If you teach in New Jersey, you have to wait to get your vaccine behind....wait for it....
people who smoke!
The medical profession can't be in the business of making moral judgments on patients. If I'm in the ER with my hand bleeding and there's a guy with COPD who can't breathe, they're taking him first regardless of his smoking history.
I would like my schoolteacher daughter to be early in line, though, because that protects potentially hundreds of people.
(Green) Bay (Packers),
Bills,
Browns,
Bucs.
No "B" in Los Angeles Rams, in California (the word), or even St. Louis or Missouri. Almost skipped that game altogether.
The Killer "B"s!
It's an opinion, Bambu. Please get outside. It's summer there!!! Enjoy yourself.

Covid-19 Vaccine Leaders Waited Months to Approve Distribution Plans
Holdup left states with little time to develop mass-vaccination plan; U.S. says it needed time for interagency clearance

The article documents squabbles and conflicts between the HHS and CDC. And poor planning by the Feds all around. Trump Admin ineptitude kills.
[as for WSJ, after the paywall dropped, I simply deleted all cookies -- very easy to do on the same page using Chrome -- then reloaded the article. I stopped the loading before it finished, still go a paywall, but simply clicked the X to close that --- boom, full article available for reading]
I posted a pic purporting to be from Jan 5, 2021 of a group led by Rep. Boebert (R-CO) the other day, but it turned out to have been from 2019.
I have some updates for you:
Colorado has some legislators who are none to happy with Rep. Boebert.
https://www.9news.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/letter-to-house-leaders-from-68-colorado-elected-boebert/73-065bcdd4-8512-4006-98cb-ad516fd61c0a
Why?
House Democrats demand a probe into tours of the Capitol Building that were given the day before the attempted coup/assassinations.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democrats-demand-probe-nature-capitol-tours-day-riot/story?id=75231523QuoteThe Democrats who signed the letter collectively contend that the tours being conducted on Jan. 5 "were a noticeable and concerning departure" from procedures put in place as of March 2020 that limit the number of visitors to the Capitol. These tours were so concerning to Democrats that they were reported to the sergeant-at-arms on Jan. 5, they wrote.
Why would they be suspicious? Because COVID-19 caused all tours to be cancelled since July 18th and that had not changed by Jan 5th. No tours at all. So, if there were GOP Reps leading tours on the 5th, then there was a problem.
And more than 30 Representatives saw people in the hallways who would have had no business there:Quote"In the lead up to Jan. 6, what I witnessed was members of the public, people who had no business being in the Capitol during the shutdowns, milling about in the office buildings," Spanberger said. "The way that these individuals would have entered the Capitol in the first place would have been with a member of Congress making that possible.”
Meanwhile, a GOP House leader wants more of an investigation than Pelosi has sought:

The GOP members, some of whom are claimed to have had their activities caught on CCTV, have denied all wrong-doing or tour-leading.
OTOH, 30+ eye witnesses seems like there might be something to it.
Will have to read the whole article to see if that holds water for me. I was thinking Biden might turn out fairly centrist. If that's not the case, then his admin will be more interesting than I'd expected.
It will be good if the xenophobes (I prefer this term to "white people" btw) can clear their heads and see that no one in the administration will be out to defund the police. False slogans are harder to rinse off than true ones.
"Xenophobes" aren't trying to invalidate millions of votes from foreigners.
White supremacists are trying to disenfranchise millions of black voters.
period.
Don't equate white people with white supremacists. It's a really stupid assertion.

Couldn't happen to a nicer group.
