[Filed under "Seedy Politicians" because Fauci is one]
Exactly where I would have filed it, for exactly that reason.
[ArmstrongEconomics] Eugenio Derbez interviews Fauci and actually asks questions about the vaccines you will NEVER hear any mainstream pretend-journalist ask because they are just part of the Fake News Network & Cancel Culture of today.
In Hawaii, at least three fully vaccinated against COVID-19 were later infected with the virus. The Department of Health said they’re not surprised and people should not be alarmed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, current vaccines are between 66 and 95 percent effective. The vaccine does NOT prevent infection. It is said to only lower the risk of hospitalization and severe symptoms. The real question is — why does everyone need the vaccine? It appears only those at high risk should be subjected to it since Fauci states a grandmother who is vaccinated can still hug a daughter and granddaughter who are not vaccinated. It appears that the answer is simply because this has been made political rather than medical.

I have a neighbor who is utterly terrified of COVID but has now "resumed his normal life" after getting the vaccine. I wish him no ill, but I can just imagine his "voted for Biden" dudgeon if things don't go his way now.

The video was refreshing in terms of the questions posed and watching Fauxi lie and squirm.
I never heard of Sr. Derbez before. Actor or comedian or something? No matter. We'll see how long that video remains up on the Web.

Vaccines do not promise to prevent all infection, Clem. They promise to provide resistance that makes the illness less dangerous to the patient. Even childhood vaccinations have been discovered not to give lifelong immunity, and so boosters for a number of things are now recommended to be given to adults. Tetanus shots, for instance, have long been given every ten years during adulthood, even after the usual five doses in childhood and a sixth during adolescence.
The flu vaccine also does not completely prevent getting that years’ influenza, but increases the body’s resistance to the infection such that if it can’t fight it off, the disease that results is less severe, exactly as if the person had had the illness previously. We see the Covid-19 vaccine having a real life effect because hospitalizations and deaths among the first vaccinated have fallen significantly.
There was an article posted here last month that reported that among young Marines at boot camp, 6% of whom had had Covid previously, 10% or 0.6% of all the boot campers (or whatever the correct term is) got sick again. But those who tested as infected a second time had low or no symptoms, and turned out to have had a lower level of antibodies from the first infection than the 90% who’d successfully resisted reinfection.
This compares to those Marines who had not had Covid previously, 48% of whom fell ill.
Snowy Thing, the linked article is the one I was unable to find when we were talking about you being allowed to visit your mother in the hospital. Not that it would have changed any minds.
[Townhall] President Joe Biden's original nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tanden, pulled her nomination after it was revealed that she made a number of salacious remarks about Republican lawmakers. The person poised to take Tanden's spot is Shalanda Young, who was originally picked as the nominee for the OMB deputy director position. As it turns out, Young also has a questionable (recent) past.
While Young's nomination for the deputy director position originally received little scrutiny and mostly bipartisan support, members of Congress are looking closer into her past. A statement she made on the Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayer funds from being used for abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or a threat to the mother's life, is what caused a number of Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and the Budget Committees to vote against her nomination.
According to Young, women need to have access to abortion because it's considered "a matter of economic and racial justice."
"The President has spoken in favor of Congress ending the Hyde Amendment as part of his commitment to providing comprehensive health care for all women," Young wrote in her written answer about the Hyde Amendment. "Further, eliminating the Hyde Amendment is a matter of economic and racial justice because it most significantly impacts Medicaid recipients, who are low-income and more likely to be women of color."
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Ranking Member, Rob Portman (R-OH), previously supported Young's position for deputy director until he learned about her stance on the Hyde Amendment.
"This is one where our country is so deeply divided on abortion, where we've been able to come together and decide, at a minimum, let's not tell people with a deep view based on their conscience on this, that they have to pay taxpayer funds for abortion," Portman explained.

Going to out myself as a fence sitter here. I definitely believe abortion is a bad thing. I also feel strongly most of the creatures that want one have no business contributing to the gene pool in the first place. Right result from the wrong process?

Having access to abortion is one thing. Who pays for this elective procedure is another.

I'd vote against anyone that doesn't have a real name.
"I hear that most people aren’t even coming into work, and the offices at the Capitol are empty," said one well-placed insider in touch with staffers in recent days.
"He’ll fight and fight and fight, but the staffers I’ve talked to are ready for him to hang up the gloves. Everyone feels like there is an inevitable conclusion — I mean at some point will Biden call on him to step down? They [staffers] just want this torture to stop."
...At least five aides have announced their resignations in the past two weeks.
Cuomo on Friday denied any wrongdoing, while refusing to step aside and blaming "cancel culture" for the growing calls for his ouster.
Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said Saturday the claims about a staff exodus are "greatly exaggerated."
"There’s a budget to be done in two weeks, the largest vaccination effort is state history to stand up and the continued efforts to successfully fight this once in a century pandemic and that’s what the hard working members of this administration and the state workforce are focused on — period," he said.

