Judge Merrick B. Garland appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday to begin his confirmation process to become the attorney general.

While Judge Garland is expected to garner broad bipartisan support to run the Justice Department, he is facing questions from Democrats and Republicans about how he will handle myriad politically charged matters that the department now faces: a federal tax fraud investigation into President Biden’s son, a special counsel’s inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation, and the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that has begun to edge closer to former President Donald J. Trump’s inner circle.

He will also need to reinvigorate the department’s civil rights division as America undergoes a painful and destabilizing reckoning with systemic racism, the likes of which the nation has not seen in more than half a century. The Trump administration worked to curb civil rights protections for transgender people and minorities. It also barred policies intended to combat systemic racism, sexism, homophobia and other implicit biases, which Mr. Trump said did not exist.

In his opening statement before the committee, Judge Garland, 68, vowed to tackle systemic inequality and to combat the resurgent domestic terrorist threat that was stunningly evident on Jan. 6 during the Capitol siege.

He also told the committee that he will not let politics influence the department, which has undertaken a criminal inquiry into Mr. Biden’s son, Hunter, and is looking into whether Obama-era officials erred in their decision to investigate Mr. Trump’s campaign in 2016.

“The attorney general represents the public interest,” he said. “I do not plan to be interfered with by anyone.”

But Judge Garland will likely also asked whether his Justice Department will open new investigations into Mr. Trump, his former administration officials and his inner circle. Some of those officials have been accused by government watchdogs of improper behavior and lying to investigators. It is unclear whether Mr. Trump or his associates will face scrutiny for any connections to the Capitol attack. Mr. Trump was acquitted of inciting insurrection by the Senate in his impeachment trial.

Republicans may try to push Judge Garland to commit to politically charged investigations into Democrats, including Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who misrepresented the number of coronavirus-related deaths in nursing homes, or to appoint a special counsel to investigate Mr. Biden’s son. The Justice Department has asked David C. Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Delaware, to continue to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden.

Last month Judge Garland said he would ensure “that there not be one rule for Democrats and another for Republicans, one rule for friends, the other for foes.”

After clerking for Justice William J. Brennan Jr., Judge Garland took a job at the Justice Department in 1989, as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington under President George H.W. Bush, where he prosecuted public corruption, drug trafficking and fraud cases.

He was chosen by Jamie Gorelick, who was deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton, to serve as her top deputy; in that role, he oversaw the investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing case and other major domestic terrorism cases. He was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1997 with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Judge Garland is best known for being collateral damage in a political power play by Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and then the majority leader, who delayed his Supreme Court confirmation hearing for eight months so that a Republican president could fill the seat left empty by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016.

Civil rights advocates, police unions, Democrats and Republicans have voiced support for Judge Garland’s nomination. A bipartisan group of more than 150 former Justice Department officials, including Democrats such as Eric H. Holder Jr. and Loretta Lynch, and Republicans like Alberto Gonzales, Michael B. Mukasey and Ken Starr, the independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation, signed a letter supporting him as well.

Judge Garland’s confirmation team has methodically released batches of letters of support in the days leading up to the hearing. The first set of letters sought to demonstrate that he had broad support from both parties and from Justice Department alumni. The second was meant to show that both progressives and law enforcement groups believe that he will fairly consider their interests as he tackles domestic terrorism and hot-button civil rights issues that could negatively impact them.

    Although oil companies are still assessing the damage at the oil rigs, platforms and refineries that were struck by Hurricane Ida, signs point toward a limited impact on gasoline availability and prices.

    AAA has warned of price volatility, and several analysts expect temporary price increases of several cents, but experts are not expecting a dramatic or prolonged disruption to the market.

    “This is not Katrina,” says Richard Joswick, head of oil analytics at S&P Global Platts. After Hurricane Katrina made landfall — exactly 16 years earlier — gas prices immediately shot up by 45 cents and remained elevated for two months.

    More than a million homes were left without power after Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday night as a powerful Category 4 storm. The storm had strengthened rapidly, a phenomenon that is increasingly common for tropical storms as a result of global warming.

    Oil companies checking for damages; Exxon is resuming normal operations

    As Hurricane Ida approached, oil companies rushed to evacuate personnel and shut down operations in the Gulf of Mexico, as is standard practice for an approaching major storm.

    On Sunday, the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement reported that 95.65% of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico had been temporarily closed down, as well as 93.75% of natural gas production.

    Those are eye-popping percentages. But the key question for oil markets is whether any of the infrastructure was damaged. If not, Gulf producers could restart drilling and pumping in a matter of days. However, if equipment was broken by the storms, they could remain offline much longer.

    Companies are in the process of checking for damage. ExxonMobil reports that its Hoover platform was undamaged and is in the process of resuming normal operations. Shell has confirmed that three platforms that were in the storm’s path are “all intact and on location,” although the company doesn’t have an estimate for when production will resume. Other operators, including BP and Equinor, say it is too soon to provide an update.

    The energy data company Enverus says that in general, “early reports do not suggest that there has been severe long-lasting damage to oil infrastructure.” U.S. crude prices dipped slightly on Tuesday, indicating that markets are not worried about a lack of supply.

    Refineries grappling with widespread power outages

    In addition to the offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, a number of refineries along Louisiana’s Gulf Coast were affected by the storm. The Department of Energy reports that at least nine refineries have partially or fully cut production, with about 13% of U.S. refining capacity affected.

    The storm’s most devastating winds passed just east of major refineries, but flooding damage remains a concern. And direct storm damage is not the only risk. Refineries also require electricity — and Hurricane Ida knocked out power for a large swath of Louisiana and Mississippi, with more than a million customers in the dark.

    Damage assessments are still underway, and even if refineries make it through the storm unscathed, it’s not clear how long it will take to restore power to all the facilities. Some analysts are forecasting that it may take weeks, which could be a significant disruption to regional gasoline production.

    The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a waiver for Louisiana and Mississippi, allowing winter gasoline to be sold in the area to address concerns about fuel supply. (Normally, the EPA requires the use of less-volatile, slightly more expensive fuel in the summer, because otherwise hot weather would create more dangerous fumes from gas.)

