Is The Omicron Variant The 'Midterm Election Variant'?
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/29/2021 12:46:24 AM
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who previously served as White House physician under Barack Obama and Donald Trump, has a disturbing theory about the Omicron variant. On Saturday, Jackson suggested that Democrats will use the Omicron variant to push for universal mail-in voting for the 2022 midterm elections and save their party from an electoral bloodbath next year. “Here comes the MEV – the Midterm Election Variant!” Jackson tweeted. “They NEED a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. Democrats will do anything to CHEAT during an election – but we’re not going to let them!” Reaction to the Omicron variant has been mixed. Some countries, including the United States,

Most of the time, the panel or roundtable portion of any weekly Sunday political program is a lively exchange among the moderator and the panelists. But that wasn’t the case during one segment of CBS News’ “Face The Nation” this week.
As the show does once a year, it convened a panel made up entirely of the news division’s correspondents, ostensibly to review the big stories of 2021 and make some predictions about where those storylines will go in 2022 and beyond. But at some point in the segment, the panel sat in stunned silence for over a minute-and-a-half, as one of their own spoke the truth about how damaging
News flash: I’m as tired of writing about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant as you are of reading about it. But here’s the thing. Turns out, there’s a legitimate reason to panic over Omicron. On the left, that is. Based on the results of a new study, it’s hard for people with Omicron to distinguish it from a common cold.
Let’s first back up the bus.
As my colleague Scott Hounsell reported on Friday, a recent Danish study suggests Moderna’s mRNA COVID vaccine actually increases the probability of contracting the Omicron variant after 90 days — a devastating body blow to the narrative of fearmongering liberals everywhere. Turns out, it’s even worse.

Actors Flocking to Anti-American Chinese
Propaganda Films 24 replies
The rapid decline of Hollywood’s share of the Chinese film market – the largest in the world as of 2020, when the Chinese coronavirus pandemic shut American cinemas and productions down – has created a small but growing market of Western actors landing big roles as the villains in communist propaganda movies.
Hollywood studios have spent much of the past decade attempting to court Chinese audiences, which necessitates groveling to the Chinese Communist Party lest their productions get censored or simply outlawed in the country. The American entertainment establishment has tried everything – from spending heavily on low-intellect and inoffensive comic book movies to erasing even a suspected mention
Alternate headline: Joe Manchin knows how to bring home the media bacon! Punchbowl keeps tabs on political spending in key states, and claims that political activists have spent at least $10 million in West Virginia to either influence Manchin, bully him, or prepare the ground for a 2024 challenge to the incumbent Democrat.
What have progressives gotten for the cash? Not much, as Manchin has largely stuck to his positions regardless, but Mountain State TV and radio stations must be loving this:
Over the last year, we’ve noticed a big chunk of issue ads targeting Manchin back home. The reasons here are obvious: He’s the critical Democratic vote on nearly every issue

Fox News pulled off a remarkable turnaround in 2021. The long-dominant network began the year with a historic run at third place in the January ratings but has since rebounded in a dramatic fashion.
Despite its slow start, Fox is set to finish 2021 – for the sixth year in a row – as the number one channel on basic cable, which will also mark its 20th straight year as the number one network in cable news. Fox News Media’s CEO Suzanne Scott boasted in a statement that it is the only cable news network to show growth in a year in which everyone lost viewers en mass.

