Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Monday he tested positive for the coronavirus as part of routine testing, joining members of Congress on the roster of high-profile politicians who caught the pathogen amid a winter surge. “This morning, as part of my regular testing routine, I received a positive rapid test for COVID-19. I have been vaccinated and boosted, and I am feeling fine at the moment,” Mr. Hogan, a Republican, tweeted. “As the omicron variant becomes dominant, I want to urge you to get vaccinated or get your booster shot as soon as possible.” He joins Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory A. Booker of New Jersey

Comments:

A disease so insidious that you have to be tested to know that you have it, and a vaccine that works so well that they all say "but my symptoms are mild!" to mollify themselves after getting sick anyway, and to keep the charade going.

Lot of poople are finally going to be ACTUALLY immune to this virus after getting over it. Since these "vaccines" don't prevent the disease, illness or transmission to others...this is the only real way to get immunity. Our medical leadership is totally corrupt and incompetent. Killing people, not saving people, is what they are best at.

“I’ve been vaccinated and boosted” Then why was he tested? It’s like doing pregnancy tests in a convent full of nuns because they’re female and could be pregnant.

Hogan is a doofus. It seems that these vaccines are even less effective against variants than the original COVID-19, and that's not saying much. So, what? Send him a card. He'll be sent packing soon enough. #4 raises a good question. I say, follow the science...the real science.

I remember when there was such a thing as the 'winter flu'...every winter. This clown probably has a mild case of the flu, but that isn't dramatic enough to scare more numbskulls into getting jabbed AGAIN.

"Tests positive", OK. Serious question: Is he sick? AFAIK 'testing positive' doesn't really mean much. The test is just worthless.

A test that is at best fifty percent accurate and can't tell the difference between Covid and the flu, isn't a test anyone should be relying on. This Covid virus is part of the cold family. Perhaps this test when producing a positive result, is just identifying someone with a basic cold and not the Delta or Obewon version of Covid. The best advice I've received is lose weight and take Vitamin D and Zinc to keep your immune system healthy. Seems to me, this is a hit or miss virus. Some people get it when in a group of people, and others don't.

Evangelical Lutheran LGBTQ ministry group

A group promoting LGBTQ clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has suspended its first transgender bishop over allegations of “racist words and actions” involving the bishop’s church area and the “Latinx community” in Stockton, California. Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries said its board decided Dec. 16 “to suspend” Bishop Megan Rohrer’s membership “in the ELM Proclaim community and events.” The Proclaim program is, ELM says, “the professional community for Lutheran ministers and candidates, who publicly identify as queer.” Bishop Rohrer was installed three months ago as leader of the church’s Sierra Pacific Synod. ELM said Bishop Rohrer exhibited “an existing pattern of behavior” that doesn’t fit with its goal

Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic—and 11 months and a day since he took office—President Biden insisted, “I don’t think anybody anticipated” the dramatic surge in the more infectious Omicron variant amid criticism of his response as lagging. “It all started all of a sudden,” Biden claimed Tuesday when pressed by reporters on his administration’s sluggish response to nationwide coronavirus testing shortages. But moments later, Biden contradicted that claim, saying he did foresee the looming test shortage and that he had been working on a still-vague plan to distribute 500 million rapid tests to Americans by mail. “I knew that was coming,” he followed up

President Biden said Tuesday he will purchase half a billion rapid coronavirus tests that Americans can order for free delivery to their homes, deploy the military to overwhelmed hospitals and stand up federal testing sites as he scrambles to rein in an omicron variant that’s become dominant and exhausting Americans who wanted a relaxing Christmas. Mr. Biden said several testing sites would debut in New York City before the holiday but the website offering at-home tests won’t be available until January, as Americans find bare pharmacy shelves ahead of holiday gatherings. “Bottom line is it’s a lot better than it was,” Mr. Biden said, later dismissing the idea he failed

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot pleaded with Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to send Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents to the city for six months after the city reaches a 25-year high in the number of murders. The woke mayor announced at a news conference in Garfield Park on Monday that she made a formal request to Garland to send ATF agents to Chicago for six months, a well as more federal prosecutors and federal marshals to help get illegal guns off the streets. This comes after the democrat proposed slashing $80 million from the Chicago Police Department budget in 2020 during 'defund the police' protests.

More than half of vaccinated adults who haven’t gotten a COVID-19 booster shot say the omicron threat makes them more likely to go get an extra dose, according to a poll released Tuesday that found the variant is having a smaller impact on unvaccinated persons mulling a first dose. The Kaiser Family Foundation found that 54% of vaccinated adults said the fast-moving strain is pushing them toward getting a booster versus 46% who said it doesn’t have an impact on their decision. “Omicron’s emergence appears to be having a much smaller, but not insignificant, effect on unvaccinated adults,” with 12% of unvaccinated persons saying they are more likely

He also clarified that his Thursday and Friday absences on “First Take” were because he had an endoscopy Thursday morning, though he said he had a fever Thursday evening.

Authorities in Qatar have seized a line of what they called 'un-Islamic' children's toys that feature rainbow patterns similar to LGBT flags. The small oil-rich peninsular will host next year's football World Cup, and despite repeated assertions by authorities that anyone will be welcome to visit for the tournament, homosexuality remains illegal in the conservative Muslim emirate. The line of rainbow coloured children's toys were confiscated from stores, with officials saying they were contrary to 'Islamic values'. The emirate's commerce and industry ministry did not spell out its objection to the rainbow colours, but some of the toys bore a colour scheme very similar to the LGBTQ flag.

The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that fraudulent coronavirus pandemic benefit claims are “nearing $100 billion,” and the agency named its first-ever national coordinator to oversee its investigations. It’s been nearly two years since the virus first slammed into the U.S., and Uncle Sam has spent trillions of dollars on relief, including assistance to businesses, bailout money for state and local governments, and new unemployment benefits.(Snip)At nearly $100 billion, the Secret Service’s estimates of total fraud are lower than others have suggested.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) says he regrets his participating in an awards event hosted earlier this month by the Communist Party of America. On Dec. 11, Blumenthal attended an awards ceremony hosted by Communist Party USA affiliate the Connecticut People's World Committee.

If you aren’t white, you may not be able to go way outside. At least, that appears to be the belief of a North Carolina State University professor. KangJae “Jerry” Lee — of the school’s College of Natural Resources — recognizes the racism keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors. Cultural differences, he asserts, can’t explain why there aren’t more black people fishing, hunting, and hiking. Also an insufficient excuse: income disparity. The instructor laments America’s adventure/nature gap, but he’s bulls-eyed the culprit: systemic racism. Wichita’s KAKE recently jawed it up with Jerry on the lack of outdoor equity.
