Will Republicans stay home during the Senate run-off election in Georgia? Some Trump supporters are pushing for it.

À l’occasion du référendum du 4 octobre dernier, 53 % des Néo-Calédoniens qui se sont exprimés ont rejeté l’indépendance. Ils étaient 56 % à faire ce choix il y a deux ans, au moment du premier référendum. L’Accord de Nouméa[1], signé en 1998 entre le gouvernement français et les responsables des partis politiques locaux (indépendantistes et « loyalistes »), prévoit, en cas de victoire du « non » aux deux premiers référendums, la possibilité d’une troisième consultation d’ici 12 à 24 mois.

Résumé

American billionaires haven’t been just immune to the pandemic, they have been thriving in it, drastically increasing their collective wealth. An analysis by Chuck Collins at the Institute for Policy Studies found that American billionaires have been their wealth grow by $1 trillion since March of this year – more than 34 percent.

CNN has just published the first of what might be a series of reports on a cache of new documents purporting to prove that the information disseminated by Chinese government officials was markedly different from the numbers, assessments and projections being shared with top-level officials. While that doesn’t prove China lied to the public, it’s definitely not a good look (not that any rational person takes China’s COVID numbers at face value).

The nuclear-powered USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its strike group are in transit to the Persian Gulf where it will oversee the Trump-ordered withdrawal of up to 5,000 American troops from the region in the coming weeks and months. It’s part of Trump’s belated efforts to drastically reduce American presence from Iraq and Afghanistan and to bring the troops home.

French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed that he’s “very shocked” over what he called the “shameful aggression” of four Paris police officers who beat a black man inside his own business merely for not wearing a mask.

The officers didn’t know they were being filmed, according to French media, and it was uploaded to the internet Thursday, after which Macron summoned his interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, to the Elysée to demand “firm punishment” for those police involved.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito recently gave a speech to the Federalist Society in which he claimed that COVID-19 restrictions have reduced freedom of religion to a “second-class” liberty.

Donald Trump’s presidential pardon for his former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, is  only the first in what is expected to be a flood of pardons intended to protect Trump’s inner circle from the consequences of illegal behavior.

Since news broke hours ago of the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, on the streets in a city just east of Tehran, Iranian leaders have blamed an Israeli assassination plot.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said there were “Serious indications of Israeli role” in killing of Fakhrizadeh, who subsequently died of his wounds in a hospital. What Iran has dubbed a terrorist attack reportedly involved a hail of machine gun fire and a suicide bomber explosion.

Responding to the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to block New York from setting capacity limits at houses of worship during the pandemic, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has said the ruling was ‘irrelevant.”

During a Thanksgiving Day conference call with reporters, Cuomo said the order was moot because the religious institutions involved in the lawsuit are no longer in designated red and orange zones in Queens and Brooklyn – therefore the restrictions, capping attendance at houses of worship – no longer apply.
