Romney urges sweeping vaccine plan as U.S. surpasses 20 million COVID-19 cases
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senator Mitt Romney on Friday urged the U.S. government to immediately enlist veterinarians, combat medics and others in an all-out national campaign to administer coronavirus vaccinations and slow a surging rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
I don't wanna hear about Romney's "urges"

#1  Have said and will continue to say ....

Why is the CDC and the Media rolling over the C-19 Flu Virus count. Season #1 Peak on April 18th and declined until Oct. 10th when Season #2 started due to Bumps/increases due a FLU Season Climate starting, coupled with Labor-day, Halloween, Elections, T-day, holiday travel, some sports and Christmas events.

CDC TABLE 1 DEATH COUNT

YOU BE THE JUDGE.

NOTE:
The CD's own website data tells us the USA has a Normal daily mortality rate of 7,708 deaths each day in the USA. 7708 daily avg. X 365 days = 2,813,420 US typical Mortality per 2020 year.

The above CDC Table 1 last updated DEC 31, 2020 tell us that 2,913,144 died from all causes in 2020?


2,913,144 - 2,813,420 = 99,724 more than usual deaths. So the overall chances of DYING from the C-19 in the USA with a population of 342M increased by: 0.029159064327485378 of 1%

#2  The real conservative message should be: The government not only didn't prevent this, they abetted it. The lockdowns and vaccine kabuki are not mitigating it. Stop listening to the magician's patter and watch what he's doing with his hands.

#3  Romney is so out of touch he's pitiful.
I have some first hand experience on the problems rolling the vaccines out. 12/23 my sister's assisted facility and CVS got together to organize a rapid rollout of the vaccine at her facility. Admin. sent all interested (patients, family, health care POAs) a missive saying that a special consent form had to be signed before the shots could be given, and that the forms were attached to the missive. The forms were not attached, however. Admin. took a long Christmas holiday.
12/28 Admin. was back at work, and got many msgs about the lack of the forms. Admin. sent a 2nd missive, saying the forms would be sent out shortly. By 1/2 the forms have still not been received.
Now the vaccine material has been sitting on the shelves or wherever they sit, still at CVS, still no forms finished. 10 days and nothing to show for it. The necessity for the forms has been known for over a month.
Very similar SNAFUs have been happening all over the USA. Vaccine material distributed before Christmas Eve has not been used, because HOLIDAYS and bureaucratic inertia.
If the USA had fought WWII the way it's fighting COVID, we would have lost the war.

#4  NN2N1 CDC mortality stats are a lagging indicator. It will probably be February before a reasonably valid total death count for 2020 is known.

#5  I saw this on Facebook yesterday:
I saw this notice on the website of a major hospital today:
COVID-19 testing site:
Hours of operation:
Standard Hours:
Monday—Friday: 8 am–6 pm
Saturday: 8 am-6 pm
12/31/20 – 8 am - 12 noon
1/1//21 – Closed
-------------
Am I the only one who sees a profound lack of seriousness in this scheduling? Be aware the new vaccines are being scheduled in the same manner.

#6  Like some female person of the progessive democrat variety often quoted said "at this point, what difference at this point does it make?"

50% of the medical people, who presumably have knowledge about medicine, are refusing to get the 2 shots.

This guy is a politician, what does he know, Zip.

I'm not Mikey, "give it to mikey he'll eat anything" and you can keep your Gates Plan too.

#7  Just a friendly remember - Romney gave us the precursor to Obamacare when he signed off on Mass.' health care 'reform', also called Romneycare.

Democrats Have Objected to Electoral Vote Certification For the Last 3 GOP Presidents
[PJMedia] Democrats are outraged that Republicans are planning on objecting to the certification of electoral votes. It’s "conspiracy and fantasy," says Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.07573 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
"The effort by the sitting President of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic," the New York Democrat said. "The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting."

"This is America. We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason—not conspiracy and fantasy," he added.

There’s only one problem with Chucky’s "argument based on fact and reason." Democrats have been challenging the electoral vote certification for 2 decades.

The last three times a Republican has been elected president — Trump in 2016 and George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 — Democrats in the House have brought objections to the electoral votes in states the GOP nominee won. In early 2005 specifically, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., along with Rep. Stephanie Tubbs, D-Ohio, objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio.

In fact, the Ohio electoral vote challenge was only the beginning. Rumors and conspiracy theories swirled around the outcome on election night that saw Bush winning Ohio by a close, but the surprisingly comfortable margin of 120,000 votes. So why are so many of these headlines familiar to us today?

