Just like the American people have a right to know about every phone call out of Rep. Schiff's office made to the NY Times and Washington Post leaking confidential information or spreading misinformation during the 4 year long Russian collusion hoax. But the American people can wait until Hell freezes over before the corrupt sociopaths running the Federal government catch the honesty and truth virus. But Liz I'm an establishment tool, and my dad is a war criminal, Chaney never spoke a word on that one. And some love for Nancy Pelosi, I'm an agent for big corporate America like Raytheon and Goldman Sachs, too. And my husband is a big time hedge fund manager hiding from paying taxes via carried interest loop holes. And I'm a big time poser playing the virtue signalling game fooling the chumps who believe that garbage while we stuff our pockets with your tax dollars. ALL TRUTH!

You can search for FDA EUA approval for Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines, press releases, CDC EUA announcement, or view the studies info at clinical trials. Or just google "how effective are COVID vaccines?" You'll find Moderna is 94.1% effective. Pfizer clinical study shows 95%.

the results from the clinical studies. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/home https://seekingalpha.com/pr/18129661-moderna-announces-fda-authorization-of-moderna-covidminus-19-vaccine-in-u-s

Pfizer and Moderna shots do not even fall under the traditional definition of a vaccine. They're Gene Therapy biologic's using messenger RNA that program your cells to "simulate" that your body is being attacked by a virus to generate the antibodies. They fail to generate those antibodies at about a 6% rate. The only way to know for certain if the shot worked for you is to get an antibody test from your doctor. So what other unknown genetic instructions might the mRNA "vaccine" initiate in your cells? Nobody knows for sure but a lot of people who got those shots, myself included, have rolled the dice on that risk. Could be nothing to worry about. Does anybody know for sure? No. And while all the government experts assure you its all safe and effective what it all comes down to is a personal decision weighing the risk of the virus to your health vs. the known reactions to the shot and the unknown long-term risks.

The majority of hospitalized COVID patients being 65+ are covered by Medicare and supplemental plans like Medicare Advantage and do not have Commercial coverage. So HHS would have to implement that policy. But ER services, hospital's and doctor's love the generous reimbursements provided by the government for COVID cases. So good luck getting that exclusion passed over the objections of powerful, big campaign contributing lobbies.

I have decided to not respond to certain posters any longer as I find it pointless to debate topics with somebody that only questions my views but provides few to no insights into their own ideologically generated opinions. The biggest reason I say this is that I am 100% confident they will never agree to anything you say, or any facts you present, or any conclusions you reach. So its pointless. Plus they feel no obligation to reciprocate. Only to question. Never to provide any answers. So why bother with it all?

Biden has been and is a "company" man for his entire career. So something like this is in character. While the social activist and the far left think they're going to get their wish list passed the joke is going to be on them and I wonder how long it will take for them to see that clearly. At some point even the left leaning knuckle headed apologists here will figure that our for themselves. While I had once viewed the left as using Biden's election as a vehicle to get the major items of their agenda pushed through I have revised that view to conclude Biden and his establishment and %1 handlers have used to left to generate the votes to get elected and get their agenda back on course after the 4 year Trump semi-interruption of their goals. Well done "deep state". Well done..

For somebody with a lot to say you say a lot of nothing.

Given the government has proven absolutely nothing to this point and that after 6 months there is still a lack of facts and evidence pushed into the public domain I think its acceptable for posters to throw out theories from all angles. As facts become available those facts can either support or not support the various scenarios. And we can dismiss those that are invalidated over time. These range from suggestions the entire thing was a government set up to the participants were traitors. I don't see how any of us can conclude we know for sure what did and didn't happen along with motives and intent. We're still in the discovery phase. I'm certainly open to the idea I might be dead wrong here and I would hope other posters can take that position too. it seems the sensible thing given what we don't know. And what we don't know seems like more than what we do know. And while I have my biases and inclinations when it comes to a government I see as demonstrating a consistent pattern of abuse of power and a bigger threat to our freedoms than any demonstrations we've witnessed on the left or on the right I could be wrong here. And so could the conclusions to this point of anyone else be wrong here too.

