"If you're not vaccinated and if you have not had Covid... you're going to get the Delta variant."

"if you're not vaccinated and if you have not had Covid...you're going to get the Delta variant," says the testing czar for former Pres. Trump.

"On average, one person will transmit this to nine people, unlike the original virus, which got transmitted to two or three," he adds.

Customer to me: “Living in fear, huh?”

Me: “Yeah. I work with vulnerable, critically ill, immunocompromised children. So, yeah. I’m afraid of killing a child. Thank you”.

HUH? "RINOs are ruining America, right alongside Communist Democrats."

Former President Trump lashed out at Senate Republicans after the upper chamber voted to take up debate on a bipartisan infrastructure package, accusing Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and “RINOs” for surrendering to Democrats, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Under the weak leadership of Mitch McConnell, Senate Republicans continue to lose. He lost Arizona, he lost Georgia, he ignored Election Fraud and he doesn’t fight.”

He added: “Now he’s giving Democrats everything they want and getting nothing in return. No deal is better than a bad deal. Fight for America, not for special interests and Radical Democrats. RINOs are ruining America, right alongside Communist Democrats.”

Young women can no longer be forced to break themselves for other people's entertainment

“Progress”, in a way: Young women can no longer be forced by the IOC or their coaches to break themselves for other peoples’ entertainment.

TOKYO, July 28 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee has "huge respect and support" for American gymnast Simone Biles, who pulled out of Tuesday's team event at the Tokyo Olympic Games, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said on Wednesday.

Multiple Olympic champion Biles, one of the biggest names at the Games, decided to pull out of her team gymnastics finals, saying mental health was more important than sports.
