If this was already posted, sorry ... one of my buddies just sent it to me.
Based on the deaths verse the infections none of this should've ever happened. I see dumbfucks still wearing masks even though the CDC said this week cloth an surgical masks do not work.

I can’t figure out whose more retarded. 80 percent of liberal’s that think trump is going to jail or 5 percent of conservatives that think trump is still president.
The people who think he’s still president are the dumbest of the dumb. The Q syop has been exposed for a long time. But the fact the the 1/6 commission isn’t investigating Q and it’s origins is all you need to know that Q was a CIA or FBI Syop. But the Q tards aren’t smart enough to see that.
the people that think Trump is going to jail. Have been brainwashed for so long that they can’t see fake news. That’s not as bad as a person who claims to have taken the red pill

I hear ya on spending time with the kids that eventually go away. Ours is in a huge production of 'cat's' in a lead role and was supposed to go to Costa Rica in March. On Sunday night tore her ACL skiing. Not good.
You ever considered having a trustworthy older back up sled? I suggest an Arctic Cat, with a Suzuki engine.
Sorry to hear about her Injury. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

I agree ... Candace would be just fine IMO but no real experience. I like the idea of Carson more than anyone else because it also fills that checklist item of a "diverse ticket" vs. the traditional "old white guy" ticket. Crenshaw is another one that I like, but I also tend to agree that he's kind of a RINO.
Crenshaw is a rino puppet. He just attacked an 11 year old girl at a townhall over a question she asked. He’s a false profit. Just like Christy Noem

No Candace Owens, she’s a member of the msm.
honestly Rand Paul would be the best pick.
i don’t want Trump to run because I can’t take four years of the media circus. Plus he won’t make the changes that need to happen. Plus he’s still pushing the death jabs callint himself the father of the Covid vaccines. Claiming he saved millions. Fucking idiot

Why not? mRNA covid vaccines, as well as traditional such as the J&J, were rushed because there were no alternatives.
I think whomever wants it should get it.
There were alternatives “Ivermectin and Hydrocroxy Cloriquine” work to fight off the virus once infected.
the entire purpose of the vaccines is two fold. First huge profits for big pharma and two mass control of the population.

Lol, so wait, she's been fine for over a year and a half since she had covid, gets a booster shot a year and a half later, 5 days after booster she's having heart issues, but it's from covid she had a year and a half ago..........Really?? You want to run with that??
I don't buy into a lot of this covid crap from either side, rarely do I even comment, but sometimes you just read that one thing and I think...Wow, people are really seriously this fucked up in the head..
My grandmother got the booster and three days later was rushed to the hospital. Her heart is swollen and they told her they can’t do anything for her. She has to use oxygen now as well. She’s never had covid but according to DeepCunt the shots don’t affect your heart.

CDC Finally Admits Cloth Masks Were Always Political Theater
IMAGE CREDITMAXPIXELMask mandates have always been more about showing compliance than keeping people safe, and the CDC’s latest embarrassing disclosure further proves it.