The FBI is a law enforcement agency that has been corrupted by political appointed leadership that uses the agency as a mechanism for political objectives. So when you have a rogue agency run by rogue elements fostering a lawless culture you can't expect people in that agency to follow any set of rules. One thing I found comical is the imaginary and propaganda-like persona of virtue and duty of the agency created by the TV networks and the entertainment industry contrasted with unethical and troubling behavior.

As professional experts at mis-information and deception they lie. That's their primary function. To trust the intelligence agencies of this government to tell the truth requires you to be dropped on your head until you lose consciousness and then when you wake up get hit by rocks on the head until your skull caves in.

The NSA spied on Carlson. They admitted it. After putting out some fake excuse and getting busted. Now claiming it was because his name came up in their snooping on some foreigner. But his name was illegally unmasked and his personal communications were leaked to specific media outlets. Both acts are crimes. And they won't reveal who leaked the info, or investigate, or name the official who ordered the unmasking. There are only a few members of the executive branch authorized to do this. One of them is the national security director. My bets on them. So there's your example.

And I'm 120% in agreement with you. Its doesn't make sense for some mouthpiece that is viewed as a consistent liar and untrusted source of information should be trying to convince the public to do get the shot. The message should be coming at the local level from primary care physicians and other trusted sources at the community level. Not some all powerful entity demanding obedience and compliance to their edicts. That isn't working. And imposing negative consequences for non-compliance is hardly within the realm of "democracy". And if you're vaccinated then you're protected to the maximum extent possible so stop obsessing about what other people choose and choose not to do. And even with people that are hospitalized there are several very good treatment protocols, and others in the process of approval reviews by the FDA, the medical community has developed over the past 1 1/2 years that have resulted in greater survival rates and fewer critical cases. The risk of death in healthy and younger people is close to zero. The stats from the CDC and other sources support this conclusion. If you or someone you know is at a higher risk then you need a personal plan to take the necessary precautions. Stop with all the expectations that civilization must adapt all aspects of life to ensure your personal safety.

What the current crop of social justice liberals fail to see is how Carlson merely talks about the thing the original liberal used to support. Distrust of big government, big corporate control, wall street control, forever wars, an intrenched deep state running the government regardless of the views of the electorate. When these traditional liberals are guests on his show they are mostly in violent agreement. That big oppressive government controlled by corrupt and powerful rich and elite oligarths control the entire system. One of them pointed out this week that if you want to know what drives Pelosi just look to Raytheon and Goldman Sachs. That's who she works for. Just like the guy across the isle. And in the Senate. On both sides. The system sucks. That's what Carlson is pointing out along with the absurdity of most of these social justice activists and causes. They avoid true economic issues and lead to absolutely nothing. A diversion. You want to help the inner city poor? How about diverting $50B from the defense budget for one year. Submit that bill on the House and Senate floor. See who votes yes. And get rid of the people that vote no. There you go! Economic social justice problems solved! Its not that hard if you've got people in charge actually trying to solve the problem instead of pretending to solve it while stuffing their own pockets and the pockets of the wealthy with loot from the Federal treasury.

But the COVID vaccines were not developed to target Delta. And are less effective against it. And Delta might be more infectious but it will likely be less lethal. So a goal of preventing serious illness and death is more realistic than a goal of stopping the spread. That can be done by identifying and protecting those most at risk. Its going to spread regardless of whether people get the current vaccines or not. Unless somebody can rush out a vaccine that targets Delta. I don't know if that's possible. Its going to spread regardless of lockdowns that are not going to be successful as the previous lockdowns didn't do much of anything except cause a lot of economic harm with adverse social impacts like a big increase in suicides, drug and alcohol abuse, and depression. My belief is we're just going to have to ride out this wave and make due. The wave should produce a lower case count, a shorter cycle, and a much lower death rate. And subsequent waves should follow the pattern until it fades over time.

