DC finally accepts that Hunter laptop is his: New book on the Bidens by Politico admits Mail and others were right all along

Emails from Hunter Biden to business partners in 2015 and 2017 were confirmed to be real by sources familiar with them who had access to Hunter's messages

An email from a Burisma executive thanking Hunter for the opportunity to meet then-Vice President Joe Biden was among those validated by the book

'The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power' documents President Joe Biden's life-long work in the political arena

Biden previously denied ever having discussed Hunter's foreign business ties

The emails and recent confirmation of their validity cast doubt on that claim

Researchers detect malaria resistant to key drug in Africa

Scientists have found evidence of a resistant form of malaria in Uganda, a worrying sign that the top drug used against the parasitic disease could ultimately be rendered useless without more action to stop its spread.

Researchers in Uganda analyzed blood samples from patients treated with artemesinin, the primary medicine used for malaria in Africa in combination with other drugs. They found that by 2019, nearly 20% of the samples had genetic mutations suggesting the treatment was ineffective. Lab tests showed it took much longer for those patients to get rid of the parasites that cause malaria.

Drug-resistant forms of malaria were previously detected in Asia, and health officials have been nervously watching for any signs in Africa, which accounts for more than 90% of the world’s malaria cases. Some isolated drug-resistant strains of malaria have previously been seen in Rwanda.

Evidence of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria in Africa

Background

In the six Southeast Asian countries that make up the Greater Mekong Subregion, Plasmodium falciparum has developed resistance to derivatives of artemisinin, the main component of first-line treatments for malaria. Clinical resistance to artemisinin monotherapy in other global regions, including Africa, would be problematic.

Methods

In this longitudinal study conducted in Northern Uganda, we treated patients who had P. falciparum infection with intravenous artesunate (a water-soluble artemisinin derivative) and estimated the parasite clearance half-life. We evaluated ex vivo susceptibility of the parasite using a ring-stage survival assay and genotyped resistance-related genes.

Results

From 2017 through 2019, a total of 14 of 240 patients who received intravenous artesunate had evidence of in vivo artemisinin resistance (parasite clearance half-life, >5 hours). Of these 14 patients, 13 were infected with P. falciparum parasites with mutations in the A675V or C469Y allele in the kelch13 gene. Such mutations were associated with prolonged parasite clearance half-lives (geometric mean, 3.95 hours for A675V and 3.30 hours for C469Y, vs. 1.78 hours for wild-type allele; P<0.001 and P=0.05, respectively). The ring-stage survival assay showed a higher frequency of parasite survival among organisms with the A675V allele than among those with the wild-type allele. The prevalence of parasites with kelch13 mutations increased significantly, from 3.9% in 2015 to 19.8% in 2019, due primarily to the increased frequency of the A675V and C469Y alleles (P<0.001 and P=0.004, respectively). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms flanking the A675V mutation in Uganda were substantially different from those in Southeast Asia.

Conclusions

The independent emergence and local spread of clinically artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum has been identified in Africa. The two kelch13 mutations may be markers for detection of these resistant parasites.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-podesta-warns-congress-democrats-they-wont-get-full-3-5-trillion-investment-urges-them-to-unite/

John Podesta warns Democrats they won't get the "full $3.5 trillion investment" and urges them "to unite" in moving forward

In a memo sent to every Democratic congressional office, John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff and member of the Board of Directors at the Center for American Progress think tank, says the party "must unite and act together" to pass the president's domestic agenda — but at a size and price much smaller than many have in mind.

"The political reality is clear, given Democrats have no margin for error in the Senate and a limited margin in the House. We will not secure the full $3.5 trillion investment," he wrote. "It's time for Democrats to unite in finding the path forward."