For two years now, to walk into a grocery store barefaced has been to risk soliciting dirty stares, at least in some parts of the country. But walk in with your face covered by a thin piece of fabric, preferably with some vaguely woke slogan, that you got overpriced on Etsy? You’re golden.
Masks have been obvious political theater from the start, back when Anthony Fauci et al. promised we didn’t need them and then flip-flopped and promised we did. But when sensible observers tried to point that out, the Big Tech-media cabal gleefully slapped them with “fact” “checks.”
When The Federalist ran the headline “Many Studies Find That Cloth Masks Do Not Stop Viruses Like COVID” in November 2020, Lead Stories attempted to “fact-check” the piece, slapping a red “masks work” label over a screenshot of the original article.
The “fact-check” even cited data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the effectiveness of masks against COVID-19, where the CDC insisted, “Cloth masks not only effectively block most large droplets (i.e., 20-30 microns and larger), but they can also block the exhalation of fine droplets and particles,” and “cloth mask materials can also reduce wearers’ exposure to infectious droplets through filtration.”
Yet the same CDC quietly admitted on Friday that the thin cloth masks the agency and its corporate media allies spent the last two years cheering actually “provide the least protection” against COVID-19. It was “the first time the C.D.C. has explicitly addressed” the relative ineffectiveness of cloth masks, according to The New York Times.
The agency’s concession comes on the heels of admissions from people like CNN’s Leana Wen that “cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic.”
This latest reversal in a long line of trust-eroding flip-flops means a victory lap is well deserved by people like Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who was censored by Google-owned YouTube for suggesting that cloth masks don’t work and N95s do. It’s also deserved by everyone who refused to hang a piece of useless fabric from their ears at every restaurant, store, and airport for the sole purpose of fitting into the popular political narrative.
But taking a deserved victory lap shouldn’t keep us from anticipating the reason the CDC, CNN, and others are quietly shifting the talking points and hoping we’ll forget their track record. We can’t let them memory-hole their old narrative, but we also can’t afford to be fooled into the coming narrative that everyone from kindergarteners to marching bands must now strap on a medical-grade N95 mask until this never-ending pandemic ends.
It’s already happening in Los Angeles County, where the Los Angeles Times noted a “big push for Californians to switch to N95 or KN95 masks” as an updated county health order that went into effect Monday requires employers to provide not just masks for their employees but “a well-fitting medical grade mask, surgical mask or higher-level respirator, such as an N95 filtering facepiece respirator or KN95.”
Yes, N95s are more effective than cloth masks, and we’ve been saying that from the beginning. Hazmat suits are more effective too, but that doesn’t mean we should all walk around the grocery store like we’re in a post-apocalyptic world of toxic fumes.
Nor does it mean we should let the COVID bureaucrats get away with mandating N95s, considering every other COVID mandate handed down for the past two years has proven ineffective. Extended, state-mandated lockdowns did more harm than good, the mandated vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission or infection, and the CDC just admitted many of those masks they forced people to wear for two years were more or less pointless.
COVID demands a risk-benefit analysis that varies widely from situation to situation and person to person. If you’re in a particularly high-risk situation — say, you have the sniffles but you’re going to visit your immuno-compromised grandmother in an assisted living facility — and you want to take extra precaution, you can stay home or wear an N95. If you’re young and healthy and going out to eat with a group of friends — or sitting in a classroom, or going on a jog, or anything else — and you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t.
But mandating N95 masks for every activity of normal life, to ward off a mild variant of a virus that poses little risk to many Americans by the CDC’s own admission, is just as senseless as lugging around the useless cloth muzzles we’ve been told to keep in our cars and pockets for 22 months. Mask mandates have always been more about showing compliance than keeping people safe, and the CDC’s latest embarrassing disclosure further proves it.

