structures, built boardwalks, and managed other repair projects to provide better access to visitors.
10,000 miles of national park trails just got a whole lot better https://t.co/DIWNq0yHCs — Lonely Planet (@lonelyplanet) January 22, 2021
The work involved trails across 19 parks in 16 states.

A Southern California man pleaded guilty Thursday to unsafely operating a drone that hit a Los Angeles police helicopter in September and forced it to make an emergency landing.
In a plea agreement, 22-year-old Andrew Hernandez acknowledged he launched the drone out of “curiosity” when he spotted the helicopter near his home.
The pilot tried to miss the drone, but it struck and damaged the chopper.

Kurt Cobain’s Favorite Beatle

Make a quick guess – who did Kurt Cobain list as his favorite Beatle? If you said John Lennon, give yourself a high-five.
The late Nirvana frontman was a huge Beatles fan and once told Rolling Stone that Lennon was “definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down”.
Why? Cobain related to Lennon’s struggle with celebrity, joking “Lennon was obviously disturbed… so I could relate to that.”
Are there any surprises about Kurt Cobain's favourite Beatle? https://t.co/7diUqwYUUv — Far Out Magazine (@FarOutMag) January 28, 2021
The Lennon classic “In My Life” was even played at Cobain’s funeral in 1994.

As many people quarantined in their homes at the end of 2020 many of them subscribed to Netflix to pass the time. The streaming giant added over 8.5 million subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Netflix now has over 200 million subscribers and Netflix Originals “The Crown,” “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Bridgerton” helped drive the success of the service.
83 percent of Netflix’s new customers came from other markets outside of the streaming services’ biggest markets of Canada and the United States.

Jan. 20th, 2021 is a historic day the likes of which we won’t see for centuries to come. No, we’re not talking about the inauguration. We’re talking about palindromes.
Today’s date – 1/20/2021 – is a palindrome, meaning it reads the same backward as forwards.
Wednesday's seven-digit palindrome is one of 26 such dates in the 21st century. https://t.co/0cy4uPV5Ym — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) January 20, 2021
A seven-digit palindrome date like this won’t happen again for 1,000 years – on Jan. 20th, 3021. But we’ll get an eight-digit palindrome on Dec. 2nd – 12/02/2021.
Why are palindromes so interesting to us? Is there any real significance to them?

Courtney Love’s “Great Shames:” An Album and an Ex

Courtney Love has probably had one of the most interesting stories in rock, but there are some things she actually feels shame about.
Love posted a photo to Instagram showing someone driving a car featuring the artwork from her debut solo album America’s Sweetheart.
Courtney Love claims ex fling Steve Coogan is 'one of life's great shames' along with 'crack' https://t.co/ikB3clyC8q — Daily Mail Celebrity (@DailyMailCeleb) January 5, 2021
Love’s caption along with the photo read, “Maybe one day I won’t hate that record,” Love wrote on Instagram. “It has some good songs. But like Steve Coogan or crack,
it’s one of my life’s great shames. Just the period, sloppiness, men, money, drugs, nightmare….”
Love had recently admitted she had a fling with actor Steve Coogan after she mistook him for someone else.
What are some cringey things that you are ashamed of? Did you like Courtney Love’s solo music?

Four Pizza Hut locations are trying something…different to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their Stuffed Crust pizza.
Pizza Hut restaurants in Dallas and Los Angeles are giving out free rings of stuffed crust!
Pizza Hut is giving out free rings of stuffed crust with $10 orders at these 4 locations — without a pizza base or any toppings https://t.co/qys1UDdawv — Business Insider (@businessinsider) January 5, 2021
Now until Thursday, the first 50 customers at these locations will get hooked up with some stuffed crust. No pizza or toppings included…just…the…crust.
Called “Nothing But the Stuffed Crust,” customers can get their free ring of cheesy dough with $10 orders.
No word on if this will eventually be available nationwide.

Bad News’ About Getting Vaccinated – X96

Steve Martin tweeted on Sunday about his experience with receiving a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
He said he has good news and bad news about the vaccine.
Good news/Bad news. Good news: I just got vaccinated! Bad news: I got it because I’m 75. Ha! The operation in NYC was smooth as silk (sorry about the cliché @BCDreyer!) and hosted to perfection by the US Army and National Guard. Thank you all, and thank you science. — Steve Martin (@SteveMartinToGo) January 17, 2021
The good news, he said, is that it was an easy and smooth process. He signed up online in New York and waited in line at the Javitts Center.
He said the bad news is he was able to get the vaccine because he is 75 years old.
Have you signed up yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine?

