‘Nebraska did a good job': Boston College's Bill O'Brien lauds NU’s red zone defense
President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks have been mostly great so far, but Trump has a history of making bad choices. One of those bad choices, according to conservatives, is Trump's nominee for Surgeon General. No, it's not Ben Carson ... it's Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, whose resume during the COVID-19 lockdowns isn't stellar. Why? Here's Nesheiwat on Fox Business praising Facebook's approach to censoring anti-vaccine "disinformation" and hoping that other social media platforms would follow suit. Trump's pick for Surgeon General, Janette Nesheiwat, praised Facebook for censoring anti-vaccine information, adding that she will "hope and pray" other social media companies do the same. pic.twitter.com/Zqpz6ktLWs Nesheiwat was also a BIG fan of masking and social distancing. Janette Nesheiwat endorsed masks for children, promoted COVID vaccination for all age groups, and approved of censorship by social media companies. pic.twitter.com/8UHq7B4YLk Look, there's a lot we didn't know about COVID. But we know it now, so why regress? This is like when former Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen told CNN in December of 2021 that "cloth masks a little more than facial decoration" and don't work — after we'd all been forced to wear cloth masks. Or when President Joe Biden promised you wouldn't contract or spread COVID if you got the vaccine. Then Biden got COVID at least twice despite double-masking and getting every booster available. But no, we don't want anyone who praised social media for censoring discussion of the vaccine and its effectiveness. Trump's pick for Surgeon General, Janette Nesheiwat, praised Facebook for censoring anti-vaccine information & accounts like mine and RFK’s specifically, adding that she will "hope and pray" other social media companies do the same. Pick someone else🙏 pic.twitter.com/r2gEekxwm9 I don't want her anywhere near health policy This is totally unacceptable Disastrous pick. What is DJT doing? I will contact everyone I can to prevent her confirmation. Let's hope she has revised her stance on these things in light of all the new information that has come out since the time of this interview. She allegedly has ... but to praise Facebook's censorship efforts? That's hard to forgive. This really is a pretty bad pick. Don't know who was pushing this with Trump but they should be fired. Hard to find a worse pick for this position. So disappointing. Pull this nomination back immediately! Absolute garbage pick. I can't - no sane person said this or believed it - she can't be anywhere near health. She's as bad as Fauci. Here's co-founder of "far-right terrorist organization" Moms for Liberty, Tiffany Justice: Never again. Masks are not source control. They do not stop transmission. Masks harmed our children and we will NEVER allow this to happen again. Unacceptable choice for Surgeon General. So disappointing. https://t.co/fDjbQDRK01 To be clear, I have met Janette and she couldn’t have been nicer. She has been very loyal to President Trump which is wonderful and incredibly important. The problem is her position on the forced masking of children. So many children have been hurt. Parents won’t forget that. There were many other more qualified physicians who could have been appointed to this role. A lot of people in the replies favor Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who was handpicked by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the country's best governor. So Nesheiwat was a clueless as everyone else during the pandemic, but word is that she's changed? But why her when there are so many other options? ***

T he political moment with potentially the most far-reaching implications for British taxpayers came on Monday — not in Westminster or Washington but in Mauritius. Navin Ramgoolam, the new prime minister of the Indian Ocean island, informed the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, that his government did not accept the agreement, signed by his predecessor on October 3, in which Britain committed itself to handing sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. As part of the deal, the UK has been granted a 99-year lease on Diego Garcia, the largest island and home of a strategically vital US airbase. “We have made a counter proposal,” Ramgoolam informed his MPs after the call. His deputy, Paul Bérenger was blunter: “They are nitpicking about the compensation to

PUB: 12/19/2024 06:56 PM/DISC: 12/19/2024 06:55 PMFour in 10 rectification orders issued by the Building Commission to builders of standalone houses were not complied with inside the mandated period, amid warnings of widespread defects across greenfield construction in Sydney’s southwest. Data obtained by the Herald under NSW freedom of information laws provides a snapshot of the Building Commission’s first-year foray into regulating the construction of residential standalone houses, known as class-one buildings, after new powers legislated in late 2023 boosted the scope and funding of the agency beyond apartments. Homes with defective work are often not being rectified in an acceptable time frame. Credit: Jessica Hromas Cowboy home builders operating in tough financial conditions have forced the commission to suspend and cancel a spate of licences after defects were found across dozens of sites. Rectification orders are issued where building work is non-compliant as a means of remediating the problem before it becomes a serious defect. The data comes at a time the state needs to build 378,000 homes by July 2029. Premier Chris Minns has previously insisted the eye-watering quantity required will not come at the cost of quality, with the building commission empowered to try to prevent a repeat of the Mascot and Opal Towers debacle . Figures provided by the Department of Customer Service show 3339 complaints were received in relation to standalone houses between January 1 and October 8 this year, resulting in 897 inspections. Of those, the commission issued 319 rectification orders, and 126 were not complied with inside the designated period. The new building commissioner, James Sherrard, told the Herald that he did not believe the proportion of rectification orders disobeyed represented a compliance problem for the regulator. New building commissioner James Sherrard does not believe the number of rectification orders ignored represents a compliance problem Credit: Janie Barrett “I don’t believe we do. I mean, you can look at statistics a number of different ways. One in three have already been complied with, I think that is a better way of saying. Some won’t be complied with because the builder has gone under, or some such thing like that,” he said. Sherrard said “a lot of” rectification orders could not be complied with until the project was complete. “So the order is effective in ensuring that we have a solution to the problem, albeit that the strict time frame of the order is there to ensure that we get that adherence,” he said. The Building Commission had also slapped 216 home building licenses with conditions in the first 10 months of the year, limiting their work to apartments. Aggrieved clients of builders have previously questioned the effectiveness of Building Commission-issued rectification orders, finding there was little consequence for builders who defied the compliance measures unless there was a commitment to pursue them legally. Home owners and building commission sources said, in some cases, the cost of defying rectification orders had been baked into the costs for builders, who preferred to be fined and then gamble that financially stressed clients would not have the means to seek remedy through the courts. “Builders would ask if they could pay fines on Amex,” a building commission inspector told this masthead on the condition of anonymity. The source estimated that 75 per cent of houses being constructed would have at least 10 defects, including major issues such as waterproofing or structural issues, pointing to poor education of tradespeople as the driving force behind defects. Chandler has been heartbroken by the state of some of the buildings he has investigated. Credit: Kate Geraghty In August, former building commissioner David Chandler told the Illawarra Mercury there was a “deep denial about the quality of home construction”. Inspections of class-one buildings since last December showed there was “widespread, statewide non-compliant construction going on”. Grahame McCulloch, a third-party building inspector who worked with a number of customers of Punjabi film producer turned home builder Sippy Grewal, said the amount of defective building work was “very, very widespread” in the parts of Sydney’s south-western greenfield fringe where he operated. McCulloch attributed the shoddy workmanship to accelerated learning pathways for tradespeople, leaving a broader pool of underqualified workers to choose from.