An Atlanta UPS delivery driver left a sweet message for a stranger and is receiving that kindness back in a way he never imagined.
Twenty-four-year-old Dallen Harrell was making a delivery not long ago in a Roswell neighborhood when he saw a house with a big stork lawn sign announcing that a boy had just been born, WSB-TV reported Thursday.
Harrell deposited the boxes and also left a heartfelt message on the family’s Nest security camera.
“If this is the ‘It’s a Boy’ house … I hope all is going well with your newborn,” he commented, adding, “I had a child at around the same time you guys did,
After spending much of Biden’s term in relative hiding, Kamala Harris has made a lot of news lately. Unfortunately for her, none of it has been good.
From blowing up on podcast hosts to claims that racism and sexism are driving her approval down, it’s been one conflict after another for the vice president. And to put it mildly, she’s handled none of it well. That’s probably why she’s doing an interview on CBS News this Sunday. When nothing else is working, get out in front of the bad news, I suppose.
And while most of the interview is under embargo for several more days, we are getting some leaked snippets.
Working at the White House is a high-stress job, no doubt. It’s also the kind of job that encourages burnout after a couple of years given the workload and pressures.
But Politico is reporting that there is a mass exodus of White House aides brewing, and it’s not entirely due to burnout.
The Politico report comes the same month in which an article detailing turmoil and high turnover in Vice President Kamala Harris’s office appeared.
Turnover in White House staff after the first year is expected. Some aides only take the job to pad their resumes. Others use the White House as a stepping stone
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is altering the rules for when health workers who test positive for COVID-19 can return to the job, saying such workers can return after seven days in isolation instead of 10.
The change comes as the U.S. braces for a new wave of coronavirus cases from the heavily contagious omicron variant, which is expected to put new stress on the U.S. health care system.
In a statement, the CDC said that it is recommending a seven-day isolation and quarantine period for workers in that field.
"As the healthcare community prepares for an anticipated surge in patients due to Omicron, CDC is updating
Americans’ confidence in the economy is the “worst since the Great Recession,” according to a Gallup poll released on Wednesday.
The Economic Confidence Index (ECI) is down to -33, which while far from the record low of -72 in October 2008, reflects a negative growing sentiment toward rampant inflation. Notably, the ECI is just as low as it was in April 2020 — the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
“With inflation in the U.S. at its highest point since 1982, Americans’ confidence in the economy has dropped to where it was in April 2020, when nationwide shutdowns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic plunged
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and was just named Time’s “Person of the Year.”
But it’s pretty clear that he’s not a compliant woke liberal. Indeed, he’s angered many on the left because he does in fact challenge their orthodoxies. Musk has not only stood up against the targeting of the rich by people like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), but he’s also stood up against lockdown orders over COVID, calling them “fascist.”
However, Musk is likely to drive them into even more of a meltdown with what he just did. He gave the Babylon Bee
On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sounded off on Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reportedly thinking about leaving the Democratic Party.
The White House slammed Manchin as disloyal to the party after the senator rejected President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
McConnell told “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that if Manchin were to join the GOP, he would find “a lot of folks who have similar views on a whole range of issues.” He added it was possible Manchin would get to keep his chairmanship of the Energy Committee if he made the move.
“[W]hat the White House did to Joe Manchin the other day

