| CDC Monitoring 110 People in 26 States for Coronavirus Posted: 27 Jan 2020 08:00 PM PST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. is monitoring 110 people located in 26 states for the coronavirus. Thirty-two of those have tested negative for the virus, five have tested positive. Tests are pending for 73 cases, the CDC said Monday. The five who tested positive recently traveled to China. U.S. health officials say there is no sign yet that the virus is spreading inside the U.S. to those who have not traveled to China. But that could change, according to officials. "We understand that many people in the United States are worried about this virus and how it will affect Americans," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said on a conference call with reporters Monday. "Every day we learn more. Every day we assess to see if our guidance or our response can be improved." The virus is novel, meaning it is new and medical scientists still have much to learn about it.

| Fox News Cuts Away from President Trump’s Impeachment Defense Posted: 27 Jan 2020 07:30 PM PST Fox News cut away from President Donald Trump's defense in his Senate impeachment trial several times on Monday in favor of panel discussions or interviews rather than the live feed of the proceedings. Fox spent much of the 5 p.m. EST program hour with its popular panel discussions show, The Five. Later, it cut away during The Story with Martha McCallum for interviews with former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), among others. Video footage of President Trump's legal team making their arguments continued to play, but the audio was muted. Other, competing cable news networks — including those openly hostile to President Trump, including MSNBC and CNN — remained with the live video and audio feed from the floor of the U.S. Senate, as they had done during the House Democrat impeachment managers' opening arguments against the president last week.

| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 07:00 PM PST The Pentagon has denied the Taliban shot down a US military plane over Afghanistan killing everyone on board, despite the terror group claiming responsibility. Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the militant group, said that high-ranking American officers were among the dead after the aircraft was brought down in Dih Yak district around 1.10pm local time. US officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there were no indications so far that the plane had been brought down by enemy activity. One of the officials said there were believed to be fewer than 10 people on board the small military plane. More  | ||
| Vitamin C Protects Against Coronavirus Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:30 PM PST FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, Jan 26, 2020 The coronavirus pandemic can be dramatically slowed, or stopped, with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C. Physicians have demonstrated the powerful antiviral action of vitamin C for decades. There has been a lack of media coverage of this effective and successful approach against viruses in general, and coronavirus in particular. It is very important to maximize the body's anti-oxidative capacity and natural immunity to prevent and minimize symptoms when a virus attacks the human body. The host environment is crucial. Preventing is obviously easier than treating severe illness. But treat serious illness seriously. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention. It is not an either-or choice. Vitamin C can be used right along with medicines when they are indicated. "I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C." --Robert F. Cathcart, MD The physicians of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and the International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine urge a nutrient-based method to prevent or minimize symptoms for future viral infection. The following inexpensive supplemental levels are recommended for adults; for children reduce these in proportion to body weight: Vitamin C: 3,000 milligrams (or more) daily, in divided doses. Vitamin D3: 2,000 International Units daily. (Start with 5,000 IU/day for two weeks, then reduce to 2,000) Magnesium: 400 mg daily (in citrate, malate, chelate, or chloride form) Zinc: 20 mg daily Selenium: 100 mcg (micrograms) daily Vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and selenium have been shown to strengthen the immune system against viruses. The basis for using high doses of vitamin C to prevent and combat virus-caused illness may be traced back to vitamin C's early success against polio, first reported in the late 1940s. Many people are unaware, even surprised, to learn this. Further clinical evidence built up over the decades, leading to an anti-virus protocol published in 1980.

