91% less likely to kill those who get infected than the delta strain Omicron Death Rate in South Africa Peaked at 15% of Delta Wave

If you still think Fauci is on the up and up I invite you to review this breakdown of his emails by a LIBERAL. Ryan Grim is a well known liberal journalist who has for years focused on corruption. He worked for the Huffpost and contributed to the Young Turks...hardly a conservative hack.

The study does, but the article doesn't, that was the point. We distill everything into small bytes because people won't take the time to read.

This article is maddening and illustrates why there is so much confusion. Not a dig on you but peel the onion back a bit and watch Facui hijack the result. I might be an internet epidemiologist but I am certainly NOT an expert. That being said, from what I've read about other pandemics the "usual" evolution is for the virus to mutate and become more transmissible and less lethal. That certainly appears to be the case with Omicron as outlined by this study. "Yes, but: While we are seeing early evidence that Omicron is less severe than Delta, and that those infected are less likely to require hospitalization, it's important to note that Omicron continues to be much more transmissible than Delta," Walensky said. Ok, the numbers seem to support these statements. Now the rub - the numbers you show above are great but are not cross-correlated to vaccinated versus unvaccinated, boosted versus non-boosted. All we have is the comment from our dear leader who says - NIAID director Anthony Fauci added that those who are vaccinated and boosted are much less likely to get severe illness from Omicron.

Not so fast...and I would NOT celebrate liberty just yet. Yes they killed the mandate for companies with more than 100 employees but the issue is FAR from settled. If you read the opinion was very narrow and it was not about the mandate as much as it was about the power of OSHA and a kick of the can to Congress to pass a vaccine mandate law. On the same day SCOTUS ruled against Missouri and upheld the mandate for Healthcare workers. There are several cases still working their way up through the lower courts that will likely land on the steps of SCOTUS with the Federal Employee Mandate case being another major decision point.

I don't know what to believe, but when she replied to the question "Sir, I can’t answer that" it sure didn't help. A very simple "Absolutely not" would have ended the discussion and controversy, but she couldn't do that. I know and have worked with a lot of FBI agents, one was my closest friends until he passed away last year, great Americans and extreme professionals. That being said, every group of all-stars has one or two bad apples, including our community. While I certainly don't think it was an institutional effort to encourage people to enter the capitol, sometimes bad apples do things they shouldn't to make their case stronger, it happens far too often with LEOs. There are some questions that people want answered and she the fact that she would not simply answer does not help settle the matter.

The plot thickens and Slife digs in with counter accusations. Isn't that the standard GO TTP, Lie, Deny, Make Counter Accusations. Air Force Accused of Lowering Standards for Elite Unit to Accommodate Female Candidate

You are trying to chaff the question. #1. Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the riot? #2. Did any agents or confidential informants committed crimes of violence on Jan. 6? #3. Did any agents or confidential informants "actively encouraged" crimes of violence on Jan. 6? Those are not methods, those are CRIMES.

Meh...you are dodging the issue or maybe you didn't watch what happened? Of course we want the FBI chasing these idiots back to their caves, but we are still a country of law and some VERY shady shit happened. "How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?" Cruz asked. Sanborn said in response that she could not discuss "the specifics of sources and methods" of the FBI. Ok, valid discussing sources and methods is something we have to protect, although I don't think it was a big secret that the FBI had people in the crowd. HOWEVER: Cruz then broadened his question by asking if any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the riot. "Sir, I can’t answer that" Seriously?!?!?! You think this is a source and method? Cruz then asked if any agents or confidential informants committed crimes of violence on Jan. 6. When he received the same answer, he asked if any agents or confidential informants "actively encouraged" crimes of violence on Jan. 6. "Sir, I can’t answer that." Come on brother, you have to know this is wrong. I am really curious to hear how you think the is a legal method that needs to be protected?

Concur - Leading a crew of 13 across the ocean to employ in dynamic CAS fights inside 25 meters while dodging AAA, MANPADS and avoiding clueless chodes in the stack is WAY different than flying around as Blue 4 making "Twoop", "Bingo", "Leads on Fire" and I'll take the fat one" calls.

He had no choice. I wonder which IG is doing the investigation, the statement made it sound like he directed the IG investigation which keeps it internal to AFSOC and thus his control. Since the accusations surround a sitting three star this should go straight to the AF/IG. Finally, not sure I would classify him as a 40 pound brain. Smart?...At times. Socially awkward...ALWAYS. A political chub gobbler...usually. But definitely not the Smartest guy in the room.

