@ChadPergram A) From colleague Kelly Phares. GOP PA Sen Toomey tried to get clearance for his cryptocurrency amdt on the floor. But was blocked on the flr. GOP AL Sen Shelby wanted to include his amdt to hike defense spending. But Sanders objected to both amdts. B) Dem DE Sen Carper tried to get cryptocurrency added again. But couldn't get an agreement to do so. In short, the modifying cryptocurrency amdt was not adopted. Doubtful new language will be added before final passage.

The Great Chastisement ~ How It Connects To Current Events, Q Intel and Trump (Part 1) by Sandra Airey You hear it all over, even from family and friends, the stock market is going to crash! The ads are endless to buy gold or silver. I am in no way qualified to discuss the stock market since my husband will not even let me near the checkbook; and for good reason. But I do know about the Patriot movement as explained for three years by Q, other surrogates and our own dear President Trump. Because I have so much faith...

[H/T Farcesensitive]2/ And he is not going to propose more lockdowns or widespread boosters. They do want to vaccinate teens but they are getting pushback. From an Icelandic reader (as you can see, the articles back him).What is so stunning about this is that a couple of weeks ago, as cases began to rise, Iceland looked to be going the opposite way and imposing a new wave of restrictions in the hope of bolstering vaccine effectiveness. Clearly they've recognized that strategy is impossible. Put Iceland on Team Reality. Virus gonna virus.

Looks like Covid isn't the only thing that's contagious. After prolonged exposure to Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski has taken to parroting his endless repeating of a phrase for what he presumably imagines is political effect. We've witnessed multiple examples of poor Joe's affliction before. With Joe away, Mika jumped on his repetition hobby horse on today's Morning Joe. Her phrase: "death cult." In the opening segment, Mika used "death cult" no fewer than eight times to hammer DeSantis, Florida, and others over the Covid vaccine. In her melodramatic spiel, Mika veered from haranguing her audience to choking up. Get the...

"Joe Biden did not return from Delaware today and we have had consecutive days with no public events and early press lids. We have no further guidance on POTUS’s movements for the rest of the week."

The push for vaccine passports is primarily driven by the thought that it will hurt Donald Trump supporters the most. Liberals seem to relish the idea of seeing deplorables kicked out of restaurants and forced to beg for food. They especially like the idea of all of them being placed alongside terrorists on the no-fly list. Former Homeland Security assistant secretary Juliette Kayyem made this case in The Atlantic last week, arguing that “flying is not a right.” (The original headline for the op-ed said unvaccinated people “belong on the no-fly list.” The revised title merely says they should “bear...

Legislation introduced in Congress this month would require any semi-automatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine to be registered under the National Firearms Act.The bill, H.R.4953 {To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act any semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine.}, was filed last Friday in the House by U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Florida Democrat who is outspoken in his support of gun control measures."Congress passed the National Firearms Act after the 1929 Valentine's Day massacre to tightly regulate certain...

For well over a year now, we have seen the negative impact of government mandates on businesses and families in response to this virus. But there can be no doubt that our students here in Tennessee have been some of the hardest hit and they have the scars to prove it. The latest TCAP results show that less than 30% of our students across the state are reading and understanding math simply at their own grade level. And for the most part, we know that we can blame the lack of in-person learning over the prior school year. Yet, we...

NINETEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 17:22-27 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus prophesies his Crucifixion and Resurrection: “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” What enabled the first Christians to hold up the cross, to sing its praises, to wear it as a decoration is the fact that God raised up and ratified precisely this crucified Jesus. “The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead.” Therefore, God was involved in this terrible thing; God was...

A British man said he lost his health-obsessed brother and both their parents from COVID-19 within a week of each other — blaming “misinformation” for leaving them fearful of the vaccine. Francis Goncalves told Wales Online that dad Basil, 73, is thought to have first got infected on July 6 when he went to a hospital for kidney stones while with his wife and their other son in Portugal. Two days later, the dad had a family meal — which is when he likely also infected his wife, Charmagne, 65, and their son Shaul, 40, who lives with his girlfriend...