More Trouble for the FBI in the Whitmer Kidnapping Case
In a stunning move, defense lawyers now want prosecutors to offer immunity not to their clients but to FBI agents and informants.The media went wild last week after Joe Biden’s Justice Department finally produced a criminal indictment to support the claim that January 6 was an “insurrection” planned by militiamen loyal to Donald Trump: Eleven members of the Oath Keepers, including its founder, Stewart Rhodes, face the rarely used charge of seditious conspiracy for their brief and nonviolent involvement at the Capitol protest that day.
Journalists luxuriated in the news, jeering those of us who had correctly noted that the Justice Department had failed to charge anyone with insurrection or sedition for more than a year.
But the press does not share the same zeal in covering another politically charged investigation: the imploding criminal case against five men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. The kidnapping narrative shares many similarities with their preferred telling of January 6, not the least of which is that alleged militias incited by Trump attempted to carry out a domestic terror attack.
Despite wall-to-wall coverage after the charges in the Michigan case were announced right before Election Day, the corporate media has almost completely memory-holed the abduction caper. Stewart Rhodes is a household name; Stephen Robeson, a convicted felon and the chief FBI informant in the Whitmer case accused of all sorts of malfeasance, is not.
The reason, of course, is that exposing how the FBI set a trap to lure down-on-their-luck men—one of the codefendants referred to Adam Fox, the alleged plot leader, as “Captain Autism”—into their kidnapping ruse would run afoul of the media’s insistence that the government had nothing to do with the events of January 6, despite plenty of proof that hundreds of FBI agents and informants were involved before and during the Capitol protest. (A top FBI official recently refused under oath to say whether FBI agents or assets engaged in or incited violent criminal behavior on January 6.)
Perhaps the media considers it a mere coincidence that the head of the FBI Detroit field office overseeing the Whitmer plot was promoted to head of the FBI Washington, D.C. field office several weeks before January 6?
Defense attorneys in the Whitmer case are making a strong case for FBI entrapment, detailing egregious misconduct by the agency, and asking a judge to dismiss the charges. At least a dozen FBI agents and confidential human sources orchestrated the kidnapping scheme; defense attorneys claim the feds “actively planned and coordinated its efforts to induce the defendants to engage in incriminating behavior and statements, even going so far as designing the objective and structural components of the [kidnapping] conspiracy.”
In a stunning move, defense lawyers now want prosecutors to offer immunity not to their clients but to FBI agents and informants. A new defense filing took the rare step of asking the judge to order the Justice Department to offer “use immunity” to every FBI asset involved in the plot. Fearing they will invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in court, defense attorneys are attempting to compel testimony that would be immune from prosecution, except charges of perjury.
John Kiyonaga, a D.C. criminal defense attorney representing a few January 6 defendants, told me over the weekend that the request is “mind blowingly rare.”
Prosecutors are desperate to conceal the FBI’s animating, and likely criminal, role in the Whitmer plot. The Justice Department notified the court in December that three of the top FBI agents on the case—including Richard Trask, the FBI investigator who signed the criminal complaint against the federal defendants in October 2020—have been removed from the government’s witness list. (The trial is set for March 8.)
Trask, in fact, was fired by the FBI—a near-impossible feat—after he was arrested for assaulting his wife in a drunken rage following a swingers party last summer. Reporters also discovered several anti-Trump tirades posted on Trask’s social media accounts.
“The investigation in this case was based primarily on the efforts of FBI agents and confidential human sources,” wrote Scott Graham, the attorney representing Kaleb Frank, one of five men facing conspiracy to kidnap charges, punishable by a life sentence. “Normally, these people would testify at trial and would answer relevant questions posed by both sides to the case. The entrapment defense directed at both groups would be argued by the parties and decided by the jury. This case, however, is different from most. It is now apparent that a number of both the agents and sources have reason to refuse to testify by invoking their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.”
Prosecutors also don’t plan to call on Stephen Robeson, the informant who coordinated every surveillance and training trip related to the caper. Not only has Robeson been charged with committing at least two crimes while working the Whitmer plot, the Justice Department accuses him (implausibly) of acting as a “double agent.”
Defense attorneys aren’t buying the government’s latest excuse to keep Robeson, a longtime FBI source, off the witness stand. Robeson’s testimony, the defense argues, “will establish repeated violations of FBI policies in handling [informants], making it both exculpatory and essential.”
The defense also wants to show the jury at least 258 examples of recordings and communications between the informants and their FBI handlers to show how the agency directed every aspect of the attempted kidnapping. Prosecutors claim the statements are “hearsay” and don’t want jurors to see them.
So, what would their unvarnished testimony and captured communications likely reveal? That without the elaborate involvement of the FBI, which compensated the lead informant at least $50,000 for six months’ work and funded every outing to produce photographic evidence of the defendants’ participation in weapons training camps and reconnaissance missions, the plot never would have made it past idle chatter.
It likely would show how the FBI infiltrated alleged “militia groups” and even lured people into those groups beginning in early 2020 under the guise of monitoring potentially violent anti-lockdown rallies.
Evidence would expose how a lockdown rally at the Michigan Capitol building in April 2020 acted as a dress rehearsal for January 6, and how the FBI steered the defendants from more lockdown protests to the kidnapping plot.
The jury also would hear how Stephen D’Antuono, the director of the FBI’s Detroit field office, handled his agents executing the caper and how he was swiftly rewarded for his work. After his office successfully produced damaging headlines for Donald Trump right before the election, D’Antuono was promoted to head of the FBI’s D.C. office just three months before the Capitol protest.
Unsurprisingly, prosecutors have already told the defense that they have no intention of offering immunity to their now-tarnished star government witnesses. It’s unlikely a judge will avoid interfering in what is the sole purview of the Justice Department to offer immunity deals.
But watching these FBI agents and informants repeatedly plead the Fifth on the stand may be as revealing as any protected testimony.

