You see to have forgotten about how many Latinos were allowed to become citizens and vote quite often Republican because they are Catholics who don't like Roe v Wade
Reagan was not a racist but the former President Trump started his campaign with
Birtherism.
Biden is the transitional President, who will replace top down economics with bottom up economics just like FDR and even LBJ.
Reagan is absolutely right as we've seen with the complete and blatantly unconstitutional unilateral suspension of property rights.
With that move in particular this administration is telling us that our Constitution does not matter, they will do whatever the fuck they want whenever they want, those who oppose them will be labelled as domestic terrorists, and if we really protest too much and get out of hand, they'll turn their Stasi-FBI on us and lock us up indefinitely with no due process.
Trump did exactly NONE of the fascist, totalitarian, Hitlerian things he was accused of, while this administration is doing or contemplating ALL of these things, with the leftists cheering them on.
Allyson Felix Wins Bronze In 400 To Become Olympics’ Most Decorated Female Track Athlete
The U.S. legend captured her 10th career Olympic medal during the Tokyo games.

Allyson Felix further cemented her Olympic greatness at the Tokyo games, finishing third in the 400-meter race on Friday.
Shaunae Miller-Uibo of Bahamas won in 48.36 seconds and Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic was second in 49.20. Felix’s time was 49.46 ― just a few ticks behind her personal best of 49.26.
Felix’s bronze medal ― the 10th Olympic medal she has won in her storied career ― felt more like a coronation. She vaulted past Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey to become the most decorated female track athlete in Summer Games history, and is now tied with U.S. legend Carl Lewis.
Felix, 35, began her Olympic career at age 18 and has steadily accumulated hardware. She won one medal in 2004, two in 2008, three in 2012 and three in 2016.
She has a chance to pass Lewis’ count in the 4x400 relay on Saturday. Paavo Nurmi of Finland holds the all-time track medals record with 12, according to NBC.
This was Felix’s first Olympics since becoming a mom. She gave birth to daughter Camryn via an emergency C-section in 2018 after a pregnancy that put both of them at risk. The baby weighed 3.2 lbs she later accused Nike of attempting to severely cut her pay in contract negotiations after she became a mother.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board said that electric cars are another Welfare System.
The companies hope to lower EV costs over time through economies of scale in manufacturing. This is another reason they are begging for government subsidies to increase sales. But auto makers don’t want to drive the electric highway alone because then they could lose money while others churn out profits. The solution? Collusion with the Biden Administration to regulate competition across the industry and raise prices for consumers.

Auto makers have been touting their increasing EV sales and claim electric cars are the “future.” Great. Then government doesn’t need to subsidize them. Steve Jobs never asked the government to pay people to buy iPhones or to finance their production.
And CEOs wonder why Americans have soured on big business. This isn’t capitalism. It’s corporate socialism, or state capitalism. We hope these corporate titans enjoy their new government “partners.” Maybe they can put Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on the corporate board.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., suggested at a recent Republican fundraiser in Alabama that Southerners could threaten President Joe Biden's "police state friends" with guns if they show up at their homes asking about their coronavirus vaccination status.
The late-July event in Dothan was closed to the media, but a video clip of some of her comments leaked, according to the Alabama Political Reporter.
“You lucky people here in Alabama might get a knock on your door, because I hear Alabama might be one of the most unvaccinated states,” Greene told the crowd, prompting cheers and applause over the state's low vaccination rate. “Well, Joe Biden wants to come talk to you guys. He's going to be sending one of his police state friends to your front door to knock on the door, take down your name, your address, your family members' names, your phone numbers, your cellphone numbers, probably ask for your Social Security number and whether you've taken the vaccine or not.”
Hey, I know. Let's have a government leader direct our private sector on what products to produce on what schedule, with what features, on what timeline and subsidized with Mount Everest-seized piles of taxpayer money.

New Jersey gym owner and Donald Trump supporter who harassed and assaulted officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty to two counts on Friday ― becoming the first Capitol attack defendant to enter a guilty plea in connection with an assault on law enforcement.
Scott Fairlamb, whose father was a New Jersey trooper and whose brother was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail, pleaded guilty to two counts: one of obstruction of an official proceeding, and one of assaulting an officer.

Both counts are felonies, and the plea agreement states that the sentencing guidelines call for between 41 months minimum and 51 months maximum imprisonment. Fairlamb’s lawyer can argue for less prison time at sentencing.
Fairlamb’s attorney, Harley Breite, told HuffPost earlier this week that his client wanted to “assume responsibility for the things that he did” and “make amends for them and move on with his life.” Fairlamb has been incarcerated since his arrest in January.
He's a convicted felon. Because he followed orders by Trump.

Fully vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
That’s why the CDC changed its guidance last week and is now recommending even vaccinated people wear masks indoors again, Walensky said.
Last week, the agency released a study that showed the Delta variant produced similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated people if they got infected – data that suggests vaccinated people who get a breakthrough infection could have a similar tendency to spread the virus as the unvaccinated.
“If you’re going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, to somebody who can’t get vaccinated, somebody who might be immunosuppressed or a little bit frail, somebody who has comorbidities that put them at high risk, I would suggest you wear a mask in public indoor settings,” Walensky said.
The dangerous Delta variant has fueled the country’s latest surge of Covid-19 cases and if more Americans don’t get vaccinated and mask up, the country could soon be seeing “several hundred thousand cases a day,” similar to the winter surge, Walensky said.

THE TROUBLE IS, THE TRUMPSTERS BELIEVE THAT THE NATION THAT REAGAN WAS TALKING ABOUT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST TODAY, SO THEY ARE LOOKING ABROAD:

Jamelle Bouie: “Whatever its source, conservative defenses of, and even affectation for, foreign autocracies — of which enthusiasm for Orban’s Hungary is only the latest example — is too consistent to ignore.”
“At this moment in American life, it’s conservatives who have set their sights abroad. Parts of the movement have even adopted a kind of anti-Americanism, a contempt for the United States as it exists. These conservatives still call themselves ‘patriots’ — and disdain their opponents as ‘traitors’ — but theirs is an abstract loyalty to an idealized country.”
GREENVILLE, Calif. — A wildfire raging in Northern California exploded in size overnight, becoming the third-largest wildfire in state history amid high temperatures and strong winds. Better weather conditions were expected to aid the firefight on Friday.
The Dixie Fire grew by 110 square miles (285 square kilometers) between Thursday night and Friday morning, making the blaze the largest wildfire currently raging in the nation.
"This is going to be a long firefight," said Capt. Mitch Matlow, spokesperson of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire was 35% contained Friday morning but was largely expanding within the perimeter firefighters previously established. It now spans an area of 676 square miles (1,751 square kilometers).

On Wednesday, the fire tore through the little California mountain town of Greenville, which resident Eva Gorman said was a place of community and strong character, where neighbors volunteered to move furniture, colorful baskets of flowers brightened Main Street, and writers, musicians, mechanics and chicken farmers mingled.
Now, it's ashes.
"Our whole downtown area is gone"
As hot, bone-dry, gusty weather hit California, the fire raged through the Gold Rush-era Sierra Nevada community of about 1,000, incinerating much of the downtown that included wooden buildings more than a century old.

I AGREE WITH THIS TOO: Judge Blocks Arkansas Law Banning Masks in Schools August 6, 2021 at 12:19 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard “An Arkansas judge has temporarily blocked the state from enforcing a law that prevents schools and other governmental agencies from requiring masks,” the Associated Press reports.
AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS: Vaccine Mandates Are More Popular as Vaccinations Rise August 6, 2021 at 12:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Nathaniel Rakich: “Despite prominent voices on the right giving vaccine mandates labels such as ‘Orwellian,’ they are actually pretty popular among the American public. And where they are controversial, it’s based less on partisanship than on whether the individuals have been vaccinated themselves.
“For example, Morning Consult found that 74 percent of already-vaccinated people supported company-mandated vaccines, while 54 percent of unvaccinated people opposed them.
"Interestingly, 28 percent of unvaccinated people actually supported mandatory vaccines.”
GET VACCINATED. FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS, INCLUDING NEWL ENDANGERED CHILDREN.
Some, including DeSantis and Ch, are treating a return of mask mandates and shutdowns as the greater threat. Putting a mask will make you become a Communist!
Can tell you mask-wearing and shutdowns are not popular with Floridians. In fact they consider shutdowns and mask-wearing to be the grearer threat.
With coronavirus cases rising sharply across the country, and new federal guidance that everyone, vaccinated or not, should wear masks in schools, some school districts in those states are imposing mask mandates anyway, despite the risk of financial penalties for defying the state orders.”
“In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said in an executive order last Friday that the state would take away funding from any district that infringed on ‘the fundamental right of parents to make health and educational decisions for their children’ by requiring students to wear masks.”
“But four Florida school systems — in Broward, Leon, Duval and Alachua Counties — have said they would retain or seek to impose mask mandates.”
I was an evangelical and an anti-vaxxer; here’s what changed — Essay
JULIE M. BACH
AUGUST 4, 2021 6:00 AM
Dr. Jonas Salk, pictured here, developed the polio vaccine, which has saved millions of lives. A simple story about a polio victim changed the writer’s mind. Photo courtesy of the Senator John Heinz History Center.
As hospitals again fill up with COVID-19 cases, the vaccinated are getting angrier at the unvaccinated. I get the anger. I also get what it feels like to be on the other side. Being an anti-vaxxer is a lot like being an evangelical Christian, and I’ve been both.
In the evangelical church of my adolescence, I was taught to believe we had a corner on The Truth. We had a duty to remain true to the “good news.” We accepted that we might be “persecuted” for our beliefs, but we were sure that the evidence (mainly the Bible) was entirely on our side. Our beliefs created a powerful sense of belonging. I was in the evangelical church long before social media, but the church’s vibrant youth program met all my social needs in a similar way. It was the equivalent of a Facebook bubble.
I fled from evangelicalism only to fall into another errant subculture when I was pregnant with my first child. I had been getting truly helpful care from holistic medical practitioners who, unfortunately, were convinced that vaccinations are damaging. I can scarcely believe it now, but once again I drank the Kool-Aid. The literature I absorbed — all published independently or by small presses — promised that if I raised my children “naturally,” I wouldn’t need vaccines to protect them from communicable diseases.
Like evangelicals who reject secularism, many of those who reject vaccines find identity, solidarity and even a kind of salvation in that rejection. The comments in response to infamous anti-vaxxer Christiane Northrup’s web page on vaccines are illustrative. Northrup, for years a well-respected M.D. specializing in women’s health, is now identified as one of the “disinformation dozen” by the Center for Confronting Digital Hate.
Her readers post about “an entire civilization” becoming “so ignorant.” They talk about the “wiser path,” and they thank her for “spreading the truth.” They express fears of being discriminated against. One respondent writes, “See, I was born ‘knowing.’”
Their language echoes that of evangelicals and is easy to dismiss, yet the stories they tell are of genuine anguish, of dealing with frightening illnesses that are truly hard to live with. One woman connects a friend’s flu shot in pregnancy to the child’s diagnosis of autism two years later. Sure, it sounds far-fetched, and we might feel exasperated by the misinformation, but a child with autism is a difficult thing. The kind of thing that cries out for compassion.
A liberal arts education got me out of the evangelical community. Novels like Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” dismantled a worldview that I had accepted as fact. All the literature I read and subjects I studied presented so many different realities that I came to understand how much the church had created mine, and how easily I could un-create it. I suddenly had access to the interior thoughts of literature’s great characters, who gave me a broader vision of the world.
As for vaccines, a simple story about a disabled man got me out of the anti-vaxx movement. The man in the story had contracted polio and lost the use of his legs after the vaccine became widely available. I suddenly realized the risk I was taking with my children’s health and lives.
I’m deeply embarrassed by my former participation in both movements. I can say unequivocally that I never want to be so out of touch with reality again.
At the same time, I can also say that I do have compassion for those who today choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19. I know from experience that they are feeding themselves such a steady and complete diet of falsehoods that they not only can’t absorb the science, they can’t work out the basic common sense that easily informs other areas of their lives.
I also know that once you dig beneath the bravado of certainty, falsehoods are a very scary place to live. If the rest of the world doesn’t buy your beliefs, or if some of their competing arguments jibe with your own common sense, then on some level you can’t help wondering if you’re wildly wrong. And if you are, what are the implications?
I don’t want to suggest that I’m never angry at vaccine refusal. I’m currently living with chronic fatigue syndrome; I’m scared to death that even a mild bout of COVID could exacerbate my symptoms and cause a layering of long COVID over the fatigue I already suffer. I’m angry that my college-age daughter will have to once again restrict her activities at school this fall. I’m angry that my 86-year-old mother with a history of heart problems is growing depressed about a return to a sequestered life.
I honestly don’t know whether anger or compassion (or doses of both) will get us to a fully vaccinated world. Anger tends to make people dig in their heels. But, on the other hand, compassion is slow medicine, and we don’t have a lot of time. People are dying right now. People are living with long COVID right now. And more will be infected and die as the Delta variant spreads and other variants inevitably crop up.
Also, I’m not sure how compassion works when it’s directed toward people who disdain it. To be compassionate means to “suffer with.” Evangelicals and anti-vaxxers don’t feel they’re suffering; they think we’re suffering.
So what’s the answer? We’re moving toward mandates — for which there is ample precedent — but they may be a two-edged sword. Mandates will undoubtedly prevent suffering when skeptics get vaccinated. They may also cause suffering — though presumably not death — when people who still refuse vaccination lose jobs or relationships or are further alienated from sound medical treatments.
I’d like to think education could help. But all that wisdom I got from the likes of Alice Walker during my college education occurred far from home, which allowed me to leave my evangelical identity behind and forge a new path. Few people have such a luxury, even if they want it.
The media also play a key role: Americans embraced the polio vaccine partly because children in wheelchairs, on crutches, and in iron lungs were so tragically visible. Similarly, we need more graphic documentation of the costs of COVID. It sounds horrible, I know, but I think we need to see COVID patients on ventilators and struggling to recover. Health care privacy law rightly prevents hospitals from documenting the suffering without patient consent, but could more patients be persuaded to share their experiences in photos, audio and video?
In the end, I come back to the idea of story, like “The Color Purple” and the story I read about the man disabled by polio.
Here’s where I think compassion may play a role. I left evangelicalism and the community of anti-vaxxers because of stories that were well told, impactful and true in a way that goes far beyond facts. Those stories changed my life — twice. Perhaps compassion in the case of vaccine hesitancy means telling and sharing stories that take us right to the fortress of fears and lies, stories that keep us pinned there, sharing and telling, until something shifts.
The Democrats should listen to him. The media also play a key role: Americans embraced the polio vaccine partly because children in wheelchairs, on crutches, and in iron lungs were so tragically visible. Similarly, we need more graphic documentation of the costs of COVID. It sounds horrible, I know, but I think we need to see COVID patients on ventilators and struggling to recover. Health care privacy law rightly prevents hospitals from documenting the suffering without patient consent, but could more patients be persuaded to share their experiences in photos, audio and video?

