New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday ordered his state’s citizens to limit gatherings at private residences just two weeks before Thanksgiving.
The governor, as part of a broader crackdown on activities to slow the spread of the coronavirus, announced new guidelines on Twitter for what New Yorkers can do inside of their own property.
“New York follows the science,” Cuomo claimed.
“We know indoor gatherings and parties are a major source of COVID spread. To slow the spread, NYS will limit indoor gatherings at private residences to 10 people,” he added.
“This limit takes effect Friday at 10pm,” the Democrat concluded.

Households with more than 10 residents are an exception to the restriction.
WGRZ-TV reported the limit on gatherings inside of private residences will coincide with new orders for businesses as cases of the coronavirus continue to rise in the state.
For example, any business with a liquor license will be forced to close at 10 p.m. nightly. Gyms will also be forced to close at 10 p.m. nightly. Restrictions on indoor dining could soon follow.
Citing contact tracing, Cuomo blamed new cases of the virus on house parties, gyms and the food and drink service industry.
“If you look at where the cases are coming from, if you do the contact tracing, you’ll see they’re coming from three main areas: establishments where alcohol is served, gyms, and indoor gatherings at private homes,” he said.
“The reason we have been successful in reducing the spread in New York is we have been a step ahead of COVID. You know where it’s going; stop it before it gets there. And you know where it’s going by following the science,” Cuomo added.
“This is the calibration that we’ve talked about: increase economic activity, watch the positivity rate – if the positivity rate starts to go up, back off on the economic activity. It was never binary — economic activity or public health — it was always both.”
The governor’s orders were quickly criticized for their focus on apparently targeting private citizens and businesses, as demonstrators and others affiliated with Democratic causes continue to go on in the state.

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, whose elderly in-laws died from the coronavirus in New York nursing homes, hit at Cuomo for some of his previous actions, which did not appear to be science-based.
Dean reacted to Cuomo’s new orders by tweeting, “Wow. As @NYGovCuomo slammed a Covid vaccine under Trump, the governor skipped 17 meetings with the White House coronavirus task force and refused a one-on-one meeting with Alex Azar. Perhaps his book tour was more of a priority? Worst. Leader. Ever.”

Cuomo recently released a book titled “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
Now, with New Yorkers preparing for more restrictions, Cuomo’s critics are reminding the governor about the book, and also about his state’s selective enforcement of coronavirus restrictions.

Melissa Fleischut, the president and CEO of the New York State Restaurant Association, also criticized the effects Cuomo’s actions would have on her industry in a statement obtained by WGRZ.
“Today’s news is a huge blow to the restaurant industry that is desperately trying to stay afloat.

Yes America as we used to know it is coming to an end. There is no patriotic people in the new generations. It’s all about catering to crybabies. Our freedoms are in danger.

This is ridiculous. Stop with the fear-mongering. And thank my veteran husband for his service. (BTW, we both voted for Biden. HE’S the one who actually supports the military.) — Christine Piper (@seapipe) November 11, 2020
I say this with love–you are so joined at the hip with President Trump that you are unable to see reality. Your own father warned that crossing the line between politics and religion was dangerous.

He believed Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation. — Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) December 20, 2019
I’ll never forget that day in 2016 when my grandfather, @billygraham, shrugged off the symptoms of Parkinson’s and hydrocephalus, got up out of bed for the first time in a year, drove down to the polling station, and cast his vote. What a glorious memory! — Aram (@aramtch) December 21, 2019
The State, a Greenville, South Carolina-based newspaper, recently reported Franklin Graham’s niece, Jerushah Duford, had joined forces with The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group made up of former Republicans, in an effort to elect Joe Biden.

