Hundreds of Flights Cancelled for Christmas Eve as Omicron Wreaks Travel Chaos

Hundreds of flights have been canceled between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day – with one airline blaming Omicron’s toll on staffing.

United Airlines canceled about 120 flights Friday and another 28 on Saturday, the company said.

“The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation,” a United Airlines spokesperson told The Post.

The company said they are reaching out to customers affected by the cancellations before they head to the airport.

Delta Air Lines is also facing cancellations on the same two days. (Read more from “Hundreds of Flights Cancelled for Christmas Eve as Omicron Wreaks Travel Chaos” HERE)

Census: Americans Flee Left-Wing Lockdown States for Open, Red States

Blue states that have repeatedly imposed mask mandates, vaccine requirements, and lockdowns over the last year have lost population to red states that have done away with such policies.

Newly released data from the United States Census Bureau reveals that while blue states like California and New York have increasingly lost population from July 2020 to July 2021, red states such as Texas and Florida have seen population increases.

Thirty-three states saw population increases over the last year while 17 states, and Washington, D.C., saw their populations decline. New York has suffered the largest numerical population decline with roughly 319,000 fewer residents today than a year ago.

New York, especially New York City, has imposed school closures, business lockdowns, vaccine requirements, and mask mandates sporadically in the last 12 months.

Simultaneously, Texas — which has not had any statewide Chinese coronavirus-related restrictions since March — has gained population to the sum of more than 310,000 residents. (Read more from “Census: Americans Flee Left-Wing Lockdown States for Open, Red States” HERE)

Press Records Show Joe Biden Is the Least Accessible President in Modern History

One of the most infuriating parts of Joe Biden’s presidency—aside from his stupefyingly disastrous policies of open borders, unscientific tyrannical COVID vaccine mandates, energy job-killing executive orders, socialist inflationary spending, and a disgraceful exit from Afghanistan—is the mere fact that he is the least accessible president in modern history.

According to the American Presidency Project, a database compiled at the University of Santa Barbara that tracks presidential interactions with the media, Biden has had the fewest number of solo or joint press conferences of any president since Bill Clinton’s lame-duck year in 2000, a year in which Clinton traveled to 22 different countries, including to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Japan, Germany, Russia, Nigeria, and Vietnam.

The only places Biden seems to travel to are his homes in Wilmington or Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he’s been at least 25 times (as of October 27) and where he can remain as invisible as possible.

Biden also has the distinction of setting the presidential record for the most number of days (64) without holding a single news conference since taking office. The next highest president on that list is George W. Bush, who waited 33 days before giving his first press conference. Former President Donald Trump held his first press conference just 27 days into his presidency.

Spot the Symptoms: How Omicron Differs From Other COVID Mutations

As the Omicron variant spreads across the globe and the US, where cases are doubling roughly every two days, the importance of identifying early signs of infection are more crucial than ever, especially as holiday travel starts to ramp up.

While early evidence suggests Omicron appears to sicken people less severely than those who contract the Delta variant, the most commonly reported symptoms are cough, fatigue, congestion and a runny nose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new variant, first identified in South Africa on Nov. 24, has also been linked to causing intense night sweats and mild muscle aches, but appears to differ from the Delta strain, which generally causes a high fever and a loss or change in smell or taste.

Omicron’s impact on smell and taste appears to be uncommon, infectious disease specialists told NBC News while noting the preliminary findings were not based on scientific studies. (Read more from “Spot the Symptoms: How Omicron Differs From Other COVID Mutations” HERE)

Are Cow’s Milk and Over-The-Counter Drugs the Simple Key to Crush COVID?

A pair of widely available over-the-counter compounds has been found in preliminary tests to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19, according to University of Florida health researchers.

The effective ingredients are diphenhydramine, the key ingredient in the antihistamine Benadryl, and lactoferrin, the protein found in cow’s milk. . .

However, the lead researcher, Dr. David A. Ostrov, cautions that while the early indications are hopeful, human trials have not been conducted.

And more importantly, no one should try to treat COVID-19 with their own concoction of lactoferrin and diphenhydramine or Benadryl.

The type of lactoferrin used in the research is not the same type that is commonly available to consumers for treating stomach and intestinal ulcers. And Benadryl has other inert ingredients along with diphenhydramine. (Read more from “Are Cow’s Milk and Over-The-Counter Drugs the Simple Key to Crush COVID?” HERE)

Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19

Upon admission to a once-trusted hospital, American patients with COVID-19 become virtual prisoners, subjected to a rigid treatment protocol with roots in Ezekiel Emanuel’s “Complete Lives System” for rationing medical care in those over age 50. They have a shockingly high mortality rate. How and why is this happening, and what can be done about it?

