Former President Donald Trump pushed back on a questioner’s skepticism about the effectiveness and safety of the Covid-19 vaccine in a new interview, saying that the “vaccine works” and “people aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”
“Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get (Covid), it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine,” he said in an interview with The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens that was released Tuesday.
When Owens began raising doubt about the vaccine efficacy, Trump interjected, saying, “Well, no, the vaccine works.”
“The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take their vaccine. But it’s still their choice, and if you take the vaccine, you are protected,” he said.

I’ve been following Chicon’s comments and many deserve consideration and serious discussion, rather than the automatic discrediting that erupts from the 2 “hee haws” here (borrowing a label from Tina).
Fact ——> over 70% of the country felt we were going in the wrong direction before the election. Inflationary effects, immigration, the economy, crime, Ukraine were issues people stressed needing to be addressed. Trump, having a surprising win, with many describing it as a “mandate”, is filling his administration with people assigned to deal with these issues, and much more.
Last night Milei, Argentina’s president, met with and applauded the team who hopefully will have as much success as he’s had to remedy an ailing economy. Another strong president to have had there is Salvadoran Bukele, who tackled the crime in his country in a no-nonsense fashion. The key to accomplish such ambitious goals is to have the right men in place who are not afraid or can’t be intimidated to go against consensus thinking. Gabbard, Hegseth, Bobby, Gaetz are just a few of Trump’s more unconventional choices, who could ultimately be ones critically needed to reform our weakening state of affairs associated with the Intel community, defense, medical honesty, and unbiased justice.

POLL QUESTION (from me)
*****************************
There are different views of why people elected Trump. How many people here–and how many Americans–fall into each category below as to why they voted for Trump?
What as the MAIN reason?
Or at the very LEAST, what is YOUR % of each the following is why people voted to elect Trump.
{MY % of voters that I think voted for Trump is in ( ) to the left.
(5%) A. VALIDATION OF TRUMP, support of Trump as a person; repudiating of the political motivated lawfare tactics used to try to take down Trump; validates that the 2020 election WAS stolen from Trump (TRUMP’S VIEW)
(30%) B. REPUDIATION OF DEMOCRATS failed policies, actions, agenda and performance of last 4 years–both domestic and foreign,. Not a big fan of erratic, foul mouthed, bad behaving Trump, but the other side is crazy–and at least Trump supports more sensible policies than Kamala does.
(30%) C. BAD ECONOMY. Voters chose Trump primarily because of the bad economy and people were worse off after 4 years of Biden and the Ds (jobs, inflation, emotion of savings due to inflation, energy prices, taxes, etc.)
(30%) D. ILLEGAL ALIENS/OPEN BORDERS. and all that ushered in–ignoring constitution and laws, crime, failure of illegals to assimilate into American culture, lots of fed, states and local $$$ being spent to house, feed, transport, clothe, provide healthcare, education etc. for the 9 to 11 million illegals at the expense of providing what was needed to real Americans and creating BIG problems in providing health care, education, and negative impact on U.S. communities
(5%) E. TRUMP WAS THE LESSER OF TWO BAD CANDIDATES and the voters were personally turned off by both candidates. But at least Trump did have a good deal of success in his term as president–until CROVID hit.
(0)% F. THEY VOTED TRUMP BECAUSE MOST VOTERS ARE RACIST MISOGYNISTS WHO WANT TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, SEIZE POWER, CANCEL ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS, PUT POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN JAIL OR REEDUCATION CAMPS
“F” is the view of “THE VIEW” and LOTS of the far left–and THEY think that Trump’s felony convictions should have DQ-ed him sd a choice for any thoughtful voter.)

Remember that Justice was first elected as a DEMOCRAT.
He operated like a Dem., and in his first year proposed a $465 MIllion dollar tax INCREASE that the R majority in the State legislature immediately shot DOWN. Then Justice made war on the legislature, and LOST.
THEN, he switched from D to R and won reelection.
He violated State code and REFUSED to actually move from Greenbrier county to Charleston and live at the governor’s mansion there. But the WV Sup. CT. said that was ok.
DESPITE being a billionaire and owning the Greenbrier Resort, coal mines and about 100 other businesses, he has HUGE problems with NOT paying contractors who do work for him. (remember, he WAS a Dem for most of his life).
He has not paid the state sales taxes he collected at the Greenbrier Resort, and has not paid the workers comp he collected from his employees to the State. He has outstanding tax liabilities he owed in VA and by court order has now paid those.
He is in poor health. Has a hard time walking. He is a huge guy–about 6’4″ and about 360 pounds and brings a big wooden stool to sit on when he goes and speaks anywhere. I hear he has kidney issues and does dialysis.
But he connects with the little people, speaks in a folksy, “well, deed and double, I rekon that I …” way,…has lots of heartwarming stories of how he has personally helped little people he has come across, etc.BEfore he was governor, he did a lot to help flood victims and help lead the flood recovery efforts in Greenbrier county after a big flood there. He was a LONG time coach of both the boys and girls basketball high school teams at Greenbrier High School despite not being a teacher or school employee. He has been governor during the legislature driven cultural and economic turnaround and has taken credit for all that.

Bitter – Reagan was highly successful as President, despite having to deal with issues in which he had no direct experience (this is the case with all Presidents, eh?) Perhaps Kennedy will also have good results.
Claiming I said Reagan was “just an actor” is example 5,432 in an intentional misrepresentation of someone’s position. You probably don’t even notice at this point.