Incumbent Democratic Rep. Max Rose was yet another Democrat to suffer an ouster on Election Day, with local Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis reclaiming a seat controlled by Republicans not long ago.
New York’s 11th Congressional District was lost to Rose in 2018, after Republican Rep. Daniel Donovan failed to keep the electorate fired up in the years that followed GOP predecessor Michael Grimm’s massive tax fraud scheme and subsequent resignation. The staunch conservatism of this year’s Republican nominee for the seat was expected to force the race down to the wire, with local voter fraud investigations threatening to complicate matters further.
Malliotakis still managed to declare reclamation efforts complete on Nov. 5, however, carrying a more than 15-percentage-point margin of roughly 37,000 votes with 85 percent of precincts reporting.
Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District
Public servant Stephanie Bice came out with a similarly substantial win in urban Oklahoma, ending a brief blue stint in the state’s capital.
The state senator has been a local party superstar since stepping into the political scene just six years ago, helping to craft several major pieces of legislation, including a state liquor policy overhaul that created an estimated 5,000 jobs. A devout Catholic, Bice ran first and foremost on the pro-life agenda, rather than economic policy.
Bice led incumbent Democratic Rep. Kendra Horn by a 4.2-percentage-point margin of nearly 13,000 votes at the time of this report.
Nancy Mace of South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District
Another pro-life candidate to turn a blue district from deep in the trenches this cycle was Nancy Mace.
Familiar with the fight, Mace was the first woman to graduate from The Military College of South Carolina as a member of the Corps of Cadets in 1999. She would go on to earn a masters degree in mass communications from the University of Georgia in 2004, kickstarting a career in corporate technology consulting and real estate before taking her financial expertise to the state assembly, where she has been heralded as one of the most fiscally conservative members.
Mace seems to have just snuck out her victory over incumbent Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham, with a 1.2-percentage-point buffer of fewer than 6,000 votes at the time of this report.
Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee’s 1st Congressional District
Heartland pharmacist Diana Harshbarger also saw success on Nov. 3, ensuring the grit-and-grace image traditionally broadcast by conservative women on the campaign trail was not left off the podium this cycle.
A first-generation college graduate and business owner for roughly three decades, Harshbarger ran her campaign “Tennessee Tough,” pushing border security, term limits and the Second Amendment to the top of her policy platform in one of Tennessee’s most solid Republican strongholds.
Harshbarger left little on the table for opponent Blair Walsingham, boasting a wide 52.4-percentage-point lead of more than 159,000 votes as of Wednesday.
Beth Van Duyne of Texas’ 24th Congressional District
Despite concerns of a blue wave in the Lone Star State, local politician Beth Van Duyne also managed to help cement a stronger Republican caucus in the House with a win in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Running an unorthodox conservative campaign, Van Duyne focused in on health care, government corruption and complex issues of national security on the campaign trail. A single mother, she was the first female mayor of Irving, Texas, having left home before the age of 17 to put herself through college.
Van Duyne was declared victorious Tuesday, stonewalling an impassioned Democratic effort to flip Texas’ 24th Congressional District with a 1.3-percentage-point lead of less than 5,000 votes in light of opponent Candace Valenzuela’s concession.
Other Conservative Women To Keep an Eye Out For
Young Kim of California, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa and Claudia Tenney of New York also stand to expand the number of pro-life women on Capitol Hill, with legal challenges and recounts still ongoing in the 2020 presidential election.

westernjournal--2020-11-12--CNN Brings on Anti-Semite Lawrence Wilkerson To Praise Joe Biden

In case you haven ’ t been watching CNN since they called the presidential race for Democrat Joe Biden on Saturday , you ’ re probably unfamiliar with the general setup of how the coverage works .
The basic arrangement , when the network isn ’ t opining on the perfidy of President Donald Trump ’ s decision to challenge the results in court , is to bring two or three mildly famous faces on to discuss how Biden will be the soothing balm America needs at this moment .
The vetting of these faces , however , might be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lawrence Wilkerson .
He ’ s a beloved figure on the left , having made the journey from Colin Powell ’ s chief of staff during his time as secretary of defense to the kind of guy who makes visits to far-left news outlets such as Democracy Now , where he can make statements like “ America exists today to make war.
” This and other comments — particularly of the anti-Semitic variety — were overlooked by CNN when the network brought on Wilkerson , now a fellow with the Quincy Institute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was enlisted specifically to talk about the Trump administration ’ s refusal to concede ; he ’ s a member of the National Task Force on Election Crises , which was set up to respond to a situation where one side protested the results of this year ’ s election .
( Well , really only one side . )
What ’ s amazing is that with all of this gravitas , no one has seen fit to question Wilkerson about remarks he ’ s made over the years about the power of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ AIPAC in particular.
” Yet , as The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday , he ’ s been making these remarks for years .
“ In a 2007 documentary Wilkerson said the ‘ Jewish lobby ’ had more influence on the Bush administration ’ s decision to invade Iraq than the administration ’ s belief that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction , ” The Free Beacon reported Wednesday .
“ He specifically criticized Jewish officials including Bush national security aide Elliott Abrams , former deputy secretary of defense Paul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Doug Feith.
” On Tuesday , he was criticizing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for his remarks that “ there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.
” “ We ’ ve had secretaries of state from Thomas Jefferson to William Jennings Bryan — John Kerry , who wanted to run for president , ” Wilkerson said .
“ But they didn ’ t do it from the podium of the secretary of state , ” he said .
This was what Pompeo was up to , according to Wilkerson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little kernel of Trump ’ s base.
” As for Biden , he ’ s “ one of the most experienced people , certainly in security and foreign policy , to come to the White House in a long time , ” Wilkerson said .

westernjournal--2020-11-12--As Thousands of Biden Backers Celebrated, NYC Store Owner Targeted for Being Open

On Saturday , tens of thousands of people teemed throughout the streets of New York City to celebrate Joe Biden ’ s apparent election victory .
Yes , they were outdoors — at least as far as we could see .
However , the main celebration was in Times Square , an area not known for vast swaths of affordable residential property .