Activists in Minneapolis are making a second attempt to get rid of the city's police department, more than a year after George Floyd's death at the hands of officers. [snip] More than a year after George Floyd’s death sparked a failed push to abolish the Minneapolis Police Department, activists and several City Council members are trying again, with a well-funded initiative that would ask voters in November whether the department — disparaged by critics for what they say is an enduring culture of brutality — should be dismantled. In its place would be a public safety department that employs a...

Around 160 San Francisco Sheriffs Deputies are threatening to resign and seek employment elsewhere or opt for early retirement due to the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy. San Francisco officials recently announced that all city employees will have to be vaccinated or face possible termination.A number of San Francisco deputies will seek employment elsewhere or opt for early retirement if they are required to take the COVID-19 vaccine under a new imposed vaccine mandate, warned the city’s sheriff’s union on Friday. San Francisco officials recently announced that all city employees will have to be vaccinated or face possible termination.There are about...

Tennessee State Rep. Bruce Griffey (R-Paris) said Sunday that if he and other state legislators hold a special session, then they should consider restraining the governor’s emergency powers. Griffey said legislators should take up the governor’s authority to declare and extend public health emergencies. The governor can do this without oversight by the Tennessee General Assembly. “In my opinion — and I have sent this text out to a number of folks and I’ve gotten a pretty good response — the governor should only have 30 days of emergency authorization. He ought to get the speaker and the lieutenant governor...

A Florida pastor is imploring his parishioners to get vaccinated — after six members of the church recently died from COVID-19 within 10 days. “Four of them were under the age of 35. All of them were healthy, and the only thing they had in common was they were not vaccinated,” Impact Church senior pastor George Davis told told WJXT-TV. One of the victims was a woman who was recently married and had a young daughter, he added to WFLA-TV. “It’s definitely taken a toll on us,” Davis said of the deaths. “Some of [the victims] have been extremely close...

The Colorado Rockies have reportedly determined that a fan did not use a racial slur at Miami Marlins player Lewis Brinson during Sunday’s game. The man was attempting to get the attention of the team’s mascot, "Dinger." The fan was accused of saying the n-word during the Rockies’ game, however, a video later surfaced of him sitting behind home plate and waving and shouting to the mascot to come by him. The Rockies said that they spoke to the fan, who confirmed that was what happened. The team also reportedly reviewed video footage from the local broadcast. The Rockies confirmed...

Most of the rest of America knows Cuomo from his pandemic presentations—more than 100 days of daily Covid-19 briefings, beginning in March 2020. They were informative, occasionally somber, but often funny—and hugely optimistic. For a brief moment, he was the nation’s pandemic prince. There was even talk of his supplanting Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket. But this was a sugar high, fading quickly when the state’s true Covid casualty numbers—still among the nation’s highest—began rolling in. And soon it was reported that the governor’s staff had cooked those statistics to understate vastly the number...

In another drastic reminder of just how fundamentally the pandemic has distorted the labor market, the number of open jobs soared to a record 10.1 million in June, according to the latest monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary. As the economy rebounds — even while the delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading in poorly vaccinated parts of the United States — businesses are scrambling to add staff. “This adds an exclamation point or two to the sense of urgency employers are feeling,” said Mark Hamrick, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. The...

An Ebola-like virus has been found in West Africa for the first time with a patient in Guinea dying from the extremely fatal disease. Health authorities in Guinea have confirmed one death from the Marburg virus, a highly infectious hemorrhagic fever which causes suffers to bleed to death, the World Health Organization said on Monday. The death marks the first time that the deadly disease has been identified in West Africa. There have been 12 major Marburg outbreaks since the virus was first discovered in the German town of the same name in 1967, mostly in southern and eastern Africa....