    Impact on prices expected to be modest; U.S. is now less reliant on oil from the Gulf

    Despite the substantial disruption to oil production and refining, most analysts anticipate a relatively limited impact to the market as a whole.

    That’s not the same as no impact: Gasoline prices have already risen by several cents a gallon, and storm-influenced price fluctuations could continue for a few weeks. And gas prices were high this summer to begin with. But it’s a far cry from the intense, prolonged disruption that Hurricane Katrina memorably caused.

    There are a few reasons for that. U.S. oil markets have changed dramatically over the last 16 years. The U.S. is less reliant on crude production in the Gulf of Mexico than it used to be, thanks to the rise of shale oil produced in Texas and New Mexico. The U.S. also exports more refined fuel products out of the Gulf now and, in a pinch, can redirect those exports to meet domestic needs.

    Joswick, with S&P Global Platts, also says that the lengthy outages after Katrina had an impact on companies. “The refiners learned their lesson,” he says. “They hardened their facilities. They raised critical equipment up off the ground so it wouldn’t flood, for example.”

    However, he notes, if a second storm strikes the area while production is still recovering, the damage could be far worse.

    Climate change — caused by greenhouse gas emissions, a large portion of which come from burning petroleum products — is causing more damaging storms in the Gulf of Mexico. As the oil industry faces growing scrutiny for its contributions to climate change, producers are also having to grapple with the ongoing consequences.

    Giuliani draws attention with latest trip to Ukraine | TheHill – The Hill
    Giuliani draws attention with latest trip to Ukraine | TheHill – The Hill

    Rudy GiulianiRudy GiulianiBiden gets in testy exchange in Iowa: ‘You’re a damn liar’ Trump claims he asked Ukraine to do US a ‘favor,’ not him The Hill’s Morning Report – Dem dilemma on articles of impeachment MORE, the president’s personal attorney, traveled to Ukraine this week even as an impeachment process focused in part on his involvement in the Trump administration’s policy toward Ukraine accelerated.

    Giuliani met with multiple Ukrainian officials as he continued his effort to counter House Democrats’ impeachment probe and paint an investigation into the Bidens as a matter critical to the relationship between the two countries.

    The trip is sure to draw scrutiny from Democrats, who could draft articles of impeachment against President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrumps light 97th annual National Christmas Tree Trump to hold campaign rally in Michigan ‘Don’t mess with Mama’: Pelosi’s daughter tweets support following press conference comments MORE in a matter of days accusing him of abusing his office by pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, including Democratic presidential candidate Joe BidenJoe BidenTrump to hold campaign rally in Michigan Castro hits fundraising threshold for December debate Buttigieg draws fresh scrutiny, attacks in sprint to Iowa MORE.

    Giuliani has been a central figure in House Democrats’ investigation into Trump’s conduct. He is also reportedly the subject of an ongoing investigation in the Southern District of New York.

    Photos posted on social media show Giuliani met during the week with a former Ukrainian diplomat who has propagated an unsubstantiated theory that Ukraine meddled to help Democrats in the 2016 election. He also huddled with a Ukrainian lawmaker who proposed a joint corruption investigation between the U.S. and Ukraine.

    Giuliani tweeted Thursday that an investigation into Biden’s conduct has not been resolved and until it is will be a major obstacle to the US assisting Ukraine with its anti-corruption reforms.”

    Trump has defended Giuliani in recent weeks when the former New York City mayor has come up in impeachment proceedings, hailing him as a great crime-fighter who cares about corruption.

    But the president sought some distance when he denied late last month that he had directed Giuliani to go to Ukraine on his behalf.

    A White House spokesman said Friday that, to his knowledge, Giuliani is still the president’s personal attorney, but it was unclear if Trump was aware of Giuliani’s latest activities in Ukraine.

    “That’s a question between Rudy and the president,” deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said.

    The New York Times first reported that Giuliani met in Budapest with former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, who Democrats have accused of being part of a smear campaign to oust the former U.S. ambassador in Kyiv.

    A crew from the conservative One America News Network (OAN) was also in tow to film Giuliani’s meetings as part of a counter-narrative to the impeachment hearings.

    Giuliani could not be reached for comment, but his tweets posted throughout his trip gave a glimpse into his effort to dredge up damaging information about Trump’s political opponents.

    “In reviewing my notes, it seems to me that a large-scale joint investigation into Ukraine and the US would uncover and recover billions stolen by crooks, from both countries, at the highest levels,” Giuliani tweeted Friday. “This would be the most effective way to bring our two countries together.”

    The idea of a joint investigation appeared to stem from a meeting with Andriy Derkach, an independent Ukrainian lawmaker who previously served as a member of a pro-Russia party in parliament and as head of Ukrainian intelligence. He reportedly attended a KGB-affiliated high school in Moscow.

    Derkach posted a photo of a meeting with Giuliani on Facebook. The two men can be seen holding a document up, and Derkach wrote that they discussed a joint commission to tackle corruption.

    Giuliani also met with former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko, who has made the dubious claim that he was instructed to gather damaging information about former Trump campaign chairman Paul ManafortPaul John ManafortGiuliani meets with fired Ukrainian prosecutor who pushed Biden, 2016 claims: report Top State Department official tells senators he has not seen evidence of Ukrainian interference Justice Dept releases another round of summaries from Mueller probe MORE.

    “Thank you @RudyGiuliani for your work and what you do for @realDonaldTrump, because we are fighting for the #TRUTH!” Telizhenko tweeted Friday with photos of himself and Giuliani.  “You are a great friend of Ukraine and a Patriot of US. Hope to see you soon back in Kyiv.”

    The meetings come as some Republican lawmakers have increasingly entertained the unfounded theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. The U.S. intelligence committee concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 election.

    Giuliani’s trip came on the heels of a 300-page report from the House Intelligence Committee alleging that Trump made U.S. security aid and a White House meeting for Ukraine conditional on the country announcing investigations into Trump’s political rivals.

    Government officials testified last month that it was Giuliani who was urging Ukraine to announce those investigations, and they alleged that the president’s personal attorney was conducting a shadow foreign policy outside of regular diplomatic channels.

