US Surgeon General Expresses Concern About Worsening Pandemic

The U.S. Surgeon General said he’s very concerned about what lies ahead, with cases of COVID-19 increasing in every state and millions still unvaccinated, as a highly contagious virus variant is spreading rapidly. Meanwhile, you have Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida - a state with the highest COVID infection rate in the country - bragging about eliminating all precautions employed by other states, such as prohibiting local governments from enacting measures like mask requirements and social distancing, while selling campaign merchandise on his website saying “Don't Fauci My Florida.”

Great merch ideas Gov. DeSantis! Hey, I’ve got a couple more you might like. How about “They'll vaccinate me - over my dead body." Looks like about a third of the country might like that one. Or, what about this “You can stick that needle in my cold, dead arm!” I’m telling ya, the merch possibilities seem endless.

Of course, Republicans know all this anti-vax hysteria will mean lots of folks are gonna die - but at least they’re gonna die “owning the Libs” - and that’s gotta count for something! I mean, what’s the point of running a death cult, if you don’t have lots of deaths? Besides, in Gov. DeSantis’ defense, the first 50 years or so of a COVID pandemic, are always gonna be the worst.

You see, DeSantis has devised the perfect MAGA COVID plan - “don't wear masks, don't get vaccinated, and do not social distance.” Well, that plan seems to be working - and they’ve got nearly 40,000 dead Floridians to prove it. Florida’s now #1 in the nation, with 20% of all new COVID infections. But, ya know governor, I can’t help thinking there are times when you probably shouldn’t be shooting for #1 - just say’n.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War: In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.” You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!” In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence. They don’t teach you that in law school. Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.” Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know. After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu. Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Elon Musk Calls for the Prosecution of Anthony Fauci

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic. Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what? Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker. Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.” OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway? I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
