Hysteria over covid vaccination continues, with unvaccinated people being barred from many venues and discriminated against in various ways. In several reported cases, people have been denied life-saving surgery because they were unvaccinated. Liberals generally blame the unvaccinated for the fact that covid continues to spread–recently, according to the Centers for Disease Control, faster than ever.
And yet the CDC also tells us that 80.1% of Americans five years of age and older have now had at least one shot of vaccine. The obvious reality is that today’s rapid spread of covid is occurring primarily among the vaccinated . Data from the Minnesota Department of Health (which runs around one month behind) shows 63% of covid cases among the fully vaccinated, with that percentage rising rapidly. Thirty-eight percent of hospitalizations and 32% of deaths, as of a month ago, were among the fully vaccinated.
Okay... so the covid case rate is catching up to the amount of people considered fully vaccinated and they likely correct to assume that will catch up even further. The hospitalizations and deaths of course are running behind the vaccination rates, meaning that still represents a higher percentage of unvaccinated are ending up in hospitals and/or are dying. If there was truly no difference then we would expect the Hospitalizations and death rate to be about the opposite (about two thirds rather than one third being vaccinated).
But the cold hard truth is that there are a ton of vaccinated people catching the virus, becoming hospitalized and even dying. We can no longer PRETEND that this is just unvaccinated people being affected or that it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The numbers simply no longer support this and at the end of the day the number mean EVERYTHING!
Buy the way, this figure represents December, when over 1000 minnesotans died. Pretty simple math to reflect that 320 of those would be fully vaccinated.
On the average about 25 people die per month from car accidents and their are 5.7 million Minnesotans. I heard somewhere that fully vaccinated are less likely to die from Covid than a car accident and the chances of a fully vaccinated person was less than one in a million. The actual numbers appears that a fully vaccinated person is over 10 times more likely to die from Covid than a car accident and your odds of dying in just December alone was one in about 18,000.
Seems like some pretty amazingly variant statistics based on the Minnesota Dept of Health's actual data vs the numbers being floated by the political section of WaPo.

The Fed is about to shaft American workers
The biggest problem most people face isn't inflation. It's a lack of good jobs.

I’ve spent much of my professional life watching the Federal Reserve Board, because its decisions have a more direct effect on peoples’ working lives than any other single institution.
Fed policymakers are now set to raise interest rates at their March meeting and then continue raising them, in order to slow the economy. They believe this will reduce inflation. They fear that a labor shortage is pushing up wages, which in turn are pushing up prices — and that this wage-price spiral could get out of control.
It’s a huge mistake. Higher interest rates will harm millions of workers who will be involuntarily drafted into the inflation fight by losing jobs or long-overdue pay raises. There’s no “labor shortage” pushing up wages. There’s a shortage of good jobs paying adequate wages to support working families. Raising interest rates will worsen this shortage.
There’s no “wage-price spiral,” either (even though Fed chief Jerome Powell has expressed concern about wage hikes pushing up prices). To the contrary, workers’ real wages have dropped because of inflation. Even though overall wages have climbed, they’ve failed to keep up with price increases – making most workers worse off in terms of the purchasing power of their dollars.

Wage-price spirals used to be a problem. Remember when John F. Kennedy “jawboned” steel executives and the United Steel Workers to keep a lid on wages and prices? But such spirals are no longer a problem. That’s because the typical worker today has little or no bargaining power.
V
Only 6 percent of private-sector , are now unionized. A half-century ago, more than a third were. Today, corporations can increase output by outsourcing just about anything anywhere because capital is global. A half-century ago, corporations needing more output had to bargain with their own workers to get it.
These changes have shifted power from labor to capital — increasing the share of the economic pie going to profits and shrinking the share going to wages. This power shift ended wage-price spirals.
Slowing the economy won’t remedy either of the two real causes of today’s inflation – continuing worldwide bottlenecks in the supply of goods, and the ease with which big corporations (with record profits) are passing these costs to customers in higher prices.
Supply bottlenecks are all around us. (Just take a look at all the ships with billions of dollars of cargo idling outside the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, through which 40 percent of all U.S. seaborne imports flow.) Big corporations have no incentive to absorb the rising costs of such supplies — even with profit margins at their highest level in 70 years. They have enough market power to pass these costs on to consumers, sometimes using inflation to justify even bigger price hikes. “A little bit of inflation is always good in our business,” the CEO of Kroger said last June. “What we are very good at is pricing,” the CEO of Colgate-Palmolive added in October.
In fact, the Fed’s plan to slow the economy is the opposite of what’s needed now or in the foreseeable future. COVID is still with us. Even in its wake, we’ll be dealing with its damaging consequences for years — everything from long-term COVID, to school children months or years behind.
The U.S. economy is still 3.5 million jobs below what it had in February 2020. It’s probably 5 million short of what it would have by now had there been no pandemic.
The jobs reports for December and January reveal continuing weakness.
Consumers are almost tapped out. Not only are real (inflation-adjusted) incomes down, but pandemic assistance has ended. Extra jobless benefits are gone. Child tax credits have expired. Rent moratoriums are over. Small wonder consumer spending fell 0.6 percent in December, the first decrease since last February.
Many people are understandably gloomy about the future. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey plummeted in January to its lowest level since late 2011, back when the economy was trying to recover from the global financial crisis. The Conference Board’s index of confidence also dropped in January.
Given all this, the last thing average working people need is for the Fed to raise interest rates and slow the economy further. The problem most people face isn’t inflation. It’s a lack of good jobs.

