That’s right, anyone who unfortunately attended U.S. public schools after 1990:
It took a Republican president to free the slaves.
And it’ll take a Republican president, Senate, and House to fully and finally free America from the Democrat COVID fear merchant authoritarians.
The good news is that the mass formation psychosis is finally breaking:
Ironically, it’s members of today’s Republican Party who talk about seceding from the Union.
Honest Abe wouldn’t have been terribly at home in THESE here United States.
The CDC director admitted up to 40% of reported COVID hospitalizations are not actually due to COVID
https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-jake-tapper-misleading-covid-hospitalization
…and over 75% died with Covid…not from. Slight difference when the facts are used.
Exactly… Sort of like they died from blood loss, not from the bullet wound, or falling from the bridge didn’t kill her, it was the sudden landing.
…with at least 4 previous comorbidity s. This my friend, was a statement FROM the CDC.
Man dies of Covid after shooting himself in the head?
I’m looking forward to some of these historicals that AppleTV+ is producing. Napoleon is another one that was mentioned a few weeks ago.
Provided they make it a genuine documentary on the Abraham Lincoln the man (not trying to support any politics), it should be super engaging. It’ll dovetail nicely into the other historicals and the big Masters of The Air coming sometimes this year.
Creating a biography of Lincoln without the politics of his era is like creating a biography of Steve Jobs without including the technology of his day.