The picture I sent drove him crazy again and again and again and.
Trump wasn't an isolationist, you imbecile. He was a pragmatist. He was smart enough to know that it's impossible to export democracy to third world shitholes where people are stuck in the 12th century and they still live in fucking caves.
He had Bush 43 beat by a mile in this regard. You're just to stupid to understand.
Biden & Kamala have trouble with basic math. In one year they’ve said:
• 350 million have been vaccinated in the United States • 200 million have died from COVID in the United States • 220 million have died from COVID in the United States • 150 million killed by gun violence in the United States
I guess some of our 330 million came back again to get another round of shots because they loved them so much. There are more examples of this stuff but you get the point.
And the goat fucker continues babbling like the moronic trump slurper he is!!!!! BTW....who is #1 to break a trillion dollar deficit and you said nothing........BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
You know, we have, roughly, 350 million people vaccinated [doses administered] in the United States and billions around the world, and virtually no one has died because of that vaccinations. But even so, the impact is going to be very different than what happened last January.
It's on the white House website troll squad asshole.
People misspeak, but it doesn't mean they are not crazy like you.
I checked out earlier today.

What you don't know is that we kept the entire world from Communism because we had allies like the Germans who fought against the Allies in World War Two.
They were governed by Hitler.
We also extraordinarily appreciate to become allies with Japan after the War.
Your ignorance is why I rarely reply to you Jimmy Hitler Jr..
Children dying from Covid won't change anyone's mind. The people so adamantly against masks, and vaccines, have also been adamantly against any measures to prevent mass shootings. They see the deaths of children as the price of their freedom. That's who they are.
It’s frustratingly typical for conservatives to fraudulently cloak themselves in the mantle of Abraham Lincoln and the Union. But what Fox News host Ben Domenech did on Tuesday night -- describing the progressive left as “the inheritor” of “slave power” with its “fixation on the hierarchy of race and caste” and his viewers as ideological descendants of the paramilitary pro-Lincoln “Wide Awakes” of 1860 -- wandered perilously close to a call for a new Civil War.
Domenech presented U.S. politics as an existential fight between “the enemies of everything this nation has ever been” and “the patriots, the Americans, the men and women who will do anything to preserve it, because they know what civilization requires.”
The host closed by directly addressing his millions of viewers. “You are the heart of a nation that has slept for so long,” he said. “But now at last, you are wide awake. So now I ask you again: What are you willing to do?” Domenech didn’t give an answer to the question -- but his rhetoric suggests that it isn’t casting votes for candidates who share your values.
Domenech is not alone. Donald Trump’s propagandists warned last year that his supporters would face apocalyptic consequences if he was not reelected. Since he left office, they have increasingly preached the benefits of living under an authoritarian strongman. Only such a figure, they suggest, can defeat their leftist foes and protect “the patriots” from the threats of multiculturalism, globalism, and the immigrant “invasion.” If the verdict of multiracial democracy results in their defeat, their solution is an end to multiracial democracy.
Tucker Carlson is broadcasting his prime-time Fox show this week from Hungary, which became a case study for how a democracy backslides toward authoritarian rule after Viktor Orbán, a Christian traditionalist and ethnonationalist, was elected prime minister in 2010. Orbán used his party’s strong majority that year to lock it into power, rewriting Hungary’s constitution, aggressively gerrymandering its parliamentary districts, and expanding its constitutional court with party loyalists. He has since taken a hammer to its civil society, persecuting universities, journalists, and dissidents while stoking fears about Muslim immigration and LGBTQ people.
Fox’s viewers are getting a glowing presentation of Hungary’s authoritarian nationalism. Carlson, who previously touted Orbán’s leadership, said on Monday, “If you care about western civilization and democracy and families and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here, right now.” On Wednesday, he called Hungary a “powerful” example and defended it from “lies” that its government is authoritarian.
In addition to airing his show from the country, Carlson is meeting with Orbán, speaking at a far-right conference in its capital of Budapest, and joining other U.S. conservatives who applaud Hungary’s illiberal governance as a potential model.
It’s chilling to see perhaps the most powerful figure in the right-wing media talking up the benefits of a state that is slipping out of the democratic orbit. But Carlson actually represents the moderate strain of the right’s antidemocratic discourse, praising a country whose authoritarian drift came through constitutional means while blaming the U.S. left for pushing the right toward fascism by “undermining the system that kept extremism at bay.” Further out on the fringes, discussion has turned to the merits of military coups.
Earlier this week, the Trumpist commentary site American Greatness published a piece by Christopher Roach contemplating the merits of “The Salazar Option,” a reference to António de Oliveira Salazar, the repressive Portuguese dictator who ruled for decades following a military coup that crushed Portugal’s nascent republic.
Roach praised Salazar for taking “necessary steps to preserve the economic freedom, national sovereignty, and family life on which a civilization depends.” He acknowledged that Salazar’s regime was “undoubtedly authoritarian,” but excused that as “less damaging to society than the alternative,” i.e., a republic in which the left won elections, and seemed to applaud Salazar for hurting the right people. After ominously explaining that Trump’s presidency shows the limitations of mere “electoral success,” Roach wrote that one lesson for the U.S. right is that Salazar’s movement “did not treat its enemies with kid gloves”:
August 6, 2021 at 5:36 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 45 Comments Punchbowl News: “The Senate returns to session at 11 a.m. tomorrow, and there will be a cloture vote around noon to cut off debate on the 2,700-page, $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. After that, everything is up in the air as far as scheduling goes. Clear there’s sufficient support among senators to invoke cloture — clear a parliamentary hurdle — on the massive package (which is technically a substitute amendment), yet there is no endgame deal at this point.
“Absent any kind of agreement between the two sides — and Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) wouldn’t go along with such a deal Thursday night — there’ll be up to 30 hours post-cloture debate time. That will be followed by a simple majority vote on the substitute amendment (the bipartisan infrastructure bill). At that point, another cloture vote will be in order on the underlying legislation (the INVEST Act, a House-passed infrastructure measure.) Again, that may be followed by up to 30 hours of post-cloture debate time. Amendment votes would be allowed during this period. Then there would then be a vote on passage of the entire package. Yeah, it’s complicated.
“In the worst case, this final vote could happen Tuesday. We don’t believe it will go that long, but it could.”
Cryptocurrency Fight Stalls Infrastructure Passage August 6, 2021 at 4:44 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 51 Comments Washington Post: “The Biden administration is pushing back against a last-minute effort by a bipartisan group of senators to limit a proposal in the infrastructure bill to increase federal regulation of cryptocurrencies. The fierce lobbying push helped stall plans to finish voting on the bill Thursday night, and now it appears debate will stretch into the weekend.”
GOOD NEWS! CHARIOT MAY BE A-COMIN'! GOP Candidates Bash Infrastructure Deal, BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR BI-PARTISAN ACHIEVEMENT! August 6, 2021 at 4:19 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard “Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), the longtime Washington veteran and SAVVY DEAL-CUTTER, is on the cusp of ACHIEVING A MAJOR BIPARTISAN BREAKTHROUGH that would amount to a CAPSTONE of his three decades of public service,” CNN reports.
“But the bevy of Ohio Republicans looking to replace the retiring senator in 2022 have a sharply different view. They are roundly criticizing the agreement as a budget-busting bill the US can’t afford, aligning themselves squarely with former President Donald Trump who has called on the GOP to oppose the sweeping proposal.
“In intraparty contests throughout the country, Republican candidates are lining up against the bipartisan deal — and lining up with Trump — reflecting not only the heightened partisanship in American politics but also how primaries incentivize candidates to demonstrate purity to their base voters.'
GOOD NEWS! CHARIOT'S A-COMIN'! America Is Getting Back to Work, FAST! August 6, 2021 at 4:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard New York Times: “America is getting back to work. That’s the simplest, clearest analysis of the labor market that emerges from nearly every line of the July employment numbers released Friday morning. It is a welcome sign that, as of the middle of last month, the economy is healing rapidly — and that the previous couple of months reflected healthier results than previously estimated.
Wall Street Journal: “A strengthening U.S. labor market added cushion to the economic recovery in July ahead of the Delta variant threat, with employers creating jobs at the best pace in nearly a year and the unemployment rate falling sharply.”
Washington Post: “The two reports make for two straight months when nearly 1 million jobs were added – totals that are close to the optimistic predictions many economists had last year about how vaccinations would smooth the way for the labor market recovery. Wages also continued to rise, raising by 11 cents an hour to $30.54 on average — the fourth straight month of growth. Both long-term unemployment and the number of people on temporary layoff also declined.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in misinformation and conspiracy theories about the scale of the pandemic and the origin, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. False information, including intentional disinformation, has been spread through social media, text messaging,[1] and mass media. False information has been propagated by celebrities, politicians, and other prominent public figures. Multiple countries have passed laws against "fake news", and thousands of people have been arrested for spreading coronavirus disease 2019 misinformation. The spread of COVID-19 misinformation by governments has also been significant.
Disinfodemic – Deciphering COVID-19 disinformation, published by UNESCO
Commercial scams have claimed to offer at-home tests, supposed preventives, and "miracle" cures.[2] Several religious groups have claimed their faith will protect them from the virus.[3] Without evidence, some people have claimed the virus is a bioweapon accidentally or deliberately leaked from a laboratory, a population control scheme, the result of a spy operation, or the side effect of 5G upgrades to cellular networks.[4]
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared an "infodemic" of incorrect information about the virus that poses risks to global health.[5] While belief in conspiracy theories is not a new phenomenon, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this can lead to adverse health effects. Cognitive biases, such as jumping to conclusions and confirmation bias, may be linked to the occurrence of conspiracy beliefs.[6] In addition to health effects, harms resulting from the spread of misinformation and endorsement of conspiracy theories include increasing distrust of news organizations and medical authorities as well as divisiveness and political fragmentation.[7]
How is herd immunity achieved? There are two main paths to herd immunity for COVID-19 — infection and vaccines.
Natural infection Herd immunity can be reached when enough people in the population have recovered from a disease and have developed protective antibodies against future infection.
However, there are some major problems with relying on community infection to create herd immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19:
Reinfection. It’s not clear how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have antibodies, it’s possible that you could get COVID-19 again. Health impact. Experts estimate that in the U.S., 70% of the population — more than 200 million people — would have to recover from COVID-19 to halt the pandemic. This number of infections could lead to serious complications and millions of deaths, especially among older people and those who have existing health conditions. The health care system could quickly become overwhelmed. Vaccines Herd immunity also can be reached when enough people have been vaccinated against a disease and have developed protective antibodies against future infection. Unlike the natural infection method, vaccines create immunity without causing illness or resulting complications. Using the concept of herd immunity, vaccines have successfully controlled contagious diseases such as smallpox, polio, diphtheria, rubella and many others.
Herd immunity makes it possible to protect the population from a disease, including those who can't be vaccinated, such as newborns or those who have compromised immune systems.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given emergency use authorization to a handful of COVID-19 vaccines.
But reaching herd immunity through vaccination against COVID-19 might be difficult for many reasons. For example:
Vaccine hesitancy. Some people may object to getting a COVID-19 vaccine because of religious objections, fears about the possible risks or skepticism about the benefits. If the proportion of vaccinated people in a community is below the herd immunity threshold, a contagious disease could continue to spread. Protection questions. It’s not clear how long the COVID-19 vaccines will protect you from COVID-19. Further research is needed to see how much the COVID-19 vaccines reduce transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Also, research suggests that COVID-19 vaccines may have lower efficacy against some of the variants of the COVID-19 virus. New variants, which could be more resistant to vaccines, are regularly emerging. Uneven vaccine roll-out. The distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has greatly varied among and within countries. If one community achieves a high COVID-19 vaccination rate and surrounding areas don’t, outbreaks can occur if the populations mix. What’s the outlook for achieving herd immunity in the U.S.? The U.S. is currently making progress toward herd immunity through a combined approach. The number of fully vaccinated adults continues to rise. In addition, more than 31 million people in the U.S. have had confirmed infections with the COVID-19 virus — though, again, it’s not clear how long immunity lasts after infection.
Given the challenges, it’s not clear if or when the U.S. will achieve herd immunity.
However, the FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at protecting against severe illness requiring hospitalization and death due to COVID-19. Even if it isn’t currently possible to stop transmission of the COVID-19 virus, the vaccines are allowing people to better be able to live with the virus.
How can you slow the transmission of COVID-19? When possible, get a COVID-19 vaccine. If you’re fully vaccinated, you can return to doing activities you might not have been able to do because of the pandemic, including not wearing a mask or social distancing in any setting — except where required by a rule or law.
If you haven’t had a COVID-19 vaccine, take steps to reduce the risk of infection:
Avoid close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters) with anyone who is sick or has symptoms. Keep distance between yourself and others (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). This is especially important if you have a higher risk of serious illness. Keep in mind some people may have the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others, even if they don't have symptoms. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Wear a face mask in indoor public spaces and outdoors where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as at a crowded event or large gathering. Further mask guidance differs depending on whether you are fully vaccinated or unvaccinated. Surgical masks may be used if available. N95 respirators should be reserved for health care providers. Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw away the used tissue. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Avoid sharing dishes, glasses, bedding and other household items if you're sick. Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, electronics and counters, daily. Stay home from work, school and public areas if you're sick, unless you're going to get medical care. Avoid public transportation, taxis and ride-sharing if you're sick.