| Harris Leads Effort to Acquire Additional H-2B Visas Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:00 PM PST  WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) is leading an effort to urge the Administration to grant additional H-2B Visas. Rep. Harris organized a bipartisan letter signed by 151 Members of Congress and 37 Senators, requesting the release of 64,716 additional visas. These guest worker visas provide temporary, seasonal workers to employers who are unable to hire employees locally. The visas are utilized extensively by seafood processors and crab houses, among others, on the Eastern Shore. The H-2B program provides visas for temporary work in seasonal, non-agricultural industries and is subject to an annual cap of 66,000 visas. The FY 2020 Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, passed in December 2019, provides the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, the authority to release an additional 64,716 H-2B visas for FY 2020 should they find that the needs of American businesses cannot be satisfied in fiscal year 2020 with United States workers who are willing, qualified, and able to perform temporary nonagricultural labor. Rep. Andy Harris made the following statement: "Today I sent a letter with 188 of my colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, from both the House and Senate, urging the Administration to grant additional H-2B visas. As a member of the Committee on Appropriations, I coauthored the amendment in the FY 2020 Appropriations bill that authorized the additional visas. These guest workers are crucial to the economy of Maryland's First District, particularly on the Eastern Shore, and support thousands of American jobs. While it is ultimately the responsibility of Congress to provide a long term solution to the chronic shortage of H-2B visas, I strongly urge the administration to use the authority granted to them to release the maximum number of additional visas. The bipartisan support for this program demonstrates how crucial it is for our local employers and the American employees supported by the temporary assistance. This program helps sustain our local economy and crab houses, and I will continue to work as an advocate for employers and employees in the First District and on the Eastern Shore."  | ||
| California homeowners hit with $20K bill to clean up homeless camp Posted: 27 Jan 2020 05:30 PM PST Homeowners in Northern California were charged for the cost of clearing a homeless camp after Alameda County revealed that the mess had crossed onto their property lines. Walsh Property Management, which oversees the homeowners association near the homeless camp in Lakewood, a small subdivision of 75 houses in Castro Valley, was forced to charge each homeowner in the association $300 to cover the bill for the cleanup of trash and waste from a former homeless camp. The camp had been reported to Alameda County in October 2017. The government cleared out the encampment but notified the residents in August 2019 that they would be responsible for the expense because part of the camp was on Walsh's property line. More  | ||

| Maryland and IRS Ready for Today's Start of Tax Season Posted: 27 Jan 2020 04:30 PM PST  Comptroller Office's set to assist Maryland taxpayersANNAPOLIS, Md. (January 27, 2020) - Comptroller Peter Franchot said his team of professionals will begin processing personal income tax returns today for Tax Year 2019 which coincides with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) start date. Business tax returns have been accepted for processing since January 7. "My top priority is to make sure claims are processed promptly and refunds are returned to taxpayers as quickly as possible," Mr. Franchot said. "My agency has a long-standing reputation as a national leader in efficiently getting taxpayers' hard-earned money back into their hands. We expect this to be another successful tax season." Last year, the Comptroller's Office processed approximately 3.2 million individual state tax returns with refunds to taxpayers totaling more than $2.8 billion. As in previous years, the Comptroller's Office will not immediately process a state tax return if W-2 information is not on file with the agency. Employers are required to report wage information to the Comptroller on or before January 31. The filing deadline for 2019 tax returns is Monday, April 15, 2020. Taxpayers are encouraged to file their returns electronically for the fastest possible processing and to ensure they receive all eligible refunds. A list of approved vendors for use in filing your electronic return can be found at https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/pros/approved-vendors.php. Free state tax assistance is available at all of the agency's 12 taxpayer service offices, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A list of office locations can be found at https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/locations.php. For more information on any tax-related matter, please visit the Comptroller's website at https://www.marylandtaxes.gov or call 1-800-MD-TAXES (1-800-638-2937) or 410-260-7980 in Central Maryland.  | ||
| Chinese researcher escorted from infectious disease lab amid RCMP investigation Posted: 27 Jan 2020 04:00 PM PST This story was published on July 14, 2019. A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described as a possible "policy breach." Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada's only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned. A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola.

| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:00 PM PST Tens of thousands of Iraqis marched through Baghdad today demanding the expulsion of US troops, some hanging effigies of Donald Trump. However, populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's calls for a 'million man march' fell well short and the crowds dissipated after a few hours. It comes after a US drone strike in the Iraqi capital killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on January 3 and subsequent strikes on Iran-backed shi'ite militia. Sadr kept his march well away from the US Embassy - which was stormed last month - and Tahrir Square, the scene of ongoing anti-government protests. More  | ||

| Smith: A Veteran’s Perspective – None of the Democrat Candidates Are Fit to Lead Posted: 27 Jan 2020 02:00 PM PST I am a veteran of the United States Army. I served two tours in the Middle-East, including one in Iraq. I'm proud of my service and America. And I am terrified of what will become of our beloved military and our national security if any of the Democrats I saw take the Debate stage on Tuesday night become America's Commander-In-Chief. Watching the top-tier candidates for president on the left blunder their way through answers on Middle-East policy while engaging in half-truths about the War in Iraq and the Iran/U.S. tensions from a few weeks ago made me profoundly uncomfortable. While septuagenarian multimillionaires argue about the Iraq war vote from 17 years ago, the lone veteran on stage outright lies about the origins behind the decision to kill Qasem Soleimani, and the billionaire who has no real reason to be there goes on about "climate change" as if it's the primary threat to the lives of Americans, soldiers, and veterans realize they're left with a sorry group of people aiming to be president of the United States. The back and forth between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders about the initial vote to authorize the Iraq war points to a fundamental misunderstanding of where we're at now in terms of our troop presence in Iraq and the issues that America will face in deciding if and when we will vastly reduce the amount of troops we have there. Sanders wears his "no" vote on the Iraq war like a badge of honor to shine his virtue towards his socialist base and supporters. While being anti-war and American interventionism isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor is critique of the origins of the war itself, what Sanders misses is that no matter what his vote was then, we're in Iraq now. Veterans and active-duty soldiers don't want 17-year-later Monday-morning quarterbacking about the vote; we want an answer to the issues facing troops in the region now. More  | ||
| Obama Called Trump "Fascist Who Can't Be Allowed Into White House" Posted: 27 Jan 2020 01:30 PM PST Former President Barack Obama told Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) during the 2016 election that Donald Trump is a 'fascist' who must be kept out of the White House. The statement, made while Obama's DOJ was using spies to surveil the Trump campaign in the Russiagate scandal, is claimed by Kaine in an upcoming documentary about Hillary Clinton, according to CBS News. Kaine, Clinton's running mate on the Democratic ticket, recounts the call during an exchange with Clinton that was caught on camera in 2016. Kaine's wife, Anne Holton, was also present. More  | ||
| Trump questions why NPR exists Posted: 27 Jan 2020 01:00 PM PST President Trump questioned why NPR exists following his secretary of State's reportedly heated clash with one of the media organization's reporters. The president on Sunday re-tweeted conservative radio host Mark Levin's tweet that asked, "Why does NPR still exist?" "A very good question!" Trump posted with Levin's tweet. A very good question! https://t.co/8z6uQLKz8M — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2020 Levin inquired about the publicly funded but privately owned national radio station, saying there are "thousands" of radio stations in the country and satellite radio. "Why are we paying for this big-government, Democrat Party propaganda operation," Levin wrote. More  | ||
| Stuck In Sinus Hell? Common Nasal Sprays May Be Best Option For Relief Posted: 27 Jan 2020 12:30 PM PST Stuffy sinuses making you miserable? Before scheduling a doctor's appointment, you might want to be more diligent with over-the-counter (OTC) nasal sprays. According to a recent study, regular, consistent use of saline or cortico-steroid nasal sprays can help reduce antibiotic and oral steroid use for symptom flareups. The medical term for congested sinuses is chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is to the sinuses what asthma is to the lungs. Those who suffer from the condition experience half or more of the following symptoms: nasal obstruction, nasal drainage, facial pain/pressure and decreased sense of smell — for at least 12 weeks. Though not fatal like asthma, CRS produces a lot of misery along with the mucus. A team of researchers led by the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine studied 150 patients who were being managed for chronic rhinosinusitis at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. The results of the study showed that OTC saline or cortico-steroid sprays help with symptoms by thinning out mucus and relieving sinus swelling, thus reducing substantially the need for prescription drugs.

