Long Covid in children is more common than previously thought.

@freemo Trump may have declined even further but he was starting from a poor position mentally.

Regardless of how much Trump has declined mentally he was never all that sharp. I recall mocking him in blog posts long before his 2016 run when he made claims such as that climate change does not exist because it is cold outside.

Watching Kamala on 60 Minutes from earlier this evening. She is not capable of handling the interview and does not appear to be capable of being president. (On the other hand Trump, who we know was a terrible president, chickened out). It was the right thing to replace Biden, but Harris was the wrong replacement.

Is it really surprising or a secret that Rasmussen works with Republicans?

Biden & Harris channeling their inner Trump, strengthening restrictions on asylum seekers https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-asylum-restrictions-us-mexico-border/

Man believed to be innocent has been executed. In related news, the Democratic Party removed opposition to capital punishment from its platform this year.

We need a better approach to Ukraine than promoting an endless proxy war with Russia and partisan bickering.

Received Novavax today with a bit of effort. This morning CVS incorrectly told me that it wasn't covered by Medicare. Checking on Twitter I found that some others have had the same problem at CVS. I just went to Meijer's & received Novavax with no problem. The pharmacist recognized my name and we talked a bit. She said she had one person with an employer Blue Cross policy which did not cover it but otherwise no problem with Novavax coverage.

Donald Trump has many faults but Harris is wrong-- it is better to negotiate with enemies than to support endless wars. #Debate2024

Both Trump and Harris lie to promote their campaigns (as commonly happens in elections) but Trump continues to make the most absurd claims, such as that schools are sending students for sex change surgery.

How come Harris is willing to break from Biden by pandering to the right on capital gains taxes but she is not willing to break with Biden's policies of supporting genocide in Gaza and allowing Covid to spread out of control?

Covid was the surprise guest at the Democratic Convention with multiple attendees reporting infections. So much for all the speeches praising Biden for getting us through the pandemic despite his ineffective, unscientific vaccine-only strategy.

Multiple people are now posting on Twitter about becoming positive for Covid after attending the Democratic Convention. This means that the Democrats have been lying by saying the pandemic is over and that the vaccine-only strategy from Biden is sufficient.

Some of the false statements made by Harris & others at the #DemocraticConvention. Other fact checkers list others. I wish more attention was paid to the dishonesty re Gaza & Covid at the convention.

Remember when the Democrats at least made noise about being anti-war, opposed to restrictions on civil liberties such as mass surveillance, and talked of supporting universal healthcare?

In business news, Covid continues to be great for the funeral business: "The pattern now is one of persisting excess deaths, which are most prominent in relative terms in middle-aged and younger adults." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-08-19/deaths-are-up-post-covid-and-so-are-funeral-stocks-prognosis?s=09

Biden's Orwellian speech on genocide in Gaza https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/joe-biden-gaza-democratic-convention?share_id=8386027&utm_campaign=RebelMouse&utm_content=Common+Dreams&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Harris must break with Biden's Gaza policy both because it is the right thing to do and it may be necessary to beat Trump.

Republicans are claiming that Harris' policies include price controls (which is a stretch) and are therefore Communism (a huge stretch). The last time we actually had significant wage and price controls in this country was under Richard Nixon. Was Nixon a Communist?
