Chris Cuomo allegedly attacked a female ABC News temp worker when she denied his proposition for sex during a "lunch" in his office, it was revealed on Tuesday.

The accusation was made to CNN lawyers in December hours after Cuomo was suspended for advising his brother, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, how to dodge his own sexual harassment accusations, according to the New York Times. The CNN host was fired days later.

The unnamed accuser had come forward after Chris Cuomo was suspended from the network on Nov. 30 for helping Gov. Cuomo try to beat back the multiple allegations that ultimately ended his political career, the report said.

Comment: The Cuomos are a family of scumbags.

Best of the Web: NYT backs the truckers now? 'Allowing nonviolent protest important in polarized society,' reminds Trudeau he supported farmers blocking highways in India

The New York Times Editorial Board has taken a stance in support of Canadian truckers' right to protest, saying that peaceful demonstrations are a vital part of democracy.
The New York Times Editorial Board has taken a stance in support of Canadian truckers' right to protest, saying that peaceful demonstrations are a vital part of democracy.

The Freedom Convoy protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which have brought Ottawa to a standstill for more than two weeks, have sharply divided opinion in the US.

Conservatives have tended to cheer on the demonstrators, while many liberal pundits have issued calls for a swift and harsh crackdown on the protests by any means necessary.

Comment: Credit where credit is due. There's not much to praise the NYT for these days, but at least on this issue, they seem to have come out in the right. It seems the NYT couldn't survive the cognitive dissonance required to condemn the truckers while praising liberal-progressive protests. Either that or their polling showed they were largely in disagreement with their audience on the issue.

Firearms may be planted in Ottawa to discredit protest, convoy organizers warn

A convoy of truckers started off from Vancouver on Jan. 23, 2022, on its way to protest against the mandate in the capital city of Ottawa.
Organizers of the Freedom Convoy in the Canadian capital say they have notified police after being told that "nefarious elements" are planning to plant weapons at the Ottawa COVID-19 mandate demonstrations as a "pretext to forcibly remove peaceful protestors."

In a video posted on social media on Feb. 14, Daniel Bulford, a former RCMP officer who is helping the protest organizers with security, said they have received information from sources they consider to be "reliable" that the weapons may be planted.


The information, Bulford said, correlates with the more than 2,000 firearms that were stolen in Peterborough, Ont., on the morning of Feb. 13.

Peterborough Police Service officers had said they are investigating the incident regarding the stolen firearms, which were taken from a trucking yard in the city in the early hours of the morning.

The truck and trailer were carrying more than 2,000 firearms with magazines. Officials said no ammunition was taken.

"Progressive" school COVID policies no longer welcome in the capital of progressivism.

If you thought Democratic politicians were moving unusually fast this month to dismantle the same COVID-19 restrictions they spent two years erecting, just wait until they fully absorb the reality of yesterday's historic landslide recall of three supervisors from the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), largely over the issue of extended pandemic school closures.

Board of Education President Gabriela López, Vice President Faauuga Moliga, and controversial former vice president Alison Collins were sent packing by margins of more than 44 percentage points each in the same Democratic stronghold that once launched the political careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Comment:


And the ousted board members are sticking hard to their rhetoric, instead of maybe doing some long hard introspection:

Celebrities Can Go Maskless At The Super Bowl But Your Kids Still Have To Wear One At School

Celebrities. At Super Bowl LVI
Every year the Super Bowl gathers all of the world's most well-known celebrities. At Super Bowl LVI, we saw the likes of Kanye West, Justin Bieber, and Ellen DeGeneres gather to watch the Rams vs. Bengals. Of course, they were all unmasked.

Here we are, two full years into the coronavirus pandemic, and there are still counties in the U.S. that require children to wear masks to school full-time. States like California, Colorado, and Massachusetts have implemented policies that demand students keep their faces covered for eight hours a day — but all the major celebrities can waltz around mask-free at the Super Bowl on February 13.

Comment: The elites prove to us yet again that this virus is not a real danger to any healthy person and that all these fascistic and sadistic measures are not about our protection from any virus. They are for gaining more control over every aspect of our lives, our economy, our minds and bodies. They assume that we are their possession and we must comply with everything they want and what they say, like slaves. If we don't realize this and stand up to protect our children, our lives and our human rights, it will only become worse.

It is also another lesson for humanity. Will we learn the lesson and stand together against evil, or will humanity fail again?

In the [below] video, TK Partners News2Share do a fantastic job of doing what the conventional press mostly hasn't done with the "Freedom Convoy" story, asking the right questions about who's participating, what their concerns are, and how the event is being received on the ground.

As Ford Fischer demonstrates in his narration, the protesters are a mix of people who see themselves as politically liberal, and politically conservative. There are some whose objections seem to be purely about mandates. "I'm double-vaccinated," says one speaker. "To think... I will show my papers to buy a sandwich? Hell, no!"


Comment: The corporate press is a dying entity. It's now up to the 'fringe minority' in the field of journalism to take up the mantle in the pursuit of truth rather than presenting propaganda with an agenda. Anyone in the know knows where to get their news from.

Prince Andrew settles sex abuse lawsuit by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre

Prince Andrew
Britain's Prince Andrew has agreed to settle out of court a lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting an underage girl while she was under the control of the sex criminals Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, a legal filing revealed Tuesday.

The amount of money that Andrew has agreed to pay his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, to settle her claims was not disclosed in the filing in Manhattan federal court, where she had sued the Duke of York in August.

But that document also said that Andrew, 61, will make "a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights."

A statement jointly issued by lawyers for Giuffre and Andrew's attorneys says that he "regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others."

"He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims," that statement says.

A former Navy nuclear engineer pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to sell closely guarded American secrets about submarine technology to another country.

Jonathan Toebbe, 43, was accused of trying to pass information about designs for nuclear-powered submarines to an undercover FBI agent posing as a representative of a foreign government. Toebbe, who prosecutors say hid memory cards containing the sensitive information inside peanut butter sandwiches and other items, was arrested in October.

At a hearing in West Virginia, Toebbe pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data.

The agreement calls for a possible sentence of 12 ½ to 17 ½ years in prison. The Maryland man was facing up to life in prison if convicted of the three counts in the indictment.

Gender-neutral teachers: Don't say Mr and Mrs, schools told

Students should replace Mr and Mrs with "teacher" as part of a drive to reduce discrimination and achieve a gender-free model in schools, a training session organised by an education union has recommended.

In a 90-minute webinar Dr Elly Barnes, chief executive of the Educate & Celebrate charity, told teachers that schools should be replacing the terms head boy and girl with "head pupil" as well as swapping "mother" for "parent" and "head master" for "head teacher".

The National Education Union, which organised the session, has announced a review after concerns were raised about its content.

A union spokesman told The Times: "An increasing number of teenagers are identifying as non-binary, and education needs to respond to this. But the NEU does not believe that schools can or should adopt gender-neutral language across the board.

"This training came from an external provider and was organised locally. The NEU will review its contents to ensure it is consistent with our policies."

Best of the Web: 7 ways men live without working in America

Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren't doing diddly-squat. They don't have a job, and they aren't looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That's almost 30 million people!

How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.

I'm certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You've heard people bemoaning this "labor participation rate," which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) who are working or are seeking work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.

It's true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.

As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I've looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:
Fred graph
Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I've concluded there are many different forces at play. That's what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.

Comment: Quite the assessment; many dots connected here.
