Scientists should not be policy makers unless they get elected.

Science isn't a fixed, static thing. People who deal in absolutes have trouble with that concept.

Yep.

Fauci's job is to do research in NIH on infectious diseases. This happened to be a big infection. His boss is

Ask him for an annual report of where your tax money goes. Oh, you are not American. Never mind then.

The dude that has the authority on masks is the Surgeon General. You never had to listen to Fauci. Plus you are Canadian. Find your own dude to harasss.

State senate to decide on teaching the Holocaust in public schools.

the governor may be veto it. No mention of slavery, blacks and Native Americans. No need to teach those. I guess it just makes Germans, white people in Europe, look bad.

The judge being black didn't help things with the Republicans, but I believe them when they say they couldn't honor a man who ruled against official prayer in school.

'Georgia Republican leads GOP revolt against U.S. House bill honoring iconic Black judge'

If there’s one thing that more than two decades of covering state government have taught me, it’s that bills renaming bridges, highways, and public buildings in honor of some famous personage are one of the last preserves of bipartisanship.

Not so for the U.S. House of Representatives, who went full “Hold My Beer” late last month, as nearly all the chamber’s Republicans, including all of Georgia’s eight GOP lawmakers, banded together to kill a bill that would have renamed a federal courthouse in Tallahassee after the Sunshine State’s first Black state Supreme Court justice.

As the New York Times reported Tuesday, the bill honoring Justice Joseph W. Hatchett had the backing of both of Florida’s U.S. senators and all 27 members of its House delegation. For all the world, its approval looked preordained.

The architect of this utterly unfathomable act, according to the Times, was a right-wing, first-term congressman from Georgia, U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde.

Ahead of the March 30 floor vote, Clyde started passing around a 1999 Associated Press story about an appellate court’s ruling striking down a public school policy allowing student-approved prayers at graduation, the Times reported.

“He voted against student-led school prayer in Duval County in 1999,” Clyde, a deacon at his Baptist church near Athens, told The Times. “I don’t agree with that. That’s it. I just let the Republicans know that information on the House floor. I have no idea if they knew that or not.”

The rest of the House GOP fell in line, including at least one Florida Republican House member who had previously supported the bill, the Times reported.

By the way, if Clyde’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the GOP lawmaker who compared the Jan. 6 insurrection to a “normal tourist visit,” the Times noted. Clyde defended his remarks, even though photos showed him barricading a door to keep those harmless tourists at bay, the Washington Post reported.

Clyde also opposed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act, which made lynching a federal hate crime and voted against recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday, according to the Times.

Ultimately, the bill fell on a vote of 238-187, failing to reach the two-thirds threshold needed for passage.

Trumpsters won't defend the US in the army because of....vaccinations:

Dobbs also questioned why people would enlist in Biden's military if they were going to be used as "boots on the ground" in Europe amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine after fighting with a "third world country for two decades" before pulling out "with our tail between our legs."

"Who in his or her right mind would say 'sign me up for that, Sarge?'" Dobbs asked.

In reply, Greene said: "Not my son and I know a lot of young people don't want to have anything to do with that. It's like throwing your life away. Not to mention how they've been forced to take the vaccine and the ones that didn't want to take it have been discharged. Who wants to be treated that way?"

In a tweet, Kinzinger condemned Greene for saying people should be put off enlisting for the military under Biden.

"Just an absolute idiot. Yet still will be praised by people like [House Minority Leader ⁦Kevin McCarthy] because, well, money and speakership," Kinzinger said.
This is not the first time Kinzinger has mocked Greene. In March, the Illinois congressman ridiculed Greene after she mistakenly referred to Biden as the "commander and chief" instead of the correct term for the president's role as head of the country's armed forces, commander in chief.

"I mean seriously, if anyone is going to say 'commander and chief' it's her. She literally has no idea it's commander in chief and I'm zero percent surprised," Kinzinger tweeted.

'Trump-Backed Vernon Jones Says Civil Rights Don't Apply To Gay People Because They "Can Change"'

Donald Trump-endorsed Georgia congressional candidate Vernon Jones said Thursday that civil rights don’t apply to the gay community because he insisted that gay people “can actually change” to become straight.

And if they do that, they also apparently don’t need any civil rights protections, Jones indicated.

“Civil rights for Blacks, and gay rights for gays are two different things,” Jones declared to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast.

“I don’t know what you are unless you tell me what you are if you’re gay. When I walk into that room, you can tell that I’m Black. I’m Black from cradle to grave,” Jones said. “Let’s not get that confused.”

He added: “They can actually change. You know you can go from being straight to being gay to being transgender and all these other genders. When you’re Black, I don’t have a choice. ... When did gays come over here on [slave] ships?”
