Georgia's GOP governor under fire after US Senate losses

ATLANTA (AP) — The 2020 election cycle has left Georgia’s Republican governor bruised even though he wasn’t on the ballot. The two Republican U.S. Senate candidates defeated in runoff elections Tuesday included Gov. Brian Kemp’s hand-picked appointee, Kelly Loeffler. Democrats showed new muscle in the traditionally Republican state, winning the presidency and two seats in the U.S. Senate. And now Kemp’s own party is turning against him. His acknowledgment of Democrat Joe Biden’s win over President Donald Trump infuriated the president, who has vowed to oppose Kemp’s reelection in 2022. Trump loyalist and Republican activist Debbie Dooley says she and others are working to recruit a Republican candidate to challenge Kemp in the primaries.

PARIS (AP) — A man in eastern France blew off much of his head and was killed when a New Year’s Eve firework exploded just as he went back to inspect it. Another man was killed by a home-made firework in neighboring Germany. Authorities said Friday that the 25-year-old killed overnight in Boofzheim, close to France’s eastern border with Germany, died instantly. Another man was treated for facial injuries. In neighboring Germany, police said a 24-year-old man died after lighting a home-made firework in Rietz-Neuendorf, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Berlin.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says there will be an “orderly transition on January 20th” now that Congress has concluded the electoral vote count certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
...fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!” — Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) January 7, 2021
Trump issued a statement early Thursday acknowledging his term in office is coming to a close just minutes after Congress certified his loss to Biden.
Trump says he totally disagrees with the outcome of the election, and claims falsely that the facts bear him out.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The conservationist group Sea Shepherd says two fishermen were injured when they rammed their small boat into a larger vessel being used by the group in efforts to protect the endangered vaquita porpoise. The attack is the latest round in an escalating spiral of protests by fishermen who use banned gill nets in Mexico’s Gulf of California, the only place the vaquita is found. Only as few as a dozen vaquitas are believed to remain, making them the world’s most endangered marine mammal. The two fishermen were treated by Mexican navy medics and taken ashore for treatment. Other fishermen threw gasoline bombs and fishing weights at the Sea Shepherd vessel.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A man has been arrested in northern Mexico for allegedly beating to death his three sons in order to get back at the children’s mother. Prosecutors in the northern state of Sonora said Sunday the boys were aged 3, 7 and 8. The crime was committed in the north-central state of Hidalgo on Jan. 2. The suspect apparently fled to Sonora, but was quickly detained there and returned to Hidalgo to face charges. Prosecutors said the man had an argument with the boys’ mother and killed the kids “in order to cause her great pain.”

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — An Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts fighter is accused of stabbing his two sisters early Thursday as they slept in a spare bedroom in his apartment. An arrest report says 31-year-old Irwin Rivera told investigators a “higher power” told him to stab them. Rivera is known as “The Beast.” According to jail records, he remained in the Palm Beach County Jail early Friday on two counts of premeditated attempted murder. An arrest report says multiple neighbors and one victim called 911 early to report the stabbing at Rivera’s Boynton Beach home early Thursday morning. He was arrested hours later.

Australian agency reviewing data on Vatican money transfers

ROME (AP) — Australia’s financial intelligence agency says it’s reviewing its data after questions were raised about its report that $1.8 billion was transferred from the Vatican to Australia over six years. The agency listed the transactions in response to a parliamentary inquiry without providing details about senders or recipients. The agency monitors financial transactions to identify criminal activity such as money laundering and tax evasion. The data raised eyebrows in Australia and Rome, since the amounts appeared to be greatly out of line with the Vatican’s financial reality. It also fueled media speculation that money from the Holy See helped influence the prosecution of an Australian cardinal who was convicted and then acquitted of sex abuse.

NEW YORK (AP) — The pandemic has transformed the annual Sundance Film Festival into a largely virtual event, but it has also reshaped many of the films that will unspool there. The wide majority of Sundance’s films were shot before the arrival of COVID-19. But there are numerous films that managed the seemingly impossible feat of making a movie through the crisis, while many of us were worrying about having enough toilet paper. Sundance will supply the fullest look yet of moviemaking under the pandemic. Even in an independent film world predicated on a can-do spirit, the results are often striking for their resourcefulness. Sundance gets underway Thursday.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — A daughter of a slain Sri Lankan journalist has filed a complaint with the United Nations Human Rights Committee over alleged government involvement in her father’s death 12 years ago. The Center for Justice and Accountability filed the complaint on behalf of the daughter of Lasantha Wickrematunge, who was allegedly killed by a military-linked hit squad while driving to work in 2009. Wickrematunge, editor of the now-defunct Sunday Leader newspaper, was a strong critic of current President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who was a powerful defense official at the time. A government official said he had no immediate comment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Bill Lee says Tennessee has become the first state in the nation to be approved to receive funding in a lump sum for its Medicaid program through a block grant program. Republicans contend that states need more flexibility to shape their Medicaid programs while also being given the opportunity to rein in spending. Democrats, however, have warned that spending caps might cause states to purge their rolls or reduce services. Democrats instead want to widen Medicaid eligibility. President-elect Joe Biden can rescind the change, but the director of Tennessee’s Medicaid program said there will be no reduction in services, in eligibility or in the amount paid to providers.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple is urging iPhone and iPad users to update their devices to fix security flaws that might have been “actively exploited” by hackers. Apple made the software upgrades available Tuesday, adding a rare note suggesting it was a serious threat. The company credited anonymous researchers for pointing out the vulnerability but provided little details about the nature of the threat. The company said one of the vulnerabilities affects the “kernel” of software of Apple’s operating system, iOS. Two others affect WebKit, the web browser engine used by Safari and other apps.

State leaders around the U.S. are increasingly pushing for schools to reopen this winter as teachers begin to gain access to the vaccine against the raging pandemic. Ohio’s governor is offering to give vaccinations to teachers at the start of February, provided their school systems agree to resume at least some in-person instruction by March 1. And Arizona’s governor is warning schools that he expects students back in the classroom despite objections from top education officials and the highest COVID-19 diagnosis rate in the nation over the past week. Meanwhile, the coronavirus deaths in the U.S. hit another one-day high at more than 4,300.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two White House officials say President Joe Biden on Monday will formally reinstate COVID-19 travel restrictions on non-U.S. travelers from Brazil, Ireland, United Kingdom and 26 other European countries that allow travel across open borders. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the upcoming order. The officials also confirmed that South Africa would be added to the restricted list because of concerns about a variant of the virus that has spread beyond that nation. Biden is effectively reversing an order from President Donald Trump in his final days in office that called for the relaxation of the travel restrictions.

Ministry roiled by late founder's sexual misconduct scandal

NEW YORK (AP) — A posthumous sexual misconduct scandal involving the man who founded, in his own name, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries has placed the global Christian organization in a wrenching predicament. It faces calls from within its own ranks to change its name, pay reparations to any victims and oust some top leaders, including Zacharias family members. Zacharias founded the international ministry in 1984. A Sept. 29 article in the evangelical publication Christianity Today asserted that over a period of about five years, Zacharias sexually harassed three women who worked as massage therapists at day spas he co-owned in an Atlanta suburb.

