Can you believe they just offered Carlson 100 million, ownership, board seat, ect? Man I thought you guys said he was gonna fall flat. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaI think you might be wrong here at least as far as I am concerned. I have talked to enough people who fear and hate the "left" so much that they are willing to do ANYTHING for the cause. I predicted that he will now become a "Joe Rogan" making millions of dollars. Yes send Tucker money

Its not what I believe its called the truth, the funny thing is you know better and refuse to be honest. Still can't answer the very direct and easy questions. You don't seek common ground, you're a hypocrite that has had the light turned on you, try to do better for the species as you would pretend to wantI know that you can't handle the truth, don't want to know the truth and don't care about the truth. Why? Because you hate people. You have admitted it so many times. So yes I am a hypocrite with trying to seek common ground with you. I think you are a lost cause and there is no common ground. I gave you so many opportunities already to allow you to reflect on your behaviors in this forum. Challenged you to think about your family before yourself. You "can't handle the truth" and I am sorry about. I believe in Truth and Justice and I am absolutely sure now that it is under attack by your group of followers of trump or trump like politicians. By the way I have heard trump say in a convention that he IS a politician and formed his own political pac. Hypocrite. There are millions and millions of people like me who hear and see the destructive behavior coming from your group. It will be a long fight and struggle for Truth and Justice but the human race will eventually get it right. America will lead this cause and we will fight with the same conviction of our founders. When I say founders I am talking about all race and gender that supported the founding of this GREAT COUNTRY. The South had better generals. The North had more man power. America will accept and adapt to a changing world. You and I may not be around to see it but it will happen. We are already seeing it. Your group will eventually figure it out. That is my hope

Like most of their saber rattling bullshit they've passed this legislative session it'll likely be squashed in the Federal courts.I can remember when republicans supported allowing parents to make the decision not to comply with mandatory life saving vaccinations for their kids.

I remember in the past you really defended them and were seemingly on the fence. You've moved away from them. I'm just curious if they have slid down the steep slope toward unreasonable thinking and behavior or is it you who has changed? Maybe both? Perhaps you are using your reasoning and observations skills to see that the GOP is a big problem for American democracy?Never been on the fence. I am like the post holding up the fence. I know their are two sides but both sides need that post. I live and learn. What I have learned is that both sides are nothing without that post. I am a moderate. I know I must change to be better than the previous generation. I also believe that the so called left pushes too hard for change because human beings need time for change. I understand why they push so hard and I believe it is a just cause however human beings have negative emotions like fear, anger and hatred and it affects all of us. Many of us keep to ourself and we like it that way. These people believe that since they are not hurting anyone then why can't they be left along. That lack of exposure to all of humanity will always cause us to have fear and resistance to change. It is human nature not evil. I do not see the evil in moderate liberal ideology or moderate conservative ideology but I do see extremism as evil because evil has only one purpose which is destruction. I vote for whichever candidate can best represent me, my family and those that struggle in a social and economic system that oppresses them. So yes I had to move away from the so called right wing zealots and extremist to protect my values. I would have to move away from the left wing extremists if they become destructive but so far I do not see that happening. I am just a post. Kind of like a stump but easier to move

One day your going to turn on your tv and there will be a lawyer talking about a massive class action suit for those that felt they were forced to take a rushed vaccine due to whatever medical issue it’s causing. Hope I’m wrong but fear I’m right. What was the percentage of healthy kids that dues from Covid? Why are all these super healthy athletes dying during practice and games? Maybe it’s a coincidence.

“The number of immigrant families apprehended by U.S. agents along the southern border nearly tripled in February from a month earlier to about 19,000 people. Hunger and poverty are spurring their flight. So is disinformation that has rocketed across social media and by word of mouth that the U.S. border is now wide open”

The stats don’t lie. The only ones at risk were the old and sickly. Mathematically the other groups didn’t move the needle.Facts matter. Science, vaccines and basic public health measures made a difference for lowering infection rates and deaths in certain communities and states. Significantly. Here is just one of many reports on research and analysis. Reading is an essential skill. Antivax is ridiculous. If you had listened to scientists from the US and all over the world you would know that the vaccine had been under development for many years with the technology in place. An amazing collaborative achievement but also very intensive, furthering the advancement of vaccines and medicine in all areas.
"The United States has the dubious distinction of suffering the highest COVID-19 mortality rate among the world’s high-income countries. But that national average — 372 deaths per 100,000 people as of last summer — hides the fact that pandemic outcomes differed greatly from state to state.
In a comparison that controlled for demographic differences between states, Arizona’s COVID-19 mortality rate of 581 deaths per 100,000 residents was almost four times higher than Hawaii’s, where there were 147 deaths per 100,000 residents. Death rates in the hardest-hit U.S. states resembled those of countries with no healthcare infrastructure whatever. States that fared best had rates on a par with countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, which worked zealously to keep their pandemic death tolls low... "

I don't think comparing Arizona to Hawaii is very fair. Hawaii had the unique distinction of being able to 100% stop anyone from traveling in/out whereas that was not the case for the remaining 49 states. Otherwise we're in agreement.
SoWal Guide
Not to Lou and his ilk.The political games employed during a worldwide pandemic was the most devastating thing I've ever seen in my lifetime. Proof that disinformation is deadly and destructive to the lives of so many people. It is as UNAmerican as it gets. How many Americans died needlessly? The pandemic exposed many problems in our country from corporate greed and inadequate supply chains to poor health care resources and much more. It also exposed public health officials, teachers, nurses and doctors, front line workers and others to threats and immediate danger from people who used disinformation to further "freedom". Many people are to blame for the unnecessary political drama and US death rates from trump to Fox, as well as right wing leaders and their media.

But they also had a very good response in place for the duration. I know some people who traveled there more than once during the pandemic who were allowed in as long as they met criteria.

An amazing collaborative achievement but also very intensive, furthering the advancement of vaccines and medicine in all areas.Yes in the rural area I grew up in North Florida where the majority watch Fox News and then go to church on Sunday they were absolutely devastated by Covid because of refusing to get the vaccine. I am a retired health care provider and it just makes no sense to me. Yes there will always be side effects and that will never change because the human body is so very complex. What is interesting about trump is that he deregulated some of the process to approve the vaccine so that we can save lives then he went in the opposite direction which cost many lives. I think we all know how trump rolls. Science is the best thing we have in healthcare followed by most of the people in health care. Arguing with Science for some political purpose is wrong. I think we all know how Lou rolls

They had a job to do and they got it done. We are going to lose America the same way every great society falls, from within due to internal weakness.

Not really sure what the south had great generals comment was about, the reason the north came down here and kicked your ass was because we were tired of you racist redneck democrats that wanted to own people and we weren't having it