Wasn't Trump acquitted of this in the 2nd impeachment trial? Of course some might use the fact it was a Republican Senate that rendered a not guilty verdict without acknowledging the fact the current House "Committee" is stacked with Democrats that have already expressed their view the former President is complicit. So what's the moral here? Politics and impartial justice are mutually exclusive.

What's your basis for believing a corporate mandate would hold up in court? And wouldn't a mandate generate the circumstances where the employer is assuming some liability for any adverse outcomes if they make it some condition of employment? I wonder as I work for a fairly large health care sector company and while they are encouraging employees to get vaccinated they have declined to mandate vaccination. So if experts are deferring this requirement how can the uninformed and potentially clueless make the decision to require it?

Have you seen any statistics on how many people have "natural" immunity from antibodies produced from previous infection and recovery? They should be added into the vaccinated totals. The goal should be immunity and vaccination is one method to acquire immunity. But so its getting sick and recovering. Its unclear why the CDC and other agencies refuse to count them.

Polling sources indicate black and brown communities have the highest percentage of unvaccinated. So CNN mis-information. But what do you expect from CNN? The entire network is staffed with second-rate political hacks. Shocking right? But here's what got me laughing out loud while reading this thread. So posters here supporting our fledgling Police State think its okay for government agents to kick down somebody's front door, break into their home, wrestle them to the ground, have a couple agents hold them down, while a 3rd one points a gun to their head, and a 4th one injects them with a biological substance that can be best described as experimental gene therapy with no data, statistics, or insights into the long-term safety affects of the substance. Something that might cause no long-term effects or maybe it will like cancer or heart failure or some other condition. Nobody knows for sure. If they say they do they're lying. All that's okay. But its a violation of basic human and Constitutional rights to ask somebody for ID to vote. You're simply aghast and outraged at the premise. That's funny. So maybe a condition of involuntary vaccination should be the government assuming all personal injury liability for any adverse conditions that might result? Or better yet, maybe an active trust funded by all the people advocating and demanding mandatory vaccination personally guaranteeing the safety of people forced into it with their personal assets? That seems fair to me. There are valid medical reasons why some people cannot or should not be vaccinated. Such as high risk health issues or issues physicians might have regarding "medical necessity". Such as people that have antibodies already. And to be clear. This is my view. A view from somebody that got the 2-shot Moderna vaccine. It was my decision. Just like its the decision of others to do or not to do it. So mind your own business.

I spent a lot of time recently listening and reading the views of a lot of liberal thinkers and bloggers. Not the current crop of social justice types but people that hold more conventional and traditional liberal views on issues like economics, opposition to government, and issues of poverty. What I discovered was that although I view my personal positions as more right to center than these "left" thinkers I found myself agreeing with the majority of their conclusions and positions. And as a result I've adjusted my perspective on the way I view and assess the motives and actions of institutions like the media. One of those adjustments is questioning the current left vs. right or liberal vs. conservative disagreements and conflicts over various social issues. As a result of this adjustment in thinking I've concluded the media is just another instrument of distraction. A generator of conflict. Used by the wealthy and powerful 1% elites to draw attention away from themselves and focus the publics attention on other issues. While pitting them against each other in order to divert all attention away from themselves and their actions. The "differences" between the Democrats and Republicans are "fake". An illusion perpetrated against the voters. The Clinton's, Bush's, Biden's, Chaney's, and other political "royalty" are a single entity. They attend the same Ivy League schools, the same social circles, the same life experiences. They are all members of the elite political class. Their policies are 99% the same. Nothing fundamental changes. They're supported by the big corporate sector. Big social media, Wall Street, the defense industry, Drug and Health insurance companies, and others. Companies that push social justice and "diversity" while continuing to exploit workers, make huge profits, destroy communities, and pay the social justice crowd off so they focus on other targets. The unelected elements of government. What some call the "deep state" that is unchanged or uninterrupted regardless of which party or which administration is in charge. Political appointments, career political operatives embedded in the agencies and departments. The intelligence community. All working for the elites. Something I never thought about was the fact that the President and Vice President are the only elected officials in the entire Executive branch of government. State government, slightly different. These forces and others work to distract the public from real issues of economic justice. Like how the rich have become obscenely wealthier while the poor got poorer and the middle class got smaller. They stage conflicts between segments of the working and middle class. So the 1% are free to steal everything and anything not bolted down through the back door. And screw everybody and get away with it without anyone noticing. The public spends more time debating the merits of transgender bathroom rights than it does discussing and debating the merits of a $850B defense budget. How that money is spent, who benefits, what wars we are in or getting into and why. Why we have 600 overseas military bases. Why will have troops in Syria, still bomb places like Somalia, what's our role in Yemen with the Saudi's? Its time to wake up. Left, Right, Liberal, Conservative, everybody. And push back. And demand answers and real changes.

