Covid-
19 Vaccine To Microchip Citizens
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…

Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race
An interactive, incredibly detailed map of how neighborhoods voted in the 2020 presidential election has been released.

If Democrats Wrest Control Of US Senate, NJ's Menendez Lands Key Leadership Post
When the dust settles, and the fate of the U.S. Senate majority is decided, New Jersey's senior senator could land one of the top leadership posts. But it's likely to take days -- or even weeks -- to know the outcome as Senate races in Georgia and North Carolina remained too close to call on Wednesday.
