[NY Post] If this pic of the 15 yr old is up-to-date, I'm Trayvon Martin
A 15-year-old boy has died after he was shot 24 times near a Chicago gas station while he was out buying snacks, his family said. 24 times? Someone wanted him DRT Sincere Cole was fatally injured in the Chicago Lawn area Saturday night when the unidentified gunman opened fire, WGN9 reported.
Police haven’t yet revealed if they have any suspects, and the boy’s family are begging any witnesses to come forward.
"I’ve got to stand up here and scream from inside out and make sure I get the word out so he won’t be another name, another number, another tag," his aunt and legal guardian, Brandy Martin, said from the scene of the shooting.
Martin said she hopes surveillance footage from nearby stores and apartments will help solve the crime.
The grieving aunt said Sincere was a "lovable kid" who was often misunderstood after his mother, Felon Smith, was fatally struck by a Chicago Transit Authority train in 2019.
She described him as an "ambitious" child who had taken initiative to better his life. "He was an aspiring rapper, turning his life around"

[Free Beacon] An advocacy group is pressing financial giant Morgan Stanley to end an internship program open only to gay students and select minorities.
The Project on Fair Representation on Tuesday sent a letter to Morgan Stanley and Princeton University warning that identity-based criteria for the bank’s 2022 Freshman Enhancement Program violate federal nondiscrimination laws. The internship is open only to "Black, Hispanic, Native American, and/or LGBTQ+ freshman undergraduate student[s]," according to Morgan Stanley’s website. Princeton has allegedly encouraged its students to apply for the program, according to the letter.
"Morgan Stanley and Princeton are leading institutions in our culture," the letter reads. "What you do matters not only because it affects the individuals involved, but also because you set an influential example for others. Pandering to activists with ’diversity, equity, and inclusion’ initiatives like this internship program is actively harming and racializing our already divided country."
The program keeps with the uptick in race-based benefits in recent years. Following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, gig economy behemoths like Uber and Postmates waived delivery fees for black-owned restaurants. And public health agencies have encouraged providers to prioritize certain minority groups when distributing scarce COVID-19 therapeutics.
Morgan Stanley’s program appears to use race and sexual orientation in a wooden fashion. While a holistic review that considered race and sex among numerous other factors might survive a legal challenge, the bank’s website and outside materials that describe the program explicitly state that candidates must be gay, black, Hispanic, or Native American to apply.

COVID-19 contact tracing programs across the country are being scaled back as the omicron wave subsides.
Health departments are encouraging people to alert their close contacts themselves after testing positive, and those still working as contact tracers are focusing on the most vulnerable communities.
Now, scientists are working to make contact tracing more effective for the future.
"Maybe contact tracing wasn't successful, given the disease parameters and how COVID spread. But, in the future, there could be maybe a different disease that spreads in a slightly different way, and then contact tracing may be an extremely effective tool that's stopping the spread," said Saw Woo Nam, a physicist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology. "So, I think we just need to have these tools ready in case you know we have another pandemic."
Nam has been working on a radio system for contact tracing. The tiny devices can be worn, carried or mounted in areas with poor ventilation, like an elevator, to monitor the spread of disease.
The radio system devices, which use Bluetooth to communicate, help protect privacy because they're not linked to the person wearing them.
Nam also says the devices can be used in places where smartphones aren't continually monitored. cultural score, anyone?
"It could be easier to deploy, say, in nursing homes or in schools with children," Nam said. "Kids could carry it, it could be a little more organized so kids can run around the playground and not worry about whether it would break because they smashed it against something."
Nam estimates mass-producing the devices would cost less than $10 a unit. He also sees the potential for using it with animals in the future to stop the spread of disease in the food supply.

Last August, I wore such a device on my wrist during a cruise. The cruise line sent two people home and isolated a handful of 'close contacts'.
You did have to show your vax card to get on board, so the sick were an early 'breakthrough' case.