CDC
Bottom Line: COVID-19 vaccines protect everyone ages 5 years and older against severe illness, including disease caused by the Delta variant and other variants circulating in the United States.
Key PointsCOVID-19 vaccines protect everyone ages 5 years and older from getting infected and severely ill, and significantly reduce the likelihood of hospitalization and death.Getting vaccinated is the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent infection by Delta or other variants.A vaccine breakthrough infection happens when a fully vaccinated person gets infected with COVID-19. People with vaccine breakthrough infections may spread COVID-19 to others.Even if you are fully vaccinated, if you live in an area with substantial or high transmission of COVID-19, you – as well as your family and community – will be better protected if you wear a mask when you are in indoor public places.People who are immunocompromised may not always build adequate levels of protection after an initial 2-dose primary mRNA COVID-19 vaccine series. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, until advised otherwise by their healthcare professional.
Further, CDC recommends that moderately or severely immunocompromised people receive an additional primary dose of vaccine.What We Know about Vaccine Breakthrough InfectionsVaccine breakthrough infections are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing most infections.
However, like other vaccines, they are not 100% effective.Fully vaccinated people with a vaccine breakthrough infection are less likely to develop serious illness than those who are unvaccinated and get COVID-19.Even when fully vaccinated people develop symptoms, they tend to be less severe symptoms than in unvaccinated people. This means they are much less likely to be hospitalized or die than people who are not vaccinated.
People who get vaccine breakthrough infections can be contagious.
CDC is collecting data on vaccine breakthrough infections and is closely monitoring the safety and effectiveness of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized COVID-19 vaccines.
Because vaccines are not 100% effective, as the number of people who are fully vaccinated goes up, the number of vaccine breakthrough infections will also increase. However, the risk of infection remains much higher for unvaccinated than vaccinated people.

There are two realities.
You live in one that you create.
The other one is where!
Normal people believe in science.
And one more highly complex situation is far more important. China and Russia are working together with the aim of deciding and conquering the free world.
Richard Nixon's most important and successful effort was to separate Russia and China.
It is being reconstructed by Putin and Xi
Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Beijing in a summit just ahead of the Winter Games, showcasing a united front amid a tense standoff with the West over the buildup of Russian troops near Ukraine.
The summit marks the first face-to-face meeting with another foreign leader in more than two years for Mr. Xi, who has remained in China for the entirety of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mr. Putin opened the meeting on Friday afternoon by saying he had arrived in Beijing with a new contract to supply 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year to China.
“Our oilmen have prepared very good new solutions for the supply of hydrocarbons to the People’s Republic of China,” the Russian leader said in televised remarks.
“I believe our ‘New Year’s Meeting’ today will inject more vitality into Sino-Russian relations,” said Mr. Xi, according to state-run China Central Television.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Wednesday that Messrs. Putin and Xi planned to adopt a package of measures, including intergovernmental and commercial initiatives, and Moscow had “more than 15 contracts and agreements in the folder that is being prepared for this
The two leaders also plan to continue cooperation in the field of atomic energy, technology, agriculture and transport, in addition to other areas, Mr. Ushakov said.
The meeting between Messrs. Xi and Putin on the sprawling grounds of Beijing’s Diaoyutai State Guest House took place shortly after U.S. officials warned that Moscow planned to stage a fake attack by forces in Kyiv as a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine. China, while calling for diplomacy, has offered backing for Moscow, urging the U.S. and Europe to address Russia’s security concerns in Eastern Europe.
The summit also came hours before the opening ceremony of Beijing’s second Olympics, which U.S. officials are skipping in protest over China’s crackdown on opposition activists in Hong Kong and the suppression of the Muslim Uyghur minority group in the country’s Xinjiang region. China has bristled at the diplomatic boycott, denying wrongdoing and accusing the White House of trying to politicize the event.

