Really serious question about RSV.

Is RSV taking a greater toll on states where there was stronger resistance to vaxxing and MASKING during the pandemic?

I believe masking was an important reason I haven't suffered from my annual sinus infections which always make me stay in bed for at least two weeks out of every year and sometimes more.

Beginning to look like Independents are just Republicans who don't want to say it in public.

If they are truly "independent thinkers" it just baffles me how any of them could choose to vote Republican at this critical time in our nation's history. Where have they been living the past 6 years?

Having new angst for VP Harris's safety. The seemingly weak protections for our Dem Officials is

worrisome. I still can't get the tunnel accident out of my mind that involved the VP motorcade. I still worry for her and her family just as I worry for all our elected officials. The courts and law enforcement do not seem to be on the side of the lawful. The latest revelation about the Capitol Policeman who sent friendly warning messages to the insurrectionists is a testament to not trusting them.

The Silent Corner: A Novel of Suspense by Dean Koontz

Nothing I have read lately quite explains the danger, debauchery, cruelty of the absolute power that seems to be the motivating force behind today's MAGA RW GOP. Chilling. Fiction but how close are we to it with this upcoming election?

Take the message door to door, to the streets, to the churches, to the town hall meetings,

everywhere you go to speak about the Nov. elections.

This is from a post I posted back in June. Happy to see some Dem pundits saying the same thing now.

Reasons why voters should vote AGAINST Republicans from top to bottom in ALL elections, especially now.
Same people who voted to overturn Roe are the same people who voted to overturn

Voting Rights
Obamacare
Cut Social Security
Cut consumer protection regulations
Cut taxes for the wealthy
Cut childcare credit
Cut school lunches
Cut mental health funding
Stop Gun control and reform.

I will keep reminding folks ...

i will vote in person on election day and hope to have MAGA challenge me.

WTF. Voters, challenge them back. Ask for their Real.ID and threaten a citizen's arrest if they interfere with your being able to vote.

A woman, a doctor, and a local politician walk into a bar...

I can see the T-shirts now.