Gender Neutral Playing Cards See King Removed
| null | null |
x96.com

Have you ever thought about gender inequality while playing poker? Neither have I but Indy Mellink, a Dutch card fan, did and now her gender-neutral playing cards are making people think twice about the king, queen, and jack playing cards.
While playing cards the 23-year-old asked herself, “Why is a king worth more than a queen?” She pondered the questions and was encouraged by her father to make a change.
“If we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then this subtle inequality influences people in their daily life" https://t.co/NL0nGpwCi3 — Evening Standard (@standardnews) January 20, 2021
“If we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then this subtle inequality influences people in their daily life because it’s just another way of saying ‘hey, you’re less important,” says Mellink.
After a few trials and errors, Mellink designed a genderless deck which instead of featuring kings, queens, and jacks the decks had images of gold bars, silver coins, and a bronze shield.
What are your thoughts on genderless playing cards? Do you think the images of the king, queen, and jack play a role in how we view gender?

Has The Coronavirus ‘Winter Surge’ Peaked?

Finally, a bit of good news on the coronavirus front. Researchers believe the deadly ‘winter surge’ has peaked.
One Johns Hopkins official told NPR that “based on current trends, the worst appears to be over.”
Cases and hospitalizations in much of the country are trending downward, and researchers are hopeful that daily death tolls will soon follow.
Daily numbers of new coronavirus cases are finally starting to wane, researchers say, and hospitalizations are down slightly. But thousands of people are still being infected every day, and the virus could surge again.https://t.co/bBy1yjVMD0 — NPR (@NPR) January 21, 2021
However, we’re not out of the woods yet – especially with the newer, more contagious mutated version of the virus out there. Experts expect the decline to have a “long tail”.
Are you hopeful that the worst is indeed over? What will it take for you to truly believe the pandemic is no longer a threat?

The Justice League ‘Snyder Cut’ Finally Gets A Release Date
| null | null |
x96.com
|
The long-awaited ‘Snyder Cut’ of the Justice League movie finally has a release date. The film will debut on March 18th on HBO Max under the title Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
So what is the ‘Snyder Cut’? Zack Snyder was the original director of the 2017 Justice League movie but had to leave the film to deal with the death of his daughter. When the movie flopped, fans blamed replacement director Joss Whedon and have called for Snyder’s original version to be released ever since.
Warner Bros spent more than $70 million re-shooting scenes with the original cast – including Ben Affleck, Gal Godot, and Jared Leto.
How hyped are you for Zack Snyder’s Justice League? How different do you think it will be from the original movie? Would they have been better off just shooting a sequel instead?

Hank Aaron Dies At 86

Hall of Famer and longtime ‘Home Run King’ Hank Aaron has died at the age of 86.
Aaron is one of the greatest players in MLB history, breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1974 and hitting a record 755 homers during his 23-year MLB career. He still holds the all-time MLB record for RBIs and total bases and ranks third in hits.
Hank Aaron dies at 86. He used his Hall of Fame baseball career as a platform to champion civil rights. https://t.co/5F4dS6waxH — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) January 22, 2021
Aaron was also a key figure in the civil rights era and often received death threats from racist fans as he approached Babe Ruth’s record.
He remained a major presence in Atlanta and recently took the COVID-19 vaccine, hoping to set an example for the city’s black population.
Was Aaron the greatest MLB player ever? Will his RBI record ever be broken?

ROUND ONE
Boner Candidate #1: THIS IS HOW LEFTISTS CENSOR TALK…BY TELLING US HOW GREAT WE ARE
David DiPietro’s one-hour Saturday morning Conservative talk show will no longer be heard on WECK-AM in Buffalo. The New York State Assemblyman Went on a Facebook rant that “this is how leftists censor Conservative Talk.” That’s not really what happened. We reached out to the CEO of the company that owns WECK in Buffalo, Buddy Shula, who told us why he pulled the program. “Dave is a great guy and did zero wrong. He let me know his conservative platform right off the bat, and I was OK with that, but also was looking for the show to be a little more point, counterpoint. That really never came to fruition for whatever reason.

Boner Candidate #2: IF I WERE GEORGE I’D TELL THOSE WOMEN, ‘YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.’
CLAUDIA Conway has accused her mom Kellyanne of allegedly posting a nude picture of her on Twitter Fleets. Claudia posted a since-deleted TikTok video on Monday, claiming that Conway, 54, posted the photograph. “Apparently, that’s real and I guess happened,” she said. “The picture’s from months ago and I’m assuming that when my mom took my phone, anytime she’s taken it, she takes it all the time, she took a picture of that so that was on her phone and I guess she accidentally posted it or somebody hacked her, but nobody would ever have any photo like that ever.”

Boner Candidate #3: OH, THEY DON’T REALLY NEED THE VACCINE
Vaccine Rollout Misses TSA Screeners, Air-Traffic Controllers (Bloomberg) — They’re essential workers performing critical safety work and have been assigned priority designation to receive the coronavirus vaccine. Yet tens of thousands of airport security screeners, air-traffic controllers and federal accident investigators who must report to work in spite of the virus ravaging the U.S. haven’t gotten the shot and aren’t sure how and when they will.

ROUND TWO
Boner Candidate #1: GEORGIA, YOU HAVE ELECTED A TREASONOUS CRIMINAL TO CONGRESS
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress, a CNN KFile review of hundreds of posts and comments from Greene’s Facebook page shows. Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, frequently posted far-right extremist and debunked conspiracy theories on her page, including the baseless QAnon conspiracy which casts former President Donald Trump in an imagined battle against a sinister cabal of Democrats and celebrities who abuse children.

