Remember, China has nearly zero documents on Wikileaks. There’s a reason for that, they murder anyone they even suspect of hijinks. In order for this to be 100% legit, you’d have to believe this was even remotely possible.

A major leak containing a register with the details of nearly two million CCP members has occurred – exposing members who are now working all over the world, while also lifting the lid on how the party operates under Xi Jinping, says Sharri Markson.
Ms Markson said the leak is a register with the details of Communist Party members, including their names, party position, birthday, national ID number and ethnicity. “It is believed to be the first leak of its kind in the world,” the Sky News host said.
“What’s amazing about this database is not just that it exposes people who are members of the communist party, and who are now living and working all over the world, from Australia to the US to the UK,” Ms Markson said. “But it’s amazing because it lifts the lid on how the party operates under President and Chairman Xi Jinping”.

In Long Island City, it’s the scar that won’t heal.
Two years after Amazon pulled out from a proposal to build a massive headquarters along the Queens waterfront, the site is a vacant eyesore — and, to many locals, the squandered economic opportunity is even more painful amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The site just sits there empty. It’s terrible,” said Donna Drimer, owner of the Matted LIC art gallery and gift store. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic. People say, ‘If we only had Amazon.’ We got nothing.”
The world’s largest e-tailer abruptly cancelled its projected 25,000 job-producing campus after being taken aback by ferocious opposition from the local pols — including democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and state Sen. Mike Gianaris.

The owner of a gym in Graham, Washington, has vowed to remain open despite a series of hefty fines levied by the state for disobeying Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee’s restrictions intended to slow the spread of COVID-19.
According to the News Tribune, “Graham Fitness was hit with eight violations totaling $77,112 by the state Department of Labor & Industries on Friday for violating the Safe Start mandate to close up shop.” The outlet described the penalty as the state’s “largest pandemic fine to date,” noting that the total breaks down to $9,639 per day.
“They can fine me whatever they want,” owner Michael Knick told the News Tribune on Friday. “I don’t have it.”

Trucks hauling trailers loaded with suitcase–sized containers of Covid-19 vaccine rolled out of Pfizer’s manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Sunday – launching the largest and most complex vaccine distribution project in the US.
The long-wished for development comes against a backdrop of a raging pandemic that has killed almost 300,000 Americans amid a botched government response by the Trump administration that has made the US the worst-hit country in the world.

Sen. Lamar Alexander said President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and needs to “put the country first,” calling on him to formally concede to President-elect Joe Biden during an interview Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
Alexander noted “the courts have resolved the disputes” Trump and his allies levied at states where he narrowly lost to Biden. Alexander also said he hoped Trump would congratulate Biden on his victory and then “helps him get off to a good start.”

New York City politico Lindsey Boylan alleged on Twitter Sunday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo “sexually harassed me for years.”
Boylan, who describes herself as a progressive on her Twitter account, worked for the governor’s administration from 2015 to 2018, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She worked for Empire State Development, the state’s economic development public-benefit organization, until March 2018, when she became deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo.
“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years,” Boylan wrote. “Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.”

The only reason she uses the title is because it’s the only thing that brings meaning to her life.

Northwestern University wiped one of its former lecturers from the school’s website after he penned a controversial Wall Street Journal editorial arguing First Lady-elect Jill Biden shouldn’t use the title of “Dr.” before her name.
Journalist David Gura noted late Saturday that Joseph Epstein appeared to have been removed from the school’s website, where he had been listed as an “emeritus lecturer of English.”
The college also issued a statement saying it “strongly disagrees” with Epstein, who argued Biden should drop the title as she’s not a medical doctor.
“Northwestern is firmly committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and strongly disagrees with Mr. Epstein’s misogynistic views,” said the university, the Daily Northwestern reported.

Four people were stabbed Saturday during unrest in downtown D.C. following a pro-Trump rally, D.C. Fire and EMS said.
The incident happened amid clashes between supporters of President Donald Trump and counterprotesters Saturday night. Earlier in the day, Trump supporters rallied in the District. In late afternoon, police said that beyond minor scuffles, there had been no major acts of violence or criminal activity.
But tensions rose later Saturday, as widespread but sporadic clashes broke out downtown.

The UK readied armed Royal Navy ships on Saturday to patrol its fishing waters in case the Brexit transition period ends without a free-trade deal on future relations with the European Union.
Four, 80-meter (260-foot) naval ships have been placed on standby to safeguard British waters from foreign vessels in the event that both UK and the EU decide to abandon efforts to secure an agreement on Sunday.
The ships will be allowed to stop, check and seize all EU fishing boats caught within the UK’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which can extend 320 kilometers (200 miles) from shore.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) announced that the vessels will be ready on January 1, to prevent possible clashes between EU and British fishing boats.
“The MOD has conducted extensive planning and preparation to ensure that defense is ready for a range of scenarios at the end of the transition period,” a ministry spokesman said.
Existing transitional Brexit rules stipulate that EU vessels will have access to British waters until the end of the year.

Usually “plowed into” means “they jumped in front of the car”
Via The Guardian:
One woman was arrested after allegedly driving her car into a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Manhattan Friday afternoon, injuring six, the New York police department (NYPD) said.
A group of marchers had taken to the streets to protest against the federal immigration authorities detaining people, and in particular to highlight a group of detainees that have resorted to a hunger strike in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) federal detention in New Jersey.
The car charged forward in a terrifying, lightning-quick sequence of events where eyewitnesses said protesters were sent “flying” and people were screaming and running in panic.

Nearly 90 percent of suspects arrested on gun charges this year are back on the streets — fueling an historic spike in shootings that have left more than 1,756 dead or wounded, according to the NYPD.
About 3,345 of the 3,793 perps arrested between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30 for firearms crimes — 88 percent — were let go, according to department data. Just 450 remain in jail, the NYPD told The Post.
Some of the suspects posted bail, but judges were required to release others under new reform laws that prohibit them from setting monetary bail on some gun-possession cases. The crime became ineligible for bail in most circumstances under the Jan. 1 law changes, which mandate judges to release collared suspects, with no money down, on hundreds of charges considered “non-violent.”

A few years ago, Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) established unusual benchmarks for deciding whether to run for reelection in 2022, potential six-year terms that would end with Grassley in his mid-90s and Leahy in his late 80s.
“If I can run three miles four times a week, I’ll be running for reelection,” Grassley, now 87, said at the time.
Leahy, in non-pandemic times, celebrates his birthday by scuba diving, first swimming down to the depth of his new age, doing a somersault underwater. “If I reach the point that I can’t go scuba diving and do my somersaults, that will be one clear indication,” Leahy, now 80, said in late 2017.
