Jeff Bezos is stepping down from his position as chief executive of Amazon.

The company said Tuesday afternoon that Bezos “will transition to the role of Executive Chair in the third quarter of 2021 and Andy Jassy will become Chief Executive Officer at that time.”

“Amazon is what it is because of invention. We do crazy things together and then make them normal,” Bezos sound in the company’s announcement.

Bezos continued:

“If you do it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. That yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive. When you look at our financial results, what you’re actually seeing are the long-run cumulative results of invention. Right now I see Amazon at its most inventive ever, making it an optimal time for this transition.”

Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 as an online bookseller. The company went public in 1997 at $18 a share with a market capitalization of $438 million. On the first day of trading, shares climbed as high as $30 and closed at $23.50. Last year, the company’s market cap passed $1 trillion for the first time and it is now worth $1.7 trillion. Ten thousand dollars invested in the company in 1997 would be worth around $16.8 million today.

That rise, however, did not come smoothly. In those early years, the company’s shares gyrated wildly. At the height of the dot com bubble of the late 1990s, Amazon’s shares rose to $100 a share. Just two years late, in 2001, they fell to $5.51 a share and some were predicting the company would run out of cash.

‘We are not profitable,” Bezos said in 1997. ”We could be. It would be the easiest thing in the world to be profitable. It would also be the dumbest. We are taking what might be profits and reinvesting them in the future of the business. It would literally be the stupidest decision any management team could make to make Amazon.com profitable right now.”

Many Wall Street analysts were skeptical that the company could expand its business beyond books and one analyst predicted it was at risk of failing altogether.

In June of 2000, a 29-year old bond analyst at Lehman Brothers named Ravi Suria issued a report saying Amazon shows the “financial characteristics that have driven innumerable retailers to disaster throughout history.” The share price fell 20 percent on the day the report was released. (An aside: Suria’s career didn’t suffer from this doomsaying. In fact, he was widely celebrated in the press, admired on Wall Street as prescient, and hailed as an “All Star” analyst by Fortune magazine. One year later, he was hired away by Stanley Druckenmiller of Duquesne Capital Management—who had recently left George Soros’ Quantum Fund after taking large losses in tech stocks—where Suria managed a multibillion-dollar investment portfolio.  In 2008, he founded his own hedge fund, Valmiki Capital, which is still going.)

”Look, they’ve shown us that the book business can be a very nice, profitable business online,” Mark J. Rowen, a senior Internet analyst at Prudential Securities, told the New York Times in 2002. ”The only problem is the book, video, music market is limited, and ultimately if Amazon is going to justify its market capitalization, it is going to have to show that other categories are viable on the Internet. So far, they have not shown that sales of other merchandise can grow rapidly and be profitable.”

That summer, Amazon turned in its first profitable quarter, earning $5 million after having lost $2.8 billion since its founding.

Jassy joined the company in 1997. In 2003, he launched Amazon’s highly successful Amazon Web Services unit, which he currently heads.  Just over half of Amazon’s operating income can be attributed to AWS.

The announcement came with the company’s release of fourth quarter results. The company beat Wall Street’s estimates on both sales and profits, with $7.2 billion in net income on revenue of $125.6 billion.

SANCTUARY STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH THE LARGEST POPULATION OF ILLEGALS DEPORTS GAVIN NEWSOM!

 

Gavin Newsom’s Approval Collapses in California to 46%

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s approval rating has collapsed in the Golden State, falling from two-thirds in September to 46% now, according to a new poll reported by Politico on Tuesday.

Politico noted:

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s approval rating has plummeted as the public sours on his pandemic management, according to a new Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll that underscores the viability of a campaign to recall Newsom.

The poll found that just 46 percent of California voters approve of Newsom’s job performance — a sharp decline from the two-thirds who backed him in a September IGS poll. His declining standing tracked with growing public disaffection over Newsom’s handling of the coronavirus: the share of voters who said he is doing an excellent or good job dropped from roughly half in September to about a third, while those who faulted him for doing a poor job leaped from 28 percent to 43 percent.

Fiscally, California is in good shape, with Newsom announcing earlier this year that the state expects a $15 billion surplus.

