A zoom call, Biden is such a tool.

The topic of the thread is vaccine passport. The biggest qualifier I used was vaccine. If you have received the vaccine you’re unlikely to die from the virus. CDC’s own numbers are 75 million Americans vaccinated and only 74 have died after receiving the vaccine. I did the math in an earlier post and yet vaccinated people (Fauci and Biden) are still wearing the mask. There can only be a few explanations: 1, people are not believing the science as death rates are extremely low, 2, people have been indoctrinated into the belief masks are helping with no particular science behind that if you are vaccinated, and 3, people enjoy being virtue signalers. This category includes those that are wearing the mask to *protect others*.

A police officer is a profession and going through a police academy is the way they are standardized. If they can’t meet the standard, they don’t make it through the academy. It is up to each instructor to hold the standards of that academy, I don’t see a lot of bad interactions with the public and police on a daily basis. The police seem, for the most part, to be doing a good job. It is going to be difficult to do their job if they are always 2nd guessed by the public and politicians who do not understand what training they have had and/or have never done the job. A case in point; Police officers in Chicago may soon require permission from a supervisor before pursuing a suspect on foot, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday. “No one should die as a result of a foot chase,” the mayor said. Police methods have faced new scrutiny recently following the release last week of video footage from the March 29 police shooting death of 13-year-old Adam Toledo. The case has sparked new debate on police use of deadly force. City Alderman Brian Hopkins told FOX 32 that city police already need a superior’s permission to launch a vehicle chase for a suspect. A new policy on foot chases would simply make the same policy apply to all chases. Hopkins acknowledged the most obvious criticism that such a policy would likely attract: that a suspect on foot could be long gone in the time it would take an officer to get the required approval. “The point would be moot then,” Hopkins noted, according to FOX 32. The alderman added that police are seeing more vehicles flee from officers because suspects know about the permission policy. Lightfoot also acknowledged that requiring an OK was a less-than-perfect solution. “I don’t want people out there who are dangerous to think, ‘Well, if I just run, then I’m safe. I can continue to wreak havoc,’” the mayor said. “We can’t live in that world, either.” https://nypost.com/2021/04/21/chicago-police-may-soon-need-supervisors-ok-to-chase-suspects-on-foot-mayor/ The Mayor of Chicago is trying to appease the mob by instituting a policy she knows in weak and that the criminal element in her city will take advantage of, she knows this, she said it herself. She is actually enticing criminals to run from the police. WTF? This is what got Toledo and Wright killed. I am sure policing can improve, but to trash a present system to fit it into a one size fits all type of system hasn’t worked. Just look at the COVID-19 response from different states and you can see some states have done a better job than others in the deaths per million category just because the demographics are different. Why would you force Montana to treat crime that same as NYC?

Another thought about the Columbus shooting; who called the police and what did they expect to happen? Why were all the bystanders just standing around? Is this type of behavior *normal* for the group of people that called the police? Does BLM (the organization) want no interaction with the police if a black person is involved in a life and death situation? What does BLM (the organization) envision as how the police should work and is that vision going to save black lives? In the past, police have used the defense of training as to how they are viewed in interactions with the public that are deemed malicious by the public. Over the years and, now with the Chauvin conviction, things have changed drastically. The DOJ is investigating the Minneapolis Police and those finding will be interesting. If a police officer can not use how they were trained as a defense, they will no longer believe in the training and will be left to their own devices as to how to proceed, until time new training is established. In the meantime, it will take years to *unlearn* techniques that have been taught for decades. Shooting at the largest mass of a perpetrator and shooting until there is not longer a threat, for example. The President, for political gain (IMO), is championing that the country and the police are systematically racist and need whole sale changes. It seems he also wants national guidelines for policing. A federal guideline for Chicago isn’t going to word in Mooresville, NC and could turn my sleepy little town into Chicago. I’m not sure that is going to work and will, eventually, cause more deaths to the black community. I don’t trust the government to do the right thing here.

What could have happened if the police were not there: CINCINNATI — A family is broken after a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in Winton Hills. The teen's father said the pain is immeasurable and described her as the glue that held them all together. "I held her. I watched her as she died. I watched her, you know. All I could do was just hold her, hold her," Maurice Jackson said. Devastation, heartache and loss are all emotions that Jackson, Nyaira Givens' father, is feeling after her sudden death. "I tried. I tried to stop the bleeding," Jackson said. There are so many feelings he cannot escape, and many people wouldn't be able to either, after the loss of a child. Cincinnati police said Givens was stabbed to death by another 13-year-old girl during a fight near the family's home on Topridge Place. Prayers on Tuesday evening helped ease the heartache, but just barely. "Just tried my best to protect her and be the father I could be, you know? I guess I didn't pay attention to all the other stuff that was going on around her," Jackson said. He said his daughter was the second oldest of seven children. He also said she helped keep the family together and loved school. Jackson told WLWT his daughter was a freshman at Aiken High School and went to school with the girl who stabbed her. https://www.wlwt.com/article/family-devastated-after-13-year-old-stabbed-by-former-friend-during-fight-dies/36180426# Has the national media said much about this incident? I haven’t heard much from BLM about this incident. Do they not care if the murder is black on black? Questions need to be asked of the BLM organization from a responsible media.

If you are vaccinated, have no underlying health conditions, are not in a high risk category (obese) and are still wearing a mask you have an underlying *fear* of death that is unreasonable. Do you wear a helmet when diving to work? Do you go 10-15 mph under the speed limit? What is your life about if you don’t take even the slightest risk because you are afraid to die? From the beginning, if you contracted the virus it was NOT a death sentence. The media has promulgated the fear in Americans and they just can’t get over it. If you think *living in fear* is nonsense, you really have to take a look at your life.