New York City has strange priorities.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of people teemed throughout the streets of New York City to celebrate Joe Biden’s apparent election victory. Yes, they were outdoors — at least as far as we could see.
However, the main celebration was in Times Square, an area not known for vast swaths of affordable residential property. That meant thousands who used public transportation, Ubers or taxis to get to and from Times Square, or other celebrations. There were also, one suspects, parties that took place out of view and indoors.
There were no warnings from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio about these celebrations. Nothing about partying safe. No interference from the authorities.
Meanwhile, in the very same city, authorities issued a summons to a small craft business called Pottery and Glass Land for violating the state’s so-called “red zone” restrictions for merely being open, even if she wasn’t serving customers. Owner Ilena Cagan told the Orthodox Jewish news site Voz Iz Neias she was packing up stuff to ship and, it “literally looked like a drug bust.”
This was the video of the action that went viral after New York City Councilman Chaim Deutsch tweeted it:
Last night, as thousands of New Yorkers partied in the streets, sheriffs entered this pottery shop, owned by a single mom of five. With no income coming into her “red zone” business, the owner was harassed while preparing craft kits to sell for the upcoming holiday. pic.twitter.com/mgjuGK0YEM — Councilman Deutsch (@ChaimDeutsch) November 8, 2020
“Last night, as thousands of New Yorkers partied in the streets, sheriffs entered this pottery shop, owned by a single mom of five,” Deutsch wrote in a Twitter post Sunday, the day after the election was called for Biden by the media.
Is this kind of COVID-19 crackdown called for? Yes No

“With no income coming into her ‘red zone’ business, the owner was harassed while preparing craft kits to sell for the upcoming holiday.”
In the video, Cagan laments that “everyone else is open, and I’m not allowed to be open.”
When the officer speaking with her intimates that’s a point she can raise with someone else, she responds “that’s very nice, but it’s about paying my bills.”
According to Voz Iz Neias, Cagan was hoping to open on Sunday, but spent Saturday evening simply packing up stuff with her assistant. Then, at 8 p.m., she was interrupted by law enforcement agents, who said they had a tip she was holding classes in her Flatbush, Brooklyn business.
“I told them to look around,” Cagan told Voz Iz Neias. “There was no one there but me.”
And talk about priorities!
“They were all making parties last night and I had the head lieutenant of whatever precinct waiting for me,” Cagan told the news site. “It was as if I had pounds and pounds of drugs in my store with the amount of people that showed up. It wasn’t just regular building department inspectors — it was sheriffs with a list of people to target.”
In case you haven’t noticed the problematical undertone here, Cagan is a Jewish woman with a business based in the heavily Jewish community of Flatbush; Mayor de Blasio has aimed New York City’s officialdom at the Jewish community with a vehemence that consistently raises eyebrows. This incident won’t help, particularly since conservatives quickly picked the video up:
Well, small business owners are the last vestige of capitalist America, so yeah… https://t.co/Y0ukBVRD4p — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) November 9, 2020
And, of course, there were these reactions:
Looks staged. Like seriously. — Jeremy_Hugh (@jeremy_hugh) November 8, 2020
This DEFINITELY is staged! — Mac (@MLForrest) November 9, 2020
Yes, a business owner managed to stage a raid with uniformed officers, had an assistant record it (apparently with such steadiness to call attention to itself) and then got no pushback from New York City officials after the video went viral and published by Fox News. What’re the odds?
The video again calls attention to the city’s strange selective enforcement. Moving beyond the curious focus on the Jewish community, there’s also the issue of the social activities the city wants to quash and is willing to countenance.
On Monday, de Blasio said at a news conference that “one of the most crucial things that’ll happen in the next two months, of course, is the holidays, and the holidays we associate with travel and the holidays we associate with big indoor gatherings, big meals together – that, unfortunately, this year can’t be the case, because if you look at the numbers that we’re going to go over now, you’re going to see loud and clear we’re in a dangerous situation and we have to change our habits.”
In short, no Christmas, no Hanukkah, no Thanksgiving. And as for Turkey Day traditions, there also won’t be a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.
There won’t be a live Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday. Concerns about novel coronavirus spurred organizers to move the iconic celebration online, the mayor said. https://t.co/ekCUYsuZPf — Spectrum News NY1 (@NY1) September 14, 2020
But congregate on the streets all you want because you’re a Joe Biden fan. No one, apparently, was willing to interfere with that one.
And then there are Gov. Cuomo’s “red zones.”
According to Patch, the red zone in Brooklyn — which necessitates the most restrictive measures on businesses — was downgraded to an orange zone earlier this week, which means businesses like Pottery and Glass Land can reopen. Wonderful. That still doesn’t properly explain the decision to send a phalanx of officers to investigate claims Cagan was holding classes at the same time parties were happening all over the city because Biden was declared the victor.
This isn’t about stopping the coronavirus. It’s COVID-19 theater. It’s meaningless — unless, of course, you’re on the receiving end of this treatment. Then it could cost you your livelihood.

