As Donald Trump’s tenure as president of the United States came to a close, the leaders of pro-life groups praised his efforts on behalf of the anti-abortion movement, specifically during the waning days of his administration.
“From the first day to the last, the Trump-Pence administration has prioritized the protection of innocent human life setting the standard for future pro-life administrations,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List in a statement on Tuesday.
Bluefield Daily Telegraph on federal funding that was approved for a flood prevention project in West Virginia’s Mercer County:
Federal funding has been secured for a significant flood control project for Mercer County. The $3.7 million award announced last week by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will help restore damage done to a flood control dam constructed back in 1966 in Mercer County.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding was authorized by the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. The goal of the project is to rehabilitate the area identified as Brush Creek Site 14 of the Brush Creek Watershed in Mercer County, effectively protecting hundreds of homes, businesses, and buildings in the Maple Acres, Glenwood, and Princeton areas from future flooding, Capito and Manchin said in a joint statement.
Federal officials told Brown and Oregon Health Director Pat Allen that there had been a miscommunication.
Actually, no additional vaccine at all would be on its way. I thought I was losing my mind, Allen said, I went back and reviewed the actual C-SPAN video of Secretary Azar, and the words he used were releasing the entire supply. He talked about physical inventory. It was incredibly clear.
In response, Brown on Jan. 15 said the state would have to revise its priority list for the second time in one week.
The new rollout also underlined an already controversial decision by the governor to place teachers and staff above the elderly on the priority list.