    Giuliani maintained that he was acting on behalf of his client and has insisted he will ultimately produce information that undercuts claims against Trump.

    He was further drawn into the impeachment inquiry when the House Intelligence Committee obtained phone records that showed him in frequent contact with the White House on Aug. 8.

    Giuliani and Trump have both downplayed the call records.

    “You know, is that supposed to be a big deal?” Trump said when asked about the records during a NATO meeting. “I don’t think so. Rudy is a great gentleman, and they’re after him only because he’s done such a good job.”

    But Trump’s allies have long been uneasy about Giuliani’s role, particularly given his propensity to make new revelations during television appearances.

    Giuliani’s latest trip drew more skepticism from some in the GOP, even among Trump’s fiercest defenders.

    “I think it’s a little weird that Rudy Giuliani is over in the Ukraine right now, and I’m not here to defend Rudy Giuliani,” Rep. Matt GaetzMatthew (Matt) GaetzTrade deal talks expand as Congress debates tech legal shield Three legal scholars say Trump should be impeached; one thinks otherwise George Conway calls out Melania Trump after she criticizes impeachment witness: ‘You’re amplifying what was a nothingburger reference’ MORE (R-Fla.) said on CNN. “There’s apparently an investigation going on and that will go where it goes.”

    Gaetz added that it would be “helpful” if the former mayor clarified the role he’s playing in Ukraine.

    “But the Rudy Giuliani I know is the Rudy Giuliani who, like, fought the mob when it wasn’t a popular thing to do,” Gaetz said. “He’s someone who put his life on the line in 9/11, so if there’s anyone that ought to maybe get the benefit of the doubt, it would probably be Mayor Giuliani.”

    Politics

    The U.S. and China moved closer to a trade deal during talks this week, but negotiators still need to hammer out some sticking points as they push for a final summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    A Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier Liu He met with U.S. officials Wednesday and Thursday as the two sides try to strike an agreement and end a potentially devastating trade conflict. While the Trump administration has shown optimism about inking a trade overhaul long sought by the president, negotiators still have some differences.

    Ahead of a Thursday meeting with Liu, Trump told reporters that “intellectual property and theft” and “certain tariffs” — two of the key topics in the talks — are some of the remaining sticking points.

    “If we have a deal, there will be a summit. I’d say we’ll know over the next four weeks,” the president said.

    The two sides were going line by line through deal text Thursday, with a break for a meeting between Trump and Liu, an administration official told CNBC. They will continue to work through the deal on Friday.

    The world’s two largest economies still disagree over whether the U.S. will use tariffs as an enforcement tool, the official acknowledged. Trump has previously said his administration’s tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods could stay in place even after the sides strike a deal. China has pushed for the removal of duties as part of an agreement.

    The U.S. and China had not set a date or place for a summit between Trump and Xi as of Thursday.

    The talks come as investors and businesses watch closely for developments that could ease tensions between the U.S. and its largest trading partner. The escalating series of tariffs imposed by both China and the U.S. has rattled financial markets and led to concerns about issues rippling throughout both economies.

    Trump, who won the White House partly on his pledges to crack down on what he called Chinese trade abuses, seeks a victory that he can promote during his 2020 reelection bid.

    “If it’s not a great deal, we’re not doing it,” he told reporters at the White House earlier Thursday. “But it’s going very well.”

    The two sides are eyeing a series of agreements on different subjects tied together by one enforcement tool, the administration official said. The U.S. and China have not decided how much of the agreement to finish now and how much to leave for the potential meeting between Trump and Xi.

    The U.S. would give China until 2025 to follow through on commitments to purchase more goods from the U.S., the person added. But different products would be subject to separate timelines. Trump has long decried the trade deficit between the U.S. and China and pushed for Beijing to buy more American goods.

    Negotiators have not set a time frame for addressing structural issues, such as stopping intellectual property theft or forced technology transfers.

      Byron York: In border fight, Democrats want ‘technological wall’ that won’t keep anybody out – Washington Examiner
      Byron York: In border fight, Democrats want ‘technological wall’ that won’t keep anybody out – Washington Examiner

      House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California says a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border would be “immoral.” Instead, she favors something she calls a “technological wall.” Another top House Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, calls it a “smart wall.”

      Instead of building an actual physical barrier of steel, concrete, or some other material, Pelosi, Clyburn, and other Democrats advocate employing an array of high-tech devices — drones, infrared sensors, surveillance cameras, and more — to keep track of activity at the border without physical impediments to discourage illegal crossings.

      “We cannot protect the border with concrete,” Clyburn said recently. “We can protect the border using the technology that is available to us to wall off intrusions.”

      The problem is, a smart wall would not actually wall off intrusions. Indeed, the main feature of a smart wall — in past debates, it was often referred to as a virtual fence — is that it will not stop anyone from crossing the border into the United States. It can detect illegal crossers and alert authorities to their presence. But it does nothing to keep them from entering the country.

      That is especially important given the nature of the migrants crossing the border illegally today. In the past, many were single adult men who could be caught and quickly returned to Mexico. But now, according to the Department of Homeland Security, about two-thirds of the crossers are families and unaccompanied children who, by U.S. law, cannot be quickly returned. Once in the United States, their asylum claims — the vast majority are ultimately judged without merit — take a long time to process. During that time, many simply disappear into the country.

      The point, for those illegal immigrants, is not to enter the United States without being detected. It is to enter, be caught, and begin the asylum process that will allow them to stay, one way or the other.

      A smart wall is no obstacle to such crossers. On the other hand, a physical barrier would be a big obstacle and, if placed in key areas of the border, would likely reduce illegal crossings significantly. That is precisely the kind of barrier that Pelosi, Clyburn, and other Democrats oppose.

      “The virtual fence does not actually block the entry of anyone like a real wall or fence does,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors tighter controls on immigration. “The virtual fence only works if there are enough Border Patrol agents around to arrest the illegal crossers who are detected.”

