Elizabeth Warren Tries to Walk Back Horrendous Comments on Murder of Healthcare CEO. https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/12/elizabeth-warren-tries-to-walk-back-horrendous-comments-on-murder-of-healthcare-ceo/

They misled you ? What a surprise. Headline writers blithely omit "a" and "the," but there's a big difference between "the polio vaccine" and "a polio vaccine." The Washington Post splashes this in our face: "RFK Jr. ally filed petition to revoke FDA approval for polio vaccine." I suspect that many readers experience alarm — Oh, no, it's crazy to take away the polio vaccine! — and read no further. But it's not the polio vaccine. It's a polio vaccine. From the text of the article: An ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned the government in 2022 to reconsider its approval of a widely used polio vaccine, which is credited with staving off a debilitating virus that can result in permanent paralysis. The petition is about one polio vaccine, not all polio vaccines. Aaron Siri — a lawyer with a history of seeking to expand exemptions to vaccines — asked the Food and Drug Administration to suspend or withdraw approval of Sanofi’s polio vaccine for children.... In the 2022 petition, [Siri] raised questions about the safety of the polio vaccine and argued for more studies to be conducted. I've added the boldface. That "the" in "the polio vaccine" refers to Sanofi's vaccine, and if you go to the link on "petitioned the government" you'll see Sanofi's vaccine distinguished from other polio vaccines. The Washington Post has a subheadline with the word "the": Click for more » https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/12/headline-writers-blithely-omit-and-but.html#more

Sadly, you are correct sir. In my 40 years as a nurse a broken hip in someone elderly is almost certainly a precursor to their decline. The trauma is just too much to overcome, the loss of mobility deeply effects their senses and cognition.

From the same article. Like Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Siri insists he does not want to take vaccines away from anyone who wants them. “You want to get the vaccine — it’s America, a free country.” he told Arizona legislators last year after laying out his concerns about the vaccines for polio and other illnesses. I thought we approved of "choice"

END THREAD. JOHN NOLTE: Lesley Stahl, Van Jones ‘Extremely Worried’ About Death of Corporate Media Influence. “I’m extremely worried about the press. I despair. I worry greatly. We’re at the point where if [sic] the POTUS is going to say ‘Legacy media is dead.’ I’m very dark about it.” Eat it, sweetheart. If the knowledge that Lesley Stahl is despairing and in a dark place does not make you want to stand up and cheer, you must be a feminist. You see, throughout the 2024 campaign, the corporate media were Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. They didn’t know they were dead. Being ignorant of their own death, they played all their usual games assuming it would drag Kamala Harris — Celebrity Obama 2.0 — over the finish line. Stahl’s own 60 Minutes went so far as to dishonestly edit Kamala’s interview to make her sound smart. Van Jones’ own CNN raged on and on about Trump’s “Nazi rally” at Madison Square Garden and spread the hoax about Trump calling for Liz Cheney’s execution. Then… The “too big to rig” results came in on Election Night and it finally hit them: We’re dead. No one believes us anymore. Our influence is gone. We can’t rig elections anymore with our lies and hoaxes. Despair! Despair! Despair! Donald Trump visiting podcast after podcast, doing Joe Rogan, sitting down for a handful of Breitbart News interviews, is as big a sea change in politics as when John F. Kennedy embraced television in 1960. Radio was declared dead. TV was king. Well, now, the legacy media is dead and alternative media is king. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2024/12/12/nolte-lesley-stahl-van-jones-extremely-worried-death-corporate-media-influence/

Here's wishing the best. and please retire.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE: Little Joe is still busy . . . . . . . or at least his 'handlers' are. Biden commutes roughly 1,500 sentences and pardons 39 people in biggest single-day act of clemency. You see, if you can’t prove violence, then people are put away on something else. And there’s plea bargaining and… I’d look very carefully at everyone Biden is letting out and their connection to Biden. The Biden Junta is dirty, dirty, dirty. https://apnews.com/article/biden-pardons-clemency-4432002d67334e6716c2776fd73f3cc8 .

Even after decades of 'indoctrination' most people still want what is best.

IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A PARODY, BUT . . .

The infighting continues. Nancy Pelosi trying to ‘tank’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s House Oversight Committee bid: Report by Victor Nava Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Pelosi, 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as ranking member on the high-profile panel and is “actively working to tank” the 35-year-old New York Democrat’s bid, according to Punchbowl News. The former House speaker has been “making calls” urging Democrats to support Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez, the outlet reported on Thursday. https://nypost.com/2024/12/13/us-news/nancy-pelosi-trying-to-tank-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-house-oversight-committee-bid-report/

Election Day was pretty red in Texas and a Democrat is switching parties. Check this out: A Texas judge representing a county flipped by Donald Trump in this year's presidential race announced he is leaving the Democratic Party to become a Republican on Tuesday. Trump, who defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in November, made substantial gains this year in South Texas, home to a high Latino population that has traditionally leaned toward voting Democratic. Nationwide, he cut into Democrats' margins in several voting groups -- including among Latino, Asian and young voters -- leaving the Democratic Party questioning how it can regain trust from these communities in upcoming elections. Democrats were dealt another political blow on Tuesday in South Texas after Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina announced he would switch his party to Republican during an interview with Fox & Friends. Webb County sits on the U.S.-Mexico border and has become integral to the national debate surrounding immigration. "Over the years, I've watched the Democratic Party shift further and further to the left, and leaving the values that I hold dear to my heart. I've always been a conservative, and the radicalization of the national Democrats pushed me away a long time ago. For that reason, I'm proud to announce I will be leaving the Democratic Party and joining the Republican Party," he said. Judge Tijerina is fed up with a party moving to the Left. Where have we heard that before? The move came after a Florida lawmaker, one day earlier, announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to join the GOP. State Representative Susan Valdes, who represents a district near Tampa, wrote in a statement that she did not want to be part of a caucus "whose leadership expects me to ignore the needs of my community." "I know that I won't agree with my fellow Republican House members on every issue, but I know that in their caucus, I will be welcomed and treated with respect," she wrote. https://www.newsweek.com/tano-tijerina-becomes-republican-texas-webb-county-1998619

Food Network Now Trouncing CNN in Ratings by Mia Cathell CNN's post-election ratings continue to flail miserably following President-elect Donald Trump's triumph in the 2024 election. And now, CNN can't "Beat Bobby Flay." Viewers would rather watch "Guy's Grocery Games" than "Anderson Cooper 360," according to the latest TV ratings. (X) Last week, CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime programming hours, losing additionally to Hallmark's campy Christmas movies, house-hunting escapades on HGTV, and even the History Channel. In fact, CNN's small audience was outsized by those tuning into TBS, TLC, TNT, and Freeform, respectively, among others. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2024/12/13/food-network-outranks-cnn-n2648953 .
