by Tammy on April 21, 2020This is excellent news. It has been amazing to watch how quickly we’ve made advances when it comes to testing, not just availability but portability and speed with results.

The FDA has given emergency authorization to the first coronavirus test that allows people to collect their own samples at home, using a nasal swab, before mailing them off to a lab for analysis. The test, made by LabCorp, could help cut down on the amount of personal protective equipment health providers are using while collecting patient samples for testing.

NY AG Letitia James Loses ‘Climate Change’ Case Against Exxon Mobil
by Shifra on December 11, 2019NY Attorney General Letitia James just lost this “climate change” case. But she should cheer up: Now she will have more time to harass President Trump for his financial records. Via Bloomberg.

NYT: ‘Swing State’ Voters Who Cast Ballots For Dems In 2018 Are Swinging Back… To Trump
by Shifra on November 27, 2019Bad news for Democrats. Wonderful news for the U.S.A. #Winning! Via Daily Wire. The New York Times/Siena College partnership keeps producing terrible news for the 2020 Democratic contenders. This time, on the heels of a poll that showed only former Vice President Joe Biden giving President Donald Trump a challenge in battleground states, the NYT’s Upshot discovered that swing state voters who “swung” to Democrats in 2018 plan to swing back to Trump. “Nearly two-thirds of voters in six battleground states who voted for President Trump in 2016 — but for Democratic congressional candidates in 2018 — say they intend to back the president against each of his top rivals, according to recent polling,” the NYT said Wednesday Those “battleground...

AOC Caves After Facing Lawsuit, Apologizes For Twitter-Blocking Jewish Activist
by Shifra on November 4, 2019Dov Hikind is a Brooklyn activist, and was an Assemblyman for the past thirty-five years. His mother was the only family member to survive Auschwitz, and when Ocasio-Cortez compared US border detention centers to concentration camps, Hikind had a major “head explosion.” Little Sandy Ocasio-Cortez made a major boo-boo by blocking him on Twitter, because everyone in NYC knows: Don’t mess with Dov. D-Day is coming: A Federal judge has called @AOC to testify on Nov 5 as to why she suppressed my 1A rights & I’ll confront her in court for supporting antisemites, and distorting Holocaust history. But I need your help to do it. Do your part by visiting https://t.co/7UTMXpMF2f pic.twitter.com/bdyVSZD4Ja — Dov Hikind (@HikindDov) October 31, 2019...

House Passes Bill To Limit Taxpayer-Funded Perks Of Ex-Presidents
by Shifra on October 18, 2019The Obamas’ $14M summer home on Martha’s Vineyard A similar bill was passed by both the House and Senate in 2015… but Obama vetoed the bill. Strange, remember when Obama said to Wall Street: “I Do Think At A Certain Point You’ve Made Enough Money” ? Looks like he literally meant “you,” not “I.” Barack Obama’s net worth, as of 2018, was $40M. And that is not including the millions of dollars the Obamas will be getting from their Netflix deal. Via Breitbart. The House passed a bill spearheaded by Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) that limits a president’s post-office taxpayer-funded perks…. The legislation would put limits on taxpayer-funded benefits for former U.S. presidents, which include...

by Shifra on August 7, 2019Tiffany Cabán earned the endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and the NYT.

Appeals Court Rules Sarah Palin Can Move Forward With Lawsuit Against NYT
by Shifra on August 6, 2019The NYT has a long history of biased reporting, from their “cover-up” of the Holocaust in WWII to their frequent anti-Israel coverage. And today’s story of NYT caving to the liberal mob, changing their headline of Trump’s speech, is another shameful example of their so-called journalism. Good luck to Palin in moving forward with her lawsuit. Let’s hope she wins...bigly. Via The Hill. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled that Sarah Palin can move forward with her defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, two years after a lower court judge dismissed the case.

Katz Declared Winner in Queens Primary, Despite AOC’s Support Of Opponent Cabán
by Shifra on July 29, 2019Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sees herself as a political powerhouse. This, despite having won her congressional seat by only approximately four thousand votes, in a contest where only 11% of eligible Democrats bothered to vote. So it must come as a shock to her that backing Tiffany Caban, a Democrat Socialist, did little in the primary race for Queens District Attorney, as Melinda Katz, after a vote recount, has now been declared the winner. Caban’s platform would have been a disaster for the NYC borough of Queens; She called for the closing of Rikers Island, with no plan for other space to house prisoners. And, as reported in the NY Post, she wanted to end cash bail entirely, seek shorter sentences for...