      “Most importantly, this technology would not help in the case of caravan migrants pushing through the obsolete and aging barriers we have in many places,” Vaughan added. “And it does not help at all if the people who cross are detected only to be released after they state a fear of return, or because they brought a minor with them, or if they are unaccompanied minors led across by smugglers.”

      Given the nature of the illegal flow across the border, a virtual wall would be even less effective than it might have been in the past.

      Still, Democrats insist it is what is needed. Rep. Scott Peters, who delivered the recent Democratic weekly address, discussed his home city of San Diego and called for “sensors and radar … cameras mounted on drones … [and] state-of-the-art technologies to detect tunnels.”

      “That is what real border security looks like, and I can tell you that San Diegans want that border security,” Peters said. “But we do not want a wall.”

      Under Peters’ plan, the Department of Homeland Security would have to rely on technology at the border; if it wanted to build a physical barrier, it would have to get special congressional permission.

      Peters briefly acknowledged that San Diego has a border fence. What he did not tell listeners was that building that physical barrier saved the city from a crisis in the 1980s by dramatically reducing the flow of illegal immigrants. This is from a 2017 account in the San Diego Union-Tribune:

      While barbed wire had been strung between parts of Tijuana from San Ysidro in the 1950s, that barrier was easily foiled. In the 1980s, migrants overran the border and the Border Patrol, some dashing across Interstate 5. Thousands gathered nightly on a small slice of the border that Americans called “the soccer field” and Mexicans referred to as “La Canela.” There, men, women and children waited for nightfall before making their passage into El Norte.

      The breaking point came in 1986, when Border Patrol agents in the San Diego apprehended 629,656 people, slightly more than the population of Las Vegas.

      When agents attempted to stem the tide in San Ysidro, new routes were blazed in the rugged terrain to the east. “We would have caravans of cars,” said Donna Tisdale, who lives on a ranch in the East County hamlet of Boulevard. “They came at all hours of the day and night.”

      In 1989, construction began on a new layer of fencing in San Diego County. A line of surplus helicopter landing pads, turned on their side and welded together, marched 46 miles east, rising to heights of 6 feet to 10 feet. A secondary layer, 13 miles long and 15 feet to 18 feet high, came in 1996. Later, a third layer was added in heavily trafficked spots, including where the border meets the Pacific Ocean at San Diego’s Friendship Park.

      Large numbers of unauthorized immigrants continued to flow into the U.S., but they moved away from the coast, trying to slip around the fences.

      San Diego faced an intolerable situation in the 1980s. The border fence was a key part of the solution. Now, a congressman from San Diego is dead set against building a physical barrier to stop illegal crossings in other parts of the country the way it did in San Diego.

      Peters reflects his party’s leadership and their determination to stop the construction of any more barriers on the border. But Democrats from Pelosi down still want to appear strong on border security. Now, they are advocating sensors and drones and cameras that would watch an unfenced border — while doing nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants.

      Colombia está de luto: avalancha deja muerte y destrucción en Mocoa – Noticias Caracol
      Colombia está de luto: avalancha deja muerte y destrucción en Mocoa – Noticias Caracol

      Cinco barrios quedaron totalmente destruidos y otros 14 están muy afectados. No se descarta que la cifra de víctimas siga en aumento. 

      Mocoa, capital del Putumayo con 345.204 habitantes, afronta a esta hora una grave emergencia por cuenta del desbordamiento de los ríos Mulato y Sancoyaco, lo que generó avalanchas en varios sectores. 

      El presidente Santos, que viajó a la zona para atender la emergencia, confirmó que hasta el momento son 112 personas muertas. 

      El 30% de la lluvia de un mes se produjo en una noche y eso facilitó la creciente súbita de varios ríos, explicó el mandatario.

      Noticias Caracol on Twitter

      El panorama es desgarrador, al punto que el número de personas fallecidas por esta tragedia supera a quienes han sucumbido ante las fuertes lluvias en Perú en lo que va de 2017.

      Videos que circulan en redes da cuenta de lo ocurrido:

      William Ramírez on Twitter

      En la ciudad no hay agua ni luz. La tragedia ocurrió en horas de la madrugada, por lo que hasta ahora, con las primeras luces del día, se ve su gran magnitud.

      Decenas de casas, así como dos puentes y muchas vías, sucumbieron ante la fuerza de las aguas. Una capa de lodo lo cubre todo 

      El Ejército Nacional envió dos pelotones para ayudar en las labores de socorro. Junto a ellos trabajan, sin descanso, policías y personal de la Cruz Roja y la Defensa Civil. Hay alerta roja en la zona. 

      Vea cómo ayudan los soldados a víctimas de la avalancha:

      Héroes en medio de la tragedia: así atienden soldados a víctimas de…

      José Antonio Castro, alcalde de Mocoa, dijo que son innumerables las víctimas e hizo un angustioso llamado a todo el país para que ayuden a la capital de Putumayo en estos difíciles momentos. Informó que cerca de 2.500 hombres de la fuerza pública y organismos de socorro atienden la emergencia. 

      “Todos los barrios aledaños a los ríos, prácticamente muchos de ellos, quedaron casi que desaparecidos. Hay un número indeterminado de desparecidos, de niñas y personas que no alcanzaron a salir, que no han sido reportados”, relató Castro en entrevista con Blu Radio. ((Escúchelo aquí))

      Le puede interesar: 

      Imágenes de tragedia en Mocoa: usuarios de redes sociales reportan…

      Ante la magnitud de lo ocurrido, el presidente Juan Manuel Santos viajó a la zona esta misma mañana.

      Carlos Iván Márquez, director de Gestión del Riesgo, en diálogo con Blu Radio, informó que “hay de 60 a 65 heridos que están siendo atendidos en el hospital de Mocoa. El barrio San Miguel sufrió graves daños por el río Mocoa y dos o tres quebradas que han producido estos daños”.

      El corresponsal de Noticias Caracol en la capital del Putumayo, Jairo Figueroa, no dudo en calificar esta como la peor tragedia que haya vivido Mocoa en su historia. Hay colapso de hospitales y dos puentes caídos. ((Escuche aquí su reporte))

      El hospital local, practicamente colapsado, ha pedido frazadas y agua potable para los heridos. La cifra de damnificados es, por ahora, indeterminable.