HONOLULU (AP) — People following a movement that promotes violence and a second U.S. civil war have been showing up at protests across the nation armed and wearing tactical gear. But the anti-government “boogaloo” movement has adopted an unlikely public and online symbol: Hawaiian print shirts. The brightly colored, often floral pattern of the so-called Hawaiian shirt, known in Hawaii as an aloha shirt, is synonymous with a laid back lifestyle. In Hawaii, it has an association with spirit of aloha, the Native Hawaiian sentiment of love, compassion and mercy. But now, the militant followers of the boogaloo philosophy are wearing the shirts at demonstrations about coronavirus lockdowns, racial injustice and the presidential election.

House sending Trump impeachment to Senate, GOP opposes trial

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is set Monday to bring the impeachment article against Donald Trump for the Senate trial. But a growing number of Republican senators say they oppose the proceedings against the former president. That’s a sign of the dimming chances that Trump will be convicted on the charge that he incited a siege of the U.S. Capitol. House Democrats who are prosecuting the case will walk the charge of “incitement of insurrection” to the Senate in the evening. But GOP passions appear to have cooled since the insurrection. And Republican senators who will serve as jurors in the trial are rallying to his legal defense. The trial is set to begin in two weeks.

TOKYO (AP) — A draft investigation report into the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown says it has detected dangerously high levels of radioactive contamination at two of the three reactors, adding to concerns about decommissioning challenges. The interim report says data collected by investigators showed that the sealing plugs sitting atop the No. 2 and 3 reactor containment vessels are as fatally contaminated as nuclear fuel debris that had melted and fell to the bottom of the reactors following the March 2011 tsunami and earthquake. The experts measured radiation levels at multiple locations inside the three reactor buildings and examined how radioactive materials moved and safety equipment functioned during the accident. The Nuclear Regulation Commission called the findings extremely serious.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A couple hundred journalists and opposition activists have marched peacefully in Haiti’s capital to enounce police brutality and demand justice for colleagues slain in recent years. The group on Thursday chanted “No more violence against journalists!” Some held up signs that read “The police scares us” and “When press freedom is threatened, it’s democracy that’s in danger.” Several journalists have been injured while covering recurrent, violent demonstrations in which protesters often clash with police. Others have been killed while working on unrelated stories.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand’s central bank says one of its data systems has been breached by an unidentified hacker who potentially accessed commercially and personally sensitive information. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand says in a statement a third party file sharing service it uses to share and store sensitive information has been illegally accessed. Governor Adrian Orr says the breach has been contained. He also says the bank’s core functions remain sound and operational. It’s unclear when the breach took place or if there were any indications of who was responsible, and in what country is the file sharing service based. Dave Parry, professor of computer science at Auckland University, told Radio New Zealand that another government was likely behind the bank data breach.

Watchdog: Fossil fuel firms need to curb climate gas leaks

BERLIN (AP) — The International Energy Agency says oil and gas companies aren’t doing enough to reduce the release of methane, a potent source of planet-heating emissions. A report published Monday by the Paris-based organization found the estimated 10% drop in methane emissions from oil and gas companies last year was largely due to lower production amid a global decline in demand due to the pandemic downturn. It warned that the amount of methane released into the atmosphere as part of the production process for fossil fuels could rebound again as economies recover. The agency called on countries and companies to do more to plug those leaks.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The family of a man killed by St. Paul police six years ago is suing the department. The aunt, mother and grandmother of Marcus Golden filed their federal lawsuit just before the statute of limitations was set to expire. The 24-year-old Black man was shot and killed by police outside a St. Paul apartment building on Jan. 14, 2015. His relatives allege Officers Jeremy Doverspike and Dan Peck used excessive force in violation of Golden’s constitutional rights. Police say Golden had been sending threatening messages to an ex-girlfriend, and drove at officers at high speed as they approached him. A grand jury concluded that the shooting was justified and declined to charge the officers.

A grand jury concluded that the shooting was justified and declined to charge the officers.",

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Riot police in Nepal have clashed with thousands of protesters demanding a return of the monarchy that was abolished more than a decade ago and the reinstatement of a Hindu state. Police blocked the main road to the prime minister’s office, using batons to beat the protesters, who responded by throwing rocks and sticks. There were no reports of serious injuries. It was the latest in a series of protests against the government by a variety of groups, including a governing party faction. Nepal’s centuries-old monarchy was abolished in 2008 by parliament and replaced by a republic with the president as head of state.

Cruz leads 11 GOP senators challenging Biden win over Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — A coalition of 11 Republican senators says it will challenge the outcome of the presidential election by voting to reject electors from some states when Congress meets next week to certify the Electoral College results that confirmed President-elect Joe Biden won. President Donald Trump’s extraordinary refusal to accept his election defeat and the effort to subvert the will of the voters has become a defining moment for Republicans and is tearing the party apart. The 11 senators, led by Ted Cruz of Texas, say they will vote against certain state electors unless Congress appoints an electoral commission to immediately conduct an audit of the election results. They acknowledged they are unlikely to change the results of the election.

Biden to propose 8-year citizenship path for immigrants
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill on Day One of his administration. It would provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal status, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the legislation. It’s a massive reversal from the Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies. The legislation puts Biden on track to deliver on a major campaign promise after four years of President Donald Trump’s restrictive policies. But it does not include beefed-up border security, which makes passage in Congress in doubt.

NEW YORK (AP) — First a rally, then assault. Then riot, insurrection or attempted coup? The language used by the American media to describe last week’s siege at the U.S. Capitol proves one thing no matter your political point of view: Words matter. The coverage has sent Americans to their dictionaries and has news organizations carefully considering the terminology that is used. The word “riot,” despite controversy surrounding racial connotations, has been applied pretty much universally. Terminology was also affected by the relatively slow way the full story of what happened at the Capitol came out, through further reporting and images.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Associated Press review of records finds that veterans of President Donald Trump’s unsuccessful campaign had key roles in the Washington rally that spawned a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol. The findings undercut claims that the Jan. 6 event was the brainchild of the president’s grassroots supporters. A pro-Trump nonprofit group called Women for America First hosted the “Save America Rally.” Paperwork filed to get an event permit from the National Park Service lists more than half a dozen people who just weeks earlier had been paid thousands of dollars by Trump’s campaign. Since the siege, several of them have scrambled to distance themselves from the rally