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 Project creator and professor, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that parents should not be in charge of deciding what is taught in schools.Hannah-Jones said, “I don’t really understand this idea that parents should decide what’s being taught. I’m not a professional educator. I don’t have a degree in social studies or science. We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job.”
Kamala Harris said she doesn't think she was set up for failure despite a myriad of criticisms plaguing her office in year No. 1 as the first female and minority vice president in U.S. history.Some Democrats have excused Harris' shortcomings, claiming she was given too ambitious of responsibilities as vice president, including addressing the southern border crisis.'I've talked to some of your former Senate colleagues and they say you have been given an impossible portfolio,' CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan prompted in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday praised former President Donald Trump for showing his support of COVID vaccines and booster shots, and told of his shock at the backlash that Trump had received for doing so.(Snip)'And I think that his continuing to say that people should get vaccinated and articulating that to them, in my mind is a good thing,' Fauci said, noting: 'I hope he keeps it up.'(Snip)In the interview with Owens last week, Trump told her that people unvaccinated against coronavirus are the ones getting 'very sick' and encouraged all Americans get the jab all while taking credit for its creation.
As the Brandon administration floods the public with ‘free’ test kits, expect the fear-induced sheeple to overwhelm the Emergency Rooms NATIONWIDE.
Vermont has the highest vaccination rate in the nation, is one of the least densely populated states, and the ERs are clogged by people with no COVID symptoms.
As WCAX reported some Vermonters who are able to find antigen tests and then test positive are clogging up emergency rooms.
The emergency department at the Rutland Regional Medical Center has been overwhelmed with asymptomatic folks.
The NASCAR driver who recently rose in fame after unintentionally sparking the "Let’s Go Brandon!" phrase says he’s had a hard time finding corporate sponsors following the chant going viral. "It got extremely difficult for us. … If you’re a national corporation, that means you sell to all consumers… and unfortunately, when you get dragged into the political arena, people want you to take a side,’" Brown told Sports Business Journal in a recent interview. "It's hard for a brand to want to attach to somebody who might be kind of divisive in their consumer base. If I'm going to divide Coca-Cola, why would they want to talk to me?”
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden did not go to church on Christmas, choosing instead to view Mass virtually from the White House.
The White House did not explain why the Bidens skipped Church for Christmas, as the president typically attends Catholic Mass regularly.
Instead, the first couple watched Holy Trinity Catholic Church’s Christmas Eve Mass “virtually” from the White House.
Fears of the spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus kept some Americans from attending Christmas services this year.
Vice President Kamala Harris is turning to Hillary Clinton for advice on plotting "a path forward," according to a new report.
The New York Times reports Harris sought out the counsel of Clinton, the first female Democratic presidential nominee and a fellow former U.S. senator, and other women when she came to Washington.
arris and Clinton speak every few months on the phone, and the two met in the vice president's West Wing office in November, the report said.
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell shared an expletive-laden death threat she got via voicemail recently, two years after Donald Trump slammed her for voting to impeach him and suggested that her late husband was 'looking up' at her from hell. Dingell, who represents Michigan's 12th Congressional District, shared the recent voicemail Sunday morning in an episode of CNN's State of the Union with Dana Bash to show that the bile continues to pour in. 'You godd*** old senile b****. You’re as old and ugly as Biden. You ought to get the f**** off the planet.
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to misspeak during her CBS interview Sunday when she said 'democracy' is the most significant national security threat facing the United States. She had been trying to echo Democrats' warning about threats to the 'integrity' of the American democratic system as her boss, President Joe Biden, tries to push his voting rights agenda through Congress. In the final portion of her wide-ranging interview released over the week, Harris also defended the Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in August, instead blaming its predecessor for first setting the deadline to leave.
With the spread of Omicron for the last couple of months, members of the Branch Covidian Cult have been freebasing their latest fix for panic, fed to them by their dealers and the other members of the fear cartel. As they froth at the mouth, demanding that we partake of their mind-altering drug-of-choice, their monotonal chant drones on, demanding we “follow the science” and “trust the scientists” absent a single study supporting their fear, without identifying a single scientist whom we should trust, and, more importantly, why we should trust them. Fauci has become a meme of himself in recent months (and especially over the last seven days),
President Joe Biden extended Kwanzaa greetings on Sunday to people celebrating the holiday.“As we begin the seven days of Kwanzaa, Jill and I send our best wishes to everyone celebrating,” Biden wrote on social media. “May this time of reflection on the rich heritage of African American culture bring peace, unity, and joy.” (Tweet) Black nationalist activists created and promoted the Kwanzaa holiday in the 1960s.President Bill Clinton was the first American president to recognize the Kwanzaa holiday in a statement in 1997. Subsequent presidents have recognized Kwanzaa in official White House statements, including President Donald Trump.

Is there anything positive we can say about 2021?
Yes. We can say that it was marginally better than 2020.
Granted, this is not high praise. It’s like saying that somebody is marginally nicer than Hitler. But it’s something.
What was better about 2021? For one thing, people finally emerged from their isolated pandemic cocoons and started connecting with others. Granted, the vast majority of the people who connected with us this year wanted to discuss our car’s extended warranty. But still.
Another improvement was that most stores got rid of those one-way anti-COVID arrows on the floor. Remember those, from 2020? You’d be halfway down a supermarket aisle, and you’d realize
