Two more years of Nana Pelosi are bound to bring even more ridiculous sound bites than this. But in light of recent events, this one regarding the COVID-19 vaccine might be the dumbest thing she has said all year. Here’s Pelosi claiming “faith-oriented” Republicans believe in “quackery” rather than science:

Exactly no one Pelosi speaks with says anything remotely like that. Senator Marco Rubio, who regularly tweets Bible verses, got his vaccine on camera to encourage others to do the same. In fact, he and Senator Lindsey Graham were savaged by some blue-check lefties on Twitter for taking it at all. These geniuses decided frontline workers deserved it first and thought these privileged Republicans cut in line.

The US Congress has passed an enormous $2.3 trillion spending bill containing a Covid-19 relief package to individuals and businesses as well as funds allocated for other areas of government spending in 2021, including foreign aid in the billions to Israel.
Late on Monday, social media posts stating that Israel was receiving coronavirus stimulus money sparked outrage, especially since average Americans will only be getting a modest sum of $600.
In reality, while assistance to Israel is included in the legislation, it s part of the so-called omnibus spending bill, which covers Pentagon funds; it is not Covid-19 related.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) majority in the lower chamber was eviscerated on election night, after pollsters predicted that Democrats would make significant gains in congressional elections. Pelosi currently holds an 11-seat majority, losing 9 seats thus far; likewise, Republicans lost no incumbent seats thus far, and flipped upwards of 14 seats previously held by Democrats.
A fresh Politico/Morning Consult poll spells even more trouble for Democrats’ self-proclaimed “master legislator.” Just 31 percent of voters across the board believe that Pelosi should serve another term as speaker, while 56 percent say that she should step aside. On the other hand, 53 percent of self-identified Democrats support Pelosi’s fourth bid for the speakership, but 83 percent and 59 percent of Republicans and Independents, respectively, oppose her serving as speaker again.
Food & The Environmental Revolution: Nourishment To Save The Planet 2020-12-22
Soup cans don t grow on trees. Of course some of the ingredients inside them do, as well as in the ground and on plants and vines. But by the time all those natural products reach your stomach, too often they ve undergone processing, been transported hundreds (or thousands) of miles and generally bear little resemblance to the organic state they came from.
Yes, the over-industrialization of the food industry has put so many steps between the consumer and the product that most of us have forgotten the most elementary principle of food: We re human beings who rely on the earth for nourishment.

After campaigning in Georgia over the weekend, former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley is teaming up with a political action committee (PAC) to give continued support to Senator Kelly Loeffler in Georgia’s high-stakes runoff election. The former ambassador is featured in a new, six-figure ad campaign from Winning for Women Action Fund (WFW AF), a group exclusively focused on boosting GOP women in elections, in which Haley highlights Loeffler’s opponent’s “radical” record.” The group said said that Loeffler, who is in the middle of a a competitive runoff election, adds another strong female leader to Congress.