As exposed in audio recordings, hospital executives in Arizona admitted meeting several times a week to lower standards of care, with coordinated restrictions on visitation rights. Most COVID-19 patients’ families are deliberately kept in the dark about what is really being done to their loved ones.

The combination that enables this tragic and avoidable loss of hundreds of thousands of lives includes (1) The CARES Act, which provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and (2) waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). . .

Creating a “National Pandemic Emergency” provided justification for such sweeping actions that override individual physician medical decision-making and patients’ rights. The CARES Act provides incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol. . .

A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital.

Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.

A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.

Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.

More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19.

A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.

Army Creates New Single Dose Vaccine Targeting All COVID Variants

. . .Defense One is reporting the U.S. Army has created a single shot that fights all COVID and SARS variants, including the latest, called Omicron.

The report explained scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research plan to announce within a few weeks their vaccine “that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide. ”

It’s the result of almost two years of work after the Army lab got its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus early last year. The scientists immediately focused on a shot that would work against not only the existing strain but potential variants, the report said.

“Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One,” the report said.

Judge’s Affair With Prosecutor Overturns Murder Conviction

An Oklahoma man had his murder conviction thrown out Monday after it was revealed that the judge who had presided over his jury trial was involved in a sexual relationship with the prosecutor.

In a trial presided by Former Oklahoma County District Judge Tim Henderson, the jury convicted Robert Hashagen III on Feb. 2 for the 2013 killing of 94-year-old Evelyn Goodall, KOKH-TV reported.

Hashagen was then sentenced to life imprisonment by Henderson on March 4, according to The Oklahoman.

Later in March, Henderson resigned after three women stepped forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him, according to The Oklahoman.

One of Henderson’s accusers was a female assistant district attorney from the Hashagen case. That attorney had delivered the state’s closing arguments and had cross examined two of the defense’s witnesses during Hashagen’s trial, KOKH-TV reported.

The White House’s Vaccine Threats Aren’t To Keep You Safe. They’re To Keep You In Line; Dr. Grinch Tells Unvaccinated Family Members Not to Show Up at Christmas Gatherings; Warning: ‘The Virus Is Going to Find You’

By The Federalist. By now, you’ve likely seen or heard the latest coronavirus messaging from the White House, which President Joe Biden is scheduled to talk about again later on Tuesday. The president gave the first doomsday message for the unvaxxed, COVID response chief Jeff Zients repeated it, and chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on it, so the comments were no slip of the tongue. This is the administration’s official line.

“We are intent on not letting omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm,” Zients said, one day after Biden made nearly identical comments.

This messaging is problematic for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is its remarkable ability to further harden 50 percent of the country against the so-called “unity” president, who has shaped up to be leagues more divisive than his predecessor.

But buried under the latest “dark winter” threat is an admission from the Biden White House that its detractors have been right about its aims all along. The contrast between the in-group and the out-group isn’t that one is rid of the virus while the other isn’t. The difference is that one has “done the right thing.”

In fact, the message for the vaccinated seems to assume omicron infections as a foregone conclusion. It assures the vaxxed that the administration is there to help make their lives easier, omicron or not, because they’ve done the righteous thing by falling in line with the White House’s vaccine goals.

Dr. Grinch Tells Unvaccinated Family Members Not to Show Up at Christmas Gatherings

By Breitbart. . .National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that considering the highly contagious Omicron variant of coronavirus is rapidly spreading through the United States, unvaccinated family members should be asked not to attend Christmas gatherings this year. . .

[Guest host Alicia] Menendez said, “If someone in your family is not vaccinated, should you ask them not to show up?”

Fauci said, “Yes, I would do that. I think we’re dealing with a serious enough situation right now that if there’s an unvaccinated person, I would say, ‘I’m very sorry, but not this time, maybe another time when this is all over.’” (Read more from “Dr. Grinch Tells Unvaccinated Family Members Not to Show Up at Christmas Gatherings” HERE)

Fauci to Unvaccinated: ‘The Virus Is Going to Find You’

By Breitbart. . .On the unvaccinated, Fauci said, “Well, they’re going to be very vulnerable. That’s why I worry about the people who refuse to get vaccinated. When you’re dealing with any COVID virus, when you’re dealing with one that spreads so rapidly, and you’re unvaccinated, the virus is going to find you. And I know there will be a lot of people that will get seriously ill if you are unvaccinated. That’s the reason why despite the recalcitrance on the part of so many people to get vaccinated, we continue to encourage them, particularly in the context of this new variant, to please get vaccinated. If you have vaccinated, make sure you get your booster in time.” (Read more from “Fauci to Unvaccinated: ‘The Virus Is Going to Find You’” HERE)
