in Democratic blue states, according to an analysis of data by The Washington Post.
The Post said the analysis reveals the “inescapable overlap of pandemic and politics.”
In a single, obvious example, of 54,000 people who have died since late June, 2021 in the latest wave of COVID-19, nearly one in five has died in Florida, where GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis battles against wearing masks. So a state with just 6% of the nation’s population accounts for 18% of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths this summer, the Post reported Friday.
But it’s far more than that. Across the nation, it’s “obvious that there’s an overlap of vaccination rates, party identity and pandemic outcomes that intertwines the discussion about the pandemic with partisan politics,” noted reporter Philip Bump. “We see that red states are doing much worse relative to the country on the whole than are blue states.”
George W. Bush appeared at Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to honor those who died on 9/11. It was an interesting speech, but not necessarily in a good way. He told the veterans of America’s long wars that their sacrifices weren’t in vain, an obviously false statement now that Biden has given Afghanistan itself and U.S. hi-tech weapons valued at $83B to the Taliban. More provocatively, Bush said that Islamic violent extremists are the same as domestic violent extremists when it comes to their “disregard of human life.” The big question is whether Bush was referring to Antifa and BLM or to the January 6 protesters—and, interestingly, everybody assumes he was speaking about the latter.
To Bush’s credit, after the Islamist attack on the Twin Towers, he handled the immediate aftermath with dignity and fortitude. He was also correct to want to bring the war to those who attacked us.
After that, though, Bush was wrong in so many ways. I’ll refrain from blaming him for the fake intelligence about Iraq’s WMDs or the Pakistan-related realpolitik that seems to have prevented anyone from delivering a death blow to the Taliban.
Bush, however, was wrong to believe that we could democratize Muslim countries through warfare. He misunderstood the examples of Nazi Germany and Bushido Japan. In those cases, we completely flattened the countries as a predicate to rebuilding them in a more democratic mode and we stuck around for more than seven decades. Additionally, both those countries were modern nations when the war began, making rebuilding easier.
At home, Bush’s “compassionate conservativism” too often veered into Democrat-lite policies, but he did try—and, like Trump, he was the victim of an irredeemably hostile media that convinced many Americans that he was a failure at everything. The most memorable example was Hurricane Katrina, to which Bush responded very well, but the media insisted his response was a disaster. (Meanwhile, the media are completely silent about Biden’s abandonment of those in Louisiana who just suffered another devastating
Bush lost significant support from his base after his presidency when he suddenly became besties with the Obamas. On the one hand, it was nicely ecumenical. On the other hand, given that Barack Obama wasn’t just a traditional Democrat but was, instead, attacking America at her foundations, that was an awful lot like sleeping with the enemy.

Things really went downhill, though, when George Bush sided with Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020 against Trump. Regardless of his personal feelings about Trump, Bush knew that Hillary was an utterly corrupt hard leftist. He should have taken a stand against his father’s support for her but he didn’t. Moreover, by 2020, he knew that Trump had governed as a true conservative and that Biden was not only as corrupt as Hillary but was also stupid (with an increasing dollop of dementia) but he refused to endorse Trump, thereby tacitly endorsing Biden.
With that history of backing his leftist Deep State buddies over America, we saw George W. Bush was a Deep State, Vichy Republican. It’s scarcely surprising, then, that when George W. Bush spoke about domestic extremists but didn’t name names everyone assumed he was speaking about a cohort of unarmed, middle-aged and elderly people who, deeply frustrated by a manifestly irregular election (and probably encouraged by leftist provocateurs), did exactly what leftists have always done, and entered the Capitol to complain.
Bush’s exact words were as follows:
There's little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard of human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.

Considering that the January 6 protesters killed no one and destroyed nothing, the words are inapposite to them. They apply perfectly to BLM and Antifa, groups that tore down monuments, looted and torched buildings, brutally attacked law enforcement, and left almost two dozen people dead. But still, most believed Bush gave the back of his hand to Trump supporters. Conservatives believed that:
And the media believed that. The Daily Mail made the same assumption, writing that Bush’s words were “an apparent reference to both the 9/11 hijackers and the January 6 Capitol rioters.” A widely syndicated New York Daily News report had as its lede, “Former President George W. Bush used the occasion of a 9/11 speech to take a thinly-veiled slam at the Jan. 6 insurrectionists and other U.S. political extremists.” USA Today had the same take:
Former President George W. Bush compared domestic and foreign extremists Saturday, seeming to liken the insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to the 9/11 hijackers and calling on Americans to confront the growing threats from both groups.
Again, Bush didn’t say a word about which homegrown extremists he meant. But the media can think of only one—because the riots, arson, destruction, and death in 2020 were “mostly peaceful—while Trump supporters understand that Bush is and was always a creature of the monoparty, permanent governing class. We supported him and he stabbed us in the back. What a pathetic piece of work he turned out to be.
Funny James, that even W is smart enough to see the GOP train wreck, unlike any of the slurpers here who think the texas law ia a winning strategy for taking back the house!!!!!!!
Tim Young https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1436750809530765314 The more I hear from George W Bush, the more I realize there was never really a choice in presidential elections in my lifetime until 2016.
Lumping 75 million unvaccinated into one category is partisanship, not science.
His approach is wedge politics. It will provoke confrontations with red-state governors and old-school civil libertarians. It will rile up anti-vax nuts, who will be portrayed as ordinary GOPers. It does not faintly resemble any strategy you would adopt if your goal was to improve Covid outcomes quickly and efficiently.
It’s long past time to stop lying about the Biden administration. The political calendar, with the midterms still a year away and 2024 three years off, is why he wanted a fast-and-dirty Afghan exit while he could still exploit his honeymoon privilege of putting all blame on his predecessors.
His vaccine announcement is more of a piece with his recurrent practice of whipping up the “white supremacist menace” to distract the left than any useful approach to improving Covid outcomes.
In regard to political cynicism, the Biden administration is not more meritorious than average; it is perhaps slightly less so, as you might expect from a politician with Mr. Biden’s history and character.
By the looks of it, Republican attacks on masks and COVID-19 vaccines don’t seem to be particularly healthy for people living in red states
Funny, no one attacked the use of vaccines. In fact it's use was encourage.
The only political figure who question the point of taking vaccines is president Biden when he said "we have to protect the vaccinated against the unvaccinated."
Isn't that what the vaccine is suppose to do? Protect you against the unvaccinated.
And if the vaccinated need protection against the unvaccinated, what is the point of getting the vaccine.
If they truly want people to get vaccinated then they should reverse the guidance that require the vaccinated to wear masks and follow other COVID-19 restrictions. Include wearing mask on airplanes.
By the looks of it, Republican attacks on masks and COVID-19 vaccines don’t seem to be particularly healthy for people living in red states.

