This is rather inexcusable. The University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, decided to televise COVID-19 vaccines for staff members. I am sure the leaders’ intentions were good. Showing medical workers taking the vaccine helps to increase confidence in the process and may encourage those hesitant to receive it.
However, if you watch this video of this vaccination, the syringe is clearly empty. The black plunger is fully depressed when the person administering it correctly pulls back on it. The vaccine is an intramuscular, or “IM,” injection. When you give someone an IM injection, you pull back slightly to ensure you have not mistakenly entered a blood vessel.
2017 letter asked chairman to ‘properly fund and operate’ Biden joint venture with Chinese energy company
Correspondence between Hunter Biden and CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming from 2017 shows President-elect Joe Biden’s son extending “best wishes from the entire Biden family,” and urging the chairman to “quickly” send a $10 million wire to “properly fund and operate” the Biden joint venture with the now-bankrupt Chinese energy company.
The $10 million transfer to the joint venture was never completed.
Fox News obtained an email Hunter Biden sent on June 18, 2017, to Zhao Runlong at CEFC, asking that they please “translate my letter to Chairman Ye, please extend my warmest best wishes and that I hope to see the Chairman soon.” Read More
“I also hope you realize just the opportunity here that Allah has given us to show the power of Muslims in Georgia,” said Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) told voters Sunday that Georgia’s Senate runoff elections are an opportunity given by Allah to demonstrate the power of Muslims.
Tlaib made the comments in a virtual vote-a-thon event hosted by the Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project (GAMVP) on the eve of the first day of early voting. ‘
“As Muslims, I know that since 9-11 so many of us have risen up and said you might push us to live on the margins of society, you might vilify us, and you might silence us, but we internally are going to fight against that and we’re going to show up and participate in ways that nobody really expected us to,” Omar said.
Anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, who was also a speaker at the event, said she will be knocking on doors in Georgia to help turn out the vote for Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Read More

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday he was certain the incoming US administration will return to its nuclear deal commitments and lift crippling sanctions on his country.
“I have no doubt that the three-year resistance of the Iranian people will persuade the future American government to return to its commitments and the sanctions will be broken,” Rouhani said.
US President Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers in 2018 and imposed new sanctions.
President-elect Joe Biden’s coming to power has raised the possibility that Washington could rejoin the agreement. Read More

2020 has been an awesome year for Corporate America, but not so much for Working America.
The big picture: 45 of America’s 50 biggest publicly traded companies have turned profits since March, while nearly 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since June, the WashPost reports in a pair of striking stories.
“At least 27 of the 50 largest firms held layoffs this year, collectively cutting more than 100,000 workers,” according to a WashPost analysis.
“[T]he increase in poverty this year … is the biggest jump in a single year since the government began tracking poverty 60 years ago. It is nearly double the next-largest rise, which occurred in 1979-1980 during the oil crisis,” reports WashPost’s Heather Long.
That gap extends to CEOs versus regular consumers, Axios’ Dion Rabouin reported earlier this week.
CEO confidence in Q3 was 48% higher than at the beginning of 2019.
Consumer confidence was 16% lower than in January 2019.
Between the lines: The expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits played a big part in the poverty spike, economists told The Post.
The bottom line: “These are times when the strong can get stronger,” Nike CEO John Donahoe said in September. Read More
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a briefing on Rep. Eric Swalwell’s reported ties to a Chinese spy and the agency has canceled two times.
“Swalwell is a national security liability. This is too important for the FBI to continue to stonewall,” he tweeted.
I have asked the FBI for a briefing on Rep. Swalwell’s ties to a reported-spy from China. Twice it has been scheduled. Twice it has been canceled by the FBI. Swalwell is a national security liability. This is too important for the FBI to continue to stonewall. Read more
Former MK Gideon Saar on Thursday morning registered his new party with the Registrar of Parties. The party requested the name “New Hope – Unity for Israel.”
It should be noted that in doing so, Saar finally decided in favor of establishing his own political platform and setting aside the possibility of running in the elections on the base of the Derech Eretz party of Yoaz Hendel and Zvi Hauser.

In the application for registration, the goals of the party were stated, including:
Activity for the realization of the natural and historical rights of the Jewish People in the Land of Israel.
Establishing the identity of Israel as the state of the Jewish people, whose government is democratic, protecting its values as the nation state of the Jewish people, which upholds human rights and practices equal rights for individuals.
– Promoting the education system and making it one of the leading education systems in the world, while emphasizing excellence, reducing gaps and providing equal opportunity for every child, strengthening the status of teacher and educator in Israeli society.
– Development of the country, encouraging policies of population dispersal and strengthening of the social and geographical periphery. Encouraging settlement and agriculture in the Galilee and the Negev, in Samaria and Judea, and on the eastern border – from the Golan Heights, along the
the Jordan and the Arava to Eilat.
– A free market economy while ensuring fair opportunity for all and a commitment to concern for others.
-Promoting reforms in all state authorities, including law enforcement and judicial systems. Read More
A healthcare worker in Alaska was hospitalized on Tuesday with a ‘serious allergic reaction’ after receiving Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, according to the New York Times.
The person, who had no known drug allergies, was still in the hospital on Wednesday morning under observation, according to the report. It is unknown whether they suffer from any other types of allergies. The Alaska resident’s reaction was reportedly similar to anaphylactic reactions two heal workers in Britain experience after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine last week – both of whom have recovered. Of note, they both had a history of severe allergies. One, a 49-year-old woman, is allergic to eggs (which Pfizer says are not in their vaccine). The other, a 40-year-old woman is allergic to several different medications. Both routinely carry EpiPenn-like devices in case of reactions.
After the workers in Britain fell ill, authorities there initially warned against giving the vaccines to anyone with a history of severe allergic reactions. They later clarified their concerns, changing the wording from “severe allergic reactions” to specify that the vaccine should not be given to anyone who has ever had an anaphylactic reaction to a food, medicine or vaccine. That type of reaction to a vaccine is “very rare,” they said. –NYT