However, he has faced several recent controversies, including his participation in a dinner at the elite French Laundry restaurant while much of the state was under coronavirus restrictions, and electricity blackouts in the midst of a heat wave.

A recall effort is currently under way, with organizers claiming to have gathered some 80% of the 1.5 million signatures necessary by March 17 to put a recall on the ballot. Both Democrats and Republicans have begun jumping into the race to replace him, with former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, a moderate Republican, formally entering the race this week.

Updates on CCP Virus: California Cases Starting to Slip, Deaths Remain High

 
January 31, 2021 Updated: January 31, 2021

California on Sunday reported another 481 CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus deaths, a day after the statewide death toll topped 40,000 even as the rates of new infections and hospitalizations continue to fall.

The state said that the number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 slipped below 14,850—a drop of more than 25 percent in two weeks.

Deaths remain staggeringly high, however, with more than 3,800 in the last week.

South African Virus Variant Detected in Greece

Greek authorities have confirmed the first detection of the South African variant of the CCP virus in the country.

The minister leading the government response to the pandemic and the head of the country’s public health body met with doctors and the local bishop in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The variant was detected in a 36-year-old deacon in a suburb of the city.

Gyms, Movie Theaters Can Resume With Limits in Boston

Businesses like gyms, movie theaters, museums, and sight-seeing harbor cruises can resume Monday in Boston under its pandemic reopening plan.

The businesses can reopen, following a 25 percent capacity limit, given the improvement in the number of cases and in the city’s positivity rate.

AstraZeneca to Supply 9 Million More Vaccine Doses to EU

AstraZeneca will deliver nine million more doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the European Union in the first quarter of this year, making a total of 40 million for the period, and will start deliveries one week earlier than expected, the president of the European Commission said on Sunday.

Captain Tom Hospitalized After Positive Test

Tom Moore, the 100-year-old World War II veteran who captivated the British public in the early days of the pandemic with his fundraising efforts, has been hospitalized with the CCP virus, his daughter said Sunday.

Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed in a statement posted on Twitter that her father, widely known as Captain Tom, has been admitted to Bedford Hospital because he needed “additional help” with his breathing.

Canada’s Death Toll Surpasses 20,000

Canada’s official virus death toll surpassed 20,000 Sunday after dozens of deaths were reported in Quebec and Ontario.

The new numbers were reported as new limits on travel were coming into effect. As of Sunday, four of Canada’s major airlines suspended service to Mexico and the Caribbean.

WHO Team Visits Infamous Wuhan Food Market

A World Health Organization (WHO) team looking into the origins of the pandemic on Sunday visited the food market in the Chinese city of Wuhan that was reported to be linked to many early infections.

The team arrived at Huanan amid heavy security, with additional barricades set up outside a high blue fence surrounding the market, and left in a convoy after about one hour. The experts did not take questions from journalists.

Fake News About Moderna Vaccines Trending in China

A negative news report on Moderna vaccines recently set off a debate on China’s social media.

On Jan. 27, an article titled “WHO Does Not Recommend MODERNA COVID-19 Vaccines” appeared on a host of Chinese state media outlets, including the Global Times, Guancha, iFeng Tech, and official accounts of local governments. This topic became so heated that it rocketed to fourth place on the list of the most searched hashtags on China’s social media Weibo.

But the news reports turned out to be misrepresentations of information from the World Health Organization (WHO).

CCP Blames Imported Food for Virus Surges

Faced with an increasingly severe domestic situation, as the pandemic worsens in various Chinese provinces, the CCP and its media mouthpieces in recent months have continued publishing reports claiming that the CCP virus originated in other countries, in an attempt to shift attention away from the cover up in Wuhan at the early stages of the pandemic.

State-controlled media have also frequently reported that China has had “cases imported from overseas.”

WATCH: Warren Issues a Stark Warning About COVID Relief for McConnell

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Saturday called on Senate Republicans to vote in favor of the third Wuhan coronavirus relief package. She said it's a way for them to "step up."

"All of a sudden Senate Republicans say, 'It's too big.' I'm sorry. We've got tens of millions of people out of work. We've got tens of millions of people on the threshold of losing their homes," she said. 