      Ralph Northam and Democrats reveal their disgusting distaste for any fetus with ‘abnormalities’ – Washington Examiner
      Ralph Northam and Democrats reveal their disgusting distaste for any fetus with ‘abnormalities’ – Washington Examiner

      Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday described third-trimester abortions as something done “in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that’s not viable.” Later that day, Northam’s Communications Director Ofirah Yheskel tried to clarify that Northam was referring to the fact that women seek third-trimester abortions only “except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities.”

      Northam’s clarification isn’t much of an improvement, it’s more of a double-down: Rather than just choosing to end the life of any baby, he would advocate or support women who play God and only choose to give birth to healthy babies. This is wrong. Yet he’s not alone in proposing to eradicate from society those who seem like they would pose problems for parents and society alike. The humane, moral thing to do is encourage parents and society to value life in all its forms and try to help parents raising children with special needs.

      Northam’s comments do not represent a new concept. From ancient Sparta to the Holocaust, people with abnormalities, deformities, and diseases have been targeted and eradicated. When men give their moral compass over to the need to become like God (truly the oldest, darkest lie of all time) they lose their sense of justice, humanity, equality, and humility. In mankind’s quest to control the human population through power or or greed, dispelling of people who are deformed or “less than,” he pulls society downward through a maze of moral quagmires, bringing destruction — and with it, the spirit of humanity.

      For people born with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or any other myriad of diseases and problems, simple tasks life presents do pose tremendous challenges, to say nothing of the things that overwhelm other members of society. However, people with special needs also bring a unique kind of joy, peace, and light to many people. Watch this quick clip to get a glimpse of what I mean.

      Occasionally, some people shine a light on these incredible people. When Gerber chose a Down syndrome boy in Feb. 2018 to be its “Gerber baby” poster boy that year, how could you not help but cheer? Who among us really would look at his smiling face and say abortion would have been better?

      Still, the convenience of abortion perpetuates the myth that society is better off without people who might struggle — whether from autism, Down syndrome, or something else. New York offers, and perhaps Virginia will offer, abortion on demand: dangling the carrot of last-minute infanticide in front of parents who would undoubtedly be aware of the struggles raising a baby with special needs will present and choose to balk.

      While political officials might tout abortion as some kind of “final solution,” many parents are tempted to choose, or do choose, abortion because they truly do fear the challenge of raising a child with needs. They worry they will be unable to withstand the emotional, physical, financial, and marital pressures. In this video on Upworthy, Christine Grounds and Jonathan Mir describe how difficult it has been to raise their son Nicholas, who was born with microcephaly. “We had no idea that, in utero, there was anything wrong with Nicholas,” Grounds recalled. “I’m pretty sure no one would have been able to say conclusively that he has microcephaly,” she said. “But I would have terminated the pregnancy.”

      While it’s tempting to lash out or point fingers at parents like this, that too is a reactive solution full of the kind of righteous indignation the Left hates. We must rise up to help these parents. We must connect them with nonprofit organizations, religious organizations, pregnancy resource centers, healthcare providers, and any physical or emotional support we can offer. ( Here’s one such list to start with.) Conservatives cannot continually advocate for a culture of life without also tangibly stepping alongside those same parents who choose life, and who then must endeavor to raise a child under difficult circumstances. We must continue to call out people like Northam for advocating such a selfish, heinous “solution” to children with special needs and help parents who choose life instead.

      Austria orders lockdown for residents who have not received COVID-19 vaccine – CBS News
      Austria orders lockdown for residents who have not received COVID-19 vaccine – CBS News

      The Austrian government has ordered a nationwide lockdown for unvaccinated people starting at midnight Monday to combat rising coronavirus infections and deaths.

      The move prohibits unvaccinated people 12 and older from leaving their homes except for basic activities such as working, grocery shopping, going for a walk — or getting vaccinated.

      Authorities are concerned about rising infections and deaths and that soon hospital staff will no longer be able to handle the growing influx of COVID-19 patients.

      “It’s our job as the government of Austria to protect the people,” Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg told reporters in Vienna on Sunday. “Therefore we decided that starting Monday … there will be a lockdown for the unvaccinated.”

      A demonstrator holds a placard reading ‘No to compulsory vaccination’ during an anti-vaccination protest at the Ballhausplatz in Vienna, Austria, on November 14, 2021, after a Corona crisis’ summit of the Austrian government.

      The lockdown affects about 2 million people in the Alpine country of 8.9 million, the APA news agency reported. It doesn’t apply to children under 12 because they cannot yet officially get vaccinated.

      The lockdown will initially last for 10 days and police will go on patrol to check people outside to make sure they are vaccinated, Schallenberg said, adding that additional forces will be assigned to the patrols.

      Unvaccinated people can be fined up to 1,450 euros ($1,660) if they violate the lockdown.

      Austria has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe: only around 65% of the total population is fully vaccinated. In recent weeks, Austria has faced a worrying rise in infections. Authorities reported 11,552 new cases on Sunday; a week ago there were 8,554 new daily infections.

      Deaths have also been increasing in recent weeks. On Sunday, 17 new deaths were reported. Overall, Austria’s pandemic death toll stands at 11,706, APA reported.

      The seven-day infection rate stands at 775.5 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In comparison, the rate is at 289 in neighboring Germany, which has already also sounded the alarm over the rising numbers.

      Schallenberg pointed out that while the seven-day infection rate for vaccinated people has been falling in recent days, the rate is rising quickly for the unvaccinated.

      “The rate for the unvaccinated is at over 1,700, while for the vaccinated it is at 383,” the chancellor said.

      Schallenberg also called on people who have been vaccinated to get their booster shot, saying that otherwise “we will never get out of this vicious circle.”

