#3  I never figured Paul was good for much of anything. Again, I was wrong. Keep the pressure on this monster Senator. Flush out his Chinese connections as well as those who empowered him as well.

#4  Why would Fauci declare the vaccine safe if it almost killed him? I’m starting to think that he might have been lying about some stuff.

#5  I'm suspicious that Tony (don't call me Mengele) Science even took the vaccine. He knew all about it, much like his pushes for Remdesivir and other killer "treatments".

#11  ^^Why?

The news is really horrid nowadays, they just spew a butch of word salads (which I suspect is mostly AI generated) and never get to he point until way into the articles, if at all.

It's almost like the authors are getting paid by the word!

#14  I have to wonder, after his actions on aids killing thousands, and his repeat of the same on COVID, the question arises as to what else?? What else did he do that hurt Americans in the name of his personal profit and fame???

#15  To bad the son of a bitch didn't die!

No, no, chris. We want him to live many more years...inside a federal penitentiary.

#16  we don't know the severity of fauci's pulmonary infarction; although it was 'potentially life threatening', it probably wasn't given the limited treatment he received

also, although the time suggests it was related to the vaccine, it might not have anything to do with it - Fauci was about 80 yr old at the time

#18  Re: #16

Fauci, in view of hi limited treatment, probabily suffered from RSV.

#20  No doubt someone will “discover” that his X-times great-grandmother converted in the face of the Inquisition or something. In these excitable times, I’m surprised the rumours weren’t flying ages ago.

#22  Fauci is in trouble and he knows it. If he answers the questions from Congress, he opens himself to be prosecuted by one or more of the states, who will be thrilled to prosecute him and discovery for that trial would open an enormous can of worms. Fauci has nothing to lose by stalling and going to court, he figures with a little luck he'll be dead long before a final court decision is made

#23  18^
Fauci's infarction was in June 2021, we did not have RSV vaccines then

but now we do

#24  I’m ok with him spending the rest of his life in courtrooms, paying top rated lawyers by the quarter hour to sit silently out in the hall while he pleads the Fifth with his very own mouth in front of the whole world.

#25  I would like a "Dr. Fauci Travel/Restroom facility" somewhere out in the desert so people could make a pilgrimage to shit there

Olde Tyme Religion
Talarico Claims That Islam Shaped His Faith As Much As Christianity
[PJM] Texas Opie does the Pander Bear cosplay
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is facing renewed scrutiny after previously overlooked audio resurfaced showing him crediting Islamic mystics and the Muslim Sufi poet Rumi with shaping his Christian faith as much as Christian authors.

The remarks came during an April 2024 appearance on The State of Belief podcast alongside Muslim Texas Democrat state Rep. Salman Bhojani. In the interview, Talarico praised interfaith dialogue and said it had deepened his understanding of Christianity.

Talarico’s current "girlfriend", Brianna Menard, was working as a staffer for Bhojani at the time of the interview, according to the Texas Scorecard. RNC Research and The Daily Wire rediscovered the 2024 podcast.

"I know personally that I've learned as much about my faith from Salman's tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors and Christian writers," said Talarico, who was then a state lawmaker and pastor at the far-left woke St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. His remarks, which listeners can view as theologically inconsistent with traditional Christian doctrine, did not appear to faze him.

He added that conversations with people of other faiths do not weaken religious conviction but instead strengthen it by bringing "new flavors and new colors" to one's tradition. Talarico also quoted the 13th-century Persian mystic Rumi, saying, "In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion."

The resurfaced comments arrive as Talarico campaigns across Texas while frequently describing his beliefs as rooted in "biblical Christianity." Critics argue that his previous statements present a markedly different theological message than the one he emphasizes on the campaign trail.

The latest controversy follows renewed attention to remarks Talarico made during a 2021 interview in which he described himself as "a Christian who hates Christianity." He later explained that he was criticizing institutional Christianity while remaining committed to the teachings of Jesus.

#2  Politicians will say anything to get the vote...

I'll then guess his speech in Austin will be about his own toxic masculinity and potential dalliance in cross-dressing.