A Texas parent demanded a Michelle Obama biography be pulled from schools because they said it would make white girls feel 'ashamed'
Katie Balevic
Wed, February 2, 2022, 12:55 PM
A Texas parent called for a book about Michelle Obama be pulled from schools, NBC News reported.
The parent said it unfairly depicted Trump as a bully and would make white girls feel "ashamed."
Some conservatives say books depicting race, sexuality, and gender should be kept out of schools.
A parent in Texas called for a children's biography about former first lady Michelle Obama to be pulled from school libraries because they viewed it as unfair to former President Donald Trump.
The Katy, Texas, parent took issue with a book titled "Michelle Obama: Political Icon" by Heather E. Schwartz, saying it "unfairly" depicted Trump "as a bully," according to NBC News, which on Wednesday published a list of 50 books that parents in Texas have asked schools to remove.
Who would you really have as our President in this situation????
A mumbling dementia patient so feeble he must be led from the dais by his wife/wet nurse?
A clown so incompetent his handlers orchestrate a wag the dog moment killing women and kids to distract from the epic disaster that is his incredible shrinking presidency?
Just spitballing here alky.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! At our mentally disabled rat hole who still has hope that trump will be declared winnah and still president in spite he cannot provide a single example of massive voter fraud....just gullible to believe what ever blows out of the fat assed trump!!!!!!!!!! Seems to me there may be drugs that can clear your garbled brain!!!!!!!
Normal people believe in science.
Normal people believe in so much science it's why we actually find ourselves with a pregnant man emoji, right alky?
What are we up to now - 57 genders?
Fauci is so science-cy he has declared himself the embodiment of science all while contradicting himself every other day, and feeling compelled to lie about the gain of function research he funded which was in fact the origin of the virus.
Science - like the science that declared that the 'vaccine' (read: inoculation) would prohibit contraction and transmission of the virus, with 'vaccinated' people now contracting covid, transmitting covid, and DYING of covid.
Science. So much fucking science.
You see alky, those on my side of the debate are huge fans of science, and of the scientific method: The basic steps of the scientific method are: 1) make an observation that describes a problem, 2) create a hypothesis, 3) test the hypothesis, and 4) draw conclusions and refine the hypothesis. ... constantly challenging the hypothesis, and resisting the making of declarative statements that state that we have reached an irrefutable conclusion.
What we abhor is a single individual so committed to politicizing his opinions and so arrogant as to declare his "science" above reproach and beyond dispute. And going so far as to attempt to destroy all critics and challengers to his "science" as Fauci did with the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration. Ethical scientists don't pull that shit. Political hacks pull that shit. If Fauci's opinion differed from the GBD folks he should've challenged them on a scientific and not political basis.
And alky, if you truly believed in the science of covid, you wouldn't be using any sources other than accredited scientific sources, and certainly not the bullshit peddled by the WaPo or NY Times.

Payrolls rose far more than expected in January despite surging omicron cases that seemingly sent millions of workers to the sidelines, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls surged by 467,000 for the month, while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Dow Jones estimate was for payroll growth of 150,000 and a 3.9% unemployment rate.
Covid-19 Commission Draws Bipartisan Backing
February 4, 2022 at 7:46 am EST By Taegan Goddard 19 Comments
New York Times:
“A broad and bipartisan group of senators is coalescing around legislation to create a high-level independent commission, modeled after the one that examined the Sept. 11 attacks, with broad powers to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and the response across the Trump and Biden administrations.”
SO EVEN SOME REPUBLICANS WANT THE TRUTH?
The U.S. economy added 467,000 jobs in January as the omicron variant spiked to record heights, with the labor market performing better than many expected because of the virus’s spread.
The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4 percent, from 3.9 percent the month before.
The monthly report, released by the Department of Labor, stems from a survey taken in mid-January, around the time the omicron variant was beginning to peak, with close to 1 million new confirmed cases each day. The rapid spread during that period upended many parts of the economy, closing schools, day cares, and a number of businesses, forcing parents to scramble.
The data in the new report is believed to be heavily affected by distortions from the virus, and there are signs the labor market has improved markedly since mid-January.
Nearly nine million workers were out sick around the time the survey was taken, and some of them could have been counted as unemployed based on the way the survey is conducted. With such high levels of infection in many parts of the country, it is likely that many businesses also paused hiring.
Shut up kputz
The U.S. economy added 467,000 jobs in January as the omicron variant spiked to record heights, with the labor market performing better than many expected because of the virus’s spread.

