If they already have it, it’s too late. Vaccines are a preventative measure.

And even the most unreliable source is telling us that at least 80% of them don't have it. Let's keep it that way.

That is precisely why Trump is needed - and exactly why corporations and billionaires are so hostile to him.

The political class, on the other hand, keeps telling us that the middle class are all a bunch of racists and deserve to be destroyed…
Seriously?

Oh my.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem -- we can vax them as we catch them.

After all, with so many people turning to livestock dewormer, there should be plenty of genuine vaccine in surplus.



At the going rate of $775 per person per night, I'd quit my day job and do it full time, if the opportunity was available... alas, I live in a studio apartment barely large enough for myself. Such is life.

Here, they are serious about removing unauthorized residrnts.

I am relieved to see the American people are largely united in welcoming Afghan refugees to our country....for now anyway.


PHOENIX — The hundreds of parishioners at Desert Springs Bible Church, a sprawling megachurch in the northern suburbs of Phoenix, are divided over mask mandates, the presidential election and what to do about migrants on the border. But they are unified on one issue: the need for the United States to take in thousands of Afghan evacuees, and they are passing the plate to make it happen.

“Even the most right-leaning isolationists within our sphere recognize the level of responsibility that America has to people who sacrificed for the nation’s interest,” said Caleb Campbell, the evangelical church’s lead pastor.

Last weekend, the church inaugurated a campaign to raise money for the dozens of Afghan families who are expected to start streaming into greater Phoenix in the next several weeks. Already, thousands of dollars have flowed into the church’s “benevolence fund.”

“This is a galvanizing moment,” said Mr. Campbell, 39.

Throughout the United States, Americans across the political spectrum are stepping forward to welcome Afghans who aided the U.S. war effort in one of the largest mass mobilizations of volunteers since the end of the Vietnam War.

Arizona Governor Ducey and AZ House Leader Rusty Bowers released a statement today:

“The Afghans fleeing the Taliban regime served alongside America’s military forces and fought for freedom,” they said. “We’re grateful for their efforts and Arizona wholeheartedly welcomes our fair share of the refugees in our state.”

In their statement, they also included a quote from the Bible, in Ephesians:
“So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God.”

...apparently in response to some (in their party) who feel otherwise:

-gubernatorial frontrunner Kari Lake, who retweeted the message, “Unvetted refugees incoming.”

-state Sen. Wendy Rogers who on Wednesday tweeted, “If you are bringing in unvetted refugees, you are bringing in Covid and you are bringing in possible terrorists. That is like launching a terror attack and a bio weapon on your own people. Treason!”

- US Rep. Paul Gosar “These are not refugees,” he tweeted. “These are fighting age afghan men who chose not to fight. Not one shot was fired. They do not belong in our country. They belong in their country. We are not the world’s dumping ground for every third-world country.”

Perhaps they were taking their queues from --

Fox’s Tucker Carlson:
“If history is any guide, and it’s always a guide, we will see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our country, and over the next decade, that number may swell to the millions,” Carlson said. “So first we invade, and then we are invaded.”

Fox’s Laura Ingraham: “Is it really our responsibility to welcome thousands of potentially unvetted refugees from Afghanistan?” she said on Monday.


Gov. Doug Ducey welcomes Afghan refugees. Many in the GOP don't

Perhaps they would be more inclined to help if Biden actually did something about the 2 million illegals crossing the border this year.

Seriously, Arizona? Don't they have enough to deal with?

Drop them in Massachusetts.

People across the political spectrum (in AZ and other areas) are helping despite the devisive immigration politics employed by some in recent years. That's a good thing.

Not surprising when the whole country of men flee and leave their women and children to fend for themselves. Can’t see any good coming from that.

No it's not. My neighbor got COVID-19. And still got the COVID-19 vaccinations. Also some people got COVID-19 twice.

Perhaps Arizona should rearrange their priorities. The senate has spent more time haggling in court with Maricopa county and the cyber turtles over the nonsensical "audit" than working on the immigrant "crisis". This political posturing is why people are turning from the GOP. Our needs are being ignored by politicians who care more about their own self-interest than governing!

Your point?

Charity begins at home. If you're taking care of people you don't even know by bringing them to where your family lives... you're responsible for what happens to your family. Especially when unvetted (even by government standards) people are brought into FEMA bases carrying communicable diseases... which are now also supposed to be sequestered in some manner... and then these people are left free to wander the new world they've come into as evacuees (whatever that means).

Even more especially when we know that Afghans are the main source of rape and carved up women in Europe. The people bringing them here absolutely know this. So what could be the reason for importing non-European criminals to European countries? White genocide is not just a rumor anymore.

In addition: Think of it this way: when relief agencies pretend to be taxfree christian groups, but they're actually government contractors... they're working for the government as a sub-contractor, not as a christian group. They are actually wolves in sheep's clothing, giving a bad name to God and His people by putting aliens ahead of the best interests of the family and whatever friends they might have had. Because once it comes out that they're not Lutherans at all, will their friends stand with them? I would hope not.