[NYPOST] The Biden administration has decided not to allow Fourth of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore — citing the COVID-19 pandemic — in a reversal of former President Donald Trump's ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... decision to allow them at the national monument.
The National Parks Service made the call despite Biden saying in a primetime speech Thursday that COVID-19 likely will wane to the point of life nearing normal by July 4.
Parks Service Regional Director Herbert Frost wrote to South Dakota’s tourism office that it it is "only prudent to make plans based on the best available science and public health guidance available today."

Is that NC seat winnable by a rookie with controversy due to her name? NC is highly competitve due to the fraud in the Dem controlled cities. Need overwhelming local support, and that means need the best native to the area.
Try Mark Meadows, served as Congressional Rep and won a few times, resigned to become Trump's Chief of Staff, was Tea Party and stayed true Trump supporter, but doesn't have as much baggage in-state as Laura Trump would have, and has a better rep and already knows how to campaign in the state.
Laura would be a big mistake, and the Senate race is not the place to make such mistakes. President Trump needs to gently redirect her. Maybe run for Congress Rep, or a State Wide office instead, to lay the groundwork for a few years down the road, get to know the ins and outs of local campaigning, and learn who the Dem/Lefty power brokers are in NC, and how to counter them in the state-wide races as well as learning how the GOP wiorks in that state to win state wide races.
Big Mistake by The Donald if true.

So carpet-bagging is alive and well? Seems to me the position requires you to be an actual resident of the state you represent, hopefully for a long time, not just a fiction of legal residency. If she wants to run in the state she's actually been living in, then fine.
In general I'm not in favor of ANY dynasty.
N.B. - Meghan McCain, Liz Cheney, any of the Kennedy brood, Jeb!, FDR, do I need to go on?

^ Yes. Carpetbagging has gone poorly for Repubs since the end of Reconstruction.

This is a really bad idea...NC has been trending blue for awhile now...and the anti-Trump vote is the fuel the D political machine needs to win that Senate seat. I am not sure what any sane conservative in NC would see in a rich TV producer whose only accomplishment is to marry a Trump. All of the conservatives in NC that I know (and I know a lot of them) identify with working class conservatives like themselves...former military, LE, emergency services... The Senate has very few veterans - we need more of those and fewer folks that successfully avoided service but aspire to be ruling class.
She may have NC roots, but the Wrightsville Beach area is not a conservative hot spot if ya know what I mean...not much of a base to build on.

We moved across the border to SC a few years ago because NC was getting so nutty.
The Republican candidate only won the Senate race last November because one month before the election it turned out that Cal Cunningham, the Democrat, was fooling around with his wife with at least 2 other women--and, credit where credit is due, WRAL in Raleigh called him on it. Even then, it was a very close call.
In SC, even Lindsey won with 57% of the vote.

President Trump trolling the Progs. The Legend continues.
We'll see how seriously they take it when Nancy makes a response move.
How else are they to replace masses of current voters with ones better suited for their purpose?
[NYPOST] "BIDEN," say the young demonstrators’ T-shirts, imitating his campaign logo, "PLEASE LET US IN!" What a waste of T-shirt money: For President Biden seems determined to let in as many immigrants colonists as want to come.
The numbers are daunting. About 80,000 people tried to cross the southern border this January, double the number in January 2020. That number could easily balloon this spring, traditionally the peak migration season, with fewer COVID-19 restrictions in place.
And with less cooperation from Mexico. The 2019 illegal surge was quashed by the protocol to which then-President Donald Trump

If they can stuff counterfeit ballots then why care about real voters?
They see the voters barely as people and for sure not as peers, not even the ones who do vote for them. We're just a means to their ends, a mass to be controlled to gain them what they want at the time, and at this point, they don't even feel like they have to lie to us anymore. They can be blatant about the fact they don't care, because they believe they have all of the power. We are simply a commodity to be either controlled and used, or done away with if we aren't on board with furthering their goals and agendas. And I think that's why they are afraid, because they know there are those of us waking up and starting to see it. And that we don't like it.

look to what the masters of the Left want: it is 8 years down the road when these all get amnesty and start voting. Unpopular now2, but if you are playing the long game to topple the US and retain power for the left at all costs, taking political heat now that pays off big time in a few years is what seems acceptable to them.
I notice nobody in the GOP seems to care about anything beyond the latest shiny threat, and nobody seems to be planning long term for conservatism. The time to set up to defeat these RINOs in congress was 4 years ago. The time to go after the crooked Dems was 4 years ago - instead of hiring them into the Administration, trump should have been cleaning the house. They should already have challengers ready to go after Murkowski in Alaska. Same for Sasse in Nebraska. Should be laying groundwork now for Arizona. And there should already be vetting and setting up for a replacement for Graham in SC, Cornyn in Texas (and maybe Cruz since he has been weak lately - lots of twitter but not much real results).
Keep staying short-sighted when they are playing the long game will eventually destroy the Conservatives and libertarians, and end up with a country run by fascist elites and their government cronies.