”Jan – You said you are a nurse. Do you want an environmental lawyer dictating the care your patients receive?”
There is nothing in RFK Jr’s rhetoric, writings or legal challenges that indicate he will “dictate” policy. His stances on vaccines are that they follow ALL safety precautions set forth, and do not exercise short cuts because of hiding behind an emergency authorization. He also has made it clear vaccines, like the experimental gene therapy COVID one, should be voluntarily taken, not mandated. The repurposed drugs (ivermectin, HCQ) suggested by many physicians and well known epidemiologists were banned by the medical hierarchy, despite the encouraging results from those who used them. He has been involved in the harmful effects of pesticides, as well as the pressure by big agriculture to eliminate small organic farming. Finally he wants to revisit all the toxic, often carcinogenic chemicals, used in preserving or making our food more appealing but unhealthy, that are banned in other countries. I’ve always been one of those RNs who is open to better ways of obtaining health, whether it’s thru strictly western means, or by natural, Eastern and holistic health means.

Republican Joe Walsh: “On a radio show yesterday, the host asked me about the future of the Republican Party. I said it’s the MAGA party now for good. Duh. I said the GOP will NEVER again be a party of freedom, free markets, free trade, robust legal immigration, and limited government. It’ll never again be the party that sees America as THE force for good in the world, that sees America as that “shining city on a hill.”

Trump SHOULD do these things:
— root out, fire and replace political appointees from previous administrations who are leftists who do things to advance leftist ideology
–get the Justice Dept and FBI to be TRULY NON-political agencies that uphold the law and do not “tilt” the law and Justice one way or the other. (It will be a BIG mistake if Trump’s goal is to turn the LEFT tilt of those agencies to be a RIGHT tilt and use the agencies to legally go after TRump’s opponents)
–reduce the number of federal employees, and reduce the huge number of buildings the fed govt. occupies.
–eradicate the D.E.I. foolishness that has permeated all federal government agencies and get rid of all the D.E.I employees
–wind down the Dept of Energy
–wind down the Dept. of Education. Reevaluate federal finances going to colleges and universities…
–try to tackle the “rule by agency rules developed by the agencies” rather than by the intent of laws passed by congress
–FIRST, find and deport all illegal aliens who with criminal histories (other than the criminal act of crossing the border illegally), gang members, etc. Then start phase 2 or roundup and deportation of illegals. Tell them to get in line behind others who are following the legal process to enter the U.S. after proper vetting.
–finish building the wall on southern border and beef up security there.

It is already pretty clear that Trump wants nobody in his administration with close. cozy and long-time ties to Washington.
But his challenge is for his appointees to be successful in overseeing the operations of those agencies in a sensible way.
If Trump and his appointees all try to “weaponize” the agencies to be politically driven just like the Ds did for DOJ, then that would be as bad as what the Ds did.

Nice agenda for Big Orange, Walt. I especially agree about DOJ & FBI. That said, I don’t think anyone who violated the law as members of those departments should get a free pass. Any warranted punishment should be imposed.

Walt, on the subject of the wall, I’d also offer to help Mexico build their own wall on their southern border and assist them in dealing with the migrant surge to make sure it never arrives here in the first place. Every $ spent doing that will save countless more $ here at home from having to pay those people once they arrive.

Odd that the Dems are the party that is pro-LBGTQ and pro Trans and AT THE SAME TIME support countries and peoples in the Middle East whose policies OUTLAW gays and put LBGTQs to death.
Odd that in CA, the Dems are the part pushing for lower housing costs and lower rent, when THEY and THEIR policies have been the major CAUSE of high housing and rent costs in CA.
Odd that the Dem party is fine with taking guns away from law abiding citizens, defund the police, defined ICE, support sanctuary cities, support policies and “justice reform” that lead to higher crime and then the Dems say they are going to help reduce the crime rate. (In Washington D,.C. it is AGAINST THE LAW for police officers to question juveniles who are suspected of committing murder, armed carjackings and other crimes without the CONSENT of their parent.)
Odd that the Dem party want to make every vote count–even if the vote is cast by someone who in not eligible to vote.
Odd that the Dem party supports peaceful transition of power, but looks the other way when violence breaks out from THEIR side when Trump was inaugurated in 2016 and lots of destruction in D.C.
Odd that there Dem party is opposed to prejudicial actions and speech, yet they are quick to say that all the Trump voters are racists and misogynists.
Odd that the Dem party favors freedom of speech, etc., yet are the first to knock someone’s red MAGA hat off their head, tear down a political yard sign, harass diners in restaurants who are (or have beliefs) different from them, etc.

Has anyone ever wondered why Europe does not allow medical commercials, while our media is awash with them? What would happen to big pharma medicines if they could not be pushed on TV? Maybe the public would be less reliant on popping a pill and seek dietary, exercise options instead.

The comment was aimed squarely at your tendency to give authority to only those who have a specific set of papers given to them by some other authority that the plebes are not allowed to question. It’s silly, and laughable.
As Buckley pointed out a while ago, “I would rather be governed by the first 2000 people in the Manhattan phone book than the entire faculty of Harvard.”……..I will allow that he partially screwed up by inserting the word “first” in there, as Trump would come later in the phone book.

RFK Jr. Is said to ban medical commercials should he become HHS Secretary. The only other country, other the US, to allow such advertising is New Zealand. Such a ban would decrease the tendency for the media to protect big pharma from honest investigative reporting.
Also, Trump is said to look at pardoning J6 prisoners on a case by case basis, rather than a blanket pardon.
