I love this picture (and love elephants). Any chance I can purchase a copy to frame it?

I am convinced this is how they get the personal information to later rig the election with Starlink and make it seem like people voted when they didn't. Now they can rig the election in Wisconsin. I also think this is why they want the IRS and SSA data for national rigging (not just swing states)

If you won't ever shut down the govt, then you are too stupid to represent us in public office. They are already doing all the damage - a shut down was the only leverage you had to try to stop the carnage. You are too dumb to see that your refusal to shut it down supports them and kills democracy.

No, he wants a reason to bring in the military to DC.

NO ON CLOTURE!! Read the room! Shut it all down! You are all so tone deaf and are not listening to what the people want you to do. It is the only leverage you have to stop the executive carnage and fight for our democracy. Your vote for CR supports the destruction of our country! SHUT IT ALL DOWN!!

You need to vote NO on cloture - otherwise you are all useless and handing your power to the executive branch and supporting their destruction of our democracy. This is your only real leverage - USE IT! No on cloture.

Could someone please explain to me how this lying, racist, idiot from South Africa, who wasn't even born or raised in America, and obviously has no idea about genuine American values and ideals, is suddenly the universal spokesperson for what is "truth" and "problematic" with our government?

I wouldn't think so, but as Commander In Chief, calling in the military would certainly put our armed forces in a difficult situation if he ordered them to.

It would be interesting to see if that $400M cut in federal grants is suddenly not going to happen (quid pro quo for Khalil)? 🤔

He won't go to jail because the people who jail those in contempt are the US marshalls, and they are run by the DOJ, who are controlled by Trump. So there will be no enforcement if they refuse to comply (and they know it). SIGH

Your reasoning is not sound, because they are already hurting millions and creating a recession. Voting to keep the government open is supporting their effort to ruin the U.S. Shutting it down is the only tool you have to try to control this mess. You have failed your country and will be to blame.

The only way to remove a President is through congress (the military have no jurisdiction on home soil). He cannot be arrested for crimes like you or me, no matter what he does. There is no way to get rid of him with a majority in both the House and Senate that refuse to remove him.

My son born and raised in the US went to Scotland for Uni. He graduated and came back to the US - things here are so unstable, he now wishes he had stayed in the UK and is trying to get back there to live. Scotland takes good care of their people. He says he also misses the friendliness there.

I am not even sure I know what all the numbers mean (except the B3.13 which is the bovine one in Calif.) but I know others on here do and I really appreciate you taking the time to post these each day and share the information with everyone. Thank you!

But shingles is not much less common for those who have had chickenpox and are now older and can get shingles. I am not arguing with you in terms of the benefit. I am just saying it takes many many years to see the effects of reduced shingles in the population(after seeing an increase over years)
comment in response to

Not the secondary effect of the vaccine but the result of virus getting into a nerve ganglion and becoming dormant and manifesting again later as shingles. Varicella (VZV) is what it is called as chickenpox and zoster is when the virus (VZV) manifests as shingles
comment in response to
post
As I mentioned, adults get a booster exposure to help their immune system when they take care of kids with chickenpox. If the kids don't get chickenpox then their parents immunity to chickenpox wanes with age and their dormant virus comes out as shingles.

You are missing how shingles occurs - it lays dormant in a person's nerve ganglion and emerges with waning immunity. It has nothing to do with how much chicken pox is in the population at the time.
comment in response to
post
Shingles would not be eliminated from the population for over 50 years because you have to wait for the last people who actually had chicken pox to die. It is also possible to get shingles after having the vaccine (it's low but can happen).
comment in response to
post
There is an increased incidence of shingles in a population when the chicken pox vaccine is given and it can last for decades. However, I agree that letting kids get chicken pox is not worth the decrease in middle aged shingles (especially with a shingles vaccine).
comment in response to
post
I read somewhere that UK wasn't in favor of chickenpox vax because it causes a shingles outbreak in middle aged pop. Immunity wanes earlier than expected and taking care of their kids with chicken pox gives them a booster dose (so shingles gets delayed to older age).

I was not living in the US during peak Covid (came back in 2022). What was in short supply here, so I know what to stock up on (where I was there were no shortages)?

Without vaccines we return to early 1900s when life expectancy was 50 years and 40% of kids died before 15. They say they are anti-vax, but they count on everyone else getting vaccinated for heard immunity, so their unvaccinated kids don't get exposed to and die from Hflu, diptheria, polio etc.

Someone posted today that there is a known pig case of H5N1 in Oregon?
