NEW MEXICO DROPS INDOOR MASK MANDATE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
New Mexico drops indoor mask mandate effective immediately
Wearing face coverings to slow the spread of COVID 19 disease in New Mexico. while strongly recommended by health officials. is no longer mandatory in the state. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Thursday the state would lift its mask mandate. which covers all residents over the age of 2 regardless of vaccine status in indoor public spaces. effective immediately. More: It's time to start 'inching' toward normalcy. Fauci says; 73% of Americans may be immune to omicron The initial announcement came at an in person press briefing that was not livestreamed. following the end of the 30 day legislative session. a month in which some lawmakers repeatedly chafed at rules they wear masks in the chamber. New Mexico was one of just a handful of states sticking to mask mandates for the public on Thursday. California lifted masking requirements for vaccinated residents this week. and Oregon's mask mandate is set to end March 31. The District of Columbia announced it would lift mask mandates at businesses March 1 and end its proof of vaccination requirement this week. That left New Mexico among Washington. Illinois. Hawaii and Puerto Rico maintaining public mask mandates. On Thursday. Washington governor Jay Inslee announced his state's mask mandate for residents and schoolchildren would end on March 21. New Mexico's move comes amid speculation the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was considering adjusting its recommendations that masks be worn by all in public indoor spaces. in places of high transmission of the SARS CoV 2 coronavirus. Daily cases have declined following a peak in a wave of cases and hospitalizations driven by the omicron variant. a wave that peaked in New Mexico at the end of January. Hospitals. however. remained jammed with patients. with nine operating under crisis standards of care. The health department declaration enabling crisis standards of care is set to expire on March 11. The Public Education Department confirmed that school districts will be free to set masking policies at the local level. The Gadsden Independent School District told the Sun News the district will leave it up to parents and staff whether they want to mask or not.

Head of nation’s largest 4 year university system resigns under fire
In this Nov. 4. 2017 file photo. then Fresno State president Joseph I. Castro waves to the crowd before an NCAA college football game against BYU in Fresno. Calif. | Gary Kazanjian. File/AP Photo By Chris Ramirez 02/17/2022 11:17 PM EST California State University’s chancellor announced late Thursday he would resign. effective immediately. amid allegations he mishandled sexual misconduct complaints involving a top administrator at Fresno State while he was serving there as campus president. Joseph I. Castro’s announcement comes after the CSU Board of Trustees met for hours behind closed doors to decide whether to open an investigation into the head of the nearly 500.000 student system. “While I disagree with many aspects of recent media reports and the ensuing commentary. it has become clear to me that resigning at this time is necessary so that the CSU can maintain its focus squarely on its educational mission and the impactful work yet to be done.” Castro said in a press release. Lawmakers and faculty had been calling for the CSU to open an internal investigation into the chancellor since early February. when USA TODAY reported Castro failed to respond to sexual harassment claims against a top administrator he had recruited to the campus. The probe comes years after a national reckoning around sexual harassment and assault on college campuses that forced many universities to strengthen their policies. When Castro was president of Fresno State. USA Today reported. Castro did not punish the administrator. Frank Lamas. despite internal campus investigations that found Lamas responsible for sexual harassment. the news story found. Instead. Castro praised Lamas in performance reviews and endorsed him for a lifetime achievement award. The campus administration received at least 12 complaints over the six years Lamas worked on campuses. leading student affairs and enrollment management. according to the news report. Three weeks before Castro was named chancellor in September 2020. Castro and Lamas entered a settlement agreement that barred Lamas from working for CSU. In return. Lamas was guaranteed $260.000. full benefits and a letter of recommendation from Castro to any other college jobs Lamas applied for. USA Today reported. Castro apologized in an open letter to students and faculty at Cal State. saying he regretted offering Lamas the letter of recommendation. He added that Lamas was removed from campus immediately after a formal Title IX claim was filed against Lamas in 2019. A growing number of faculty and state lawmakers had been calling for an investigation. outraged at the report. Such behavior happens “all the time.” CFA North Associate Vice President Meghan O�

