Asylum Seekers, Migrants Headed For Another Hotel In Region
With less than 24 hours notice, a county in the region was notified that 80 migrants and asylum seekers would be dropped off at an area hotel. The drop-off will take place in Sullivan County at the Knights Inn in Liberty on Thursday, May 18. Sullivan County Legislative Chairman Robert A. Doherty said the county was notified of the transfer of migrants from New York City to Liberty. "The way the City, New York state, and the federal government are approaching this issue is reckless and unsustainable, as many county leaders have said across the state," said Doherty.

Here's What Group Of People Will Get A Federal Stimulus Check In 2022
It is unlikely that the federal government will distribute a fresh round of stimulus checks to most Americans again, but some will qualify for some financial assistance in 2022. During the COVID-19 outbreak, eligible Americans received as many as three stimulus checks to help them ride out the pandemic, though a fourth is unlikely, outside of a specific group. Parents who gave birth to a child in 2021 will be eligible for a 2022 stimulus check of up to $1,400, similar to the third round that was issued in March. Eligible new parents who inform the IRS they had a baby — or babies — when th…

One in five Americans believes the federal government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population, according to a recent poll. The sharpest divisions between pro- and anti-vaxxers in America, to few people's surprise, are political, the Economist/YouGov poll found. Nearly 30% of Republican poll respondents – and only 4% of Democrats -- said they aren’t getting vaccinated. More whites than Black and Hispanic respondents in the Economist/You Gov poll said they reject the vaccine, while more Midwesterners and Southerners came out against vaccination than elsewhere in the country…
