Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness. On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests.

Will they all be quarantined along with all the House who they hung out with? If the House folks are sequestered that will put a damper on their infamy for a while. Maybe it will give them time to reflect and repent. Ha, ha!

My first thought was false positives for these three and a distraction. My second thought was a distraction to justify masking the country again. All this mask theater is all about control of the country not about disease protection because the masks don't work. Masks all they are is a visible fear Iindicator.

The Kung Flu virus is very much like the common cold virus, genetically. (each is a novel corona virus)The test being used is not accurate in differentiating between the two viruses. Therefore, it is likely that the test in question, which is not to be used for diagnostic purposes, measured a bit of the common cold, if even that, in the Texas trio of cowards. When and if the full story of the Kung Flu pandemic is told, we will realize what a bunch of hokum we were told by Fauci and his gang.

Does no one understand that the Zombie Juice does not protect anyone from catching the Chinese virus. What it does do is theoretically reduce your symptoms when you do catch it. For some the jab is a lethal injection. For others it leads to other serious medical problems like sterility, heart inflammation, headaches, memory loss, blindness, and a host of other documented adverse reactions. I hope they suffer severe adverse reactions or death.

It's a scam. If it came out of a Democrap's mouth it is a lie. Chances are this is some scheme to play for more time and delay the inevitable vote they are going to lose. Quarantine them is some fleabag dive and feed them MREs and tap water for their 14 days. Most of these heifers will be begging to return to TX at the end of two weeks. When they get back, arrest them immediately and drag their lying arses back to the capitol and immediately hold the vote. After they lose, strip every one of them of all their positions and perks.

House Democrats are trying to use a massive climate and infrastructure bill to change how Americans get around — by breaking states’ decades-old fondness for building highways. Legislation the House passed this month is the biggest advance yet in Democrats' efforts to bake climate policies into transportation, addressing the largest single contributor to the United States’ greenhouse gas output. It would also represent an historic shift away from the roads-first approach to federal transportation spending that has reigned since Dwight Eisenhower created the Interstate Highway System.

WASHINGTON - U.S. auto safety regulators on Wednesday urged about 50,000 owners of General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt vehicles that were recalled last year to park outside and away from homes and other structures after charging because of fire risks. Earlier on Wednesday, GM made the same recommendation and added owners should not leave vehicles charging overnight. The recommendation was prompted after the largest U.S. automaker said it was investigating reports of two recent fires in vehicles that were recalled in November for fire risks.

A crush of Americans are seeking to travel overseas again as vaccination rates climb in the U.S., and foreign governments loosen their restrictions. But many of them are running into a critical problem: Their passport is expired. That's led to another crush -- of passport applications -- one that has overwhelmed the State Department's 26 passport agencies across the country and created an enormous backlog of applications. For Americans planning to travel abroad, the agency warned they should submit an application at least six months in advance. The lengthy delays in processing have left many Americans unable to travel, sparking public frustration
