“They wasted nearly $6 million to tell us what we already knew, meanwhile exacerbating an already unhealthy political environment,” state Sen. Paul Boyer (R), an audit opponent, told The Hill in a text message."

A US government fish hatchery that plants trout in lakes is located just outside a small town about 20 miles or so from me. I used to take my daughter there from time to time when she was a kid and we'd feed the trout. We'd take some change and a cup and you'd purchase a handful of food pellets from a dispenser and throw them into the lanes and watch the trout break water in a rapid feeding frenzy. It was a lot of fun. It's interesting how they plant trout in remote lakes: they fly over the lake in a plane with a tank full of water and then dump them out in midair. Some trout die in the process but most make it alive into the lake.

Given the comments from the local respondents in this forum, it's quite "logical" from their point of view that the process of trout sterilization is likely the first step in control of our lives by the gubermint in limiting the number of trout caught and consumed on any given day. Thus, we have all unwittingly become "leftist tools" whether we like it or not. The practice obviously goes hand in hand with government mandates to vaccinate against covid as we all become magnetized and connected to 5G in the process for purposes of tracking by the gubermint. We need to be extending the concept of "my body, my choice" to trout. Additionally, the protections afforded by "my body, my choice" does not extend to the reproductive rights of women, only to the reproductive rights of the covid virus...   

"The coronavirus pandemic will be over within a year, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said on Thursday, as more vaccines become available and vaccines are approved for children, he told the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) newspaper."
"Bancel estimated that by the middle of next year there should be enough vaccine doses so that "everyone on earth can get vaccinated" and boosters should also be possible as required, allowing a return to the routine by this time next year."
"Those who do not get vaccinated will immunize themselves naturally because the Delta variant is so contagious," Bancel told NZZ. "In this way, we will end up in a situation similar to that of the flu. You can either get vaccinated and have a good winter, or you don't do it and risk getting sick and possibly even ending up in hospital. Let's not forget that tens of thousands die from the flu every year in Europe and the US."
"In response to a question about how safe the vaccine is, Bancel explained that half of the injected molecules break down with four hours of vaccination, with the rest breaking down after 48 hours. Independent and verified studies determined years ago that Moderna's mRNA does not enter the DNA nucleus or cause long-term damage."

"Although the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control indicates on its website that ivermectin is not an evidence-based treatment for COVID-19, the agency can’t stop providers from prescribing it or punish them for doing so, said Dr. Edward Simmer, the department’s director.
“We don’t tell providers what to prescribe or not,” Simmer said."
"Still, South Carolina has seen an increase this year in people requiring emergency care for exposure to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that major studies have shown is not effective in treating COVID-19, according to the Department of Health and Environmental Control."
"several representatives for medical and pharmacy licensing boards, as well as the South Carolina Medical Association, said they were unaware of any doctors or pharmacists who had faced professional consequences or complaints over the unproven treatments."
"One family medicine physician in Spartanburg, Dr. Robert Jackson, claimed he was among the most prolific prescribers of ivermectin in his hospital system but had been warned against it by the hospital."

"The clinical efficacy and utility of ivermectin in SARS CoV-2 infected patients are unpredictable at this stage, as we are dealing with a completely novel virus. However, repurposing existing drugs as possible COVID-19 treatment is astute usage of existing resources, and we await results of well-designed large scale randomized controlled clinical trials exploring treatment efficacy of ivermectin to treat SARS-CoV-2."

"The best solutions to help protect children are the measures public health experts have repeatedly said will work to bring an end to the pandemic, doctors testified: getting vaccinated, social distancing and mask wearing."
"If I told you we had a drug that 70% of the time would prevent COVID and almost always prevent death from COVID unless you had other underlying conditions, I think we’d jump all over that, wouldn’t we?” said Dr. Anne Cook, an internal medicine physician and president of the state Board of Medical Examiners. “That’s what the vaccine is.”

Following the GOP playbook, he continues to repeat the same falsehoods over and over again so more and more people believe it...

Kaleigh, Trump's pick for the "best people" for his favorite spokesperson while in office, blamed Biden for a dramatic rise in murders in 2020. Er, ah, Trump was president then, not Joe Biden:

This is a left-leaning professor whining because his side does not have the Supreme Court locked down.  It is partisan hit-pieces like this that sully (politicize) the reputation of the Court, not any speech by ACB.

Jim,
While there's obviously a case to be made for the argument of a de facto approval by the conservative majority of the court for a decision of the constitutionality of the Texas law on abortion by their tortuous reasoning behind their decision, I think the larger issue here is exactly what the author is addressing in his article. That is, at a time of negative views of the supreme court by majorities of those in multiple polls that certain members of the supreme court are partisan hacks, where do the members in question, obviously acutely aware of the controversy swirling around them, choose to take their road show to? Amy takes hers to the conservative center that is named after the man who arguably got her the job in the first place. At this time, given the present circumstances of the conservative majorities decision on the Texas law, choosing that particular venue packed with a conservative audience, is the very antithesis of combatting the view that such justices are primarily partisan in their decision making processes. So, in other words, Barrett is on the road to dispel the notion of what the majority of those polled believe and then she turns around and heads for a friendly conservative audience in the McConnell center. Geez!...   

What do yall think of these judges?
