How is it that the United States has the most people dead from COVID-19 compared with every other country in the world when we invented the vaccines which supposedly saved so many lives?
81.4% of Americans had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of May 9, 2023 according to Our World in Data.
By April 2022, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that about 6 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted, and that’s remained true through at least August 2022 (the most recent month of data).

Meanwhile White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is getting some much needed help from new hire Tyler Cherry who was communications director for Deb Haaland at Interior
I'm sure Joe knows all about this guy lol:
"Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases," Cherry posted in 2015 amid riots that were sparked following the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man, in police custody in Baltimore.
"Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs," he stated in a separate post months later.
In 2018, Cherry called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE), the Homeland Security Department agency tasked with preventing
cross-border crime and illegal immigration, to be abolished.
Cherry was also posting support for "Palestine" on social media in 2014 during the Gaza War in which Palestinian forces, led by the radical Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, sparking a forceful Israeli response that involved airstrikes and a ground invasion.
"Cheersing in bars to ending the occupation of Palestine — no shame and f--- your glares #ISupportGaza #FreePalestine," Cherry said on July 25, 2014, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Cherry also has a history of criticizing Republicans on social media, including in 2017 when he said that conservatives in the Republican Party were focused on "white grievance politics."
"The Tea Party was never about the debt/deficit but about racism and white grievance politics," he wrote on X.

Update:
Very-Fine-People-On-Both-Sides Hoax of 2017 in the news: There was a change of ownership at Snopes in September 2022
Biden decided to run for president, he said, because Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people.
Funny what a change of ownership in September 2022 can do.
Trump and Biden have a debate scheduled for next Thursday, coincidentally.
Biden made the uncle-eaten-by-cannibals claim in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on April 17th
Major American media protected the president from this story for five days and didn't address it widely until Papua New Guinea got offended by his remarks.
It wasn't "news" before that, because it was bad.
Pennsylvania polling headed south for Biden starting on April 30 and not even the May 31 conviction of Trump has reversed it.
Letting Biden loose in Pennsylvania for three days to pile up eight fact checks from CNN of all places appears to have been a very costly political mistake.
Trump takes the war to Biden's home turf, turns out big, enthusiastic crowd in North Philly
Biden took 81% of the vote in Philadelphia County in 2020 but won Pennsylvania by only 82,000 votes.
Trump: "I went to school in Philadelphia" lol, which is some lie you'd expect Joe Biden to say but is actually true in Trump's case.
CNN, 19 April 2024:
President Joe Biden spent three days this week campaigning in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. He littered his remarks with false and misleading claims on subjects ranging from his annual earnings to his cap on seniors’ prescription drug spending to the demographics of China to the frequency of his past travel to Iraq and Afghanistan.
And in Biden’s most eyebrow-raising remarks of the campaign swing, he told and then retold a story in which he strongly suggested his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down while he fought in World War II. Biden’s dramatic details don’t match the Defense Department’s official account of the plane crash.
Here is a fact check of eight of Biden’s Pennsylvania remarks.

One reason Americans are fatter than ever might seem to be sloth, except for the fact that 60% of the population worked in both 1979 and 2022 but the average work week dropped by just one hour over the period
According to the CDC, obesity is most severe among those of late middle-age, so if you can prevent it before then you are more likely to escape it later:
The prevalence of severe obesity was highest among adults aged 40–59 compared with other age groups.
Peak Baby Boom turned 40 in 1997.
Americans worked 32.61 hours per week on average in 1979 and 31.57 hours in 2022 |
All countries in 2016 with 30% of population or more obese |
60% of the US population was working in both 1979 and 2022 |

Hey remember when Hillary got all wobbly at the 9/11 memorial service in 2016 and POLITICO questioned the authenticity of the video showing her getting stuffed into a van?
Yeah, good times 2016:
Video posted on Twitter shows a woman that appears to be Clinton briefly swooning before being helped into a waiting van by her staff.
POLITICO has asked the campaign to confirm the clip’s authenticity.
Because the event was a small, non-campaign event, just a small pool of reporters was there to cover the ceremony, but those on hand did not witness any incident.
Calls and emails to more than a dozen Clinton staffers and associates asking for explanation were not returned.
Yeah, because the French center and left have made them prey
French women voters swing sharply to far right...
In a video Bardella argued that his party supported advances for women’s rights, from medical support to protection for women suffering domestic abuse. He also said he’d deport “foreign delinquents and criminals” and introduce stricter sentences for violence against women.
“No woman should ever have to fear going out into the streets of our country, whatever the time of day or night,” he said. ... “Our European values will always be outstandingly superior to those which enslave women, imprison them behind headscarves,” he said in a speech before the European Parliament last year.
Biden's immigration orders are as illegal as Obama's: The president has plenary statutory authority under 8 U.S.C. 1201 to deport any alien (legal or illegal) at any time for any reason, but he does not have any reciprocal power to naturalize aliens outside of Congress
During the fledgling nation's constitutional ratification debates, which assumed existential importance after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, Federalists felt compelled to distinguish the presidency from the Crown on the grounds that the king "can make denizens of aliens" but the president has no such power. Indeed, the Framers cared so much about this that they explicitly accorded to Congress, in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the power to "establish a uniform rule of naturalization." The message was clear: The president is not a king.

