It's going to be fun to watch all the lemmings sign consent forms for "mandated" vaccines and COVID-19 tests
Watch Nancy Pelosi flip on vaccine mandates in about two seconds
Government unions have already said, Not so fast!
In April Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, said "We cannot require someone to be vaccinated" (at about 1:30 below).
We'll see how long that lasts.
Probably about as long as Joe's promise to get every last American out of Kabul.
Remember when Trump said the Taliban deal would leave Afghanistan "free from al-Qaida, ISIS"?
None of his supporters want to talk about that stupid load of BS Trump tried to sell.

In December of last year Anthony Fauci said 50% vaccination would be enough to have an impact on the number of infections
Wrong again.
The United States has added 7 million cases since achieving 50% vaccination with one dose on June 1, and that spike continued strong despite achieving 50% full vaccination on August 14.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's senior official for infectious diseases, predicts the United States could begin to achieve early stages of herd immunity against the deadly coronavirus by late spring or summer. And if that happens, Fauci anticipates, "we could really turn this thing around" toward the end of 2021.
In a wide-ranging interview Tuesday on Morning Edition, NPR's Rachel Martin asked Fauci how many Americans need to receive the vaccine to have an impact on the number of COVID-19 infections.
"I would say 50% would have to get vaccinated before you start to see an impact," Fauci said. "But I would say 75 to 85% would have to get vaccinated if you want to have that blanket of herd immunity."
It's amazing how wrong Anthony Fauci was last November but people still have faith in whatever he says
"Certainly it’s not going to be a pandemic for a lot longer, because I believe the vaccines are going to turn that around,” Fauci said. “Vaccines will help us. What we’ve got to do is just hang on and continue to double down on the public health measures.” ... The public also needs to be prepared for the likelihood that protection against the virus -- whether from vaccines or from fighting off Covid -- will probably only last for a year, perhaps two, he said. That’s based on experience with similar viruses and the growing number of documented cases of people being infected with this coronavirus twice, he said.

Joe Biden's Jul 23 phone call with Afghan President Ghani shows him unfit to be Commander in Chief, but not for the reason being trotted out
Everyone on the right is fixated on Joe Biden encouraging Ghani to paint a rosier picture to the press about the progress of the war in exchange for "aid".
In other words, Joe was trying to bribe Ghani to lie. The scenario is very reminiscent of VP Joe Biden's intimidation of the Ukrainians involving his threat to withhold US aid unless they fired a prosecutor who was looking into the Ukrainian activities of Biden's son, Hunter.
But this framing is a diversion, and a misrepresentation.
The call, to the extent Reuters has reported on it, shows Ghani reciting a litany of woe to Joe Biden about how catastrophe is imminent.
In what world does it make sense for Joe to respond to that with the offer of "aid" to a man who is clearly convinced that the end is nigh? Ghani was reciting that litany because everything was falling apart precisely because of the American pull-out. Just three weeks prior the US pulled out of Bagram in the dead of night Jul 2, from which point everything began to cascade out of control.
Ghani had to find what he was hearing from Biden incredible, in particular the promise of "continued close air support".
But close air support had already been withdrawn from Jul 2. It wasn't "continuing". It had already ended weeks prior. That was the problem, AND BIDEN DIDN'T KNOW IT. And even if he once knew it because his generals and advisers told him, HE FORGOT IT. Biden is behaving in the call as if he has resources at his command which are no longer there.
Imagine being Ghani having to deal with such unreality coming out of the mouth of the American president.
By the time of the call, Jul 23, the US withdrawal was already more than 95% complete according to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley, as reported by CNBC on Jul 21:
At the Pentagon on Wednesday, the nation’s highest military officer told reporters that the U.S. has completed more than 95% of the herculean task of withdrawing from Afghanistan.
“The sheer volume of movement involved in this operation has been extraordinary,” said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, adding that the U.S. conducted more than 980 airlifts of cargo in less than three months.
“Furthermore, all the military operating bases, outside of Kabul, have been fully transferred to the Afghan Ministry of Defense and the Afghan security forces.”
Joe Biden was in no position to act as Commander in Chief in Afghanistan on Jul 23 because there was nothing left to command. In truth, he hasn't been fit since before the election, during which he campaigned from the safety of a bunker, protected by the media in the tank for him.
His unfitness for the duties of the office is self-evident to anyone paying attention day to day, except that everyone pretends not to see.
They just smile and pass.
But Ghani didn't pretend. He prepared himself an out. That's why he escaped and is alive today and living in the UAE.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, is living in la la land.
US COVID-19 hospitalizations in the worst states, CA, TX, FL, have flattened the curve or otherwise turned lower
California is in blue in the graphs, Texas in pink, and Florida in green. New York, the most devastated state at the beginning of the pandemic, is shown in gray for reference.
Hysterical media reports about hospital problems do not reflect the overall reality. At the worst in New York the percent of hospital beds taken by C19 patients was about 36% and neither California nor Florida got that bad this time or last. Texas is an also-ran.
When things get serious hospitals simply have to stop elective procedures and devote more resources to the pandemic. They hate doing that because it's not PROFITABLE. Counting as many deaths as possible as C19 deaths to get federal reimbursements hardly comes close to making up for that.
That's what all the caterwauling in the press is really about.
If keeping you healthy were really the aim of government and the medical establishment, THEY WOULDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY AT IT.
Do yourself a favor. Stay healthy and starve THE BEASTS.

Breakthrough deaths in Southern Nevada Aug 11-19 were 52% of the total
During that same period of time (August 11th – August 19th), the SNHD’s total COVID Deaths (those of both vaccinated and unvaccinated), rose from 4936 to 5032, or 96 deaths. Of the total deaths, 50 of them were fully vaccinated, meaning 52% of the deaths were fully vaccinated patients. As previously discussed, only 46% of the county is vaccinated, showing that vaccinated people were more likely to die from a COVID-19 infection from this sample than were the unvaccinated. At 52%, a 6 point swing isn’t drastic enough to justify saying the vaccine is more dangerous than being unvaccinated, but the narrative that the vaccine makes it so you are less likely to die from COVID-19 doesn’t hold water in this case.
More.
The pandemic of the vaccinated.

Full time jobs as a percentage of population now average 48.3% through August 2021
Full time as a percentage of population rose to 49.18 in August after peaking in July, as is typical, at 49.28.
The measure ebbs after summer and flows in the spring, mirrored by a peak oscillation in usually part-time employment in the winter, which is a much smaller part of the population, historically averaging 27+ million in the years before the latest catastrophe.
The 48.3% average to date in 2021 is one full point ahead of the average for 2020 at 47.3%, but remains far off the 2019 average at 50.4%, which itself hardly represented a return to what was normal before the Great Financial Crisis.
Full time work never recovered after GFC I, which exposed the hollowed out character of the US economy after decades of out-sourcing, off-shoring, and mass low-wage immigration.
