BamaJeepsterWe need to see more of this nationwide:
Story here:
https://knst.iheart.com/featur...to-end-mask-mandate/Vail School Board Flees, Parents Elect New Board, Vote To End Mask MandateHundreds of parents showed up to the Vail School Board meeting to demand the board make masks optional. The board didn't want to hear it so they walked out of the meeting before it even began. So the parents, under Robert's Rules of Order, voted in a new school board. Then, the new members voted to end the mask requirement in Vail Schools. The old school board members revealed exactly who they are and that includes GOP LD 10 Chairman, Chris King.
Video at the link.

p226gsdToday, our benevolent Overlord (Gov Cooper of NC) lifted the outside mask mandate (Outdoor mask mandate…? Didn’t even know that was a thing) for all vaccinated people. He also stated that he would Not consider lifting the indoor mask mandate until at least two thirds of all NC residents are vaccinated. Two thirds….. will this nonsense ever cease?

Based on a recent article I just saw posted - Pfizer may be going back to the drawing board on their Covid vaccine.

"That CDC guidance really did a number in DC, I'd say it's about 50\50 now with mask wearers outdoors. Said another way, half the residents of DC are still dimwits."

Apparently things have gone from bad to terrifying there, with issues like:
(1) Inadequate supplies of medical grade oxygen in compressed gas cylinders;
(2) A huge shortage of available hospital beds; and
(3) A massive shortfall in ICU bed availability.

This shit is no joke right now. We've lost healthy 30'something year old team members that we talked to just last week. It's bad.

Hell, I'd never put that on my truck! I have an American Flag sticker in the back window, and a USMC license plate on the front bumper, and they're probably more than enough reason for liberals to vandalise it.

chellim1Whitmer Makes Michigan First State To Tie Reopening To Vaccination Rates
Despite the federal government's assurances that it wouldn't require individuals to accept the COVID-19 vaccine with the force of law, states, cities and the private sector are finding new ways to "incentivize" vaccination, especially as waning demand is leaving states with growing piles of unwanted COVID-19 jabs - and the Biden Administration with egg on its face.
And while NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio was announcing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" (a show which we didn't realize was essential viewing for his 9 million constituents) that he plans to "fully reopen" NYC on July 1, moving to take full credit for the city's return, presumably to spite his archrival, NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was detailing a new plan to tie the pace of MIchigan's reopening to vaccination levels.
The "MI Vacc to Normal" plan will begin easing restrictions only after 4.5MM Michiganders (55% of the state's adult population) have received their first dose. That threshold could be reached within the next week and a half, Whitmer said, but residents and business owners will still need to wait an additional two weeks after the threshold is reached for any loosening of restrictions.
"The MI Vacc to Normal challenge outlines steps we can take to emerge from this pandemic as we hit our vaccination targets together," Whitmer said. "On our path to vaccinating 70% of Michiganders 16 and up, we can take steps to gradually get back to normal while keeping people safe. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to rise to the challenge and be a part of the solution so we can continue our economic recovery and have the summer we all crave."
The second step starts two weeks after 4.9MM residents, or 60% of the adult population, receive their first dose. The administration will increase capacity limits on stadiums, gyms and banquet centers and lift the current curfew on bars and restaurants, Detroit News reported.
The third step comes two weeks after 5.3MM residents, or 65% of the adult population, gets their first dose. The administration will lift all indoor capacity requirements and relax restrictions on residential social gatherings. The fourth and final phase will begin two weeks after the 5.7MM-resident threshold, representing 70% of the adult population (roughly the level at which vaccine-induced "herd immunity" is expected to kick in), gets their first dose. Then, the state will lift its restrictions on gatherings and face mask-wearing.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Why hasn’t she been impeached or recalled yet?

PASigRegarding India:
I’m reading about two things that occurred before this huge spike in Covid deaths, both right around February 1:
1. WHO told India to stop using Ivermectin and they stopped
2. India started Covid vaccinations
