So far in 26% fully-vaccinated South Africa, Omicron is turning out to be a giant nothing burger
The seven day average of daily new deaths was 20 on Nov 24th when Omicron was first identified.
As of Dec 19th, it's 30.
Big whoop.
No supply chain issues observed this morning at Sam's Club
The place was brimming with everything I usually buy and need.
LOL Trump brags about the same vaccines which are failing spectacularly in Canada in Dallas, gets unenthusiastic response
A good sign.
Mediaite LOVES Trump now!
... kudos to the former president for not pussy-footing around in answering, and receiving the smattering of boos with some grace and laughter.

Egads, you knew it was coming: 6th Circuit Court of Appeals panel rules 2-1 that Biden's employer vaccine mandate, previously paused, can take effect
Earlier this week, the circuit’s active judges rejected a move to have the entire panel consider the case, on an 8-8 vote.
More.
Supreme Court next, which will allow the mandate.
They can make you buy Obamacare, right?

Nancy Pelosi, who has to pass bills to find out what's in them, wonders where the attitude of lawlessness in America comes from
Maybe from being "not a serious country"?

The US House passed the $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling in the dead of night with just one, unneeded, Republican vote
The bill, which lawmakers passed 221-209, with one Republican voting yes, raises the federal debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion to increase the limit to close to $31 trillion.
More.
Adam Kinzinger was the lone Republican vote in the House:
Representative Adam Kinzinger was the only Republican lawmaker who voted with Democrats in the House to raise the debt ceiling, staving off a potentially disastrous federal default.
Last week, Kinzinger was also the only Republican to back the Democrats over the plan struck by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) allowing Senate Democrats to lift the ceiling through a simple majority vote.
The Illinois congressman, one of 10 Republicans to vote for the second impeachment of ex-President Donald Trump after the Capitol insurrection and one of only two GOP lawmakers on the January 6 committee investigating the riots that day, will not be standing for re-election in the 2022 midterms.
LOL lunatic New York City to ban natural gas connections after 2027 to reduce CO2 emissions by 0.036% by 2040
The commie Mayor Bill de BlowMyNoseio calls this a critical step to fight back against climate change on the local level and guarantee a green city for generations to come.
North America emitted 5.78 BILLION tons in 2020. The NYC reduction over 12 years will come to just 2.1 MILLION tons.
No projection was given for the reduction in population this will produce in NYC.
However, states like Texas and Arizona have barred cities from implementing such changes, citing that consumers have the right to pick their energy sources.

US Senate Democrats passed a $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling 50-49 this afternoon without a single Republican vote after 14 Republicans voted to allow a one time simple majority arrangement
Seems like there's not much wiggle room between a $2.5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling and a proposed Democrat reconciliation spending bill now coming in at $1.75 trillion.
