It is just beyond belief to me that there are still people who actually believe that those in our Government like Mass-murderer Anthony Fauci, and the Fake President suffering from dementia, Joe Biden, are telling the truth. What evidence do you have that they have EVER said anything publicly that is true about COVID-19? But there it is. Fear mongering to get more people to sign up for the bioweapon shots, because now the “unvaccinated” will be blamed for this “new variant” which is neither “new” nor dangerous (if it exists at all).

John McCain (R.-Ariz.) was asked by John Harris of the Washington Post about past claims about the legislation that “severe punishment, pain -- should not...
