Regeneron: MAGA Media's Latest Hydroxychloroquine

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment has become MAGA's media alternative to being vaccinated as you'll hear from Fox and Friends and Hannity:

Notice that Hannity calls it "mono COLONIAL" antibody therapy, apparently to make it appear more palatable to all the 1776 Trump patriots out there...

Biden Administration May Compel Commercial US Airlines To...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
help transport Afghan evacuees.
Government intrusion and overreach into the private sector!
So it's the law that they CAN do it but should they?
What's the conservative MAGA media going to say on this one? Will they bitch if the private sector charges? Should they? What's a con supposed to think? Oh, wait maybe that's what governments are supposed to do...
"To aid with transporting Afghan evacuees, the White House may invoke the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, which was created in 1952 to assist the military during emergencies following the post-World War II Berlin Airlift. The program could facilitate almost 20 commercial jets from five airlines to help transport evacuees from bases in the region, according to the official."

Why Would You Want To Take A Vacation THERE!?

Posted By Rod Kaufman
“I just found out that they left" 
"An American left behind after U.S. troops completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on Monday described her fear and frustration during an interview with CNN."
"the woman, identified as Sara, who was an interpreter in the country for 14 years, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Monday night."
America has recently evacuated 116,000 + people out of Afghanistan. Most of them in the past week. And she didn't know?
That must be Biden's fault, too...
Oh wait, an adult with access via email, text, phone, computer and the like "didn't know". Planes and helicopters above? So what? Nobody in the neighborhood mentioned a change in government?

It Is Going Along Beautifully, Like The Berlin Air Lift

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Hmm, there were far more suicide attacks under Trump's watch in Afghanistan with a much greater US military presence. 
That said, the airlift has been doing remarkably well and the US military is performing brilliantly...

"CLAIM: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s wife is the chief of bioethics and human subjects research at the National Institutes of Health. That means she’s the one who rubber stamps exceptions to normal drug and vaccine testing."
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The COVID-19 vaccines received emergency use approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, not the NIH."

 A teacher? LOL She heads up the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Her role seems to be to preside over the ethical questions of testing vaccines. This at the least seems to present a conflict of interest. It does not inspire confidence given the questions surrounding Fauci and his involvement with the Wuhan lab so yeah....the optics do smell.
You need to look at the AP fact check again.
The "optics" only smell in the swamp known as MAGA media...