Boner Candidate #2: IT’S A VERMONTER…GET HIM
Portland, ME — Portland police arrested two people they say attacked a man because his car had Vermont license plates. The suspects yelled at the victim and told him that he shouldn’t be in Maine, then assaulted him on Friday afternoon, police said in a Facebook post. Police said they damaged his car and tried to pull him out of the vehicle.

Boner Candidate #3: ANYONE WHO ASSISTS THIS KIND OF THING IS A BONER
This wannabe alien has a face only a mother could love. Anthony Loffredo, a 32-year-old Frenchman who wants to be a “black alien,” has gotten his nose removed in Spain, where it is legal to do so, the Mirror reports. He also had his upper lip cut off and covered his entire body — including his eyeballs — in tattoos as part of his @the_black_alien_project on Instagram. And in a reptilian twist, Loffredo also had his tongue split.

Round One
Boner Candidate #1: LOUIS, YOU ARE SUCH A GOHMERT.
East Texas congressman Louie Gohmert suggested that “violence in the streets” may be the only remaining option to block Joe Biden from becoming president, after a federal judge rejected his lawsuit aiming to force Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election. U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, an appointee of President Donald Trump from Gohmert’s hometown of Tyler, threw out the lawsuit late Friday, ruling that he and other plaintiffs — including the GOP chairwoman in Arizona and that state’s defeated slate of Republican electors — lack standing. Late Saturday, a federal appeals court upheld the ruling. Late Friday on Newsmax, Gohmert said he had sought redress in court “so that you didn’t have to have riots and violence in the street.” “Bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We’re not going to touch this, you have no remedy,’” Gohmert said. “Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you’ve got to go to the streets and be as violent as antifa and BLM.” It’s not the first time Gohmert — a former state trial court judge who just won his ninth term in Congress — has expressed admiration for the use of violence to overturn an election.

Boner Candidate #2: MAN CAN’T EVEN HAVE A LITTLE NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION.
Brevard County, FL — A Florida man who rode his airboat through the streets of his neighborhood on New Year’s Eve threatened to kill deputies as they were taking him into custody, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said they were called to Mimosa Avenue around 11:30 p.m. Thursday and saw a man, later identified as Joseph Prohaska, 40, riding an airboat on the streets before pulling it into a yard. A public information officer said Prohaska knocked over trash cans and was shooting off fireworks during the incident. As deputies were on scene, they said Prohaska turned the airboat on and started to rev the engine “to cause a disturbance and mock law enforcement.” Prohaska was then placed under arrest but began making threats when deputies also tried to take his father into custody, telling them, “I will kill you if you hurt him,” records show.

Boner Candidate #3: …AND IT’S GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD CAKE.
Port St. Lucie, FL — After police found a scale and bags containing white and brown substances in his backpack, a Florida Man claimed that he was carrying “a bag of sugar and a bag of corn starch to bake a cake,” according to an arrest report. Investigators say that ex-con Jethro Geneus, 30, was a passenger in a Honda that was pulled over by Port St. Lucie cops around 3 AM on New Year’s Eve. Geneus, seen at right, was removed from the car after officers determined that he was the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant. A subsequent search of a backpack that was at Geneus’s feet on the front floorboard revealed “two large bags of a white and brown substance,” cops report. Geneus, who reportedly claimed ownership of the backpack, said that the seized substances were actually ingredients for a cake to be baked. However, a field test revealed that both substances–which weighed a combined two-thirds of a pound–contained Ecstasy. In addition to a narcotics trafficking count, Geneus was charged with introducing contraband into a detention facility after he allegedly dropped a bag of meth while in custody at the county jail.

Round Two
Boner Candidate #1: IT JUST AIN’T THE NEW YEAR WITHOUT BUSHMEAT.
Newark, NJ — Here’s some bad news if you were planning to celebrate the new year by dining on a hodgepodge of “bushmeat.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey seized nearly nine pounds of bushmeat, the agency announced Tuesday. Bushmeat is “raw or minimally processed meat” from parts of animals, including bats, monkeys, cane rats and antelope, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is usually either smoked, dried or salted. The meat, which comes from parts of Africa, is illegal to bring into the U.S. because it can spread diseases, according to the CDC. A U.S. citizen brought the bushmeat on a flight from Ghana, customs officials said. The passenger declared the meat to a CBP agriculture specialist, who determined it was illegal bushmeat. Officials then seized and destroyed the meat. An animal disease outbreak associated with foods like bushmeat could affect public health, the economy and the food supply, according to CBP. Even Ebola, which isn’t usually spread by food, has been associated with bushmeat hunting, butchering and processing, per the CDC.