Mother Jones: “Recounting the Election: Was Ohio stolen?”

New York Times:“Glitch Found in Ohio Counting”

They even included some voting machine controversies.

National Election Defense Coalition: “PARTISAN TECHNOLOGY FIRM IS IMPLICATED IN JOHN KERRY’S IMPLAUSIBLE LOSS IN OHIO 2004

NBC News: “Machine Glitch Gave Bush Extra Ohio Votes”

Red State has more here.

Pallets of Fake Ballots in Georgia's Fulton County Were Identified, Filmed and Sampled Before Moving Trucks Picked Them Up and Shredded Them
Another source revealing stash of blank ballots and destruction after Georgia legislative committee authorized examination of ballots. Yesterday: Jovan Pulitzer ‐ Fulton County began shredding (evidence) ballots yesterday ‐ 4 hours after I was asked to inspect them
[GatewayPundit] The counterfeit Fulton County Georgia ballots recorded in the 2020 election were identified before the corrupt gang of Georgia officials picked them up and shredded them. Samples were also taken.

The Georgia election gang has some major explaining to do.

Patrick Byrne, Founder of Overstock.com and now member of the Trump team who is attempting to prove the massive fraud across the country released some shocking news moments ago in a series of tweets.

In his first tweet Byrnes tweets:

BIG NEWS: COUNTERFEIT FULTON COUNTY GEORGIA BALLOTS. On a tip, our operative entered the Fulton County (Atlanta) Warehouse and took this series of photos: THESE ARE FAKE BALLOTS (note the quantity):

pic.twitter.com/toCAMeoDpD

— Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) January 1, 2021

It should be noted: These photos of the ballots were posted earlier last month from inside the same warehouse.

The rented trucks were filmed pulling up to the warehouse:

Rented Enterprise moving vans pulled up to the warehouse and began loading up. I will post that video promptly.

— Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) January 1, 2021


The video will be in an upcoming post:

The video of the enterprise van is too big for me to upload right here. But trust me, there is a video of enterprise moving vans pulling up at 10 o’clock at night, after the Senate subcommittee voted to investigate the stuff, and they got loaded up.

#1  Typical leftists - silence the opposition rather than counter their arguments with reason and facts. And treat them as enemies instead of opponents.

This is recipe for leftists and jihadists. And a recipe for violent civil war.

"My weight has gone as high as 243 lbs., the baseline of the weight-loss program I undertook in 2012, which got me down to 136… I'm not sure where I am now but 200 would be a good guess." Daily KOS

-PC Follies
Montage: The 20 Most Mortifying Media Moments of 2020
[Grabien] In the year everything went to sh*t, America's media was already positioned for action. Rather than riding athwart the troubled waters of America in 2020, offering a beacon of accurate, intrepidly researched reporting to help guide the country, the biggest names in media time and again chose instead to abuse their positions, advancing narrow political interests in lieu of valuable, fact-checked information.

If there’s a theme to this year’s edition, it’s the mainstreaming of gaslighting. Time and again news consumers were told that what they were seeing meant the opposite of what it clearly did (see, for example, #s 15 and 14).

Our normal custom with the Most Mortifying Media Moments series is to summarize the 10 worst moments of the year. But 2020 being 2020, this year we’re doubling it up so that we can hereby present … 2020’s 20 Most Mortifying Media Moments.
The explanations can be seen at the link, but here are the headings:
20 - Media Mourn Death of Iranian Terror Leader
19 - Media Pretend Impeachment Is Historically Historic History
18 - Mara Gay & Brian Williams Can’t Math
17 - Media Downplay Covid
16 - Media Overhype Covid
15 - Peaceful Protests = Violent
14 - Violent Protests = Peaceful
13 - Bubba’s ‘Noose’
12 - The Worst Broadcasting Blooper Ever
11 - Media: Trump Will Use the Military to Steal the Election
10 - Media: Let's Topple Mt. Rushmore
9 - Chris Matthews: All Blacks Look Alike
8 - Chris Cuomo
7 - Mika Meltdown
6 - A USPS Conspiracy So Vast …
5 - Media: Why Do We Need this So Called Constitution Anyway?
4 - Biden Bus B.S.
3 - Media Drag Biden Across the Finish Line
2 - Media Issue Blockade on Damning Hunter Biden Scoop
1. Media Weep in Ecstasy After Their Man Wins