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets general manager Jared Porter sent graphic, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016 while working for the Chicago Cubs in their front office, according to an ESPN report. Porter sent dozens of texts to the woman, concluding with a picture of “an erect, naked penis,” the report said. ESPN said it obtained a copy of the text history. New York hired the 41-year-old Porter last month after he spent the past four seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks as senior vice president and assistant general manager. Mets president Sandy Alderson said in a statement that Porter acknowledged to him a serious error in judgment, expressed remorse and had previously apologized for his actions.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri appeals court has rejected a second appeal by St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner challenging her removal as prosecutor against Mark McCloskey, who along with his wife, Patricia, pointed weapons at racial injustice protesters last year. Gardner argued the disqualification of her and her office from Mark McCloskey’s case should not have also applied to Patricia McCloskey’s case. The appeals court rejected Gardner’s challenge on Wednesday. Gardner now needs the Missouri Supreme Court to reinstate her office to the case. A spokeswoman for Gardner says her office will appeal the latest decision.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has published 751 pages of evidence it received from the United States against Mexico’s former Defense Secretary, Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos. The unprecedented move came a day after Mexico announced it was dropping the drug trafficking case against Cienfuegos, whom the U.S. arrested in October but then returned in November after dropping charges under pressure from the Mexican government. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador dismissed the evidence against Cienfuegos Friday as circumstantial and accused the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration of fabricating the accusations and displaying a lack of professionalism in their investigation.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s Mount Semeru has spewed hot clouds as far away as 4.5 kilometers. The 3,676-meter-high mountain is the highest volcano on Indonesia’s most densely populated island of Java. There were no immediate evacuations, but the National Disaster Mitigation Agency warned people who live in the villages on the slopes of the mountain to be vigilant in looking for signs of danger. Agency spokesperson Raditya Jati said that people around the river basin on the slopes of the mountain should beware of high rainfall intensity that can trigger lava floods. Indonesia’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center did not raise Semeru’s alert status, which already had been at the third-highest level since it began erupting in May.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sarah Fuller, the first woman to score in a Power Five conference football game, says she’s been invited to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Fuller posted on social media that she was honored to be invited and noted the inauguration “is especially meaningful for American women and girls.” Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will become the first woman to hold that office. Attendance at the inauguration will be strictly curtailed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and security measures put in place after a violent mob supporting President Donald Trump invaded the U.S. Capitol.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A roadside bomb has exploded in Afghanistan’s capital, killing at least three people in a vehicle, the latest attack to take place even as government negotiators are in Qatar to resume peace talks with the Taliban. Tariq Arian, spokesman for the interior minister, said a spokesman for the ministry’s public protection forces — a security force — was one of the three killed in the attack. One other person was wounded he said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks in the capital in recent months.

Proud Boy organizer arrested in Florida over riot at Capitol

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say an organizer of the Proud Boys far-right extremist group has been arrested on charges of taking part in the siege of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month. Thirty-seven-year-old Joseph Biggs was arrested Wednesday in central Florida. According to an arrest affidavit, Biggs was part of a crowd on Jan. 6 that overwhelmed Capitol Police officers who were manning a metal barrier on the steps of the Capitol. The mob then entered the building as lawmakers were certifying President Joe Biden’s election win. Biggs had organized a 2019 rally in Portland, Oregon, in which more than 1,000 far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-demonstrators faced off. It’s unclear whether Biggs has an attorney.

The Wolverines had a 19-point edge in the second half after leading by just six points after a sloppy first half. Dickinson led the way before and after halftime, making 12 of 15 shots and grabbing eight rebounds. The Golden Gophers made fewer than one-third of their shots and only Marcus Carr scored in double figures. Carr was held to 14 points after entering the game averaging 22-plus points per game.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The workers who clean coronavirus intensive care units say that their work has been overlooked since the pandemic began. The cleaners run a daily gantlet of risks to ensure that ICUs run smoothly and are critical to preventing the spread of disease in hospitals. But their status as unskilled laborers in a behind-the-scenes role has left them out of the public eye. One cleaner who works at the main COVID-19 treatment center in Athens, Greece, says the cleaning crew feels like “the smallest cog in the wheel.” Medical experts agree that cleaning is vital in hospitals, where infections are especially troublesome.

A Census Bureau official says that the numbers used for divvying up U.S. congressional seats among the states won’t be ready until the end of April. A top bureau official said Wednesday that the new goal for finishing data processing for the apportionment numbers is now April 30. The deadline for turning in the apportionment numbers has been a moving target since the pandemic upended the Census Bureau’s once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident. The numbers were supposed to be turned in at the end of last year. Government attorneys most recently had said that the numbers wouldn’t be ready until early March because of data irregularities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is ending a chaotic session with a rare rebuff by Republicans of President Donald Trump. GOP senators are ignoring the outgoing president’s demand to increase the $600 COVID-19 aid checks to $2,000. They are poised to override his veto of a major defense bill. Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is trying to bridge the divide. He says Congress could try again to approve bigger COVID aid checks after the new session opens Sunday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Congress has provided enough pandemic aid, for now. The stalemate is expected to drag into the weekend.

NEW YORK (AP) — It was a tense night for news organizations that gave Tuesday’s vote count for the Georgia Senate runoffs the type of intense attention that the presidential election received. With wall-to-wall coverage, cable news networks displayed an avalanche of numbers, edgy nerves and a lot of Steve Kornacki. He and CNN’s John King dominated their networks with intense number crunching. At the same time networks were portraying the race as a tossup, some online coverage was becoming increasingly bullish on the Democrats. If Democrats win the two Georgia races, they effectively take control of the U.S. Senate.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An unusually broad field is vying to be the next governor of Virginia as the marquee political contest of 2021 gets into full swing. Only New Jersey and Virginia are set to elect governors this year, and the Old Dominion’s off-year contest has a strong track record of being an early indicator of broader national trends, previewing voter backlashes against Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump in recent election cycles. Virginia has traditionally elected business-friendly moderates of both parties to be its chief executive, but the depth of the 2021 field reflects the state’s changing political dynamics and the unsettled mood among both Republicans and Democrats.

CHIPPEWA COUNTY (WQOW) - A convicted sex offender is going back to prison after being sentenced on Friday for sexually assaulting another child.
Chippewa County Judge Benjamin Lane sentenced Timothy Wundrow to 12 years behind bars. He pleaded guilty last October to sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl at his residence in Lake Hallie.
In an earlier case, Wundrow pleaded guilty to repeatedly sexually assaulting two children. Court records show Judge Roderick Cameron sentenced Wundrow to a year in jail with work release as well as more than seven years of probation.

NEW YORK (AP) — The violent breaching of the halls of power on Capitol Hill by insurrectionists represents one of the plainest displays of a racial double standard in modern history. Broad and bipartisan condemnation of the insurrectionist mob came swiftly as they had a nearly unhindered, hours-long run of the Capitol building complex Wednesday. But the display is consistent with a long pattern of how society coddles racists and downplays the violent white supremacist ideology that routinely places the grievances of white people above those of their Black, often disenfranchised and downtrodden countrymen and women.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The head of the Wisconsin Capitol Police told state lawmakers to stay away from the Capitol building this weekend and suggested that they remove any personal information from social media accounts due to threats of unrest at capitols in all 50 states. Chief David Erwin told lawmakers in a Thursday memo obtained by The Associated Press that they were “not aware of specific credible threats to legislators,” but that “there continues to be active social media commentary regarding the threat of ongoing unrest.” Legislators were told that law enforcement will have an “increased presence” at the Wisconsin Capitol next week. Gov. Tony Evers also activated an unspecified number of National Guard troops to help protect the Capitol.

No classified systems are believed to have been affected, according to a statement from Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi. The statement did not identify who the potentially compromised email accounts may belong to. And it’s not immediately clear whether the intrusion at the Justice Department and other agencies included access to data other than email because Microsoft’s Office 365 includes multiple document-sharing and collaborative components.

