Oh, brother, I promise you -- it's A LOT MORE than 11 GOP Senators that are Quislings. Going to be well into the 30s AT LEAST. They just sat back there and in the cloak room and cast lots to see who publicly outs themselves this time. Wash, rinse, repeat.
You know what, we don't have time to mess around and are hanging by a string here, so here's my current GOP Senate ratings:
Can be usually counted on to have our backs when it matters most regardless of situation (4):
Tom Cotton
Ted Cruz
Josh Hawley
Rand Paul
Excellent on most things, but every so often has you scratching your head at inopportune times (2):
Ron Johnson
Mike Lee
The list of Senate Republicans you would want to go to battle with and feel confident trusting them independent of baby-sitting ends here.
The Trey Gowdy all hat no cattle club. Know how to sling a sound bite, and get booked on certain Fox shows to build cred with our base, but then stab our base in the back (5):
Lindsey Graham
John Kennedy
Rick Scott
Tim Scott
Thom Tillis
Really good on some things that matter but in the end play ball with swampy leadership way too much, which means with better leadership they'd probably be better (6):
Marsha Blackburn
Joni Ernst
Charles Grassley
Marco Rubio
Pat Toomey
Tommy Tuberville
A true conservative, but sadly decided to let Trump Derangement Syndrome ruin him like it did Justin Amash (1):
Ben Sasse
Absolutely hate our base at least as much as the Democrats do (6):
Roy Blount
Richard Burr
John Cornyn
Mitch McConnell
Lisa Murkowski
Mitt Romney
Would literally stand on a street corner propositioning Johns with green lipstick, while smoking Newport Lights if McConnell told them to, so it doesn't matter what they believe (3):
James Lankford
Rob Portman
John Thune
No excuse to be representing a red state and should be primaried out immediately (20):
John Barrasso
John Boozman
Mike Braun
Kevin Cramer
Mike Crapo
Steve Daines
Deb Fischer
Bill Hagerty
John Hoeven
Cindy Hyde-Smith
Jim Inhofe
James Lankford
Cynthia Lummis
Shelley Moore-Capito
Jim Risch
Mike Rounds
Richard Shelby
Dan Sullivan
Roger Wicker
Todd Young
Is only a Republican because they're not connected/talented enough to get elected a Democrat in their state (1):
Susan Collins
And no, I'm not sorry I hurt anyone's feelings. My kids' futures are hanging in the balance, if you're butthurt you (or the politician you let fool you) is offended, apologize to them.

I told my audience many months ago this was my hypothesis on the true origins of Covid-19, mainly because it explains pretty much everything -- starting with Fauci's dissembling. But a chimeric Frankenstein creation story would also explain the current troubling global data.
Meaning that I believe these gain-of-function spillover potential chimeras were attempts to create preemptive vaccines for the next SARS and MERS level event. And that's what I think Covid-19 is, and why it is so variant resistant now. It's the Alpha (superior) strain.
This is the most important story in the world right now. Barring a new war or the return of Christ, the origins of this virus is the most important story of my lifetime.
Michigan also reports that just .02% of its hospitalizations since January 15th were fully vaccinated. This suggests the vaccines in Michigan have lost at 25% of their effectiveness against preventing hospitalizations in just the last 30 days.
275 of Michigan’s 1,043 total fully vaccinated hospitalizations have occurred in just the last 30 days. The other 768 occurred between January 15-August 6 (or 203 days).
Two-third of American adult are fully vaccinated, too, as well as over 80% of seniors (most vulnerable). In no scientific text book/process does vaccinating a clear majority of adults & super majority of vulnerables lead to this kind of result.
Something. Ain't. Right.
Some will look at these numbers and say the CFR is down from 2% last year at this time to 1% now, and that is the success of the vaccines. That is a valid point, to a point. However, then you also have to acknowledge the vaccines do not thwart transmission effectively.
The progressive site has AT LEAST nailed Fauci for lying to Congress. And confirms what I've said for months: it's not just gain-of-function research but its goal -- specifically gauging the "spillover potential" of these viruses from bats to humans.
What this means, as we pointed out in our best-selling book "Faucian Bargain" almost 6 months ago, is that the specific type of gain-of-function research they were doing had AS ITS GOAL the creation in the lab of such a virus.
They were specifically prompting a "spillover" event. They specifically wanted to know what caused these viruses to move from bats to humans. They were specifically provoking that outcome, so it wasn't an accident. The leak may have been, but not the outcome.
Israel, where over 70% of all adults are fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, has recorded 280 deaths with Covid the past four weeks. Israel only recorded 108 deaths with Covid the previous 13 weeks before that combined.
If I'm reading the Hebrew translation into English of the Israeli Ministry of Health dashboard correctly, and that could be a big if, it appears unvaccinated deaths are running about 2-1 ahead of partially or fully vaxxed per 100k people so far in August.
For example, yesterday Israel reported 34 deaths per 100k: 19 unvaccinated, 9 partially vaccinated, 6 fully vaccinated. So even as its transmission efficacy dramatically declines, Pfizer appears to be providing some decent death efficacy over there.
967 people died with Covid in U.S. yesterday. Let's just assume all unvaccinated. About 51% of U.S. population is fully vaxxed, which means 161.2 million people aren't. Here were your odds of dying with Covid in the U.S. yesterday:
Vaxxed: 0%
Unvaxxed: .006%
Obviously that .006% number isn't stratified for age or co-morbidity, but it does tell you why there's vaccine hesitancy and it isn't ignorance. It's people weighing the long-term risk of injecting experimental tech on its third booster, vis-a-vis the current risks of the virus.
And since transmission efficacy for these vaccines has severely waned, this is no longer about "you're gonna kill grandma or your fat friend." This is really and purely a personal decision for each individual's bodily autonomy.
