COVID Sends Harvey Weinstein Back to the Hospital

Source: daily beast


Brett Bachman Published Jul. 26, 2024 1:22AM EDT


Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized this week yet again after contracting COVID and developing double pneumonia, a representative for the disgraced Hollywood mogul told NBC News Thursday. In addition to the maladies he recently contracted, Weinstein, 72, is also being treated for “conditions that he is still afflicted with on a daily basis such as diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and various other conditions,” his prison consultant Craig Rothfeld told the network. He is currently being treated in the Bellevue Hospital prison ward in New York City. Weinstein was found guilty of rape in both New York and Los Angeles—though the New York conviction was overturned on appeal. He is set to be retried this fall and may even face additional charges, prosecutors said, because new accusers have since come forward to testify. He is still imprisoned on a 16-year bid for the Los Angeles offenses.

Gabby Giffords: Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren--and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly

Glad she is speaking out.


@GabbyGiffords
Vice President @KamalaHarris
is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly
and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.

Biden just got one step closer to replacing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy




Biden just got one step closer to replacing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy

Carl Gibson July 25, 2024

Ever since Postmaster General Louis DeJoy — a major Republican donor — was selected to head the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 2020, he's been enacting massively unpopular policies criticized by postal workers and Democrats alike. Now, President Joe Biden may soon be able to replace him.

On Thursday, Politico congressional correspondent Anthony Adragna reported that Biden was nominating former Rep. Val Demings (D-Florida) to fill the last remaining vacancy on the USPS Board of Governors. She, along with former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, are now awaiting confirmation by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Gary Peters (D-Michigan).

Should both Demings and Walsh be confirmed, that would give Biden seven appointees on the nine-member board overseeing USPS. And because the Postmaster General's hiring and firing is up to the board and not Biden, that could mean that DeJoy could be removed from his post by the time Biden leaves office in January of 2025.

Biden appointees have held a majority on the USPS board since 2022, when three of his appointees were confirmed by Peters' committee. However, his appointees have been slow to fire DeJoy given his close partnership with the Biden administration on clean energy policy. Politico reported last year that DeJoy is rolling out a plan to add roughly 106,000 new electric vehicles to the USPS' fleet of mail delivery trucks, with 66,000 of those trucks on the road by 2028. Biden's landmark Inflation Reduction Act allocated $3 billion to the initiative, and DeJoy has partnered with veteran Democratic strategist John Podesta to implement his plan...............................

Texas police tried to arrest a librarian for checking out a book by civil rights icon, Toni Morrison....

My god! A two year investigation--of librarians, and even student names who checked out certain books!!
The DA declined to press charges--but you can bet LOTS of misery was caused and lots of tax payers money out the window!!
It is a short video-to the point.

This Project2025 gets scarier day by day. This Roberts guy sounds very sinister!!



Trump’s friend, Project 2025 founder Kevin Roberts, issued a cryptic warning and admitted to an even deeper, hidden agenda:

“We are winning. …Some [victories are] in ways that the other side doesn’t yet know
…And we’re not going to tell you everything that’s coming.”
