Tell Me Again

So please, tell me again that the vaccine is all about the science.

Every.

Single.

Day.

We see another example (scroll down just a bit) of how the getting the vaccine has morphed from "This needs to be done" to get us back to "normal" to a mandate "This will be done,... Or else!!!" Penn State University has announced that if you have not been vaccinated or have not provided a negative weekly test result you will been barred from attending classes. REMOTELY. Yes, PSU has decided to become part of the tyrannical edicts and have barred and removed students who don't toe the line, even though they are only doing their course work via computer.

Conspiracy?

It is kind of interesting times we live in. 

Last year, as covid-19 hit, there were many who stated various so-called conspiracy theories: 

The virus was man made. 

Vaccine passports were going to be a thing. 

The stimulus checks and plus up of unemployment benefits were going to create a labor shortage once the economy started showing signs of recovery.

Missing Ballots

According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission nearly 15 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. These are ballots delivered to the wrong addresses,  sent to vacant locations, sent to registered voters who have died, and some ballots that were never requested, were never returned. 

This doesn't necessarily show that widespread fraud DID occur, but it does show that mail in ballots, not properly handled, can create some chaos. Furthermore, there is no tracking system that shows whether or not these missing ballots were used. Where the fraud might rear it ugly head is that these unaccounted ballots could be used for nefarious purposes. Also, if these ballots, that were intended for actual voters, didn't get delivered properly, those people were unable to cast their vote. And remember, the overall difference in 2020 was supposedly about eight million.

A Difference

While the offices aren't quite on the same level, it is noteworthy to see how the press covered the nomination and subsequent election of Barack Obama and the insurgent recall candidacy of California governor hopeful Larry Elder.

I'm 2007 the press hammered home that Obama was the first black candidate from a major political party. Never mind that Alan Keyes ran for the Republican nomination in 1996, 2000, and 2008. Obama was a first when he accepted the nomination back in 2008. In rereading some of the coverage from that time, and especially on the day he was nominated, it was quite obvious the media was over the moon.
