A 35-year-old woman was killed early Saturday after she jumped out of a moving Uber on the Long Island Expressway in Queens and was struck by a passing vehicle that kept going, police said.

The Uber driver’s gray Volkswagen was heading east along the Long Island Expressway toward the Kissena Blvd. overpass in Kew Gardens at about 1:40 a.m. when the woman, who was seated in the back seat, opened the door and jumped out of the moving rideshare vehicle.

She landed on the asphalt then was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene, cops said.

The woman died at the scene. Her name was not immediately released as cops tracked down family members.

The 45-year-old Uber driver immediately stopped the Volkswagen and remained at the scene. No criminal charges were immediately filed.

Cops blocked off at least one eastbound lane of the LIE as they conducted their investigation.

Biden Authorizes Missile Use, Putin Responds
 
The AMA and Other Organizations Take Action
 
The Biden administration has approved Ukraine's use of American-made long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory, marking an escalation in U.S. support for Ukraine's defense efforts. The move is intended to strengthen Ukraine's ability to respond to ongoing attacks from Russia.



In reaction, Russian President Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear policy to lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons. The new policy allows for potential nuclear responses to non-nuclear attacks on Russia if they involve support from nuclear-armed countries. Putin described this shift as necessary to address increasing Western involvement in the conflict.



While U.S. officials emphasize the goal of supporting Ukraine, Russian leaders have criticized the decision, warning it could intensify the conflict. Many Western nations have also expressed concern about the change in Russia's nuclear threshold, viewing it as an effort to pressure Ukraine and its allies​.

Two undersea communication cables have been severed, disrupting vital connections between Finland and Germany as well as Lithuania and Sweden. These fiber optic cables play a critical role in global communications, transmitting approximately 99% of international data, while satellites account for only about 1%. The cause of the damage and the parties responsible remain unclear at this stage. However, several countries, including Germany and Poland, have suggested the possibility of sabotage. In response, the Swedish Prosecution Authority has initiated preliminary investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Biden awards highest civilian honor to 'merchant of death' who oversaw nearly 4 million abortions
JOSEPH MACKINNON
NOVEMBER 21, 2024
Biden, who identifies as Catholic, gave the highest civilian honor to the former head of Planned Parenthood.
President Joe Biden, whom Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington deemed a "cafeteria Catholic" on Easter Sunday, has awarded the nation's highest civilian honor to Cecile Richards, a woman who made millions of dollars helping snuff out millions of American lives.

Pro-life critics have suggested a society that valued life would arrest, not award, Richards.

"With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom," wrote Biden. "Through her work to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women's reproductive rights and equality, and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote, she has carved an inspiring legacy."

'We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver.'

According to the White House, the award is "presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public, or private endeavors."

Richards, the daughter of the late Democratic Texas Gov. Ann Richards and a former deputy chief of staff for Nancy Pelosi, served from 2006 to 2018 as president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America — an organization founded by the infamous eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who stressed the need to "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization, and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."

The abortion tallies in Planned Parenthood's annual reports indicate that under Richards' leadership, the organization slaughtered over 3.87 million babies. In her final year, when the organization killed 332,757 babies, Richards' salary was $1,033,274, having fallen short of seven figures the previous fiscal year by roughly $42,000.

The organization under Richards reportedly created the super PAC Planned Parenthood Votes and expanded its lobbying arm, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, lining the coffers of Democratic lawmakers on the one hand and pushing for increased access and federal funding to abortion services on the other.

Leftists have also credited Richards with seeing the organization through the scandal that arose over pro-life citizen journalist and Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden's undercover videos in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood officials callously talking about butchering, playing with, and trafficking baby parts.

The CMP posted a video on July 14, 2015, showing a senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, Deborah Nucatola, state matter-of-factly over wine and lunch, "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that 'I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact.'"

"I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps," continued Nucatola. "The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium — the head — is basically the biggest part."

Richards stressed in the aftermath of the video's release, "Our donation programs — like any other high-quality health care providers' — follow all laws and ethical guidelines," reported the New York Times.

After 12 years making money off death and sterilizations, Richards co-founded Supermajority, a leftist female-led PAC that quickly netted millions of dollars from George Soros.

Richards was diagnosed in 2023 with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain tumor with an average survival time of just over a year.

'Scary place to be.'

"Cecile Richards presided over the abortions of 3.9 million babies as president of Planned Parenthood," tweeted Live Action president Lila Rose. "She belongs in jail. Not in the White House receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"She is literally a merchant of death," wrote Dan McLaughlin of National Review. "Hard to think of a living person who has killed more Americans."

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro noted, "Her legacy is millions of dead unborn children."

'This honor marks a dark chapter in the late stages of one of the darkest presidencies in American history.'

Kristan Hawkins, presidents of Students for Life, tweeted that with Richards at the helm, some of Planned Parenthood's victims' bodies were "dissected and sold to the highest bidder. Planned Parenthood representatives haggled over prices for livers and brains. Planned Parenthood’s abortions skyrocketed under Richards even as the organization’s number of total clients plummeted year after year. Cecile Richards is anything but honorable. What a disgrace."

Pro-Life Wisconsin pointed out that "ironically, the babies aborted under Cecile Richards' watch will never have freedom. Their rights were stripped as they were killed in ... what should have been the greatest place of safety — their mother's womb."

