Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:

Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of two residents, one in their 60s, and one aged 80 or older, due to COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to all who have lost a loved one to the virus.

Three new hospitalizations — two residents in their 70s, and one aged 80 or older — were reported. An additional 114 new cases of COVID-19 were also reported, bringing to 12,733 the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus.

The California Department of Public Health has updated its guidance on isolation and quarantine for workplace settings aimed at allowing certain vaccinated people to continue working under specific circumstances if they have been exposed to the virus and don’t develop symptoms.

State health officials also recently expanded booster eligibility to children aged 12 to 15 if it has been at least five months since they completed their primary vaccination series. Appointments can be made on the state’s updated vaccination portal My Turn.

Public Health is currently monitoring a surge in cases that officials are attributing to the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

Health officials remind residents that hospitalizations, rather than positive case numbers, are the best indicator of how the county is being impacted in the most recent surge of cases. Vaccines and boosters provide an increased level of protection from Omicron, Delta and other variants.

Those individuals who are fully vaccinated or boosted typically develop milder symptoms, shorter illness duration and have fewer hospitalizations and less severe outcomes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rates of hospitalizations by vaccination status, unvaccinated adults are greater than 8 times more likely to be hospitalized than those adults who are fully vaccinated. Locally, that number is currently 17 times higher.

Public Health officials continue to stress that residents, especially those who are unvaccinated, work to protect themselves and their families from all COVID-19 variants by following mask requirements in public settings, socially distancing and getting vaccinated or boosted when eligible to do so.

As always, Humboldt County’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. Although walk-ins are allowed at most regular Public Health clinics and many pharmacy vaccination sites, an increase in demand for boosters has caused delays at some locations. As a result, appointments are required for pediatric clinics and for clinics at Public Health’s main office. Appointments are strongly recommended for all other clinics and are the best way to ensure a shot is available during your visit. Appointments can be made at MyTurn.ca.gov.

Vaccines, including boosters, are available at local pharmacies. To check the availability of a specific vaccine, visit the vaccines.gov page, or text your ZIP code to 438829 to locate a nearby pharmacy offering vaccines.

I can’t wait for my free Biden masks to arrive. Will they be “made in China” like Pelosi is giving out in the House? The Wuhan Flu came from China so how apropos we buy billions of masks from them. And there’s the billion covid home test kits Biden is going to ship sometime at the end of this month. Then we each get eight free test kits a month from our pharmacy beginning the 15th. Thanks Joe, but who’s making bank on all this free shit that’s mostly going to end up in the landfill? China again?

Willie, you have to understand that some of these folks have no problems buying MAGA hats or “Let’s Go Brandon” signs that are made in China. They only have a problem with Chinese made products when a Democrat buys something.

It doesn’t matter that the masks were purchased in bulk by the General Services Administration, likely on contracts authorized by the previous administration and that Pelosi had nothing to do with the purchases.

So glad you brought that up, the cult thing.

“I say he (Trump) has responsibility,” House Minority Leader McCarthy said on a local radio station in Bakersfield, California, on January 12 of last year, about Jam6. “He told me personally that he does …

And, “Let me be clear to you and I have been very clear to the President. He bears responsibility for his words and actions. No if ands or buts,” McCarthy told House Republicans on January 11, 2021.

Uh-oh. Now he’s in trouble with the boss, scared of him. And scared of the Jan6 Committee. Wayward factions of The Cult, who stepped out of line, running scared. They’ll turn on each other, just watch. To save their political skins, or stay out of jail.

Uh, no. Cuz Biden was far far enough from Trump, Trump’s lies, Trumps on-stage idiocy (oh, the suffering, through his covid press conferences 😂), his egomaniacal member-stroking, and so on and so forth. Election was his to lose, and he did. Boring Biden, stuck with cleaning up a bumbled mess.

Trump is still here, fresh as cow dung in a misty Bottom, only old when not just tanned over but browned to dust then bloweth off in historical winds as one of the worst Presidency’s in American Hx.

I’ve read up, his foibles, there’s the Frontline piece, which is good (balanced). He’s had a speech impediment all his life, is older and less smooth talking (less … slick, but not nasty like …). He has his faults. But wasn’t brought up with a Silver Spoon in his mouth; worked his way up, from the bottom. Served well as a Vice, helping Obama navigate the Congress. Well liked in the Congress and Senate (teal Conservatives including McCain, Graham b4 he licked Trump, etc). Knows great (immense) adversity given the tragic losses of spouse and children, and ups and downs while in the Senate. Knows the ropes, knows how to play with others, how to work with others, how to reach across the aisle. Trump? What’s in his wallet. Only money, greed for power and adoration of sycophants, infant diapers.