Boner Candidate #2: MILEY, YOU SHOULD RESIST THE URGE TO SHARE THINGS ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
Miley Cyrus likes to put her sex toys out on display. In a recent interview with Sirius XM radio’s Barstool Sports show, the Plastic Hearts singer revealed that her home is decorated with various sex toys as sculptures. “I like sex toys,” she declared. “I buy them for myself, but I end up using them for interior design. Sex and interior design go actually hand-in-hand.” Back in August, she explained on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she likes the way her plethora of vibrators look as home decor. “Most of my sex toys I use as interior design — I do like sex toys as interior design. I’ll buy a dildo, and [for] more than … its operation — I don’t really wanna get in there with it because I love the way it looks on my table,” she explained. “I’m really into dildos for interior design. I buy them for myself, but I end up using them for interior design. I like vibrators, but I mostly like aesthetic.” “I like d–ks as an aesthetic. Girls are way hotter. We know this. Everyone I think can agree that d–ks make wonderful sculptures. But more than that, I am not as interested. I like d–ks as art pieces. I love the shape,” she added.

Boner Candidate #3: I BEEN EATIN’ SNAILS.
DARWIN, Australia – Two mates have stumbled across a naked fugitive living off snails and hiding in croc-infested mangroves during a fishing trip near Darwin. Cam Faust and Kevin Joiner were in a tinny laying crab traps in East Point, about 18 kilometers north of Darwin, when they heard someone calling for help from in the mangroves on Sunday afternoon. “We heard this faint like ‘ahhh, ahhhh’ — (I said) to me mate ‘is that guy saying help?’ so we got a bit closer and said ‘I can see you’,” Mr Faust told 9News. To their surprise, when the pair got closer, what they found was a naked man clinging to branches, filthy and covered in bug bites. “I’ve been eating snail,” Luke Voskresensky told the approaching duo, saying he was stuck after getting lost on his way to a New Year’s Eve party days earlier. “We thought he was having us on, taking the piss, and then we went closer and realized the severity,” Mr Faust said. “Completely naked, cuts all over him, swollen feet, covered in mud.” The friends said the 40-year-old really wanted to “get out of there” and was happy to get in the boat where he was welcomed with a cold beer. They agreed Mr Faust would gift the stark naked man his shorts as he was in a better position to do so. “I wasn’t wearing any undies so I couldn’t give him mine,” Mr Joiner laughed.

Another $1,400 Stimulus Payment Could be Coming Soon
| null | null |
x96.com

Stimulus payments of $1,400 could soon be on the way for most Americans — if Joe Biden gets his way.
The President-elect on Thursday outlined his $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” on Thursday, which includes a third relief payment for most U.S. citizens. The plan also includes increasing unemployment benefits to $400 a week through the end of September; raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour; $170 billion in aid for schools and universities; and an extension of the federal ban on evictions.
President-elect Joe Biden is unveiling a $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan to speed vaccine rollout, steady the economy and reopen schools. The plan includes $1,400 checks for individuals, on top of $600 provided in the last COVID-19 bill. https://t.co/eEFpoo0zTM — The Associated Press (@AP) January 14, 2021
“The crisis of human suffering is in plain sight, and there’s no time to waste,” Biden said while unveiling the plan, which will likely be voted on in February. “We have to act, and we have to act now.”
While getting free money is great, will we end up paying it back in the future?

ROUND ONE
Boner Candidate #1: NANCY THIS IS OUR DESK
Members of the pro-Trump mob that broke into the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday broke into the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while there. Trump-friendly media shared photos and videos from inside the office, and AFP photographer Saul Loeb took a photo of one such demonstrator sitting at a desk in Pelosi’s office. Another photo shows that someone left a folder on her desk with the writing, “WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN” in red ink. And yet another photo shows someone — with their face exposed and smiling for the camera — walking off with a lectern with the House Speaker logo on it, but it’s unclear if the lectern was taken from Pelosi’s office or from another location.

Boner Candidate #2: I WAS JUST THERE TO FILM HISTORY
A newly elected lawmaker from West Virginia was among the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on Wednesday, filming as he stood among the crowd outside a door, rushed with them inside and then wandered through the halls along with the scores of others who had breached the building. The lawmaker, Derrick Evans, posted the video to his Facebook page, where he goes by “Derrick Evans – The Activist” on Wednesday afternoon, but he later deleted it. Mr. Evans, who was elected as a Republican state delegate in November, posted several videos from the events of the day, both narrating and joining in “Stop the Steal” chants with throngs of other Trump supporters. In the video that was deleted, he is among a crowd that shoved up against a door at the Capitol’s east front, some chanting and others loudly singing the national anthem. Those at the front appear to be trying to get inside, while Mr. Evans gives a running commentary on the attempts.

Boner Candidate #3: NO HE CAN’T
A Los Angeles, California-based comedian is putting his tummy where his mouth is with a flexible belly button that can blow a kiss. TikTok clips showcasing his umbilical gymnastics have gone viral online. “I grew up on a farm without cable,” Henry Drayton, 27, told Caters News Agency about the inspiration for his stomach-smacking stunt, which he reportedly perfected by messing “around in the mirror.”

