It may be a new year for much of the world, but the poisonous stench of previous years remains with the U.N. (United Nations) and its money-pit tentacles. One of these infected appendages is the U.N.’s Human Rights Council
Ex-FDA head predicts new COVID-19 strain will be ‘majority’ of US cases by March
Former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb on Sunday predicted that the contagious, new strain of COVID-19 will account for the “majority” of cases in the US by March.
“There are some estimates that the new variant probably represents about 1 percent of all infections in this country. By March, it’s going to be the majority of infections,” Gottlieb said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Gottlieb said it will “grow quickly” and its arrival adds more pressure to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are distributed as soon as possible.

A 33-metre reinforced concrete vagina has sparked a Bolsonarian backlash in Brazil, with supporters of the country’s far-right president clashing with leftwing art admirers over the installation.

US: “Not Now One of the World’s Better-Functioning Democracies”
November 3, 2020. New York. Midnight. A reporter on television said that election vote counting had been stopped in several states. At this point, President Donald J. Trump seemed in a position to win and easily to have a second term. Commenting a bit later, he said, “We did win,” but added a warning: “We don’t want them to find any ballot at four o clock in the morning”. By morning, everything had changed. Thousands more ballots had appeared. States where Trump had a clear lead displayed different results. Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have won.
Three days later, on November 7, Biden delivered a victory speech. Trump repeated, “I won this election”. He added, “by a lot”.
China lab leak is the ‘most credible’ source of the coronavirus outbreak, says top US government official, amid bombshell claims Wuhan scientist has turned whistleblower
One of America’s most senior government officials says the most ‘credible’ theory about the origin of coronavirus is that it escaped from a laboratory in China.
Matthew Pottinger, who is President Donald Trump’s respected Deputy National Security Adviser, told politicians from around the world that even China’s leaders now openly admit their previous claims that the virus originated in a Wuhan market are false.
Mr Pottinger said that the latest intelligence points to the virus leaking from the top-secret Wuhan Institute of Virology, 11 miles from the market, saying: ‘There is a growing body of evidence that the lab is likely the most credible source of the virus.’
Delingpole: ‘I Don‘t Care‘ About Jet-Setting Climate Hypocrites, Says Greta
Doom Goblin Greta Thunberg has giving her blessing to everyone who wants to fly in 2021 – even, or perhaps especially, if they are a rich, preachy, jet-setting climate hypocrite.
Interviewed in the Sunday Times (of London), the pigtailed, anorak-wearing school dropout tells a fawning reporter that she “doesn’t care” about “celebrities who talk about the environment while flying around the world”:
The real reason WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange shouldn’t be pardoned
For years, Julian Assange was an icon to the cultural and political left. Benedict Cumberbatch played him as a kind of sexy superspy for the cyber age in “The Fifth Estate,” back in 2013. Assange was depicted as a dashing “whistleblower” and hero. A French fashion magazine called him one of the 20 best-dressed men in the world, and Time magazine hailed him as one of the most influential people in the world in 2011.
Professional Sports Experienced Steep Fall in Ratings and Revenue in 2020
Sports industry profits dropped by billions of dollars in 2020 across major leagues as the CCP virus pandemic caused stadiums to close up.
Despite larger amounts of people staying home due to lockdowns, TV ratings also plummeted remarkably—to about an average of half of last year’s figure.
Front Office Sports reported that the league that suffered the greatest was the MLB at $5.2 billion. The league was widely criticized for appeasing to the Marxist-inspired Black Lives Matter and other leftist movements.
Locally the tone deaf Toronto Raptors have been running an ad that opens with a shot of a Black Lives Matter banner. Imagine that, the wealthy and privileged running ads for a communist race-hate group. Maybe the Leafs will run an ad for the KKK.

Government could change rules after outcry over aid for quarantining vacationers
MONTREAL — A federal cabinet minister hinted that changes could be coming to the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit after an outcry over aid money being given to vacationers who left Canada despite public health recommendations.
On Saturday, Employment and Social Development Minister Carla Qualtrough suggested changes are coming in a statement posted to Twitter.
“The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit was never intended to incentivize or encourage Canadians to not follow public health or international travel guidelines,” the statement read. “We continue to strongly urge Canadians to avoid non-essential travel.”

COVID: Special privileges for the vaccinated?
The German government has come out against giving those who have received the coronavirus vaccine special rights and privileges. But the business incentive could take the decision out of their hands.
Just 24 hours into the European Union’s continentwide rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine, leading physicians and politicians are arguing over its moral and societal implications.
Frank Ulrich Montgomery, current president of the World Medical Association, and Thomas Mertens, virologist and head of Germany’s Standing Commission on Vaccination (STIKO), have suggested that people who have been immunized against COVID-19 could one day use a vaccine “passport” to get access to flights, restaurants, concerts, and cinemas.

In the controversial clip an aged man in a white robe, with white hair and a long white beard, is seen being dragged away from a courthouse and into a police vehicle by a member of the Irish police.
