Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he’s hopeful Congress can strike a coronavirus stimulus bill before the end of the year. On Thursday, the Senate majority leader said a compromise on a roughly $500 billion bipartisan package is within reach. Democrats backed his proposal ,which includes  Paycheck Protection Program  loan funding, vaccine distribution funding and education funding. However, McConnell’s provision regarding COVID-19 liability protection for businesses and universities appears to be one sticking point for Democrats. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have, instead, pushed for aid to state and local governments as well as supplemental federal unemployment payments. “Now it’s been heartening to see a few hopeful signs in the past few days,” McConnell stated. “After months of arbitrary attachmen

(AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) President Trump said all Republicans, especially Georgia Republicans, are angry over officials’ handling of the election in the Peach State. While taking to Twitter Monday, the President questioned why Gov. Brian Kemp (R) will not use his emergency powers to overrule the secretary of state and do a match of signatures on envelopes. He said it would be a “goldmine” of fraud. The President also called on officials to check the number of envelopes versus ballots, suggesting they won’t match up. In response, Kemp’s office claimed state law bars him from intervening in elections, noting he’s unable to override the secretary of state by executive order. On Monday, however, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said his office has opened more than 250 cases of

Fprmer Kaduna State Senator and public analyst, Shehu Sani, has berated the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, over his projection that the Boko Haram insurgency could last for another 20 years in the country. Sani said the army chief's statement suggested someone who was bankrupt of fresh ideas and strategies and who should, therefore, tender his resignation. Shehu Sani The senator wrote on Twitter, "When the protesters needed you, you were not there; when you needed the protesters, they are not here.  "Telling our people that the insurgency will last 20 years after repeated misleading claims of victories attests to the failure of those saddled with the responsibility of leading the fight.

Minister Says UK Won Vaccine Race Because It's a 'Better Country'

A minister in Boris Johnson’s government said the U.K. won the race to approve a coronavirus vaccine because it’s a “better country,” threatening to amplify a row over Britain claiming credit for the shot. “We’ve got the very best people in this country and we’ve obviously got the best medical regulator, much better than the French have, much better than the Belgians have, much better than the Americans have,” Education Secretary Gavin Williamson told  LBC Radio  on Thursday. “That doesn’t surprise me at all because we’re a much better country than every single one of them.” The comments come after Business Secretary Alok Sharma was slapped down by Germany’s ambassador in London for claiming that the decision to approve the shot — which was developed in the U.S. and Germany — was a sign that “the U.K. led humanity’s charge against this disease.” “Why is it so difficult to recognize this important step forward as a great international effort and success,” Andreas Michaelis said on Twitt

His comments came a day after Britain became the first Western country to approve a Covid-19 vaccine for general use, prompting some skepticism among the country’s European neighbors and suggestions that the process was politicized. Widely-respected Fauci, who leads the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS News on Thursday: “In all fairness to so many of my UK friends, you know, they kind of ran around the corner of the marathon and joined it in the last mile. “I think that would be a good metaphor for it… because they really rushed through that approval.” He contr