Had COVID? You’ll probably make antibodies for a lifetime
"Many people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 will probably make antibodies against the virus for most of their lives. So suggest researchers who have identified long-lived antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow of people who have recovered from COVID-191.
The study provides evidence that immunity triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection will be extraordinarily long-lasting. Adding to the good news, “the implications are that vaccines will have the same durable effect”, says Menno van Zelm, an immunologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
Antibodies — proteins that can recognize and help to inactivate viral particles — are a key immune defence. After a new infection, short-lived cells called plasmablasts are an early source of antibodies."
The bill would raise an estimated $28 billion over 10 years by updating IRS reporting requirements for cryptocurrency brokers, just as stockbrokers report their customers’ sales to the IRS.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and others who wanted to narrow the definition of who must file those IRS forms are concerned that crypto miners, software developers and others would be subject to the new reporting requirement.
Toomey warned that the provision, as written, could have a “chilling effect on the development of this technology, and that’s what I am most concerned about.”
The White House weighed in late, suggesting it favored a different approach from Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and other senators.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said the compromise amendment “would reduce tax evasion in the cryptocurrency market.”
Overall, the infrastructure bill calls for $550 billion in new spending over five years above projected federal levels for a nearly $1 trillion package, in what could be one of the more substantial investments in the nation’s roads, bridges, waterworks, broadband and the electric grid in years.
If senators wrap up work on the bipartisan bill, they will turn to the much more partisan undertaking on Biden’s agenda: a $3.5 trillion proposal for what the White House calls human infrastructure — child care support, home health care, education and other expenditures that are Democratic priorities that Republicans have pledged to reject. Debate will extend into the fall.
Schumer wants the Senate to pass both the bipartisan package and a budget blueprint for the bigger proposal before senators depart for an August recess.

Hey alky, show you can do a search yourself or don't you trust the govenments own reporting system?
Covid vaccine maker Moderna received 300,000 reports of side effects after vaccinations over a three-month period following the launch of its shot, according to an internal report from a company that helps Moderna manage the reports.
That figure is far higher than the number of side effect reports about Moderna’s vaccine publicly available in the federal system that tracks such adverse events.
Vaccine manufacturers like Moderna are legally required to forward all side effect reports they receive to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, where they are made public each week.
Run by the Centers for Disease Control and Food & Drug Administration, the VAERS system is crucial to tracking potential problems with vaccines. It helped scientists determine the Covid vaccines may cause heart problems in young adults.
The reason for the gap is not clear. Moderna may simply still be processing the reports, though the number of reports about Moderna’s vaccine in VAERS from the first half of 2021 remained almost flat this week.
Moderna and IQVIA, the company that works with Moderna to handle the reports, did not return emails for comment.
As of today’s update, VAERS contains more than 3,000 reports of deaths following Moderna vaccinations.
Amazon.com Inc. said all workers at its hundreds of U.S. warehouses will have to wear masks starting Monday, expanding a more limited requirement in response to the resurgent Covid-19 threat posed by the Delta variant.
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States.
there have been around 143 preliminary reports of GBS identified in VAERS as of July 30.
As of July 30, 2021, VAERS has received 1,249 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine.
Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 346 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 2, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,490 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine
There has been much talk of reporting lags and understatement but the CDC itself admits to over 6,000 deaths this year. Not a small number when compared to Covid deaths and very likely contains many people who had natural immunity from previous infections.

Why Won’t the Government Release Officer Fanone’s Bodycam Video?
The government used a little trick to prevent video from being formally entered into the judicial record. Federal judges played along.
By Julie Kelly
August 5, 2021
At least one federal judge handling several Capitol protest criminal cases is paying attention to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s show trial about the events of January 6.
Judge Thomas Hogan, 83, who has served on the D.C. District Court for nearly 40 years, referred to public testimony given last week by four law enforcement officers while he scolded a husband and wife over their involvement in the protest.
“[H]e begins by talking about the violence, and makes clear he listened to the police officers who testified before Congress last week about their experience, and notes the recent suicide of [a Metropolitan Police Department] officer,” Zoe Tillman, a reporter for BuzzFeed, live-tweeted during the couple’s sentencing hearing on Wednesday.
Set aside for a moment how the inflammatory and unsubstantiated accounts by those officers will taint an already highly biased jury pool in Washington, D.C. when trials begin next year; it’s clear the January 6 select committee already is influencing court proceedings. Judge Hogan, and presumably others, will take witness testimony at face value and use it as proof that Capitol defendants, even the nonviolent ones, contributed to “violence” that day.
Which is why, as we have argued repeatedly at American Greatness, the government and U.S. Capitol Police should agree to release more than 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured by security cameras on January 6. If the four-hour melee indeed compares to the worst terrorist attacks against Americans, and ranks among the worst days in U.S. history, the public deserves to see what happened, minute-by-minute, inside and outside the building.