According to the senator, there are currently 23 million Americans who are unable to put food on the table. The relief package, she said, would help out families in need while also stepping up COVID vaccination production and reopening schools.

Host Tiffany Cross followed up by asking why Democrats are focused on bipartisanship instead of using their power to push for things the American people need. Warren said she hoped Republicans would join Democrats' efforts because Americans of all political ideologies are suffering due to the pandemic.

"We need everyone to have the help that they need," Warren said. "We need them to get vaccines. We need to get these schools open. But if the Republicans aren't going to do it the Democrats got elected, not to just stand around and debate in Washington. They got elected to deliver and that is exactly what we should do, get this stimulus bill passed and get it done now."

The senator said it's time for Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to "step up" and rise to the occasion so a bipartisan package can be passed. 

"Every day that we delay is another day of people suffering, another delay in getting the vaccines out, and another pause before we get the schools open. I want this done as soon as possible. I’m ready. I am ready to go. And I think we’ve got a lot of Democrats who are ready to go. Right now, Mitch McConnell is still digging in … There’s going to come a point that either he’s going to step up and join us, or we’re going to call his bluff. Me, I’m already at that point. We’ve got to get others on board too, though.”

“Look, right now, there are people who still want to at least give Republicans a chance to come along, and I understand that. But all of the Democrats, and I really do want to underline here all, they want to see relief. They understand the importance of getting these vaccines out. This is about life and death. They see the importance of getting our schools open. They see the importance of making sure that everyone can put food on the table and nobody gets thrown out on the street," she explained. "So, I think Democrats are in the right place. They’re trying to keep the door open to get Republicans onto the bus as well. But if Republicans aren’t going to come, we’re not going to spend much more time on this. It’s time to move now.”

BLACK VIOLENCE IN AMERICA - THE FIGURES ARE GRIM - MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — Six people, including five young children, were shot to death early Tuesday at a home in Oklahoma, and a 25-year-old black man suspected in the killings

 

Man arrested in killing of 5 children, 1 adult in Oklahoma

Updated 

MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — Six people, including five young children, were shot to death early Tuesday at a home in Oklahoma, and a 25-year-old man suspected in the killings was taken into custody, police said.

Officers responded about 1:30 a.m. to a call of multiple people shot at a home in Muskogee, Police Officer Lynn Hamlin said.

Authorities found one man and four children dead at the scene, and a fifth child died at a Tulsa hospital, Hamlin said. Officers also encountered Jarron Deajon Pridgeon with a gun and took him into custody.

A woman who was shot and wounded was in stable condition Tuesday afternoon, Hamlin said.

Authorities have not released the victims' names.

Hamlin described the slain youths as “small children” but said police do not yet have their exact ages. She said authorities don't know a motive but do not believe any other suspects are involved.

Hamlin said the suspect and victims all lived in the home, but that the exact nature of their relationships had not been determined.

“It was not random obviously because they all did live in this home together, but as far as what all those relationships look like, we just don't know that yet," Hamlin said.

She said Pridgeon was not cooperating with investigators.

Jail records do not list an attorney who could speak on Pridgeon's behalf.

Muskogee is a city of just under 40,000 people about 45 miles (70 kilometers) southeast of Tulsa.

This story has been corrected to show the suspect’s first name is Jarron, not Jarrod.

Joe Biden Orders Aid, Benefits for Migrants

President Joe Biden will sign three migration-related Executive Orders on Tuesday, including one directing deputies to consider offering legal entry to illegal immigrants who used their children to cross the border during President Donald Trump’s tenure, say press reports.

The Washington Post reported statements made by officials to selected reporters Monday evening:

Government officials said they had not settled on a single legal status that would be given to returning parents, adding that families could receive different visas or legal protections depending on their cases.

The briefing was used to frame media coverage of the three orders that Biden will sign Tuesday. The New York Times outlined:

Officials said that could include providing visas or other legal means of entry to parents who have been deported back to their home countries. Or it could involve sending children who are living in the United States back to those countries to be with their parents. They said each case would be looked at separately.

“The official said each family would be evaluated on an ‘individual basis,’ taking into account the ‘preference of the family … and the well-being of children,'” according to NBC.