NEW YORK (AP) — Many in the mob that attacked the Capitol did so while livestreaming, posting on Facebook and taking selfies, turning the Capitol into a theater of real-time far-right propaganda. Journalists documenting the chaos captured the storming of the Capitol. But the pervasive self-documentation of the rioters told another story: the on-the-ground culmination of an online alternative reality, one fueled by QAnon conspiracies, false claims of fraud in the election and Trump’s own rhetoric. Taken together, the fragmented feeds from Wednesday’s incursion form a tableau of an ill-conceived insurrection. Experts of far-right extremists expect some images will be used as fodder for recruitment.

The Latest: National Mall closed to public before inaugural
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s impeachment and the fallout from the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol by pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):
11:55 a.m.
The National Park Service has closed Washington’s National Mall to the general public as part of greatly intensified security ahead of Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration.
The closure started Friday morning. It will remain in force at least through Thursday, the day after Biden’s inauguration, the National Park Service said in a statement.
The Secret Service asked for the closing. Thousands of National Guard troops are deployed in the nation’s capital as part of extraordinary security, after supporters of President Donald Trump overran the Capitol building Jan. 6 as lawmakers were certifying results in Biden’s election victory over Trump.
The park service will still allow inauguration activities and permitted free-speech events on the National Mall despite the closure, it said.
The park service said it would allow only small demonstrations for permit holders and would escort any protesters and hold them in designated areas, along with other safety measures.
National Park Service and Interior Department spokespeople did not immediately respond when asked if any protest permits had been granted or applied for.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IMPEACHMENT AND THE FALLOUT FROM THE JAN. 6 RIOTING AT THE CAPITOL:
President Donald Trump is facing an impeachment trial in the Senate that could begin on Jan. 20, the day Democrat Joe Biden is inaugurated as America’s 46th president. Trump was impeached on Wednesday, one week after he encouraged a mob of loyalists to “fight like hell” against election results and the Capitol became the target of a deadly siege. The FBI is warning that armed protests by violent Trump supporters are being planned in all 50 state capitals as well as in Washington.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
10:25 a.m.
Defense Department officials are scrambling to call governors and asking whether they have any more National Guard troops they can send to Washington to help protect the Capitol and the city.
A defense official familiar with the discussions says law enforcement leaders and other authorities have now determined that they’ll need about 25,000 National Guard troops. And they say that number could still grow.
As of Friday morning, officials had commitments from states for close to 22,000 members of the Guard. That’s according to the official, who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
In recent days, defense and military leaders have said they understand that states are also facing their own looming protests and the first priority of the governors is to protect their own capitals.
The number of Guard officials are seeking to help protect the District of Columbia in the run-up to Wednesday’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden has increased almost daily.
Defense and law enforcement authorities have been revising the numbers as they go through rehearsals and other drills to determine how many and where they need the Guard reinforcements to help lock down Washington.

10 a.m.
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog says it will investigate how the department and its agencies prepared for and responded to last week’s riots at the U.S. Capitol.
The investigation by the inspector general’s office will examine whether information was appropriately shared by the Justice Department to other law enforcement agencies about the potential for violence.
The inspector general said it “also will assess whether there are any weaknesses in DOJ protocols, policies, or procedures” that hampered preparation and response to the events.
The review is one of multiple ones launched by inspectors general, including at the departments of Homeland Security and Defense and at the Interior Department, which oversees the Park Police.
The initiation of the review signals concern among the watchdogs that the preparations for, and response to, the breach of the Capitol by loyalists of President Donald Trump was lacking.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s impeachment and the fallout from the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol by pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):\n11:55 a.m.\nThe National Park Service has closed Washington’s National Mall to the general public as part of greatly intensified security ahead of Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration.\nThe closure started Friday morning. It will remain in force at least through Thursday, the day after Biden’s inauguration, the National Park Service said in a statement.\nThe Secret Service asked for the closing. Thousands of National Guard troops are deployed in the nation’s capital as part of extraordinary security, after supporters of President Donald Trump overran the Capitol building Jan. 6 as lawmakers were certifying results in Biden’s election victory over Trump.\nThe park service will still allow inauguration activities and permitted free-speech events on the National Mall despite the closure, it said.\nThe park service said it would allow only small demonstrations for permit holders and would escort any protesters and hold them in designated areas, along with other safety measures.\nNational Park Service and Interior Department spokespeople did not immediately respond when asked if any protest permits had been granted or applied for.\n___\nHERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IMPEACHMENT AND THE FALLOUT FROM THE JAN. 6 RIOTING AT THE CAPITOL:\nPresident Donald Trump is facing an impeachment trial in the Senate that could begin on Jan. 20, the day Democrat Joe Biden is inaugurated as America’s 46th president. Trump was impeached on Wednesday, one week after he encouraged a mob of loyalists to “fight like hell” against election results and the Capitol became the target of a deadly siege. The FBI is warning that armed protests by violent Trump supporters are being planned in all 50 state capitals as well as in Washington.\nRead more:\nJustice Department watchdog opens probe of response to riot\nCapitol rioters included highly trained ex-military and cops\nPelosi’s nine impeachment managers hope to ‘finish the job’\nAmid cacophony since Capitol siege, key officer stays silent\nGOP senators in spotlight as second impeachment trial looms\nTrump impeachment trial to focus on his attacks on election\nImpeachment complicates the early days of Biden’s presidency\n___\nHERE’S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:\n10:25 a.m.\nDefense Department officials are scrambling to call governors and asking whether they have any more National Guard troops they can send to Washington to help protect the Capitol and the city.\nA defense official familiar with the discussions says law enforcement leaders and other authorities have now determined that they’ll need about 25,000 National Guard troops. And they say that number could still grow.\nAs of Friday morning, officials had commitments from states for close to 22,000 members of the Guard. That’s according to the official, who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity.\nIn recent days, defense and military leaders have said they understand that states are also facing their own looming protests and the first priority of the governors is to protect their own capitals.\nThe number of Guard officials are seeking to help protect the District of Columbia in the run-up to Wednesday’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden has increased almost daily.\nDefense and law enforcement authorities have been revising the numbers as they go through rehearsals and other drills to determine how many and where they need the Guard reinforcements to help lock down Washington.\n—Associated Press writer Lolita C.