BWAAAAAAAA!!!!! WHAT VACUUM DO YOU LIVE IN????? You and your side attacking the mandates are a good place to start...Asa Hutchinson saying the vaccine mandates for schools being a state issue is absolute bullshit...Sad cramps it is your stupid side driving the hesitancy that came from the top .....!!!
Sixty-five-year-old Michael Karr lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He's a supporter of former President Donald Trump. And while he's eligible to receive the vaccine, he's still not sure if he will.
What's the hesitancy there? Michael Karr:
I have never had the flu vaccine. I'm 65 years old. Probably should be getting the flu vaccine, but I don't. Am I chancing it? Yes, probably. But I just have never taken the vaccine before. Didn't really see the need for it. I'm kind of in that same boat with COVID-19.
Can't fix this massive amount of stupid.....!!!!!!
Members of Congress and Their Staff Are Exempt From Biden's Vaccine Mandate
President Joe Biden's new vaccine mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system.
[...]
The New York Times reported on Thursday that the executive order doesn't apply to those who work for Congress or the federal courts, citing White House officials.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference on April 29 that the House couldn't require members to be vaccinated. Video clips of those remarks gained renewed attention online following Biden's announcement.
"So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't," Pelosi said.
"I can't go to the Capitol Physician and say, 'Give me the names of people who aren't vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.' So we can't—we can't do that," she said.
Pelosi's office reiterated that position in a statement to Newsweek on Friday, saying the speaker's April 29 remarks were "referring to the institution in which she serves."
"She's saying she cannot force Members to be vaccinated, which is true," the statement said.
Child Covid deaths more than doubled in Florida as kids returned to the classroom

Florida reached another grim Covid milestone amid the Delta surge: Since August, the number of Covid-related child deaths in the state has more than doubled.
The childhood fatalities have left pediatric experts deeply concerned about how the virus will affect youngsters in the months ahead as children interact in classrooms
The deaths also pose a political threat to Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of his 2022 reelection bid. The GOP governor has built a national reputation for resisting coronavirus restrictions and has spent weeks fighting against school districts that want to require students to wear masks in schools.
A POLITICO analysis of weekly Covid-19 reports from the Florida Department of Health shows that 10 children under the age of 16 died from Covid-19 from July 30 to present as the Delta variant — which is much more transmissible — became the dominant strain. Previously, a total of seven kids died from the virus from the beginning of the pandemic through July, amounting to a span of more than 15 months.
Erielle Davidson https://twitter.com/politicalelle/status/1436308891990700043 The irony of Biden firing McMaster and others within the military/education space—and not *anyone* involved with the Afghanistan fiasco—tells you how corrupt our regime is. Simply unacceptable.
I forgot. The only people Biden fired were highly qualified people in oversight roles over the military who could hold them accountable but didn't share Biden's political beliefs.
A staggering number of people died because Biden wanted the Afghanistan withdrawal to coincide with 9/11 so he could spike the football.
If it wasn't for the fact that 13 brave American solders and hundreds and counting Afghan citizens died for the political fortune of one Joe Biden, the blowback on his administration would have been gratifying.
More kids shot in Chicago than have died of COVID-19 across US this year
Abjectly stupid comparison from our short gop slurper from Ga......no surprise there!!!!! BTW.....haven't you bragged covid is not dangerous to kids and now comparing them dying to gunshots.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The Chinese Communist party is in negotiations with the Taliban to obtain mineral rights to rare earth deposits in Afghanistan. They are also negotiating a status of forces agreement to occupy Bagram Air base.