US suspends avocado imports from Mexico after inspector receives threats
Until further notice. avocados will not be imported from Mexico to the U.S.. after a U.S. plant safety inspector in Mexico received a threat. The U.S. government suspension comes after a U.S. plant safety inspector in Mexico received a threatening message. Mexico’s Agriculture Department said in a statement. “U.S. health authorities ... made the decision after one of their officials. who was carrying out inspections in Uruapan. Michoacan. received a threatening message on his official cellphone.” the department wrote. It is not the first time that the violence in Michoacan – where the Jalisco cartel is fighting turf wars against a collection of local gangs known as the United Cartels – has threatened avocados. the state’s most lucrative crop. In August 2019. a U.S. Department of Agriculture team of inspectors was “directly threatened” in Ziracuaretiro. a town just west of Uruapan. While the agency didn’t specify what happened. local authorities say a gang robbed the truck the inspectors were traveling in at gunpoint. The USDA wrote in a letter at the time that. “For future situations that result in a security breach. or demonstrate an imminent physical threat to the well being of APHIS personnel. we will immediately suspend program activities.” News of the suspension may impact avocado prices and supply chains in the U.S.. Michael Swanson. Wells Fargo’s chief agricultural economist told The Washington Post. Swanson said eight out of 10 avocados purchased in the United States are from Michoacán. What's everyone talking about?: Sign up for our trending newsletter to get the latest news “In a few days. the current inventory will be sold out and there will be a lack of product in almost any supermarket.” Raul Lopez. Mexico manager of Agtools. which conducts market research of agricultural commodities told The Washington Post. “The consumer will have very few products available. and prices will rise drastically.” In a statement to USA TODAY. the Association of Avocado Exporting Producers and Packers of Mexico said it is working diligently with Mexican and U.S. authorities to resolve the suspension. 'The facts mentioned here have already impacted the economy of the entire program. affecting the industry and the more than 300.000 jobs that depend on it. We encourage all those actors in this value chain to take extreme care and vigilance to preserve such an important export program.' the APEAM said in a statement. Contributing: The Associated Press

Americans have yet to see a justification for Ukraine joining NATO: Tulsi Gabbard
Fox News's Tucker Carlson asked former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard why no one has been able to explain why Americans should want Ukraine to join NATO on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’ TULSI GABBARD: I've looked at this carefully. Tucker. and I have yet to find any benefit that a political leader has used or could use to justify this to the American people. All you hear is like. 'well we have to defend democracy. We have to defend this democratic country of Ukraine.' But as you know. very well. this current [Ukranian] president. you know. shuts down. arrests political opposition. throws them in jail. shuts down TV stations that are critical to him. I have a hard time seeing how President Biden or anyone can say with an honest face. ‘we are defending democracy.’ And the reason is because our own government has publicly supported these authoritarian actions by the Ukrainian president in shutting down their own political opposition. and it begs the question. This sounds familiar to some of the things that unfortunately. we're seeing play out right here at home. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE:

Opinion: With Ukraine under threat. Americans need to prepare for cyber war
Russia so far hasn’t used conventional troops or weapons to attack Ukraine. but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t attacked. It has been doing so relentlessly for years using electronic and psychological weapons. The United States has been a target of this. as well. especially in regard to disinformation and influence campaigns surrounding elections. But something much worse could be coming. But now the stakes are higher. Rather than continuing endless partisan wars. Americans should be uniting in an effort to prepare for what might be a serious attack on its electronic infrastructure. This should be given the same sense of urgency that a pending military attack would awaken. The consequences of a real cyber war are something all Americans should consider. As Joshua C. Huminski of The Hill wrote on Sunday. the United States hasn’t seen what a real cyber war looks like. “There have. of course. been cyberattacks. intelligence operations and criminality online. but an open war in cyberspace has not yet happened.” he wrote. Think along the lines of the 2017 “NotPetya” attack on Ukraine. in which some computers belonging to the financial. business and power grid sectors were wiped clean. Think of massive ransomware attacks. hacking and other mischief that puts financial systems and government at risk. If Russia invaded Ukraine and the United States responded with severe consequences. as President Joe Biden has promised. the next step might be a full on cyber war. Last month. Politico said hackers had disabled more than 70 government websites in Ukraine. Microsoft found malware planted in Ukrainian government systems that could be triggered remotely. A year ago. a report by the cybersecurity group Proofpoint found a majority of global chief information security officers worldwide saying they were unprepared for such a thing. according to The Hill. Earlier this week. FBI officials asked companies in the United States to tip them off to “any increased (cyber) activity against Ukraine or U.S. critical infrastructure.” That includes any attacks against financial. health and energy concerns. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency also issued a “shields up” alert. recommending all organizations. large and small. “adopt a heightened posture when it comes to cybersecurity and protecting their most critical assets.” These threats are a step up from tactics in the past. which were geared toward exacerbating political divisions in the United States. Young Mie Kim. a professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Journalism and an expert on political communication in digital media. uncovered many of these tactics leading up to the 2020 election