      Las 5 noticias del día: 23 de junio – El Economista

      Cerramos la semana con lo más importante en el plano nacional, de finanzas personales y de nuestros vecinos, Estados Unidos.
      ¿La vida después de la muerte? Sí y en cuanto a reclamo de Afores de un familiar fallecido, nuestra nota de finanzas personales te da una guía para que ese dinero generado vaya en beneficio de los familiares. Banxico subió de nuevo la tasa de interés referencial, ¿por qué es bueno y a la vez malo? te explicamos en la nota. Trump ya no es “anti-méxico”. Enrique Campos explica sobre los recientes comentarios del mandatario estadounidense que parecen tener un discurso menos violento hacia el muro, la migración y México. Estamos por terminar el mes y eso es un buen pretexto para que veas los 11 estrenos que Netflix tiene para ti, te aseguramos que no te arrepentirás de las recomendaciones de este verano. ¡A disfrutar el fin de semana!

      1. ¿Cómo recuperar de la afore los recursos de un familiar fallecido?

      Quizá los pasos más difíciles post fallecimiento de un familiar son todo proceso que tenga que ver con temas fiscales o laborales y entre estos está el reclamo de afore. Sí, así es, el dinero que generó tu ser querido puede ser adquirido por los familiares que este haya elegido como beneficiario como un seguro de vida, pero para este tipo de procesos es bueno saber ciertas reglas, ya que en caso de no estar designados los beneficiarios, la Junta de Conciliación y Arbitraje tiene ciertos criterios que a continuación podrás ver en la nota más leída del día. No pienses que el trámite será una odisea, en realidad con tener un orden en el papeleo que requieres para reclamar esto es posible obtener el dinero. Te decimos cuáles son los requisitos.

      2. Banxico sube tasa a 7%, con incremento de 25 puntos base

      Amanecimos con la noticia de que el Banco de México decidió subir de nuevo la tasa de interés referencial, llegando a un nivel de 7%. Es bueno destacar que esta alza es la séptima que decide hacer la Junta de Gobierno del Banxico. ¿Los motivos? Dar alivio a la presión cambiaria, así como dar un frente a la inflación que se pronostica el sector privado terminará el mes de junio en 5.90%. En términos de créditos, el panorama por el alza de tasas no pinta nada bien, ya que serán los créditos nominales e intereses de tarjetas de créditos donde los precios aumentarán, por lo que se recomienda a la población tener cuidado con estos productos financieros, así como ser “totaleros” a la hora de pagar lo comprado por el plástico.
      Si quieres conocer a fondo el tema de las tasas interbancarias, te invitamos a ver la video columna de Luis Miguel González, Director Editorial de El Economista.

      3. Los 11 estrenos de Netflix en julio que no te puedes perder

      Llegó el verano, la temporada más cálida del año y Netflix sabe que es un muy buen pretexto para quedarse en casa a ver los 11 estrenos que la plataforma más grande de streaming en el mundo tiene que ofrecernos. Esta vez no tiene nada que quedarnos a deber, desde continuaciones de temporada de algunas producciones de “casa” como Bates Motel, hasta algunos hits hollywoodenses como Maléfica.

      4. ¿Donald Trump se está suavizando con México?

      Enrique Campos Suárez aborda este viernes las recientes acciones de Trump y especialmente sobre Donald Trump, el que pareció el gran enemigo para muchos mexicanos por expresar su desprecio al país, pero…¿ha cambiado? Tal parece que la verborrea de Trump no parece tener un fin, pero lo que sí se ha notado en estos tiempos es que el discurso anti-México sí ha disminuido, algunos otros conflictos internacionales como con Corea del Norte o Rusia parecen quitar importancia al polémico muro, que ahora se pagará con energía solar, ya que Trump asegura que agregará paneles solares. ¿Dónde quedó el “México will pay for the wall”?, es importante destacar que las declaraciones sobre los inmigrantes también ha sido diferente. Campos asegura que a Trump aunque le cueste saber que las buenas relaciones cuestan, deben sobrellevarse por el bien de los vecinos, o sea México y Estados Unidos.

      Pelosi: ‘No red lines’ for bill to help struggling state and local governments – NBCNews.com
      Pelosi: ‘No red lines’ for bill to help struggling state and local governments – NBCNews.com

      House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday she has “no red lines” when it comes to passing hundreds of billions in emergency aid to state and local governments.

      Her comments came after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said last week he wouldn’t support a new coronavirus relief bill without a provision removing liability from companies that bring workers back amid the coronavirus outbreak.

      “My red line going forward on this bill is we need to provide protection, litigation protection, for those who have been on the front lines,” he told Fox News on Tuesday.

      Speaking with CBS’ “Face the Nation” after the House passed Pelosi’s HEROES Act late last week, Pelosi was asked about McConnell’s stance.

      “Well we have no red lines, but the fact is the best protection for our workers and our employers is to follow very good OSHA mandatory guidelines and we have that in our bill,” Pelosi said. “And that protects workers, protects their lives, as well as protects the employer if they follow the guidelines. Remember, when people go to work, they go home, they could bring it home to their children or they could bring it to a senior living in their home. This is beyond just the individual at work.”

      The HEROES Act contains a provision requiring the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue standards requiring workplaces to design and implement infection control plans in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, in addition to preventing workplaces from retaliating against workers who report workplace outbreak issues.

      Among other provisions, the HEROES Act would provide nearly $1 trillion in emergency relief to struggling state and local governments that have seen revenue sources dry up amid the coronavirus pandemic. An NBC News survey of 33 states and Washington, D.C. found that the outbreak will cost states hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue in the upcoming fiscal year.

      Congressional Republicans and the White House have said the bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. Pelosi said Sunday that “no bill” becomes law “without negotiations.” She said the prior four bills on coronavirus aid have all been passed in a bipartisan manner.

      “The bill that Leader McConnell put forth, CARES 1, was his offer,” Pelosi said. “Nobody said it doesn’t have a chance because he just put it forth, the interim PPP bill was his offer.”

      She said she has confidence significant aid will be passed for state and local governments because lawmakers know teachers, sanitation workers, health care workers, police and firefighters are all at risk of losing their jobs otherwise.

      Pelosi’s comments echoed budget officials across the country who spoke with NBC News expressing hope that Congress will pass additional funding so they can avoid massive cuts. During the last economic downturn in 2009, the slow recovery for state and local governments put a drag on how quick the overall economy was able to emerge from the Great Recession.