Bush gave a speech on 9/11 today and all I heard was that guys like me - who went to war under him AND his father - were a terrorist threat to our country.
He's trash and I'm done with him and his whole cabal.
The Chinese Communist party is in negotiations with the Taliban to obtain mineral rights to rare earth deposits in
Well good for them with them the leading exporter of rare earth minerals!!!! Trying to tie up all supply is a brilliant strategy.....nothing like the devil making a deal with the devil!!! I am not sure there is much of that material in that shit hole country....but there is much speculation it might be there, but has yet to be found....
Commonsense said... The Chinese Communist party is in negotiations with the Taliban to obtain mineral rights to rare earth deposits in Afghanistan. They are also negotiating a status of forces agreement to occupy Bagram Air base.
Dayum fucked up thief....the complaint yesterday was he did not attend any events......Did you hear the embarrassing remarks trump made yesterday......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Biden showed utmost respect and showed all what a great leader he can be by going to all 4 sacred sites where americans passed 20 years ago.....Trump called a boxing match!!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Oh... and can't put two sentences together for a chain of thought!
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! And now Lil Schitty is pushing polls on elections 3 years out with one candidate that may be in jail sooner than later.......LOLOLOLOL Your bias is blinding you, Lil Schitty .....
The Bush supporters have been gaslighted by Trump and Scott.
George Bush On America's day of trial and grief I saw millions of people instinctively grab for a neighbor's hand and rally to the cause of one another. That is the America I know. At a time when religious bigotry might have flowed freely, I saw Americans reject prejudice and embrace people of Muslim faith.
That is the nation I know.
At a time when nativism could have stirred hatred and violence against people perceived as outsiders, I saw Americans reaffirm their welcome to immigrants and refugees.
That is the nation I know.
At a time when some viewed the rising generation as individualistic and decadent, I saw young people embrace an ethic of service and rise to selfless action.
That is the nation I know.
Predictably, MAGAWorld was triggered.
Josh Jordan @NumbersMuncher
It's amazing to watch conservatives go after George W. Bush on 9/11 because he called out the Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol.
Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC
I remember when Bush declared war on Iraq and we went in and just a couple weeks into that conflict he passed down a rule that we had to take our American flags down off our Amtracs. So yes, George Bush has been a skid mark on this nation for some time. And remains so. https://t.co/2m09XrkJRj
Republicans overwhelmingly back former President Donald Trump as the leader of their party but are split about whether he should be their standard-bearer in 2024, a new poll released Sunday shows.
Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say – by 63 percent to 37 percent – that Trump should continue to be the leader of the Republican Party, a CNN survey found.
When asked whether Trump should top the ticket in 2024, 51 percent said his presence would help Republicans reclaim the White House, but 48 percent said they believe the party would fare better with another nominee.
In March 2019, 78 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said the GOP had a better chance to win the White House if Trump was the nominee in 2024 compared to the 17 percent who opted for another candidate.
Among those who believe the GOP stands a better chance with Trump as the nominee are 53 percent of men, 48 percent of women and 53 percent people of color, the poll found.
But 51 percent of women said the party should go with another nominee.
The survey also found that 59 percent of whites without a college degree back a 2024 Trump run, while only 32 percent of whites with a college degree think so.
Trump hasn’t announced whether he’s going to run for president in 2024, but asked directly while visiting firefighters and police near the Trump Tower on Saturday, he said: “I think you’re going to be very happy.”
Couple of interesting things. Educated white men and women are skeptical about Trump running for a second term. They are the most likely consumers of the anti-Trump press. However they still want him as party leader.
Uneducated white men and people of color are enthusiastic about Trump leading the party and running for President in 2024. I believe these two groups have more interest in common than any other demographic group.
The way it looks now that if Biden is still alive and runs for president look for him to get slaughter by Trump in 2024 Trump already leads Biden in head to head presidential polls and it will only get worse for Biden. (Also look for him to dump Harris as a running mate in 2024. She's nothing but a liability.)
Don't be too surprised if Democrat operatives try to get Biden to retire and not run in 2024. They see what we're all seeing and they know they can not longer hide his advance dementia.
However no matter who the Democrats run in 2024 Trump should win with a 60% landslide. We will see massive defections from the Democrat party to independents for people of color and the more conservative white educated man.
The white educated women is still a problem for Republicans since the most common job a white educated women gets is teacher. Their unions are still the political backbone of the Democrats.
I’m old enough to remember when the Republican party stood for limited government and Ronald Reagan thundered “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”
Today’s Republican party, while still claiming to stand for limited government, is practicing just the opposite: government intrusion everywhere.
Republicans threaten our children’s freedom as well as their basic safety
Republican lawmakers are banning masks in schools. Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona and South Carolina are prohibiting public schools from requiring students wear them.
Republican states are on the way to outlawing abortions. Texas has just banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant. Other Republican states are on the way to enacting similar measures.
Republican lawmakers are forbidding teachers from telling students about America’s racist past. State legislatures from Tennessee to Idaho are barring all references to racism in the classroom.
Republican legislators are forcing transgender students to play sports and use bathrooms according to their assigned gender at birth. Thirty-three states have introduced more than 100 bills aimed at curbing the rights of transgender people.
Across the country, Republican lawmakers are making it harder for people to vote. So far, they’ve enacted more than 30 laws that reduce access to polling places, number of days for voting and availability of absentee voting.
This is not limited government, folks. To the contrary, these Republican lawmakers have a particular ideology, and they are now imposing those views and values on citizens holding different views and values.
============
It is an authoritarian philosophy.
If an extremely authoritarian leader emerges, we will become a fascist nation.
People on the right wing nutcase websites have been calling for a world war against Islamic people everywhere.
FDR put the Japanese Americans in concentration camps! He didn't murder them But their lives were destroyed.
The odds against it are very high, but it could happen.
At a time when nativism could have stirred hatred and violence against people perceived as outsiders, I saw Americans reaffirm their welcome to immigrants and refugees.
And we were repaid by those Islamist immigrants and citizens with more Islamic attacks
It is not hatred or bigotry to point out that Islam is incompatible with western liberal democracy and capitalism.
It is best to leave Islamic countries to their own devices and prevent wholesale immigration from Islamic countries.
Less you get people like Ilan Omar and Rashid Talbit into power.
Republican lawmakers are banning masks in schools. Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona and South Carolina are prohibiting public schools from requiring students wear them.
This of course is a lie. They are not banning mask but the mandate you must wear a mask. Thus returning freedom for parents to decide what's best for their children.
You were on soars Yahoo. You supported him for years but not now because the right wing nutcase websites have gaslighted your mind.