NEW: @FoxNews has obtained exclusive new images from Border Patrol’s processing facility in Donna, TX, showing overcrowding once again. BP source tells FOX 5,300 people there as of Thursday. 40-60 per pod, when COVID restrictions are approx 10 per pod.
------------------------------------
Biden's reckless border policy is spreading Covid and the death toll it brings (even if the new variant is much less lethal)
I like roger's rule that Biden needs to be charged with manslaughter for this
roger calls for these physicians to be charged with manslaughter !!!
Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection? Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated - compared to just 1% who had been infected previously.
Coronavirus patients who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID, according to numbers presented to the Israeli Health Ministry.
Health Ministry data on the wave of COVID outbreaks which began this May show that Israelis with immunity from natural infection were far less likely to become infected again in comparison to Israelis who only had immunity via vaccination.
More than 7,700 new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave starting in May, but just 72 of the confirmed cases were reported in people who were known to have been infected previously – that is, less than 1% of the new cases.
Roughly 40% of new cases – or more than 3,000 patients – involved people who had been infected despite being vaccinated.
Of course there's always the possibility that the "vaccine" is only largely "working" for people with prior Covid exposure and we need to get to herd immunity mostly naturally.
Then it makes sense to not test for antibodies...
And our masters get rich in the meantime...
another innocent Fauci mistake
He's an old rich white guy like all his buddies.....

Don't keep your roommate up with you incoherent babbling
The Former President is still trying hard to steal the next election. Despite the failed coup on January 6th.
The 2020 fight over the independent state legislature doctrine was a close call. It would not be at all surprising to see at least five or perhaps all six conservative justices embrace the argument next time it comes before the court in a timely way.
It’s easy to picture how this might play out in the next presidential election. Imagine that a state legislature sets forth general rules for conducting the 2024 election, but it does not provide every detail about how the election is run. Republican legislatures in states won by the Democratic candidate could seize on some normal election administration rule created by a state or local election administrator or some ruling from a state court, and argue that implementation of the rule renders the presidential election unconstitutional, leaving it to the state legislature to pick a different slate of electors.
Now maybe the courts won’t bite on this theory—in 2020, Justice Kavanaugh seemed wary of the argument because it came very late in the process. But it might not take court involvement to create chaos and try to flip election results. A state legislature dominated by Republicans in a state won by Democrats could simply meet and declare that local administrators or courts have deviated from the legislature’s own rules, and therefore the legislature will take matters into its own hands and choose its own slate of electors.
Should Republicans control Congress in early 2024, they could well accept these arguments as they count Electoral College votes, even as such arguments were rejected by a Democratic-led Congress (over the objections of well over 100 Republican members of Congress) in 2020. They might try to count the votes from the state legislature rather than votes reflecting the people’s will. The independent state legislature argument—which would essentially overturn U.S. elections to make the loser the winner—would have an air of respectability that would not depend upon a claim that the election was rife with fraud or stolen, but that the actions of the state’s governor, or courts, or election administrators violated the Constitution by usurping the legislature’s rights. Again, all of this is scarily plausible.
The Jan. 6 insurrection, and Trump’s actions trying to change the electoral college votes in five states, was an attempted coup built on the Big Lie of voter fraud. But the potential coup next time will come in neatly filed legal briefs and arguments quoting Thomas Jefferson and wrapped in ancient precedents and purported constitutional textualism. It will be no less pernicious.

Vaccine Demand Jumps In States Hit Hard by Delta Variant August 6, 2021 at 7:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Politico: “The number of Americans receiving a first vaccine dose each week has nearly doubled over the last month. … But whether the recent spike in demand will meaningfully boost vaccination rates, which are still below 50 percent in more than a dozen states, remains to be seen.”

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday they have observed "an increasing but modest level of activity online" by people who are calling for violence in response to baseless claims of 2020 election fraud and related to the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated.
"Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized," according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News.

There is no evidence that shows there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
PCR tests don’t work to diagnose infection we keep accepting all the statistics that are produced as a result of assuming PCR tests diagnose infection.
We say – “0h wow, covid numbers rising despite the lockdown”
Or “massive spike in people getting covid in THIS care home despite precautions”.
Or “look the ‘vax’ doesn’t work because people who get it still catch covid”
.No. Wrong. They’re not “covid numbers”, they’re positive-test numbers. It’s not a spike in people ‘getting Covid’ in the care home, it’s a spike of people testing positive. The people who get the vax don’t “still catch covid”, they still test positive.
And the reason why these ‘anomalies’ happen, the reason why vaxxed people can still test positive, etc etc is the same reason a papaya can test positive – because the PCR tests don’t work.
The PCR tests don’t work.
The CDC says that the 59 different PCR tests on the market can’t have their performance` compared…because they all used different “contrived samples” for their production.
Why can you test positive and then negative and then positive again on the same day?
Because the tests don’t work.
Why do ‘breakthrough cases’ turn up?Because the tests don’t work.
Why do ‘spikes’ sometimes happen during lockdowns?
Because the tests don’t work.Why can you ‘catch covid’ more than once?Because the tests don’t work.Why can you ‘have covid’ without symptoms?Because the tests don’t work.Why does covid only ‘kill’ people already dying of something else?Because the tests don’t work.Why can you test positive after getting vaxxed?Because the tests don’t work.Why can a piece of fruit have covid?Because the tests DON’T WORK.Why does all-cause mortality not show any sign of a real pandemic?Because theres isn’t one, because the killer bug is an illusion created by tests – that don’t work.
Vaccines Pass Their First Test August 7, 2021 at 7:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 35 Comments “In the first big test of Covid-19 vaccines during a Covid-19 surge, places with higher vaccination rates are dodging the worst outcomes so far, while cases and hospitalizations surge in less-vaccinated areas,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“There are more tests yet to come, including when cold weather forces people in the well-vaccinated Northeast back indoors. But as the highly contagious Delta strain tears through the country, the trends thus far suggest vaccines can turn Covid-19 into a less dangerous, more manageable disease.”
What Is Biden Waiting For? August 7, 2021 at 7:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 43 Comments Donald McNeil: “The Delta variant is making clear what the Administration should have done back in January: mandate vaccines, mandate passports and crack down on the denialists. Now time is running short. Why is it taking the Delta variant to get the Biden administration to do what it should have done in January. Why is this administration so hesitant about saving American lives? And the American economy? Confusion about mask rules is now so great that enforcement anywhere but on airplanes will be impossible.”

Senators appear on track to approve the bill, despite days of fits and starts.
“It’s a bill that would end years of gridlock in Washington and create millions of good-paying jobs, put America on a new path to win the race for the economy in the 21st century,” Biden said Friday.
Saturday’s session will launch with a crucial 60-vote hurdle at midday that will determine if the bipartisan alliance between Republicans and Democrats holds on the public works package. Ten Republicans would be needed to join all Democrats to advance it past a filibuster; more votes would follow.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has so far allowed the bill to progress, and his vote will be one to watch. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has vowed to keep senators in session until they finish.
STATE WATCHAugust 07, 2021 - 07:51 AM EDTUnvaccinated account for nearly all COVID-19 deaths in Alabama: health
An Alabama state health official on Friday revealed that nearly all of the COVID-19 deaths in the state were among people who were not vaccinated against the virus.
State Health Officer Scott Harris told The Associated Press that just 26 of Alabama's 11,600 COVID-19 deaths were people who were fully vaccinated, and almost 2,000 COVID-19 patients currently being treated in state hospitals are unvaccinated.
“I think it’s correct to say that we wouldn’t see these kinds of numbers if we had more people vaccinated,” Harris said. “Again, the case numbers are being driven by people that aren’t vaccinated, which is unfortunate.”
People who cause people to refuse to get vaccinated are killing people every day,!
“This is the future of the Republican Party,” tweeted Guerrero, who has also written about Miller’s days as a high school student in Santa Monica and his “well-documented plan to make America white.”
The other development was a little more, shall we say, on the nose: This week, Fox News star Tucker Carlson hosted his show from Budapest, Hungary, where authoritarian leader Viktor Orban has decimated press freedom, consolidated his influence over public universities and cemented a semi-permanent governing majority through electoral subterfuge (which should remind us of an anti-democratic political movement a little closer to home). Any reasonable commentator or reporter (and there was a time when Carlson was that) would take this as an opportunity to press the autocrat over his flagrant illiberalism, if only as a professional courtesy to Hungary’s beleaguered journalists.
But no. This is what Carlson said when he began his week in Budapest, in the stark language favored by would-be tyrants in search of an enemy: “If you care about Western civilization and democracy and families, and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by the leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here right now.” Carlson wasn’t holding Hungary up as a cautionary tale for the United States, but rather as what the right could achieve if it subdued the left.
It’s tempting to dismiss the remarks of a white nationalist and a Fox News commentator as too far outside the mainstream to take seriously; doing so might even be fashionable among journalists loath to appear excitable. But Miller and Carlson are extraordinarily consequential figures on the right — Miller gloms onto whichever person happens to be the most prominent racist policymaker at the moment (he was with then-Sen. Jeff Sessions before Trump), and Carlson hosts the most-watched show on cable news. Taken together, these events present a frightening picture of what the ascendant far right wants for this country. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Good morning. I’m Paul Thornton, and it is Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021. Let’s take a look back at the week in Opinion.
You might have missed it, with Donald Trump still occupying the cranial space we devote to thinking about the Republican Party. I never bought the argument that every self-aggrandizing tweet and bigoted blurt was the product of careful political calculation meant to distract us from what’s really going on, since simple explanations tend to be closer to the truth than more elaborate ones. But this week, I do believe two deeply disturbing events on the right went largely unnoticed thanks to the consensus on the left that the GOP is a Trump personality cult.
One person who did notice and promptly sounded the alarm on Twitter was our own columnist Jean Guerrero. At an event for young conservatives this week, Stephen Miller, considered the architect of Trump’s immigration policies, drew raucous applause after bragging about preventing refugees from coming to the U.S. and casting immigration as a critical threat to the character of this country. Miller’s remarks were an object lesson in the intellectual cover the right gives to white nationalism, and his audience of future Republican leaders had an opportunity to reject a vision fundamentally at odds with America’s idea of itself (and not long ago, at odds with the GOP’s idea of itself too). But when Miller took off the mask and exposed the cruelty and racism that motivated Trump administration immigration policies, his audience cheered.