"unemployment rate edged higher to 4%"
I do.
The so called Science has been disastrously wrong.
Roger declared it was.
The Hopkins Study confirmed it.
There are signs that the labor-market squeeze from Omicron is easing. Jobless claims fell to 238,000 last week after surging to nearly 300,000 in mid-January. Workers in many major cities are starting to re-enter offices after a winter lull, according to Kastle Systems, a security firm that monitors access-card swipes.
February job gains “could potentially be very strong,” Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies LLC, said. The February report will capture employment gains tied to new hiring and the return of workers following the Omicron surge, including cafeteria workers at Ms. Markowska’s office building this week after a nearly two-month shutdown.
If the February growth as projected by the Wall Street Journal reported, the number will probably exceed 500,000.
LMAO:
Toward the end of the meeting, in which prominent CNN journalists went hard at Kilar over Zucker’s resignation, special correspondent Jamie Gangel spoke up. “The first calls I got this morning were from four members of the January 6 committee, who felt devastated for our democracy, because Jeff was not going to be around to make sure that CNN is able to do its job,” she said (later clarifying to colleagues that she meant to say four congresspeople, including one member of the committee).

It was during the Trump administration when, early in the spread of virus cases across the world, the United States leapt ahead of all other countries in the numbers of virus cases and deaths.
That took off and ascended toward the heights while Trump was still claiming it would soon go away like magic, and planning to "pack the churches" for Easter, and advocating injections of disinfectant and sunlight.

"A PANDEMIC REALLY JUST FOR THE UNVACCINATED"

________
SO MANY MORE LIVES could have been saved so much earlier and more recently except for Trump and his dismissive attitude.
He, above all others, sought to make this a political issue for his own benefit.
WITH TRUMP, EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS FIRST AND FOREMOST ABOUT TRUMP.
YOU CAN BE SURE THAT HISTORIANS WILL NOT HIDE THAT FACT.
The labor market resilience could alter expectations that economic growth would slow significantly in the first quarter after robust growth in the fourth quarter.
Economists had been bracing for a disappointment as the government surveyed businesses for payrolls in mid-January, when Omicron infections were peaking.
Data from the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, published in mid-January, showed 8.8 million people reported not being at work because of coronavirus-related reasons between Dec. 29 and Jan. 10. Its survey of small businesses also showed an increase in establishments reporting large negative impacts from the pandemic between Jan 10 and Jan. 16.
Workers who are out sick or in quarantine and do not get paid during the payrolls survey period are counted as unemployed in the establishment survey even if they still have a job with their companies. Lower-paid hourly workers in industries like healthcare as well as leisure and hospitality, who typically do not have paid sick leave, bore the brunt of the winter wave.
According to the latest government data, paid sick leave was available to 79% of civilian workers in March 2021.
Employment could increase further, with coronavirus infections subsiding. First-time applications for unemployment benefits dropped for a second straight week last week, retreating further from a three-month high touched in mid-January, the government reported on Thursday.
The United States is reporting an average of 354,399 new COVID-19 infections a day, sharply down from the more than 700,000 in mid-January, according to a Reuters analysis of official data.
The unemployment rate was at 4.0% in January. The government introduced new population assumptions, which caused a break in the series. January's jobless rate and other ratios from the household survey are not directly comparable to December.