Not allowing people with dicks to compete against women in sports, isn’t government intrusion
You still haven’t shown one single instance of how the new voting laws harm minorities. All you’ve bitched about are these states are preventing future abuses as occurred in 2020 because of a fucking fake pandemic. Isn’t government intrusion.
Republican states are on the way to outlawing abortions. Texas has just banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant. Other Republican states are on the way to enacting similar measures.
The right of the baby to live is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution says you can't deprived a baby of life without due process. This is a situation where the right to life conflicts with a woman's sovereignty over her body. In those cases the right to life trumps the woman sovereignty over her body.
Republican lawmakers are forbidding teachers from telling students about America’s racist past. State legislatures from Tennessee to Idaho are barring all references to racism in the classroom.
This is a lie. Teachers can teach about America's past including slavery and Jim Crow. In fact they are required to teach in a balance and objective manner. More Fredrick Douglas and less Derrick Bell. What should never taught is the distorted and divisive view of history from leftest like N. Nikole Hanna-Jones and the rest of the contributors to the 1619 project.
Republican legislators are forcing transgender students to play sports and use bathrooms according to their assigned gender at birth. Thirty-three states have introduced more than 100 bills aimed at curbing the rights of transgender people.
There are only two sexes and your birth sex has the sexual organs of your sex. In other words, if you have a penis, you don't belong in the girls bathroom. Most parents would insist on it. As far as sports is concerned, if you have a male body with the speed and upper body strength of a male you have no business competing in girls sports. Especially after the onset of puberty.
I can live without the radical transgenderism the Guardian pushes.
Across the country, Republican lawmakers are making it harder for people to vote. So far, they’ve enacted more than 30 laws that reduce access to polling places, number of days for voting and availability of absentee voting.
This is another lie. They are in fact making it easier for eligible voters to vote while at the same time insuring the integrity of the vote you cast by not have it deluded by bogus ballots.
This is not limited government, folks. To the contrary, these Republican lawmakers have a particular ideology, and they are now imposing those views and values on citizens holding different views and values.
They are projecting what the current Democrat administration is doing. It's not the GOP pushing CRT into the schools but Democrats.
The Guardian has no idea what limited government is since all the governing power in the United Kingdom is in Parliament and that power is absolute. There in no concept of federalism.
Students are required to be vaccinated against a dozen other diseases. Students can opt out due to religious and/or health reasons. The vaccines are proven safe, effective, and the immunity last for the duration of there hospitalized The parents can't force the schools to accept their children.
They can if the demand are not reasonable. And it's not reasonable for a school to reject students is don't wear mask.
Masking works well enough to prevent damage or deaths from the covid-19 virus and the Delta variance.
No it doesn't. We have plenty of evidence of people hospitalized and dying from the Delta variant. Even though the person religiously wore a mask. It's not an infringement upon their rights.
Postal workers will have a choice between getting the vaccine and getting tested for COVID-19 once a week, a Biden administration official clarified, subjecting those workers to the rules being imposed on business of 100 employees or more, as opposed to the rules for federal employees.
“USPS is not included in the executive order requiring vaccination of Federal employees. USPS has a separate statutory scheme and is traditionally independent of federal personnel actions like this,” a Biden administration official said.
I knew that President Bush would get the right wing nutcases crazy mothrf***r websites but the The Washington Times lied about it.
P resident Joe Biden was silent during Saturday's 9/11 commemoration events. So were former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Former President Donald Trump visited a New York City police precinct and fire station, where he made a few impromptu remarks. "President Biden made speeches in three locations."
The only president who delivered a formal speech on 9/11 was former President George W. Bush. And it was terrible.
In two ways. First, Bush's speech was as much about decrying today's political divisions as it was about remembering the events of Sept. 11. But Bush showed an astonishing lack of self-awareness of the role his own actions played in creating those divisions. And second, Bush helped widen those divisions by endorsing a Rachel Maddow-esque argument that an equivalence exists between the plane-hijacking, murderous terrorists of Sept. 11, 2001, and the Capitol rioters of Jan. 6, 2021 — a comparison that has no basis in fact but has done much to sour the national debate.
The right wing terrorists have been saying that it was not an Insurrection since the afternoon on January 6th like Scott!
The attacks were not an attempt to overthrow the government.