Trump's made-up claims of fake Georgia votes
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
President Donald Trump put forth a dizzying array of fuzzy accounting and outright false claims in an extraordinary phone call to Georgia’s secretary of state seeking a reversal of his election defeat, fabricating a slew of votes that he said should’ve been counted in his favor.
In the hourlong conversation Saturday with Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, Trump suggested that the Republican “find” enough votes to hand Trump the victory.
The Associated Press obtained the full audio of Trump’s conversation with Georgia officials from a person on the call. The AP has a policy of not amplifying disinformation and unproven allegations. The AP plans to post the full audio as it annotates a transcript with fact check material.
A look at Trump’s claims on the call and how they compare with reality:
TRUMP: “If we can go over some of the numbers, I think it’s pretty clear we won, we won very substantially in Georgia.”
THE FACTS: No, Trump lost Georgia in an election the state has certified for Democrat Joe Biden. Republican election officials have affirmed the election was conducted and counted fairly.
With ballots counted three times, including once by hand, Georgia’s certified totals show Trump lost to Biden by 11,779 votes out of nearly 5 million cast. Raffensperger certified the totals with officials saying they’ve found no evidence that Trump won.
No credible claims of fraud or systemic errors have been sustained. Judges have turned away legal challenges to the results, although at least one is still pending in state court.
___
TRUMP: “People should be happy to have an accurate count… We have other states I believe will be flipping to us shortly.”
THE FACTS: No reversal of the election outcome is in the offing, in Georgia or other states.
Biden defeated Trump by some 7 million popular votes nationwide and by a tally of 306-232 in the Electoral College, achieving victory in other key states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
Trump’s former attorney general, William Barr, found no evidence of widespread election fraud. Trump’s allegations of massive voting fraud have been dismissed by a succession of judges and refuted by state election officials and an arm of his own administration’s Homeland Security Department.
A group of Senate Republicans, led by Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, say they plan to object to the election results when Congress meets on Wednesday to tally Biden’s Electoral College victory over Trump.
The objections will force votes in both the House and Senate, but none are expected to prevail.
___
TRUMP: “The ballots are corrupt and you’re going to find that they are, which is totally illegal. It’s more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did and you’re not reporting it. That’s just, you know, that’s a criminal, that’s a criminal offense. And, you know, you can’t let that happen.”
THE FACTS: Trump appears to be suggesting that Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, the secretary of state’s legal counsel, could be criminally liable if they failed to discover Trump’s phantom fraud that thousands of ballots in Fulton County had been illegally destroyed. There’s no evidence that the two knew about any election interference and failed to report it, or that any such interference exists.
Legal experts said Trump’s own statements raised questions about possible violations of state and federal law aimed at guarding against the solicitation of election fraud.
___
TRUMP: “The other thing, dead people. So dead people voted. And I think the number is in the — close to 5,000 people. And they went to obituaries. They went to all sorts of methods to come up with an accurate number. And a minimum is close to about 5,000 voters.”
THE FACTS: Not true. Georgia officials have debunked previous claims by the Trump campaign in November that three particular people had voted illegally, finding that other people with similar names had voted. At the time, a local district attorney announced an investigation into whether a ballot had illegally been cast in the name of a northwest Georgia man who died in 2015.
On Saturday, Raffensperger said two illegal votes on behalf of dead people have been confirmed, not thousands as Trump alleged. “The actual number were two. Two. Two people that were dead that voted. And so that’s wrong,” Raffensperger said.
___
TRUMP: “We have anywhere from 250 (thousand) to 300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls, much of that had to do with Fulton County, which hasn’t been checked.”
THE FACTS: There’s nothing mysterious or suspect about it. He is describing a legitimate vote counting process, not a sudden surge of malfeasance.
Trump appears to be referring to large numbers of votes that were tabulated in the early hours of Wednesday morning after Election Day and later. The arrival of those votes was not mysterious, but expected, because many of Georgia’s 159 counties had large stacks of mail-in ballots that had to be tabulated after polls closed and in-person ballots were counted.
Indeed, news organizations and officials had warned in the days leading up to the election that the results would likely come in just as they did: In-person votes, which tend to be counted more quickly, would likely favor the president, who had spent months warning his supporters to avoid mail-in voting and to vote in person either early or on Election Day.
And mail-in-ballots, which take longer to count since they must be removed from envelopes and verified before they are counted, would favor Biden. States tend to count mail-in ballots at the end of the process.
___
TRUMP: “We think … if (there is) a real check of signatures going back in Fulton County, you’ll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures.”
THE FACTS: That has no basis in reality.
It would be impossible for anyone to have forged hundreds of thousands of signatures on mail-in ballots in Fulton County because there were only about 147,000 mail-in ballots in Georgia’s most populous county, with about 116,000 of them going to Biden.
___
TRUMP, claiming thousands of voters moved out of Georgia, registered in another state, and then improperly cast ballots in Georgia: “They came back in, and they voted. That was a large number.”
THE FACTS: Not so. Trump supporters are working from a list of questionable accuracy, according to Ryan Germany, the general counsel for Raffensperger’s office. He told Trump during the call that the claims have been investigated and that in many cases, voters “moved back years ago. It’s not like it happened just before the election. There’s something about that data that it’s just not accurate.”
___
TRUMP: “It doesn’t pass the smell test, because we hear they’re shredding thousands and thousands of ballots and now what they’re saying (is) ‘Oh, we’re just cleaning up the office.’”
THE FACTS: The shredding in question was taking place in suburban Cobb County, not in Fulton County as Trump claimed. Cobb County elections officials said Nov. 24 that none of the items shredded by a contractor were “relevant to the election or the re-tally” and instead were things like old mailing labels, other papers with voter information, old emails and duplicates of absentee ballot applications.
___
TRUMP, claiming that a Fulton County election worker fed ballots through a machine three times instead of only once, saying his campaign would release a video proving it: “It can’t be disputed. We have a version that you haven’t seen, but it’s magnified. It’s magnified and you can see everything. For some reason, they put it in three times each ballot. And I don’t know why, I don’t know why three times and not five times, right?”
THE FACTS: There was no double or triple tallying of ballots. Raffensperger noted that ballots in Georgia have been counted and then recounted twice more for accuracy, including once by hand, and no discrepancy showed up in the Fulton County ballots, as it would have if someone improperly counted votes multiple times. “We did an audit of that,” Raffensperger told Trump. “It was proved conclusively that they were not scanned three times.”
___
TRUMP, attacking a legal settlement that Georgia signed with the state Democratic Party over how signatures on absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots are verified. “You can’t check signatures, you can’t do that… You’re allowed to do harvesting, I guess, in that agreement. That agreement is a disaster for this country.”
THE FACTS: There is nothing in the March 6 agreement that prevents Georgia’s election clerks from scrutinizing signatures. The legal settlement addresses accusations about a lack of statewide standards for judging signatures on absentee ballot envelopes. Raffensperger has said that not only is it entirely possible to match signatures, but that the state requires it.
Ballot harvesting, the practice of collecting numbers of absentee ballots and delivering them back to elections officials, remains illegal in Georgia.
___
TRUMP: “That was not a settlement agreement. It’s a consent decree. It even says consent decree on it, doesn’t it? It uses the term consent decree. It doesn’t say settlement agreement, it’s a consent decree, it’s a disaster.”
RAFFENSPERGER: “It’s a settlement agreement.”
TRUMP: “What’s written on top of it?”
RYAN GERMANY: “I don’t have it in front of me, but it was not entered by the court, it’s not a court order.”
TRUMP: “It’s called a consent decree. Is that right, on the paper?”
THE FACTS: It’s a settlement agreement, agreed to by the parties. The March 6 document is entitled “Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release.”
___
TRUMP, referring to investigations into his baseless claims of voter fraud: “You have your never-Trumper U.S. attorney there.”
THE FACTS: The U.S. attorney in Atlanta is a actually a Trump appointee. Byung J. “BJay” Pak is a longtime Republican who also served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 until 2017. He was nominated by Trump to become the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in 2017. In announcing his nomination, the White House said that Pak and five other nominees for U.S. attorney’s posts “share the president’s vision for ‘Making America Safe Again.’” Pak had previously also worked as an assistant U.S. attorney.
___
TRUMP, citing 18,000 “suspicious” votes: “The tape that’s been shown all over the world … they said very clearly there was a major water main break. Everybody fled the area and then they came back … there were no Republican poll watchers … and there was no law enforcement … It was stuffed with votes. They weren’t in an official voter box, they were in what looked to be in suitcases or trunks. … The minimum number it could be … was 18,000 ballots, all for Biden.”
THE FACTS: That’s a gross distortion of what actually happened.
State and Fulton County election officials say surveillance video that Trump refers shows no improper behavior, but normal ballot processing using not suitcases, but ballot containers on wheels. Officials said that the entire video showed the same workers had earlier packed the ballot containers with valid, uncounted ballots.
Republicans have contended that their observers were told to leave Fulton County’s vote counting center, but elections officials said they actually left after confusion that arose because election workers thought they were done for the night.
An independent monitor and an investigator in fact oversaw the vote count, according to state and county officials. Trump also refers to a fake confession attributed by a woman allegedly involved in the incident that was posted on social media.
___
TRUMP: “In other states we think we found tremendous corruption with Dominion machines, but we’ll have to see.”
THE FACTS: No “tremendous corruption” has been found.
There’s “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised,” said the federal agency that oversees election security, in a statement joined by state and electoral-industry officials.

