Gov. Tim Walz has tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced Tuesday. According to the governor, his son and wife also tested positive. (snip) "Yesterday, my 9th grade son tested positive for COVID-19. Gwen and I were both tested that same day, and after initially testing negative yesterday morning, last night we received positive COVID-19 tests. "Thankfully, my son has mild symptoms and Gwen and I have no symptoms. My son is vaccinated, and Gwen and I are vaccinated and have received our booster shots, and I am confident that these vaccines are protecting my family and me from serious illness.

Comments:

If none of them had any major symptoms, why are they being tested? The son had mild symptoms. The governor and his wife, none. Get a sniffle, everyone gets tests, and voila, COVID positive. Not trusting these tests

More proof that folks who have had The Shots can get infected and pass it on. So, perfect example of why it makes ZERO sense to worry about who has or has not had The Shot. It's not a vaccination, it's a shot....that sometimes will kill you.

Honk honk; here's the clown car again. Despite being fully vaccinated, as usual, and also as usual the vaxx suckers say, with zero evidence, that they'd have been far sicker without the shots, even though this amounts to a common cold.

My youngest decided Hawaii was a good place to be married- and it was.: but the stress of waiting covid test results- the stress of grown kids in other states making it.. having to show negative test results- ugggh.. everything was beautiful- but .. I am still recovering from stress.. some places require vaccine proof- my husband- and the bride and groom refuse to get the vaccine. We have all had covid, understand natural immunity- and distrust the pharma..

Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) opposition to the Build Back Better reconciliation bill is “an example of Joe Manchin, as a white man, showing that he doesn’t care about black people, he doesn’t care about Latinos, he doesn’t care about immigrants, he doesn’t care about women, and he doesn’t care about the poor.” Bowman said Manchin and his “special interests, his donors, and lobbyists were cutting the bill for several months. Because they did not want this bill to pass. Why? Because this bill disproportionately supports people of color. It supports people of color. It supports women.

The accepted wisdom amongst conservatives is that Joe Biden is a demented buffoon who is under the control of a leftist cabal in the White House, the individual members of which are unknown. However, Don Surber, who is one of the conservative blogosphere’s most astute political writers, has a different theory. He thinks that Biden is a savvy political operative as evidenced by a successful political career that has spanned almost 50 years. (snip) "Voters and pundits misread Biden. They thought they were getting a harmless and befuddled old man (snip) He knows how to stage and frame his presidency."

The other day, in an interview with NBC News, Hillary Clinton went public with a warning -- or was it a dog whistle to Democrats and the left? It might be an instance of Hillary’s mouth running ahead of her brain, but don’t count on it. Hillary is a coldly calculating woman -- and that might be one of her better qualities. Hillary suggested that if Trump or “someone of his ilk” is elected president in 2024, then American democracy is kaput. Foolishness? Knowing the conceits and delusions that infect her intended audience, her suggestion might not seem ludicrous.

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. The lawmaker gave out three certificates from the Senate to winners of the "Amistad Award," honoring labor and social justice activism. Blumenthal used the opportunity to promote the now-seemingly dead Build Back Better Act, as well as the Democratic party's efforts to pass elections legislation.

President Joe Biden blamed alternative media sources on Tuesday for convincing Americans to refuse the coronavirus vaccines. “The unvaccinated are responsible for their own choices, but those choices have been fueled by dangerous misinformation on cable tv and social media,” Biden said. The president spoke about the spike in coronavirus cases as a result of the omicron variant of the virus, and repeatedly urged Americans to get vaccinated. He criticized media figures and influencers for “peddling lies” to make money off of their audience, which he argued endangered their lives. “It’s wrong. It’s immoral. I call on the purveyors of these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it now!”

Less than one year since he assumed office, Joe Biden has managed to turn his presidency into a deeply unpopular monarchy. No longer is he the genial but generally harmless buffoon who entertained most of us while he was in Congress with his mispronunciations, misquotes, and embellished tales of dubious authenticity. As a result of the 2020 presidential election that was, at best, questionable, Biden was elevated well past his ability, and he proceeded to wreck virtually everything he touched as leader of the free world. On his first day in office, via executive order, Biden closed the Keystone pipeline for no other reason