Pro-Trump Rally Expecting 10,000 Attendees Sees Only a Few Hundred Show Up
BY JASON LEMON ON 9/12/21 AT 5:55 PM EDT

U.S. DONALD TRUMP KENTUCKY MIKE LINDELL MICHAEL FLYNN
Organizers of a Kentucky rally in support of former President Donald Trump featuring several prominent allies and conspiracy theorists expected some 10,000 people to show up this weekend. Instead, less than 300 were in attendance when local journalists attempted to cover the proceedings.
The "We the People Reunion" was held at the Muhlenberg County Agriculture & Convention Center Fairgrounds in Powderly, Kentucky, on Friday and Saturday. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, retired General Michael Flynn, attorney Lin Wood and others were among the featured speakers, according to the event and ticket page online.
“Twenty years ago, the terror attacks on the morning of September 11th forever changed our nation and the world. These acts of incomprehensible evil left heartbreaking images seared into our collective memory: the Twin Towers collapsing into rubble on the streets of Manhattan, smoke billowing from the Pentagon, Flight 93 crashing down in a Pennsylvania field. We hold dear the memories of the 3,000 beautiful souls who perished in the attacks and pray for them and their families, who have endured unimaginable pain and sorrow.
“Yet, the story of September 11, 2001 is also one of extraordinary heroism and hope: from the first responders who charged into danger with courage beyond measure to the everyday Americans who came together to help New York neighborhoods rebuild from the ashes. Indeed, in one of our nation’s darkest moments, Americans forged unity in the anguish of loss, strength in the shadow of fear and hope in the face of despair – proving to the world the indomitability of the American spirit.
“Today, and every day, we reaffirm our sacred commitment to pay tribute to the fallen, the survivors and the heroes. With the 2010 James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, and its reauthorization in 2015, Congress secured vital health services and medical benefits for those battling long-term illness as a result of the attacks. In 2019, Congress enacted the Never Forget the Heroes Act to finally, fully provide the financial support and security that the survivors, heroes and their families deserve. By ordering a new declassification review of documents related to the attacks, President Biden is taking a step to honor the right of every American to know the truth behind that dark day. And this year, as we mark the end of the war in Afghanistan, our nation salutes the brave heroes in the military, intelligence and diplomatic communities who served courageously overseas.
“Though the rubble has been cleared, the fires extinguished and our cities rebuilt, the painful memories of September 11th remain forever etched in the hearts of every American, inspiring us to come together to build a more peaceful future for generations to come.”

De Santis needs to resign!!!!!!!!
in Democratic blue states, according to an analysis of data by The Washington Post.
The Post said the analysis reveals the “inescapable overlap of pandemic and politics.”
In a single, obvious example, of 54,000 people who have died since late June, 2021 in the latest wave of COVID-19, nearly one in five has died in Florida, where GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis battles against wearing masks. So a state with just 6% of the nation’s population accounts for 18% of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths this summer, the Post reported Friday.
But it’s far more than that. Across the nation, it’s “obvious that there’s an overlap of vaccination rates, party identity and pandemic outcomes that intertwines the discussion about the pandemic with partisan politics,” noted reporter Philip Bump. “We see that red states are doing much worse relative to the country on the whole than are blue states.”
The Deep State has soars
George W. Bush appeared at Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to honor those who died on 9/11. It was an interesting speech, but not necessarily in a good way. He told the veterans of America’s long wars that their sacrifices weren’t in vain, an obviously false statement now that Biden has given Afghanistan itself and U.S. hi-tech weapons valued at $83B to the Taliban. More provocatively, Bush said that Islamic violent extremists are the same as domestic violent extremists when it comes to their “disregard of human life.” The big question is whether Bush was referring to Antifa and BLM or to the January 6 protesters—and, interestingly, everybody assumes he was speaking about the latter.
To Bush’s credit, after the Islamist attack on the Twin Towers, he handled the immediate aftermath with dignity and fortitude. He was also correct to want to bring the war to those who attacked us.
After that, though, Bush was wrong in so many ways. I’ll refrain from blaming him for the fake intelligence about Iraq’s WMDs or the Pakistan-related realpolitik that seems to have prevented anyone from delivering a death blow to the Taliban.
Bush, however, was wrong to believe that we could democratize Muslim countries through warfare. He misunderstood the examples of Nazi Germany and Bushido Japan. In those cases, we completely flattened the countries as a predicate to rebuilding them in a more democratic mode and we stuck around for more than seven decades. Additionally, both those countries were modern nations when the war began, making rebuilding easier.
At home, Bush’s “compassionate conservativism” too often veered into Democrat-lite policies, but he did try—and, like Trump, he was the victim of an irredeemably hostile media that convinced many Americans that he was a failure at everything. The most memorable example was Hurricane Katrina, to which Bush responded very well, but the media insisted his response was a disaster. (Meanwhile, the media are completely silent about Biden’s abandonment of those in Louisiana who just suffered another devastating
Bush lost significant support from his base after his presidency when he suddenly became besties with the Obamas. On the one hand, it was nicely ecumenical. On the other hand, given that Barack Obama wasn’t just a traditional Democrat but was, instead, attacking America at her foundations, that was an awful lot like sleeping with the enemy.

On the other hand, given that Barack Obama wasn’t just a traditional Democrat but was, instead, attacking America at her foundations, that was an awful lot like sleeping with the enemy.
Things really went downhill, though, when George Bush sided with Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020 against Trump. Regardless of his personal feelings about Trump, Bush knew that Hillary was an utterly corrupt hard leftist. He should have taken a stand against his father’s support for her but he didn’t. Moreover, by 2020, he knew that Trump had governed as a true conservative and that Biden was not only as corrupt as Hillary but was also stupid (with an increasing dollop of dementia) but he refused to endorse Trump, thereby tacitly endorsing Biden.
With that history of backing his leftist Deep State buddies over America, we saw George W. Bush was a Deep State, Vichy Republican. It’s scarcely surprising, then, that when George W. Bush spoke about domestic extremists but didn’t name names everyone assumed he was speaking about a cohort of unarmed, middle-aged and elderly people who, deeply frustrated by a manifestly irregular election (and probably encouraged by leftist provocateurs), did exactly what leftists have always done, and entered the Capitol to complain.
Bush’s exact words were as follows:
There's little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard of human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.

