Biden's VP pick jokes about killing either Jeff Sessions, the current VP or the current President.......SMH thinking of the response if Pence had said something like this in 2016.......

ROFL - Oh wait, he was MARRIED at the time and she was looking for a gig higher up the pecking order (so to speak) No, but your not running for the #2 political position in the country on the Democratic ticket.......I mean all of a sudden reparations to blacks are going to take a back seat now?

One of my sales guys is the exact same way......I keep telling him - they think your yelling at them.......

Oh - and in case I forgot to mention.....a bonafide descendant of slave owners.......

For my buddy Muda.....

OK - Just had to get these out of my system......

IDK - it was kinda nice to see the school buses on the roads this morning in our community. (I am sure that nostalgia will cease by the end of the week though after I encounter a couple of the HS kids)

I wonder if she sees the irony of being chosen exclusively for skin color and gender? (Insert defamatory Willie Brown reference here) FWIW, she isn't "African American", she's "Jamaican Indian".....

Interesting data from the CDC......So most people under 50 are more likely to die in an automobile accident instead of Covid, and school children are more likely to be struck by lightning that die from Covid.......so yeah......Am I missing something here? https://www.technocracy.news/cdc-confirms-extremely-low-covid-19-death-rate/?__FB_PRIVATE_TRACKING__&fbclid=IwAR1E3I_VLzsAVKr78jBvd7g66K3cdSwNkgVx7Oln6YnaFnW6v9UnJtGZLC4 Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19. The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago. Until now, we have been ridiculed for thinking the death rate was that low, as opposed to the 3.4% estimate of the World Health Organization, which helped drive the panic and the lockdowns. Now the CDC is agreeing to the lower rate in plain ink. Plus, ultimately we might find out that the IFR is even lower because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases. Simply adjusting for a 50% asymptomatic rate would drop their fatality rate to 0.2% – exactly the rate of fatality Dr. John Ionnidis of Stanford University projected. More importantly, as I mentioned before, the overall death rate is meaningless because the numbers are so lopsided. Given that at least half of the deaths were in nursing homes, a back-of-the-envelope estimate would show that the infection fatality rate for non-nursing home residents would only be 0.1% or 1 in 1,000. And that includes people of all ages and all health statuses outside of nursing homes. Since nearly all of the deaths are those with comorbidities. The CDC estimates the death rate from COVID-19 for those under 50 is 1 in 5,000 for those with symptoms, which would be 1 in 6,725 overall, but again, almost all those who die have specific comorbidities or underlying conditions. Those without them are more likely to die in a car accident. And schoolchildren, whose lives, mental health, and education we are destroying, are more likely to get struck by lightning. To put this in perspective, one Twitter commentator juxtaposed the age-separated infection fatality rates in Spain to the average yearly probability of dying of anything for the same age groups, based on data from the Social Security Administration. He used Spain because we don’t have a detailed infection fatality rate estimate for each age group from any survey in the U.S. However, we know that Spain fared worse than almost every other country. This data is actually working with a top-line IFR of 1%, roughly four times what the CDC estimates for the U.S., so if anything, the corresponding numbers for the U.S. will be lower. As you can see, even in Spain, the death rates from COVID-19 for younger people are very low and are well below the annual death rate for any age group in a given year. For children, despite their young age, they are 10-30 times more likely to die from other causes in any given year. While obviously yearly death rates factor in myriad of causes of death and COVID-19 is just one virus, it still provides much-needed perspective to a public policy response that is completely divorced from the risk for all but the oldest and sickest people in the country.

An unintended consequence of leaving kids at home within earshot of parents that care to listen instead of in an insulated classroom the scholarly peeps didn't consider ahead of this Covid (get em out of school) crisis........

?????

Can't make a vaccine that works for influenza. No vaccine for RSV. Can't cure cancer. But they sure as shit can make a vaccine in 6 months for an illness that they STILL don't understand. How's that kool-aid taste

One would have to assume you had brain cells before.......🤣 Oh come on - I had to......

Joe Biden - You can't go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have an Indian accent.