Biden had a significant stutter when he was a kid and has worked throughout his life to minimize its impact on his public speaking.

The aneurysms occurred in 1988 and were corrected surgically at the same time. There’s been no reoccurrence.

He is old, relatively speaking — he turned 79 last November.

The term “senile” is obsolete and imprecise. If you mean “dementia” instead, there’s no evidence to support that. If you just mean he’s old, well, that’s kind of redundant, isn’t it. Trump is only 4 years younger.

So you’re in the 33% minority. Biden’s clearly getting the title of worst president in the history books. It’s not comical but elder abuse. Sit back and let’s see the disastrous end to this book, I’m guessing resignation before the end of his term for medical reasons.

Well, keep guessing. He is old, that’s fer sure. And not a good public speaker, probably a result of age and speech troubles early on (rarely wholly goes away). But he’s tough, can take a punch, in pretty good shape, and lots of experience. And, but, he’s working with a severely divided country, ongoing pandemic, Putin stirring shit up near Ukraine (serious issue, something most Americans have limited understanding of), and of course there’s China wanting to (justifiably) take back Taiwan, and on it goes. I don’t envy Biden. But we’ll see if the virus diminishes in punch and wanes enough in the months ahead, in conjunction with the GOP bringing its Trumpian bulldog puppies in the Congress to heal via Jan6 Commission conclusions. Regardless, I doubt Biden will run again. And I doubt Harris will honestly want to win if she runs in turn. Guessing a contested Dem primary, or Biden-Harris happily anointing somebody. Outcome? I’m guessing a centrist Republican, in the vein of a Romney type, will win. Might be worth it, to help bring the country at least a little closer to collective sanity.

Additional sedition charges ARE coming. The crimes WERE calculated and conducted by a Palm Beach resident and his cohorts, his little peeps carrying out the Carnage part. (It’s all on video, in texts, phone records, other documentation). Trump HAS ducked paying his fair share of taxes … with most Americans, including his base and the rest of us, paying more, including subsidizing him. NOT funny, any of it. And Kamala and Joe have NOTHING to do with it, even if they DID win the election.

Enjoy!

Hmm, well…
This definition seems to suggest otherwise:
“Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it.”

Rightwingers willl try to downplay or worm away, saying it’s all politics. That’s the going trend on the Hill anyway. Trying to salvage a half-sunk ship is all. Trump having blew it up, the proverbial “inside job”

“Trump pays his taxes. Do you think the IRS would let him get away with not paying taxes”, then, the pivot to Biden being responsible.

Cry me a River. Of crocodile tears. First the lie then the deflection. Niiice.

Tax law. Laughable, sure. So, let’s let the NY DA do it’s job, cleaning up. Then the IRS can begin to collect, via fines. Bring it. Oh, but now Trump is suing the DA. Why? Stalling the inevitable, tie the inevitable up in the courts for a little while. The Trump way, including to screw his workers, which he did for decades. You know, the you and me of the world, the little people. Leona Helmsley, eat yer heart out.

The NY DA has spent years investigating Trump’s misleading banks and tax officials about the value of his assets — inflating said assets to gain favorable loan terms or minimizing them to dodge taxes.

He was shocked he was picked, first to run, then as Prez. Bannon cooked him up to be a front runner, more than anyone. Know who Bannon was cooking up for 2012? Palin (can you believe it?). Bannon thinks Trump is an idiot, but a

Sunshine. I know you want your statements to be true but strangely it’s worth noting that people don’t think it’s true just because you say it. There’s a growing demographic of people who think they’ve stumbled on a tactic. Now.. it’s different if you actually believe other peoples fabricated realities and even if you believe your own fabrications. Either way, it doesn’t make it true or make others believe it. Does that make any sense to you?

Trump pays his taxes.

No, not really. The year he won the presidency he paid a total of $750. The same the following year. There are multiple examples of him committing fraud to under-report income to avoid taxes. If he had released his tax returns for public inspection, as other presidential candidates have, it would’ve been obvious. It’s why he’s fought so hard to keep them secret.

Do you think the IRS would let him get away with not paying taxes?

Yes, yes I do. One of the ploys used by the last administration was to gut the IRS enforcement division that is in charge of these kinds of things. One of the things the Biden administration has proposed is an increase in tax avoidance investigation and prosecution.

I’ve just started reading this.