Of course if they perceive they have done the right thing, but that is the point. The police want to get ahead of the narrative that will most certainly be skewed, as it is in this case, to calm people down. Most of the controversial times, like in the Chauvin case, the incident is a long drawn out situation and people in the crowd are filming it with their smart phones. That footage is published before the police even look at what the police officers body cam shows. Now the police are trying to control the narrative, unlike in the past. I am sure the police unions, in the past, wanted that footage to be held without being published. Now I would think the unions are just trying to protect their police officers. If they did the wrong thing, it wouldn’t matter if they show it or not.

It’s interesting that the police are now publishing body cam footage to try to quell the false narrative that has already promulgated.

Sad to see it end.

What really got my attention is the Pentagon is developing this technology, not a private company. The trust some people have in our government is amazing.

Let the conspiracy theories begin: Medical researchers at the Pentagon have created a microchip that will detect COVID-19 when inserted under the skin. https://nypost.com/2021/04/12/microchip-developed-by-pentagon-to-detect-covid-19/

Why does it bother you so?

What a guy, always thinking of others. I have mine and the only side effect is I start speaking Russian at times. Два ш лтщцю

I would think that you would have been higher on the priority list. You are obviously a treasure that needs to be preserved; what was DeSantis thinking? In B4 Bird.

You really should expand your information base.

The only people promoting vaccine hesitancy is Fauci and the CDC. If younger Americans get the vaccine and still have to wear a mask, why get it. I know he answer, but Americans will always ask what’s in it for me The hesitancy started during the debates when VP Harris was unsure if she would get a vaccine that was developed under Trump’s Administration. This has a tendency to undermine good common sense.

Americans look to the CDC for guidance, the CDC director came out with a blanket statement, if there were quesitons about who she was talking about they should have been answered before making the statement. If the evidence isn’t clear as to any of your questions, how is the general public confident in the vaccine? Fauci has spread the fear about *variants* and has no evidence that the variant is any worse than the original and how the vaccine does against these variants. So he wants Americans to live in fear until they figure it out. I’m with Rand Paul on this one. If there is any evidence that the variants are causing new infections among vaccinated people, then is the time to corral our mouths again. It’s been months since the appearance of these new variants, show the data or take the mask off. I, personally, don’t like living in fear.

So, you liked my post? HIs popularity was based upon his fighting back from the Democrats full on attempt to impeach him from day one. After 4 long years of this he finally misstepped after the election. The way social media has banned him from their platforms even after January 20th does speak volumes about how afraid people are of his following, which in turn, feeds the legend he has projected. Just stop and it may go away, in other words, let it go.

OPINION — There is nothing worse than watching a person you’re rooting for make a mistake. In the case of former Rep. Katie Hill, the talented newcomer made a major mistake when she engaged in a relationship with a campaign staffer leading up to the 2018 midterm elections. She was right to resign her seat last week because of it. https://www.rollcall.com/2019/11/04/why-katie-hill-had-to-go/ Having a sexual affair with one of her campaign staff a year before she resigned when married. I believe it took about a month before she resigned. The clock is ticking for Gaetz, but it still has to have some substance before the GOP will move. Same as Hill.

At least we are getting clear and unambiguous direction.

@CoffeeTiger again, what Trump said was ridiculous at times, but if you look at his actions it tells you a different story. While Cuomo made policy that directly caused the deaths of thousands of elderly citizens in New York. You are also looking at just what Trump said during the initial outbreak. If you look at some of what the Democratic leaders said at the time, you will find similar dumb things. Examples. Nancy Pelosi encouraging people to celebrate the Chinese New Year in San Francisco. Cuomo stating the New Yorkers have the best of everything and will beat this virus De Blasio not shutting down the subways and encouraging people to go to theaters and movies. He also encouraged people to attend Chinese New Year celebrations in NYC. The Mayor of New Orleans refusing to curtail Madi Gras celebrations that caused super spreader events before the word was invented. What Trump said rang hollow among many Americans and to say his words caused deaths is unverifiable. If you recall, panic set in early as cleaning supplies and toilet paper were hard to find. This happened in spite of what Trump said. Trump lost the election because of his personality and his handling of the Coronavirus early on. Get over it.

This is just untrue. Trump started the whole thing off with a travel ban. I’m not saying Trump didn’t make mistakes, but to say he deserves jail time is right. Cuomo’s direct decision to put COVID positive patients in nursing homes has a direct affect to the nursing home residents and staff. I’m sure there is some governmental immunity Cuomo has, so he’s not worried. The rest of your statement is just railing on Republicans because you don’t like them. Understood, thanks for the unity.

Waiting to go outside. The female (white with ticking) is 9 months, the male is 6 months. Having two cuts down on the time you spend *entertaining* the dogs. FullSizeRender.mov

Great, dogs are the best pets. I just got two GSP’s to try to keep me young. Good luck with the house training.

The public has just learned of Gaetz’s allegations so it will take time to sort it out. I would think we should hear something soon. The Cuomo sex allegations are a byproduct of the Dems not wanting to throw Andy under the bus for the way he handled the nursing homes during the initial rage of the Coronavirus. The sex allegations amount to a diversion, nothing more. This is way Cuomo refused to step down. If Gaetz is guilty he should face jail time. If Cuomo is guilty of forcing COVID positive patients into nursing homes he will not face jail time. You’re right, its not apples to alpples.
