And like that, COVID is basically over.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may soon shorten the recommended quarantine period for possible exposure to COVID-19 — in the hopes that more people will follow the advice, a report said Tuesday.
The agency is finalizing plans to cut down the suggested 14-day self-isolation period to between seven and 10 days, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The new guidelines would include a test to ensure a person quarantining is negative for the coronavirus, Henry Walke, a senior CDC official, told the newspaper.
“We do think that the work that we’ve done, and some of the studies we have and the modeling data that we have, shows that we can with testing shorten quarantine,” Walke told the outlet.
“Hopefully, people would be better able to adhere to quarantine if it was, for example, seven to 10 days.”

The national conservative group Amistad Project filed an emergency petition Tuesday with the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state’s unofficial results in the 2020 presidential election, saying it has identified over 150,000 potentially fraudulent ballots.
Results from the Nov. 3 balloting in the state show Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeated President Trump by a roughly 20,000-vote margin.
Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said the number of potentially fraudulent ballots identified are “more than enough to call into question the validity of the state’s reported election results.”
“Moreover, these discrepancies were a direct result of Wisconsin election officials’ willful violation of state law,” he also said.

The left-wing news media didn’t just poison the information environment with their incessantly negative coverage of President Trump going into the 2020 election. They also refused to give airtime to important arguments of the Republican campaign — both pro-Trump and anti-Biden — which meant millions of voters cast their ballots knowing only what the media permitted them to know about the candidates.
To measure the true effect of the media’s censorship on the election, the Media Research Center asked The Polling Company to survey 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), six of which (all but North Carolina) were called for Biden (survey details below). We tested these voters’ knowledge of eight news stories — all important topics that our ongoing analysis had shown the liberal news media had failed to cover properly. We found that a huge majority (82%) of Biden voters were unaware of at least one of these key items, with five percent saying they were unaware of all eight of the issues we tested.

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in an op-ed on Monday that he hopes President-elect Joe Biden will take “America First” out of the national security strategy for his incoming administration.
Mattis penned the op-ed, titled “Defense in Depth,” for Foreign Affairs with Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Jim Ellis, a fellow at the Hoover Institution and former commander of U.S. Strategic Command, and Joe Felter, a fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday unveiled his new Thanksgiving attire — a turkey face mask that, the governor quipped, actually made him look better.
Cuomo donned the brown-colored face covering, complete with turkey eyes and a beak, along with the state Department of Health logo on it during a press conference in Wyandanch, Long Island.
The mask reads: “Don’t be a turkey” and “Wear a mask.”
“We have a special mask for Thanksgiving because, you know, we’re all so creative in New York and we do things a little different,” the governor said as he held up the mask. “Don’t be a turkey this Thanksgiving, wear a mask!”

Their response? Why aren’t you conceding? But they’re not activists or anything. Then Karl makes it clear that he’s only wearing a mask for the cameras, as he rips it off after Trump leaves the room, to heck with indoors or close quarters.
Blinken knows everything about Joe and Hunter, so naturally it’s Blinken who gets the Sec of State nod. Blinken was also the guy who Hunter called in the State Department after Burisma was raided, according to Lindsey Graham’s letter. So if Joe never spoke about his son’s business with him, why was his right hand, Blinken always meeting with Hunter? What were they talking about?
Via Fox News:
New Secretary of State pick Antony Blinken has a long-standing relationship with President-elect Joe Biden going back to their days in the Obama administration, but State Department emails revealed that during that time Blinken appeared to have made a connection with Hunter Biden as well.
In the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, Hunter Biden was the subject of reports about business dealings in Ukraine and China and possible links to his father. Records show that the younger Biden also had ties to Blinken, having scheduled meetings with him while he was on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and Blinken was deputy secretary of state.
“Have a few minutes next week to grab a cup of coffee? I know you are impossibly busy, but would like to get your advice on a couple of things,” Hunter Biden said in a May 22, 2015 email to Blinken that the State Department released in 2019, pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Joshua Wong and two other prominent pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been taken into police custody after pleading guilty to charges related to last year’s anti-government protests.
Wong, 24, was not a leading figure in last year’s pro-democracy protests that overtook the city. Still, being a famous face for the movement, Wong continued to draw the ire of the Chinese Communist Party, becoming a target in Beijing’s dismantling of the city’s promised political autonomy.
Prosecutors charged Wong, along with fellow activists Ivan Lam and Agnes Chow, with organizing and knowingly inciting an unauthorized assembly. The charges stemmed from a demonstration that took place outside Hong Kong police headquarters in June of last year, at the height of the protests.
Ahead of the hearing, Wong told reporters that China’s efforts to crack down on dissent would not stop their pro-democracy work.

