I would be a Secret Santa

Every year, I see a story about secret Santa, and I think, if I had.

Fox News Christmas Tree Catches Fire in Manhattan

A 50-foot-tall Christmas tree caught fire outside the Fox News headquarters in New York City early on Wednesday, prompting a race to extinguish it and leading to one arrest.

The tree had been ceremonially lit in the network’s “All-American” Christmas special on Sunday. One of the network’s hosts announced the fire in a live broadcast.

“This is the Fox Square in New York, outside of Fox headquarters,” the host, Shannon Bream, told viewers shortly after midnight. “It appears that our giant Christmas tree there,

Today's encounter with idiots.

Standing in line at the pharmacy this morning.
I was there to get my booster shot, he was just being an asshole.

I am standing at the front of the line that I had just spent 20 minutes in when this idiot asks if this is the line for the pharmacy.

Yes sir, it forms back there.
He informs me that he is not waiting in any damn line.

I looked at him and said, sir, the Peparation H is in the next isle over.

He had guts enough to call me an asshole and when the next pharmacist wa available he just stepped right up.

Fauci just put a dig on Ted Cruz that should burn deep.

He called out Cruz for his involvement in January 6th on Face The Nation

BAM!

DR. FAUCI: I dealt with it by focusing on what my job is from the time that I went into medicine to right now, where I am at my age, my job has been totally focused on doing what I can with the talents and the influence I had to make scientific advances to protect the health of the American public. So anybody who spins lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Paul's and all that other nonsense, that's noise, MARGARET, that's noise. I know what my job is.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator Cruz told the attorney general you should be prosecuted.

DR. FAUCI: Yeah. I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, senator?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you think that this is about making you a scapegoat to deflect--

DR. FAUCI: Of course-

MARGARET BRENNAN: --From President Trump?

DR. FAUCI: Of course, you have to be asleep not to figure that one out.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, there are a lot of Republican senators taking aim at this. I mean--

DR. FAUCI: That's OK, I'm just going to do my job and I'm going to be saving lives and they're going to be lying.

This is disgusting "South Carolina governor accuses health experts of 'hyperbole'"

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Sunday accused health experts of "hyperbole" and "exaggeration" in regards to the current COVID-19 surge brought on by the more infectious delta variant.

During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, McMaster affirmed to guest host Dana Perino that he would not be enacting a statewide mask mandate and when it came to vaccinations the governor said he would let residents "make their decision" based on information provided to them.

Perino noted that South Carolina has recently seen increases in the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, with cases rising by over 250 percent and hospitalizations rising by more than 120 percent.

What do you think when you see a truck with flying flags and signs on the tailgate

First thought before you can actually read the signs?

Mine was oh damn, a trumpkin.

I was so pleasantly surprised today when at first, I was approaching an old truck with two large flags on poles on the back and a sign which I couldn’t read.

I was in an Atlanta Georgia neighborhood.

As I came up behind the truck, I groaned expecting idiocy, then I read the signs, wow, my mood flipped!

“Get your vaccination so we can all be free from the virus”

Also saw a Stacy Abrahams sticker!

Great guys cruising down the street.
I wish I could have gotten a picture.

Just blew the mind of a phone survey caller. Critical Race, transgender and anti-zvaxer medical prof

The caller asked me what I thought about hospitals firing people if they refused to get vaccinated.

Let him have an ear full on that. Wanted to know why I didn't support a law to protect those who don't get vaccinated.

Then he moved on to critical race where he asked why I support teaching it. I told him we should be teaching our kids everything then teach them how to think not what to think.

He wanted to know if I would support a law to ban transgender people from using their "chosen" restrooms. I said where are they suppose to go.

He asked me if I was a conservative or progressive. I said does your chart have bleeding heart liberal.

He was quick to get rid of me at that point.

Holy $#!+ Graham: 'I accept the results of the election'

The end of the world must be near


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he accepts the results of the 2020 election, and urged Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, to focus on the upcoming midterm where the party wants to win back control of Congress.

"I accept the results of the election. ... 2020 is over to me, I'm ready to march on and hopefully take back the House and the Senate in 2022," Graham told reporters in South Carolina.

Help me out here: mask effectiveness against Covid

Before you alert because I am peddling right wing talking points, please read!

I need help countering a right wing talking point.

I had three people I work with, all who never wear a mask try and tell me a new report claims masks are not affective. Yes, they are all trump followers.

My response was what right wing site is touting this. No response. I only found one on a quick google search and it definitely right wing.

So, how many here have had right wingers shouting this?

I am only going to stop wearing a mask when Dr Fauci says I can.
They admitted that flue season was far less severe than normal, but still they believe what they want regardless of facts.

Rant off