Reagan is absolutely right as we've seen with the complete and blatantly unconstitutional unilateral suspension of property rights.
With that move in particular this administration is telling us that our Constitution does not matter, they will do whatever the fuck they want whenever they want, those who oppose them will be labelled as domestic terrorists, and if we really protest too much and get out of hand, they'll turn their Stasi-FBI on us and lock us up indefinitely with no due process.
Trump did exactly NONE of the fascist, totalitarian, Hitlerian things he was accused of, while this administration is doing or contemplating ALL of these things, with the leftists cheering them on.
Allyson Felix Wins Bronze In 400 To Become Olympics’ Most Decorated Female Track Athlete
The U.S. legend captured her 10th career Olympic medal during the Tokyo games.
By Ron Dicker
08/06/2021 09:11 AM
Allyson Felix further cemented her Olympic greatness at the Tokyo games, finishing third in the 400-meter race on Friday.
Shaunae Miller-Uibo of Bahamas won in 48.36 seconds and Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic was second in 49.20. Felix’s time was 49.46 ― just a few ticks behind her personal best of 49.26.
Felix’s bronze medal ― the 10th Olympic medal she has won in her storied career ― felt more like a coronation. She vaulted past Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey to become the most decorated female track athlete in Summer Games history, and is now tied with U.S. legend Carl Lewis.
Felix, 35, began her Olympic career at age 18 and has steadily accumulated hardware. She won one medal in 2004, two in 2008, three in 2012 and three in 2016.
She has a chance to pass Lewis’ count in the 4x400 relay on Saturday. Paavo Nurmi of Finland holds the all-time track medals record with 12, according to NBC.
This was Felix’s first Olympics since becoming a mom. She gave birth to daughter Camryn via an emergency C-section in 2018 after a pregnancy that put both of them at risk. The baby weighed 3.2 lbs she later accused Nike of attempting to severely cut her pay in contract negotiations after she became a mother.
She has started her own business.
She is still competitive at 35!
The Chief General Milly said that he saw Trump trying to overturn the election.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board said that electric cars are another Welfare System.
The companies hope to lower EV costs over time through economies of scale in manufacturing. This is another reason they are begging for government subsidies to increase sales. But auto makers don’t want to drive the electric highway alone because then they could lose money while others churn out profits. The solution? Collusion with the Biden Administration to regulate competition across the industry and raise prices for consumers.
***
Auto makers have been touting their increasing EV sales and claim electric cars are the “future.” Great. Then government doesn’t need to subsidize them. Steve Jobs never asked the government to pay people to buy iPhones or to finance their production.
And CEOs wonder why Americans have soured on big business. This isn’t capitalism. It’s corporate socialism, or state capitalism. We hope these corporate titans enjoy their new government “partners.” Maybe they can put Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on the corporate board.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., suggested at a recent Republican fundraiser in Alabama that Southerners could threaten President Joe Biden's "police state friends" with guns if they show up at their homes asking about their coronavirus vaccination status.
The late-July event in Dothan was closed to the media, but a video clip of some of her comments leaked, according to the Alabama Political Reporter.
“You lucky people here in Alabama might get a knock on your door, because I hear Alabama might be one of the most unvaccinated states,” Greene told the crowd, prompting cheers and applause over the state's low vaccination rate. “Well, Joe Biden wants to come talk to you guys. He's going to be sending one of his police state friends to your front door to knock on the door, take down your name, your address, your family members' names, your phone numbers, your cellphone numbers, probably ask for your Social Security number and whether you've taken the vaccine or not.”
Hey, I know. Let's have a government leader direct our private sector on what products to produce on what schedule, with what features, on what timeline and subsidized with Mount Everest-seized piles of taxpayer money.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong???
Biden want to replace 10 million in California alone gasoline cars with Electric ones.
The 800 lbs Gorilla in the room, how to create all that electricity.
"
Drought and extremely low water levels in the Lake Oroville reservoir have forced authorities in California to shut down a major hydroelectric power plant, amid intense summer heat and peak electricity demand"
Biden said get vaccinated and end wearing the mask.
Remember that.

😆New ‘Delta Plus’ COVID Variant Detected In San Francisco Bay Area: ‘It’s At Least As Bad’ As Original😷😉

Appropriate sentence
New Jersey gym owner and Donald Trump supporter who harassed and assaulted officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty to two counts on Friday ― becoming the first Capitol attack defendant to enter a guilty plea in connection with an assault on law enforcement.
Scott Fairlamb, whose father was a New Jersey trooper and whose brother was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail, pleaded guilty to two counts: one of obstruction of an official proceeding, and one of assaulting an officer.
ADVERTISEMENT
Both counts are felonies, and the plea agreement states that the sentencing guidelines call for between 41 months minimum and 51 months maximum imprisonment. Fairlamb’s lawyer can argue for less prison time at sentencing.
Fairlamb’s attorney, Harley Breite, told HuffPost earlier this week that his client wanted to “assume responsibility for the things that he did” and “make amends for them and move on with his life.” Fairlamb has been incarcerated since his arrest in January.
He's a convicted felon. Because he followed orders by Trump.

Ch will go fucking crazier than before because it's science.
Fully vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
That’s why the CDC changed its guidance last week and is now recommending even vaccinated people wear masks indoors again, Walensky said.
Last week, the agency released a study that showed the Delta variant produced similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated people if they got infected – data that suggests vaccinated people who get a breakthrough infection could have a similar tendency to spread the virus as the unvaccinated.
“If you’re going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, to somebody who can’t get vaccinated, somebody who might be immunosuppressed or a little bit frail, somebody who has comorbidities that put them at high risk, I would suggest you wear a mask in public indoor settings,” Walensky said.
The dangerous Delta variant has fueled the country’s latest surge of Covid-19 cases and if more Americans don’t get vaccinated and mask up, the country could soon be seeing “several hundred thousand cases a day,” similar to the winter surge, Walensky said.

GOP Elite Search for a Nation to Love

Jamelle Bouie:
“Whatever its source, conservative defenses of, and even affectation for, foreign autocracies — of which enthusiasm for Orban’s Hungary is only the latest example — is too consistent to ignore.”
“At this moment in American life, it’s conservatives who have set their sights abroad. Parts of the movement have even adopted a kind of anti-Americanism, a contempt for the United States as it exists. These conservatives still call themselves ‘patriots’ — and disdain their opponents as ‘traitors’ — but theirs is an abstract loyalty to an idealized country.”
Climate change is real
GREENVILLE, Calif. — A wildfire raging in Northern California exploded in size overnight, becoming the third-largest wildfire in state history amid high temperatures and strong winds. Better weather conditions were expected to aid the firefight on Friday.
The Dixie Fire grew by 110 square miles (285 square kilometers) between Thursday night and Friday morning, making the blaze the largest wildfire currently raging in the nation.
"This is going to be a long firefight," said Capt. Mitch Matlow, spokesperson of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire was 35% contained Friday morning but was largely expanding within the perimeter firefighters previously established. It now spans an area of 676 square miles (1,751 square kilometers).
NATIONALDixie Fire Stirs Anxiety In The California Town Decimated In 2018 By The Camp Fire
On Wednesday, the fire tore through the little California mountain town of Greenville, which resident Eva Gorman said was a place of community and strong character, where neighbors volunteered to move furniture, colorful baskets of flowers brightened Main Street, and writers, musicians, mechanics and chicken farmers mingled.
Now, it's ashes.
"Our whole downtown area is gone"
As hot, bone-dry, gusty weather hit California, the fire raged through the Gold Rush-era Sierra Nevada community of about 1,000, incinerating much of the downtown that included wooden buildings more than a century old.
The Chief General Milly said that he saw Trump trying to overturn the election.

Vaccine Mandates Are More Popular as Vaccinations Rise
August 6, 2021 at 12:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Nathaniel Rakich:
“Despite prominent voices on the right giving vaccine mandates labels such as ‘Orwellian,’ they are actually pretty popular among the American public. And where they are controversial, it’s based less on partisanship than on whether the individuals have been vaccinated themselves.
“For example, Morning Consult found that 74 percent of already-vaccinated people supported company-mandated vaccines, while 54 percent of unvaccinated people opposed them.
"Interestingly, 28 percent of unvaccinated people actually supported mandatory vaccines.”
GET VACCINATED. FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS, INCLUDING NEWL ENDANGERED CHILDREN.
ITS'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO,

NEWLY ENDANGERED CHILDREN
People like you got Hitler in power because you know believe that the Democratic party is a communist party.
But history is fiction to you.
The judicial branch has saved the world from Trump and his pathological supporters.
Some, including DeSantis and Ch, are treating a return of mask mandates and shutdowns as the greater threat.
Putting a mask will make you become a Communist!
Can tell you mask-wearing and shutdowns are not popular with Floridians. In fact they consider shutdowns and mask-wearing to be the grearer threat.
Floridians and DeSantis are good with vaccines.
Save our children!
With coronavirus cases rising sharply across the country, and new federal guidance that everyone, vaccinated or not, should wear masks in schools, some school districts in those states are imposing mask mandates anyway, despite the risk of financial penalties for defying the state orders.”
“In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said in an executive order last Friday that the state would take away funding from any district that infringed on ‘the fundamental right of parents to make health and educational decisions for their children’ by requiring students to wear masks.”
“But four Florida school systems — in Broward, Leon, Duval and Alachua Counties — have said they would retain or seek to impose mask mandates.”

I was an evangelical and an anti-vaxxer; here’s what changed — Essay
JULIE M. BACH
AUGUST 4, 2021 6:00 AM
Dr. Jonas Salk, pictured here, developed the polio vaccine, which has saved millions of lives. A simple story about a polio victim changed the writer’s mind. Photo courtesy of the Senator John Heinz History Center.
As hospitals again fill up with COVID-19 cases, the vaccinated are getting angrier at the unvaccinated. I get the anger. I also get what it feels like to be on the other side. Being an anti-vaxxer is a lot like being an evangelical Christian, and I’ve been both.
In the evangelical church of my adolescence, I was taught to believe we had a corner on The Truth. We had a duty to remain true to the “good news.” We accepted that we might be “persecuted” for our beliefs, but we were sure that the evidence (mainly the Bible) was entirely on our side. Our beliefs created a powerful sense of belonging. I was in the evangelical church long before social media, but the church’s vibrant youth program met all my social needs in a similar way. It was the equivalent of a Facebook bubble.
I fled from evangelicalism only to fall into another errant subculture when I was pregnant with my first child. I had been getting truly helpful care from holistic medical practitioners who, unfortunately, were convinced that vaccinations are damaging. I can scarcely believe it now, but once again I drank the Kool-Aid. The literature I absorbed — all published independently or by small presses — promised that if I raised my children “naturally,” I wouldn’t need vaccines to protect them from communicable diseases.
Like evangelicals who reject secularism, many of those who reject vaccines find identity, solidarity and even a kind of salvation in that rejection. The comments in response to infamous anti-vaxxer Christiane Northrup’s web page on vaccines are illustrative. Northrup, for years a well-respected M.D. specializing in women’s health, is now identified as one of the “disinformation dozen” by the Center for Confronting Digital Hate.
Her readers post about “an entire civilization” becoming “so ignorant.” They talk about the “wiser path,” and they thank her for “spreading the truth.” They express fears of being discriminated against. One respondent writes, “See, I was born ‘knowing.’”
Their language echoes that of evangelicals and is easy to dismiss, yet the stories they tell are of genuine anguish, of dealing with frightening illnesses that are truly hard to live with. One woman connects a friend’s flu shot in pregnancy to the child’s diagnosis of autism two years later. Sure, it sounds far-fetched, and we might feel exasperated by the misinformation, but a child with autism is a difficult thing. The kind of thing that cries out for compassion.
A liberal arts education got me out of the evangelical community. Novels like Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” dismantled a worldview that I had accepted as fact. All the literature I read and subjects I studied presented so many different realities that I came to understand how much the church had created mine, and how easily I could un-create it. I suddenly had access to the interior thoughts of literature’s great characters, who gave me a broader vision of the world.
As for vaccines, a simple story about a disabled man got me out of the anti-vaxx movement. The man in the story had contracted polio and lost the use of his legs after the vaccine became widely available. I suddenly realized the risk I was taking with my children’s health and lives.
I’m deeply embarrassed by my former participation in both movements. I can say unequivocally that I never want to be so out of touch with reality again.
At the same time, I can also say that I do have compassion for those who today choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19. I know from experience that they are feeding themselves such a steady and complete diet of falsehoods that they not only can’t absorb the science, they can’t work out the basic common sense that easily informs other areas of their lives.
I also know that once you dig beneath the bravado of certainty, falsehoods are a very scary place to live. If the rest of the world doesn’t buy your beliefs, or if some of their competing arguments jibe with your own common sense, then on some level you can’t help wondering if you’re wildly wrong. And if you are, what are the implications?
I don’t want to suggest that I’m never angry at vaccine refusal. I’m currently living with chronic fatigue syndrome; I’m scared to death that even a mild bout of COVID could exacerbate my symptoms and cause a layering of long COVID over the fatigue I already suffer. I’m angry that my college-age daughter will have to once again restrict her activities at school this fall. I’m angry that my 86-year-old mother with a history of heart problems is growing depressed about a return to a sequestered life.
I honestly don’t know whether anger or compassion (or doses of both) will get us to a fully vaccinated world. Anger tends to make people dig in their heels. But, on the other hand, compassion is slow medicine, and we don’t have a lot of time. People are dying right now. People are living with long COVID right now. And more will be infected and die as the Delta variant spreads and other variants inevitably crop up.
Also, I’m not sure how compassion works when it’s directed toward people who disdain it. To be compassionate means to “suffer with.” Evangelicals and anti-vaxxers don’t feel they’re suffering; they think we’re suffering.
So what’s the answer? We’re moving toward mandates — for which there is ample precedent — but they may be a two-edged sword. Mandates will undoubtedly prevent suffering when skeptics get vaccinated. They may also cause suffering — though presumably not death — when people who still refuse vaccination lose jobs or relationships or are further alienated from sound medical treatments.
I’d like to think education could help. But all that wisdom I got from the likes of Alice Walker during my college education occurred far from home, which allowed me to leave my evangelical identity behind and forge a new path. Few people have such a luxury, even if they want it.
The media also play a key role: Americans embraced the polio vaccine partly because children in wheelchairs, on crutches, and in iron lungs were so tragically visible. Similarly, we need more graphic documentation of the costs of COVID. It sounds horrible, I know, but I think we need to see COVID patients on ventilators and struggling to recover. Health care privacy law rightly prevents hospitals from documenting the suffering without patient consent, but could more patients be persuaded to share their experiences in photos, audio and video?
In the end, I come back to the idea of story, like “The Color Purple” and the story I read about the man disabled by polio.
Here’s where I think compassion may play a role. I left evangelicalism and the community of anti-vaxxers because of stories that were well told, impactful and true in a way that goes far beyond facts. Those stories changed my life — twice. Perhaps compassion in the case of vaccine hesitancy means telling and sharing stories that take us right to the fortress of fears and lies, stories that keep us pinned there, sharing and telling, until something shifts.
Yawn...
So many plagiarisms, so little time.
LOL @ the tranny daddy alky.

