Something new happening, invariably bloomberg.com WHO Discusses New Covid-19 Variant With ‘Unusual’ Mutations Janice Kew November 25, 2021, 7:19 PM GMT+8 A technician at a Covid-19 testing laboratory in Johannesburg, South Africa. Photographer: Waldo Swiegers/BloombergWorld Health Organization officials met on Thursday to discuss a new coronavirus variant circulating in South Africa and Botswana. The new variant, called B.1.1529, carries an unusually large number of mutations, Francois Balloux, director of the UCL Genetics Institute, said in a statement published by the Science Media Centre. It’s likely to have evolved during a chronic infection of an immuno-compromised person, possibly in an untreated HIV/AIDS patient, he said. “It is difficult to predict how transmissible it may be at this stage,” Balloux said. “For the time being, it should be closely monitored and analysed, but there is no reason to get overly concerned, unless it starts going up in frequency in the near future.” South Africa has detected 22 cases of the variant, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases said in a statement. “It is not surprising that a new variant has been detected in South Africa,” NICD Acting Executive Director Adrian Puren said in the statement. “Although the data are limited, our experts are working overtime with all the established surveillance systems to understand the new variant and what the potential implications could be. Developments are occurring at a rapid pace and the public has our assurance that we will keep them up to date.” The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier it will meet South African officials next week to discuss a new variant in the country.

What do those facts have to do with Rittenhouse? Rittenhouse shot a repeat child molestor he'd spent more than a decade in prison for child molestation. Like I said GREAT SHOOTING! Why would you defend this? Rosenbaum is controversial because of his past – he was convicted of child molestation-related charges – but Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled that jurors could not be told that information. He was also the focal point of controversy because of his behavior on the night of the shooting; numerous witnesses, even for the prosecution, described Rosenbaum as belligerent and getting into disagreements that night as well as being involved in an arson fire in a dumpster. Some of the counts allege anal rape and oral sex with minors, masturbating in front of a 15-year-old, distributing naked photos of a woman to a minor under age 18, and other similar offenses. There were five victims, all minor boys.Rosenbaum was convicted in 2016 for interfering with a monitoring device and was placed on lifetime probation in 2002. Court records also indicate that he had violations while on probation, including using synthetic cannabinoid and alcohol, not participating in sex offender treatment, and accessing sexually oriented materials considered inappropriate. While in prison in Arizona, he racked up many violations that were violent in nature. In Wisconsin, he had pending cases and open criminal cases. They include jumping bail and cases for domestic violence and domestic abuse. When his fiancée found pornography on his phone, the Washington Post reported, “Rosenbaum body-slammed her” and ended up in jail. He attempted suicide. ========================================== 2nd criminal was armed: Gaige Grosskreutz was arrested and charged with burglary ... In cross-examination, they emphasized Grosskreutz's Glock pistol — which was in his hand at the moment Rittenhouse shot him — and proximity to Rittenhouse, just about 3 feet, at the time of the shooting. Grosskreutz said he was not intentionally pointing the weapon at Rittenhouse. Lone survivor in Kyle Rittenhouse shooting acknowledges unholstering his own gun, worrying about teen’s safetyGrosskreutz with a glock in his hand had chased Rittenhouse for 2 blocks. Chirafisi asked why Grosskreutz did not initially tell police he had a gun that night. "And definitely not somebody I would want to become. And in that moment, I thought it would — I tried to attempt a non-lethal way to end that interaction." Grosskreutz has also filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing city and county officials in Kenosha of illegally deputizing a "roving militia" of "white nationalist vigilantes."

PUBLISHED: 12:49 EST, 20 November 2021 \| UPDATED: 16:38 EST, 20 November 2021 e-mail 596shares 2.5k View comments Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty on all charges Friday in a controversial trial that has divided the nation, may possibly have a defamation case against President Joe Biden over reference to 'white supremacists' in a video, experts said. The video was posted in a September 2020 tweet, which could now possibly cause Biden legal trouble, according to lawyer Todd McMurtry, who helped Nicolas Sandmann sue news outlets for upward of $800 million for defamation. The now-19-year-old famously settled with CNN and The Washington Post after they deemed him a racist when he was seen in viral video footage wearing a MAGA hat. Biden, 79, tweeted on September 30, 2020: 'There's no other way to put it: the President of the United States [ Donald Trump] refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night.'

'What you take from this tweet is that Kyle Rittenhouse was using his rifle and engaging in white supremacist misconduct, so it's actionable,' McMurtry told Fox News on Friday after Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges against him. The lawyer admitted the 18-year-old was 'not necessarily going to win' but it is 'actionable.' +6 Lawyer Todd McMurtry said President Joe Biden, 79, (pictured) could face a defamation case by Kyle Rittenhouse after insinuating he was a white supremacist in a campaign video denouncing Donald Trump from September 2020 +6 The September 2020 tweet featured a video that at one point showed Rittenhouse.

Biden released a statement following the verdict Friday, saying: 'While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken.' The president also said he knew 'we're not going to heal our country's wounds overnight' but he remains 'committed' to doing 'everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally.' Vice President Kamala Harris also told reporters that the 'verdict speaks for itself.' ‘It’s clear, there’s still a lot more work to do,' she said before boarding Air Force One in Columbus, Ohio.

Although household names now, without being public figures or celebrities beforehand, Rittenhouse and Sandmann only have to prove Biden's negligence, instead of a higher burden of proof actual malice, the lawyer said. Sandmann has also encouraged Rittenhouse to sue media outlets for defamation as well. 'The parallels between me and Rittenhouse are impossible not to draw,' Sandmann wrote in an op-ed for DailyMail.com. 'The attacks on Kyle came from the national news media, just as they came for me. 'So every single label on Kyle as a 'terrorist', 'white supremacist', and 'school shooter' in the streets of Kenosha, will only ever be withdrawn after the damage has been done. 'So, if Kyle is prepared to take on another burden in his early life, with the acceptance that it might result in nothing, I answer, give it a shot and hold the media accountable,' he wrote for DailyMail.com.