| CHINA: Coronavirus Could Spread Two Weeks Before Symptoms Show Posted: 27 Jan 2020 12:00 PM PST A Chinese health official reports the Wuhan novel coronavirus could be contagious for up to two weeks before a patient becomes symptomatic. This means people who are not yet showing symptoms of coronavirus-related illness could be spreading the virus to other contacts. China's National Health Commission Minister Ma Xiaowei told reporters during a press briefing on Sunday said the incubation period for the novel coronavirus is one to 14 days, Reuters reported. In a shocking continuation, the health commissioner said the virus is contagious during the incubation period — before patients exhibit symptoms of illness. This is a dramatic difference from the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2002 and 2003 when only patients exhibiting symptoms could spread the disease. Dr. William Schaffner, an advisor to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told CNN, "This is a game changer." More here  | ||
| Des Moines Register Says Warren Would ‘Treat Truth As Something That Matters’ Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:30 AM PST Ahead of the Iowa caucuses next week, The Des Moines Register endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren, saying she would "treat truth as something that matters." Yes, they suggested that Elizabeth Warren, who lied about being a Native American, lied when she promised to serve her full Senate term if re-elected in 2018, lied when she said her children attended public schools, lied when she said her father worked as a janitor, lied when she said she was fired for being "visibly pregnant," has a knack for being honest. Warren has a difficult relationship with the truth (to put it mildly). She keeps getting caught stretching the truth, but the Register, along with the New York Times, think she's the best candidate in the race for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination.

| CNN Argues Trump Legal Team is Success, But Too Male and Too White. Posted: 27 Jan 2020 10:30 AM PST Following a swift and decisive round of opening arguments by the Trump legal team in the Senate impeachment trial, members of the GOP and staunch followers of the President were left encouraged. But they were not the only ones. Even oft-antagonistic CNN agreed with the sentiment of a strong performance by Trump's team. CNN legal analyst and liberal commentator Jeffrey Toobin shocked viewers when he admitted that the Republicans were "winning" the impeachment trial. Here is what he said. "Again, I just think the Republicans are winning here. The president is winning here. And as long as they don't completely fall on their faces, which they're all competent lawyers, they're not going to do that, I think that's fine for them." However, despite his comments acknowledging the GOP's success, he was quick to point out the lack of diversity on Trump's legal team. He further stated that "President Trump has too many white men as lawyers," needing something negative to spin for CNN viewers. More  | ||

| Lt. Col. Vindman Facing Calls to Be Court-Martialed Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:45 AM PST Despite U.S. whistleblower protections and warnings against reprisals, a former Trump and Bush administration advisor believes Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman must be "court-martialed" for speaking out against the president and violating his chain of command. Christian Whiton tweeted Saturday: "To protect the military from being seen as political, Vindman must be court-martialed for speaking contemptuously of the President and violating the chain of command. The law isn't optional just because an officer hates his commander in chief." Whiton is not the first one to call for Vindman answering to his violation of chain of command when he facilitated the whistleblower's complaint against President Donald Trump and subsequently testifying against the president in the House impeachment inquiry. The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis tweeted in November: "Vindman was insubordinate, ignored chain of command, leaked, and lied to Congress about not knowing who the whistleblower is, when he clearly knows because he was the whistleblower's primary source. "He deserves to be court-martialed under the UCMJ." More  | ||
| Sick passenger at BWI didn’t meet coronavirus testing criteria Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:30 AM PST A passenger on a Southwest flight who recently traveled to China and had flu-like symptoms was taken off the flight at BWI Marshall Airport on Saturday. They were evaluated by state medical officials but did not meet federal criteria for coronavirus testing. The crew contacted the airport about the passenger ahead of its arrival, according to Fran Phillips, deputy secretary for public health for Maryland's Department of Health. "The airport out of abundance of caution notified state authorities and wanted to make certain that this individual was handled properly," said Phillips. Phillips said a medical team met the plane and transported the man to a medical facility, where he was examined. More  | ||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:15 AM PST Southwest Airlines has removed a passenger from a flight amid concerns over coronavirus because they had recently traveled to Beijing and was displaying 'flu-like symptoms'. The virus can cause fever, coughing, wheezing and pneumonia. It is a member of the Coronavirus family that's a close cousin to the deadly SARS and MERS viruses that have caused outbreaks in the past. The sick passenger had completed the journey from Las Vegas but was escorted off the plane once it landed at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Saturday afternoon. In a video from a fellow passenger, a health official is heard explaining the action was 'because of this heightened time, we are just using an abundance of caution'. More  | ||
| Sanctuary City Pays Illegal Alien Cash Settlement Over Immigration Hold Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:00 AM PST In the latest example of sanctuary madness, a U.S. city is awarding an illegal immigrant with a cash settlement because police detained him for federal authorities after being arrested for driving under the influence. The 29-year-old perpetrator, Edgar Torres Gutierrez, eventually pled guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving and his pro bono attorneys from a nearby public university sued the city for violating his Constitutional rights as well as a statewide sanctuary law. Under the agreement, Gutierrez will receive $18,750 from taxpayers in the California coastal municipality where he lives illegally. Local police officers will also be forced to watch a training video involving sanctuary measures for the next two years. Emboldened by sanctuary policies and open-borders groups that offer free legal representation, a growing number of illegal immigrants are filing lawsuit demanding rights in the U.S. More here  | ||

