If you read Fauci’s comments in the article, they don’t even add up. He has been all over the place from the very beginning.

I’ve got to show these pics to my wife. Awesome 👍

So you’re saying I now have to track- Americans killed by Trump Americans killed by Biden …..and Americans killed by the vaccine. This is getting way too busy.

I read the American Thinker link article. I personally found nothing to contest or label as false information. Good read.

Putting something out there like the 10/275 removes the argument down the road that the Tigers didn’t try to snag Correa. If in fact, the offer was made and he turned it down, it puts Correa on record as saying no the Tigers. It can’t be said that the Tigers didn’t make an effort. From a PR perspective, good move on the Tigers part.

So, I respect your opinion. However, I would differ by replacing your word “symptons” with the word effects. A reduction of the effects on a body can be the difference between life and death. I see value in that.

To this end, I will acknowledge that this virus/vax has been politicized to adnaseum.

Correct me if I’m wrong, the vax isn’t to prevent one from contracting the virus? My impression for getting vaxed and boosted is for the purpose of decreasing the effects the virus will have on my body. I, or others, can still carry and transmit the virus, irregardless.

“That was the general thought when they came out” So tell me, based on the above response, who declared the vaccination an end all to the vulnerability to the virus? Who asserted anything beyond an opinion? No one has.

No, he didn’t. You’re looking for something that doesn’t exist.

I don’t believe Archie implied that the vaccines were an “end all.”

Cawthorn is a disappointing character. Failed marriage aside, he has turned his entire political being over to the wishes of D.J.T. He is going to run in a different district in 2022 as North Carolina has redrawn its districts. We picked up another house seat going forward. Cawthorn, after visiting Trump in Florida and being re-anointed, has decided he’s the guy to represent the new 13th house district in N.C. Clearly he is getting his marching orders from Trump. I am still celebrating the fact that Trump’s daughter-in-law isn’t going to run for US Senate here. Nationally, I think Trump has endorsed eighty-some candidates to date for 2022. Cawthorn and everybody’s fav, MJT, we’re on hand for a fundraiser here in NC for another Trump wannabe house candidate recently. The newest wannabe, Bo Hines, is another Trump disciple. This will be an interesting year coming up.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and coworkers. Yes, I am understanding the Omicron variant is less severe than the prior variants and that South Africa seems to be on the other side of the curve at this point. Welcome back.

I have been opposed to signing Correa from the very outset.

Say what you will about Hobby Lobby, they are a money making machine.

If he changes his current position, you are correct. Simple. I am opposed to spending trillions of dollars right now for several reasons. One, it is not necessary to begin with. The economy is bouncing back and there aren’t enough workers to fill the jobs that are open now! Employers are offering bonuses and raises in many cases to existing workers and new hires. We are headlong into an inflation issue that doesn’t need more gas on the fire. Not sure why people don’t understand the inflation part of this equation. Even if the supply chains and the like are resolved, pouring money into the economy right now is absolutely going to put pressure on the inflation side of things. This will make mortgage rates move up, hurting the lower earners that buy anything on credit, not the least of which might be a mortgage. It will be the folks with the least means that will suffer most with higher rates. And a big thumbs down to a Federal Reserve that is behind the curve on this and doesn’t seem to be overly concerned. This bill is no more than a political power play that, as of now, doesn’t have the power to go through. I would love to see it fail, straight up. We are not in a crisis. It is ill advised.

Exactly where is it recorded that Manchin said that if that’s what you’re implying.

HuffPost- Continuing the child tax credit for another year is a core part of the Build Back Better legislation that Democrats had hoped to pass by the end of the year. The policy has already cut child poverty by nearly 30%. Manchin’s private comments shocked several senators, who saw it as an unfair assault on his own constituents and those struggling to raise children in poverty. Manchin has also told colleagues he believes that Americans would fraudulently use the proposed paid sick leave policy, specifically saying people would feign being sick and go on hunting trips, a source familiar with his comments told HuffPost. End of Quote. Source: HUFFPOST I would ask where the evidence is that provides documented proof that the child tax credit has reduced child poverty by 30%. Is that too much to ask? Secondly, there is not the first quotation for any of the alleged comments attributed to Manchin regarding the misuse of child tax credit money. It’s the old he said/she said which requires zero proof. I noticed CNN and others are attacking his position on this also, no surprise. The above piece from HuffPost is nothing but a hit piece, plain and simple.

“Will you be aligned with his perspective when he eventually supports a BBB bill?” As stated twice prior, I am opposed to the BBB. That won’t change.

There are 100 Senators in Washington. Every single one is probably invested in this or that and has connections here and there. I don’t like it anymore than anyone else. Whatever Manchin’s motive is for objecting to the “as is” BBB, I am aligned with his perspective. There is so much wrong with this bill.

From today’s WSJ: “Confronting Inflation, Biden Administration Turns to Oil Industry It Once Shunned U.S. producers, chastised about climate change, balk at White House’s call for more drilling to rein in gasoline prices” ———- How revealing. Biden and his people are doing their damndest to put oil producers out of business and punish those that survive. Not surprisingly, with inflation climbing and no end in sight, he and his administration turn to the very industry they’re trying to kill to save him. If it weren’t so comical it would be sad.

I posed a question yesterday that apparently no one can answer. No surprise really. There are Senators in Washington that don’t know the answer either but are willing to spend the money anyway for political expediency.

So again, exactly how much money is earmarked for moving the coal industry to clean energy as defined in the BBB? And what is the path to get there? Any business spending money on a, we’ll call it a project, will have to provide a road map with specific expenditures along the way. There is no such thing in Washington. There is no accountability on either side. This BBB is so full of unnecessary spending it is ridiculous. Manchin may cave in the end, who knows. If you get out of line in either party these days you’re ostracized publicly and are subject to fire and brimstone.

Nobody in Washington knows what “deficit neutral” is. Or for that matter, cares.

I’m not disagreeing with your point at all. My question is, exactly how will the money be allocated and specifically to what? Is there a defined path to accomplish a transition from coal that has X dollars specific to this goal and X dollars earmarked for that. This is what concerns me about these expenditures, there are very few specifics up front. I agree with Manchin’s position to this point.
