some liberal policy makers have left scientific evidence behind.According to The New York Times, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines last month for mask wearing. It announced that "less than 10 percent" of Covid-19 transmission was occurring outdoors. YMMV. "That seems to be a huge exaggeration. In truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent, multiple epidemiologists told me." - Dr. Muge Cevik, Virologist at the University of St. Andrews |
Running On Empty - US Fuel Shortage Reports

RALEIGH (AP) ¡ª State and federal officials are scrambling to find alternate routes to deliver gasoline in the Southeast U.S. after a hack of the nation¡¯s largest fuel pipeline led to panic-buying that contributed to more than 1,000 gas stations running out of fuel...
Gas stations report shortages as pipeline shutdown drags on Related: Biden reversed Trump on the Keystone XL pipeline. |

Progressive communities have been home to some of the fiercest battles over COVID-19 policies..."The CDC¡¯s initial public messaging that masks were ineffective¡ªfollowed by a quick public reversal¡ª seriously hindered the organization¡¯s ability to effectively communicate as the pandemic progressed. As we have seen, people are not simply passive consumers of media: anti-mask users in particular were predisposed to digging through the scientific literature and highlighting the uncertainty in academic publications.. When these uncertainties did not surface within public-facing versions of these studies, people began to assume that there was a broader cover-up.¡± |

That's weird! China didn't show up on the map.Jjust across the border, India reported 414,188 cases of infection and 3,915 deaths.

Thank God, Facebook isn't rolling out the red carpet.That¡¯s a problem. YMMV. "That decision represented one of the most terrifying corporate interventions into democratic politics in recent memory. In removing Trump from its platform, used by around 70 per cent of adult Americans, Facebook was effectively standing between a president and his people, depriving him of access to what now constitutes the public square. This is an assault on democracy that makes the surreal storming of the Capitol pale into insignificance." |

Re: Don¡¯t forget to sign up, everyone!
Isn¡¯t it interesting how we¡¯re all rooting for someone who, by GOP standards is now considered a radical, when she has been formerly such a staunch supporter? It will also be interesting to see if she, Kinzinger and any of the others with a shred of sanity/credibility really do form a third party. Otherwise her/their stands will come to mean much less. Nice speeches are fine, but only actions actually count. I for one am watching with bated breath, and am planning to make a small donation towards the new party. It¡¯s either the Fascist Party goes down or democracy does. I hope it¡¯s not too late for the latter.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýPresumably he knows the difference between sane and cuckoo (altho I guess I shouldn¡¯t assume anything at this point) so he should really enjoy this latest unhinged rant from Dear Leader. ?Hear ya go Willy, notice the classy name-calling, right up your alley I imagine. ?

When I was in office we were known as the Peace Presidency, because Israel¡¯s adversaries knew that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked. Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden¡¯s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies. America must always stand with Israel and make clear that the Palestinians must end the violence, terror, and rocket attacks, and make clear that the U.S. will always strongly support Israel¡¯s right to defend itself. Unbelievably, Democrats also continue to stand by crazed anti-American Rep. Ilhan Omar, and others, who savagely attack Israel while they are under terrorist assault.

The sad excuse for lawmakers in the GOP are putting their chips on trump and he is nothing but yesterday's news and source of angst. He is a never-been but delusionally thinks he was. He isn't worth the ink any news about him these days is printed with or the bandwidth his BS takes up.
Sad! [Former president Trump¡¯s] blog has drawn a considerably smaller audience than his once-powerful social media accounts, according to engagement data compiled with BuzzSumo, a social media analytics company. The data offers a hint that while Trump remains a political force, his online footprint is still dependent on returning to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. ? The Desk of Donald J. Trump is limited ¡ª users can¡¯t comment or engage with the actual posts beyond sharing them to other platforms, an action few people do, according to the data.? ? Trump¡¯s new blog has attracted a little over 212,000 engagements, defined as backlinks and social interactions ¡ª including likes, shares and comments ¡ª received across Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Reddit. Before the ban, a single Trump tweet was typically liked and retweeted hundreds of thousands of times. ?