Food is a growing focus for insurers as they look to improve the health of the people they cover and cut costs. More plans are paying for temporary meal deliveries and some are branching beyond that to teach people how to cook and eat healthier foods. Benefits experts say insurers and policymakers are growing used to treating food as a form of medicine that can help reduce blood sugar or blood pressure levels and keep patients out of expensive hospitals. This push is still relatively small and happening mostly with government-funded programs like Medicaid or Medicare Advantage.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani police say two children died and three others were wounded when a hand grenade they had found and brought home exploded. According to the police, the children found the grenade in an open area in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Wednesday and took it to their home. The three wounded were said to be in critical condition at a hospital. Peshawar is the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which borders Afghanistan. Militants have for years had a strong presence there and the area still has leftover weapons and unexploded ordnance. A local official says the police are investigating.

BEIRUT (AP) — The unveiling of a large statue in Beirut of the Iranian commander killed by the U.S. last year has sparked indignation among many in Lebanon. It’s the latest manifestation of a growing schism between supporters and opponents of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The bronze bust of Gen. Qassem Soleimani was erected Tuesday by the Ghobeiry municipality in a Hezbollah stronghold on the road leading to Beirut’s airport. It was erected to commemorate the slain general’s supportive role in the wars with Israel. Soleimani, the architect of Iran’s proxy militias in the Middle East, was killed in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad airport a year ago.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Midwestern winter storm is making travel treacherous as wind-whipped snow piles up in Wisconsin Tuesday. Snow plow drivers worked to keep up as snow accumulated on highways and city streets. Crashes involving semis temporarily closed interstate lanes south of Milwaukee. Hundreds of schools called of classes, while others switched to virtual instruction. The National Weather Service predicted 4 to 10 inches of snow would fall in the Milwaukee area with the highest totals along Lake Michigan. A winter storm warning was posted until 6 p.m. for Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties.

WUHAN, China (AP) — Two new films about Wuhan have been released on the eve of the anniversary of the 76-day lockdown in the central Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected. How they were released and who their audiences are stand in stark contrast. The first, a state-backed film praising Wuhan’s sacrifices, is being screened throughout China, targeting audiences that firmly back the Communist Party’s response to the outbreak. The second, a somber documentary about the pandemic from artist and political activist Ai Weiwei, has been forced to seek viewers online, a testimony to the party’s influence over the global film industry. China has sought to control the narrative and deflect blame about the pandemic’s origins, silencing any criticism of early missteps.

Businesses are rethinking political contributions in the wake of the deadly Capitol siege by President Donald Trump’s supporters on Wednesday. Citigroup is pausing all federal political donations for the first three months of the year. In a memo to employees, Citi’s head of global government affairs Candi Wolff said the company wanted its employees to be assured that Citigroup will not support candidates “who do not respect the rule of law.” The trade group representing Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, meanwhile, said it’s suspending political contributions to lawmakers who voted last week to reject the Electoral College results that cemented Democrat Joe Biden’s victory.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A day after Mexico angered U.S. officials by publishing an entire 751-page U.S. case file against a former defense secretary, the Mexican prosecutors who exonerated him released their own version. But so many pages are wholly blacked out it ‘s almost impossible to tell what they found. The report released Sunday includes a 226-page stretch with every page blacked out, followed shortly thereafter by a 275-page stretch of blacked-out pages. The officials appeared to be struggling to control the damage to the reputation of the justice system after prosecutors took just five days to completely absolve retired Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos of U.S. allegations he aided drug traffickers.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania’s prime minister has been among the first in his country to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, receiving a dose donated by an undisclosed European Union member country. Edi Rama on Monday said he was “not authorized” to say which EU country had provided the 975 doses. He repeated the complaint made by several nations that the bloc left aside Western Balkan countries in its vaccination program. The government has contracted directly with Pfizer to buy 500,000 doses, which are due to start arriving next week. Albania has had 1,241 virus-related deaths and 63,595 confirmed cases as of Sunday, according to the Health Ministry.

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who falsely accused a Black teenager of stealing her phone and then tackled him at a New York City hotel has been arrested in her home state of California. Booking documents show that Miya Ponsetto was jailed Thursday in Ventura County. The New York Police Department flew detectives out to speak with Ponsetto earlier Thursday. That followed days of intense media coverage of the fracas at the hotel and demands by the teen’s family that she face criminal charges. Ponsetto’s lawyer says her client is “emotionally unwell” and remorseful over the Dec. 26 conflict with 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. at Manhattan’s Arlo Hotel.

"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s new governor says he will reopen beaches, marinas and pools, eliminate a Sunday lockdown and shorten a curfew that has been in place since the pandemic began to control the number of COVID-19 cases. Gov. Pedro Pierluisi stressed on Tuesday that alcohol will be banned at beaches and other places, and that social distancing is required between people who are not family members, with no large groups allowed to gather. Meanwhile, the new curfew will run from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. and face masks remain mandatory.He said the new executive order will be in place for 30 days but can be amended any time.",

BERLIN (AP) — The coronavirus pandemic is colliding with politics as Germany embarks on its vaccination drive and one of the most unpredictable election years in the country’s post-World War II history. After months of relatively harmonious pandemic management, fingers are being pointed as the center-left junior partner in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government takes aim at what it says has been a chaotic start to vaccinating the population. The discord is likely a sign of the times to come as Merkel prepares to step down and possible successors jockey ahead of Germany’s federal election in September. Merkel has led Germany since 2005, and the country’s voters will help set the tone for Europe with their choices.

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s competition watchdog has launched an investigation into Google’s plan to overhaul its ad data system over worries it could leave even less room for rivals in the online ad industry. The Competition and Markets Authority said it opened a formal investigation into Google’s proposals to remove so-called third-party cookies from its popular Chrome browser and Chromium browser engine. Google has proposed replacing third-party cookies with its own tools, as part of a “digital sandbox” set to be rolled out in 2022. But the watchdog said the changes could hurt publishers’ ability to make money as well as undermine digital ad competition, entrenching Google’s market power.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Holocaust survivors will commemorate their lost loved ones and world leaders will issue pleas for tolerance on Wednesday as the world marks the 76th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Nazi German extermination camp is the most notorious of the death camp’s operated by Adolf Hitler’s regime during World War II to carry out the planned destruction of Jews and the mass murder of many others, including Roma and Poles. The coronavirus pandemic means that International Holocaust Remembrance Day events have moved online for the first time, but what remains unchanged is the drive of survivors to tell their stories and deliver the message of “Never again.”