Considering that the January 6 protesters killed no one and destroyed nothing, the words are inapposite to them. They apply perfectly to BLM and Antifa, groups that tore down monuments, looted and torched buildings, brutally attacked law enforcement, and left almost two dozen people dead. But still, most believed Bush gave the back of his hand to Trump supporters. Conservatives believed that:
And the media believed that. The Daily Mail made the same assumption, writing that Bush’s words were “an apparent reference to both the 9/11 hijackers and the January 6 Capitol rioters.” A widely syndicated New York Daily News report had as its lede, “Former President George W. Bush used the occasion of a 9/11 speech to take a thinly-veiled slam at the Jan. 6 insurrectionists and other U.S. political extremists.” USA Today had the same take:
Former President George W. Bush compared domestic and foreign extremists Saturday, seeming to liken the insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to the 9/11 hijackers and calling on Americans to confront the growing threats from both groups.
Again, Bush didn’t say a word about which homegrown extremists he meant. But the media can think of only one—because the riots, arson, destruction, and death in 2020 were “mostly peaceful—while Trump supporters understand that Bush is and was always a creature of the monoparty, permanent governing class. We supported him and he stabbed us in the back. What a pathetic piece of work he turned out to be.
Roger Dementia Was Right
"Obama was attacking America at her foundations."
I think you meant to say Trump.
George W. Bush, for all his faults which are many, is at least trying for sanity for the GOP.
Too little too late, however.

Biden's handlers are avoiding him giving public speeches at all costs, even on a day as significant as 9/11.
His brain is pudding.
that's being too generous
HOLMAN JENKINS:
Lumping 75 million unvaccinated into one category is partisanship, not science.
His approach is wedge politics. It will provoke confrontations with red-state governors and old-school civil libertarians. It will rile up anti-vax nuts, who will be portrayed as ordinary GOPers. It does not faintly resemble any strategy you would adopt if your goal was to improve Covid outcomes quickly and efficiently.
It’s long past time to stop lying about the Biden administration. The political calendar, with the midterms still a year away and 2024 three years off, is why he wanted a fast-and-dirty Afghan exit while he could still exploit his honeymoon privilege of putting all blame on his predecessors.
His vaccine announcement is more of a piece with his recurrent practice of whipping up the “white supremacist menace” to distract the left than any useful approach to improving Covid outcomes.
In regard to political cynicism, the Biden administration is not more meritorious than average; it is perhaps slightly less so, as you might expect from a politician with Mr. Biden’s history and character.
The people who supported him should be ashamed.

By the looks of it, Republican attacks on masks and COVID-19 vaccines don’t seem to be particularly healthy for people living in red states
Funny, no one attacked the use of vaccines. In fact it's use was encourage.
The only political figure who question the point of taking vaccines is president Biden when he said "we have to protect the vaccinated against the unvaccinated."
Isn't that what the vaccine is suppose to do? Protect you against the unvaccinated.
And if the vaccinated need protection against the unvaccinated, what is the point of getting the vaccine.
If they truly want people to get vaccinated then they should reverse the guidance that require the vaccinated to wear masks and follow other COVID-19 restrictions. Include wearing mask on airplanes.
By the looks of it, Republican attacks on masks and COVID-19 vaccines don’t seem to be particularly healthy for people living in red states.

Huh:
Members of Congress and Their Staff Are Exempt From Biden's Vaccine Mandate
President Joe Biden's new vaccine mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system.
[...]
The New York Times reported on Thursday that the executive order doesn't apply to those who work for Congress or the federal courts, citing White House officials.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference on April 29 that the House couldn't require members to be vaccinated. Video clips of those remarks gained renewed attention online following Biden's announcement.
"So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't," Pelosi said.
"I can't go to the Capitol Physician and say, 'Give me the names of people who aren't vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.' So we can't—we can't do that," she said.
Pelosi's office reiterated that position in a statement to Newsweek on Friday, saying the speaker's April 29 remarks were "referring to the institution in which she serves."
"She's saying she cannot force Members to be vaccinated, which is true," the statement said.

Child Covid deaths more than doubled in Florida as kids returned to the classroom
By AREK SARKISSIAN

Updated 09/10/2021 06:32 PM EDT
Florida reached another grim Covid milestone amid the Delta surge: Since August, the number of Covid-related child deaths in the state has more than doubled.
The childhood fatalities have left pediatric experts deeply concerned about how the virus will affect youngsters in the months ahead as children interact in classrooms
The deaths also pose a political threat to Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of his 2022 reelection bid. The GOP governor has built a national reputation for resisting coronavirus restrictions and has spent weeks fighting against school districts that want to require students to wear masks in schools.
A POLITICO analysis of weekly Covid-19 reports from the Florida Department of Health shows that 10 children under the age of 16 died from Covid-19 from July 30 to present as the Delta variant — which is much more transmissible — became the dominant strain. Previously, a total of seven kids died from the virus from the beginning of the pandemic through July, amounting to a span of more than 15 months.
The state now has seen 17 deaths
Who actually believes the MSM!

If you seek evidence that the Covid vaccine is being politicized to the extreme, look no farther than the MSM coverage of Florida, and ONLY Florida.
What's so special about Florida, you ask?
The governor, the one who must be destroyed.
Those 17 kids under the age of 16 who "supposedly" died from Covid?
One could ask why Florida is the only state under scrutiny for child Covid deaths. One could ask, but one need not.
Those kids are collateral damage. It's all about the politics and the governor who must be destroyed.