ROUND TWO
Boner Candidate #1: ONE OF MANY…AND MORE TO COME
FREDERICK, Mary. — A marketing firm based in Maryland has fired an employee who wore his company badge when he stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Navistar Direct Marketing of Frederick said in a statement Thursday that it was made aware that a man wearing a Navistar badge was seen inside the Capitol during the security breach. The statement said that after the company reviewed the photos, the unidentified employee was fired for cause. No additional details were released.

Boner Candidate #2: COACH MALONE IS NO LONGER A PART OF THE UNIVERSITY
An assistant football coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga lost his job after smearing Stacey Abrams and the state of Georgia in a Twitter post that perpetuated unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, university officials said on Thursday. The coach, Chris Malone, was in his second season as an assistant and offensive line coach for the Mocs, according to a biography that was removed from the university’s athletics website.

Boner Candidate #3: SHE SAID HITLER WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING
CHICAGO (AP) — A growing number of Democrats called Thursday for the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, a newly sworn-in Republican who quoted Adolf Hitler at a rally outside the U.S. Capitol this week. U.S. Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Marie Newman, both Illinois Democrats, along with a contingent of state legislators circulating a petition, demanded Miller step down immediately. “There are some things that cross a very definite line and that was one of them,” said Schakowsky, who is Jewish. “At a moment like this, when emotions have been so high on all sides, to invoke the name of Hitler was about as inappropriate and wrong as you can get.”

‘Justice League’ Star Ray Fisher Written Out of ‘Flash’
| null | null |
x96.com
|
If you were a fan of Ray Fisher as Cyborg in the Justice League film and want to see more of him in future DC movies, don’t hold your breath.
The word is, Fisher’s character has been written out of the Flash film after his recent criticism of director Joss Whedon and DC Films President Walter Hamada.
On Twitter, Fisher said he wanted nothing to do with Flash and even called Hamada, “the most dangerous kind of enabler.”
I strongly suggest that @TheWrap amend this article immediately. While I appreciate the reporter’s undying desire to do @wbpictures and Walter Hamada’s bidding—it is factually inaccurate. I did not publicly step down from anything. 1/5https://t.co/905q9eX2QX — Ray Fisher (@ray8fisher) January 7, 2021
The studio has granted Fisher’s wish to not be a part of the movie and as far as re-casting the role there’s been no word of that happening either.
Are you a fan of the DC films? Do you think Fisher is right?

A recent trend on TikTok has people showing interesting things about their homes and properties like weird pieces of furniture or decked out “man caves”.
One TikTok user posted a video of a secret door he found behind a bookshelf in his home.
He pulled the lever and it opens to a set of stairs that go to a passageway and eventually leads to a big open room.
Have you found anything weird or exciting in your home after moving in? What makes your house/property unique?

Chris Cornell’s daughter is sharing a touching tribute to her late father.
On Thursday, Toni Cornell posted a recorded version of herself singing “Hunger Strike” to commemorate the release of the song 30 years ago.
She wrote, “Love you daddy and I’m so proud of what you created, who you are, and everything you believed in. This song represents all of that to me.”
Toni’s video was originally recorded in April to help raise money for COVID-19 relief.

Seesaws on Mexican Border Wall Seesaws win Prestigious Design Award

Several pink seesaws that extend through the wall that divides the United States and Mexico have received a respected award from overseas.
London’s Design Museum has given the seesaw project’s architects the Best Design of 2020 award, the museum announced Tuesday. “We are totally surprised by this unexpected honor,” says Ronald Rael, the project’s co-designer. “Most importantly, it comes at a time when we are hopeful for change and that we start building more bridges instead of walls.”
A seesaw for kids on the US-Mexico Border has won the 2020 Beazley Design of the Year award. The installation consisted of three bright pink seesaws, slotted into the gaps of the steel border wall that separates the US and Mexico. https://t.co/Lm3bZ4H5rI — CNN (@CNN) January 19, 2021
Officially called “Teeter-Totter Wall,” the El Paso-based project is meant to cast a spotlight on the metal barrier between the two countries, contrasted by a stretch in which children from both sides converge to play with each other, Rael says. It was erected in July 2019.
How could a few boards stuck through a fence win a prestigious design award?

It’s been 20 years since Linkin Park made their television debut and members of the band are reflecting on those memories.
Joe Hahn and Dave Phoenix Farrell took to Twitter to discuss their television debut on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, including how they felt before and after the performance.

Hahn says that, while on a flight, Slick Rick gave them compliments on their performance the day after.
Farrell recalls being nervous about what he would wear during the performance, saying his daughters still tease him about his choice of pants.
Did you get to see Linkin Park’s TV debut? Were you able to see Linkin Park live when they first took off?