NJ police under fire after cuffing black teen in mall fight as white teen watches
A New Jersey police department is being criticized after two officers handcuffed and pinned a black teen to the floor during a weekend mall fight while the white teen involved in the feud was left to sit on a couch. The Saturday fracas at Bridgewater Commons — and the police response that has sparked an internal investigation — was captured on video that quickly spread on social media. The teens started out arguing with each other before things turned physical and the two exchanged punches and shoves. the video shows. Two officers from the Bridgewater Police Department arrived seconds later and pulled the white teen away from the other boy and pushed him onto a nearby couch. With the black teen already on the floor. the male cop pins him down and places his knee on the boy’s back. the video shows. The female officer then leaves the white teen alone and joins the male cop. also placing a knee near the back of the black teen’s neck as the two handcuff him. While the two cops are subduing the black teen. the other boy can be seen standing up and looking at the arrest taking place. “Yo. it’s ’cause he’s black. Racially motivated.” a person can be heard saying. The black teen. identified as Kye. told NBC News in an interview that he confronted the other boy. who had been bullying his friend. “He was kind of saying. like. ‘You’re a little kid. you’re my little pet.’ and stuff like that.” Kye said. Kye’s mother. who also spoke with the news outlet. slammed the police response. “It doesn’t take two cops to hold a 14 year old boy down who’s not resisting. while the other boy is just kind of going free and still going off on my son. It just doesn’t make sense.” she said. Gov. Phil Murphy said in a statement posted to Twitter that he was “deeply disturbed by what appears to be racially disparate treatment in this video.” In a Monday Facebook post. the Bridgewater Police Department announced that an internal probe would be conducted. Commenters to the department’s post voiced outrage at how the officers handled the situation. “Those officers need to be held accountable! Immediately!” one woman wrote. “We want an independent investigation. If we are going to restrain youth. both should have been restrained. Blackness is not more threatening.” another person said. A third Facebook user said: “Clearly they targeted one over the other. It is disgusting and evidences the reason why the African American community has no trust in the system whatsoever. Very upsetting.”