Edward Feser, a Catholic professor of philosophy at Pasadena City College, suggested Biden conferring the medal upon Richards showed his true colors: "The 'personally opposed, but …' Catholic Democrat line on abortion was always rank dishonesty, but to commend a ghoul like this is to drop even pretense. Biden's effectively using the last days of whatever cognitive clarity he has left to destroy his conscience. Scary place to be."

Blaze News previously reported that Cardinal Raymond Burke, a canon lawyer and former prefect of the Catholic Church's highest court, said in 2020 that Biden "is not a Catholic in good standing and he should not approach to receive Holy Communion."

"This is not a political statement," continued Burke. "I don't intend to get involved in recommending any candidate for office, but simply to state that a Catholic may not support abortion in any shape or form because it is one of the most grievous sins against human life and has always been considered to be intrinsically evil and therefore to in any way support act is a mortal sin."

Biden reiterated that he is a "practicing Catholic."

"This honor marks a dark chapter in the late stages of one of the darkest presidencies in American history when it comes to protecting mothers and unborn children," Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote, told the Washington Times. "Planned Parenthood has used billions of taxpayer dollars to profit from the tragic extermination of millions of children, while exploiting the health and well-being of countless women."

Scam of the day – November 20, 2024 – Chase Phishing Email

By Steven Weisman, Esq. on November 19, 2024

Phishing emails, by which scammers and identity thieves attempt to lure you into either clicking on links contained within the email which download malware or providing personal information that will be used to make you a victim of identity theft, are nothing new. They are a staple of identity thieves and scammers and with good reason because they work. Reproduced below is a copy of a new phishing email presently circulating that appears to come from Chase bank. It was forwarded to me by a Scamicide reader.

Chase is a popular target for this type of phishing email because it is one of the largest banks in the United States. Like so many phishing emails, this one attempts to lure you into responding by making you think there is an emergency to which you must respond. As phishing emails go, this one is pretty good. It looks legitimate and the version appearing in your email comes with a legitimate appearing Chase logo. As so often is the case with these type of phishing emails, it does not contain your account number in the email nor is it personally addressed to the receiver of the email, but merely uses your email address.

Here is a copy of the Chase phishing email presently being circulated.

From: "Customer Service" <contact@usacoinbook.com>
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sent: Sun, Nov 17, 2024 at 4:19 PM
Subject: Chase: Access is Blocked ID #54139


Activity Verification Alert

For your security, your access to online banking has been locked and you need to verify your identity immediately.

Your access has been locked because you have exceeded the number of invalid sign-in attempts. If you do not make these attempts, we have secured your access as a security precaution.

TIPS

There are a number of indications that this is not a legitimate email from Chase, but instead is a phishing email. Most notably, the email address from which this phishing email was sent has no relation to Chase. It is also important to note that although the email contained a legitimate appearing Chase logo, such logos are very easy to counterfeit. In addition, the grammar in the second paragraph is faulty and the link which should read "Verify Your Account" reads "Verified Your Account."

As with all phishing emails, two things can happen if you click on the links provided. Either you will be sent to a legitimate looking, but phony website where you will be prompted to input personal information that will be used to make you a victim of identity theft or, even worse, merely by clicking on the link, you may download keystroke logging malware that will steal all of your personal information from your computer or cellphone and use it to make you a victim of identity theft.

If you receive an email like this and think it may possibly be legitimate, merely call the customer service number where you can confirm that it is a scam, but make sure that you dial the telephone number correctly because scammers have been known to buy phone numbers that are just a digit off of the legitimate numbers for financial companies, such as Chase to trap you if you make a mistake in dialing the real number. Alternatively you can go to http://www.chase.com to check on your account.

I have disarmed section of the phishing email where it asks you to click on "Verified Your Account."

When is Thanksgiving 2024? It occurs on a later November date this year. Here's why
Alex Perry
Cincinnati Enquirer






Thanksgiving, one of the major national holidays, is a time that involves a number of traditions: family gatherings, indulging in a large meal (usually turkey and sides; sometimes a DiGiorno Thanksgiving pizza), snagging Black Friday deals, or watching football and the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Every year, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November, but this year the holiday occurs much later than in years past. Here's what to know about this year's Turkey Day.

What day is Thanksgiving 2024?
Thanksgiving takes place on Nov. 28, 2024. Last year, the holiday was celebrated on Nov. 23, and it was on Nov. 24 in 2022.

Why is Thanksgiving late this year?
Thanksgiving is on its latest possible date in 2024, according to NBC Chicago. The holiday always occurs on the fourth Thursday of November, but the dates can differ based on leap years. We had a leap year in 2024.

A Nov. 28 Thanksgiving happens roughly every five-to-six years, meaning that the next time we'll see a Thanksgiving on Nov. 28 will be in 2030 (another year when Halloween is on a Thursday and Nov. 1 is a Friday).

The earliest date Thanksgiving could occur would be on Nov. 22, according to NBC Chicago. The last time this happened was 2018, but it won't happen again until 2029.

Remaining holidays in 2024
Thursday, Oct. 31: Halloween
Tuesday, Nov. 5: Election Day
Monday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day
Thursday, Nov. 28: Thanksgiving Day
Tuesday, Dec. 24: Christmas Eve
Wednesday, Dec. 25: Christmas Day
Tuesday, Dec. 31: New Year's Eve
