Above Photo: Matt Rourke / AP Photo. The US is almost unique among industrialized nations in refusing its population paid days off for when they’re sick. A condition US President Joe Biden’s foundered social spending bill would have addressed. In the last 10 days, 7.6 million new COVID-19 cases have been detected in the United States. Before mid-December, that’s the time period for which the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would have required Americans to quarantine once they test positive for COVID-19 – a practice intended to limit the spread of the highly contagious virus. However, a sudden policy change on December […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A new model of COVID-19 spread developed by specialists at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences shows that herd immunity to the coronavirus could be obtained within a given population after only 3-10 percent of the people get sick. According to the institute’s lead scientist Sergey Trigger, the new model of the spread of COVID-19 takes four parameters into account: the number of people within a given population, the number of potentially dangerous contacts an infected individual has per day, the probability of getting infected and the span of the illness. “Having […]
Last Monday, top officials on the White House coronavirus task force issued an urgent warning to governors across the country: Stop sending your COVID-infected college students home to their parents or risk another nationwide surge, just like the one that overwhelmed the South this summer. So far, the task force’s request for governors to talk to their college presidents appears to have made little difference. By the end of the week, some colleges in the country’s biggest coronavirus hot spots not only were still allowing students to go home after they’d been exposed or infected—they were ordering them to. “You need […]

Fed up with decades of two-party rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans tuned in for the People’s Convention, where they voted to form a new political alternative unbeholden to corporate power or the military-industrial complex. The event drew more than 400,000 viewers to its livestream on Sunday, organizers said. It continued to trend on Twitter through more than 5 hours of speeches that culminated in a vote to create a “major new corporate-free political party in America.” Among the speakers at the convention were several disgruntled Democrats, from Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 national co-chair Nina Turner to a candidate in this […]
Before last night’s neon obscenity—a Trump rally on the South Lawn of the American White House—the 2020 Republican National Convention was close to cartoonish in its attempt to scare the country into voting for Donald J. Trump. It began as dark comedy with a cast of family members, supplicants, incompetents, political ne’er do wells and loud worshippers of a guy who never really believed he’d win on that long-gone night in November 2016 but now thinks he belongs on Mount Rushmore. As each day melted into the next, though, there were no laugh-lines. Only the specter of a dark hand with […]
Four years ago, Rudy Giuliani took to the stage at the Republican National Convention to deliver a shouty monologue about how his friend Donald Trump would usher in a new era of law and order and end the racial strife prompted by police killings of Black men. Four years later, Giuliani is back at the RNC. He’s still shouty. And this time he’s monologuing about how an unprecedented wave of protests, civil strife, and outrage over yet another new round of police shootings is why we need to re-elect Trump. Claiming that “my city is in shock” over a rise in […]

So we now know the Democrat plan to win in 2020… Lie to the American people about Trump and blame Europe and not China for the Wuhan coronavirus.

It’s safe to say that Samuel Trelawney Hughes did not handle rejection well. The 31-year-old British-born California resident was indicted Tuesday on charges that he used fake identities to terrorize women he met at networking events or at work who were not interested in meeting with him again. The threatening messages the IT worker allegedly sent the victims by email, text, and the postal service were full of monstrously violent imagery: vows of rape, murder, dismemberment, and immolation with an overlay of misogyny and racism. “Why the fuck haven’t you replied to my last email, you know I am going to […]
Jacquelyn Gill was angry. First she heard an academic she knew online had perished at the hands of the raging coronavirus pandemic. Then things got weird. “I went from thinking a Twitter friend and colleague died of COVID after being forced by her institution to teach, to doubting she had existed in the first place,” Gill, a University of Maine climate scientist, told The Daily Beast. Gill was referring to the mysterious Twitter account known as @Sciencing_Bi, which was created in 2016, had a flower for an avatar image, and had about 6,000 followers before it went private over the weekend.

Model Chrissy Teigen has gone on a major Twitter offensive, accusing “sick psychopaths” of inundating her with unfounded accusations she flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane or was involved in some way with his illegal acts. “I have block chained over one million people, ONE MILLION people today and I am still flooded with sick psychopaths. So please, spare me the ‘just ignore them, they’re just trolls,’” she tweeted on Wednesday morning.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sunday morning couldn’t promise teachers, students and parents that they wouldn’t get sick from coronavirus if schools fully reopen this fall, as the Trump administration has been aggressively pushing for in recent days. DeVos and President Donald Trump launched a pressure campaign this past week to force and threaten state and local school districts to fully reopen schools for full-time, in-person learning. DeVos herself has said she wants all schools to commit to being open five days a week and steer clear of remote learning, even as the pandemic rages to record levels in the country. […]
This is the modern day left — America hating, whitey hating bigots. On Sunday morning Tiffany Cross filled in for Joy Reid on MSNBC. During her monologue Cross labeled the 4th of July “Independence Day for white men” and compared Trump voters to “colonizing slave owners.” Tiffany Cross: And so here we are celebrating the birth of a nation, independence for white men at a site described by one native American activists as “a symbol of white supremacy.” Trump choosing Mount Rushmore for a 4th of July campaign stop is just like when he chose Tulsa, the site of the 1921 […]

Just hours after addressing his past blackface and racial slur sins, YouTuber Shane Dawson found himself in deeper trouble after a video went viral showing him pretending to masturbate to a poster of 11yo Willow Smith. The scandalous video shows Dawson, a YouTuber with over 20 million subscribers, standing in front of an old Disney poster of young Willow, huffing and puffing, apparently pretending to masturbate while saying, “whip your hair back and forth,” in reference to the girl’s song. It was not immediately clear when exactly the video was recorded or who dug it up and shared it, but the clip […]

If you’ve ever tried to cram for the SATs after partying all senior year, you know how desperate Donald Trump’s current situation is. He is running for his political life. He’s running out of gas.

In these uncertain times, it’s good to see that some things never change, among them the ancient tradition of celebrities finding their characters inexplicably smeared in the wake of a relationship breakup. The move, often assumed to be a kind of phony war for hearts and minds ahead of divorce proceedings proper, was of course much on display in the opening cases of Pitt v Jolie and Heard v Depp. The latest celebrity breakup to rock the brotherhood of celebrity is the parting of the ways by Transformers star Megan Fox and her husband, former 90210 hunk Brian Austin Green after […]

Governor Cuomo launched his defense plan on Sunday. He tried to anway. New York Governor Cuomo was asked about the tragic number of deaths in New York nursing homes due to the coronavirus.
