Mass...

 



The Brooklyn Army Terminal will soon become a "mass vaccination site" as the city speeds up its efforts to vaccinate New Yorkers against the coronavirus, the mayor announced.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and health officials unveiled the a new list of sites that will join their plan to double the number of places New Yorkers can get a coronavirus vaccines on Wednesday.

The latest round includes a "mass vaccination site" at the Army Terminal and three smaller "vaccine hubs" that are set to open in Brooklyn in the next week.

The Army Terminal, set to open on Sunday, will be available 24/7 for vaccination appointments for those who qualify, de Blasio said.

The site was shut down 4 days later due to lack of vaccines. An issue very well known ahead of time by all. 

But its about the posing and advertisement. 

Just a thought.

Chasing...

 



US defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, prompting the FBI to vet all 25,000 national guard troops coming into Washington for the event.

The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the insurrection at the US Capitol. 

And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs.

Army secretary Ryan McCarthy said officials were conscious of the potential threat, and warned commanders to be on the lookout for problems within their ranks. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.  [The Guardian]

"The wicked run when no one is chasing them."

Forward...

 



Living in Fear...

 


A House impeachment manager acknowledged on Sunday that one reason for charging President Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection was to prevent the outgoing commander in chief from trying to become president again.

the trial could serve as a referendum on whether Trump should be able to seek federal office again, a decision that could affect his grip on the party and reshape the future of the GOP.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a top Trump ally, challenged Biden to call off Democrats’ pursuit of a conviction. Graham warned that the effort would further divide the country and show that Biden is “an incredibly weak figure.”And to my Republican colleagues in the Senate,” he told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “if we embrace an unconstitutional impeachment of Donald Trump after he’s out of office, it will destroy the party.”

Support...

 


President Donald Trump retains overwhelming support from Republican voters in the final days of his term, an NBC News poll conducted shows.

Nearly nine in 10 Republicans approve of Trump’s job performance, according to the survey, a figure virtually unchanged from just ahead of the November contest. Eighty-nine percent of Republicans said they approved of Trump before the election, compared to 87% in the most recent poll.

The numbers show that Trump continues to have a strong hold on the loyalty of Republican voters even on his way out the door.  

Among Republicans who primarily support Trump, his job approval stands at 98%. For those who primarily support the party, it is 81%.

The more Nancy Pelosi's prosecution of Trump, the more support he will get.

As you look at the Capital today, in preparation for the virtual inauguration on Wed. 1/20/2021, you can imagine the number of troops and service men in the area to protect the Virtual celebration.   Just a thought.

Sooner*...

 





Looks glamorous, ! What's less fun is that women who smoke are on average going to have their heart attacks a whole FifteeN YearS SooneR than non-smoking women. That's a lot of life to lose for glamour!  

Young women are especially vulnerable because they often don’t recognize the signs and symptoms of heart trouble.

Ignorance alone could be responsible for more than 15,000 women who die each year from a heart attack in the U.S, . It could also explain why women under the age of 55 have twice the risk of dying during hospitalization for an acute heart attack of men in the same age group. 

“Chest pain is still the most common symptom of a heart attack,” . "There can be shortness of breath and almost flu-like symptoms including nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting.” Symptoms may start several days or even weeks before a major heart attack. 

Other common heart attack symptoms for women include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. If you have any of these signs, the association urges you not to wait more than five minutes before calling for medical help.
Just a thought.

Unbelievable....

 


Former Florida Department of Health worker, Rebekah Jones is turning herself in to police, after she says an arrest warrant was issued by the state.

For context, Jones helped create the state's COVID-19 dashboard but was ousted last year when Gov. Ron DeSantis accused her of putting data on the portal that the scientists did not believe, not listening to her superiors, and having criminal charges in the state. 

Since then, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement claims Jones got into the Department of Health communications system and sent a text to users of the State Emergency Response Team after she had left her position. Jones has publicly denied such claims.

The text message in question, according to the affidavit for the search warrant provided by the FDLE, was sent Nov. 10 and urged people "to speak up before another 17,000 people are dead. You know this is wrong. You don't have to be part of this. Be a hero. Speak out before it's too late."  


WEAR-TV reports a man told Tallahassee Police that he was a victim of revenge porn by Jones in June 2019. He said he had an injunction against Jones and said she posted a website which included naked pictures of him, and shared it with his place of employment and family members.


People are presumed innocent until proven guilty in The Court Of Law though.

Soiree...

 


The Hate love story for the world to watch. Use some big words in it like Incite, Constitution, Protection, Duties, etc.

Not enough that the first impeachment failed miserably, now let us try it again. This time is different.

The whole congress following Ms. Pelosi into a useless second impeachment or we can say looking for Revenge. No questions asked.  

We blame other countries when they just agree with their leader to do something with this type of agreement... It is usually a bad idea like the invasion of Iraq and the destruction of Libya.

Scorned...

 




It was the English poet William Congreve, in his play “The Mourning Bride,” 1697, who first penned the line “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Now we must update the warning: “Hell hath no fury like a Catholic woman scorned.”

Even veteran Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) watchers said they’ve never seen the Speaker explode like she did.  But when James Rosen of Sinclair shouted out his impertinent question  “Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?” Pelosi fired back with both barrels.

Pelosi was responding to something much more sinister in that question. He wasn’t just questioning her politics, he was questioning her faith

There are two things that guide her: her family and her unshakeable Catholic faith.

The Social Gospel very simply holds that we’re on earth with a duty to do the best we can, helping others. And, in so doing, they’re motivated only by love. Again, following Christ’s dictate in the gospel:  

“As a Catholic, I resent your using the word ‘hate’ in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone.”    BY BILL PRESS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 

Disrespect ...

 



House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will proceed with legislation to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time 7 days before the end of his term. 

She pushed Trump vice president and his Cabinet to invoke constitutional authority force him out.   That failed.

In a letter in mid-January 2019, Trump canceled a trip Pelosi was scheduled to take to Brussels and Afghanistan on a military plane.  

After the release of the Mueller report in April, [again failed attempt against Trump] talk of impeachment began to swirl.  Pelosi told reporters the president was “engaged in a cover-up.  

Another fight erupted when the Justice Department backed a judge's ruling that the entire Affordable Care Act should be repealed. 

In mid-October, tensions between Trump and Pelosi cut a White House meeting short after 20 minutes. The meeting, which was meant to be about the administration's Syria policy, began with the president declaring he did not want to be there.  

On December 17, Trump sent a six-page letter to Pelosi, calling the impeachment inquiry “an unconstitutional abuse of power” and “war on American Democracy.”  The impeachment failed miserably.