Biden definitely didn't want that

GOP voters say Trump leads the party, but are split on a 2024 White House run
Republicans overwhelmingly back former President Donald Trump as the leader of their party but are split about whether he should be their standard-bearer in 2024, a new poll released Sunday shows.
Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say – by 63 percent to 37 percent – that Trump should continue to be the leader of the Republican Party, a CNN survey found.
When asked whether Trump should top the ticket in 2024, 51 percent said his presence would help Republicans reclaim the White House, but 48 percent said they believe the party would fare better with another nominee.
In March 2019, 78 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said the GOP had a better chance to win the White House if Trump was the nominee in 2024 compared to the 17 percent who opted for another candidate.
Among those who believe the GOP stands a better chance with Trump as the nominee are 53 percent of men, 48 percent of women and 53 percent people of color, the poll found.
But 51 percent of women said the party should go with another nominee.
The survey also found that 59 percent of whites without a college degree back a 2024 Trump run, while only 32 percent of whites with a college degree think so.
Trump hasn’t announced whether he’s going to run for president in 2024, but asked directly while visiting firefighters and police near the Trump Tower on Saturday, he said: “I think you’re going to be very happy.”
Couple of interesting things. Educated white men and women are skeptical about Trump running for a second term. They are the most likely consumers of the anti-Trump press. However they still want him as party leader.
Uneducated white men and people of color are enthusiastic about Trump leading the party and running for President in 2024. I believe these two groups have more interest in common than any other demographic group.
The way it looks now that if Biden is still alive and runs for president look for him to get slaughter by Trump in 2024 Trump already leads Biden in head to head presidential polls and it will only get worse for Biden. (Also look for him to dump Harris as a running mate in 2024. She's nothing but a liability.)
Don't be too surprised if Democrat operatives try to get Biden to retire and not run in 2024. They see what we're all seeing and they know they can not longer hide his advance dementia.
However no matter who the Democrats run in 2024 Trump should win with a 60% landslide. We will see massive defections from the Democrat party to independents for people of color and the more conservative white educated man.
The white educated women is still a problem for Republicans since the most common job a white educated women gets is teacher. Their unions are still the political backbone of the Democrats.
Traitor Joe declares the climate change won.
"We don't have any more time." Joe
I’m old enough to remember when the Republican party stood for limited government and Ronald Reagan thundered “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”
Today’s Republican party, while still claiming to stand for limited government, is practicing just the opposite: government intrusion everywhere.
Republicans threaten our children’s freedom as well as their basic safety
Republican lawmakers are banning masks in schools. Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona and South Carolina are prohibiting public schools from requiring students wear them.
Republican states are on the way to outlawing abortions. Texas has just banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant. Other Republican states are on the way to enacting similar measures.
Republican lawmakers are forbidding teachers from telling students about America’s racist past. State legislatures from Tennessee to Idaho are barring all references to racism in the classroom.
Republican legislators are forcing transgender students to play sports and use bathrooms according to their assigned gender at birth. Thirty-three states have introduced more than 100 bills aimed at curbing the rights of transgender people.
Across the country, Republican lawmakers are making it harder for people to vote. So far, they’ve enacted more than 30 laws that reduce access to polling places, number of days for voting and availability of absentee voting.
This is not limited government, folks. To the contrary, these Republican lawmakers have a particular ideology, and they are now imposing those views and values on citizens holding different views and values.

It is not hatred or bigotry to point out that Islam is incompatible with western liberal democracy and capitalism.
It is best to leave Islamic countries to their own devices and prevent wholesale immigration from Islamic countries.

This of course is a lie. They are not banning mask but the mandate you must wear a mask. Thus returning freedom for parents to decide what's best for their children.