westernjournal--2020-11-12--Big Tech Firm Adds Outrageous Biden Election Disclaimer to Unrelated Trump Post

Both Joe Biden and President Donald Trump commemorated Veterans Day on Tuesday , as was to be expected .
Also to be expected : A major difference in how their visits to memorial sites were covered .
Coverage of Biden ’ s visit to the Philadelphia Korean War Memorial included a a KYW-TV article with a quote from an attendee pointing out that it was “ [ r ] eally , really , really cool ” Biden made an appearance .
The Associated Press , meanwhile , reported that the president ’ s visit to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Strangely enough , the president ’ s visit was also subject to a social media fact-check .
Not because he made any claims in his post about it , mind you .
Just because someone apparently wanted to rub in that Biden was declared the winner by the mainstream media over the weekend .
Here was President Trump ’ s Instagram post from the event .
Note that he made no claims in it , nothing that could raise the hackles of the censors .
That didn ’ t matter .
TRENDING : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden Is 'Having Phone Calls ' with Foreign Countries So , when the president commemorates Veterans Day , Instagram sees fit to tell us that “ Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election.
” Follow the link out of morbid curiosity and you ’ ll see this : This was applied to a post that said nothing to the contrary .
It ’ s the commander in chief visiting Arlington National Cemetery .
The addendum is wholly extraneous ; no one who was reading it didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ line .
I ’ m curious what the impetus behind this was .
Let ’ s say some readers don ’ t believe the election has been settled fairly .
Perhaps they think the affidavits that have been filed by poll workers and Postal Service employees are suggestive of voter fraud .
Maybe they don ’ t believe election officials are being fully forthcoming or nonpartisan in the matter , or that mail-in voting wasn ’ t conducted in accordance with established rules .
These hypothetical readers go to President Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the bottom of the Veterans Day post that says “ Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election.
” They follow the link , see Biden ’ s smiling visage and some desultory bullet points .
Like Saul in Damascus , after being dumbstruck by the presence of the Lord on the road , the scales fell from their eyes : “ Whoa , ” one exclaims .
“ And here I thought there was evidence of irregularities .
But now Instagram is saying Biden ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so blind ?
” If the culture of misguided paternalism is so strong at Instagram ( which is owned by Facebook ) that its employees legitimately saw something like this scene playing out on the other side of the iPhone screen , it ’ s going to be a cold four years for the content moderators there .