About 1 million Americans a day packed airports and planes over the weekend even as coronavirus deaths surged across the U.S. and public health experts begged people to stay home and avoid big Thanksgiving gatherings.
And the crowds are only expected to grow. Next Sunday is likely to be the busiest day of the holiday period.
To be sure, the number of people flying for Thanksgiving is down by more than half from last year because of the rapidly worsening outbreak. However, the 3 million who went through U.S. airport checkpoints from Friday through Sunday marked the biggest crowds since mid-March, when the COVID-19 crisis took hold in the United States.
No objections from leftists or any of the liberal media who went after Trump incessantly over them.
Presumed President-elect Joseph R. Biden said Monday he wants Alejandro Mayorkas to lead the Homeland Security Department, tapping an Obama-era mainstay who helped create the DACA program that protected “Dreamers,” but was also part of the team that expanded family detention.
Mr. Mayorkas, born in Cuba, would be the first Hispanic person and first immigrant to head the department, created in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
He brings extensive experience at DHS, having served as chief at the legal-immigration agency and then deputy secretary for the entire department.
But his more than seven years in office also saw their share of controversy, with an inspector general finding he delivered favors in granting immigration visas at the request of high-powered Democrats. That’s likely to draw attention from Republicans.
He also was deputy secretary, under Secretary Jeh Johnson, when the department grappled with the first surge of migrant children and families in 2014 and 2015. The department dramatically expanded family detention — from 100 beds to 3,000 — and built the chain-link fence pens, now derided as “cages,” used to hold immigrants who were in the country illegally at the border.
In a healthy and well adjusted society, this video would end with the police breaking down the door and hauling every adult away in handcuffs. We do not live in such a society.

On Monday, a disturbing clip from a recently released HBO documentary went viral. In the scene, congregants at a unitarian universalist church are invited by the female pastor to “proclaim their identity publicly as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning, intersex, pansexual, asexual, or any category I’ve left out.”
A mother then pulls her young son (four years old, it turns out) onto the stage to announce that he’s really a girl. But the poor child appears to have no interest in being paraded around like his mother’s show pony. He hands the microphone back. “I don’t want to do it,” he protests. The mother takes it upon herself to come out on her son’s behalf, informing the audience that her boy, Phoenix, “would like you to know that she’s a girl and she prefers she and her pronouns.”

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson told reporters Tuesday he was “convinced” that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, 77, does not have the cognitive ability to be commander-in-chief.
“I’m pretty familiar with what it takes both physically and cognitively to do that job and what the demands of that job are,” Jackson, 53, who is currently running for Congress as a Republican, said on a call organized by the Trump campaign.
“As a citizen, not as a candidate running for Congress, but as a citizen of this country, I’ve watched Joe Biden on the campaign trail and I am concerned and convinced that he does not have the mental capacity, the cognitive ability, to serve as our commander-in-chief and our head of state,” he went on.

Pope Francis defended the protests against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death as a fight for “human dignity” — while blasting demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions in a new book that he authored during the Vatican’s lockdown.
In the book “Let Us Dream,” the 83-year-old pontiff addressed the killing of Floyd, a black man who died after a Minneapolis cop pressed his knee on his neck for several minutes.
“Abuse is a gross violation of human dignity that we cannot allow and which we must continue to struggle against,” he wrote of Floyd and the wave of protests that erupted across the world after his death.
But the pontifex criticized others demonstrating against COVID-19 lockdowns “as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom!”

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Georgia, said in 2017 that the nation’s “pre-existing condition” is “racism,” according to a report.
Warnock, the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta who is trying to unseat Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a Jan. 5 runoff election, made the comments in June 2017 at a New Baptist Covenant event, Breitbart News reported on Monday.
“We are in a special moment. We are in an evil moment. We are in a tragic moment, and I suggest to you that our politics is symptomatic of our sickness,” Warnock said, according to a newly revealed clip of his speech. “We’ve got a lot of problems, but I would not be a prophet if I did not tell you that racism is America’s preexisting condition.”

Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein will reportedly step down as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Three people familiar say she will step down soon, according to Politico. A number of Democratic senators reportedly criticized Feinstein, saying she was not the right person to serve as the top Democrat for the Supreme Court nomination hearings of now-Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also said he had a “long and serious” talk with Feinstein after the hearings.
In a Politico article published in late September, Democratic senators heavily criticized Feinstein while speaking on the condition of anonymity. One of the senators even allegedly said there is no way Feinstein could pull off leading the hearings for Democrats.

There are a lot of Jews in New York. Approximately 13% of New York City’s population is Jewish, and it’s the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel, with well over a million living in the five boroughs of New York City. Jewish culture is sewn into the very fabric of the city.
Then why, you may ask, does New York Governor Andrew Cuomo single Jewish communities out for criticism so much?

Online learning is causing a serious drop in academic achievement in Virginia’s largest school system, according to a Fairfax County Public Schools study, and the most vulnerable students — those with disabilities and English-language learners — are struggling the most.
Between the last academic year and this one, which for most students is taking place remotely, the percentage of F’s earned by middle school and high school students jumped from 6 percent of all grades to 11 percent — representing an overall increase of 83 percent from 2019 to 2020. Younger students were more seriously affected than older ones: Middle-schoolers reported an overall 300 percent increase in F’s, while high-schoolers reported a 50 percent increase.
The effects were particularly pronounced among students with disabilities, who saw their percentage of F’s increase by 111 percent to account for nearly 20 percent of all grades achieved, and among children for whom English is a second language: Their percentage of F’s rose by 106 percent to account for 35 percent of all grades achieved.