So this is what happens when "protesters/rioters" are allowed to continuously run rampant without punishment. "Criminals took to the streets confident there would be no consequences" A 20 (with many prior arrests) is fleeing police and gets shot after firing shots at police (who didn''t miss, btw) so these hoodlums "protest" by driving cars into the stores, breaking in and stealing.......Where's the protest? Where's the calls for justice? The guy FIRED SHOTS AT COPS FIRST.....

Kinda like the guy that fell asleep in the drive-through line in Atlanta, then (after overtaking 2 police officers, stealing a taser and trying to run away).......got shot and killed....

So white communities are not diverse? Are we are all from the same place? Try working a retail RV or auto show in any major city in the US. I can tell you white and black communities are very "diverse". I kinda feel like this gaffe was planned along with his "explanation" (written by a strategic planning speechwriter)......perhaps this is the beginning of Biden's aria?

I don't care where any of us stands on Covid - This is funny stuff......

Try to buy some Canadian lumber. That dispute has been going on for years, and now Trudeau has his panties in a bind since the last agreement expired in 2015 and he doesn't like our President who is tired of Canada subsidizing their lumber industry. (Same as the aluminum industry)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mike-dewine-ohio-governor-covid-19-negative-test-hours-after-positive/ Ohio governor Mike DeWine announced Thursday morning that he had tested positive for the coronavirus — but on Thursday night, he said a second test came back negative. The reason for the discrepancy between the test results was not immediately clear. DeWine's initial test results were reported ahead of a planned meeting with President Trump on the tarmac at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland. Instead of meeting with Mr. Trump, DeWine returned to Columbus and was ultimately tested for coronavirus a second time. The Ohio governor's office said in a statement that the second test was a PCR test, which the office described as "extremely sensitive, as well as specific, for the virus." When DeWine was tested earlier in the day, an antigen test was used. The PCR tests for both the governor and his wife were run twice, and came back negative both times, the office said. "We feel confident in the results from Wexner Medical Center," the office said of the PCR test. "This is the same PCR test that has been used over 1.6 million times in Ohio by hospitals and labs all over the state." It did not say how often antigen tests are used in the state. Officials will be "working with the manufacturer to have a better understanding of how the discrepancy between these two tests could have occurred," according to the statement. The governor and his wife will take another PCR test on Saturday to further confirm their results. Crap shoot - Best 2 out of 3?

Autopsy shows the young lady that passed away in April that her understandably distraught husband blamed on lack of PPE that caused her to catch COVID, didn't have COVID........ https://cbs12.com/news/local/autopsy-shows-wellington-nurse-died-of-kidney-infection-not-covid-19?fbclid=IwAR0WZAIWAV-GOmN4OKkmBW7xSQXJYMaT8ksv-Uy_EP5DIVezwo03Kr268mY WELLINGTON, Fla. (CBS12) — A report from the Palm Beach County Medical examiner obtained by CBS12 News shows that a young Wellington nurse believed to have passed from COVID-19, was never infected with the virus at all. The report shows that 33-year-old Danielle DiCenso died from "complications of acute pyelonephritis," otherwise known as a kidney infection. DiCenso was quarantining at home when she died suddenly in her sleep. Before she passed away, DiCenso was tested for COVID-19 after she was reportedly exposed to the virus at work. Her husband, David DiCenso told CBS12 News that the young nurse was not given proper PPE at her job at Palmetto General in Hialeah. He said she began experiencing coronavirus symptoms in late March, and her test came back inconclusive. DiCenso was still waiting on official results from the coroner when he spoke to CBS12 News back in April, but he said he had no doubt that she was exposed to COVID-19 at work. He was surprised when his wife, who he believed had no preexisting conditions, died suddenly. "It looked like the oxygen was just taken out of her," he told CBS12 News in a prior interview. CBS12 News reached out to DiCenso for comment but has not heard back. Yeah, SF will assume you probably won't hear back either, nor will the hospital reimburse the Government for the additional funds it got for the COVID death.......

Joe "Racial Jungle" Biden......