‘Mind Control Chip’ From Popular Conspiracy Theory Is Actually From A Guitar Pedal

Have you heard the conspiracy theory about COVID-19 and a ‘5G chip’ being implanted in people’s brains? Well, it won’t control your brain – but it might help you shred a guitar solo.
Turns out a blueprint of a “COVID-19 5G CHIP” making the rounds on social media is from a guitar pedal – the BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone to be exact.
COVID-19 conspiracy theorists thought schematics for a guitar pedal was a 5G chip blueprint: https://t.co/yhkq4n5Ptt pic.twitter.com/h0XingpFRf — Consequence of Sound (@consequence) January 5, 2021
No one’s sure how the rumor got started, but some have traced it to a Romanian Facebook page last month – which then caught on in Italy as a serious rumor.
Do you have a conspiracy-theorist friend? Are there any conspiracy theories you actually believe?

Another New Foo Fighters Song Will Drop Thursday

Foo Fighters are getting ready to drop another new song from their upcoming album Medicine at Midnight.
The band will release the acoustic track “Waiting On A War” on Thursday – which Dave Grohl called “one of the best songs we’ve ever written”.
It sounds like a timely one, too – Grohl says it’s inspired by his childhood in Washington D.C., with “nightmares of missiles in the sky and soldiers in my backyard”.

You ever hate something SO much that you try to bury it? Rocker Sting definitely has.
According to Police drummer Andy Summers, the band needed a song to add to their Zenyatta Mondatta album.
“I had this “Behind My Camel” thing,” said Summers. “I said: ‘How about doing this, then?’ And Sting said: ‘I’m not playing on that!’ I actually believe he did bury the tape in the garden,” he continued.
Sting refused to play on a Grammy-winning Andy Summers instrumental and never wanted it releasedhttps://t.co/8r71950zZ9 — Classic Rock Magazine (@ClassicRockMag) January 21, 2021
“Behind My Camel” went on to win the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

This year will be the 25th anniversary of the album, so a reissue makes sense. The band also did special 25th-anniversary reissues of their albums Core and Purple.

Rage Against the Machine has released a mini-documentary called Killing in Thy Name, covering the effects of racism.
The 15-minute documentary includes a title card at the beginning, reading, “Our aim is for this piece to be a fire escape from the fiction known as whiteness and a spring for discovery. Remember, the children are always watching.”
Guitarist Tom Morello’s words are shared in the film, detailing his white mother’s fight against racism.
Would you watch this documentary? Do you think Rage Against the Machine will still be reuniting when Covid-restrictions lift?

Elon Musk has overtaken Jeff Bezos as the wealthiest person in the world.

Musk’s net worth has skyrocketed by over $53 billion in the last two months as Tesla shares have nearly doubled.
Will Musk hang onto the top spot, or is his wealth mostly ‘on paper’ due to Tesla’s stock price?

Vaccine Rollout Misses TSA Screeners, Air-Traffic Controllers (Bloomberg) — They’re essential workers performing critical safety work and have been assigned priority designation to receive the coronavirus vaccine.

Boner Candidate #2: GEORGIA, YOU HAVE ELECTED A TREASONOUS CRIMINAL TO CONGRESS
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress, a CNN KFile review of hundreds of posts and comments from Greene’s Facebook page shows. Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, frequently posted far-right extremist and debunked conspiracy theories on her page, including the baseless QAnon conspiracy which casts former President Donald Trump in an imagined battle against a sinister cabal of Democrats and celebrities who abuse children.

Looking for an escape from the winter weather? Why not head to the Maldives, where you can stay at the new Waldorf Astoria resort for a mere $80,000 per night.
The resort opened this week on the private island of Itthaafushi, accomodating up to 24 guests in three villas, complete with multiple jacuzzis, swimming pools, a gym, a yoga pavilion, and ‘indoor and outdoor rain showers.’
The Waldorf Astoria has just opened a private island in the Maldives. Spread over 32,000 square meters, it's being marketed as the largest private island in the Maldives and can be bought out for $80,000 a night. https://t.co/6m6aO5pBL2 — CNN International (@cnni) January 15, 2021
It also has its own culinary team on standby for meal service – if you don’t feel like taking a boat to the nearest restaurant.
The Maldives is a chain of more than 1,200 islands located off the southeastern coast of India.

Man Fined $270 For Violating Lockdown - To Play ‘Pokemon Go’

A UK man has been fined $270 for violating lockdown rules – by leaving the house to play Pokemon Go.
Police say the man traveled from Bedworth to Kenilworth to try and capture some digital critters – breaking rules that only permit people to leave their homes with “a reasonable excuse.”

How often do you leave the house in a week? Did you know people were still playing Pokemon Go?

‘Extraction 2’ Will Begin Filming This Fall

Extraction 2 starring Chris Hemsworth will begin shooting this Fall.
The first film turned out to be a huge success for Netflix and director Sam Hargrave and with that success, a sequel was a foregone conclusion.
While cast and crew are ready to continue the story, the folks at Netflix are being cautious. The film will require lots of people to be in close proximity which will be a real challenge in today’s COVID-19 world.
In case you haven’t seen it, “Extraction” was stupid, but enough of us watched the pile of sh!t, so they made another. It’s all on us.