The giveaway is aimed at the roughly 5,500 families who were temporarily divided when the children who were brought over the border were held in shelters. At the same time, the adults were separated and prosecuted for violating the nation’s border laws.

Democrats used the “separated kids” theme to rally liberal opposition to President Donald Trump’s efforts to block southern migration, which included almost one million people in 2019. That migrant wave included many people who brought their children to help them open catch and release loopholes in border rules.

Biden’s offer of benefits for “separated families” is being played up by sympathetic reporters at many outlets and helps to minimize discussion about the broader impact of the pending Executive Orders.

The White House officials downplayed the immediate consequences of the three Executive Orders. The New York Times said:

Senior administration officials said Monday night that most of Mr. Biden’s directives on Tuesday would not make immediate changes. Rather, they are intended to give officials at the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the State Department time to evaluate how best to undo the policies.

National Public Radio reported:

The executive actions make clear that rolling back former President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration measures won’t happen overnight. In fact, more actions are almost certain to follow, officials told reporters on a preview call about the measures.

“It takes time to review everything, so we are starting with these right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of it,” one of the officials said.

But the orders could have a dramatic impact over the next few years.

For example, one order directs the Department of Homeland Security to remove barriers to migration, such as Trump’s “Public Charge” test. The test bars green cards to poor migrants who would need government support to prosper in the United States.

Another order directs officials to create a new pipeline of migrants from Central America to Americans’ workplaces and communities.

Also, the offer of benefits to people who brought their children to get through loopholes creates another incentive for millions of poor people to bring their children as they head north to get jobs — or even legal status — under Biden’s looser policies.

Those policies would further encourage low-skill migration that would spike workplace competition for blue-collar Americans and boosting government aid for poor migrants. That migration would benefit investors, who gain from cheap workers, reduced need for automation, and greater government spending.

The media reports downplayed Biden’s encouragement of migration with the claimed goal of raising economic incentives for migrants to stay in their home countries.

Unlike Trump and his pro-American policies, Biden and his deputies are determined to share Americans’ resources with foreign migrants on the claims of “fairness” and “humanity.”

“President Biden’s approach is to deal with immigration comprehensively, fairly, and humanely,” CNN reported.

For years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration — or the hiring of temporary contract workers into the jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. The multiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-basedpriority-driven, and solidarity-themed opposition to labor migration coexists with generally favorable personal feelings toward legal immigrants and toward immigration in theory.

The deep public opposition is built on the widespread recognition that migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, and from the central states to the coastal states.

 

Steve Scalise: Vaccinating Illegals Before Americans ‘a Slap in the Face’

House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said in a statement Tuesday that President Joe Biden handing out vaccines to illegal immigrants before U.S. citizens should be considered a “slap in the face” to millions of Americans waiting for the coronavirus vaccine.

Scalise, the ranking member of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, released a statement after Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that the agency would provide “equal access to the COVID-19 vaccines” for “undocumented immigrants.”

“It is a moral and public health imperative to ensure that all individuals residing in the United States have access to the vaccine. DHS encourages all individuals, regardless of immigration status, to receive the COVID-19 vaccine once eligible under local distribution guidelines,” the DHS explained in a statement Monday.

DHS continued:

To reach underserved and rural communities, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in collaboration with federal partners, will coordinate efforts to establish and support fixed facilities, pop-up or temporary vaccination sites, and mobile vaccination clinics. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not conduct enforcement operations at or near vaccine distribution sites or clinics. Consistent with ICE’s long-standing sensitive locations policy, ICE does not and will not carry out enforcement operations at or near health care facilities, such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, accredited health clinics, and emergent or urgent care facilities, except in the most extraordinary of circumstances.

Scalise said that this move amounts to a slap in the face for Americans waiting to get the vaccine.

He said:

President Biden’s plan to vaccinate illegal immigrants ahead of Americans who are currently being denied the COVID-19 vaccine is a slap in the face to millions of hard-working families who have been waiting months for the vaccine and expect Washington leaders to be looking out for them. This pattern of President Biden putting non-citizens ahead of American citizens is even more disturbing after last week’s actions that put foreign jobs over American jobs; now he is making Americans wait to get the vaccine behind people who came here illegally. Even worse, this comes on top of the recent exposure of the Biden administration’s original plan to prioritize vaccinating terrorists at Guantanamo Bay over Americans here at home. It is time that President Biden puts Americans first when it comes to protecting the hard-working families who are counting on Washington to put them first.
“President Biden must abandon this ridiculous plan and instead focus on getting the elderly, the vulnerable, frontline workers, and other essential Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible,” Scalise added.