He is an isolationist.

Biden & Kamala have trouble with basic math. In one year they’ve said:
• 350 million have been vaccinated in the United States
• 200 million have died from COVID in the United States
• 220 million have died from COVID in the United States
• 150 million killed by gun violence in the United States
The US population is 330 million.

It’s frustratingly typical for conservatives to fraudulently cloak themselves in the mantle of Abraham Lincoln and the Union. But what Fox News host Ben Domenech did on Tuesday night -- describing the progressive left as “the inheritor” of “slave power” with its “fixation on the hierarchy of race and caste” and his viewers as ideological descendants of the paramilitary pro-Lincoln “Wide Awakes” of 1860 -- wandered perilously close to a call for a new Civil War.
Domenech presented U.S. politics as an existential fight between “the enemies of everything this nation has ever been” and “the patriots, the Americans, the men and women who will do anything to preserve it, because they know what civilization requires.”
The host closed by directly addressing his millions of viewers. “You are the heart of a nation that has slept for so long,” he said. “But now at last, you are wide awake. So now I ask you again: What are you willing to do?” Domenech didn’t give an answer to the question -- but his rhetoric suggests that it isn’t casting votes for candidates who share your values.
Domenech is not alone. Donald Trump’s propagandists warned last year that his supporters would face apocalyptic consequences if he was not reelected. Since he left office, they have increasingly preached the benefits of living under an authoritarian strongman. Only such a figure, they suggest, can defeat their leftist foes and protect “the patriots” from the threats of multiculturalism, globalism, and the immigrant “invasion.” If the verdict of multiracial democracy results in their defeat, their solution is an end to multiracial democracy.
Tucker Carlson is broadcasting his prime-time Fox show this week from Hungary, which became a case study for how a democracy backslides toward authoritarian rule after Viktor Orbán, a Christian traditionalist and ethnonationalist, was elected prime minister in 2010. Orbán used his party’s strong majority that year to lock it into power, rewriting Hungary’s constitution, aggressively gerrymandering its parliamentary districts, and expanding its constitutional court with party loyalists. He has since taken a hammer to its civil society, persecuting universities, journalists, and dissidents while stoking fears about Muslim immigration and LGBTQ people.
Give us the stats and the role that natural immunity plays in heating the Wuhan Chins Virus.
Fox’s viewers are getting a glowing presentation of Hungary’s authoritarian nationalism. Carlson, who previously touted Orbán’s leadership, said on Monday, “If you care about western civilization and democracy and families and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here, right now.” On Wednesday, he called Hungary a “powerful” example and defended it from “lies” that its government is authoritarian.
In addition to airing his show from the country, Carlson is meeting with Orbán, speaking at a far-right conference in its capital of Budapest, and joining other U.S. conservatives who applaud Hungary’s illiberal governance as a potential model.
It’s chilling to see perhaps the most powerful figure in the right-wing media talking up the benefits of a state that is slipping out of the democratic orbit. But Carlson actually represents the moderate strain of the right’s antidemocratic discourse, praising a country whose authoritarian drift came through constitutional means while blaming the U.S. left for pushing the right toward fascism by “undermining the system that kept extremism at bay.” Further out on the fringes, discussion has turned to the merits of military coups.
Earlier this week, the Trumpist commentary site American Greatness published a piece by Christopher Roach contemplating the merits of “The Salazar Option,” a reference to António de Oliveira Salazar, the repressive Portuguese dictator who ruled for decades following a military coup that crushed Portugal’s nascent republic.
Roach praised Salazar for taking “necessary steps to preserve the economic freedom, national sovereignty, and family life on which a civilization depends.” He acknowledged that Salazar’s regime was “undoubtedly authoritarian,” but excused that as “less damaging to society than the alternative,” i.e., a republic in which the left won elections, and seemed to applaud Salazar for hurting the right people. After ominously explaining that Trump’s presidency shows the limitations of mere “electoral success,” Roach wrote that one lesson for the U.S. right is that Salazar’s movement “did not treat its enemies with kid gloves”:

GET READY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE WEEKEND
August 6, 2021 at 5:36 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 45 Comments
Punchbowl News:
“The Senate returns to session at 11 a.m. tomorrow, and there will be a cloture vote around noon to cut off debate on the 2,700-page, $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. After that, everything is up in the air as far as scheduling goes. Clear there’s sufficient support among senators to invoke cloture — clear a parliamentary hurdle — on the massive package (which is technically a substitute amendment), yet there is no endgame deal at this point.
“Absent any kind of agreement between the two sides — and Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) wouldn’t go along with such a deal Thursday night — there’ll be up to 30 hours post-cloture debate time. That will be followed by a simple majority vote on the substitute amendment (the bipartisan infrastructure bill). At that point, another cloture vote will be in order on the underlying legislation (the INVEST Act, a House-passed infrastructure measure.) Again, that may be followed by up to 30 hours of post-cloture debate time. Amendment votes would be allowed during this period. Then there would then be a vote on passage of the entire package. Yeah, it’s complicated.
“In the worst case, this final vote could happen Tuesday. We don’t believe it will go that long, but it could.”

“But the bevy of Ohio Republicans looking to replace the retiring senator in 2022 have a sharply different view. They are roundly criticizing the agreement as a budget-busting bill the US can’t afford, aligning themselves squarely with former President Donald Trump who has called on the GOP to oppose the sweeping proposal.
“In intraparty contests throughout the country, Republican candidates are lining up against the bipartisan deal — and lining up with Trump — reflecting not only the heightened partisanship in American politics but also how primaries incentivize candidates to demonstrate purity to their base voters.'

America Is Getting Back to Work, FAST!
August 6, 2021 at 4:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Times:
“America is getting back to work. That’s the simplest, clearest analysis of the labor market that emerges from nearly every line of the July employment numbers released Friday morning. It is a welcome sign that, as of the middle of last month, the economy is healing rapidly — and that the previous couple of months reflected healthier results than previously estimated.
Wall Street Journal:
“A strengthening U.S. labor market added cushion to the economic recovery in July ahead of the Delta variant threat, with employers creating jobs at the best pace in nearly a year and the unemployment rate falling sharply.”
Washington Post:
“The two reports make for two straight months when nearly 1 million jobs were added – totals that are close to the optimistic predictions many economists had last year about how vaccinations would smooth the way for the labor market recovery. Wages also continued to rise, raising by 11 cents an hour to $30.54 on average — the fourth straight month of growth. Both long-term unemployment and the number of people on temporary layoff also declined.”