For more than a hot second after the emergence of the omicron coronavirus variant, there was a major backlash from the right against President Biden having labeled our current state of affairs a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
The reason: The omicron variant rendered the coronavirus vaccines significantly less effective at stopping the spread. “What’s the point of vaccines or vaccine mandates?” a bunch of powerful people asked. They did so while deliberately ignoring both the vaccines’ continued assistance in slowing the spread (albeit at a reduced rate) and their continually strong performance in keeping people alive and out of the hospital.
It was shortsighted at the time, and it’s looking increasingly so now.
Story continues below advertisement
New data shows that on those same measures — literally the most vital ones — the gap between vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans remains stark. In fact, when you compare unvaccinated people to those most protected by the vaccines, the gap has grown.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data this week from Los Angeles County. The data covered the period between Nov. 7 and Jan. 8, which means the vast majority of cases involved came after the rise of omicron.
What you’ll see right away is that there are indeed lots of infections among both unvaccinated people and vaccinated people — more specifically, vaccinated people who haven’t gotten boosters. The latter accounted for a majority of cases, about 53 percent. A big reason for that is that they significantly outnumber the unvaccinated in the county, currently about 2 to 1. Unvaccinated people still got infected more frequently, but the gap closed.
Story continues below advertisement
Where the gap has not really closed — and indeed has arguably increased — is when you focus on the most serious cases, and when you compare the unvaccinated to those who have taken the most advantage of the vaccines.
Back in September, we got a big new data download from the CDC. It showed that during the spring and summer, unvaccinated people had been 10 times more likely to be hospitalized with the coronavirus and 11 times more likely to die. Those were big numbers that placed the importance of vaccination in stark relief.
After the introduction of boosters, we now have yet another category to compare to the unvaccinated: the boosted. And the gap is greater still.
Story continues below advertisement
The Los Angeles County data showed that at the tail end of the period in which the delta variant was predominant, unvaccinated people were 83 times more likely to be hospitalized than boosted people. Once omicron became predominant in early December and cases rose, the gap shrank. But it was still a 23-fold difference — greater than the gap in the larger study from earlier in the year.
The CDC also recently provided data from a larger study — similar to the spring-and-summer data from last year. In data for 25 jurisdictions covering the last three months of 2021, it found the death rate was 53 times higher among the unvaccinated than the boosted.
It’s gotten to the point where people who are vaccinated and boosted dying in a given week is apparently about 1 in a million — even less than dying in a car crash, as the New York Times’s David Leonhardt wrote.
As Leonhardt also noted, this is also hardly the first data to suggest a growing gap in outcomes between the unvaccinated and everyone else. Data from Seattle and New York City point in the same direction.
Interestingly, that larger 25-jurisdiction study showed that the smaller gap between the unvaccinated and the vaccinated-but-unboosted remained similar to the spring and summer: You were about 13 times more likely to die if you were unvaccinated, compared with 11 times before.

Mike Pence is going to destroy Donald Trump himself. Remember Barry Goldwater?
Federalist Society conference in Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. ― Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday is expected to rebut, again, claims by Donald Trump that Pence “could have overturned the election” to let Trump remain in power despite having lost in 2020 by more than 7 million votes.
Pence had already been scheduled to speak at the conservative Federalist Society’s conference in Florida, and advisers have indicated in recent days that he is likely to respond there to Trump’s latest attacks.
AD
Trump, who has long claimed that all he wanted Pence to do was send several electoral slates Democrat Joe Biden had won back to states to “correct” their mistakes, early this week stated clearly what his true goal had been all along: for Pence to unilaterally award Trump a second term.
On Sunday, Trump claimed in a statement that a bipartisan consensus in Congress to reform the 1887 Electoral Count Act to clarify the role of the vice president during the vote certification ceremony, held every four years, proves that Pence did have the authority to reinstall Trump as president if he’d wanted to do so.
“Unfortunately, he didn’t exercise that power, he could have overturned the election!” Trump wrote.
Two days later, Trump said the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that he’d incited should instead be investigating Pence for not doing what Trump wanted.
Pence, who is laying the groundwork for a presidential run in 2024, over the past year has only infrequently countered Trump’s false claims that he could have, on his own, kept Trump in office.
He first addressed the issue in a speech to New Hampshire Republicans early last June, telling his audience that though he and Trump may never see “eye to eye” about Jan. 6, he did what he had to do that day. “Thanks to swift action by Capitol Police and federal law enforcement, the violence was quelled, the Capitol was secured, and that same day we reconvened the Congress and did our duty under the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” he said.
It was an abnormally good jobs report. I attribute it to the natural economic forces in play.
Biden must reverse his policy on trade, global warming and carbon policy or the economy will tank.

“Members of the Republican National Committee are pushing forward with a resolution to censure Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, while stopping short of calling for their expulsion from the House Republican Conference,” Politico reports.

