Many progressives are getting a good chuckle out of the allegation that the folks who took part in the “No Kings” rally were paid to participate. The woman with the sign at left sure has a smile on her face.
Even professional comedians are getting in on the act. Here’s the New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz from The Borowitz Report:
George Soros has been forced to declare bankruptcy after paying over seven million people to attend the No Kings protests, the billionaire confirmed on Monday.
“When I agreed to pay everyone who showed up at these things, I had no idea so many people were going to accept my offer,” Soros admitted. “But a deal’s a deal.”
The legendary investor said that paying No Kings participants had required him to liquidate his most prized holdings, including his share in the orbital lasers operated by the Rothschild banking family.
Soros revealed that paying the five million Antifa members at the rallies cost him “a pretty penny,” adding, “They may be anarchists, but they don’t work for free.”
The “No Kings” Participants Weren’t Paid, but the Subject Has Led to Humor
American workers who are facing agonizing and preventable deaths predominantly vote for the party that is condemning them to that horrible fate.
That’s just one of the many disgusting facets of today’s life in the U.S.
Oh my goodness! Is “Liz Churchill” right?
We hear all the time that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served Americans’ health needs under seven presidents, created COVID-19 in a Chinese lab and deliberately inflicted it on U.S. citizens, killing millions. The anti-science right is cranking up the animus against the man, and now, tens of millions of Americans are desperate to have him sentenced to prison.
A few facts are presented below. What they seem to show is that whoever authored the meme here simply made up lies that would serve to undermine our scientific method and make all this crap fodder for the Fox News / MAGA crowd.
Unvaccinated individuals face a significantly higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 compared to vaccinated individuals. Historical and public health data consistently show that vaccines offer robust protection against the most severe outcomes of the virus. [1, 2, 3]
- Early Variant Spikes: During earlier waves like the Delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that unvaccinated individuals were up to 29 times more likely to be hospitalized. [1]
- Severe Complications: Hospitalized unvaccinated patients are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe disease, spend more days in the ICU, and have a higher likelihood of complications. [1]
- Financial Burden: A study by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker noted that unvaccinated patients historically accounted for the vast majority of preventable COVID-19 health system costs due to lengthy, intensive hospital stays. [1]
- Elevated Death Rates: Data compiled by platforms like Our World in Data demonstrate a clear gap in mortality, with unvaccinated individuals dying at significantly higher rates per capita. [1]
Meet Reid Rasner (photo at left). He’s a MAGA Republican running for congress in Wyoming–that’s a good fit.
He faces three challenges, however:
1) He’s openly gay, a terrible fit for Wyoming,
2) His politics appeals only to the true idiot. While it’s true that voters there are not well-educated, they’re aware and alert. They’ve seen trickle-down economics fail consistently since the days of Roland Reagan, and they’ll be very hard to convince that democratic socialism as it’s implemented around the world makes the nation’s citizens poor, and
3) I hate to judge a book by its cover, but he looks like a dullard.
