“China eats weird animals disease”

Joe Biden has a problem. Well, yes, he has more than one problem. But this problem will almost certainly cost him and the Democrats heavily at the polls.

Biden promised every good little girl and good little boy that Santa Claus would, indeed, make it to their houses on Christmas Eve after the Grinch tried to sabotage Santa’s mission by causing a huge backlog at American ports, keeping cargo from foreign countries — where all the real great presents like smartphones and games originate — from being unloaded on American docks. He ordered the Port of Los Angeles to remain open on weekends and add extra hours of operation to its schedule.

Ontario reported 304 new COVID-19 cases and four more deaths on Wednesday, sending the province’s known active caseload down to its lowest level in more than two months.

Only fully vaccinated people to be allowed in Parliament Hill buildings — a potential problem for Conservatives

That could present a problem for Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, who has refused to say how many of his 118 MPs are fully vaccinated.

Protestors at this weekend’s demonstrations in Milan had little hope

“Giu le mani dai bambini” (“Keep your hands off the children”)

“Educare alla libertà” (“Educate for freedom”)

“Studianti e operai nella lotta contro il green pass” (“Students and workers in the fight against the green pass”)

These were some of the slogans on display at this weekend’s anti-green pass protests in Milan, Italy. Protests were nationwide, but here at the Arco della Pace an unusual cross-section of students, blue collar workers and parents had marched here through the gates of the Castello Sforzesco to make one last stand against the green passes.

Some Seattle police officers are hanging ‘don’t tread on me’ Gadsden flags from their cruisers to protest a citywide vaccine mandate that takes effect at midnight Monday.

Seattle’s ordinance – which aligns with county- and state-wide mandates also taking effect October 18 – requires all city employees to show proof of inoculation or risk losing their jobs.

As of Monday, just 24 – or two percent – of Seattle Police Department officers had not shown proof of inoculation, a city spokesperson told Dailymail.com.

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police president John Catanzara estimates approximately 3,200 officers are defying the city’s coronavirus vaccine reporting mandate.

Under Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s rules, officers had to confirm their vaccine status or be subjected to unpaid leave by Friday. Unvaccinated officers can stay on the job if they undergo semiweekly testing.

A non-profit legal organization is filing a constitutional challenge in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice against the province’s COVID-19 vaccine passport mandate.

In a statement, Jorge Pineda, staff lawyer at Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom, said Ontario’s vaccine mandates are “ethically wrong” and “illegal,” and the group plans to argue in court that the measures “take away the long-standing rights of citizens to make informed decisions about their own medical care.”

Two Ontario doctors have been barred from issuing medical exemptions for COVID-19 vaccines, masking requirements and testing.

The province’s medical regulator says the restrictions imposed on Dr. Mark Trozzi and Dr. Rochagne Kilian took effect just before midnight Friday.
