Parents who want to escape their families are understandably willing to shell out big bucks for the respite after a year in close quarters. During the Indoor Times, family members have been pushed together for longer than most people normally can tolerate, and everyone wants a break.

The P.1 coronavirus variant first identified in Brazil may be twice as transmissible as earlier strains and may evade up to nearly half of immune defenses built during previous infections, a new study suggests.

Gibbons, like Trump and Moreno, is a businessman, not a politician, a status he wields in the opening seconds of an introductory video, (above). He is the managing director of a private investment firm located in downtown Cleveland and calls himself blunt, plain spoken and someone who [tells] it like it is.