      Republicans, meanwhile, are split over the path forward for state relief — both on whether more money should be provided and if existing appropriated funds for states can be made more flexible. States received $150 billion in emergency funding in earlier COVID-19 legislation, but the Treasury Department has said that money can only be used to cover costs directly associated with the pandemic, not on filling budget gaps.

      California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that “none” of the budget issues his state is facing is a result of any preexisting financial conditions. His state is facing a budget hole of more than $54 billion.

      “We’re not looking for charity, we’re not looking for handouts,” Newsom said, adding that states “are facing unprecedented budgetary stress. It is incumbent upon the federal government to help support these states through this difficult time.”

      Newsom added the funding is “not a red issue or a blue issue.”

      “This is impacting every state in America,” he said.

      Elsewhere, on “Face the Nation,” Gary Cohn, formerly Trump’s top economic adviser, said he thinks aid for state and local governments is “very important” and that states having to lay off such workers “would be the complete wrong outcome here.”

      “So the federal government does have to step in and help out states just like they’ve helped small businesses and big businesses,” Cohn said. “They should help the states.”

      But Cohn said that “doesn’t mean they should return the states to perfect financial condition.”

      Qué fue de la vida de los ex 678 – Perfil.com
      Qué fue de la vida de los ex 678 – Perfil.com

      Fueron la punta de lanza de un aparato comunicacional que se presentaba como “defensa” del gobierno y funcionaba como bastonazo contra cualquier voz crítica. Producido por Pensado Para Televisión, la productora de Diego Gvirtz, El primer 678 vio la luz en marzo de 2009 con el nombre 6 en el 7 a las 8, bajo el concepto de seis integrantes en el canal 7 a las 20 horas.

      De la primera versión del programa hasta la que se hizo más conocida, fueron varios los nombres que pasaron por la emisión icónica de la política comunicacional del kirchnerismo y su cruzada cultural contra lo que definían como la hegemonía de los medios monopólicos, a quienes dedicaron el 100% de sus esfuerzos en combinación con el ataque a la oposición política al kirchnerismo, viendo la realidad como un todo cuestionable.

      La inmensa mayoría de los miembros más radicalizados, los que iniciaron la segunda temporada del ciclo en 2010, vivieron los años dorados de sus carreras y de exposición gracias a 678. Programas en Radio Nacional, premios universitarios y reconocimientos varios dentro del universo kirchnerista. Pero todo tiene un final, todo termina, y desde diciembre de 2015 han perdido la pantalla de la televisión pública y sus programas en Radio Nacional con una excepción. Desde entonces, todos mantuvieron algún sustento, entre los que volvieron a sus ocupaciones anteriores, hasta los que siguieron sus  propios rumbos. Todos menos uno, que al día de hoy no consigue trabajo.

      María Julia Oliván. La periodista fue la primera en conducir 678 y la primera en abandonar el ciclo apenas unos meses después, con un gobierno cada vez más radicalizado tras la derrota electoral de octubre de 2009. Con más de veinte años en el mundo periodístico (del universo Lanata a la notoriedad en Caos y en La Liga), Oliván se mantuvo activa primero en 360TV, y desde 2013 forma parte de Intratables por América TV, En el medio, formó parte de la renovación de Radio Nacional y lanzó su propio portal de periodismo, Border.

      Carla Czudnowsky. Otra ex Caos en la Ciudad y La Liga formó parte del primer 678, del que se fue tras una licencia por maternidad menos de un año después. Continuó trabajando para PPT en Duro de Domar por Canal 9. Actualmente, reparte su tiempo entre Ponele la Firma, el programa conducido por Marcelo Polino en América TV, y el running.

      Cabito. Eduardo Javier Massa Alcántara, más conocido como “Cabito”, formó parte del 678 original. Sus antecedentes periodísticos eran nulos. Antes, durante y después de 678 se desempeñó como parte estable de Basta de Todo, el programa de Metro 95.1 que integra junto a Matías Martin y a Gabriel Schultz. Este último también formó parte de las producciones de PPT como co-conductor de Televisión Registrada. Luego de dejar 678 a comienzos de 2013, Cabito continuó su rumbo televisivo en Duro de Domar por dos años. Desde entonces, ha realizado teatro y al día de hoy continúa en Basta de Todo.

      Luciano Galende. Luego de trabajar como productor de radio de Jorge Lanata, columnista de Jorge Guinzburg en Canal 13 y trabajó en la Rock and Pop con Elizabeth Vernaci. Comenzó en 678 como panelista para luego saltar al lugar de conductor tras la partida de María Julia Oliván. Largó la conducción de 678 y se refugió en Radio Nacional, donde condujo su propio ciclo hasta el final de la gestión kirchnerista en diciembre de 2015. Desde entonces, ha dado charlas sobre “Periodismo en tiempos de neoliberalismo”.

      Carlos Barragán. Una de las figuras más recordadas del ciclo, formó parte de 678 de principio a fin. Surgido de la radio, donde estuvo años al lado de Lalo Mir y de Elizabeth Vernaci, llegó a conducir 678 tras la salida de Luciano Galende. En 2012 sumó a sus actividades un programa llamado Todos en Cuero, por Radio Nacional, el cual finalizó en diciembre de 2015. En noviembre de 2016 regresó con su ciclo rebautizado Todos en Cuero en Panamá, por Radio del Plata. De alto perfil en redes sociales, sus publicaciones en Facebook continúan su retórica antimacrista y lo han mantenido presente en el boca en boca kirchnerista con publicaciones como “Los 20 mandamientos” para resistir a la gestión de Mauricio Macri. Explota su veta humorística realizando shows “a la gorra”. También demandó al Estado por el final de su contrato en Radio Nacional.

      Mariana Moyano. Con una larga trayectoria universitaria previa al kirchnerismo, Moyano cobró notoriedad al haber redactado el informe que disparó el debate por la ley de medios, una de las grandes batallas librada por el kirchnerismo. Se sumó a 678 en 2012, destacándose por sus críticas a los medios de comunicación. Actualmente, continúa con el ejercicio de la docencia en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y despunta el vicio del periodismo en su blog y en las redes sociales, no sin alguna que otra polémica, como cuando defendió a Christian Aldana, el cantante de El Otro Yo, denunciado por abuso sexual contra menores de edad, a quien comparó con San Martín por su relación con Remedios de Escalada (quien era menor de edad cuando se casó con el Libertador).

