| Nurse Charged With Murdering 8 Babies and Trying to Kill 10 More Posted: 12 Nov 2020 07:11 AM PST  A British nurse has been charged with murdering eight babies, as well as the attempted murders of 10 others, after a years-long investigation into an unexplained spike in baby deaths at a hospital's neonatal unit.It's the third time that Lucy Letby, 30, has been arrested. She was previously detained in 2018 and 2019 as authorities probed the string of infant fatalities at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England. Both times, the nurse was released with no further action against her, but she appeared in court Thursday to finally face 18 formal charges.In the courtroom, the nurse learned that she faces eight charges of "murder of a victim under 1 year old," and each infant victim's name was read aloud to her. According to BBC News, five baby boys and three girls died. They were named Cemlyn Bennett, Joseph Johnson, Barney Gee, Joseph Gelder, Eli Gelder, Elsie McNall, Daisy Parkin, and Maddie Freed.Letby did not speak in court other than to confirm her identity, and her representatives have not said whether or not she plans to plead guilty. The media has been ordered not to report the names of the alleged victims of attempted murder, but there are reportedly five boys and five girls.The charges all relate to a string of baby deaths, and non-fatal collapses, at the Countess of Chester Hospital near Liverpool in 2015 and 2016. According to a National Health Service report into the incidents, the hospital launched a probe after resident doctors became concerned about what was described as a "higher-than-usual number of neonatal deaths on the unit, several of them being apparently 'unexplained' and 'unexpected.'"The police became involved a year later. This week, the inquiry's leader, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Hughes, said that Letby's third arrest came after more than three years of investigative work by his team.Susan Gilby, chief executive of the hospital where Letby is accused of committing the crimes, said in a statement that the major development was of "serious concern" and added that the trust that runs the hospital will be "fully supportive and respectful of the judicial processes."Neil Fern, who is representing some of the families in the legal case, told The Guardian, "The families are overwhelmed with the news and there is a mix of emotion. All the families now have hope that they can finally start to learn the truth of what happened in the first days of their children's lives. We have been working with the families for many years on these cases, and they have had to live with the consequences for all that time."Letby is expected to make another court appearance on Friday.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

But dozens of supporters of Georgia's Republican senators, approximately half of them maskless, still gathered Wednesday in a windowless room as both senators prepare for runoff races in January, CNN reports.Both of Georgia's Republican senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, failed to get a majority of the vote in their re-election races last week and will face runoffs against Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively. GOP senators are now rallying around Loeffler and Perdue, with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) joining Loeffler for Wednesday's rally to "save our majority." There was no social distancing or virus protections apparent at the rally, which happened in Cobb County, an Atlanta suburb that's among Georgia's counties with the most COVID-19 cases.> This is what the "Save Our Majority" rally looks like.

| Three More Trumpworld Figures Test Positive for COVID-19 Amid Voter Fraud Crusade Posted: 12 Nov 2020 09:38 AM PST  At least three more Trumpworld insiders have tested positive for the coronavirus just weeks after the White House and GOP were crippled by a major outbreak ensnaring the president.Corey Lewandowski, the Trump adviser who has been bringing bogus illegal voting and election fraud lawsuits, tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, The New York Times and several other outlets reported. Republican National Committee chief of staff Richard Walters has also contracted the virus, NBC reports. And a longtime GOP strategist and lobbyist, Jeff Miller, who was at the White House on Election Night, has also tested positive, sources told Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs.Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Several Others Have COVIDWalters has not been at the White House recently, but an RNC spokesperson told The Washington Post that contact tracing had begun. Any tracing efforts for Lewandowski would have to span multiple states and probably hundreds of people. He was at the White House on Election Night for a party that is now emerging as a possible superspreader event. Several others at the party have since tested positive including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Trump campaign legal aide David Bossie, White House political director Brian Jack, HUD Secretary Ben Carson, and several aides. After the party, Lewandowski flew to Pennsylvania to lead the Trump campaign's legal challenges against ballot-counting in the state. On Saturday, he appeared, mask free, alongside Rudy Giuliani and other Trump campaign figures at a bizarre event outside Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia. Days earlier, he yelled into a megaphone alongside Florida attorney Pam Bondi at a crowded press briefing outside a Philly ballot-counting site. > Here is Corey Lewandowski outside the convention center in Philadelphia last week: pic.twitter.com/hqOd2qt3zy> > — Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) November 12, 2020He has told friends he believed he contracted the virus while in Philadelphia, CBS News reports.

