CNN reports, "The surge in Covid-19 cases
fueled by the Delta variant and vaccine hesitancy has now led to increasing rates of hospitalizations and deaths.
More than 97% of people getting hospitalized with Covid-19 now are unvaccinated, and 99.5% of deaths are among the unvaccinated.
At last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., told the crowd: "Don't come knocking on my door with your 'Fauci ouchie.' You leave us the hell alone."
NBC reports, "On vaccinations Boebert's message is not the exception. For a sizable chunk of the Republican Party and conservative media apparatus,
pushing back on the Biden administration’s
efforts to vaccinate the country has become the norm in recent weeks."
The Dow lost 726 points today, and Yahoo Finance concludes,
"Rising concerns about inflation and the resurgence of COVID-19 infections among the unvaccinated walloped Wall Street on Monday, with major benchmarks suffering their worst declines since May."
Congratulations to Tucker Carlson, Fox News, and grassroots Republicans. You have all contributed to slowing down the rapidly expanding Biden economy while causing Americans to lose millions of dollars in their investment portfolios. You must be enormously proud of yourselves.
Politico reports, "A federal judge has handed down the first felony sentence in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, sending Paul Hodgkins, 38, to prison for eight months for obstructing Congress’ effort to tabulate and certify the electoral vote.
Hodgkins marched onto the Senate floor with a Trump flag during the chaotic Capitol takeover. That was all he did plus he pleaded guilty -- meaning no trial, thus the light sentence. He received three years of supervised probation and must pay $2000 in damages to the capitol.
A felon for the rest of his life, eight months in prison, three years of supervision, and a $2000 loss all because he believed in Donald Trump.
What the f**k are Republicans doing? Is this any way to win votes? We will never know. As can be seen, Republicans remain totally silent on the issues
. They are pretty much an intelligent challenged bunch.
So much so, they can't even defend themselves.
