FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Donations are at an all-time low for the Salvation Army s Red Kettle Campaign. It s their biggest fundraiser of the year and, because of COVID-19, they are struggling to meet their goals.
This year, the Northwest Arkansas and River Valley Salvation Armys are far behind on donations. Northwest Arkansas still needs over $100,000 to reach their goal and the River Valley is over $80,000 behind their typical goal. Many of these donations go right back to the community. Without reaching their goals, they will have to cut back on the ways they can help.
Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

Joe Biden received a coronavirus vaccine dose yesterday and offered rare praise for President Trump before giving an awkward fist-bump to his nurse practitioner.
New Jersey nursing home residents won’t be getting vaccinated this week because state officials missed the deadline.
There have been complaints – and very valid ones at that – about members of Congress and their staff not having enough time to read the text of the more than 5,000 page relief bill.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that some people around Congress say they are declining to take a coronavirus vaccine because their religious faith calls for them to reject science.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said she would not receive a COVID-19 vaccine until elderly Americans have been vaccinated, while blasting federal health officials for recommending first responders be prioritized over the elderly when it comes to distribution.
Nick argues the fact the democrats are selfish when it comes to the COVID vaccine. Dr. Zeke Emanuel, one of the 10 advisory board members appointed to Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, once argued in an article that life is not worth living after 75.
