Violet Affleck: "To confront the Long COVID crisis I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason." 🔥🔥🔥

Lauren Boebert is a high school dropout.

I don't say this to shame people who don't finish their education. But it helps underscore how all the chitter chatter about "DEI" has nothing to do with merit.

It's just a racial slur.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

Voters have defeated the far right in France. Marine Le Pen is out & the left won the election - despite press often predicting the opposite. In the US, UK & France, pundits can help push the far right, but voters want sanity.

“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

WaPo, Economist, NYT, all the publishers going after Biden are losing readers who won't forget that they went all in for a candidate who calls them the Enemy of the People. Who, months before the election, do they think is going to subscribe now? The insurrectionists who want them out of business?
