Do you remember 2011 Obama's Corres. Dinner the night before Osama Bin Laden

was finally killed? I was so impressed that he was somehow able to not only keep it a secret but he was able to tell jokes about tRump and birtherism like a true comedian. The next day he announced Bin Laden was dead and tRump's Celebrity Apprentice was pre-empted so that Obama could deliver the news.

He is one smooth POTUS.

How do we get Fux News viewers to see the Jan 6 hearings?

During Nixon's hearings there were 3 or 4 TV stations and they showed the hearings and Americans were able to see the whole picture. Since Fux won't even show the hearings how do we get GOP viewers now?

"Protection against infection offered by fourth Covid-19 vaccine dose wanes quickly, Israeli study finds"

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/05/health/israel-fourth-dose-study/index.html#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16492801940818&csi=1&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2022%2F04%2F05%2Fhealth%2Fisrael-fourth-dose-study%2Findex.html

"A fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine seems to offer short-lived protection against infection overall, but protection against severe illness did not wane for at least several weeks, according to a new study."

"Overall, these analyses provide evidence for the effectiveness of a fourth vaccine dose against severe illness caused by Omicron variant as compared with a third dose administered more than four months later," the study says."

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