Biden’s DHS Pick Alejandro Mayorkas Accused of Dodging EB-5 Visa Scandal

President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Alejandro Mayokras, has dodged questions about his intervention as head of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to help wealthy foreign nationals secure EB-5 visas, a letter entered into the Senate record claims.

In a January 15 letter to Mayorkas, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) alleged that the former USCIS chief has not been transparent about his role and involvement in a series of EB-5 visa cases. Mayorkas was reported by multiple USCIS staffers for intervening in three specific EB-5 visa cases where foreign investors had been denied visas. In 2015, Obama’s DHS IG John Roth documented the inappropriate actions.

The EB-5 visa program allows wealthy foreign nationals to claim to invest at least $900,000 in U.S. development projects in order to receive green cards for themselves and their families with eventual pathways to American citizenship.

Grassley, who began requesting information about the cases in 2013 when whistleblowers at USCIS reached out to him, writes that Mayorkas has not provided “direct answers” about the cases:

During the Obama Administration, I wrote to you on multiple occasions in your capacity as Director of USCIS to raise concerns about your management of the EB-5 Regional Center Program. My letters, which were part of my ongoing oversight of the EB-5 program, were informed by more than fifteen whistleblowers who contacted my office. Several of those letters pertained to allegations that during your time at USCIS, you provided special access to politically-connected stakeholders with applications pending before the agency, and pressured adjudicators to expedite the review of those applications. Despite the serious ethical concerns at the center of my letters, thus far, I have received only vague responses from you and have received no direct answers to the more than 25 questions that I have asked. [Emphasis added]

Your failure to fully respond to my questions during your time as Director of USCIS raises serious questions about the manner in which you will respond to congressional oversight requests in the future should you be confirmed as the next Secretary of Homeland Security. [Emphasis added]

One of those cases, reported by Breitbart News, involved Mayorkas seemingly intervening “on behalf of Gulf Coast Funds Management, a company with ties to Democratic politician Terry McAuliffe and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s brother, Anthony Rodham,” Grassley notes.

Grassley writes:

As I noted in one of my letters to you, documents indicate that you engaged in nearly a dozen contacts with Gulf Coast between 2010 and 2013, including direct communications with Gulf Coast’s attorneys. On one occasion, when you received an e-mail from Mr. Rodham inquiring about the status of cases involving his company in which Mr. Rodham stated, “[w]e really appreciate your assistance in looking into this matter for us to move our cases along,” you forwarded the e-mail to a subordinate overseeing the EB-5 program and added an “Importance: High” designation. You also intervened in an effort to revise a draft decision … involving Gulf Coast that was not initially favorable to the company. [Emphasis added]

According to whistleblowers who spoke with my office about your involvement with reshaping the AAO draft, at one point, you allegedly said of the decision, “Give it to me, I’ll write the f—ing thing myself.” Although the DHS OIG found that you were eventually “dissuaded…from rewriting the decision [yourself],” when the OIG reviewed the matter, it described your “intervention on technical adjudicative matters” as “corrosive and destabilizing” and noted that to their knowledge, it was the first instance of any USCIS director reviewing the merits of or intervening in an AAO decision. [Emphasis added]

At this confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Mayorkas was repeatedly asked about the EB-5 visa scandal but only gave vague responses and defended himself as a problem-solver.

“I became involved in a lot of cases …. and I did my job,” Mayorkas told Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) when he asked about the scandal. “I learned of problems and I fixed them.”

The questions around ethics are of major importance to the operations at DHS, specifically as they pertain to the business lobby. Congress, for instance, in recent years has delegated power to the DHS Secretary to set the limits on H-2B visas — the visa program that business interests lobby to increase caps every six months regardless of the nation’s unemployment rate.

A Senate confirmation vote on Mayorkas is scheduled for this week.