US small donors help fuel Canadian 'Freedom Convoy.' GiveSendGo confirms
The 'Freedom Convoy' of Canadian truckers that have been peacefully protesting in their country for weeks over the government's COVID 19 vaccine mandates have received significant support from Americans. according to the crowdfunding site currently facilitating donations to the group. GiveSendGo says it is still running the numbers. but it confirmed to FOX Business on Tuesday that it estimates roughly half the donations it has collected to help the group came from small donations made from the U.S. ‘THIS IS CANADA IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY'. BRIDGE BLOCKADE PROTESERS SPEAK OUT AFTER POLICE MOVE IN The confirmation comes after a hacker took over GiveSendGo's site over the weekend and posted a purported list of 93.000 donors to the Freedom Convoy's cause. along with a manifesto condemning the Christian crowdfunding site and the Canadian truckers. No credit card details were leaked. GiveSendGo co founder and CFO Jacob Wells told FOX Business that he could not confirm the validity of the entire distribution list being circulated at this point. but said prior to the hack it did appear that there was 'a pretty even split between donations coming from Canada and donations coming from the U.S..' and that 'the average donation was quite small – less than $100.' GiveSendGo became the fundraising platform for the truckers after competitor GoFundMe shut down a fundraising page for the Freedom Convoy on its own site a few weeks ago. when donations surpassed more than $10 million. ‘HE JUST GAINED MORE FREEDOM FIGHTERS’: TRUCKERS REACT TO TRUDEAU INVOKING EMERGENCIES ACT Derek Brouwer. a Canadian trucker and part of the convoy. told FOX Business that while he can't speak to the numbers. he has received an outpouring of support from Americans he does business with from Florida. New Mexico. and Georgia. He said a handful of them call him regularly. saying. 'We're really vouching for you. we're praying for you guys.' and that it's encouraging. 'We don't know what our expense is going to be on this.' Brouwer said. talking about the impact on drivers who are part of the Freedom Convoy. 'But I've already had someone basically say. 'if they take your truck. I'll buy you a new one.'' Brouwer says he's never lived in the U.S.. so he doesn't 'know why. exactly.' Americans are being so supportive of the Freedom Convoy's cause. but thinks it has to do with 'the restriction thing.' adding that 'it really bothers them down there.' 'They don't have nearly the restrictions we have. but that's because I think they're a little more independent than we are as [individuals].' he told FOX Business. saying he believes the protest has brought Americans and Canadians closer together.

More COVID money won't cover up Biden's failures
After pumping trillions of dollars into the economy over the last year. the Biden Administration is reportedly coming back to Congress to demand even more money to deal with the president’s COVID 19 crisis. Indeed. 2021 was a year defined by crisis. Inflation reached a forty year high; the southern border experienced the biggest surge in illegal immigration in a generation; and now America under President Biden is facing a nationwide COVID testing shortage. FILE —Registered nurse Bryan Hofilena attaches a 'COVID Patient' sticker on a body bag of a patient who died of coronavirus at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Los Angeles. Tuesday. Dec. 14. 2021. According to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. deaths in California from the coronavirus topped 80.000 on Friday. Feb. 4. 2022. Another 3.900 people are expected to die by month’s end. even as infections. hospitalizations and intensive care cases fell almost as fast as they had climbed during the omicron wave to eh pandemic. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong. File ) The President is desperately hoping that throwing more money at the problem will help clean up – or at least cover up – the mess he has created. But the truth is that this crisis is not about a lack of tax dollars at his disposal. but rather a lack of leadership in the White House. and Democrats’ fundamental dishonesty with the American people about...

Video shows hundreds of blackbirds falling from the sky and crashing into pavement
Hundreds of blackbirds were seen on video falling from the sky in Mexico and hitting the pavement. Some died on impact. The circumstances surrounding the event led some to question whether it was pollution or 5G on social media. However. an animal expert told The Guardian it was likely a predatory bird that led the flock of birds to the ground. Security camera footage recorded the incident on Feb. 7. according to the local paper El Heraldo de Chihuahua. Residents in the community saw hundreds of blackbirds dead on the streets and sidewalks and called police. Dr. Richard Broughton. an ecologist with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. told The Guardian he believed there was a raptor who chased the birds and drove them to the ground. What's everyone talking about? Sign up for our trending newsletter to get the latest news of the day 'Shouldn’t be on our landscape': Bird flu found on poultry farm in Indiana. nearly 30.000 turkeys killed to contain spread “This looks like a raptor like a peregrine or hawk has been chasing a flock. like they do with murmurating starlings. and they have crashed as the flock was forced low.” he said. “You can see that they act like a wave at the beginning. as if they are being flushed from above.” Other possible causes for the bizarre fall include the birds inhaling toxic smoke from a nearby heater or they were standing on an overloaded power line. In 2014. birds continued to fall from the sky in St. Louis. Mich.. after they fed on insects and grubs from contaminated soil. Decades of pollution for a former nearby chemical plant led to a forensic study that found lethal levels of DDT in the birds collected.