If The Federalist Society dumps Trump!
Three weeks later, Pence was more explicit on the topic at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California. “Now, there are those in our party who believe that in my position as presiding officer over the joint session, that I possessed the authority to reject or return electoral votes certified by states,” he said. “But the Constitution provides the vice president with no such authority before the joint session of Congress. And the truth is, there’s almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”
Trump stopped speaking to Pence at that point and gradually began repeating his false assertion, that he first made on the afternoon of Jan. 6 and which inflamed his mob even further, that Pence had the authority but “lacked the courage” to keep Trump in power.

Pence became the linchpin in Trump’s scheme to nullify the election after the Electoral College formally voted on Dec. 14, 2020, sealing Biden’s 306-232 victory. Trump’s White House and campaign aides had pushed for their supporters in several of the states that Biden won to send up slates of Trump “electors” anyway.
Pence would then be able to cite these “competing” slates of electors to ignore the electoral votes coming from those states entirely and then, with Trump holding a lead in the remaining states, rule him the winner.
Pence, though, made sure to sabotage that plan by crafting language that allowed him to ignore Trump’s fake slates from the outset.
Instead of asking the designated tally-keepers to “count and make a list of the votes cast by the electors of the several states,” as then-Vice President Biden had instructed four years earlier, Pence told them to “announce the votes cast by the electors for each state, beginning with Alabama, which the parliamentarian has advised me is the only certificate of vote from that state and purports to be a return from that state that has annexed to it a certificate from an authority of that state purporting to appoint or ascertain electors.”
Because only the true electors had such a certificate attached, that language necessarily excluded the fraudulent Trump slates.
Trump a year ago became the first president in more than two centuries of elections to refuse to hand over power peacefully. His incitement of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol ― his last-ditch attempt to remain in office ― killed five, including one police officer, injured 140 more officers and led to four police suicides.

“The leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a presidential election and suggests he would pardon Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy. I’m a constitutional conservative and I do not recognize those in my party who have abandoned the Constitution to embrace Donald Trump. History will be their judge.”

Rift Emerges Between Trump’s Interests and the GOP’s

“None of the officials assembled here for the Republican National Committee’s winter meetings are writing off former President Donald Trump. They all recognize his singular hold over the party’s electoral base,” NBC News reports.
“But a distinct chasm is emerging between Trump’s obsessions and the issues many GOP operatives consider crucial to winning the midterm elections in November.”

Kevin McCarthy Walks a Tightrope
February 4, 2022 at 7:57 am EST By Taegan Goddard 63 Comments
Punchbowl News: “With President Joe Biden and Democrats unable to move their agenda due to Senate GOP opposition, the American public’s frustration with the continuing Covid pandemic and soaring inflation felt across the country, and House Republicans seemingly on the march toward the majority, why would McCarthy want the spotlight on internecine fighting over Trump? The way the GOP leadership sees this, Kinzinger will be gone from Congress after the election and Cheney will lose in November.
“McCarthy has a tightrope to walk here. If he’s seen as protecting Cheney and Kinzinger, the California Republican risks damaging his relationship with the hard right – a relationship that was once rocky but is now largely under control.
"However, If he gives in to their demands, McCarthy puts the spotlight directly on his conference at a time when his best move is to keep a low profile.”
TRY TO KEEP THINGS UNDER WRAPS. THAT'S THE GOP TODAY.

35,077.20 -1,507.86 (-4.12%) year to date.
This needs to reverse course.
Like CS said, Biden needs to reverse his soul crushing economic policies.
Bottom up is is working far better than top down economics in 1980s.
The strong hiring gain, which was unexpected, demonstrates the eagerness of many employers to hire even as the pandemic maintains its grip on the economy. Businesses appear to have seen the Omicron wave as having, at most, a temporary effect on the economy and remain confident about longer-term growth.
The still-high number of people who have remained on the sidelines of the workforce has exacerbated a labor shortage and led employers to raise pay to try to draw them back in.
Keep up.the drone like cut n paste , seeing have zero economic knowledge of your own.

My God for Trump
For two years, the global steno pool has dutifully transcribed the words of Pope Fauci and the other high priests of the Covidian faith as officials routinely projected conjecture as irrefutable scientific fact. Surely, some in the herd noticed the contradictions and the exaggerations of potential harm. They often supported the attacks on and efforts to silence professionals who raised reasonable questions. Anyone watching closely enough would have witnessed the extraordinary step of YouTube taking down U.S. Senate committee hearings in which dissident voices were heard. The same people demanding warning labels for the likes of Joe Rogan steadfastly refused to hold officials to anything resembling a similar standard.
Instead of being rightly skeptical, and trusting their eyes and ears, they chose the narrative over reality. After all, it was all for your own good. Their intentions were purely honorable. We’re all in this together, they said. The measures are not just about you; they are also to protect others, they said. Followed to its logical end, the utilitarian approach not only justifies doing horrible things to people, it also allows one to do those things while cloaked in self-righteousness.