First Biden Okay's the Russian Pipeline which then in turns gives them the ability to take over Ukraine as they no longer fear losing Natural gas as they get as much as needed from the new Pipe line. Biden is compromised this is why he okayed the pipeline period.
‘I’m not happy about it’: Dems torch Biden’s Russian pipeline deal
President Joe Biden is facing bipartisan backlash to his administration’s agreement with Germany that allows a controversial Russian natural-gas pipeline to be completed.

President Joe Biden is facing bipartisan backlash to his administration’s agreement with Germany that allows a controversial Russian natural-gas pipeline to be completed, arguing that the deal is a boon to Moscow at the expense of Ukraine.
Biden and his deputies have long been at odds with members of Congress on the pipeline, known as Nord Stream 2, with lawmakers overwhelmingly approving a slate of mandatory sanctions aimed at crippling the pipeline over geopolitical and environmental concerns.
The president waived many of those sanctions earlier this year as part of his broader efforts to repair transatlantic alliances with countries like Germany, which has been pushing for Nord Stream 2 to be completed. And on Wednesday, the U.S. and Germany announced a deal aimed at mollifying Ukraine, which stands to lose the most from the pipeline’s completion.
“I’m not happy about it,” said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees. “I’m not happy about it in terms of the Russia politics, and I’m not happy about it in terms of climate change.”

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who co-authored the sanctions regime, said she was “skeptical that [the agreement] will be sufficient when the key player at the table — Russia — refuses to play by the rules.”
The Biden administration has effectively concluded that the pipeline will be completed regardless of whether the U.S. moves to stop it. The agreement struck between the U.S. and Germany seemingly puts the onus on Germany to ensure Ukraine, which has suffered the brunt of Russia’s aggression under Vladimir Putin, doesn’t feel abandoned by the pact. Already, though, Ukraine is hammering the U.S. and Germany for its “resignation” on the effort to stop the pipeline.
Senior administration officials describing the deal said Berlin will appoint a special envoy to help Ukraine negotiate an extension of its gas transit deal with Russia beyond 2024, the current expiration year. Germany will also create and administer a $1 billion green fund for Ukraine to support its energy transition beyond fossil fuels, with at least an initial $175 million commitment. Ukraine needs that money because it stands to lose billions should its transit contract with Russia end.
There will also be a 60 million euro resilience package, effectively to protect against cyber attacks. And Germany will enhance its engagement with the Three Seas Initiative, a key forum for Central and Eastern European nations to discuss regional matters.
“This commitment is designed to ensure that Russia will not misuse any pipeline, including Nord Stream 2, to achieve aggressive political ends by using energy as a weapon,” the U.S. and German governments wrote in a joint statement.
Biden and Merkel don't see eye to eye on Nord Stream 2SharePlay VideoThe officials also argued that the Trump administration, not the Biden team, is responsible for the pipeline’s completion. “We’re making the best of a bad hand,” one said, noting the pipeline was over 90 percent completed when the Biden administration came into office. “And in doing so we’re trying to make sure that we protect our partner, Ukraine, and that’s really our priority.”
None of that will satisfy Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, who spent the last few days expressing outrage as details of the U.S.-Germany deal leaked.
“Once [the pipeline] is up, the vulnerabilities are going to be there,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a brief interview. “I’ve always felt that we should’ve stopped it. But now we’re at the point where it’s going to be very difficult to prevent its use.”

