NY Times Story On Cleveland Crime Wave Seems To Overlook Some Significant Factors

Just last week I wrote about the strong possibility that the U.S. will set a new record for the increase in the murder rate this year. That seemed like pretty big news to me but I only saw it appear in a Twitter thread and in one story quoting the author of that thread.

So when the NY Times published a piece Saturday about the rise in violent crime in Cleveland, I read it thinking perhaps the Times was going to get the word out about the trend and maybe even kick off a discussion about what was behind it.

Covid: LA ambulances told not to transport “goners” to hospital

Ambulance workers in Los Angeles County, California, have been told not to transport hospital patients that have extremely low chances of survival.

The directive comes as officials say the region could soon hit over 1,000 Covid-related deaths per day, and hospitals are overrun with patients.LA ambulances told not to transport some patients

Emergency workers have also been told to ration oxygen, which is in short supply due to the pandemic.

Hospital beds in LA are running low and officials fear a post-holiday spike.

Report: U.S. Funded Specific Research at Wuhan Lab that Led to Coronavirus

As it turns out, investigative reporter Nicholson Baker did most of the work for them. Writing in New York Magazine, Baker reveals a horror story about an accidental release of the coronavirus deliberately created in a lab funded by U.S. tax dollars.

Ghouls: Leaked Report Reveals ‘Systematic Malpractice’ in Communist China’s Organ Transplant System

Evidence of large-scale forced organ harvesting has cast a shadow on China’s organ transplant system for more than a decade.

Now an internal document analyzing organ allocation and transplant data in one Chinese province has revealed systemic reporting abuses by hospitals. The abuses throw serious doubt on the credibility of China’s official organ registration system, which may further point to state-sanctioned organ extraction from prisoners against their will, according to an expert’s analysis of the report findings.

Rex Murphy: 2021 just started and we may have already had the woke joke of the year

The New Year is so fresh upon us it hasn’t even called for a change of diapers, and what is possibly the best woke joke we’re going to meet in all its remaining days has fallen into the headlines.

A pious congressman, the Rev. Emanuel Cleaver, who was called upon to deliver the prayer for the opening of the 117th Congress, concluded his two-minute invocation with the time-and-liturgically hallowed “Amen.”

GOLDSTEIN: Jet-setting politicians undermine the case for lockdowns

The real issue with so many politicians of all political stripes flying out of the country over the Christmas/New Year holiday isn’t that they ignored the advice of their own governments not to do so.

It’s that they’ve undermined the credibility of government-imposed public health measures and lockdowns to fight the pandemic, and handed their fiercest critics an argument about why they’re unnecessary and extreme.

Ontario reports 3128 new Covid cases

Ontario is reporting another day with more than 3,100 new COVID-19 cases, along with 51 new deaths, as hospitalizations hit a record high and test positivity remained at worrisome levels.

“Locally, there are 778 new cases in Toronto, 614 in Peel, 213 in York Region, 172 in Durham, 151 in Middlesex-London and 151 in Hamilton,” Health Minister Christine Elliott wrote on Twitter.

Health authorities to start naming specific Toronto workplaces with significant COVID-19 outbreaks

…There are currently more than 250 active workplace outbreaks across the province, according to the latest provincial data — the second-highest source behind care settings. There are currently 16 active workplace outbreaks in Toronto, Dr. Eileen de Villa, the city’s medical officer of health, said Monday.

Three employers with outbreaks that “pose a significant public health risk” are now named on the city’s website: skin care manufacturer DECIEM, meat processor Sofina Foods and circuit board manufacturer TTM Technologies. The new cumulative data shows warehouses, manufacturing and distribution companies have had the largest number of outbreaks at 132, followed by bars and nightclubs with 41. Food processors have seen 31 outbreaks since the start of the pandemic, and the retail sector has registered 24.

I am very curious about what is considered an essential business and how you make the list.

Confusion swirls over city’s hockey, tobogganing crackdown

As the city’s struggle against unsanctioned hockey and tobogganing continues, residents are being left in the cold over what they are — and aren’t — allowed to do outside this winter.

Requesting to remain anonymous, a Toronto Sun reader who tried to take his kids for an afternoon of sledding at Earl Bales Park was left scratching his head over what he described as conflicting messages from city officials.

China still owes Canada $371 million in decades-old debt

China still owes Canada $371 million in loans it incurred decades ago, and is not expected to repay them in full until 2045.

The little-known debt comes from loans to Beijing through the Canada Account, a federal fund providing credit for export-related transactions, usually to foreign governments and corporations to secure the purchase of Canadian goods, such as commercial planes.

The account is used to support transactions deemed too risky for Export Development Canada’s corporate account, but which are still in the national interest, as determined by the federal minister of International Trade.

This is so Canadian. Crony capitalists reap the profit of sales to the Communist Chinese slave state but it’s lowly tax payers who assume all the financial risk.

UK judge refuses US extradition of WikiLeaks founder Assange

LONDON (AP) — A British judge on Monday rejected the United States’ request to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face espionage charges, saying he was likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions.

In a mixed ruling for Assange and his supporters, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser rejected defense arguments that the 49-year-old Australian faces a politically motivated American prosecution that rides roughshod over free-speech protections. But she said Assange’s precarious mental health would likely deteriorate further under the conditions of “near total isolation” he would face in a U.S. prison.

“I find that the mental condition of Mr. Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America,” the judge said.
