It's better to be safe than sorry

Ounce of prevention….pound of cure.


When you find yourself going against simple basic things you’ve known your whole life, THAT’s when you need to realize something has gone terribly wrong.

You may not be fully IN a cult but you are close. Your contrarianism or rugged individualism has put you somewhere that you can’t see for the trees.

Woody Harrelson and Mike Pence went to college together (news to me)

Long before he became an Oscar-nominated movie star and marijuana activist, Woody Harrelson studied theology and hobnobed with a fellow Hanover College student who was also destined for big things: Vice President Mike Pence.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, the host asked Harrelson if he crossed paths with Pence in the early ’80s when they both attended the small liberal arts college in Hanover, Indiana, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

“I knew him, yeah. We were both very religious,” Harrelson said. “It was a Presbyterian college at the time, and I was there on a Presbyterian scholarship, and he was involved with the church activities.”

Harrelson went on to reflect on his former friendship with Pence, saying, “I actually quite liked him. I thought he was a pretty good guy. He’s, you know, very religious. Very committed.

I just watched Fox & Friends and now I'm confused

I tend to flip around at 6AM to see what the leads are on CNN - Morning Joe - F&F.

What F&F shows is a blizzard of clips with the hosts throwing in “yeah but” type statements.
A summary is below but the point is that the viewer gets one step forward - two steps back. The obvious VAX MASK is stated but anyone who has “vaccine hesitancy” (because, politically correct) gets justification and questions.
Douchey (who plead for people to get vaxxed a few days ago and had all hell rain down on him in response) sat there silent, nodding, smiling through the whole thing.
Current female in middle with a camera angle juuuust above a peek up her dress looks repeatedly to co-hosts for approval starts every statement with “but then...”
Kilmeade (garbage) actually looks down and reads from a handful of stapled papers - talking points of what Sounds like statistics and facts. He speaks as fast as humanly possible too.

DeSantis clip - GET VACCINATED
Hosts: Leadership!
Biden (from last night) - GET VACCINATED
Hosts: but he said this a few months ago
Biden - VAX OR MASK
Hosts: very confusing. Yes agrees another host.
Kilmeade (reading feverishly) - over 2...under 12... (looks up) it’s just....
Reporter comes in screen - 83% graphic takes up the full screen “83% of cases nationwide are not vaccinated”
Kilmeade “again CHILD ABUSE” actual quote. He then reads more of 2 years...12 years old...schools...

It was a furious few minutes that left the viewer with little option other than to go with what they’ve heard for the last year every day all day.
