Jesse Jackson moved to rehab, wife Jacqueline to ICU in COVID treatment
[NYPOST] The Rev. Jesse Jackson has been moved to a physical rehabilitation center, while his wife Jacqueline was transferred to the intensive care unit at the hospital where the two were undergoing treatment for COVID-19.

The 79-year-old political activist and minister and his 77-year-old wife were admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
last weekend.

Family members said in a statement Friday that Jacqueline Jackson was moved to the ICU and was receiving oxygen, but breathing on her own.

The statement said that Jesse Jackson’s coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
symptoms were subsiding, and that a hospital focused on physical rehabilitation due to his Parkinson’s disease.

"As his COVID-19 symptoms abate, his Parkinson’s has become more in focus. Therefore, he has been transferred to The Shirley Ryan Ability Lab where he will immediately begin intensive occupational and physical therapy," said a statement from Jonathan Jackson, through the Rainbow Push Coalition.

#1  According to News & Political PR reports.
Jesse & his wife were vaccinated back in Jan/Feb 2021 time-frame and with great Fanfare. All in a effort to convince other Black Americans to get Vaccinated. Aside from still getting infected after being VAX'd

Well that sure worked for them...
Seriously they are in there 70's and still alive.
I am sure being Political Activist MILLIONAIRES helped a little also.

#2  All that is true but I still hope they make it.

If real Nazis came and started shooting everyone on my block I wouldn't point and giggle when they shot the guy two doors down who didn't cut his lawn enough, and then wait until they're next door to take action.

GOP backlash brewing against Biden as officials call for resignation
[NYPOST] Republicans are vowing to hold President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. On the other hand, he did abandon Afghanistan...
accountable for his handling of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal that has led to the death of at least 13 US servicemembers and over 100 Afghans.

As several GOP members have begun to push for impeachment or resignations, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy

STOP !!!!

Who the hell wants Harris as a President and Pelsoi as a VP?

Leave it the way it is until after the 2022 election.
In the mean time have a State Gov. appoint Trump as a House Of Rep. (HOR)
then hold a 2022 HOR vote to make him speaker of the House.

After 2022, the Senate issues the overdue 25th mental state investigation on Biden. Harris is impeached for handful is well documented issues and action which violated her oath of office.

Trump becomes acting US President, immediately calling for a Special Election.

#5  Pelosi will never give up as House Speaker. She has way more power there. She won't play second fiddle to Kamala

#9  Ref #8: Yes, just in time for the AFG media blackout. Billions in FEMA dollars are being palletized as we speak.

#10  Now the Socialists/Marxists and their Woke Generals can focus on disarming Americans. The CDC just announced a plan to tackle the gun epidemic.

#11  Kabuki theater. Still going to cross the aisle to indenture future generations on that multi-trillion dollar looting of the treasury for special interests.

#12  GOP backlash brewing against Biden as officials call for resignation

Is Romney leading the charge? The backlash would be as limp as my hogan after ten lines of coke.

#13  The Big Guy blew it badly. The effects will linger for a long, long time. I suspect Barry Soetoro had large role in this debacle.

#15  My wife suggested Michelle Obama as VP.
Kamala would be a fool to allow that.

#16  Almost as bad as nominating Hillary Clinton as V.P.
We'll have the first Presidential suicide.