We all know how we feel when we eat chocolate, but what exactly does it do to your body?
Website Eat This, Not That! asked experts to chime in on how chocolate affects the body and it’s mostly good!
Your mood, energy, and thinking skills will see a boost if you eat chocolate regularly and it can even have a positive effect on your blood pressure and risk of heart disease!

Sylvain Sylvain, the guitarist for the legendary glam-punk band New York Dolls, has died at the age of 69.
His wife shared the news on Facebook Thursday, confirming that her husband had battled cancer for the last two and a half years.
Originally born in Egypt, Sylvain co-founded New York Dolls in 1971. They would become one of the most influential bands of the early NYC punk scene. He re-joined the band for their reunion in the 2000s.

Why Is Google Threatening To Shut Down In Australia?
| null | null |
x96.com

Google is threatening to pull its search engine from Australia over a controversial new law.
The country is trying to pass a code that would require tech companies to share revenues with news outlets – many of which say they’re losing money because companies like Google and Facebook profit off their content while keeping the advertising money for themselves.
Google threatens to remove its search engine from Australia if new law goes into effect https://t.co/oGJI5gKgKK pic.twitter.com/xoM9b2SPOc — The Verge (@verge) January 22, 2021
But Google says forcing companies to pay for links would “be like requiring the telephone directory to pay businesses to be able to include them.”
In response, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said “We don’t respond to threats”.
Do companies like Facebook and Google have too much power over their audience? Are they unfairly profiting off other peoples’ content?

Man Could Lose $240 Million Bitcoin Fortune Because He Lost His Password

A San Francisco man has amassed a Bitcoin fortune worth over $240 million – if only he could remember his password.
Programmer Stefan Thomas has the Bitcoin stored on a hard drive ‘digital wallet’. But he lost the password years ago, and has already used 8 of his 10 login attempts before the hard drive seizes up permanently.
Thomas told the New York Times that he “would just lay in bed and think about it.”
A German programmer has 2 chances to guess the password to his hard drive correctly, or he'll lose $220 million https://t.co/cPW6AFedms — Business Insider (@businessinsider) January 12, 2021
The price of Bitcoin has surged by more than 50 percent in just the last month – but some estimate that as much as 20% of the world’s Bitcoin holdings are inaccessible due to lost passwords.

Boner Candidate #1: AM I FREE NOW? HOW ABOUT NOW? NOW?
Joe Exotic’s legal team is so confident the “Tiger King” star will get a pardon from President Trump on Tuesday that they have a limo parked near his prison — and hair and makeup at the ready. “This time tomorrow, we’re going to be celebrating,” Eric Love, who is leading Exotic’s bid for freedom, told Metro.co.uk in an interview Monday afternoon. “We have good reason to believe it will come through,” he said of a presidential pardon for the Netflix star, who is serving 22 years for trying to hire a hitman to kill zookeeper rival Carole Baskin. “We’re confident enough we already have a limousine parked about half a mile from the prison. We are really in action mode right now,” he said of a stretch limo near the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth in Texas.

Boner Candidate #2: IF A HOLY MAN CAN’T KILL THE COVID, WHO CAN?
A self-styled Sri Lankan holy man’s supposed miracle potion to prevent Covid-19 turned sour Tuesday after a minister who publicly drank it was hospitalised with the virus. Thousands defied public gathering restrictions to swamp a village in central Sri Lanka last month to get the syrup made by Dhammika Bandara. Women and Child Development Minister Piyal Nishantha de Silva was among several politicians who consumed the concoction, but parliamentary officials said he had since tested positive for coronavirus and taken to a treatment centre. Family members of another politician, who hailed from Bandara’s village, had also been infected despite taking the syrup. Pro-government media gave widespread publicity to Bandara who claimed the formula was revealed to him by Kali, a Hindu goddess of death and destruction of evil. The only ingredients he acknowledged were honey and nutmeg. The government has scrambled to distance itself from Bandara, whose preparation was approved as a food supplement by the official indigenous medicine unit.

ROUND ONE
Boner Candidate #1: 70 THOUSAND FAKE SHOTS
A health clinic in Ecuador has been caught administering fake COVID vaccines to tens of thousands of patients. Quito security chief César Díaz told reporters that the bogus facility had treated at least 70,000 patients who were charged $15 for each of the three doses they were required to take. He said patients were told they would be immune to the deadly virus once they had received all three doses. Díaz said that Quito health officials do not know what type of formula was injected into each of the patients who were treated at the facility – which has not been identified. A video that appears to have been recorded by an undercover agent shows Dr. Lucía Peñafiel, who was in charge of the site’s operation, not wearing while treating a patient because she claimed she and her staff ‘are protected.’ Doctor gives fake COVID-19 vaccinations though an IV treatment

Boner Candidate #2: MAN YOU HAVE CHANGED
A Mexican woman flew into a rage and stabbed her husband when she found what she thought were snaps of him on his phone having sex with another woman — who happened to be her when they were dating years ago. Police responded last week to reports of a domestic dispute at the couple’s home in Cajeme, Sonora, where they discovered the man with multiple stab wounds on his arms and legs, the Daily Mail reported. His wife, identified as Leonora A, reportedly went ballistic when she found the explicit photos on his phone showing him having sex with who she thought was another woman.

