Despite expressing doubt about a vaccine developed during the Trump administration, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to disperse thousands of doses of the coronavirus vaccine to nursing homes.
Cuomo, who, earlier this year, said he doubted the Food and Drug Administration would be able to approve a safe coronavirus vaccine, revealed that 80,000 doses of the new Pfizer and BioNTech coronavirus vaccine would go to the elderly in nursing homes. To date, the state has received over 87,000 vaccine doses, 4,000 of which have already been administered.
“Pending approval, we could get another 346,000 Moderna cases next week,” Cuomo said of the Moderna vaccine, which was deemed safe and effective by the FDA this week.
United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced the guilty plea of Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, to one count of conspiracy to commit arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct during the unrest following the death of George Floyd in May.
According to the his guilty plea and documents filed with the court, on the night of May 28, 2020, Robinson went to the Third Precinct where a crowd of hundreds had gathered. At one point, the crowd began shouting, “Burn it down, burn it down.” Soon after, a fence that was designed to keep trespassers out of the Third Precinct building was torn down. Robinson, along with other co-conspirators, breached the fence and entered the Third Precinct building. Robinson, assisted by an unidentified co-conspirator, lit a device held by the unidentified co-conspirator who threw it toward the Third Precinct building with the intent that it would start a fire or fuel an existing fire.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes the Democratic Party needs new leadership, telling The Intercept in an interview that it’s time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to go. But the left, she said, currently has no plan on how to fill the subsequent leadership vacuum.
“If you create that vacuum, there are so many nefarious forces at play to fill that vacuum with something even worse,” she told Jeremy Scahill during an interview aired Wednesday on Intercepted this week.
No one does more harm to journalism than people in journalism.
The Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin unveiled this week two awards honoring disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather.
“The Dan Rather Medals for News and Guts honor the process of journalism as much as the end product,” the organization announced Wednesday. “They will be awarded to professional and collegiate journalists who go the extra yard — overcoming obstacles like stonewalling and harassment — to get the story that tells truth to power.”
A spokesperson for the Moody College of Communication confirmed in a response to the Washington Examiner that the awards are, in fact, real and that they are not part of an elaborate joke.
Fox News contributors Lisa Boothe and Jessica Tarlov discuss allegations against NY Gov. Cuomo on ‘The Story’
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Justice Brett Kavanaugh were both accused of sexual misconduct without evidence, but the mainstream media only cared about one of the stories and critics believe this is simply the latest example of bias against conservatives.
New York City politico Lindsey Boylan alleged on Twitter Sunday that Cuomo “sexually harassed me for years,” but the story has been largely ignored by the mainstream media.
Hunter Biden lobbied since-vanished Chinese oil tycoon Ye Jianming to “quickly” wire him $10 million to help establish and fund his failed business venture SinoHawk Holdings in 2017, according to an email obtained by The Post.
In the June 18 email, the president-elect’s scandal-scarred son sent “best wishes from the entire Biden family” before outlining his expectations for their joint venture.
The trove of documents were among more than 900 made public by Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski who stepped forward in October with bombshell allegations that Joe Biden was intimately involved in his son’s plans to cash in overseas.

SOUTH BEND — City officials had planned since May 2016 to install traffic signals at the downtown intersection where an 11-year-old boy was struck and killed Monday, and activation was expected next week, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Tuesday.
Following a consultant’s 2015 study finding that vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the corner of South and Michigan streets didn’t warrant a traffic light, the city placed a bag over the light Feb. 1, 2016, as it did at a handful of downtown intersections.
The moves were part of the Smart Streets project to convert one-way streets to two-way traffic, an effort to make them more pedestrian-friendly.
After the city posted signs saying that traffic control measures at the corners were under study for removal, it decided to install new lights there for all four directions of traffic because of community feedback, Buttigieg said.

Fending off a messy fight that could damage Republicans ahead of Georgia Senate runoffs, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned fellow GOP senators not to join President Donald Trump’s extended assault on the Electoral College results.
In public remarks and private warnings on Tuesday, McConnell worked to push ahead to the Biden era and unite a fractured Republican Party ahead of the runoff elections that will determine Senate control.
On Tuesday, speaking at Okeechobee Steakhouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who has withstood barrages of criticism from the political Left for his refusal to implement harsh lockdowns, like many Democratic governors across the nation, asserted that restaurants will stay open in Florida. “We just want to send a message: Some may want to shut you down; we want to pull you up,” he said. “We’ve got your back.”
DeSantis began, “We’re happy to be here at Okeechobee Steakhouse to really send a message that at a time when folks in our service industries, particularly restaurants, lodging, and hospitality, have kind of taken it on the chin, particularly in other states, where they’ve been completely shut down. We just want to send a message: Some may want to shut you down; we want to pull you up. We’ve got your back.”
A Washington school district removed Asian students from their “students of color” category after data showed they were doing too well academically. Instead, they were lumped in with white students. It dramatically skewed the overall academic outlook for students of color.
The resulting data was used to imply students of color — minus Asians — were doing worse than white students. Those stats coincidentally supported the district’s progressive worldview, blaming a racist society for inequity.
Only after pushback did the district reverse course, pulling the document down from their website.
Asian student results skewed data. So they removed them.

Facebook took out full-page newspaper ads Wednesday slamming an Apple privacy update for the iPhone, claiming that it will threaten small businesses.
Apple plans to roll out changes to its iOS 14 software early next year that will require app developers to explicitly ask users for permission to track their data, a move aimed at shoring up privacy protections on mobile devices.
But Facebook claims the shift could cripple small businesses’ ability to effectively target digital ads that boost their revenues — an argument it made in the splashy print ads under the headline, “We’re standing up to Apple for small
