I Think The MAGA Group Will Now Be Getting Vaccinated And They Will Wear Masks Now.....

I was shopping today and waiting in the checkout line when I overheard two masked guys talking about the Omicron variant.

They both were very freaked out by this variant and as they went on talking further - I learned why they were freaked out.

It's because the variant is coming from Africa "and you know the kind of people that are spreading it don't you" - said one to the other. "For that reason and that reason alone - I'm going tomorrow to get vaccinated and I'll be wearing my mask too" - the other guy said.

I surmised that they are freaked out because they feel this variant is spreading from 'black' people (Africans). This is plain racism and was being talked about - out loud - by IMHO two racists right in a checkout line.

I couldn't believe my ears.

Does anyone know if that is what's being talked about on RW and MAGA sites?

Are we going to be seeing vaccination rates going up in the U.S. now?

Is this the latest Qanon conspiracy theory?

Thanksgiving. Can't you just envision them around a Turkey in a quaint home dining room. TFG carving the bird. Melania in an apron. And DTJR & Eric sitting at the kiddies table.

Came Into The Room Where My TV Is And Had To Do A Double Take - I Thought Fallon Was....

interviewing Kyle Rittenhouse. Jeremy Renner was Fallon's guest and though he's older than KRit - he kind of resembles him. Weird!!!!

Have The Repugs Miscalculated And Gotten To Far Out In Front Of Their Skiis Now?....

Just wondering if the Repugs - with all their lying, rigging and gerrymandering - have miscalculated and will face a backlash in the 2022 and 2024 elections?

Non-Tr**p cultist Repugs and Independents aren't blind. They see what is going on. They watched the 1/6 insurrection and saw the truth. They see what Biden has done with respect to the pandemic; the economy and now the infrastructure bill being passed.

They aren't dummies. They know that if the Dems had more control of the House and the Senate that they would reap the benefits of the Dems platform.

Could the Repugs face a backlash in these upcoming elections and actually lose? Will the non-cultist Repugs and Independents come out for the Dems?

Just curious what others think about this.

What Do We Know Of The Upbringing Of Kyle Rittenhouse.....

I couldn't find out anything about KRit's birth, parents, where he lived in his early years, schools he went to (i.e., grammer school, high school), friends he hung with, any interviews of some of his classmates, neighbors, etc.

Everything I've read about him was - that he was a high school dropout, plagued by bullies, enamored with the police - most of the info was post shooting and where he got the gun, how he got to Kenosha, etc.

I really couldn't find out anything of his early years - birth to just before the shooting.

Does anyone have his early life bio's?

If They Ever Do A Movie About Nancy Pelosi I Nominate Dean Martin's Daughter.....

Deana Martin to portray her.

I just watch a 2 hour documentary on Dean Martin where Deana Martin was interviewed and commented about her father Dean. I couldn't get over the remarkable resemblance of Deana Martin to Nancy Pelosi.