YOU ARE ALWAYS FUCKING WRONG FLUNKIE!!!!!!!! You should just pack your mommy's basement and move on.....BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! BTW....the WH was expecting poor jobs growth due to Omicron spiking....They did not post a number of 125k as you lied about!!!!!!!
The January jobs report will mark the first of the year for an administration that boasted record single-year job growth in its first year, along with an unemployment rate that dropped to 3.9%, from 6.7%, over the course of the 12-month period.
WILL REPUBLICANS EVER DEVELOP THE GONADS TO CALL TRUMP WHAT HE IS?
Why do they have to development "GONADS? When Trump was the best thing to happen to the GOP since slice bread.
Pretty sure the Republicans wouldn't have won without Trump as head of the ticket.
On the other hand he needs to concentrate on issues and not whine about the past election. That's not going to help him.
r Brian Deese speaks during a press briefing at the White House in Washington, U.S., July 2, 2021.
Kevin Lamarque | Reuters
The White House on Friday warned that the omicron-fueled spike in Covid-19 cases in early January could skew the data in next week’s jobs report, as millions of Americans left work due to illness or to care for family members.
Brian Deese, President Joe Biden’s top economic advisor, told CNBC on Friday that the way the Labor Department collects employment data may have a pronounced effect on the January 2022 data and could show a greater number of unemployed people.
“The way that the government samples the data is to take a snapshot in an individual week,” Deese, the director of the National Economic Council, said an interview on “Closing Bell.”
“And if somebody is out sick for that week — even if they have not been laid off, if they weren’t paid getting paid sick leave — they will not be counted as employed,” he added. Americans “need to be prepared for January employment data that could look a little strange.”
Deese’s comments underscored the uncertainty about this month’s employment picture. Economists polled by Dow Jones are expecting a gain of about 200,000 jobs for January, although some analysts on Wall Street are expecting a loss.
The White House does not get access to sensitive economic data, including the monthly jobs report, until the day before it’s released. The data is provided to the Council of Economic Advisers, which often shares it with the president.
Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are down in the US as deaths also start to plateau, latest data shows
From CNN's Deidre McPhillips
As the Biden administration continues to battle the Omicron variant and push for vaccinations, latest US data shows cases and hospitalizations are trending downward.
New movements on vaccines could also soon expand who is eligible to get the shot. The White House said it is ready to "hit the ground running" to vaccinate children age six months to 5 years old as soon as Pfizer/BioNTech receives emergency use authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine for that age group.
December, which initially was reported as a gain of 199,000, went up to 510,000. November surged to 647,000 from the previously reported 249,000. For the two months alone, the initial counts were revised up by 709,000. The revisions came as part of the annual adjustments from the BLS that saw sizeable changes for many of the months in 2021.
Those changes brought the 2021 total to 6.665 million, easily the biggest single-year gain in U.S. history.
The fact is that even immunized people can get infected again, but the vaccinated patients almost never die.
So it's fact because you say so and I should listen to Roger?
Yet, the Minnesota Department of health suggests that 320 fully vaccinated people in Minnesota just died in December.
But I shouldn't trust the MN Dept of Health because some old man in a nursing home who needs his bananas cut for him says differently?
RRB doesn't think Aaron Blake has the right to cite CDC data?
What I saw from WaPo Aaron Blake and others was not actual data, but some interpretation of data from the CDC that apparently took 25 data sets and made some determination based on those specific data sets. Not sure what 25 areas and why those were chosen, nor do I really know how they are parcing it out. Seems like someone picking and choosing to make a point (as has been the CDC modus operandi for some time).
The Minnesota Department of Health is providing the data and it is not taken a bit from here and a bit from there. It is just raw comprehensive fully inclusive data from the entire state.
320 fully vaccinated people died in December in Minnesota, which has been a leader in mandates and lock downs. I doubt very seriously that the raw data from any other state would be much (if at all) different.
Again... 320 fully vaccinated people died in Minnesota in December alone.

