President Biden is burning rubber away from the midterm campaign trail. The 79-year-old took his 1967 Corvette Stingray for a spin on an episode of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” that aired Wednesday night. Biden’s green convertible, featuring a 350-horsepower V-8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission, was no match for Michael Powell’s more powerful automatic 2015 Stingray

On the 100th anniversary of the tomb’s dedication, Biden spoke of his friendships with Powell and Cleland and how his own family understood the experience of veterans through his late son’s deployments.

As tens of tens of millions of People stay unvaccinated, state and native governments have launched mandates requiring public workers be absolutely inoculated in opposition to the coronavirus. And whereas orders in some localities have translated into a final minute surge in vaccination charges, they’re additionally met with steadfast refusal, resulting in authorized challenges or considerations over staffing points.Washington State’s mandate, one of many strictest within the nation, went into impact on Monday. The order requires greater than 800,000 public staff to be absolutely inoculated in opposition to the coronavirus, save for a non secular or medical exemption, or danger...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci sounded off on Gen. Colin Powell dying of complications from a reported breakthrough case of COVID-19. Co-host Willie Geist asked Fauci what he would tell people who argue Powell’s death shows the coronavirus vaccine doesn’t work. Fauci, noting the “extremely unusual” situation Powell was in due to age and health, said the former Secretary of State himself would tell the vaccine-hesitant to “go ahead and get vaccinated.” “First of all, it was very unfortunate. General Powell was truly a great, great American, and it’s very sad that...

In the past two weeks, COVID-19 has struck three well-known people. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who had been fully vaccinated, died on Monday due to complications from the virus. Meanwhile, two men who had refused vaccination—conservative radio talk show host Dennis Prager and Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West—caught the virus but survived. On Fox News, these stories are being exploited to cast doubt on COVID vaccines and to suggest that people should rely instead on “natural immunity” or therapeutic drugs. But in fact, the three stories illustrate how vaccine refusers endanger everyone else. People like Prager and West...

Neocon Never-Trumper Liz Cheney has issued a statement whining about former President Donald Trump’s commentary on Colin Powell after his death. Former Secretary of State Powell died on Monday from coronavirus complications at 84, despite being fully vaccinated. Following his death, Trump issued a statement saying that Powell “made big mistakes on Iraq.” “Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media,” Trump wrote in a statement. “Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO [Republican In...
 

Was Colin Powell's death caused by COVID or with COVID?

American Thinker ^ | 10/20/2021 | Jack Hellner
As soon as it was learned that fully vaccinated Colin Powell died of COVID complications, the “experts” came out to tell the public that the vaccine did not fail. They said that Powell died from other diseases, rather than COVID itself. His final illness, nevertheless, was characterized as "complications" from COVID. Now, one line of thought is that the vaccines are useless, given that they didn't protect Powell. But it's doubtful that any of these experts really know what did Powell in. It could just as easily be that Powell died of other causes even as he had COVID, but...
 

‘House Slave’: Left Treated Colin Powell Back Then The Same Way They Treat Elder, Scott Today

As the left now offers condolences for the death of Colin Powell it's clarifying to recall what the left was saying about him before he began openly voting Democrat. Back in 2002, when the Bush administration was leading the country, Powell received what today is a common racial epithet the left uses towards minorities on the right. That year, famed calypso singer Harry Belafonte called Powell a “house slave.” During an interview with a San Diego-based radio show, Belafonte slammed Powell as that “slave” who got the privilege of living and working in the master’s house. “There’s an old saying...

Boy oh Boy the Democrats are such a fickle group. After his endorsement of Barack Obama they rushed to embrace Colin Powell. Flaunting the significance of the endorsement. Yet as recently as February 2007 prominent African American Democrats such as Al Sharpton were calling Powell Bush’s House Negro: Singer, Activist, and Democrat Harry Belafonte Agreed In an interview on San Diego radio station KFMB-AM last Tuesday, Belafonte compared Powell to a plantation slave who moves into the slave owner’s house and says only things that will please his master. “There’s an old saying,” Belafonte said in that interview. “In the...

When the sad news broke that Gen. Colin Powell had died of complications from COVID-19, much of the coverage was reverent of his decades of public service and his status as the first black national security adviser, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of state. Colleagues such as former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer tweeted warmly about Powell's upbeat demeanor: "Always laughing, always happy, always kind." The leftists on Twitter brought out the usual "war criminal" goon talk, complaining about his testimony from intelligence sources that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The most annoying part of...

Most of us would like to remain in this world as long as possible but when we inevitably shuffle off this mortal coil, CNN's Chris Cillizza might be the last person you would want to write your obituary. Why? Because there is a strong chance you would be relegated almost to a sideshow in the remembrance. Such was the case with Colin Powell, who passed away on Monday. He was a diplomat, a statesman, and a four-star general as well as the first African-American Secretary of State. However, in Cillizza's account on Monday, "The Colin Powell Republican no longer exists...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that former Secretary of State Colin Powell may not have died if more Americas were vaccinated against COVID-19. Goldberg said, “Here’s my thing, at some point, people are going to have to grow up. You’re either going to have to make a decision. Five gazillion of us are vaccinated, and we’re okay. Yeah, people have died. People have died having been vaccinated. As of October, there have been 7,178 fatal breakthrough cases that have been reported to the CDC.”

On CNN's Don Lemon Tonight Monday, the host wanted to reflect on the life and career of Gen. Colin Powell, who died earlier in the day at 84. But first, Lemon took issue with multiple Fox News anchors who began raising questions about vaccines “literally minutes” after the news of Powell’s death broke. “Shame on them,” Lemon said. “I just found it to be disgusting. I cannot believe it happened. Every day I'm more surprised when that happens.” Lemon played examples of anchors on Fox News quickly turning the news of Powell’s passing into a discussion about vaccines and also...

You need to understand that in a society where religion has gone out of fashion, the elite has to canonize secular saints as examples for the people it proposes to rule. The elite needs a quasi-religious justification to feel superior, and if it is not divine right that grants them that dispensation, it must be their own inherent superiority. This is why is so vital for them to feel smart – and why you see nonsense like signs reading “We believe in science” on the lawns of suburban wine women who contend that Kaden has become Katy through the power...