LONDON (AP) — Britain has abolished the so-called “tampon tax.” The move to eliminate sales taxes on women’s sanitary products was widely praised by women’s rights campaigners as well as proponents of the country’s departure from the European Union. Treasury chief Rishi Sunak had committed to ending the widely unpopular tax on tampons and pads in his budget statement in March but the change could only come into effect on Friday after Britain had finally left the economic orbit of the EU. EU law had prevented member states from reducing the rate of value-added tax below 5%.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cicely Tyson, the pioneering Black actor who gained an Oscar nomination for her role as the sharecropper’s wife in “Sounder,” won a Tony Award in 2013 at age 88 and touched TV viewers’ hearts in “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman,” has died. She was 96. A onetime model, Tyson began her screen career with bit parts but gained fame in the early 1970s when Black women were finally starting to get starring roles. Besides her Oscar nomination, she won two Emmys for playing the 110-year-old former slave in the 1974 television drama “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.”

BERLIN (AP) — Germany, France and Britain are pressing Iran to back off the latest planned violation of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. The three countries said Saturday that Tehran has “no credible civilian use” for uranium metal. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday Iran had informed it that it had begun installing equipment for the production of uranium metal. It said Tehran maintains its plans to conduct research and development on uranium metal production are part of its “declared aim to design an improved type of fuel.” Uranium metal can also be used for a nuclear bomb, however, and research on its production is specifically prohibited under the nuclear deal.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The economy continues improving in nine Midwest and Plains states but business leaders are less optimistic after the latest surge in coronavirus cases in the region, according to a new monthly survey released Monday. The overall index for the region suggests strong growth even though it dipped to 64.1 in December from November’s 69. Any score above 50 on the survey’s indexes suggests growth, while a score below 50 suggests recession. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, said the survey’s confidence index suggests business leaders are worried about the economy after the recent growth in virus cases across the region.

Recovering alcoholic opens sober living home in Eau Claire

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- Alcohol took over Lydia Bethmann's life at a young age.
"So much of growing up in the culture was focused on drinking, it was the center of everything," Bethmann said. "My drinking would often get out of control, I had run-ins with the law, and my life just became really unmanageable. It was dangerous and unhealthy."
Bethmann eventually asked for help from a treatment center, and from there she moved to a sober living home in St. Paul, at the time the closest one to the Chippewa Valley.
"It was terrifying going into this new home in a new big city with people that I'd never met," Bethmann said. "But I just started developing some close friendships with other women who had been through the same struggle that I'd been through."
Now almost five years later, Bethmann opened her own sober living home, called 'Our Dwelling Place' making it the second one to open in Eau Claire. She recently purchased a home downtown, where she'll host several women in a drug and alcohol free household to help struggling addicts find those similar connections.
"Coming out of a treatment center and just getting thrown back into your life can be difficult," Bethmann said. "By having a sober living home like Our Dwelling Place, it can ease the transition, and it's important that people have a space that they can be comfortable in."
Before July, there were no independent sober living homes in the Chippewa Valley despite local alcohol abuse concerns. In 2019, Eau Claire County ranked 10th worst in the state for chronic alcohol emergency room visits, and 8th for alcohol inpatient visits. According to echorecovery.org, 57% of sober living home tenants are more likely to stay clean long term, and Bethmann's vision is a step towards helping others like her get their lives back on track.
"We have a community that we need to heal," Bethmann said. "Drinking and drug use is a problem everywhere you go, but it's definitely right here in our community."
Tenants who are interested must be 30 days sober before moving in, and will complete a 12-step recovery program. As of today, Bethmann is roughly 4.5 years clean.

California state prison officials said he died Saturday of natural causes at a hospital.

It was yet another cloudy day in western Wisconsin with some light snow early in the day for some. We just picked up a trace in Eau Claire. Clouds still reign supreme Saturday night.
Thankfully there is no Dense Fog Advisory in place for Saturday night, even though there are still some areas of lower visibility.
With clouds and patchy fog in place again Saturday night, temperatures are expected to stay fairly level in the low 20s overnight. Sunday morning will start cloudy, but during the afternoon hours, we do have a chance at seeing some breaks in clouds.
While full sunshine is not expected, we could see clouds break up enough to have a mostly cloudy or even partly cloudy sky at times. This will allow temperatures to be slightly warmer than Saturday's temperatures, with highs in the mid to upper 20s expected.
Not much changes Sunday night into Monday, and the week starts with a cloudy to mostly cloudy sky and the chance for patchy fog. Again, there could be a few breaks of sun on Monday, but do not expect an abundantly bright and sunny day.
The next system we are keeping an eye on is for the Thursday into Friday timeframe. Aside from that, expect slightly above average temperatures through the first half of the week before that system brings cooler temperatures.

WHO team arrives in Wuhan to investigate pandemic origins

WUHAN, China (AP) — A global team of researchers has arrived in the Chinese city where the coronavirus pandemic was first detected to investigate its origins amid uncertainty about whether Beijing might try to prevent embarrassing discoveries. The 10-member team sent to Wuhan by the World Health Organization was approved by President Xi Jinping’s government after months of diplomatic wrangling that prompted an unusual public complaint by the head of the WHO. Scientists suspect the virus that has killed 1.9 million people since late 2019 jumped to humans from bats or other animals. Beijing, stung by accusations it allowed the disease to spread, says the virus came from abroad, but foreign scientists say that is unlikely.

NAACP calls decision not to charge Kenosha officer 'shameful and disgusting'
| null | null |

KENOSHA, Wis. (WQOW) - The head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is not mincing words about the Kenosha County DA's decision not to charge officers for shooting a Black man.
Jacob Blake was left paralyzed after being shot seven times in the back on Aug. 23 by Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey, who had responded to a call at the scene.
On Tuesday, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced there will be no criminal charges brought against any of the officers in the case.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson called Graveley's decision "shameful and disgusting."
“An unarmed Black man was sprayed with bullets by police. His children were watching. And once paralyzed by the gunshots, he was left handcuffed to a hospital bed. What are we supposed to tell our children tonight, who feel unsafe every single day. Today’s announcement from Kenosha is shameful and disgusting, and only proves how much work still needs to be done. This is far too familiar to the Black community. Jacob Blake’s life matters. Black Lives Matter.” Derrick Johnson, NAACP president
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers also released a statement saying elected officials did not take action.
“Over the past year, our state and country have witnessed a movement—one that echoes hundreds of years of movements that have come before it, demanding justice, equity, and peace for Black lives. What is just as clear today as it has been is we have failed to deliver on these promises, both as a state and as a country. Jacob Blake’s life has forever been changed and his kids witnessed violence no kid should ever see, experienced trauma no kid should ever endure, all while the world watched. And yet, when presented the opportunity to rise to this moment and this movement and take action to provide meaningful, commonsense reform to enhance accountability and promote transparency in policing in our state, elected officials took no action. Today’s decision is further evidence that our work is not done—we must work each day in earnest toward a more just, more fair, and more equitable state and country, and to combat the racism experienced by Black Wisconsinites. I hope for peace and justice for Jacob, his family, and the entire Kenosha community. I reaffirm my commitment to action to build a more just, more equitable state for every Wisconsinite. And I ask those who will exercise their right to assemble tonight and in the days ahead to please do so peacefully and safely.” Gov. Tony Evers (D-Wisconsin)
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump tweeted his displeasure with the announcement.
BREAKING: Kenosha DA Michael Gravely will NOT charge the officers involved in the August shooting of Jacob Blake. We are immensely disappointed and feel this decision failed not only Jacob and his family but the community that protested and demanded justice. — Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) January 5, 2021
We will continue to press forward with our own investigation and fight for systemic change in policing and transparency at all levels. We urge Americans to continue to raise their voices and demand change in peaceful and positive ways during this emotional time. — Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) January 5, 2021
Editor's Note: This story has been corrected from a previous version which says Blake was unarmed.