Chicoms commit act of war against Philippines in Spratly Islands' Second Thomas Shoal, Biden sits idly by despite actual treaty of 1951 pledging mutual defense
‘Only pirates do this’: Philippines accuses China of using bladed weapons in major South China Sea escalation
Instead of bailing out a bunch of deadbeat ingrates' student loans for votes in November maybe demagogue Joe Biden should have built some ships to help us fulfill our promises to our freedom-loving friends around the world.
Biden's forgiven student loans are nothing but new spending obligations of the American taxpayer financed by more borrowing: Big jump in the 2024 deficit due to student loan bailouts
Student loan relief contributing to 27% jump in projected federal budget deficit, per CBO
Donald Trump for some reason thinks this is the precise moment we want to hear that he wants to hand out green cards even to community college graduates
I mean, if this dope were a foreigner he'd never get one because he couldn't complete even that:
11 million illegal aliens under Joe Biden isn't enough, apparently.
We could have had Ron DeSantis, but Republicans are as insane as the Democrats.

Pew Research details crackpot beliefs held by a certain protected group and softens report under fierce social justice warrior backlash
PEW revises 'racial conspiracy theories' report after backlash...
In the report released June 10 titled “Most Black Americans Believe Racial Conspiracy Theories About U.S. Institutions,” Pew detailed “the suspicions that Black adults might have about the actions of U.S. institutions based on their personal and collective historical experiences with racial discrimination.” Survey respondents highlighted issues such as discrimination in the medical field, incarceration, and guns and drugs in Black communities. ... Pew released the revised report Saturday with a new title: “Most Black Americans Believe U.S. Institutions Were Designed To Hold Black People Back.” The updated report includes a new headline, additional context and direct quotes from respondents.
It must infuriate Robin DiAngelo that Pew capitalizes "white" lol.
The crackpot beliefs are still there for all to see:
- 76% of Black adults say Black public officials today are singled out to be discredited in a way that doesn’t happen to White public officials.
- 76% say police today do very little to stop guns and drugs from flooding Black communities.
- 74% say Black people are more likely than White people to be incarcerated because prisons want to make money on the backs of Black people today.
- 67% of Black Americans say businesses today target marketing of luxury products to Black people in order to put them into debt.
- 55% of Black adults say secret and nonconsensual medical experiments (like the Tuskegee study) are happening to Black people today.
- 55% of Black adults say the government today encourages single motherhood and the elimination of Black men from Black families.
- 51% of Black adults say the government promotes birth control and abortion to reduce the size of the Black population, and this is happening today.

NBC News and Biden's spokesman Andrew Bates want you to believe this video from Chris Gardner, senior staff writer for The Hollywood Reporter, is a cheap fake
Here is Gardner's original video:
Senior National Political Reporter for NBC News:
“Fresh off being fact checked by at least 6 mainstream outlets for lying about President Biden with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch’s sad little super PAC, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting its readers and itself once again,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement in reference to a video of Biden at a fundraiser with former President Barack Obama over the weekend that landed on the cover of the Post, a conservative tabloid.
The truly mentally ill person in this story is the tolerant woman who was brutally attacked and raped by the same man who murdered the other one
She's as much a danger to the rest of us as the perp.
2 women are brutally attacked on Venice Canals, focusing debate on crime, homelessness
She feels the attacks are emblematic of an issue no one wants to address: the mental health and drug crisis among the unhoused residents of Venice.
"It's not like they're horrible people," Klein said. "It's just we need to stop being in denial about our family members and our community members who are in desperate need of mental health help — especially those who are really struggling on the streets."
Voters should oppose EVERYTHING because taxes pay for NOTHING

At the weekend fundraiser Obama had to come and lead Joe Biden by the hand off the stage, similar to Meloni last week at the G7 corralling the wandering Joe back on it
Imagine how many different people are actually running the presidential show behind the scenes of decision-making.
CNBC ramps up pro-Biden stories, trots out professors of philosophy, religion, and sociology, who directly depend on the student loan pipeline, to rationalize forgiveness for me but not for thee
The chutzpah of these people sometimes all the time. Get a haircut and get a real job.
In the investment world, we call this "talking up your book", about which CNBC knows a lot.

Platitudinous Glenn Loury thinks like a Marxist in his old age: Workers of all races have a common bond, he says
This kind of politics is universal.
The lapdogs lick it up here.
Glenn Loury last worked in a factory, when, in 1972? More than 12% of the civilian population had a manufacturing job back then. Today fewer than 5% have one. But in neither case was there anything universal about being working class.
What have miners, sailors, tailors' apprentices, metalworkers, waiters, bank officials, ploughmen, and scavengers in common with one another?
