Not sure why it got cut off...so here is the first part: Many of you saw the video I posted a few days ago. Like everyone else, we are complying and have separated. As we do that, I see a ton of misinformation and downright crap on my feeds.
So…I want to provide you all with what I've heard. I don’t
want to hear the political crap on either side.
SO Here is what I compiled from 4-6 solid sources on the front lines and NOT politically connected. I know them all first hand I and know them to be fair as hell added a few other feedbacks as well.
The longest and most important info/questions may be at the end.Newest stuff first.Republicans in the Senate were pissed with McConnell and his attempts to add crap to the Republican bill early on. The media pressure and a few who don’t like Mitch got him to carve a ton of pork
The pressure from the media and Dems and a few Republicans did twist his arm to do this. By doing this there was a bipartisan agreement in place. That changed when
Nancy got back into town. Dems got pressured big time to back away from agreement until the House version was done.
In that version…meant to held Coronavirus issues, the 1,100 page bill included and you can decide if you agree with her version or not. I don’t have the Republican one cause it never got pushed forward, working on getting the verbiage for the bipartisan one.
Here’s Nancy’s:
- Payment for up to $10,000 in student loans
- Same-day voter registration
- The expansion of wind and solar tax credits
- Post Office Bailout
- Money for Planned Parenthood
- Retirement plans for community newspaper employees including McClatchy pension relief
- Fuel-emissions standards for the airline industry
- "Diversity Data" for any corporation that receives federal aid related to

1/8 CONTEXT By now you've all read about Johns Hopkins study...Peer reviewed...but there's a massive lack of context. It's all politics. SO...I did some reporting...and got this from my sources....on the front line of this since day 1...cont...
2/8 The study: “lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
3/8 CONTEXT "Adam this is rare for academics to come out so strongly with a finding that goes against the narrative
There are certainly pros and cons to meta-analyses in general and, specifically on this topic today, there will inevitably be pushback on this paper.
1/5 We said we'd never forget...yet many have. 20 years later we are more divided. 20 years later we are still vulnerable. 20 years later we have allowed hypocrisy and finger pointing and politics and ignorance to overwhelm us. BUT...we can still overcome.
2/5 We can still turn this around by remembering that day. The day that horrified us, yet brought us together. We did not deserve to be attacked and that horrific attack on innocents needs to again drive us to be better, to do better.
3/5 Their memories are the energy that can encourage you to reach out a hand, rather than point a finger. Their memories should drive you to understand and learn and respectfully debate, not judge.
All of our lives changed that day....even lives thousands of miles away...
1/5 Now back to Covid…and I am not an anti vaxxer..also not a follower either..as many of you know. So…here’s what I’ve got on the boosters.:
According to my high level experts: HHS said “ we have concluded that a booster shot will be needed…
2/5. we are prepared to offer booster shots the week of September 20th…” Subtle but Huge problem: this is Before (ie without) FDA having reviewed the Safety and Efficacy data for booster shots. This is a preemptive Fed action. Unheard of.
3/5 Two high level people in FDA vaccine division resigned because of this. FDA is part of HHS. Also FDA said “… subject to FDA conducting an independent evaluation and determination…” But FDA Already made/published the conclusion: get a booster.
1/4 For anyone questioning…this story is exactly what’s happening..a family begging for U.S. help. As of today, the White House changed the standards for which Afghans can enter into Kabul Airport at the behest of the Taliban, therefore, the family is no longer eligible to enter
2/4 Fahim Masoud Worked for the U.S. military since he was 17 as a translator in Afghanistan. He
Earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in the US & commissioned as a U.S. Army Officer and earned his TS-SCI clearance
3/4 His immediate family (including mother, father, two sisters, and a brother) face possible death after the 31st withdrawal due to his work with us. The new US rules means his family will be left behind if something is not done to ensure their evacuation out of Afghanistan
1/4 From a friend who is former CIA and still connected massively in Afghanistan. "We are about to abandon Americans" The Admin refuses at this hour to change the August 31st drawdown date, which means it begins almost immediately.
2/4 This decision is NOT conditions based and advice from some people at high levels in US Intel and also our military is being "disregarded". Also "Anybody not out by the time the last plane leaves gets cut away."
3/4 In Kabul processing of Afghans has stopped.
The Panjshir Valley will likely be overrun soon. People trying to save high value targets like women who held high positions, or people whom worked with the US are not being allowed to move them.
1/6 Havent written a Covid update in a bit. This thread is from the same people who I’ve been getting my info since last March 2020. If you’ve followed me you know their info has been spot freaking on and not politicized in any way. Here is their latest:
2/6 On Delta from my scientists and doctor connections…Biggest top-line conclusion: vaccines have turned this into essentially a “common cold.” There is a “wave” of new/Delta cases, but hospitalizations and especially deaths (total number and relative to number infected)
3/6 are significantly lower than seen in the previous waves; by a lot. Daily reported deaths in US attributed to COVID is 310; too many of course but not far from daily auto deaths (about 100) and daily OD deaths (also about 100)