COVID-19 misinformation
LanguageDownload PDFWatchEdit
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in misinformation and conspiracy theories about the scale of the pandemic and the origin, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. False information, including intentional disinformation, has been spread through social media, text messaging,[1] and mass media. False information has been propagated by celebrities, politicians, and other prominent public figures. Multiple countries have passed laws against "fake news", and thousands of people have been arrested for spreading coronavirus disease 2019 misinformation. The spread of COVID-19 misinformation by governments has also been significant.
Disinfodemic – Deciphering COVID-19 disinformation, published by UNESCO
Commercial scams have claimed to offer at-home tests, supposed preventives, and "miracle" cures.[2] Several religious groups have claimed their faith will protect them from the virus.[3] Without evidence, some people have claimed the virus is a bioweapon accidentally or deliberately leaked from a laboratory, a population control scheme, the result of a spy operation, or the side effect of 5G upgrades to cellular networks.[4]
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared an "infodemic" of incorrect information about the virus that poses risks to global health.[5] While belief in conspiracy theories is not a new phenomenon, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this can lead to adverse health effects. Cognitive biases, such as jumping to conclusions and confirmation bias, may be linked to the occurrence of conspiracy beliefs.[6] In addition to health effects, harms resulting from the spread of misinformation and endorsement of conspiracy theories include increasing distrust of news organizations and medical authorities as well as divisiveness and political fragmentation.[7]
How is herd immunity achieved?
There are two main paths to herd immunity for COVID-19 — infection and vaccines.
Natural infection
Herd immunity can be reached when enough people in the population have recovered from a disease and have developed protective antibodies against future infection.
However, there are some major problems with relying on community infection to create herd immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19:
Reinfection. It’s not clear how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have antibodies, it’s possible that you could get COVID-19 again.
Health impact. Experts estimate that in the U.S., 70% of the population — more than 200 million people — would have to recover from COVID-19 to halt the pandemic. This number of infections could lead to serious complications and millions of deaths, especially among older people and those who have existing health conditions. The health care system could quickly become overwhelmed.
Vaccines
Herd immunity also can be reached when enough people have been vaccinated against a disease and have developed protective antibodies against future infection. Unlike the natural infection method, vaccines create immunity without causing illness or resulting complications. Using the concept of herd immunity, vaccines have successfully controlled contagious diseases such as smallpox, polio, diphtheria, rubella and many others.
Herd immunity makes it possible to protect the population from a disease, including those who can't be vaccinated, such as newborns or those who have compromised immune systems.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given emergency use authorization to a handful of COVID-19 vaccines.
But reaching herd immunity through vaccination against COVID-19 might be difficult for many reasons. For example:
Vaccine hesitancy. Some people may object to getting a COVID-19 vaccine because of religious objections, fears about the possible risks or skepticism about the benefits. If the proportion of vaccinated people in a community is below the herd immunity threshold, a contagious disease could continue to spread.
Protection questions. It’s not clear how long the COVID-19 vaccines will protect you from COVID-19. Further research is needed to see how much the COVID-19 vaccines reduce transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Also, research suggests that COVID-19 vaccines may have lower efficacy against some of the variants of the COVID-19 virus. New variants, which could be more resistant to vaccines, are regularly emerging.
Uneven vaccine roll-out. The distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has greatly varied among and within countries. If one community achieves a high COVID-19 vaccination rate and surrounding areas don’t, outbreaks can occur if the populations mix.
What’s the outlook for achieving herd immunity in the U.S.?
The U.S. is currently making progress toward herd immunity through a combined approach. The number of fully vaccinated adults continues to rise. In addition, more than 31 million people in the U.S. have had confirmed infections with the COVID-19 virus — though, again, it’s not clear how long immunity lasts after infection.
Given the challenges, it’s not clear if or when the U.S. will achieve herd immunity.
However, the FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at protecting against severe illness requiring hospitalization and death due to COVID-19. Even if it isn’t currently possible to stop transmission of the COVID-19 virus, the vaccines are allowing people to better be able to live with the virus.
How can you slow the transmission of COVID-19?
When possible, get a COVID-19 vaccine. If you’re fully vaccinated, you can return to doing activities you might not have been able to do because of the pandemic, including not wearing a mask or social distancing in any setting — except where required by a rule or law.
If you haven’t had a COVID-19 vaccine, take steps to reduce the risk of infection:
Avoid close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters) with anyone who is sick or has symptoms.
Keep distance between yourself and others (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). This is especially important if you have a higher risk of serious illness. Keep in mind some people may have the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others, even if they don't have symptoms.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Wear a face mask in indoor public spaces and outdoors where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as at a crowded event or large gathering. Further mask guidance differs depending on whether you are fully vaccinated or unvaccinated. Surgical masks may be used if available. N95 respirators should be reserved for health care providers.
Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw away the used tissue.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Avoid sharing dishes, glasses, bedding and other household items if you're sick.
Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, electronics and counters, daily.
Stay home from work, school and public areas if you're sick, unless you're going to get medical care. Avoid public transportation, taxis and ride-sharing if you're sick.
Here you go KD. I see "word salad" alky got all excited he caught a misspelling. Probably made his week !!! Hope he doesn't pull a muscle puffing up that chest of his. LOL:
Had COVID? You’ll probably make antibodies for a lifetime
"Many people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 will probably make antibodies against the virus for most of their lives. So suggest researchers who have identified long-lived antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow of people who have recovered from COVID-191.
The study provides evidence that immunity triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection will be extraordinarily long-lasting. Adding to the good news, “the implications are that vaccines will have the same durable effect”, says Menno van Zelm, an immunologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
Antibodies — proteins that can recognize and help to inactivate viral particles — are a key immune defence. After a new infection, short-lived cells called plasmablasts are an early source of antibodies."
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01442-9
As Dr Paul challenged Fauci, why should he take a vaccine when he developed antibodies after his Covid infection?
Last I checked over 10,000 people have died from the vaccine and hundreds of thousand of others experienced adverse effects.
Now Biden is forcing people to take this unnecessary risk.
The bill would raise an estimated $28 billion over 10 years by updating IRS reporting requirements for cryptocurrency brokers, just as stockbrokers report their customers’ sales to the IRS.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and others who wanted to narrow the definition of who must file those IRS forms are concerned that crypto miners, software developers and others would be subject to the new reporting requirement.
Toomey warned that the provision, as written, could have a “chilling effect on the development of this technology, and that’s what I am most concerned about.”
The White House weighed in late, suggesting it favored a different approach from Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and other senators.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said the compromise amendment “would reduce tax evasion in the cryptocurrency market.”
Overall, the infrastructure bill calls for $550 billion in new spending over five years above projected federal levels for a nearly $1 trillion package, in what could be one of the more substantial investments in the nation’s roads, bridges, waterworks, broadband and the electric grid in years.
If senators wrap up work on the bipartisan bill, they will turn to the much more partisan undertaking on Biden’s agenda: a $3.5 trillion proposal for what the White House calls human infrastructure — child care support, home health care, education and other expenditures that are Democratic priorities that Republicans have pledged to reject. Debate will extend into the fall.
Schumer wants the Senate to pass both the bipartisan package and a budget blueprint for the bigger proposal before senators depart for an August recess.

Hey alky, show you can do a search yourself or don't you trust the govenments own reporting system?
Covid vaccine maker Moderna received 300,000 reports of side effects after vaccinations over a three-month period following the launch of its shot, according to an internal report from a company that helps Moderna manage the reports.
That figure is far higher than the number of side effect reports about Moderna’s vaccine publicly available in the federal system that tracks such adverse events.
Vaccine manufacturers like Moderna are legally required to forward all side effect reports they receive to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, where they are made public each week.
Run by the Centers for Disease Control and Food & Drug Administration, the VAERS system is crucial to tracking potential problems with vaccines. It helped scientists determine the Covid vaccines may cause heart problems in young adults.
The reason for the gap is not clear. Moderna may simply still be processing the reports, though the number of reports about Moderna’s vaccine in VAERS from the first half of 2021 remained almost flat this week.
Moderna and IQVIA, the company that works with Moderna to handle the reports, did not return emails for comment.
As of today’s update, VAERS contains more than 3,000 reports of deaths following Moderna vaccinations.

Ch will go crazy
Amazon.com Inc. said all workers at its hundreds of U.S. warehouses will have to wear masks starting Monday, expanding a more limited requirement in response to the resurgent Covid-19 threat posed by the Delta variant.
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States.
there have been around 143 preliminary reports of GBS identified in VAERS as of July 30.
As of July 30, 2021, VAERS has received 1,249 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine.
Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 346 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 2, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,490 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html
There has been much talk of reporting lags and understatement but the CDC itself admits to over 6,000 deaths this year. Not a small number when compared to Covid deaths and very likely contains many people who had natural immunity from previous infections.
People like roger need to be charged with actual manslaughter according to his rules

Why Won’t the Government Release Officer Fanone’s Bodycam Video?
The government used a little trick to prevent video from being formally entered into the judicial record. Federal judges played along.
By Julie Kelly
August 5, 2021
At least one federal judge handling several Capitol protest criminal cases is paying attention to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s show trial about the events of January 6.
Judge Thomas Hogan, 83, who has served on the D.C. District Court for nearly 40 years, referred to public testimony given last week by four law enforcement officers while he scolded a husband and wife over their involvement in the protest.
“[H]e begins by talking about the violence, and makes clear he listened to the police officers who testified before Congress last week about their experience, and notes the recent suicide of [a Metropolitan Police Department] officer,” Zoe Tillman, a reporter for BuzzFeed, live-tweeted during the couple’s sentencing hearing on Wednesday.
Set aside for a moment how the inflammatory and unsubstantiated accounts by those officers will taint an already highly biased jury pool in Washington, D.C. when trials begin next year; it’s clear the January 6 select committee already is influencing court proceedings. Judge Hogan, and presumably others, will take witness testimony at face value and use it as proof that Capitol defendants, even the nonviolent ones, contributed to “violence” that day.
Which is why, as we have argued repeatedly at American Greatness, the government and U.S. Capitol Police should agree to release more than 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured by security cameras on January 6. If the four-hour melee indeed compares to the worst terrorist attacks against Americans, and ranks among the worst days in U.S. history, the public deserves to see what happened, minute-by-minute, inside and outside the building.

Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection?
Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated - compared to just 1% who had been infected previously.
Coronavirus patients who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID, according to numbers presented to the Israeli Health Ministry.
Health Ministry data on the wave of COVID outbreaks which began this May show that Israelis with immunity from natural infection were far less likely to become infected again in comparison to Israelis who only had immunity via vaccination.
More than 7,700 new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave starting in May, but just 72 of the confirmed cases were reported in people who were known to have been infected previously – that is, less than 1% of the new cases.
Roughly 40% of new cases – or more than 3,000 patients – involved people who had been infected despite being vaccinated.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762
I'm sure the vaccine makers don't want people to know this. They are making tens of billions vaccinating people who don't need to be vaccinated.
And Fauci, state media and big tech work to keep this quiet.
While making boatloads of money.
And putting tens of millions of people at risk.

Of course there's always the possibility that the "vaccine" is only largely "working" for people with prior Covid exposure and we need to get to herd immunity mostly naturally.

The Former President is still trying hard to steal the next election. Despite the failed coup on January 6th.
The 2020 fight over the independent state legislature doctrine was a close call. It would not be at all surprising to see at least five or perhaps all six conservative justices embrace the argument next time it comes before the court in a timely way.
It’s easy to picture how this might play out in the next presidential election. Imagine that a state legislature sets forth general rules for conducting the 2024 election, but it does not provide every detail about how the election is run. Republican legislatures in states won by the Democratic candidate could seize on some normal election administration rule created by a state or local election administrator or some ruling from a state court, and argue that implementation of the rule renders the presidential election unconstitutional, leaving it to the state legislature to pick a different slate of electors.
Now maybe the courts won’t bite on this theory—in 2020, Justice Kavanaugh seemed wary of the argument because it came very late in the process. But it might not take court involvement to create chaos and try to flip election results. A state legislature dominated by Republicans in a state won by Democrats could simply meet and declare that local administrators or courts have deviated from the legislature’s own rules, and therefore the legislature will take matters into its own hands and choose its own slate of electors.
Should Republicans control Congress in early 2024, they could well accept these arguments as they count Electoral College votes, even as such arguments were rejected by a Democratic-led Congress (over the objections of well over 100 Republican members of Congress) in 2020. They might try to count the votes from the state legislature rather than votes reflecting the people’s will. The independent state legislature argument—which would essentially overturn U.S. elections to make the loser the winner—would have an air of respectability that would not depend upon a claim that the election was rife with fraud or stolen, but that the actions of the state’s governor, or courts, or election administrators violated the Constitution by usurping the legislature’s rights. Again, all of this is scarily plausible.
The Jan. 6 insurrection, and Trump’s actions trying to change the electoral college votes in five states, was an attempted coup built on the Big Lie of voter fraud. But the potential coup next time will come in neatly filed legal briefs and arguments quoting Thomas Jefferson and wrapped in ancient precedents and purported constitutional textualism. It will be no less pernicious.

Alabama Crowd Cheers State’s Low Vaccination Rate

“Recently surfaced video
from a July political fundraiser in Alabama featuring Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) showed attendees CHEERING when the GOP lawmaker pointed out that the state had one of the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the country,” The Hill reports.
A day in August may be the next January 6th.
The Department of Homeland Security said Friday they have observed "an increasing but modest level of activity online" by people who are calling for violence in response to baseless claims of 2020 election fraud and related to the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated.
"Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized," according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News.

