LOL: Joe Biden Doesn’t Understand Why Voters Think He’s Unfit for Presidency

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden shrugged off polls showing voters believed he was not mentally fit, during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday.

One reporter asked Biden why only 40 percent of voters in a new Morning Consult survey believe Biden is mentally fit, 37 percent say he is in good health, and 43 percent believe he is stable.

“I have no idea,” Biden replied.

The president appeared aware of recent polling showing his approval ratings at record lows but expressed disbelief that his approval was low even among independents.

“I don’t believe the polls,” he said shortly. (Read more from “LOL: Joe Biden Doesn’t Understand Why Voters Think He’s Unfit for Presidency” HERE)

Vax All You Want, but It Won’t Stop Omicron, New Study Shows; Dr. Hot Mess Admits CDC Messaging Fail

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Even a fourth shot of a COVID-19 vaccine is “not good enough” to prevent Omicron, according to a preliminary study in Israel.

Sheba Hospital last month tested a fourth shot given to more than 270 medical workers, with 154 getting the Pfizer jab and 120 receiving Moderna.

The researchers revealed Monday that both groups showed a “slightly higher” increase in antibodies than after the third shot — but still not enough to prevent Omicron, the latest variant responsible for the vast majority of infections around the world.

“Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers a partial defense against the virus,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the hospital’s infection disease unit leading the study.

The study saw “many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose,” she said. “Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections.” (Read more from “Vax All You Want, but It Won’t Stop Omicron, New Study Shows” HERE)

Dr. Hot Mess Admits CDC Messaging Fail

By Breitbart. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky has promised to improve the agency’s messaging on the coronavirus after taking a wave of criticism from various media outlets.

Speaking with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Walensky said the CDC should have been more forthcoming with the public about how rules and regulations could be subject to change depending on the evolution of the virus and the data collected.

“I think what I have not conveyed is the uncertainty in a lot of these situations,” Walensky said.

According to the WSJ, Walensky has been undergoing extensive media prep and has been coached by a media consultant ahead of several public briefings she plans to hold in the coming future.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) took a wave of criticism when it recently announced that people who test positive for the coronavirus can exit quarantine after just five days without a negative test if they show mild to no symptoms. Health experts believed the decision stemmed from a shortage in tests largely due to the Biden administration’s lack of preparation.

“CDC’s new guidance to drop isolation of positives to 5 days without a negative test is reckless,” tweeted Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and chief scientific officer at eMed. “I absolutely don’t want to sit next to someone who turned [positive] five days ago and hasn’t tested [negative].” (Read more form “Dr. Hot Mess Admits CDC Messaging Fail” HERE)

Doctor Suspended, Ordered to Undergo Psych Evaluation for Spreading COVID-19 ‘Misinformation’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A doctor in Maine with decades of experience treating patients has had her license suspended and will be forced to undergo a psychological evaluation after allegedly deceptively treating patients with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and sharing controversial opinions about COVID-19 online.

Last week, Maine’s Board of Licensure in Medicine voted unanimously to move forward with an investigation into Dr. Meryl Nass of Ellsworth after at least two complaints were lodged against her for spreading misinformation about COVID-19, Maine Public reported.

Nass, a doctor specializing in internal medicine who first obtained a license to practice medicine in Maine in 1997, was issued an immediate 30-day suspension on Jan. 12, according to the state medical board’s suspension order.

In the order, the board accused Nass of “engaging in the practice of fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in connection with services rendered within the scope of the license issued” as well as engaging in “unprofessional conduct” and conduct that “evidences a lack of ability or fitness to discharge” her duties.

The complaints against Nass include evidence that she used her personal blog to engage in “the public dissemination of ‘misinformation’ regarding the SARS CoV2 pandemic.” (Read more from “Doctor Suspended, Ordered to Undergo Psych Evaluation for Spreading COVID-19 ‘Misinformation'” HERE)

Poll: Liberals Make Up Astonishingly Small Chunk of Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberals may be filling up the offices at the White House right now. And the seats in Congress. And in newly filled judicial posts. And in education and the military. And don’t forget their dominance in social media. . .

The long history of liberals as an also-ran minority comes from Gallup.

Its new polling explains, “The way Americans identify themselves ideologically was unchanged in 2021, continuing the close division that has persisted in recent years between those describing themselves as either conservative or moderate, while a smaller share identifies as liberal. On average last year, 37% of Americans described their political views as moderate, 36% as conservative and 25% as liberal.”

While those defining themselves as liberal have grown from 17% three decades ago, those who are moderate have edged back from 43% to about 37%. Conservatives have gone from 36% to 40% to 36% over that time.

“Long term, Americans’ political ideology hasn’t varied greatly, but moderates were generally the lead group by a slight margin in most years from 1992 to 1998. Between 1999 and 2008, moderates and conservatives were about evenly matched (within two percentage points of each other) – similar to the pattern from 2015 through today. By contrast, in a unique period from 2009 to 2014 – the first six years of Barack Obama’s presidency – conservatives held a slight edge,” the report said.

COVID Patient Flown to Texas After Minnesota Doctors Decided to Pull Plug on Ventilator

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Minnesota woman whose husband neared death from COVID appealed to the courts to force his hospital to halt their plans to pull the plug on the man’s ventilator.

Scott Quiner, 55, a reportedly unvaccinated man who had been battling COVID in Mercy Hospital’s ICU in Coon Rapids since November, was set to have his ventilator shut off on Jan. 13, according to a petition filed in court one day before the deadline by his wife, Anne Quiner.

Quiner said the decision by the hospital would “end my husband’s life” and appealed to the Anoka County Court for a restraining order against the hospital. “Absent an Order from the court,” she wrote in the petition, “my husband will die.”

