Trump loyalists and doctors embark on 'health and freedom' tour. Trump loyalists team up with anti-vax doctors for ‘health and freedom’ tour excerpt: "Top loyalists to Donald Trump, who frequently push lies about election fraud, have joined forces with conservative doctors touting unproven Covid curesand vaccine skepticism, and like-minded evangelical ministers at a series of events across the US this summer. The conservative “ReAwaken America” tour – featuring ex-general Michael Flynn and top Donald Trump loyalist donors – has held events in Florida, Michigan and other states. It underscores how Trump’s allies, anti-vaccine doctors and conservative preachers are amplifying baseless claims that are hurting the nation’s public health and its democracy with potentially far-reaching impacts, say pandemic and election experts. The tour comes as Covid cases soar and as Republican drives to pass state laws weakening voting rights increase. While the tour has touted Flynn’s key role, a Tulsa Oklahoma media figure and Christian entrepreneur named Clay Clark has been instrumental in orchestrating the gatherings – also dubbed “health and freedom” conferences – using his “ThriveTime” podcast and radio show and Charisma News coverage.
Those who were sick before the tour or sickened by the tour are hosting health and freedom 'bed-ins' at ICU's. image:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/09/02/justice-j6-rally-capitol-riot/ excerpt: "Law enforcement authorities are monitoring plans by supporters of former president Donald Trump to rally outside the U.S. Capitol later this month to argue that the hundreds of people charged in the Jan. 6 insurrection are political prisoners, an assertion that has exploded beyond far-right rallying cries and into mainstream conservatism. Look Ahead America, a nonprofit group founded and led by Matt Braynard, a former Trump campaign operative, is planning a “Justice for J6” rally on Sept. 18 to bring its message to Washington. Braynard’s followers believe many of the more than 570 people who have been charged with federal crimes in the attack were nonviolent and “reasonably believed they had permission” to enter the Capitol, according to a Jan. 29 letter Braynard sent to the Department of Justice and FBI. Braynard’s letter demands prosecutors drop all charges. Braynard’s group requested to hold its rally at Union Square, the public park by the Capitol Reflecting Pool, according to a permit application his group submitted to the U.S. Capitol Police Board and provided to The Washington Post. Although local authorities have not provided crowd estimates, Look Ahead America estimates that 700 people will attend — up from an earlier estimate of 500 in a previous permit application. Plans for a counterprotest began to circulate online this week."

Everybody else reasonably believed they didn't have that permission... including the authorities. So, fuck these guys.
Account of Erin Schaff, staff photographer at the Capitol. ‘Senate Being Locked Down’: Inside a Harrowing Day at the Capitol excerpt: "Grabbing my press pass, they saw that my ID said The New York Times and became really angry. They threw me to the floor, trying to take my cameras. I started screaming for help as loudly as I could. No one came. People just watched. At this point, I thought I could be killed and no one would stop them. They ripped one of my cameras away from me, broke a lens on the other and ran away. After that I was hyperventilating, unsure of what to do. I knew I needed to get away from the mob and hide my broken camera so I wouldn’t be targeted again. I ran into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s suite, but people were vandalizing her office, so I kept moving. Walking out to her balcony facing west toward the National Mall, I saw a mass of people covering the inaugural stage. I found a spot to hide my camera in there, then stood watching the crowd from the balcony and filming from my phone, which was all I had left. “This will be the start of a civil war revolution,” a man next to me said. At that point, the Capitol Police had started deploying pepper spray or tear gas, and I knew I needed to find a place to hide. I didn’t know where I could go since I no longer had my congressional credentials. I ran to the third floor, opened the first door I saw and hid in a hallway. I called my husband, who told me to stay calm and find a safer spot. But then the police found me. I told them that I was a photojournalist and that my pass had been stolen, but they didn’t believe me. They drew their guns, pointed them and yelled at me to get down on my hands and knees. As I lay on the ground, two other photojournalists came into the hall and started shouting “She’s a journalist!” The officers told us it wasn’t safe to leave, and helped us find a room to barricade ourselves in. The two other photographers grabbed my hands and told me it would be OK, and to stay with them so they could vouch for me. I’ll never forget their kindness in that moment. —Erin Schaff, staff photographer"

Peters still has her clerk position at Mesa, even after being missing from work all of this time. Voting Data From A Colorado County Was Leaked Online. Now, The Clerk Is In Hiding excerpt: "Peters is being sheltered by Lindell, a serial promoter of false election fraud claims. He says Peters fears for her safety if she returns home. Local county commissioners say Peters needs to return to oversee the other parts of her job and the staff. "She's in hiding by her own admission," said Commissioner Scott Mcinnis, who like Peters is a Republican. "We want to make sure we take the threats against her very, very seriously. We want to make sure she's protected, but she needs to come back to work.""
The formula for Mu in physics is F = Mu (F N) the F represents we're fucked. Fauci ‘Keeping a Very Close Eye’ on New Coronavirus Variant Mu Top U.S. health officials are "keeping a very close eye" on a new coronavirus variant called mu, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday. But it's not an "immediate threat." The World Health Organization earlier this week named the mu variant a "variant of interest" after it was first detected in Colombia in January and has now been found in 39 countries throughout South America and Europe. But the new variant is rarely seen in the U.S., Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a news briefing Thursday. Still, officials are paying attention to it. "Even though it has not – in the essence – taken hold to any extent here, we always pay attention to, at all times, variants," Fauci said. Fauci explained that although laboratory data suggests that the mu variant has a "constellation of mutations" which may allow it to evade certain antibodies, there is not enough clinical data to support this at present.
Voting Data From A Colorado County Was Leaked Online. Now, The Clerk Is In Hiding excerpt: "Earlier this week, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold filed a lawsuit to officially prevent Peters from having any role in the county's upcoming fall election. Mesa County is a conservative area where voters strongly backed Trump last fall. While some residents say they want Peters voted out of office or recalled, she also has vocal backers. Recently, several hundred supporters gathered for a rally outside of the clerk's office, chanting, "We love Tina!""
Trump spawned this problem with his stolen election narratives. Voting Data From A Colorado County Was Leaked Online. Now, The Clerk Is In Hiding excerpt: "Historically, Masterson said Democratic and Republican officials have typically administered elections in a professional, nonpartisan way. "Because they know that their job is to be protectors of democracy, of our system, of our elections. And this is the first time in my memory that I can recall an election official brazenly shirking that duty in pursuit of their own benefit in such a way." This incident has made Masterson fearful about the 2022 elections. "[F]or these ongoing conspiracies and lies to continue to be perpetrated for political and financial gain, is sad and sells out our democracy at a time when election officials risk their health and safety to do this." Masterson says if there isn't accountability in Mesa County, he worries other partisan-minded election officials could be inspired to act the same way."
Thanks to Donald Duck running his mouth nonstop and being elected, idiots like this are persuading themselves that anything goes, while my work is how to encourage them to shoot themselves more often in the foot. With a smile and laugh. Why should Donald Duck be the only one to have fun?
Trump was at a rally in AZ filled with college students. He was popping off various bigoted names for the virus to test the waters and see which one received the biggest reaction.