There is no evidence that shows there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Covid Lies become evident
Repeat after me: “The PCR tests don’t work!”
PCR tests don’t work to diagnose infection we keep accepting all the statistics that are produced as a result of assuming PCR tests diagnose infection.
We say – “0h wow, covid numbers rising despite the lockdown”
Or “massive spike in people getting covid in THIS care home despite precautions”.
Or “look the ‘vax’ doesn’t work because people who get it still catch covid”
.No. Wrong. They’re not “covid numbers”, they’re positive-test numbers. It’s not a spike in people ‘getting Covid’ in the care home, it’s a spike of people testing positive. The people who get the vax don’t “still catch covid”, they still test positive.
And the reason why these ‘anomalies’ happen, the reason why vaxxed people can still test positive, etc etc is the same reason a papaya can test positive – because the PCR tests don’t work.
The PCR tests don’t work.
The CDC says that the 59 different PCR tests on the market can’t have their performance` compared…because they all used different “contrived samples” for their production.
Why can you test positive and then negative and then positive again on the same day?
Because the tests don’t work.
Why do ‘breakthrough cases’ turn up?Because the tests don’t work.
Why do ‘spikes’ sometimes happen during lockdowns?
Because the tests don’t work.Why can you ‘catch covid’ more than once?Because the tests don’t work.Why can you ‘have covid’ without symptoms?Because the tests don’t work.Why does covid only ‘kill’ people already dying of something else?Because the tests don’t work.Why can you test positive after getting vaxxed?Because the tests don’t work.Why can a piece of fruit have covid?Because the tests DON’T WORK.Why does all-cause mortality not show any sign of a real pandemic?Because theres isn’t one, because the killer bug is an illusion created by tests – that don’t work.

“In the first big test of Covid-19 vaccines during a Covid-19 surge, places with higher vaccination rates are dodging the worst outcomes so far, while cases and hospitalizations surge in less-vaccinated areas,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“There are more tests yet to come, including when cold weather forces people in the well-vaccinated Northeast back indoors. But as the highly contagious Delta strain tears through the country, the trends thus far suggest vaccines can turn Covid-19 into a less dangerous, more manageable disease.”

STATE WATCHAugust 07, 2021 - 07:51 AM EDTUnvaccinated account for nearly all COVID-19 deaths in Alabama: health
An Alabama state health official on Friday revealed that nearly all of the COVID-19 deaths in the state were among people who were not vaccinated against the virus.
State Health Officer Scott Harris told The Associated Press that just 26 of Alabama's 11,600 COVID-19 deaths were people who were fully vaccinated, and almost 2,000 COVID-19 patients currently being treated in state hospitals are unvaccinated.
“I think it’s correct to say that we wouldn’t see these kinds of numbers if we had more people vaccinated,” Harris said. “Again, the case numbers are being driven by people that aren’t vaccinated, which is unfortunate.”
People who cause people to refuse to get vaccinated are killing people every day,!
Don't say that you were not warned.
“This is the future of the Republican Party,” tweeted Guerrero, who has also written about Miller’s days as a high school student in Santa Monica and his “well-documented plan to make America white.”
The other development was a little more, shall we say, on the nose: This week, Fox News star Tucker Carlson hosted his show from Budapest, Hungary, where authoritarian leader Viktor Orban has decimated press freedom, consolidated his influence over public universities and cemented a semi-permanent governing majority through electoral subterfuge (which should remind us of an anti-democratic political movement a little closer to home). Any reasonable commentator or reporter (and there was a time when Carlson was that) would take this as an opportunity to press the autocrat over his flagrant illiberalism, if only as a professional courtesy to Hungary’s beleaguered journalists.
But no. This is what Carlson said when he began his week in Budapest, in the stark language favored by would-be tyrants in search of an enemy: “If you care about Western civilization and democracy and families, and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by the leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here right now.” Carlson wasn’t holding Hungary up as a cautionary tale for the United States, but rather as what the right could achieve if it subdued the left.
It’s tempting to dismiss the remarks of a white nationalist and a Fox News commentator as too far outside the mainstream to take seriously; doing so might even be fashionable among journalists loath to appear excitable. But Miller and Carlson are extraordinarily consequential figures on the right — Miller gloms onto whichever person happens to be the most prominent racist policymaker at the moment (he was with then-Sen. Jeff Sessions before Trump), and Carlson hosts the most-watched show on cable news. Taken together, these events present a frightening picture of what the ascendant far right wants for this country. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Good morning. I’m Paul Thornton, and it is Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021. Let’s take a look back at the week in Opinion.
You might have missed it, with Donald Trump still occupying the cranial space we devote to thinking about the Republican Party. I never bought the argument that every self-aggrandizing tweet and bigoted blurt was the product of careful political calculation meant to distract us from what’s really going on, since simple explanations tend to be closer to the truth than more elaborate ones. But this week, I do believe two deeply disturbing events on the right went largely unnoticed thanks to the consensus on the left that the GOP is a Trump personality cult.
One person who did notice and promptly sounded the alarm on Twitter was our own columnist Jean Guerrero. At an event for young conservatives this week, Stephen Miller, considered the architect of Trump’s immigration policies, drew raucous applause after bragging about preventing refugees from coming to the U.S. and casting immigration as a critical threat to the character of this country. Miller’s remarks were an object lesson in the intellectual cover the right gives to white nationalism, and his audience of future Republican leaders had an opportunity to reject a vision fundamentally at odds with America’s idea of itself (and not long ago, at odds with the GOP’s idea of itself too). But when Miller took off the mask and exposed the cruelty and racism that motivated Trump administration immigration policies, his audience cheered.

Hey roger
Have you dug up the number of deaths from the vaccine yet from the government site?
Yesterday you claimed my count was misinformation while I supplied you the site as well as an official CDC number with the link.
You were spreading misinformation
You said that people that do that concerning the vaccine should be charged with manslaughter
Have you been charged yet or did you do the right thing and turn yourself in?
You should at least correct your misinformation you were spreading
But after so many years of spreading lies I see that may be tough for you and your ilk.
Of course you are limited to being fed information from FAKE NEWS and big tech.
And traitors like Fauci
in case you already forgot the vaccines have killed over 6,000 people already
at least
many more are suspected of that but are deaths WITH the vaccine but not considered FROM the vaccine.
Unlike how Covid deaths were counted.
and since the Covid deaths were so questionably counted many people no longer trust government numbers.
Kind of like blaming Republicans for not being vaccinated. While the true demographic is blacks and minorities.
And counting deaths of the unvaccinated as if they were current. How many Alabama Covid deaths occurred when the vaccine was not yet available ?
Why is that number being included now when releasing percentages?
Obviously to scare and mislead
Misinformation from the left, big tech the government and FAKE NEWS
Why is alky continuing to spread misinformation and misleading information?
TDS, mental illness, a combination of both ?
Or just the inability to think for himself.
Still waiting for an update from him on vaccine deaths, he has the link

OUTSTANDING THREAD with examples:
https://twitter.com/BryanDeanWright/status/1423052825920106496
COVID vaccine passports and mandates aren’t an academic issue for me.
They are a matter of life or death, especially if my Govt effectively forces me to take the vaccine or be purged from society.
Let me explain why.
Last December, I came down with COVID.
It was a modest sickness, as science would have forecasted.
I wasn’t obese, not over 65, and had no other co-morbidities.
I should have sailed through the sickness without complication.
Shortly after recovering, an artery in my neck began to split.
Doctors were confused. It was spontaneous; no injury proceeded it.
The uncertain view was I had a rare — and unexplainable — COVID injury.
I went in for emergency surgery, got a stent, and started blood thinners.
Out of surgery, I asked my doctor about getting the COVID vaccine.
He was unequivocal: do not get it. I had natural immunity, he explained. The vaccine would give me no additional known benefit.
In fact, it could be injurious.
The high dose of blood thinners, he explained, combined with worrying reports of rare vascular issues caused by the vaccine put me at an unknown risk.
With natural immunity, there was no reason to take that risk. No need to take the vaccine.
That was February 2021.
Yesterday I got good news: the stent was performing brilliantly.
I also learned bad news: the Biden Regime and numerous cities were moving swiftly to enact vaccine mandates and passports.
Yet my doc’s counsel remained the same: I have natural immunity + risk is too great.
Now I face a threat more grave than COVID:
Skull Submit to my Govt’s demand to vaccinate, and risk fatal complications.
Man shrugging Refuse the vaccine but potentially lose my job, income, home, and a country where I can enjoy life freely.
It doesn’t matter that doctors and science are on my side.
Natural immunity is just as good — if not superior — to vaccines.
A recent NIH-funded study made that clear.

The only thing that matters — to the Biden Regime & his sycophants — is making my life miserable.
No, seriously. That’s the goal.
They want to make life for unvaccinated people so miserable & unbearable that they comply.
This issue is massively important for not just me, but the country.
Why?
Because the number of people with natural immunity is massive.
Over 100M Americans have had COVID as of July 2021 (per CDC data).
That’s nearly 1/3 of the nation.
Should these 100M get vaccinated?
Not my call. Or the Govts.
Recovered patients should talk to their doc about the NIH-funded study. Then decide.
Should people without natural immunity get vaccinated?
Again, not my call. Or the Govts.
These people should talk to their doctors about their individual risk.
Generally, though, people who are 65+ or obese should strongly consider it, along with other therapeutics.
But we’re past the point of logic, reason, and nuance, aren’t we?
That’s because none of this is about good public health policy.
What is it about?
To me, it’s clear: The Biden Regime & the Left want unfettered power, and they need a compliant populace to get it.
I base this dark assessment on Biden & Co inflaming the passions of their Leftist supporters.
The unvaccinated are the problem, Biden will say. They are bad, selfish, dumb.
Worse than the virus itself, no doubt.
Leftist followers are listening. Closely.
As a former CIA officer, I’ve seen regimes do this abroad — use a crisis to secure & advance their power.
And I know the horrors that come next if we don’t stop them:
Dissenters will be purged. Slowly at first. Then quickly. And by all means necessary.
My bottom line message to
@JoeBiden
is simple:
Do not force me and millions of others to take a vaccine that science says we do not need — and may cause grave injury.
We have natural immunity.
If you insist, however, understand this:
We will #resist.
The extreme right wing terrorists believe that the Delta variance is a very hoax to mandate masking and immunizations.

Highly Vaccinated States Keep Worst Covid-19 Outcomes in Check as Delta Spreads, WSJ Analysis Shows Variant has driven up U.S. cases, but hospitalizations and deaths have risen more slowly in areas with more vaccinations.
I will provide the link.
The graphs show the states with low immunized rates are heartbreaking...
The Republicans are killing themselves!

Covid Outbreak Hits Carnival Cruise Despite Every Guest & Staff Being Vaccinated
ZERO unvaccinated aboard. It goes against the narrative that the reason for “breakthrough cases” is too many unvaccinated people.
A strict face mask policy was implemented.

luckily the virus appears to be mutating to a less virulent strain as they normally do.
Something that the left appears to think is a bad thing
Higher transmission, less virulent should make this latest outbreak be over fairly quickly and with less pain.
Unless China releases something new.
But scare tactics are what runs the Biden administration, just look at the "insurrection"
Banana Republic
state media
The Lie of the Day
" millions of good-paying jobs"

Actual analysis prove that to be faults.
luckily the virus appears to be mutating to a less virulent strain as they normally do.