[Dallas Morning News] Throughout the pandemic, health experts have warned of the disastrous impacts from a severe flu season coupled with a COVID-19 surge on an already overwhelmed health care system.
And although people for some time feared "flurona," or getting the flu virus and COVID-19 at the same time, health experts say it’s been a relatively rare occurrence.
So far this year, Dallas County has had a mild flu season despite the rapid spread of the omicron variant of COVID-19 over the past several weeks. County and state trends mirror what’s been seen across the country — nationally, only 2.6% of all influenza tests since Oct. 3, 2021, have come back positive, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But how can the flu virus be so low when omicron was surging? Here’re some questions, and answers from the experts. Lots of expert guessing at link.

Bob Saget, 65, was found dead in his hotel room at The Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando after a stand-up show on January 9
On February 9, the family said he died of head trauma, adding he 'accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep'
Yet on February 11 the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola counties in Florida reported that Saget suffered severe skull fractures
Medical experts said the report showed far more significant injuries than a bump to the head, with injuries consistent with being hit by a baseball bat
On Tuesday Saget's family filed a lawsuit to block the release of records from the investigation of his sudden death

From what I gather the "hit by a baseball bat" statement comes from someone not involved in the actual autopsy.
Maybe we respect the family and forego the conspiracy theories on this one?

[Epoch Times] Authorities with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said bird influenza has now been detected in flocks of birds in Kentucky and Virginia, just days after the officials said that thousands of birds were sickened with the flu in Indiana.
This kind of thing happens fairly regularly, as far as I can tell. Israel had to kill off many of their chickens not long ago, as I recall.
In a statement, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service did not say whether the outbreak involved H5N1, the same highly pathogenic virus found extensively in wild birds and on the Indiana turkey farm.
Citing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the USDA said that "these avian influenza detections do not present an immediate public health concern."
"No human cases of these avian influenza viruses have been detected in the United States. As a reminder, the proper handling and cooking of poultry and eggs to an internal temperature of 165 [degrees] F kills bacteria and viruses," the agency added.
The disease is hitting the market as poultry supplies are down due to strong demand and labor shortages at meat plants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Government data showed U.S. frozen chicken supplies were down 14 percent from a year ago at the end of December while turkey inventories were down 23 percent.

The Worldometer "Serious/Critical" number has been falling every day since Jan. 24 and is now as low as it was Dec. 2.
The number of test to find one case is now about 10, which was pretty average until the Omicron spike, but a case turned up every five tests (more or less) in the middle of January. So I suppose that data more or less supports Tony's claim of a 44% drop in case positivity.
But what makes Tony think this trend will continue and not rebound before the midterms?

[Right Scoop] A man was reportedly kicked off an Allegiant Airlines flight this week because he’d written ’Let’s Go Brandon’ on his mask.
The incident was originally recorded yesterday by Dgotch on Tiktok and they noted in the video that this was about the passenger having the phrase on his mask.
It was then picked up by LibsofTiktok on Twitter and here we are.
WIKISponsorships - In July 2018, Allegiant became the official airline of Minor League Baseball (MiLB).[61] In September of the same year, Allegiant partnered with the National Hockey League's Vegas Golden Knights as the "Official Domestic Airline Partner".[62] On June 3, 2019 soccer club FC Cincinnati announced that they had entered a multiple-year agreement with Allegiant making them the club's official airline partner. The agreement includes club and stadium assets, game-day experience and more. Allegiant also offers its popular Fan Flyaway Program to FCC fans. FCC's TQL Stadium also has a entry gate named after the airline.[63] On August 5, 2019, Allegiant inked a 20-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) for the naming rights to the team's new home, Allegiant Stadium, in Paradise, Nevada.[64] Allegiant is also a main sponsor with GMS Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series. In January 2020, Allegiant became the official airline of the Indianapolis Colts.[65]
[IsraelTimes] Dozens of US paratroopers land at a Polish airport near the Ukrainian border as part of a deployment of several thousand to bolster NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... ’s eastern flank amid tensions with Russia.
AFP news hounds witness the soldiers leaving a Boeing C-17 military transport plane and boarding buses at Rzeszow Airport, located around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the border with Ukraine.
Another group of soldiers, around a dozen, board two Black Hawk helicopters that then took off. Two Chinook helicopters are also seen landing.
Armored cars, military trucks, containers and dozens more soldiers are seen at a makeshift camp set up in and around a glass-covered conference center opposite the airport terminal.
"We don’t know yet," a sergeant manning a checkpoint into the camp, who declined to be named, tells AFP when asked how long they might stay.
The US has said it is planning temporarily to deploy a total of around 4,700 additional soldiers to EU and NATO member Poland in response to Russia’s troop buildup around Ukraine.

