Nancy Pelosi, who has to pass bills to find out what's in them, wonders where the attitude of lawlessness in America comes from
Maybe from being "not a serious country"?

The US House passed the $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling in the dead of night with just one, unneeded, Republican vote
The bill, which lawmakers passed 221-209, with one Republican voting yes, raises the federal debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion to increase the limit to close to $31 trillion.
More.
Adam Kinzinger was the lone Republican vote in the House:
Representative Adam Kinzinger was the only Republican lawmaker who voted with Democrats in the House to raise the debt ceiling, staving off a potentially disastrous federal default.
Last week, Kinzinger was also the only Republican to back the Democrats over the plan struck by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) allowing Senate Democrats to lift the ceiling through a simple majority vote.
The Illinois congressman, one of 10 Republicans to vote for the second impeachment of ex-President Donald Trump after the Capitol insurrection and one of only two GOP lawmakers on the January 6 committee investigating the riots that day, will not be standing for re-election in the 2022 midterms.
LOL lunatic New York City to ban natural gas connections after 2027 to reduce CO2 emissions by 0.036% by 2040
The commie Mayor Bill de BlowMyNoseio calls this a critical step to fight back against climate change on the local level and guarantee a green city for generations to come.
North America emitted 5.78 BILLION tons in 2020. The NYC reduction over 12 years will come to just 2.1 MILLION tons.
No projection was given for the reduction in population this will produce in NYC.
However, states like Texas and Arizona have barred cities from implementing such changes, citing that consumers have the right to pick their energy sources.

US Senate Democrats passed a $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling 50-49 this afternoon without a single Republican vote after 14 Republicans voted to allow a one time simple majority arrangement
Seems like there's not much wiggle room between a $2.5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling and a proposed Democrat reconciliation spending bill now coming in at $1.75 trillion.

Booster protection against Omicron is four times lower than against Delta, and basically non-existent if you've had only two shots
Those who received the second dose did not have any neutralization ability against the variant, while they continued to have some ability against Delta and even the original Wuhan strain.
“There was no neutralization ability whatsoever, and that is very worrisome,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit at the hospital, in a briefing on Saturday night, adding that these people might also be exposed to serious disease. ...
On the other hand, the Sheba study found that the booster dose does increase the ability of the vaccine to work against Omicron by about 100-fold, meaning that there is “significant protection,” Regev Yochay said. “It is lower than the neutralizing ability against the Delta – about four times lower. But it is very optimistic.”
Kinda hard for the country to have a sense of urgency about 800k COVID-19 deaths when we kill that many and more unborn every year
Americans are inured to death.
“Sometime in the next two days we’re going to pass a terrible milestone in this country, when the 800,000th person in this country dies of this virus,” Reiner said. “This virus killed more people in this country than any single war has. The Civil War killed 655,000 Americans, we’re about to pass 800,000. But I don’t see a war footing. Where is the war footing? Where is the sense of urgency in this country?”

LOL Chris Wallace leaves FOX for CNN after development of recent big opening
I hope they do a better job of vetting his producer than they did for Fredo.
This is CNN: Fredo's Connecticut pal with the Pope doll has been indicted for unlawful sexual activity with a female minor from Nevada (and her mother apparently), aka pedophilia and child-sex-trafficking
Fredo was fired from CNN a week ago for violating the standards of JoUrNoMaLiSm.
But The Atlantic, December 9, 2021, wants you to know it is THE GREAT (FAKE) CHILD-SEX-TRAFFICKING EPIDEMIC.
Omicron variant is roundly defeating the fully-vaccinated in statistically robust Denmark, AND THE BOOSTED
The first Omicron infection in Denmark was detected in a sample from Nov 22. Since then, 1,280 cases have been recorded, and Omicron represented 4.5-5 per cent of all Covid-19 infections in the country in the beginning of this week. ... almost 75 per cent of those infected by Omicron had received 2 doses of Covid-19 vaccine. ... the Danish data shows more than 100 Omicron cases were discovered among the 19.3 per cent of Danes who have received booster shots.
Denmark was 70% fully-vaccinated by August 24th.
COVID-19 hospitalizations have actually fallen slightly in Denmark since November 22.
The case fatality rate in the world to date is 3.6 times higher than it is in Denmark, in the USA to date almost 3 times higher than it is in Denmark.
Vaccinologist more worried about fakers spreading C19 than the New Zealander who was paid by them to get the C19 jab 10 TIMES in their stead
Vaccinologist and associate professor Helen Petousis-Harris called the behavior “unbelievably selfish” and taking advantage of somebody who needs some money. It could cause serious harm from the people who are not vaccinated, saying they are, and spreading the virus, she said. Prof Petousis-Harris said the man who took multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccine is unlikely to come to any serious harm, but likely to feel crap the next day from a general immune response. “We know that people have in error been given the whole five doses in a vial instead of it being diluted, we know that has happened overseas, and we know with other vaccines errors have occurred and there has been no long-term problems,” she said. But Prof Petousis-Harris said receiving multiple doses of the Covid-19 vaccine is not ideal, saying when people get given higher doses, they get more fever, pains and headaches.
Oh those evil people who say they are vaccinated when they are not! They are the spreaders, not us!
Warped.

Jim Dover, president and CEO of Sparrow Health in Michigan, makes a preposterous claim, says Michigan "continues to have variant after variant grow and expand across the state" when only Delta dominates
CNN:
"Michigan is not one of the highest vaccination states in the nation. So it continues to have variant after variant grow and expand across the state," he said.