These "buyers" are not paying $250K for a work of art. They are paying $250K for access to the President, political favors, or some quid-pro-quo and likely taking the art and either dumping it in the trash or putting it down in the basement in some out of the way corner. Any other explanation is invalid and this is such an outlandish abuse of the system that I find anyone who would defend it or make excuses complicit and supportive of systemic corruption practiced by the Biden's Its disgusting.

JB projects weakness and frailty which might be the perfect symbol for an empire in decline. His rambling and confusing statements and answers to questions are becoming more frequent. And its impossible for me to accept in any way the belief he is fully executing all the duties of the office and there are no forces or individuals in the background calling the shots here.

It is an important question. Along with a question I posed a couple weeks ago which is given there was no defense in place against "the plot" what actually stopped the "insurrectionists" from taking more serious and damaging actions? What happened is consistent with looters breaking into a store with no cops in sight and just stealing the gum and candy near the register while leaving the flat screens and home entertainment equipment behind. It would appear to make no sense and require some level of explanation.

So I'm watching a short segment on Carlson with professed liberal comedian Jimmy Dore. Found his perspective interesting. His somewhat outside-the-box assessment might be worth a look regardless of your perspectives here. His basic premise is the left used to focus on discussions concerning economic disparities and issues. But now all discussions are centered around identify politics. And the reason for that is the establishment has found a way to co-op the progressive movement including capturing the discussions on identity and race issues, and as a result it has avoiding discussions on economics and left them free to loot and pillage society without any focus on those activities. All these discussions on things like CRT are just smoke and mirror diversions. "You want to help black people then give them free college, a living wage, medicare for all. What did Biden do? Made Juneteenth a holiday and gave government workers another day off". So is this the game here? Simple misdirection? You've got elite billionaires, cultural & social elites, intellectual elites, elite corporate CEO's & BOD's, elite politicians, and I should add the military industrial complex. All beating the drum of racism. All getting rich while the rest of us, black, white, brown, run faster and faster while falling behind. While they redirect the focus away from themselves and on to the average guy in the street. Its not their fault their collective elite class is so well off and everyone else is not. its the fault of all those damn white supremacists, all white people, except them of course while paying off the attack dogs on the left to steer clear of them and find other targets. Pitting the citizens against one another, the identified oppressor and the oppressed fighting against each other over table scraps while leaving them free to do pretty much what they want. Unnoticed and getting away with it. Robbing us all blind while our backs are turned faced off against one another. I think this guy is on to some good insights. I bookmarked his site.

Things like this statement: "And we must be the leader of the free world. If we don’t do it, nobody good is likely to do it or has the capacity to do it. I really mean it. I genuinely mean it. So, it’s the thing, Don, that is the only time — and by the way, the first time I walked down stairs and they played “Hail to the Chief,” I wondered, “Where is he?”
