Want some good news about TFG? Yahoo: "Trump in advanced talks to sell D.C. hotel."

This means:

He is hurting for money. aka broke And he has a reported $500 million balloon payment coming
up. (see the Steele Dossier ... pee pee tapes .... which said that Trump was highly leveraged and
he owes money to China, Saudi Arabia, and to Russia/Russian mobsters)


He knows he will never be President again so Trump has been and still is lying to his MAGA morons, Proud Boys, Oath
Keepers, Fox News Watchers, and so on about being President again. But by all means "they" can keep on sending him
money, flying their Trump flags, and getting sick and dying from that hoax called C-19. I wonder if they will catch on that
TFG is a con man?

He or his company does not own the hotel building but what they do have is a 60 year lease on the
building and the brokerage firm trying to to sell that lease is asking for $500 million which they will
not get. This is the 2nd brokerage firm that has been shopping the 60 year lease the first brokerage
firm quit doing business w/Trump after the 1/6/21 riot.

Trump will never have a good day for the rest of his life.

Yahoo: Trump in advanced talks to sell D.C. hotel

Former President Trump is in advanced talks to sell rights to his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: The removal of Trump’s big, golden name from Pennsylvania Avenue would be a symbolic bombshell savored by opponents.

Sources said the former president is likely to get less than the $500 million he was reportedly seeking in 2019.

snip

When Trump left office, The Washington Post reported that the D.C. hotel had a $170 million loan outstanding, and had seen revenue drop more than 60 percent compared to the previous year.

The original commercial real estate brokerage firm, Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., dropped out following the Capitol riot, Bloomberg reported.

The Mayor of Miami's father just passed from C-19

Paul Levine, a retired globe-trotting paper executive who saw his oldest daughter elected the first female mayor of Miami-Dade County, died Thursday from complications related to COVID-19, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said. He was 87 and fully vaccinated.

“It just goes to show this new variant is so pernicious when you’re vulnerable,” said Levine Cava, who also contracted COVID in the fall of 2020. “We are just one more family affected by COVID.”

Texas man who argued 'masks aren't going to save you' contracts COVID-19, no longer breathes on own

I have just learned that this is an old story. Sorry, they all run together after awhile.

Play Stupid Games Win Stupid Prizes:

Texas man who argued 'masks aren’t going to save you' contracts COVID-19, no longer breathes on own

As the delta variant continues to spread across the country, unvaccinated individuals are facing the worst of it. Many of those who once organized against pandemic safety measures like wearing masks and getting vaccinated are now battling the virus in hospitals. In one incident, a Texas man who helped organize protests against COVID-19 restrictions is fighting for his life after being hospitalized for almost a month, the San Angelo Standard-Times reported.

“He’s not doing good. It’s not looking in our favor,” said Caleb Wallace’s wife, Jessica. “His lungs are stiff due to the fibrosis. They called and said they’ve run out of options for him and asked if I would consent to a do not resuscitate. And it would be up to us when to stop treatments,” Jessica wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “My heart just can’t. I can’t imagine my life without him.”

“Caleb would tell me, ‘You know masks aren’t going to save you,’ but he understood I wanted to wear them,” Jessica said. Jessica told the Standard-Times that she was “less conservative” than her husband and chose to wear a mask. “It gives me comfort to know that maybe, just maybe, I’m either protecting someone or avoiding it myself.”

Founder of “The San Angelo Freedom Defenders,” a group that hosted a rally last year to “end COVID tyranny,” Wallace reportedly helped organize multiple anti-mask and vaccine rallies including one called “The Freedom Rally,” which occurred days before he began experiencing symptoms. The event prided itself in being a protest against the “government being in control of our lives.”

I'm all out of shits to give for these people.

Biden to visit New Orleans to survey damage caused by Ida as death toll climbs

Damn I love that guy!

****************
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is scheduled to travel to New Orleans on Friday to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ida as the storm and its remnants have claimed more than 40 lives across multiple states.

According to the president's public schedule, Biden will meet with state and local leaders from communities impacted by the storm and will receive a briefing at St. John Parish's Emergency Operations Center. He is also scheduled to tour a neighborhood and survey the damage via an aerial tour.

snip

Biden has pointed to the increase in climate events and their growing devastation on communities as evidence of the need to pass his infrastructure proposal, a message he is likely to echo during his visit.

Biden said on Thursday that when Congress returns from recess, he would "press for their action" on his infrastructure agenda that would make critical infrastructure, such as electric grids and draining systems, "more resilient to these superstorms and wildfires and floods that are going to happen with increasing frequency and ferocity."

"We’re reminded that this isn’t about politics," Biden said. "Hurricane Ida didn’t care if you were a Democrat or Republican, rural or urban. Its destruction is everywhere."

Ivermectin: A little problem with its use to treat coronavirus. Any DU doctors or scientists ....

.... please check in and let me know where I am wrong.

Now Ivermectin is used as a dewormer for horses and it goes after parasites and worms in the horse's gut
(digestive system).



The C-19 virus is taken into our respiratory system through the mouth and or nose and then it is taken on down
to the lungs where the virus attacks the epithelial cells and then the person gets the disease.



Even if Ivermectin works on C-19 it goes into the wrong area of the body that needs to be treated when taken orally.

BTW if any anti-vax MAGA person wants to make it work better then they might want think about grinding it up and smoking it.
