Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a "Fraud" and a "Phony"

This, according to the Orlando Sentinel while the Miami Herald reports this loser is descending into 'anti-vaxx Crazyville.' Any way you want to look at it, the state of Florida under Gov. Ron DeSantis has had 3,695,945 COVID-19 cases resulting in 59,497 deaths. Here's what the Orlando Sentinel's editorial board hadto say...

"Between the start of July and the end of October, about 21,000 people died of COVID in Florida, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Those four deadly, tragic months accounted for one in every three of the total COVID deaths—nearly 60,000 victims — since the pandemic began 20 months ago," the board wrote.

The Sentinel added, "Compare that to California, a warm-weather state with nearly twice the population of Florida and a governor who believes in public health..." The fact is California had just 8,600 deaths compared to Florida"s 21,000 deaths in the same period, quoting Orwell by describing the Sunshine State as dystopian. There's more from this editorial, "Now, the do-nothing governor is trying to claim credit for this surge coming to an end..."

Florida doctor says Gov. DeSantis not responsible for Covid-19 imptovement...

The newspaper steps up its attack with what I call a comparison with the logic of the New York Times bestseller list. During Florida's summer of record coronavirus cases and deaths, a silent Desantis...

"The governor had nearly nothing to say about his state’s lengthy run as No. 1 in the nation in COVID cases, No. 1 in hospitalizations and No. 1 in deaths."

The Orlando Sentinel reports DeSantis "has the gall" to take a "victory lap" with

this release to the media...

“Florida Reaches Lowest Case Rate in the Nation,” trumpeted the headline of a Wednesday news release, which went on to say, “As a result of Governor Ron DeSantis’ leadership and our data-driven approach free of mandates, the State of Florida has one of the lowest COVID-19 daily average case rates in the last 7 days per 100,000 residents in the United States.”

if the above weren't so disgusting, it would be laughable. And DeSantis isn't just deceiving the public on Covid-19, he is a racist reverting to typical radical right tactics preventing the minority vote...

"The University of Florida is prohibiting three professors from providing expert testimony in a lawsuit challenging a new law that critics claim restricts voting rights, saying it goes against the school’s interest by conflicting with the administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis."

 According to the Associated Press, the University is hiding behind the 1st Amendment saying...

“The University of Florida has a long track record of supporting free speech and our faculty’s academic freedom, and we will continue to do so.”

In other words, the despicable DeSantis has won again.

Would You Leave Your Child on the Side of the Road Like This Dog?

 

In some states like California, it is basically illegal to abandon your animal: Penal Code's Section 597 states it's a misdemeanor for an owner of any animal to permit it to be without proper care and attention. Yet people across the country desert their pets when moving, or if they can no longer afford to care for them, or just because they have become tired of them. It's ghastly, inhumane, of course, and these are just a few of the many reasons used to literally dump pets from their forever home.

It is hard to understand how anyone could treat their animal, a family member, like yesterday's trash and just discard them at a whim, with absolutely no regard for their feelings. That's right, animals do have feelings, and some never recover after being deserted on a lonely road in nowhere. The following video is an example...

Anyone who would do something like this borders on purely cruel behavior and should be punished. Fortunately, this little guy was rescued by a shelter but there was still trauma for being abandoned in this way. In my state of Arizona, many animals are left in the desert and their chance of survival is very small. No matter where you are, do the humane thing and take the pet you have decided to give up to a shelter. Everyone will be glad you did.

Animals Deserve Better Than This

 

Animals to Humans: All We Want is to Live...

.

Kerhsaw County, SC deputies were helping a stranded vehicle, when officers kept hearing noises. As they searched the area, they found a crying kitten who had somehow freed itself from a pillowcase, Still in the pillowcase were two puppies. All had been put in the pillowcase & dumped over the bridge! Animal Control headed out in the middle of the night to get these babies & bring them to the shelter. READ MORE...

This sort of thing happens on a daily basis throughout the U.S. where humans treat

their pets or found animals as if their life does not matter. Well, it does! If you aren't an animal lover like the rest of us, at least have the civility to contact animal care authorities.

ANTI-VAXXERS gather this weekend to kill more people

 

In a state that has already experienced over 16,000 deaths from Covid-19, two of its mentally challenged, anti-vaxxing residents have decided to put together a super-spreader event this weekend to celebrate, you guessed it, even more deaths. NPR reports Ty and Charlene Bollinger, known for their position as one of the 12 people...

responsible for the bulk of the misleading claims and outright lies about COVID-19 vaccines that proliferate on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Charlene Bollinger decided, and rightfully so, that Nashville, TN would be the perfect place to hold their "freedom fighting" idiot fest. In the last few years, Tennessee has succumbed to a majority mix of conservative morons who, in 2016, pledged all eleven electoral votes to Donald Trump. This event is called, "The Truth About Cancer," a statement that couldn't be further from the truth. And get this...

The event's lineup will reflect those political views [the Jan 6, Capitol insurrection] and feature Donald Trump's son Eric and longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone.

Joe Biden talks about Anti-Vaccine Protesters ‘Threatening’ Doctors And Nurses In Tennessee

Lisa Fazio, a misinformation researcher with Vanderbilt University says, "People like us, believe these things," which sounds like, if the following is correctly understood, means they just believe in conspiracy theories...