On Jan. 13, a district court judge ordered Mercy Hospital not to turn off Quiner’s ventilator.

On Monday morning, Marjorie Holsten, an attorney representing Quiner’s wife, told the Star Tribune that Quiner has now been transferred to a hospital in Texas. (Read more from “COVID Patient Flown to Texas After Minnesota Doctors Decided to Pull Plug on Ventilator” HERE)

GOP Senator Releases Fauci’s Financial Records, Claims They Show He ‘Lied’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Roger Marshall released financial records Friday he said were obtained from Dr. Anthony Fauci after the two clashed earlier this week at a hearing over access to such disclosures.

The Kansas Republican claims the documents from the National Institutes of Health show Fauci, who is President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser and a leading government voice advising the public on dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, “lied to the American people” when he claimed during a Senate hearing Tuesday that the information was “public knowledge.”

“He is more concerned with being a media star and posing for the cover of magazines than he is being honest with the American people,” Marshall said in his statement, noting that he specifically requested unredacted copies.

During the hearing Tuesday, Marshall pressed Fauci, saying his office could not find financial disclosure information that includes his past and current investments. Fauci countered by asserting that such information “is totally accessible to you if you want it.” The health official made headlines when a hot mic caught him muttering that Marshall was a “moron.” (Read more from “GOP Senator Releases Fauci’s Financial Records, Claims They Show He ‘Lied'” HERE)

‘Unreal’ Redefined: Teacher Claims She Was Fired for Not ‘Meowing’ at Student

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[T]here’s a new definition for unreal, found in a report in which a substitute teacher claims to have been refused further work for not meowing at a student.

It comes from a Tiktok video, where, according to a PostMillennial report, the teacher was told, after failing to meow, by school officials, “We no longer need your services if you can’t identify with all the children in the classroom.” . . .

“I’m a sub, and the most important we do is take roll, so the school gets paid. So, I’m looking at the seating chart as I’m going up and down the rows and marking who’s here and who’s not,” said the women who posted the video, who uses the screen name @crazynamebridgetmichael.

On her most recent venture into a classroom, she described, “I get to the third row and I hear this ‘meow!’ Uhhh, excuse me? Excuse me?”

She continues, “I start looking on the ground, through the fourth row—everything’s good. Go to the fifth row—everybody’s there. Then I hear ‘meow!’ I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s up with that? Who’s doing it?’ And this little girl in the very front row says, ‘You have to meow back at him; he identifies as a cat.’ Are you kidding me?” (Read more from “‘Unreal’ Redefined: Teacher Claims She Was Fired for Not ‘Meowing’ at Student” HERE)

Top University Now Requires Double Masking Despite 99% Vax Rate, Booster Requirement and Twice-Weekly Testing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is requiring students to either wear two masks or wear an N-95 or KN-95 mask on campus during the spring semester despite nearly universal vaccination on campus and mandatory, twice-weekly testing.

The school, which is a global leader on COVID-19 research and public health policy, announced new safety protocols in a Friday email to students emphasizing the surge in COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron coronavirus variant. The single cloth and surgical masks commonly worn on campus no longer meet the university’s mask requirements.

The university reported zero incidents of transmission on campus or in university workplaces when COVID-19 rules were followed. According to JHU, 99% of its students and faculty are vaccinated.

A press release from JHU noted that, with nearly universal vaccination of university students and faculty, the current surge is different from that of 2021, but it went on to explain that the school is imposing a vaccine booster mandate with a Feb. 1 deadline in addition to twice-weekly testing for students. The release acknowledged the relatively low risk the latest variant poses to most students.

Just-Released Docs Deal Another Blow to Biden’s Legacy on Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense (DOD) was warned that the Afghan Air Force would collapse without help from the U.S. months before President Joe Biden announced the country would withdraw from Afghanistan, according to a declassified watchdog report.

The watchdog report, declassified Tuesday and written by Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko, was given to the DOD in January 2021, according to The Associated Press. It warned that the U.S. had not adequately trained support staff for the country and that the Afghan Air Force wouldn’t be able to keep up aircraft without U.S. help.

The report highlights the fact that the Biden administration was warned months ahead of time of the collapse of the Afghan Air Force. Biden was sharply criticized for his administration’s withdrawal process from the country, though the president has maintained that chaos was inevitable. His administration has also claimed that while they were prepared for the chaos, Afghanistan fell more quickly than anticipated following a rapid Taliban takeover.

Washington’s watchdog report echoes concerns made by Afghan officials regarding the U.S. withdrawal, the AP also noted.

“Most of the planes are back on the ground. They cannot fly and most of them are out of ammunition,” Ata Mohammed Noor, a warlord in northern Afghanistan, said in July. (Read more from “Just-Released Docs Deal Another Blow to Biden’s Legacy on Afghanistan” HERE)

Cracker Barrel Ordered to Pay Millions to Customer Who Was Served Chemical

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jury in Tennessee ordered Cracker Barrel to pay a man millions for serving him a glass filled with a cleaning chemical instead of water — but he’ll get far less due to a cap on damages, according to his attorney.

A Marion County jury awarded William Cronnon, whose mouth and esophagus were burned during an April 2014 visit to the country-themed restaurant chain, $4.3 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages on Jan. 6, court documents obtained by WTVC show.

But Cronnon will receive only about $750,000 — despite a jury finding that Cracker Barrel acted negligently — due to a limit on economic damages, his attorney told the station Thursday.

“This is an unfair law,” attorney Thomas Greer said. “He will not receive anything close to what he is entitled to.”

A jury determined Cracker Barrel was at fault for serving Cronnon a glass filled with Eco-San sanitizer instead of water during his 2014 visit to a Marion County location. The chemical used to clean kitchen surfaces had been kept in unmarked pitchers, court documents show.
