New York City Mayor Eric Adams exempted athletes and performers from his vaccine mandate on Thursday.
City workers and other private sector employees however are still required to be vaccinated against Covid.
How is this even legal?
“I’m going to make some tough choices. People are not going to agree with some of them. I must move this city forward,” Adams said. “Generals lead from the front. I was not elected to be fearful, but to be fearless.”
TMZ posted video Thursday of a brief interview with retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, with Breyer saying that fellow Justice Clarence Thomas is “fine.” Breyer did not say whether Thomas has been released from the D.C. hospital where he was admitted last Friday for an infection. The Supreme Court issued a statement Sunday saying Thomas was expected to be released in a day or two but has given no further update except to say Thomas does not have COVID.
Breyer was interviewed as he went to dine at Cafe Milano in Georgetown. Asked about Thomas, Breyer said, “I think he’s fine.” Beyer’s statement on Thomas is consistent with what a source familiar with Thomas’ condition told TGP this week.
Breyer declined to comment on the contentious Senate confirmation hearing for his replacement, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, saying, “Their politics is not my affair. My affair is done.”
Justice Thomas was hospitalized last Friday after he experienced flu-like symptoms. Turns out it was an infection, which was being treated with IV antibiotics.
The SCOTUS Public Information Office said a few days ago, Thomas was expected to be released Tuesday, but on Wednesday the PIO was mum, not saying if Thomas is back home or still laid up in the hospital.
Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms. He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics. His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two. Justice Thomas will participate in the consideration and discussion of any cases for which he is not present on the basis of the briefs, transcripts, and audio of the oral arguments.
UPDATE: The Hill reported a friend of Thomas, Armstrong Williams, echoing Breyers’ comment:
Thomas’s close friend Armstrong Williams on Thursday told The Hill that Thomas is “resting and he’s going to be just fine” but declined to elaborate further on the justice’s health. Pressed on whether Thomas was still in the hospital, Williams declined to answer.
“It doesn’t matter. He’s resting and doing well,” he said, adding: “I don’t think the public cares about where he’s resting — it’s that he’s resting and he’s doing fine. I think the media cares about where he’s resting. The public doesn’t.”
Joe Biden held a solo press conference after meeting with members of NATO to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“I’ll be now happy to take your questions. Since there are so many people out there…I’m gonna – I’ve been given a list. Now how about Chris with the Associated Press,” Biden said gripping onto his list.
America’s hunters seldom receive praise for helping their fellow citizens, but they should. And Missouri’s “Share the Harvest” program is a case in point. Hunters donated 242,774 pounds of venison through the program during the 2021-22 deer season. That’s roughly 121 tons of healthy protein that helped feed thousands of residents in the Show Me State, according to a press release from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Now celebrating its 30th year, Share the Harvest is coordinated by the MDC and the Conservation Federation of Missouri, and it’s a joint effort by a number of Missourians. Local processors grind the meat into ready-to-use packages, and corporate sponsors like Bass Pro Shops, Shelter Insurance, and the Gateway Chapter of Safari Club International help cover these processing costs. The deer meat is then distributed to local food banks and pantries that help feed hungry residents across the state.
Since its founding in 1992, the program has provided approximately 4.3 million pounds of venison to those who need it. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the hunters themselves, who donated 5,053 whole deer just last season.
“Hunters started Share the Harvest 30 years ago because they saw a need in their communities and hunters remain the driving force behind this popular program that helps feed our fellow Missourians who are in need,” said MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley. “We sincerely thank the thousands of deer hunters who support Share the Harvest, along with the many participating meat processors and sponsors who help make it possible.”
CFM executive director Tyler Schwartz called the 30-year anniversary “an amazing milestone.” And he said that because the donated venison stays in the local communities where it was harvested, “it truly is helping out neighbors in need.”

NATO members are meeting today in Brussels to discuss the Russian war on Ukraine. NATO leaders including Justin Trudeau from Canada attended the meetings today.
Earlier today a Croatian politician Mislav Kolakusiccalled out the dictatorial actions of Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to his face.
Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau was in Brussels for meetings with NATO. A Croatian politician took the opportunity to welcome him.
Later today Christine Margarete Anderson, a German politician who is serving as an Alternative for Germany (AfD) Member of the European Parliament, unloaded on Tyrant Trudeau.
Christine Anderson: “Then again a Prime Minister who openly admires the Chinese basic dictatorship…who tramples on fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists just because they dared to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy… Should not be allowed to speak in this house at all.
Mr. Trudeau: You are a disgrace to democracy. Please spare us your presence.”
Why does anyone bother reading the fake news media anymore?
On Thursday The Hill reported on how big of a man Joe Biden is for not pointing his finger at President Trump on Russia and Ukraine.
Joe Biden golfing with Hunter Biden’s Burisma contacts
This is the kind of garbage reporting you can expect from The Hill and their cohorts in the mainstream media today. The report completely lacks any connection to the truth, is filled with slander and innuendo, defends the failed Biden regime, and ignores President Trump’s many successes in Russian relations and his completely honest remarks on the Biden Crime Family and their corrupt dealings in Ukraine.
This is a prove fact. President Trump NEVER had close relations with Vladimir Putin. That was all a lie.
The garbage politicized impeachment against President Trump was based on one phone call he had with Ukrainian President Zelensky where he mentioned he should look at the crooked Biden crime family. Trump was right. The media likes to ignore this. There are now emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop computers that discuss the family’s illegal grift with Ukraine.
Now look at The Hill‘s disgusting lies on Ukraine, Biden and Trump.
President Biden has largely avoided pointing the finger at his predecessor on Ukraine, even though some Democrats believe he could defang GOP attacks over Russia by drawing a contrast with former President Trump.
Trump’s frequent embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin has consistently put Republicans in an awkward position. Ukraine was also at the center of Trump’s first impeachment after his White House held up security assistance to Ukraine as Trump sought an investigation into the Biden family.
Despite that history, the White House has signaled that Trump is not going to be a major part of its talking points on the Russia crisis.
It fits in with a pattern, as Biden has generally avoided putting the focus on Trump. An exception was the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, when Biden offered blistering criticism of Trump’s role.
Biden has tried to strike a unifying tone on Ukraine as he’s sought support for both parties. Republicans have offered tepid support for some of Biden’s moves, even as they have painted his actions as weak, late and insufficient.
You really cannot trust the mainstream media on anything at this point.
Thousands of ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin.
Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips from True the Vote testified Thursday before the Campaigns and Elections Committee in the Wisconsin Assembly on their investigation of ballot trafficking at ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.
According to True the Vote 7% of the ballots in Wisconsin at the ballot drop boxes were likely fraudulent votes. They estimate over 137,000 ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin. Joe Biden “won” Wisconsin by less than 21,000 votes.
Gregg Phillips from True the Vote testified that they saw similar results in all of the battleground states.
Phillips also posted mappings of the ballot trafficking in Milwaukee.