Fazio says some people may show up to this conference for one conspiracy theory and learn about another, giving misinformation the opportunity to cross-pollinate.

It sounds to me like all these people have been cross-pollinated with the moron gene, and, as Fazio adds, "If you're part of this community, you believe the entire pot."

MANCHIN daughter HEATHER BRESCH totally corrupt as father

 

My blog post yesterday portrays a U.S. Senator, Joe Manchin from West Virginia, as the heartless lowlife he is for gutting Joe Biden's Child Tax Credit Program which critically affects the children and families at the poverty level in his state. There are a lot of them but the murky Manchin has chosen to favor his fossil fuel friends and donors and let his constituents suffer. I titled the post, "JOE MANCHIN Throws West Virginia Children UNDER THE BUS," 

If you go there you will see some of the most distressing figures you'll find on child poverty in this country. Yet, Joe Manchin continues to oppose everything in Joe Biden's agenda that is designed to help these Americans. Like the Infrastructure bill, which is a bit hefty and Pres. Biden is now negotiating, but with Manchin still holding a heavy hand. This is not what the left is all about and, apparently, Manchin just recently indicated a possible exit from the Democrats. GOOD!

And here is something even more ludicrous, Manchin's daughter is just as bad with this headline in Jacobin Mag: "Meet Joe Manchin’s Appalling Daughter." Apparently the fruit falls right under the tree in the case of this family...

"As if his own record weren’t bad enough, former coal baron and current West Virginia senator Joe Manchin’s daughter Heather Bresch — who doubles as a major donor to Joe — is a price-gouging drug profiteer who has played a central role in her father’s destructive political career." 

Bresch has a record of success, but, then, so does her father, and look at what he has become. Liza Featherstone, author of this article in Jacobin, adds, "Bresch has had a remarkably horrible impact on society, even by the usual standards of American capitalists." Here's more...

"In the case of West Virginia senator Joe Manchin, however, his daughter’s former job — she was president, top lobbyist, and CEO of Mylan, a drug company — represents such a massive conflict of interest, with implications for policy that are shocking and disqualifying even by normal Washington, DC, standards. She’s not only the senator’s daughter, she’s a major donor."

Watch damning evidence against Joe Manchin’s daughter Heather Bresch...

 You may not agree with the politics of Jacobin, but you cannot deny the truth. The time has come to start identifying these threats to our democracy, and its sources like Jacobin that aren't afraid to publish the facts. All I can say is 'Give us more!' 

JOE MANCHIN Throws West Virginia Children UNDER THE BUS

 

According to a West Virginia state site, there are 14,104 adults and children receiving welfare, 137,000 children receiving food stamps. The child poverty rate is 25%, compared to the overall rate of 16% in the United States. There are 4,200 families receiving childcare subsidies, and 213,023, the number of children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP.

Yet, Joe Manchin wants to cut back drastically on Joe Biden's Child Tax Credit program.

Visit one of the poorest places in America...in West Virginia, of course...

Why do the voters of West Virginia continue to elect this demagogue when it is clear that he doesn't give a damn about his constituents, rather seeks out the power to help his big donors like the Chas. Koch gang?

KYRSTEN SINEMA should go to the Republicans with Joe Manchin

 

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten [the enema] Sinema continues to string along with West Virginia's coal king and Chas. Koch's pocket change, Joe Manchin, to block Pres. Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. Sinema's crusade to try and establish herself as the destroyer of everything Democrat is succeeding as she continues to alienate her base in Arizona. But a liberal polling group, Data For Progress, this month published the following report...

The survey of likely voters for her 2024 Democratic Senate primary showed just 25 percent approval for Sinema's performance in office, as opposed to 85 percent for Arizona's other Democratic senator, Mark Kelly, and President Biden himself. Tellingly, she trailed all four of her hypothetical primary opponents by 29 points or more.

In addition to drinking wine, her other pastime is running, and politically speaking, at this particular time she is headed in the wrong direction. The mock Senator has missed appointments and important meetings for congressional legislation and just recently held her own fundraising get together with industry groups opposed to Biden’s agenda. She might as well have given the President the finger. Sinema loves big pharma, possibly blocking Biden's drug pricing legislation...

Politico and The Daily Poster report that Sinema raised over $1.1 million between July and September, with 90% of the campaign donations coming from outside Arizona. At least $100,000 of those contributions came from individuals or entities linked to the pharmaceutical and financial services industries.

Judy Woodruff at PBS talks to Manchin and Sinema...

Even the Koch gang has recently stepped in to rave about her opposition to taxing the rich, which Chas. Koch definitely is. She's also against increasing taxes on large corporations which is holding up her party's budget reconciliation package. It's hard to find anything Sinema is for on the left side of the aisle, which is prompting calls for the Senate's latest egoist to step across to the other side of the aisle. Might as well considering her voting record.

It has been said that Kyrsten Sinema is attempting to mimick John McCain in his position of maverick Senator. This new kid on the block should realize she comes nowhere close to McCain in any political way I can ascertain. I voted for her, simply because she is a Democrat, or, at least I thought so. Her politics were questionable but we thought she would grow into the job. She didnt! Now it is definitely time to dump this liability as soon as possible.
