Maryland Man Arrested For Threatening To Kill Senators Joe Biden And Kamala Harris

tmpfb251beb-6578-4e0d-86cd-268cd78d4638-jpg

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that a Maryland man faces federal charges for allegedly threatening violence against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris and their supporters. James Dale Reed, 42, of Frederick, Md., faces one count of threats against a major candidate for president and vice president.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Maryland say that Reed left a letter threatening Biden and Harris on the doorstep of a fellow Frederick resident Oct. 4. The resident, who had signs supporting Biden in their yard, said they didn’t know the suspect but caught them leaving the letter with a surveillance camera. The letter threatened the two politicians as well as their supporters. The letter threatened to capture and beat Biden, and rape Harris before executing both on national television.

Investigators said they identified Reed based on the camera footage and a citizen tip. They said he initially denied writing the letter, but later confessed and was arrested.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar Says Coronavius Vaccines “Could Be” Available By Year’s End

tmp180efd4e-de26-4d96-9121-0f0ae59fd62e-jpg

One or more COVID-19 vaccines could be ready before the end of 2020, based on the progress of ongoing clinical trials. Dr. Jay Butler, the deputy director for infectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reports during a news conference on Wednesday that “we’re cautiously optimistic that vaccines will be available, although in limited quantities, before the end of 2020.”  

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said he estimates that there would be enough vaccine doses for all senior citizens, health care workers and first responders by the end of January, and for all Americans who want them by late March or early April. “There is hope on the way in the form of safe and effective vaccines in a matter of weeks or months,” Azar said. The federal government is currently manufacturing six potential vaccines through a program named Operation Warp Speed. The plan is to be able to begin distributing vaccines the moment they’ve been cleared for use by the Food and Drug Administration.  

However, leaders from federal health agencies coordinating the distribution of future vaccines warned it’s still vital for Americans to follow health precautions, saying that the coronavirus pandemic is still the most serious public health crisis the U.S. has faced in more than a century. Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, noted that the number of COVID-19 cases around the world passed 40 million this week and that new cases are rising again across the U.S.

Pat Chambers Resigns As Penn State Basketball Coach After Internal Investigation

tmp3d8a30e5-0db7-4f2a-b948-74b46fb23086-jpg

Penn State men’s basketball coach Pat Chambers is stepping down from his position, the school announced Wednesday. Assistant coach Jim Ferry will serve as the interim coach for the 2020–21 season, which will kick off in just about a month. Chambers, 49, has spent the last nine seasons at Penn State, leading the Nittany Lions to a 21–10 overall record and 11–9 Big Ten record.

In July, former Penn State guard Rasir Bolton said on Twitter that the reason he decided to leave Penn State was because of a comment made by Chambers that referenced “a noose around my neck.” Bolton said that in January 2019, Chambers said in a meeting, “I need to get some of this pressure off you. I want to loosen the noose that’s around your neck.” 

Chambers’s resignation comes after Penn State conducted an internal investigation of the coach. After Bolton’s comments, Chambers issued a statement apologizing for his choice of words. After Penn State announced Chambers’s departure, he issued a statement saying he would be taking a “step back” from coaching while thanking the Penn State community.

Bronze Statue of Loretta Lynn Unveiled at Ryman Auditorium

tmp80c0f519-e7d4-4f2a-bef0-a5c0a16e19a8-jpg

A bronze statue of Loretta Lynn was unveiled outside Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium as part on the Ryman’s Icon Walk, which recognizes legends who have paved the way for Nashville performers. 

Loretta in a press release: “I will never forget the morning Dolittle and I pulled in and parked in front of the Ryman Auditorium for the very first time. It was 1960 and I had a No. 14 record on the charts called ‘I’m A Honky Tonk Girl.’ My dream, like thousands of other singers, was just to sing on the Grand Ole Opry. Being a member of the Grand Ole Opry has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For many years I’ve stood on the stage of the Ryman and there’s no place like it. Now they’re unveiling this statue in my honor. It’s like I’m going to get to be there for many more years to come. It means so much to have the statue and to be a part of all of these wonderful artists. One day soon I’m gonna get to come up there and see it for myself. But for today I want to say thank you and I love each and every one of you for thinking of me.”

Loretta celebrated her 88th birthday in April and is one of the most decorated artists of all time, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, as well as receiving the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award, Kennedy Center Honors, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and more.