Another top Democrat, Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, said the U.S.-Germany agreement “isn’t perfect, but it’s a good outcome under the circumstances.” The idea that the U.S. can stop a pipeline that is 98 percent complete, Murphy added, “is based in fantasy, not reality.” He said fracturing the U.S. relationship with Germany “would have come at an enormous, indefensible cost.”
Biden’s agreement with Germany drew heavy criticism from Republicans, who accused Biden of “surrendering” to Putin.
“This is a generational geopolitical mistake,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who co-authored the sanctions and has been holding up Biden’s State Department nominees to force action on the pipeline. “Russian dictators decades from now will be reaping billions of dollars every year from Joe Biden’s gift.”
It wasn’t just members of Congress torching the U.S.-Germany deal. Ukraine’s foreign affairs minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a joint statement with his Polish counterpart that the pact “cannot be considered sufficient to effectively limit the threats created by NS2,” and “this crisis is significantly deepened by the resignation from attempts to stop the launch” of the pipeline.
“We call on the United States and Germany to adequately address the security crisis in our region, that Russia is the only beneficiary to,” they added.
The U.S. and Germany have long been at odds over the risks and benefits of the pipeline. Germany views it as an economic priority and a way to import cheap energy into the country. The U.S., meanwhile, has maintained for consecutive administrations that the pipeline will damage European energy security in the long-term and will only serve Putin’s interests.
“[The deal is] a reminder that while we share many values with our NATO allies and EU partners, our interests are often not aligned,” Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told POLITICO. “I’m concerned that European nations will invariably increase their dependence on Russian national gas, both from a security and climate perspective.”

Meanwhile, Ukraine has been caught in the middle of the pipeline fight. Ukrainian officials have said they believe the pipeline can still be stifled, and that the U.S. should take action to ensure it never gets completed.
The Biden administration has been trying to keep Ukraine at bay as it scrambles to contain the fallout. POLITICO reported on Tuesday that U.S. officials have urged Ukrainian officials to stay quiet about the pact with Germany, warning that public criticisms could damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. The U.S. has also asked Ukraine to refrain from discussing the matter with Congress, where Kyiv has plenty of allies.
Responding to POLITICO’s reporting, Mykhailo Podoliak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said “Ukraine is receiving different signals at different levels.” And lawmakers accused the Biden administration of “bullying” Ukraine.
“This poor, helpless nation facing down the evil Russian Federation that they described a year ago is no longer, I guess, to them, a victim,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a brief interview.
In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier Wednesday, a top State Department official denied that the U.S. was pressuring Ukraine. Victoria Nuland, the under secretary of state for political affairs, told senators that “I know of nobody in the administration who has told [the Ukrainians] how to feel or how to speak about this.”
In another olive branch to Ukraine, the White House announced on Wednesday that Zelensky would meet with Biden on August 30. Zelensky has eagerly awaited a presidential meeting, which was put on hold after the first impeachment case against former President Donald Trump.
“This is a bad situation and a bad pipeline but we need to help protect Ukraine and I feel that we have made some significant steps in that direction with this agreement,” Nuland said.

My problem is pushing it on everyone with no long term data. We knew very well by the time the EUA was given out that it was not sterilizing (could get and/or pass it on after) and who the virus was impacting. The safest implementation would have been to only focus on those most vulnerable. Now we got almost 250 million people in the US alone whose lives have been played with like a game of roulette. If they got more animal testing that the public isn't aware of we have a right to know.
The second problem is they are lying about it being approved. The approved Vaxx doesn't exist. If it did the EUA vaxxs couldn't be used any longer
