Week in review, 12/21 - 12/27


Another rotten week in America - 

Federal agents scour home as they hunt for clues in Nashville Christmas Day blast

2020: The deadliest year in U.S. history

The casualties of this year’s viral conspiracy theories

‘While good news on the COVID-19 vaccine front keeps coming, the U.S. just suffered one of its worst days this year as the daily death toll spiked back above the grim 3,000 mark and hospitalizations jumped by nearly 2,500 to another record’ 

The new COVID-19 variant emerging in the UK: Up to 70% more transmissible than other strands of the virus, and possibly on path for ‘vaccine escape,’ meaning vaccines could become useless

Nations (though, not the U.S.) restrict travel from the United Kingdom as the threat of the new COVID-19 strain is assessed

President-Elect Joe Biden warns COVID-19 vaccines won’t stop deaths of ‘tens of thousands’ in the months to come

New COVID-19 restrictions go into effect for at least two weeks in Mass. Capacity limits of 25 percent at restaurants, grocery stores, and other indoor gatherings

New Hampshire: School nurses to be vaccinated by the middle of January

China is the only major economy to expand in 2020; forecast to overtake the United States by 2028, five-years ahead of schedule due to American COVID-19 mismanagement

Another 803,000 filed for unemployment benefits last week

With threat, Trump plunges COVID relief talks and the GOP itself into tumult: They should have known he would stab them in the back in the end. It’s not as though there weren’t those of us warning them all the way back in 2016

Trump vetoes $740 billion defense legislation: A pathetic act of pettiness, and one of his most egregious errors in judgment. The GOP is coming apart at the seams, torn between those intensely loyal to the lame-duck and those ready to move on

Pardoning the four former Blackwater guards who killed Iraqi civilians is a particularly egregious abuse of power: Trump pardons fifteen, including two convicted in the Muller probe

Latest Trump pardons include felons Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Charles Kushner. And the GOP seriously believes it is the party of ‘rule of law’

‘Republicans’ approval rating for the president fell eight points since October.’ Jennifer Rubin: Trump may be fading faster than you think

Rep. Jackie Speier, who was shot by cultists while investigating Jonestown, compares Trump loyalists to Jim Jones’ followers

‘(A) straight-up cult based on anti-Semitism, fantasy and just bizarre made-up tripe.’ As Trump meets with QAnon influencers, the conspiracy theory’s adherents beg for dictatorship
