They are the new 99 percenters — the vast majority of Americans who are getting serious cases of COVID-19 or dying are unvaccinated. While COVID-19 cases continue to spike across the US, the overwhelming majority of deaths and hospitalizations from the virus continue to overwhelmingly be among unvaccinated Americans, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 30, about 99 percent of hospital admissions were among those who hadn’t been fully inoculated, which is defined by the CDC as two weeks after the second dose of a Pfizer or Moderna shot or...

US Rep Adam Kinzinger of Rockford, IL has again grabbed some undeserved attention, this time by throwing the Republican Party under the bus, going on national television to attack GOP efforts to put an end to Democratic election fraud. The Kinzinger quote with which the Left is having the most fun is "I think if we're going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the Republican Party should not have the majority." Now it’s easy to dismiss this as just “Kinzinger being Kinzinger.” He likes being this generation’s version of Jim Jeffords or...

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday warned congressional leaders that the U.S. is on track to default on the national debt in October if the White House and Congress are unable to raise the debt limit. In a Wednesday letter, Yellen said that the Treasury Department would likely run out of cash and exhaust “extraordinary” measures to keep the federal government within its legal borrowing limit at some point next month. "Once all available measures and cash on hand are fully exhausted, the United States of America would be unable to meet its obligations for the first time in our...

Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D-NY) said Tuesday he would not support the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill if Democrats would not increase the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, which primarily benefits wealthy Democrat states. “No SALT, no deal,” Suozzi, a House Ways and Means Committee member, said Tuesday. The committee, which writes tax policy, will have large sway over the crafting of the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. “I’m pushing for full repeal,” he added. Republicans limited the SALT deduction to decrease most Americans’ taxes with the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Trump tax bill limited the SALT cap to...

Moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) has privately said he won't support more than $1.5 trillion of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion economic blueprint, and he'll support as little as $1 trillion of it, according to Axios.Given Democrats' razor-thin 50-50 Senate (with VP Kamala Harris being the tie-breaker), Manchin has the power to effectively block the legislation if no Republicans cross the aisle - and his line in the sand would mean a hard ceiling for Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda which includes a laundry list of progressive priorities, including universal preschool and free community college.More via Axios:Manchin also has committed...

The Chinese regime’s recent show of military strength in Tibet was an attempt to intimidate neighboring India amid heightened tensions, according to two former high-ranking military officers. But New Delhi remains confident it is a formidable opponent to Beijing, they said.At the end of August, large-scale joint exercises were conducted by the People Liberation Army’s (PLA) Tibet Military Command (TMC). At least 10 brigades and regiments affiliated with the PLA took part in the exercises near India’s northeastern border. The exercises were akin to last month’s naval and air force assault drills carried out by the PLA near Taiwan’s southern...

Far-left co-host of "The View" Joy Behar on Wednesday's show implied that unvaccinated COVID-19 patients don't deserve medical help because they've "chosen to defy the science" and have "chosen to listen to the lies on Fox [News]" — all while patients with other needs can't get hospital beds. What are the details? Former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love — a Republican — sat at "The View" table in former co-host Meghan McCain's seat and argued that it's a "slippery slope" for doctors to say they won't treat unvaccinated patients as that decision could lead to them saying they won't treat people...

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday warned the USA could hit its debt limit by next month, warning Congress that she will run out of maneuvering room.In a letter to leaders of Congress, Yellen said she can’t provide a specific date for when she’ll be not able to keep the federal government funded unless the chamber raises the debt limit. Should that happen, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, funding for Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicare will likely be halted.“Given this uncertainty, the Treasury Department is not able to provide a specific estimate of how long...

PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland police officers will not be required to get vaccinated against COVID-19 under the city's vaccine mandate, Mayor Ted Wheeler said Wednesday. The city announced on August 30 it would require all city employees to be vaccinated or risk losing their jobs. The city initially interpreted Gov. Brown's order requiring all health care workers in Oregon to be vaccinated to legally include police officers, who receive some medical training. But new guidance from the Oregon Health Authority, first reported by OPB, said police officers are "probably not" covered under this rule because, for most of them, providing...

According to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Medicaid is the most fraud-ridden program in the entire federal government.Per the report, “The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has taken steps, but further efforts are needed to reduce improper payments, ensure the appropriate use of program dollars, and improve program data.”Since 2003, GAO, a non-partisan government watchdog, has designated Medicaid a “high risk” program.Unfortunately, in the 18 years that Medicaid has been deemed a “high risk” program, little progress has been made in combating the improper payments that have become rampant throughout the program.As the report notes,...

If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a...

The House Speaker slammed the president on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation’ on Sunday Pelosi addressed the president’s Twitter attacks against Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, while she was testifying during the impeachment investigation on Friday. “I think part of it is his own insecurity as an impostor,” Pelosi said. "I think he knows full well that he’s in that office way over his head."

‘Clean Nigeria: Use the Toilet’ campaign "Open defecation The main problem is that due to open defecation and lack of wash water, sanitation is a big issue.They lack basic toilets, so they don’t put the human excreta in the right place or even if they collect the excreta in a bucket, they just dump it in areas where people are preparing and eating food and where children play. It has really been a nightmare and it’s embarrassing in a way because most of the populace is actually right here in Yola North which is the main local government that is...