Joe Biden touted the 6.6 million jobs that have been added to the US economy in the year since he took office, describing it as a historic recovery.
“It comes alongside the largest drop in unemployment rate in a single year on record, the largest reduction in childhood poverty ever recorded in a single year and the strongest economic growth this country has seen in nearly 40 years,” Biden said.
But the president also acknowledged that many American families have not been able to fully enjoy the country’s economic recovery because US prices have increased sharply as businesses have reopened.
“Average people are getting clobbered by the cost of everything,” Biden said. “Gas prices at the pump are up. We’re working to bring them down, but they’re up. Food prices are up. We’re working to bring them down as well.”
The White House has pledged to enact policies aimed at tackling inflation, which has become a major concern for Americans and could be a drag on Democrats’ midterm prospects.
CDC
Bottom Line: COVID-19 vaccines protect everyone ages 5 years and older against severe illness, including disease caused by the Delta variant and other variants circulating in the United States.
Key PointsCOVID-19 vaccines protect everyone ages 5 years and older from getting infected and severely ill, and significantly reduce the likelihood of hospitalization and death.Getting vaccinated is the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent infection by Delta or other variants.A vaccine breakthrough infection happens when a fully vaccinated person gets infected with COVID-19. People with vaccine breakthrough infections may spread COVID-19 to others.Even if you are fully vaccinated, if you live in an area with substantial or high transmission of COVID-19, you – as well as your family and community – will be better protected if you wear a mask when you are in indoor public places.People who are immunocompromised may not always build adequate levels of protection after an initial 2-dose primary mRNA COVID-19 vaccine series. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, until advised otherwise by their healthcare professional.
Further, CDC recommends that moderately or severely immunocompromised people receive an additional primary dose of vaccine.What We Know about Vaccine Breakthrough InfectionsVaccine breakthrough infections are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing most infections.
However, like other vaccines, they are not 100% effective.Fully vaccinated people with a vaccine breakthrough infection are less likely to develop serious illness than those who are unvaccinated and get COVID-19.Even when fully vaccinated people develop symptoms, they tend to be less severe symptoms than in unvaccinated people. This means they are much less likely to be hospitalized or die than people who are not vaccinated.
People who get vaccine breakthrough infections can be contagious.
CDC is collecting data on vaccine breakthrough infections and is closely monitoring the safety and effectiveness of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized COVID-19 vaccines.
Because vaccines are not 100% effective, as the number of people who are fully vaccinated goes up, the number of vaccine breakthrough infections will also increase. However, the risk of infection remains much higher for unvaccinated than vaccinated people.

There are two realities.
You live in one that you create.
The other one is where!
Normal people believe in science.
Elderly people who have been vaccinated can get infected again and only 320 died.
Your opinions are not scientific.
If they hadn't been vaccinated, thousands more people would have died.
You have lost your mind Scott.
If they hadn't been vaccinated, thousands more people would have died. You have lost your mind Scott.
So Roger...
Just so we are clear here.
You say that a fully vaccinated person has about a one out of million chance of dying from Covid... and I point out that 320 fully vaccinated people have died in Minnesota just in December alone.
And what you get out of this is that I don't believe that vaccinated help at all in spite of the fact that my post states exactly the opposite?
This is your problem Roger.
Literally no comprehensive abilities (did you bother to read my post before attacking me?) and no ability to see any shades of grey in anything. Just black and white. A problematic and sad sign of senility.
You choose to believe what you agree with because you can't think objectively.
The tribalism in your DNA is in control of your mind Scott.
You probably can't get objective thinking, because of your opinions about politics and again you DNA from Europe.
The only reason why I am still here is because of a 20 year involvement. And I enjoy keeping my mind active, instead of like a lot of older men who just sit back and wait to die.
You don't believe that vaccinated help by your own words.
Liberals generally blame the unvaccinated for the fact that covid continues to spread–recently.
my post states exactly the opposite?
And your own words call vaccine injections are effective is fake news.
We can no longer PRETEND that this is just unvaccinated people being affected or that it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The numbers simply no longer support this and at the end of the day the number mean EVERYTHING!
Just black and white. A problematic and sad sign of alzheimers symptoms.
Seriously you should get examined by your doctor. There are a few treatments that can delay the onset of more severe symptoms.
A medication known as memantine, an N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, is prescribed to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. This drug's main effect is to decrease symptoms, which could enable some people to maintain certain daily functions a little longer than they would without the medication.

I won't mention it again.
But I actually care.
Alky,
If all you have at your disposal to defend your arguments is declaring your opponent 'crazy' afflicted with Alzheimer's, etc., you're full of shit to begin with and possess no ability to defend your point of view.
