Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced new Covid-19 restrictions in his state ahead of the holidays. They include forcing many businesses to close at 10pm and even limit gatherings in private residences.

"New York follows the science," Cuomo tweeted on Wednesday when announcing the new restrictions, all of which will be put into effect on Friday. Calling indoor gatherings and parties a "major source of COVID spread," Cuomo said private residences will be limited to having 10 people or less in them. He did not reveal how this will be enforced.

Cuomo, who recently published a book on his 'leadership' during the pandemic, warned New Yorkers that Covid-19 is "getting worse" and the "fall surge" is here.

"Take this seriously," he tweeted.

Comment: New Yorkers strike back at Cuomo (and will be damned if they buy his book!):

More eligible voters in Michigan than population size

The swing state of Michigan is showing a high vote registration rate, according to calculations based on census and state voting data. That state's population is 9,986,857 as of July 2019 according to the newest U.S. Census released last December. The estimation of its 2020 population by World Population Review was around 10,045,000.

Census data shows that the state has just under 80 percent of the population over the age of 18. Unless the state's age group changed dramatically in less than a year, its voting-age population should be around 7.8 million.

But according to the state's voter information center, there are over 8.1 million registered voters in the 2020 election. That makes the state's voter registration rate over 100 percent. There are about 240,000 more registered voters than the state's voting-age population. That hasn't even taken into account that some of the population are immigrants who haven't been naturalized into U.S. citizens.

Research by government watchdog Judicial Watch published in September alleges that 353 U.S. counties in 29 states have their voter registration rates exceeding 100 percent. That's about 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens.

Comment: Not only are voter rolls in need of purging, President Trump tweeted a video showing postal workers being interviewed while still collecting mail-in ballots days after the election was over. (Note the Twitter tag in red):

Scotland Yard has apologised after journalists and photographers covering an anti-lockdown protest were told to leave and threatened with arrest.

Journalists at the demonstration protesting the new national lockdown in England in Trafalgar Square on Thursday were reportedly told by officers they were not seen as essential workers and needed special permission from the Metropolitan police service (MPS) to be present.

The reported incidents took place as police clashed with protesters in the capital on the first day of the month-long second lockdown.

Comment: Examples of the police blindly enforcing the will of a demonstrably corrupt government are too numerous to count these days and it's a damning indictment on the state of the UK:

Time for the quid pro quo, Joe: BLM says we 'invested heavily in this election' and 'we want something for our vote'

Black Lives Matter has a political agenda and its leaders now demand that as payback for supporting the potential Biden-Harris Administration throughout the election, Democrats use the White House to do the Marxist organization's bidding.

BLM Co-founder Patrisse Cullors sent a letter to former vice president Joe Biden and his Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris congratulating them on winning the presidential election and demanding a meeting to discuss BLM's "expectations" for their administration.

"A well-thought-out, community-driven, fully resourced agenda that addresses the particular challenges faced by Black people must be the priority," she wrote.

According to Cullors, a Democratic victory would not have happened "without the resounding support of Black people."

Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson showed numerous instances of deceased Americans that apparently had their identities used to participate in last week's presidential election in Georgia.

In doing so, Carlson showed the election was not without some instances of fraud despite what left-leaning media outlets and figures had said.

Comment: This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as voter fraud goes in this election.

Conservative politicians from President Trump to Senate members have railed against social media companies for their brazen censorship and de-platforming of conservative social media users. In recent weeks, Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee grilled Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, and Twitter's Jack Dorsey over their content-moderation practices.

Lately, Republican social media users, who have been censored or de-platformed, have embarked on a great migration to a new platform, that is, Parler, bills itself as a Twitter rival with "an unbiased social media focused on real user experiences and engagement."

According to radio host Dan Bongino, who has an "ownership stake" in Parler - the platform has "exploded" with new users:
"We're adding thousands of users per minute, and we're working out the glitches as a result."

Comment: If you dam information from one source, it will find its way to another. Jack seems to have overstepped his bounds and is paying the price.

Pope Francis vows to end sexual abuse after McCarrick report

© Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post via AP, FileIn this Sept. 23, 2015 file photo, Pope Francis reaches out to hug Cardinal Archbishop emeritus Theodore McCarrick after the Midday Prayer of the Divine with more than 300 U.S. bishops, at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, the Vatican is taking the extraordinary step of publishing its two-year investigation into the disgraced ex-Cardinal McCarrick, who was defrocked in 2019 after the Vatican determined that years of rumors that he was a sexual predator were true.
Pope Francis pledged Wednesday to rid the Catholic Church of sexual abuse and offered prayers to victims of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, a day after the Vatican released a detailed report into the decadeslong church cover-up of his sexual misconduct.

The Vatican report blamed a host of bishops, cardinals and popes for downplaying and dismissing mountains of evidence of McCarrick's misconduct starting in the 1990s — but largely spared Francis. Instead, it laid the lion's share of the blame on St. John Paul II, a former pope, for having appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington in 2000, and making him a cardinal, despite having commissioned an inquiry that found he had slept with seminarians.

Francis concluded his weekly general audience Wednesday by recalling that the report into the "painful case" of the former high-ranking American cardinal had been released the previous day.

"Tip of the iceberg": UK's foodbank demand soars 47% during lockdown - world's 5th wealthiest economy

© Dan Kitwood/Getty ImagesFILE: The trust revealed that during the fist six months of the pandemic it distributed 1.2m food parcels, of which 470,000 went to families with children.
The head of the UK's biggest food bank network has vowed to put them "out of business" and reverse a trend in which "sticking plaster" food charity handouts are increasingly normalised as a response to growing poverty and destitution.

The comments by Emma Revie, chief executive of the Trussell Trust, came as the charity reported a 47% rise in food parcels given out by its volunteers between April and September - reflecting an explosion in demand for food aid during the pandemic, including from "newly hungry" families who had fallen into hardship.

"We have to find better ways of supporting one another as a society than leaving people to rely on food charity," said Revie in an interview with the Guardian. "It's not just about ending food banks, it's about finding an alternative to the need for mass distribution of charity food in the fifth wealthiest country in the world."

Ticketmaster exploring negative COVID-19 test or vaccination to attend concerts

Wallet? Check. Water? Check. COVID-19 test?

The pre-concert checklist for music fans is about to get more complicated, as Ticketmaster is planning to check the coronavirus vaccination status of concert-goers prior to shows once a treatment is approved, Billboard reported Wednesday.

The ticketing giant plans to have customers use their cellphones to verify their inoculation or whether they've tested negative for the virus within a 24- to 72-hour window, according to the exclusive report.

Comment: This is what people have been warning about since the beginning of the Covid kerfuffle. It's not a hard mandatory vaccination, as such, but if you want to be able to travel, work or do anything fun, a vaccine will be required. It's coercion that makes resistance all but impossible. Welcome to the technocracy.
