CDC Panel Unanimously Votes to Add COVID Vaccine to List of Recommended Child Vaccinations
|
ABC: COVID-19 shots should be added to the lists of recommended vaccinations for kids and adults, a panel of U.S. vaccine experts said Thursday. The panel’s unanimous decision has no immediate effect — COVID-19 shots already are recommended for virtually all Americans. Rather, it would put the shots on the annually updated, formal lists of what vaccinations doctors should be routinely offering to their patients, alongside shots for polio, measles and hepatitis. The expert panel’s decisions are almost always adopted by the CDC director and then sent to doctors as part of the government’s advice on how to prevent disease ( ABC). Ron DeSantis: As long as I am Governor, in Florida there will not be a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for children in our schools ( Twitter). Axios: More than 20 states have already prohibited COVID vaccine from being required for students. California won’t mandate shots this school year. The earliest COVID-19 vaccines would be required for school attendance is July 1, 2023 ( Axios).

U.K. Prime Minister, Liz Truss, Resigns Marking the Shortest Run in British History
|
Wall Street Journal: U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned, putting her on course to become the shortest-serving prime minister in British history. She quit early afternoon on Thursday, midway through her 45th day in the role, after initially being appointed on Sept. 6. U.K. assets rose modestly after the resignation announcement, with the FTSE up 0.3% and gilt yields slightly lower. But her short stint in office has been marked by turmoil in U.K. markets, sparked by her plans for the biggest tax cuts since the 1970s. Ms. Truss in recent days reversed many of those plans, while interventions from the Bank of England helped to stabilize bond markets ( Wall Street Journal). BBC: “I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.” UK Prime Minister Liz Truss resigns ( Twitter). Truss will remain in her position until a successor is chosen.

Housing Market Sees Home Sales Decline for Eighth Straight Month
|
Wall Street Journal: U.S. existing home sales fell for an eighth straight month in September as rising mortgage rates made home purchases less affordable. Sales of previously owned homes declined 1.5% in September from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.71 million, the weakest rate since May 2020. September sales fell 23.8% from a year earlier. Existing-home sales have dropped 27% from their recent peak in January as the Federal Reserve’s actions to increase interest rates have pushed many prospective home buyers out of the market ( Wall Street Journal).

86 Percent of Americans Believe China’s Military is a Problem
|
Wall Street Journal: China’s military is emerging as a true competitor to the U.S. under Xi Jinping. The People’s Liberation Army now has hypersonic missiles that evade most defenses, a technology the U.S. is still developing. Its attack drones can swarm to paralyze communications networks. China’s naval ships outnumber America’s, and it launched its third aircraft carrier this summer, the first to be designed and built in the country. Its defense budget is second only to the U.S.’s. China’s military has more serving members, at around 2 million, compared with just under 1.4 million in the U.S. The question for Mr. Xi, which he has raised in public, is whether those forces are ready for battle ( Wall Street Journal). Epoch Times: Some 86 percent of Americans said that they consider China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), to be a problem ( Epoch Times).

Iran Hit with More Sanctions by Britain and European Union for Selling Drones to Russia
|
New York Times: Britain and the European Union imposed a fresh round of sanctions aimed at Iran on Thursday, this time over providing drones that Russia has used to strike battlefields and civilian targets in Ukraine. The sanctions will target the company that manufactures Shahed-136 drones, diplomats said, as well as three Iranian generals. The British foreign secretary, James Cleverly, announced the decision on Thursday evening, calling recent drone strikes that have targeted energy supplies “an act of desperation” ( New York Times). Reuters: Tehran denies supplying the drones to Moscow and the Kremlin on Tuesday denied its forces had used Iranian drones to attack Ukraine. Washington says Iran’s denial is a lie ( Reuters).

California Republicans Look to Lanhee Chen to Revive Party
|
Wall Street Journal: California’s GOP looks moribund. Republicans haven’t won a statewide office since 2006, when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected. Democrats hold supermajorities in the state Legislature and 42 of 53 U.S. House seats. After beating back a recall challenge last fall, Gov. Gavin Newsom is cruising to re-election. Yet Republicans are showing signs of revival, with four Democratic House seats unexpectedly competitive. The state controller’s race will test whether a GOP candidate with a compelling message and background can win statewide ( Wall Street Journal). Capital Weekly: He has gained the support of Democrat Gloria Romero, who was a state senator and served as Democratic majority leader of the state senate from 2005-2008. Chen, endorsed by the L.A. Times and Sacramento Bee, is needed to put a monkey wrench in a system that is wasting taxpayer dollars, Romero said. She said he can “make it stop churning so we the people can have a better sense of what’s going on” ( Capitol Weekly).

State Department Funds Drag Shows in Ecuador
|
Let’s fund drag shows internationally while our citizens face massive inflation. Fox News: The U.S. Department of State has awarded more than $20,000 for a cultural center in Ecuador to host “drag theater performances” in the name of diversity and inclusion. The State Department awarded a $20,600 grant on Sept. 23 to the Centro Ecuatoriano Norteamericano (CEN), a non-profit organization supported by the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador, to “promote diversity and inclusion” in the region ( Fox News). National Review: The initiative is part of the State Department’s broader public-diplomacy program, which is designed to “support the achievement of US foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world” ( National Review).

Twitter Plans for Massive Layoffs
|
Washington Post: Twitter’s workforce is likely to be hit with massive cuts in the coming months, no matter who owns the company, interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Post show, a change likely to have major impact on its ability to control harmful content and prevent data security crises. Elon Musk told prospective investors in his deal to buy the company that he planned to get rid of nearly 75 percent of Twitter’s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000. Even if Musk’s Twitter deal falls through, big cuts are expected: Twitter’s current management planned to pare the company’s payroll by about $800 million by the end of next year, a number that would mean the departure of nearly a quarter of the workforce ( Washington Post). Daily Wire: The report said that the planned cuts by Twitter’s executives helped to explain why the company wanted to sell to Musk once he made the offer ( Daily Wire).

Early Voting in Georgia Breaks Records for Second Election Cycle in a Row
|
ABC: With less than three weeks until the midterm elections, Georgians are already casting their ballots at a fast pace — with vote counts on Tuesday surpassing 2020 presidential election records for the second day of early voting, surging to nearly twice the early vote totals of 2018 at the same point. The outcome of Georgia’s Senate race could be critical in deciding the balance of power in Washington. As Georgia entered its third day of early in-person voting on Wednesday, over 291,700 people have voted — 268,050 in person and 23,690 absentee. In 2020, the early vote numbers after the second day were 266,403, and in 2018 they were 147,289 ( ABC). Hot Air: Remember all the teeth gnashing and political demagoguing by Democrats over the passage of election integrity reform in states like Georgia? Joe Biden told us it was Jim Crow 2.0. State legislatures in some primarily red states passed laws to strengthen election laws in their states and provide confidence in election integrity to its citizens. Despite the best efforts by Democrats to scare voters, it turns out that voters are turning out in droves for early voting in Georgia ( Hot Air).