ROUND TWO
Boner Candidate #1: MAN THE CHIEF REALLY GETS AROUND
A married Texas police chief and father of four has been busted by his girlfriend for allegedly leading a “double/triple life” with at least two mistresses. The scorned woman aired his dirty laundry in a Facebook post with over 37,000 shares. The scandal came to light after Jason Collier, 41, chief of the Stinnett Police Department, uploaded a since-deleted Facebook post commemorating his anniversary with his wife Opal, the Heavy reported.

Boner Candidate #2: GAY HITLER IS AT IT AGAIN
For months, far-right voices like Rush Limbaugh and Texas GOP head Allen West have floated secession as a potential means of escaping Democratic control in Washington. This week, that chatter transformed into something concrete—and nearly unprecedented. In Austin, Republican Kyle Biedermann of the Texas House of Representatives, previously best known for dressing up as “gay Hitler,” became the first American legislator in nearly a century and only the second since the Civil War to file a formal bill calling for state-level secession from the United States.

Boner Candidate #3: UTAH SHAMES WOMEN
A bill now before the state Legislature would compel Utah women seeking an abortion to watch an online course displaying “medically-accurate” images of the procedure and then attest under penalty of perjury that they’ve viewed the presentation from start to finish. Completing this online module is already a mandatory step before an abortion in Utah — although right-wing advocates argue the current informed process is too porous and believe women might be skimming over or skipping the course.

His wife, identified as Leonora A, reportedly went ballistic when she found the explicit photos on his phone showing him having sex with who she thought was another woman.\nRead More\nBoner Candidate #3: THE FACE MASK FOR A-HOLES\nA breathable mesh mask.

This week, that chatter transformed into something concrete—and nearly unprecedented. In Austin, Republican Kyle Biedermann of the Texas House of Representatives, previously best known for dressing up as “gay Hitler,” became the first American legislator in nearly a century and only the second since the Civil War to file a formal bill calling for state-level secession from the United States.\nRead More\nBoner Candidate #3: UTAH SHAMES WOMEN\nA bill now before the state Legislature would compel Utah women seeking an abortion to watch an online course displaying “medically-accurate” images of the procedure and then attest under penalty of perjury that they’ve viewed the presentation from start to finish. Completing this online module is already a mandatory step before an abortion in Utah — although right-wing advocates argue the current informed process is too porous and believe women might be skimming over or skipping the course.\nRead More",

Did ‘The Simpsons’ Predict Kamala Harris’ Inauguration Look?
| null | null |

Many Simpsons fans are convinced the series can predict the future – and it may have just done it again.
The 2000 episode “Bart to the Future” is already famous for a scene in which Lisa Simpson, in the future, has been elected President and tells her staff “we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.”
"The Simpsons" seemed to get it right again — by predicting part of the inauguration https://t.co/xbE6ddfw0w pic.twitter.com/FSUIqnoodf — CNN (@CNN) January 22, 2021
Now that prediction is twice as eerie. In the scene, Lisa is wearing a purple blazer and pearl necklace – almost identical to the outfit Kamala Harris wore when she was sworn in as the nation’s first-ever female Vice President.
Do you think The Simpsons really can predict the future? Was Harris’ outfit intentionally chosen to match Lisa’s?

Oklahoma Lawmaker Wants A Hunting Season For Bigfoot
| null | null |

An Oklahoma lawmaker is pushing for the state to create a new hunting season – for Bigfoot.
State Rep. Justin Humphrey has introduced a bill that would establish a ‘Bigfoot hunting season’ in the Sooner State.
Humphrey represents Oklahoma’s 19th District – a region famous for Bigfoot sightings and home to the annual Bigfoot Festival and Conference.
Bigfoot Hunting Season Bill Proposed by Oklahoma Lawmaker https://t.co/DK8JRoHGh6 — TMZ (@TMZ) January 21, 2021
However, the state’s Department of Wildlife Conservation says they “do not recognize Bigfoot as a wildlife species in Oklahoma”.
Do you know anyone who believes in Bigfoot? Could a species that large really remain hidden from view for so long?

Health Care Workers Get Stuck In Snowstorm, Give COVID Vaccine To Other Stranded Drivers

A group of health care workers in Oregon got stuck in a snowstorm while carrying a batch of COVID-19 vaccines that were about to expire. Their solution? Vaccinate the other stranded motorists!
Employees of Josephine County Public Health were driving back from a vaccination clinic with six doses of vaccine in tow. Rather than let them go to waste, the workers went car-to-car offering the vaccine to other drivers stuck in the snow.
Director Michael Weber said, “Our No. 1 rule right now is nothing gets wasted.”

Would you accept a vaccine from someone who approached your car in a snowstorm? What’s your ‘stuck in a snowstorm’ story?