The document, a request for an arrest warrant for an especially powerful former minister in Pena Nieto's 2012-2018 administration, describes the former president as running "a state within a state" that employed "its own system of criminal power" centered on distributing bribes from scandal-plagued Brazilian builder Odebrecht. The arrest warrant request for Luis Videgaray describes more than 121 million pesos ($6 million) in bribe payments allegedly distributed to key members of Congress to ensure passage of a sweeping energy opening to private companies, according to the newspaper.

| Disgraced MP who flouted Covid rules 'shows brass neck' with Commons return Posted: 12 Nov 2020 07:03 AM PST  A disgraced MP who broke Covid-19 rules by making a return trip from Glasgow to London with the virus has made her first appearance in the Commons since testing positive. Margaret Ferrier, who has continued to defy calls to stand down from her £82,000-per-year job and is sitting as an independent after being stripped of the SNP whip, asked a question by video link about Hong Kong. Opposition parties said the 60-year-old's appearance was a "gross insult to her constituents" and accused her of "brazenly trying to retain her Westminster privileges at the taxpayers' expense". When she initially refused demands to stand down, including from within the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon suggested the delay may have been due to Ms Ferrier being ill with coronavirus.

| The New York Times ’ Misleading ‘Analysis’ of Benjamin Netanyahu Posted: 11 Nov 2020 03:36 PM PST  'News Analysis," a creative euphemism for "Opinion," is deployed by outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post with increasing frequency. One of the Times' recent offerings in this genre comes from Jerusalem bureau chief David Halbfinger, who writes that "Biden's Win Means a Demotion for Netanyahu and Less Focus on Israel." It's an odd formulation. Benjamin Netanyahu has been Israel's prime minister for over a decade, during presidencies of both parties. I suspect that the Times would consider treating other heads of state as inferior of the United States jingoistic in most other circumstances. But the opportunity to denigrate a conservative Israeli leader demands an exception.Halbfinger's column-in-disguise has more problems than its title. He asserts that "Mr. Netanyahu's stature on the global stage" has been "diminished." He also approvingly quotes the critical Netanyahu biographer Anshel Pfeffer, who holds that "he's gone from Trump's wingman to the guy who polishes the canopy of the F-16." He offers no evidence for these claims. Instead, as proof that Netanyahu is "unusually flummoxed" by Biden's victory, he cites the fact that it took Netanyahu twelve hours after CNN and Fox News projected that Biden would become the 46th president of the United States to offer his congratulations on Twitter and that when he did, he did not by name reference the office of the presidency. Perhaps Halbfinger's conception of being "flummoxed" differs from that of the rest of us.Halbfinger has a similarly unorthodox conception of what constitutes a "calming influence." In his view, the agreements that the Trump administration has brokered between Israel and Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kosovo, and Sudan are not signs of a more stable region. But he does believe that a Biden administration would somehow have a pacifying effect. Especially if it responded to other Arab states' expressing an interest in formalizing relations with the world's only Jewish state by urging them to ask for more concessions from Israel in the Palestinian conflict. His idea of a balanced approach, then, entails the United States urging one of two willing parties in question not to agree to a deal unless one of the two provides more benefits to an unwilling fourth party. Got that?Later in the column, Halbfinger credulously entertains an unsubstantiated hypothetical scenario from Pfeffer in which Biden would invite "Mr. Netanyahu's rivals, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, to Washington for high-profile meetings while snubbing the prime minister." Similarly, he quotes a former adviser to former prime minister Shimon Peres, who speculated that Biden might say, "The party's over. I don't want to fight with you, but I intend to stabilize the situation, and you're going to help me. Forget about annexation. No surprises. No unilateral anything. And I need something constructive from you as well: Make it easier to shore up the Palestinian Authority before it collapses, and Gaza before it explodes. And I promise you I'll bring you into the room when I'm discussing Iran." Neither hypothetical is subject to qualification from Halfbinger. Bibi will just have to do as Uncle Joe tells him, of course — "the party's over."Most mainstream journalists tend to be sharply critical of Netanyahu, whom they characterize as fond of — as Halbfinger does in his piece — "divisive political tactics, denunciations of 'fake news' and playing to working-class voters' resentments." Netanyahu is a flawed man with no shortage of words and actions one can quibble with. But he has deftly guided Israel through every crisis it has faced during his tenure while — contrary to his political opponents' portrayal of him — operating as a pragmatist rather than a winger. Netanyahu knows there will be no good-faith negotiation with the current crop of Palestinian leaders. But with Arab leaders spooked by the Obama administration's absurd and illogical embrace of the Iranian regime, he saw an opportunity for rapprochement and took it.The Left's instinctive contempt for figures such as Netanyahu of course results in biased writing. But perhaps even worse is that it leads to inaccurate and unbalanced analysis. This is particularly true of columns labeled "News Analysis," which are habitually shrill and lacking in insight. Unfortunately, a few hysterical quotes from the expert class, who tend to share the opinion of the author, can suffice to gain this designation and the patina of objectivity that comes with it. Netanyahu's time as prime minister may well be coming to an end. He has, after all, held the position for nearly twelve years. But the idea that Donald Trump's loss will bring it about is the stuff of the New York Times editorial board's fantasies, not of sober analysis.
