WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

If he really feels that way then he should use whatever power/influence he has to get hegseth out of office, by resignation, impeachment, or firing. Trump can end it anytime, if he wants to.

Cool, cool. Lots of reporting that theres a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in Russia, and several hospitals are under forced quarantine. Obviously, it’s Russia, so accurate information is scarce.

Also, Canadian's have made it harder for automobiles assembled in the United States harder to cross the boarder as Canadians are no longer buying them. Imagine having an over 40% market share drop to 28% in just over a year. Most businesses would fire their BOD over these kinds of numbers.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.
