You have never heard me approve of mask mandates, lock downs or travel restrictions.  In fact, I am also opposed to mandatory vaccines, or even bribing people to get vaccines.  But except for a few people for whom the vaccine is medically contraindicated, I think reasonable people would choose to get the vaccine.  I'm glad I did.  And if you think that is "virtue signaling", at least I am not stuck at home under quarantine.  If YOU don't get a vaccine, then YOU are at a higher risk of getting the virus than I am.

On the other hand, if too few people do get the vaccine, and it continues to run it's course, then more variants will emerge, and I will again be put at higher risk.  Just not as high a risk as those that didn't get the vaccine.

As for allowing hundreds of thousands to illegally enter our country, I'd as soon shoot them on site rather that give them amnesty.  See how quickly the flood would turn into a trickle after that.  A side benefit would be all the legal liberal citizens that might be horrified into leaving the country.  Mexico would probably have to close THEIR border to keep them out.

Almost like the flu 

A friend and his wife from my EAA Chapter caught COVID at a large church camp meeting event. She went into the hospital on Wednesday with pneumonia and is recovering expecting to go home today. He stayed home to ride it out. Yesterday he got scared a bit by going to take a shower and blacking out in the shower. He's monitored his O2 and it has never gone below 94%. He did run a fever earlier in the week. He had diarrhea, which I feel was his undoing. Probably wasn't eating well and keeping hydrated and that took him down.  He finally decided he should go to the ER. Being in no shape to drive, I went to go get him. I masked up and gloved up and had him do the same. He rode in the back passenger seat on the way to the ER, about 10-15 minute ride and he got out and went into the ER.

My wife totally freaked out about the whole thing, asking why 911 wasn't called to take him in an ambulance. Personally, I think spinning up a paramedic team and ambulance would have been wasteful. Anyhow, I'm now in isolation in the bedroom for a bit. I can get tested this weekend to see. I fond it highly doubtful that I will have contracted it. When I got home I stripped down and rubbed myself down with sanitizer.

So here I sit.

I could sure go for a mean tweet and some of that $1.65 gas about now....................

To be fair $1.65 was due to COVID and no one going anywhere. The lowest we saw last year was $1.36
If we compare to 2019 on the same date here, we were at $2.60 and are currently at 2.90, up a little over 10%

I couldn’t find it either. My guess it got postponed or otherwise cancelled. That said, Vernon Jordan did a press conference and it was recorded, but the embedded Facebook video only includes his speechifying:

Got into a bit of a Twitter feud today. A guy posted an excerpt of the Georgia General Election data that showed several batches from Douglas County, GA where Biden had 100% of the vote. Of course people got mad at it. He did include a link to the data so I downloaded the spreadsheet and found several batches where the opposite was true and posted those saying that it severely dilutes the message when you are cherry picking data. That produced quite a bunch of comments back and forth with folks.

How is it that the senile imposter, the fake president, pedo jo regime can know which house to show up and demand vaccination without violating patient privacy?

And by the way, what did ever happen to 'My Body, My Choice'

Not sure HIPPA applies to the Government.

Want to see the 145,000 ballots

Jim can attest, we have a lefty on the purple board that posted about how cases have increased 300% in TN.