Look at his eyes. Read his body language. Even his words are unmistakable: he wants a diplomatic solution, which requires a formal end to Ukraine's "NATO ambitions."
As predicted. The diplomatic solution will be couched in terms of "INDEPENDENCE" for Ukraine.
Russia Will interpret "independence"to mean no NATO membership for Ukraine. Ukraine will accept that.
And the US will pretend that "independence" means no Russian domination of Ukraine.
Everyone will accept that. And like it, and climb down, the way we and the Chinese have avoided war for 50 years thanks to our diplomatic sleight of hand about Taiwan and "one China."

[IsraelTimes] Three US Navy aircraft were intercepted by Russian planes in an "unprofessional" manner over the Mediterranean Sea last weekend, the Pentagon says.
"While no one was hurt, interactions such as these could result in miscalculations and mistakes that lead to more dangerous outcomes," US Navy Captain Mike Kafka says in a statement.
The three P-8A maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft "experienced unprofessional intercepts by Russian aircraft" while "flying in international airspace over the Mediterranean Sea," Kafka says.
He says the United States has "made our concerns known to Russian officials through diplomatic channels."
According to a US official who asked to remain anonymous, one of the Russian planes came dangerously close to a US aircraft.
That little thing like the excavations in in Donetsk, reported well before this latest shit show began-- that stuff is all bullshit.
[NewsFrontInfo] White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Russian reports about the discovery of mass graves of civilians in the Donbass may be disinformation, according to Twitter White House.
Psaki believes that a Russian "attack" is "possible at any moment" and will be preceded by a “manufactured pretext that Russia is using to invade,” which could be “allegations of provocations in the Donbass” and false state media reports. And I believe Jen Psaki will someday come to my home and give me a custom lap dance.Doesn't mean it's the Gospel Truth.
One can only hope you’re wrong. Do you know where her bottom has been?
It is worth recalling that the Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the use of prohibited means and methods of war after the discovery of mass graves of civilians in the Donbass. According to the agency, in August-October 2021 five spontaneous mass graves were discovered in the area of several settlements, from which the remains of at least 295 civilians were exhumed, including women who died as a result of shelling by Ukrainian armed forces in 2014.
The department also stressed that since April 2014, Ukrainian security forces have been neglecting international agreements and have been shelling settlements in Donbass, using weapons designed to most effectively destroy people and infrastructure. The result of such strikes was not only destroyed residential buildings and social facilities, but also the death and injury of thousands of civilians, Russian-speaking groups that did not take part in the conflict.
[PJMedia] “Hello GiveSendGo Grifters and Hatriots," read the screen after organized hackers crashed the site, plundered data, and leaked the names of 98,000 people who gave money to the Freedom Convoy truckers via the crowdfunding website.
Canada’s government-sponsored news media, CBC, began reporting details of the plunder soon thereafter. Indeed, the government journalists are reportedly emailing people who gave money to the fund to demand they explain themselves.
Rebel News reported that CBC news hounds were "doxxing Trudeau’s political opponents. They’re teeing them up for financial punishments. This is not journalism, any more than Der Sturmer or Pravda was journalism."
The GiveSendGo crowdfunding website was disabled for two days after the hack.
GiveSendGo’s website has been restored.
CBC reports that about 56% of the donors to the website come from the United States. It’s unclear what their legal liability is under Trudeau’s Emergency Act, but you can bet Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan... will help him.
The hack came after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the same country that once produced McKenzie King... and his cabinet announced that, under terrorism laws, they would freeze all bank accounts and halt insurance to Canadian truckers who participated in the protests. Government media outlet CBC reported that, starting immediately, the federal government declared "crowdfunding and payment services providers must register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC)."
Following this announcement, Trudeau invoked the Emergency Act, in which he took over all policing and arrogated to himself the power to change all laws by fiat.