Singling out the moderate Democrats who are more focused on moving the smaller infrastructure bill, Podesta said, "[T]o those Democrats who only favor the bipartisan infrastructure bill, know this: you are either getting both bills or neither –– and the prospect of neither is unconscionable. It would signal a complete and utter failure of our democratic duty, and a reckless abdication of our responsibility. It would define our generation's history and show that, when our time came, we failed, both for Americans now and in the years to come. Again, it's time for Democrats to unite, find an honorable compromise and a path forward."

His memo landed in congressional inboxes as the fate of President Biden's domestic agenda — and potentially the credit rating of the U.S. — hang in the balance. Democrats are feuding among themselves about the size and scope of the Biden "Build Back Better" agenda that is set to be squeezed into a massive budget bill and passed only with Democratic support. Meanwhile, the largest bipartisan infrastructure spending bill in nearly two decades awaits final passage in the House, where it's being held in reserve to coax moderate and liberal Democrats to agree on the larger budget plan.

He pointed out that the consequences of failing to pass the legislation would be devastating both economically for American families and for the climate — both issues addressed by the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.

And Podesta also reminded them that there would be political fallout: "Republicans will have ample ammunition to skewer their opponents, and Democrats will lose. Our majority, thin now, will be a thing of the past."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week also advised her Democratic colleagues that they "must be prepared for adjustments" and that she had promised "that we would not have House members vote for a bill with a higher topline than would be passed by the Senate." She was hopeful that "will be at the $3.5 trillion number."

As the disagreements continue to spill out into the open, the president is set to hold three separate White House meetings Wednesday with Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer; then a midafternoon gathering with a collection of House and Senate moderates; followed by a late afternoon confab with House and Senate liberals.

U.S. Marshals Service Operation Nets More Than 190 Fugitives

Operation Clean Sweep results in the arrest of numerous dangerous criminals throughout NJ

Newark, NJ – The U.S. Marshals Service has conducted a high-impact fugitive apprehension initiative focusing on some of the most violent offenders throughout New Jersey. This enforcement initiative, called Operation “Clean Sweep,” resulted in the arrest of more than 190 fugitives, gang members, sex offenders and violent criminals in the District of New Jersey.

“By employing a strategically focused approach to policing, our state, county, local, and federal, partners were able to locate and apprehend some of the most dangerous fugitives in the state of New Jersey. By removing these violent offenders from the streets, the communities they preyed upon can immediately feel more secure.” said U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr.

“Clean Sweep” was a month-long operation focusing special attention on areas within the state that were designated as priority counties such as Essex, Mercer, Camden, Atlantic, and Gloucester.

During Operation “Clean Sweep” the District of New Jersey and the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force used its multi-jurisdictional investigative authority and fugitive task force network to arrest over 72 gang members and others wanted on charges including 13 for homicide and 80 for weapons offenses. In addition, investigators seized 16 firearms, $5,259 in currency, and more than 1.475 kilograms of illegal narcotics.

Year to date the District of New Jersey and New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force have combined to arrest more than 97 individuals for homicide, 160 for sexual offenses, 23 for Failure to Register as Sex Offenders, and 223 for weapons offenses. A total of 18.879 kilograms of narcotics, $120,519 in cash, and 61 firearms have been recovered throughout the state.

“Many fugitives tend to re-commit violent crimes which increases danger to communities by making the neighborhoods where we live and work unsafe” said Mattos. “By collaborating with our state, county, local, and federal partners, and conducting enforcement endeavors like Operation Clean Sweep, law enforcement serves to disrupt these criminal activities. “

Many thanks to Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, Essex County Sheriff’s Office, Camden County Sheriff’s Office, New Jersey Department of Corrections, New Jersey State Police, Newark Police Department, Customs and Border Protection Special Response Team and the entirety of our New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force law enforcement partners throughout the state of New Jersey for their cooperation and assistance throughout this operation.

The concept behind interagency law enforcement operations such as Operation Clean Sweep evolved largely from regional and district task forces. Since the 1980s, the Marshals Service has combined their resources and expertise with local, state, and federal agencies to find and apprehend dangerous fugitives. Operation Clean Sweep continued this tradition.