THULASENDRAPURAM, India (AP) — A tiny, lush-green Indian village surrounded by rice paddy fields is beaming with joy hours before its descendant, Kamala Harris, takes her oath of office and becomes the U.S. vice president. Harris is set to make history as the first woman, first woman of color and first person of South Asian descent to hold the vice presidency. People are jubilant in her maternal grandfather’s hometown, about 215 miles from the southern coastal city of Chennai. A local teacher said people “are feeling very proud” that an Indian was elected as U.S. vice president. Harris’ grandfather left the village for Chennai decades ago. Her mother was born in India before going to study in the U.S., marrying and having a family.

BEIJING (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange says it no longer plans to remove shares of three Chinese state-owned phone carriers under an order by President Donald Trump. The exchange cited “further consultation” with U.S. regulators but gave no other details of its decision. The NYSE announced plans to remove China Telecom Corp. Ltd., China Mobile Ltd. and China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. after Trump’s order in November barring Americans from investing in securities issued by companies deemed to be linked to the Chinese military. The Chinese government has accused Washington of misusing national security as an excuse to hamper competition.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s secretary of state has certified the results of the two U.S. Senate runoff elections. Tuesday’s action paves the way for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to be sworn in, giving Democrats control of the chamber. They’ll take office just as the Senate considers whether to convict President Donald Trump in an impeachment trial for inciting the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol. The certification by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger officially seals Warnock and Ossoff’s victories. They defeated Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in the Jan. 5 runoffs. Both Loeffler and Perdue conceded days after the election.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Congress prepares to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, thousands of people have lined up before sunrise Wednesday to show their support for President Donald Trump and his baseless claims of election fraud. The president is expected to address rally on the Ellipse, just south of the White House. Trump’s remarks will come just hours before members of the House and Senate gather at the Capitol to accept the vote of the Electoral College. On Tuesday, protesters gathered in Freedom Plaza near the White House in opposition to the electoral vote. The pro-Trump rallies have local officials and law enforcement bracing for potential violent street clashes.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — The Trump administration has carried out its 13th and final federal execution, five days before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. The execution Friday of Dustin Higgs concludes an unprecedented run of executions since July, when Trump resumed the federal death penalty after a 17-year hiatus. Biden has signaled he’ll end federal executions. The 48-year-old Higgs was convicted in the killings of three women in a Maryland wildlife refuge. He was the third inmate to receive a lethal injection this week at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. A December clemency petition for Higgs said he had been a model prisoner and was dedicated father to a son born shortly after his arrest.

Just two weeks ago, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy declared then-President Donald Trump culpable in the attack on the nation’s Capitol as Washington leaders recoiled from the violence. But by Thursday, McCarthy was meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring of a man who remains the undisputed leader of the Republican Party, despite having left office in disgrace. Trump’s expected status as a GOP kingmaker post-presidency had seemed like an impossibility after his supporters stormed the Capitol building in a deadly riot. But following an initial wave of condemnation — and a bipartisan impeachment — the tide in the Republican Party appears to have already turned.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are pulling lower again on Friday after reports showed the pandemic is deepening the hole for the economy, as Washington prepares to throw it another lifeline. The S&P 500 was down 0.8% in early trading, with stocks of companies that most need a healthier economy taking the sharpest losses. President-elect Joe Biden unveiled details of his $1.9 trillion plan to prop up the economy. But markets had already rallied big on expectations of such a proposal. A report also showed sales at retailers sank by 0.7% in December, a crucial month for the industry.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A state committee looking into COVID-19 shots says it might open vaccinations to people 70 and older and limited groups of essential workers once most health care workers and nursing home residents are immunized Members of a state vaccine committee have agreed on slight departures from federal guidelines, which call for moving next to ages 75 and older and more types of essential workers. However, some disagreed on whether to add group home residents and prison and jail inmates. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that a vaccine distribution subcommittee that advises the state Department of Health Services may vote Tuesday on a plan for phase 1b, the next stage of vaccination.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi owner of pharmacies and pharmacy distributors has been sentenced to 18 years in prison and ordered to repay more than $287 million for his part in what prosecutors described as a $510 million health care fraud. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for southern Mississippi says 54-year-old Wade Ashley Walters of Hattiesburg also was ordered to forfeit more than $56 million that he personally gained from the scheme involving high-priced pain cream. Walters had pleaded guilty in July to one count each of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. His sentencing was held Friday.

The two Georgia runoffs that will determine control of the Senate have kept President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden in campaign mode and run up a half-billion-dollar tab in the process. The money matches the stakes: Either Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff will sweep, giving Democrats both chambers of Congress and the executive branch, or Republicans will pick up at least one victory from Sen. Kelly Loeffler or David Perdue to maintain their Senate majority and force Biden to contend with divided government.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden is filling out his State Department team with a group of former career diplomats and veterans of the Obama administration. The nominations and appointments that are being announced Saturday signal Biden’s desire to return to a more traditional foreign policy after four years of uncertainty and unpredictability under Donald Trump. A transition official says Biden will nominate Wendy Sherman as deputy secretary of state and Victoria Nuland as undersecretary of state for political affairs. Those are the second- and third-highest ranking posts in the department.

Trump administration scales back wild bird protections

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Trump administration finalized changes to a century-old law protecting most American wild bird species, despite warnings that billions of birds could die as a result. A U.S. District Court judge in August had blocked the administration’s prior attempt to change how the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is enforced. But urged on by industry groups, the Trump administration has remained adamant that the act has been wielded inappropriately for decades to penalize companies when birds land in oil pits or collide with power lines. More than 1,000 species are covered under the law. Conservationists said they’ll push President-elect Joe Biden to reverse Tuesday’s move by Trump’s Interior Department.

Pelosi wants security money to face 'enemy' within House

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says lawmakers face threats of violence from an “enemy” within Congress and more money is needed to protect them. The California Democrat’s remarks are a startling acknowledgement of how internal tensions over safety have escalated since the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump. Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that Congress should provide more money to protect lawmakers “when the enemy is within the House of Representatives.” Pelosi said she was referring to members of Congress who want to bring guns on the House floor and “have threatened violence on other members of Congress.” She didn’t offer names.
