When thousands rallied in the nation s capital Dec. 12 with a conviction that the Nov. 3 election had been stolen from President Donald Trump, among those headlining the event were a Texas Catholic bishop, a former papal nuncio to the U.S., several priests and a prominent Catholic pro-life leader.
Four days later, the conservative advocacy organization Catholic Vote sent out an email under the headline President-Suspect, saying that while Joe Biden is the president-elect on paper … that means nothing until the votes cast by the electoral college are opened by a joint session of Congress on January 6.

While small businesses continue to struggle and, in many cases, permanently close across the country due to pandemic restrictions, large corporations are growing stronger, according to a Washington Post analysis of economic and earnings data.

“These are times when the strong can get stronger,” Nike Chief Executive Officer John Donahoe said on a September conference call, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Nike reported in September net income of $1.5 billion for the period between June and August. Donahoe said Nike was positioned favorably in the “dynamic environment” in a statement following the company’s earnings call.

Who gets to jump to the head of the COVID-19 vaccine line?
President Trump delayed initial plans, first disclosed by The New York Times, to fast-track distribution of the vaccine to most
White House staff members, âunless necessary.â The scent of privilege for someone other than himself was too strong â even for a president whose cronies have shamelessly benefitted from COVID-19 treatments unavailable to others. But already there are other vaccine line-cutters, and their identity shows exactly whose work is valued by society. For example, congressional leaders who have yet to come up with a COVID-19 relief package for the country will be offered the vaccine before grocery workers who stock the shelves so the rest of us can eat.