      Edgardo Mocca. Licienciado en Ciencias Políticas, Mocca contaba con antecedentes en la gráfica como columnista habitué de Clarín entre 2003 y 2007. Se sumó 678 en 2012 y permaneció como panelista hasta el final del ciclo. Actualmente, continúa con su actividad académica además de escribir columnas para Página/12 y medios gráficos del exterior.

      Jorge Dorio. Con una extensa carrera que se inició en 1984 junto a Martín Caparrós en Sueño de una Noche de Belgrano, y que continuó con Alejandro Dolina en La Venganza será Terrible, Dorio ha tenido diversas versiones que lo incluyen en la TV tanto con Juan Alberto Badía como panelista de análisis de Gran Hermano. Se sumó a 678 en 2013 como panelista y ha conducido el ciclo en numerosas ocasiones. Sobrevivió a la grieta y tiene un programa –El Eslabón Perdido– en las madrugadas de los lunes de Radio Nacional.

      Sandra Russo. Dueña de una extensa carrera que la tuvo en varios íconos del siglo XX como la revista Humor Registrado, el programa Cable a Tierra de Pepe Eliaschev, o Página/12 desde su fundación en 1987, Russo estuvo en 678 de principio a fin con una breve interrupción en 2010. En la actualidad, continúa con su columna habitual en Página/12, además de publicar su nuevo libro “Lo femenino” y de brindar cursos de narrativa breve de manera particular.

      Nora Veiras. Con una carrera previa vinculada a Página/12,  durante la década kirchnerista, y al igual que casi todos sus compañeros, Veiras tuvo su programa en Radio Nacional. Formó parte de 678 desde 2010. Hoy conserva su espacio en Página/12.

      Dante Palma. Filósofo con un doctorado en Ciencias Políticas, Palma daba clases regularmente en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y en la de San Martín cuando comenzó a publicar sus columnas en Revista 23 en 2010. Desde 2012 se sumó a 678 hasta el final del ciclo. Durante 2016 fue denunciado por violencia de género por su exnovia y no pudo retomar sus clases en la universidad tras una movilización del centro de estudiantes. Al igual que varios de sus excolegas, hoy tiene su programa en Radio del Plata (No estoy solo), publicó un nuevo libro (El gobierno de los cínicos) y escribe regularmente en su blog.

      Orlando Barone. Ícono de 678 a fuerza de sus poemas escatológicos y sus peleas con figuras del mundo intelectual, Barone contaba con una extensa trayectoria en medios gráficos Clarín, El Cronista, Ámbito Financiero y Noticias. Luego de renunciar a su columna en La Nación, Barone se sumó a 678 desde su inicio y permaneció firme hasta el final del ciclo. Quizás el más golpeado por el fin del ciclo, Barone demandó al Estado por la ruptura de su contrato en Radio Nacional, y también cargó contra RTA (Radio y Televisión Argentina) porque no consigue trabajo a sus casi 80 años.

      Cynthia García. Con una trayectoria previa en diario Perfil, Crítica y Canal 13, García se sumó a 678 a principios de 2012 y se quedó hasta que terminó el programa en 2015. En la actualidad encabeza su propio portal de noticias (La García), además de formar parte del programa de Víctor Hugo Morales en la mañana de AM 750.

      Damage to homes burned by wildfires after they ripped through a development are shown Friday in Superior, Colo.

      Urban wildfires north of Denver that spread in what Gov. Jared Polis called “the blink of an eye” and destroyed at least 500 homes are largely contained.

      That’s according to local and state officials who spoke at a Friday morning briefing.

      There are no reports of fatalities from the wind-whipped blazes that burned an estimated 6,000 acres in Boulder County.

      “There are still areas burning inside the fire zone, around homes and shrubbery,” said Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, “but we’re not expecting to see any growth in the fire.”

      Pelle said the snowfall that’s begun in the area “will certainly help our efforts.”

      Polis flew over the affected areas Friday morning and described what he called fires that “hit close to home for so many of us.”

      “This wasn’t a wildfire in the forest,” he said. “It was a suburban and urban fire that was a disaster in fast motion [happening] in course of half a day.”

      Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse also toured the devastated area on Friday.

      “There are entire subdivisions, entire neighborhoods that have tragically been wiped out,” he told NPR’s All Things Considered.

      Many residents “lost everything, all their belongings, their home and had [no] more than a moment’s notice essentially to flee their homes, some with only the clothes on their back because of the way that these flames metastasized because of hurricane winds that our community was experiencing yesterday,” Neguse told NPR. “So just unprecedented devastation, and it’s going to be a long road to recovery for our community.”

      Drought, high winds fed the fires

      The speed and intensity of the blazes was caused by a mix of dry conditions due to months of drought and winds gusting to over 100 mph.

      “Many families [had] minutes to get whatever they could, their pets, their kids into the car and leave,” Polis said. “The last 24 hours have been devastating, [but] we might have our very own New Year’s miracle on our hands if it holds up that there was no loss of life.”

      Pelle said “it’s all a good guess right now” as to how many homes were destroyed.

      “I would estimate it’s going to be at least 500 homes,” he said. “I would not be surprised if it’s a thousand.”

      Tens of thousands of people were evacuated. Polis said temporary emergency shelters are housing “about 200 people,” while many others sought refuge with friends or in other areas.

      Pelle said he knows that residents want to return to their homes “as soon as possible to assess damage.” But, he said, in many of those neighborhoods that are currently blocked off, it’s still too dangerous to return.

      “We saw still active fire in many places this morning, we saw downed powerlines. We saw a lot of risk that we’re still trying to mitigate,” he said.

      As far as how the fires started, Pelle said, “we do know we had power lines down in the area of the origin of the fire. The origin of the fire hasn’t been confirmed. It’s suspected to be power lines, but we are investigating that today.”

      “We’re investigating anything we find out there,” he said.