Not allowing people with dicks to compete against women in sports, isn’t government intrusion
You still haven’t shown one single instance of how the new voting laws harm minorities. All you’ve bitched about are these states are preventing future abuses as occurred in 2020 because of a fucking fake pandemic. Isn’t government intrusion.
Students are required to be vaccinated against a dozen other diseases.
The parents can't force the schools to accept their children.
Masking works well enough to prevent damage or deaths from the covid-19 virus and the Delta variance.
It's not an infringement upon their rights.
Exactly Cali.
Roger can't debate.
Republican states are on the way to outlawing abortions. Texas has just banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant. Other Republican states are on the way to enacting similar measures.
The right of the baby to live is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution says you can't deprived a baby of life without due process. This is a situation where the right to life conflicts with a woman's sovereignty over her body. In those cases the right to life trumps the woman sovereignty over her body.
Republican lawmakers are forbidding teachers from telling students about America’s racist past. State legislatures from Tennessee to Idaho are barring all references to racism in the classroom.
This is a lie. Teachers can teach about America's past including slavery and Jim Crow. In fact they are required to teach in a balance and objective manner. More Fredrick Douglas and less Derrick Bell. What should never taught is the distorted and divisive view of history from leftest like N. Nikole Hanna-Jones and the rest of the contributors to the 1619 project.
Republican legislators are forcing transgender students to play sports and use bathrooms according to their assigned gender at birth. Thirty-three states have introduced more than 100 bills aimed at curbing the rights of transgender people.
There are only two sexes and your birth sex has the sexual organs of your sex. In other words, if you have a penis, you don't belong in the girls bathroom. Most parents would insist on it. As far as sports is concerned, if you have a male body with the speed and upper body strength of a male you have no business competing in girls sports. Especially after the onset of puberty.
I can live without the radical transgenderism the Guardian pushes.
Across the country, Republican lawmakers are making it harder for people to vote. So far, they’ve enacted more than 30 laws that reduce access to polling places, number of days for voting and availability of absentee voting.
This is another lie. They are in fact making it easier for eligible voters to vote while at the same time insuring the integrity of the vote you cast by not have it deluded by bogus ballots.
This is not limited government, folks. To the contrary, these Republican lawmakers have a particular ideology, and they are now imposing those views and values on citizens holding different views and values.
They are projecting what the current Democrat administration is doing. It's not the GOP pushing CRT into the schools but Democrats.
The Guardian has no idea what limited government is since all the governing power in the United Kingdom is in Parliament and that power is absolute. There in no concept of federalism.
Students are required to be vaccinated against a dozen other diseases.
Students can opt out due to religious and/or health reasons. The vaccines are proven safe, effective, and the immunity last for the duration of there hospitalized
The parents can't force the schools to accept their children.
They can if the demand are not reasonable. And it's not reasonable for a school to reject students is don't wear mask.
Masking works well enough to prevent damage or deaths from the covid-19 virus and the Delta variance.
No it doesn't. We have plenty of evidence of people hospitalized and dying from the Delta variant. Even though the person religiously wore a mask.
It's not an infringement upon their rights.
It most certainly is.
HEY VERY lo iq
saw your article and it verifies what I said, 600,000 federal postal workers are exempt from the federal mandate

Postal workers will have a choice between getting the vaccine and getting tested for COVID-19 once a week, a Biden administration official clarified, subjecting those workers to the rules being imposed on business of 100 employees or more, as opposed to the rules for federal employees.
“USPS is not included in the executive order requiring vaccination of Federal employees. USPS has a separate statutory scheme and is traditionally independent of federal personnel actions like this,” a Biden administration official said.
have you ever been right on anything ?
well I guess your catch phrase is correct
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

ROFLMFAO !!!

I knew that President Bush would get the right wing nutcases crazy mothrf***r websites but the The Washington Times lied about it.
P resident Joe Biden was silent during Saturday's 9/11 commemoration events. So were former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Former President Donald Trump visited a New York City police precinct and fire station, where he made a few impromptu remarks. "President Biden made speeches in three locations."
The only president who delivered a formal speech on 9/11 was former President George W. Bush. And it was terrible.
In two ways. First, Bush's speech was as much about decrying today's political divisions as it was about remembering the events of Sept. 11. But Bush showed an astonishing lack of self-awareness of the role his own actions played in creating those divisions. And second, Bush helped widen those divisions by endorsing a Rachel Maddow-esque argument that an equivalence exists between the plane-hijacking, murderous terrorists of Sept. 11, 2001, and the Capitol rioters of Jan. 6, 2021 — a comparison that has no basis in fact but has done much to sour the national debate.
The right wing terrorists have been saying that it was not an Insurrection since the afternoon on January 6th like Scott!
The attacks were not an attempt to overthrow the government.
Wrong again and again and again.

U.S. DONALD TRUMP KENTUCKY MIKE LINDELL MICHAEL FLYNN
Organizers of a Kentucky rally in support of former President Donald Trump featuring several prominent allies and conspiracy theorists expected some 10,000 people to show up this weekend. Instead, less than 300 were in attendance when local journalists attempted to cover the proceedings.
The "We the People Reunion" was held at the Muhlenberg County Agriculture & Convention Center Fairgrounds in Powderly, Kentucky, on Friday and Saturday. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, retired General Michael Flynn, attorney Lin Wood and others were among the featured speakers, according to the event and ticket page online.
“Twenty years ago, the terror attacks on the morning of September 11th forever changed our nation and the world. These acts of incomprehensible evil left heartbreaking images seared into our collective memory: the Twin Towers collapsing into rubble on the streets of Manhattan, smoke billowing from the Pentagon, Flight 93 crashing down in a Pennsylvania field. We hold dear the memories of the 3,000 beautiful souls who perished in the attacks and pray for them and their families, who have endured unimaginable pain and sorrow.
“Yet, the story of September 11, 2001 is also one of extraordinary heroism and hope: from the first responders who charged into danger with courage beyond measure to the everyday Americans who came together to help New York neighborhoods rebuild from the ashes. Indeed, in one of our nation’s darkest moments, Americans forged unity in the anguish of loss, strength in the shadow of fear and hope in the face of despair – proving to the world the indomitability of the American spirit.
“Today, and every day, we reaffirm our sacred commitment to pay tribute to the fallen, the survivors and the heroes. With the 2010 James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, and its reauthorization in 2015, Congress secured vital health services and medical benefits for those battling long-term illness as a result of the attacks. In 2019, Congress enacted the Never Forget the Heroes Act to finally, fully provide the financial support and security that the survivors, heroes and their families deserve. By ordering a new declassification review of documents related to the attacks, President Biden is taking a step to honor the right of every American to know the truth behind that dark day. And this year, as we mark the end of the war in Afghanistan, our nation salutes the brave heroes in the military, intelligence and diplomatic communities who served courageously overseas.
“Though the rubble has been cleared, the fires extinguished and our cities rebuilt, the painful memories of September 11th remain forever etched in the hearts of every American, inspiring us to come together to build a more peaceful future for generations to come.”