Both Joe Biden and President Donald Trump commemorated Veterans Day on Tuesday, as was to be expected. Also to be expected: A major difference in how their visits to memorial sites were covered.
Coverage of Biden’s visit to the Philadelphia Korean War Memorial included a a KYW-TV article with a quote from an attendee pointing out that it was “[r]eally, really, really cool” Biden made an appearance. The Associated Press, meanwhile, reported that the president’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia “belies White House in tumult.”
Strangely enough, the president’s visit was also subject to a social media fact-check. Not because he made any claims in his post about it, mind you. Just because someone apparently wanted to rub in that Biden was declared the winner by the mainstream media over the weekend.
Here was President Trump’s Instagram post from the event.
Note that he made no claims in it, nothing that could raise the hackles of the censors. That didn’t matter.
So, when the president commemorates Veterans Day, Instagram sees fit to tell us that “Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election.”
Follow the link out of morbid curiosity and you’ll see this:
This was applied to a post that said nothing to the contrary. It’s the commander in chief visiting Arlington National Cemetery. The addendum is wholly extraneous; no one who was reading it didn’t know this is the mainstream media party line.
I’m curious what the impetus behind this was. Let’s say some readers don’t believe the election has been settled fairly. Perhaps they think the affidavits that have been filed by poll workers and Postal Service employees are suggestive of voter fraud. Maybe they don’t believe election officials are being fully forthcoming or nonpartisan in the matter, or that mail-in voting wasn’t conducted in accordance with established rules.
These hypothetical readers go to President Trump’s Instagram page and see a warning attached to the bottom of the Veterans Day post that says “Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election.” They follow the link, see Biden’s smiling visage and some desultory bullet points.
Like Saul in Damascus, after being dumbstruck by the presence of the Lord on the road, the scales fell from their eyes: “Whoa,” one exclaims. “And here I thought there was evidence of irregularities. But now Instagram is saying Biden’s the winner. How could I have been so blind?”
If the culture of misguided paternalism is so strong at Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) that its employees legitimately saw something like this scene playing out on the other side of the iPhone screen, it’s going to be a cold four years for the content moderators there.
I’m going to operate under the assumption they didn’t, however, and this was all part of the media’s misguided attempt to use Veterans Day as a canvas to paint the narrative of bitter clingers in the White House against a blandly victorious Joe Biden.
Here’s the first sentence of the AP’s story: “Donald Trump spent 10 minutes in public Wednesday honoring America’s war veterans — a veneer of normalcy for a White House that’s frozen by a defeated president mulling his options, mostly forgoing the mechanics of governing and blocking his inevitable successor.”
Hello to you, too.
Meanwhile, here’s a graf from KYW-TV’s coverage — the source of the quote from the gentleman who thought Joe Biden’s appearance was “[r]eally, really, really cool”:

This isn’t to denigrate mask-wearing so much as it is to question the prophylactic qualities conferred by wearing two of them. There aren’t any, and it’s blatant COVID-19 theater, but you’re not going to hear that called out.
All of which is to point out that to the media — and to Instagram, apparently — Veterans Day isn’t about veterans, at least when President Trump and Joe Biden are involved. Even as the president honors those who serve, we need to be told the election wasn’t called in his favor. And for what end? Nothing.

Farmer Mike Tuinstra from Verndale, Minnesota, lost the love of his life on Nov. 2. Just 40 years old, his wife Shanna was a beloved member of the community, devoted to teaching and bringing agricultural awareness to schools.
Mike said that Shanna passed away while he and his 13-year-old daughter Haylee held her after she had trouble breathing.
She stopped breathing, and when first responders arrived, they could not revive her.
She had an enlarged heart, which may have factored into her passing, but Mike said she died of natural causes.
“Our heartfelt condolences to the Tuinstra and Keskitalo families as they grieve the sudden loss of Shanna (Keskitalo) Tuinstra, 40, of Verndale (and New York Mills) this past week,” the Wadena-Deer Creek Public Schools Facebook page shared on Tuesday.
“Shanna and her husband, Michael, visited WDC Elementary classes in 2018 and 2019 to educate our students about agriculture and its importance. Shanna loved children and the opportunity to visit with kids about farming.”
Two days after her passing, father and daughter wrote a post that they shared from their mother’s Facebook account to let her friends know of the sad news.
“This is my farewell to all you, as written by Haylee and Mikey,” a post from Nov. 4 read. “Hey friends, if you didn’t know I just recently passed away this past Monday.

“One thing though, please pray for my husband Mike and daughter Haylee, also my whole family just in general. I [didn’t] want to leave them in a spot like this but it was my time for the Lord Thanks for understanding.”
Mike was left to deal with his loss as a harvest loomed ahead: He had a full crop of corn that he and Shanna would have handled — but now, grieving and without his partner, it was going to be much more difficult.
“We’re a team together,” Mike told the Wadena Pioneer Journal.
Thankfully, local farmers heard what happened and weren’t about to let one of their own struggle along on his own. Local Chris Neal initially approached Mike with an offer of help on behalf of area farmers, and while Mike resisted at first, eventually he accepted.
On Saturday, the local volunteers filled the roads leading to the farm, bringing tractors, grain carts, combines and semis. In all, there were over 70 people (including more than 20 farmers) who turned up ready to help.
“People used to do this all the time back in the day,” Mike said. The crew did all the work for him as he looked on.
Mike and Haylee have each other as they move forward and process their loss, and they know their community loves them and is willing to back them.
Despite losing her so soon, Mike is thankful for the time he had with Shanna.
“I’m so grateful that [God] waited as long as he did,” he said, “that we could have 13 years together.”