The boot lickers and 'Coutiers of power.'
Like the nobles assembled under the king's roof at Versailles, official Washington divides the known world into only two parts. First there is Washington, and then there is every place else. The planes arriving and departing National Airport cross the only frontier of any consequence - the one between the inside and the outside - and all the truly momentous topics of conversation center on one question, which is always and unfailingly the same: Who's in and who's out?
~ Lews H. Lapham 'The Wish for Kings' Chapter 3, Versailles on the Potomac, page 77. Published in Canada by General Publishing Company LTD, 1993.

Also see the Dems' immigration and racemongering playbook, The Emerging Democratic Majority by Ruy Texeira.
They're so blatant about their goals -- because GOPpers are moronic wimps, and also because the strategy worked beautifully to turn a two-party, competitive state into one-party Mexifornia.
Republicans cannot have a prayer at winning national elections again until they go hard against illegal immigration.
That issue far more than any other explains Trump's rise. Had he stuck to that issue and made lasting changes to our insane immigration policy, Trump would still be POTUS today.
[BREITBART] Washington really is the last nakedly racist place in America. And the very face of this city’s institutional racism is President Biden himself.Welcome to the White Privilege Presidency.
Mr. Biden is living proof that no matter how dumb you are or how wrong you have always been or how many things you have screwed up, if you are just White enough and willing to wait around long enough accomplishing nothing, the kingship will eventually be yours.
This is a guy who had been rejected by voters — often in his own party — in his endless quest for the presidency many times during his five decades running his mouth in Washington. It was only when a gifted political outsider needed an old White guy for a running mate that Mr. Biden’s ticket to the White House finally got punched.

[NYPOST] President Joe Bidn ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...... is hitting the road to boost public support for his massive $1.9 trillion COVID stimulus plan — before Republican sniping can burst the bubble.Biden, Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... and their spouses will head to half a dozen swing states and districts, including New Jersey, in the coming days in what the administration has dubbed the "Help Is Here" tour.
Their aim: tout the most popular parts of the American Rescue Plan Act, including the $1,400 stimulus checks heading to most Americans and a new $3,600-per-child rebate for parents, to head off criticism of the billions of dollars’ worth of non-COVID-related spending tucked into the bill’s fine print.
"This is the largest expansion of the welfare state since Lyndon Baines Johnson in the 1960s," Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) told Fox News.
First Lady Jill Biden will kick off the multi-state trek Monday with a visit to a school in New Jersey’s Burlington County, NJ.com reported — a stop meant to boost Rep. Andy Kim, a two-term Democrat whose South Jersey seat is in the GOP’s crosshairs. There's $1.2 trillion in circulation. Doesn't an additional $1.9 trillion suggest inflation to anyone?

Are these people like Warnock implying that black people cannot grow food as well as other races or ethnicities? Seems that way to me. Sounds pretty racist.

It is exempt from civil rights legislation because it applies to whites, not blacks (no, words do not actually mean anything.)
[Breitbart] Jessica Bakeman, a journalist formerly stationed at the New York State Capitol, has come forward as the seventh woman to level allegations of sexual harassment against embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
Bakeman broke her silence about Cuomo in an essay published in The New Yorker on Friday, alleging that the governor placed his arm around her shoulders during a party at the Executive Mansion in 2012.
"He left it there, and kept me pinned next to him, for several minutes as he finished telling his story," Bakeman, now an education reporter for Miami’s WLRN, recalled. "I stood there, my cheeks hot, giggling nervously as my male colleagues did the same. We all knew it was wrong, but we did nothing."

— Jessica Bakeman (@jessicabakeman) December 21, 2012
In another instance, Bakeman alleges that the governor held her body tightly while she said goodnight at a holiday party in 2014.
"He took my hand, as if to shake it, then refused to let go," she recalled. "He put his other arm around my back, his hand on my waist, and held me firmly in place while indicating to a photographer he wanted us to pose for a picture."
According to Bakeman, Cuomo’s behavior toward her was not about sex but rather exerting "power."
"He wanted me to know that he could take my dignity away at any moment with an inappropriate comment or a hand on my waist," she wrote.
"The way he bullies and demeans women is different," she added. "He uses touching and sexual innuendo to stoke fear in us. That is the textbook definition of sexual harassment."
