Joe Manchin of West Virginia said Wednesday that stimulus checks of between $500 and $1,200 may be included in the final COVID-19 relief package expected this week.

http://youtu.be/mQDvbUAYg-E Wearing a used mask could be more dangerous than not wearing one at all when it comes to warding off COVID-19, a new study has found. A new three-layer surgical mask is 65 percent efficient in filtering particles in the air — but when used, that number drops to 25 percent, according to the study published Tuesday in the Physics of Fluids. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and California Baptist University say that masks slow down airflow, making people more susceptible to breathing in particles — and a dirty face mask can’t effectively filter out the tiniest of droplets.

http://youtu.be/i91H9Y7NBDQ President-elect Joe Biden blamed his raspy voice and bouts of coughing during his post-electoral vote speech on a “bit of a cold” — after it sparked concern among viewers. The former vice president addressed the nation after electors in the 50 states and the District of Columbia confirmed that he had won 306 electoral votes to President Trump’s 232 — but his voice sounded hoarse at times and he repeatedly paused to cough or clear his throat. #JoeBiden The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/_2-L4hjfph0 First lady-elect Jill Biden on Sunday night responded to the controversy surrounding a recent Wall Street Journal editorial that argued she should refrain from using the title “Dr.” before her name. “Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished,” Biden wrote on Twitter. The editorial, written by Joseph Epstein, said it “feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic” for the title to be used by Jill Biden, who has a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware. #JillBiden The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/U4ki1csuip4 Ghislaine Maxwell will propose a nearly $30 million bail package in hopes of getting sprung from a Brooklyn lockup — and will finally admit she’s a married woman, according to reports. The accused Jeffrey Epstein madam is expected to go to court in the coming days in a bid to be freed before Christmas, the Telegraph first reported. Roughly $25 million of the hefty package will be backed by Maxwell’s rumored husband, tech CEO Scott Borgerson — whose identity the British heiress refused to reveal at an initial bail hearing over the summer. The upcoming bail application will be the first time Maxwell will publicly acknowledge she is married, ABC News reported. Friends told the Telegraph that Borgerson is devastated that Maxwell has remained jailed at the Metro...

http://youtu.be/db8O2jYI018 A long-unsolved puzzle sent by the Zodiac Killer to the San Francisco Chronicle has finally been cracked by a team of coding experts — revealing a taunting message in which the murderer scoffed that he wasn’t scared of being executed if caught, the paper said Friday. “I hope you are having lots of fun in trying to catch me,” the killer wrote in the bizarre coded message — sent to the paper in 1969. “I am not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me to paradise all the sooner because I now have enough slaves to work for me.” The so-called ” 340 cipher”— a jumble of letters, numbers and symbols — doesn’t reveal the name of the still-unidentified killer, who terrorized northern California in the 1960s and 1970s. But coding experts were thrilled to dem...

http://youtu.be/h3Jgk2YwU7Q The Delaware computer shop owner at the heart of the Hunter Biden laptop saga has released a video defending himself against allegations that he’s a “Russian hacker” or spy. John Paul Mac Isaac said he was “hired, never paid” to transfer information from a MacBook Pro to an external hard drive — which was later found to contain bombshell emails about Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings. “For two generations, the Mac Isaac family has fought for the entirety of the Cold War against communism in the ’70s,” Mac Isaac says in a 3-minute YouTube video titled “The truth” and posted Dec. 5. “That’s why it’s completely absurd that why anyone would ever consider me to be a Russian agent or influenced by Russians. I am proud of my family, I’m proud of my country....

Andrew Cuomo and candidate for Manhattan borough president said working for the governor’s office was the “most toxic team environment” she’d ever experienced.

Sean Gilmartin — a relief pitcher who started his career with the New York Mets in 2015 and played for the Tampa Bay Rays last season — made his first appearance in the James S. Brady Briefing Room on Wednesday to support McEnany, but quickly became embroiled in the latest West Wing controversy when a White House pool report claimed he shouted, “You crushed it, Kayleigh!” as his wife left the podium.

http://youtu.be/vuRvdHXuk94 The truth is out there — but former President Barack Obama’s lips are sealed. The 44th commander-in-chief confirmed during a Monday interview with “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert that he sought classified information on extraterrestrials during his time in the Oval Office, but refused to divulge what he learned. “Certainly asked about it,” said Obama when Colbert brought up UFOs during a wide-ranging interview to promote “A Promised Land,” Obama’s new memoir. “And?” pressed the late-night CBS funnyman. “Can’t tell you,” replied Obama, with an impish grin. “Sorry.” Colbert took that non-answer as all the confirmation he needed that we are not alone. “All right, I’ll take that as a ‘yes,'” he cracked. “Because if there were none, you’d say there was none....