| Sweden And Its Welfare State In Crisis Posted: 27 Jan 2020 08:00 AM PST The Swedish welfare state has often been praised by the left in the United States. After the migration crisis of 2015, however, when Sweden was flooded by Syrian refugee claimants, Sweden is now facing a welfare crisis that threatens the entire Swedish welfare state model. Sweden had 9.7 million inhabitants in 2015, before it received 162,000 asylum seekers. 70% of those asylum seekers came from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. 70% of those asylum seekers were also men. The migration crisis created an unsustainable financial and social situation that caused the Swedish political establishment to rethink its stance on asylum migration, which, until then, had been extremely liberal. Asylum migration has continued, nevertheless. Between 2016 and 2018, more than 70,000 additional migrants have applied for asylum in Sweden, and more than 105,000 asylum migrants have been granted asylum. There is a demographic impact from migration that affects Sweden's national and cultural identity, as well as the crushing economic impact on Sweden's welfare state. More  | ||
| Why won't Hillary Clinton just go away? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 07:30 AM PST Hillary Clinton promised in 2016 that she would make history, and she did. She lost a winnable election where she enjoyed every conceivable advantage over her opponent, including a roughly 2-to-1 edge in campaign spending. Clinton then went on to become the first failed nominee in modern American history who cannot manage to move on. John McCain returned to the Senate after his loss in 2008 to Barack Obama. John Kerry similarly went back to work in the Senate after the 2004 election and later joined Obama's administration. Al Gore still complains about losing in 2000 to George W. Bush, but he also found a new calling and made his mark as a (self-appointed) spokesman for the planet. Bob Dole left politics altogether after his defeat in 1996 and went on to star in commercials for Pepsi and Viagra. George H. W. Bush split his time after 1992 between charitable work and his vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine. Walter Mondale returned to his law firm. Jimmy Carter has Habitat for Humanity. More  | ||

| Three rockets hit US embassy in Baghdad Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:30 AM PST Three rockets slammed into the US embassy in Iraq's capital on Sunday in the first direct hit reported after months of close calls, as thousands of protesters kept up anti-government sit-ins across the country. The attack marked a dangerous escalation in the spree of rocket attacks in recent months that have targeted the embassy or Iraqi military bases where American troops are deployed. None of the attacks has been claimed but Washington has repeatedly blamed Iran-backed military factions in Iraq. On Sunday, one rocket hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time while two others landed nearby, a security source told AFP. A senior Iraqi official told AFP at least one person was wounded, but it was not immediately clear how serious the injuries were and whether the person was an American national or an Iraqi staff member working at the mission.