You shouldn't be crucified, but how do you know there isn't more proof? In my very limited experience with AFSOC there is usually at least some truth in frustrated letters like this. I would be willing to bet email or other evidence was provided that is still being held back. The response form the AFSOC/CC is VERY telling...yeah we get it, there is context, but there is no denial of the facts. Again, no denial of the facts. Sadly, this narrative jives with a lot of other things leaking out of AFSOC/HQ. Why did so many senior AFSOC officers leave rather than serve under him? Why did both folks slated to fleet up to WING/CC punch at the same rather than serve under this guy? Why is he pushing the most caustic human ever to wear the uniform to replace him? Did he really classify the entire gunship community as killers without conscious who enjoy killing...and thus they need down time to reflect on themselves? I, like you, know and respect some of the people named. However, if any of the alleged facts related to them is true...there is some serious splainin to do. Seriously, if she was truly offered a Tier 1 position if she would stay, does that pass any sniff test other than a woke agenda? I am sick to my stomach hoping that part is wrong.

The dude that helped invented MRNA Vaccine technology or at least had a lot to do with it), explains the lunacy of what has happened. Big Tech is the devil and there is some serious bullshit taking place with our "masters". https://rumble.com/vrtdku-joe-rogan-jre-1757-robert-malone-covid.html?fbclid=IwAR1uDDwIB0fxwOTjmTDmevf2vYWK2r9KXaChtkQaclnK9JLl26z1g8CpcpA

Sadly, it is only going to get worse.

Just close all the bar so no one will be offended...problem solved.

Whats you address again?

Nothing now, it all fell in the ocean, from my boat, that I don't own.

How much is "deep"? I thought I was a bit overboard with 10,000 .22, 4000 .45, 5000 9MM and 10,000 .223 until I discovered a friend who purchased 100,000 .223 just as the Pandemic was starting. I am a much better shot than him so I guess I always have a back up stash if things go way south. 🙂

I'll give you a slightly different take. Is he a douche, yes. Were the people that shouted things at Trump in official settings douches, yes. Was Rep Joe Wilson a douche when he shouted at Obama during the State of The Union, yes. However, there is an underlying principle of the Constitution that separates us from every other country, the First Amendment. Events like these rub against common courtesy and decency, they can be sicking to hear, and they often make people like me mad, but they are absolutely protected free speech and we should embrace that no matter much we dislike it. Think about it, in other countries you would be sent to the Gulag, poisoned, or simply disappear. The First Amendment is powerful, and first for a reason. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Our country is very divided at the moment, but not as divided as we have been in the past when politicians used to duel or the ultimate disagreement when we found a civil war and killed 2.5% of the American population. Free speech isn't free only when you agree with what the other person is saying...tolerance is a tough pill to swallow at times, but it is a necessity in our system and it may be the tool that brings us back together, or close enough we can get things done in the middle. Brother I feel your anger, I've been upset when people say things that I think are moronic on this forum. I've lost my temper and replied in anger, but at the end of the day I circle back to everyone in this country having the right to believe what they want. Your statement above is the best approach to dealing with such douches, but remember, in this great country they do have the right to be a douche. Just my .02

So much nonsense with this post. First, by nature of being office people are going to say some nasty things about you, par for the course. I think the issue many had was just how far the negative stuff against Trump went. I know some horrible things were said about Obama but I don't recall any pictures of famous people holding his severed head. Regardless, when did the mods stop people from saying negative things about Trump? Second, warning military members is completely valid. Volunteering to serve means you surrender some of you basic rights as an American including parts of the 1st Amendment. The perceived anonymity of the internet some times causes people to skirt the line and thus the legality of their service. Third, and most importantly, a large portion of the mods are no longer in the service and have the full protection of the Constitution to say things like F*** Joe Biden. Trump is a horrible human but in my opinion as a President he did a FAR better job than Biden. He endured a full onslaught form the mainstream media, the same media that is holding up this empty meatbag of President Brandon.

Jill Biden has to know but she denied he is mentally deficient in her riveting CBS interview. They are holding this guy up with puppet strings. Absolute confusion on his face. Father uses vulgar insult during holiday call with President Joe Biden "Biden responded by repeating the phrase. "Let's go, Brandon," he said. "I agree."
