FAUCI IS SINGING A DIFFERENT SONG ON VACCINE MANDATES

Story by Jon Miltimore • 2hNew data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show COVID-19 cases are again rising in some parts of the country.

The CDC’s map indicates that several states are experiencing a “substantial increase” in cases (more than 20%), including Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska, which saw a 57.3% spike from the previous week.

The local surges in COVID are a reminder that although the pandemic is over for many of us mentally, the virus continues to take its toll. Throughout September and October, more than a hundred Americans died every day from COVID on average, according to statistics. And history suggests those numbers will increase sharply during the winter months of January and February.

Despite this, there is little talk of reinstating the various draconian measures the government used to enforce compliance from 2020 to 2022. Indeed, even Dr. Anthony Fauci is singing a different tune.

Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is now a professor at Georgetown University. But the man who was the architect of the government's pandemic response still occasionally moonlights as a pundit on the television circuit, and in recent months, Fauci’s policy prescriptions have taken a stark turn. Fauci is singing a different song on vaccine mandates (msn.com)

MIRANDA DEVINE---NEW FILM GIVES REEL TRUTH IN THE FACE OF GEORGE FLOYD LIES

It’s a self-protective aspect of human nature to put aside painful memories, and that’s what most of us have done about the murderous riots in the summer of 2020 that were sparked by George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

But for the people of that fallen city, and for all the cops across the nation who were abandoned and betrayed by their feckless political leaders, the pain still burns bright.  MORE AT New film provides truth in the face of George Floyd lies (nypost.com)

ABOUT THOSE BATTERIES, FIRES, E-BIKES AND MORE

Eric Adams ran for office on a public-safety platform two years ago.

His crime record is mixed, but public safety isn’t just crime: E-bike and e-scooter battery-fire deaths are reaching “staggering” levels, his fire commissioner says.

So it’s not good the unrelated corruption suspicions swirling around the mayor involve . . . pressuring the FDNY to ignore safety rules, rules that inconvenienced donors and their friends.

The familiar story unfolded again last week: A powerful fire obliterated a Brooklyn brownstone.

Three people from three generations of the West family, ages 33 to 81, perished. 

As has become common over three years, the cause was a battery charging an e-scooter, blocking exits. 

So far, 17 of this year’s 93 fire deaths are from such batteries. MORE AT When will NYC do something about the 'staggering' number of e-bike fire deaths? (nypost.com)

BABES IN TOYLAND---A THANKSGIVING TRADITION

For many families, watching BABES IN TOYLAND---also known as the MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS---is a Thanksgiving tradition. (In 2023, it will be on WPIX ---see ‘March of the Wooden Soldiers’ to air on PIX11 this Thanksgiving 2023 | PIX11)

For those who don't know, this is a Laurel and Hardy musical Christmas film released on November 30, 1934. The film is also known by the alternative titles Laurel and Hardy in Toyland, Revenge Is Sweet (the 1948 European reissue title), and March of the Wooden Soldiers (in the United States). You can read more about it here.

Our friends at European Film star Postcards have a wonderful post on Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy; you can check it out here.

The actor who played the miserly Silas Barnaby--(a character based on the English nursery rhyme "There Was A Crooked Man" contrary to other curious assertions you may have seen elsewhere) was Henry Brandon. Read more about him here.

The film is also available on AMAZON...BLU-RAY https://amzn.to/3lEd0da
