The coronavirus will “magically, all of a sudden go away and disappear and everyone will be able to reopen” after election day, according to Eric Trump.
The president’s middle son accused the Democratic Party of engineering the coronavirus pandemic to keep his father from hosting campaign rallies, he said during an appearance on Fox News Saturday. According to Eric Trump, the virus will disappear after election day, November 3.
However, the comments stand in direct opposition to statements from public health officials on both the origin and the trajectory of the virus. Most anticipate a larger second wave of new coronavirus infections in the fall and winter.
President Donald Trump briefly emerged Tuesday to tout the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaking 30,000 for the first time ever, and then vanished after a minute without taking questions.
The president’s mini-appearance, perhaps his shortest-ever remarks from the lectern of the White House briefing room, came less than a day after his administration took a major step toward the transition to Joe Biden’s presidency.
“Biden’s climate response leadership had Greta Thunberg tweeting.
President-elect Joe Biden said Monday that former Secretary of State John Kerry would serve as his Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, an announcement that provoked a range of responses from climate campaigners—many who broadly saw the pick as encouraging and others who warned the politically moderate statesman is a troubling choice to address the planetary emergency facing humanity.
The post, which will not require Senate confirmation, is within the National Security Council and is being referred to as “climate czar.”
“This marks the first time that the NSC will include an official dedicated to climate change, reflecting the president-elect’s commitment to addressing climate change as an urgent national security issue,” the transition team said in statement.
The statement pointed to Kerry’s background as “a key architect of the Paris Climate Accord,” from which President Donald Trump withdrew and Biden has pledged to rejoin.
“CHICAGO: Singaporean blogger Amos Yee pleaded not guilty in a Chicago court on Tuesday (Nov 24) to all charges related to his arrest for child pornography, according to court officials.
Yee, who remained on Tuesday in Chicago’s Cook County jail on a US$1 million bond, entered his plea before Judge Carol Howard, nearly three weeks after a grand jury formally indicted him.
In the remote hearing from the Leighton Criminal Courthouse, Yee was represented at his arraignment by a public defender. He will next appear on Dec 18, court officials said.”
Of course…the down side to not taking a plea deal, is that if they’re going to have to put on an entire trial…they’ll usually seek the maximum penalties the law says they are allowed to inflict.
I don’t blame anyone for fighting something they see as unjust…but if the prosecution has what they say they have as evidence…It’s simply over for Amos…This will be a slam dunk, open and closed trial…He will be convicted, no doubt about that…and probably sentenced to at least a few decades in prison…Even if he does manage to get released early, they’ll likely hand him over to Singapore…and we aren’t likely to hear from Amos Yee ever again, once the trial is over.
Take note…
…This is what “going down really hard” looks like, when you lack self restraint and foresight.
“Under US law, when a person is indicted, he is given formal notice that it is believed that he committed a crime. The accused is then arraigned, during which he is read the charges in the indictment and is asked to enter a plea.
“The grand jury has indicted you on this case,” Judge Charles Beach told Yee during Wednesday’s remote hearing from the Leighton Criminal Courthouse in Chicago. The judge said that the “defendant demands trial”.
Yee did not speak, except to say “thank you” to the judge.”
“Yee, 20, appeared at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse for a bond hearing on Friday, the newspaper said.
The Chicago Sun-Times cited Cook County prosecutors as saying that the messages Yee exchanged with the girl between April and July last year included nude photos he had requested from her. He had also sent nude photos of himself to the girl, said the newspaper.”

“Medieval peasants didn’t exactly have it easy. Aside from the endless wars, the abject poverty, and the occasional plague, they had to get by on a relatively meagre diet. But just what did they actually rustle up for dinner? Here’s what medieval peasants really ate in a day.
Here’s a question: how does anyone actually know what peasants ate in the medieval era? After all, it’s not like peasants were keeping detailed records of their daily lives. In fact, it’s been estimated that, even in the later years of the Middle Ages, only around 10 percent of men and one percent of women were literate. And those that were literate weren’t really writing about their breakfast, lunch, or dinner — so researchers have had to get creative.
For example, in 2019, a study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science took samples of medieval pottery from West Cotton, Northamptonshire and analyzed the residue left inside. The molecular analysis allowed them to put together a picture of what was cooked inside.
What did they find? Well, the staples were meat — mostly sheep and cattle — as well as cabbage stews, cooked in the pots over an open hearth. There were also a lot of dairy products, which the study notes were affectionately referred to as “white meats of the poor.”
A few years ago, English Heritage followed a reenactor as she made a traditional medieval stew, and it’ll actually look pretty familiar to 21st-century cooks. Meat was first browned over an open fire, then transferred to a large dish. Carrots, onions, and any other available veg were added, as well as a little cider. It was sometimes seasoned with whatever herbs could be foraged, then barley was added, too — a staple grain in peasant diets. That was then left to cook over an open fire or a hearth. Doesn’t sound so awful, does it?