“Governor Newsom’s overall package includes:
$1.2 BILLION: BOLSTER TESTING

  • Expand hours and capacity at testing sites throughout the state to help slow the spread.
  • Distribute millions of COVID-19 antigen tests to local health departments, community clinics and county offices of education and schools. This is critical to the state’s operational readiness and continued efforts to combat COVID-19, and it includes a $1.4 billion emergency appropriation request to the Legislature for California’s immediate needs.
  • Supporting the state’s testing facilities, including specimen collection and expanding capacity in order to meet demand.
  • Supporting state departments in testing their staff and congregate populations

$583 MILLION: GET MORE CALIFORNIANS VACCINATED & BOOSTED, COMBAT MISINFORMATION

  • Continue the “Vaccinate all 58” public education campaign to provide reliable information and build vaccine confidence while combating misinformation, all of which is in partnership with 250 ethnic media outlets.
  • Continue a robust community outreach and direct appointment assistance campaign by conducting door-to-door canvassing, phone banking and texting with over 700 CBOs and community partners in partnership with philanthropy.
  • In-home vaccination and testing programs to meet Californians where they’re at.
  • Provide free transportation to vaccination appointments throughout the state to help get more Californians vaccinated and boosted.’

There are several primary factors affecting the current inflation. All contribute to part of the inflationary pressures.

1) Base effect — in essence, prices dropped significantly during the onset of the pandemic because of decreased economic activity. This means the base level that increases are calculated on were lower than pre-pandemic so when prices recovered and then went up, the increases looked steeper than over the long-term.

2) Supply chain problems — these have been building as a result of disruptions to the just-in-time supply chain model businesses had been using where the parts and supplies were intended to be shipped precisely when they were needed. This was to avoid stockpiling inventory of parts (i.e. computer chips) so they didn’t have capital tied up in inventory. The pandemic disrupted this fragile network substantially so that when demand picked up quickly during the recovery, they couldn’t meet the backlog of orders. This led to decreased overall supply and a rise in prices.

3) Labor shortages — the pandemic was motivation to many to leave the workforce and change how they worked (or if they worked in the case of retirees). Work-from-home meant a lot more flexibility for many workers and decreased the supply of lower-level service and manufacturing employees. Some companies have been resistant to raising wages or improving working conditions despite record profits and so folks have been abandoning those jobs for others.

Combined it means prices are rising. The agency/department in charge of managing the money supply and dealing with inflation is the Federal Reserve Board. Of the current Fed Board of Governors, 1 was re-appointed by Biden but initially appointed by Trump. Three others were also appointed by Trump, and 1 was appointed by Obama. So 4 Trump-appointees and an Obama-appointee.

Now, who’s to blame?

So the nearly $3Trillion from the Tax Cut act couldn’t have contributed to it?

I mean, that was the argument for it at the time — that it would stimulate the economy even though the economy didn’t need stimulating at the time.

The difference is where the money went to. With the COVID stimulus, much of the money was in direct payments to those who made less than $75k per year, unemployment benefits, small businesses, and child credits.

For the tax act, most of the benefit went to corporations. Who do you care more about?

I don’t think it’s all Trump’s fault. I think the Republican devotion to corporate tax cuts in 2017 combined with an unpredictable pandemic and the chaotic responses in both administrations have contributed to the inflationary forces in play.

I believe someone on here said no Jan 6 rioters were charged with sedition. So it was OK.

That the AM said “Exploiting of the tragedy of all people who between 1933-45 suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany in a debate about vaccines & covid limitations in the time of global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decay”

The Congressman has since apologized.

It is more likely that any law used by the US to convict of sedition would be declared unconstitutional. “Over the course of the twentieth century, however, the Supreme Court moved away from the badtendency test and issued a series of rulings based on the theory that speech was protected as long as it did not incite or create immediate danger or harm—a principle some analysts have called the “clear and present danger test.” By the 1970s the principle that the First Amendment protects even advocacy of violent acts was firmly established.”
So, unless the prosecution can prove that not only words were used but actions followed that are not protected under the First Amendement, it just won’t fly. At least not past an appeal to the Supreme Court. And wearing tactical gear and/or trespassing do not sedition make howver much it scared the Congress. Nor does the words to incite violence against the Congress constitute sedition however sincerely the speaker means it to. Nor does fighting with police do it. Actual violence against the government in order to take over the government such as the Puerto Rican Nationalist who actual shot members of Congress and the public in their bid to separate Puerto Rico from the US by violence. Even then Obama commuted the sentence of the man who was convicted then based on a campaign of terrorism for many years, not a few injuries, much distruction and no regrets about it. Obama was a well spring of much of what the Democrats will have to learn to live with.

The point is that proving sedition (as the law stands and court precedent requires) in the middle of a protest protected under the First Amendment needs more than hindering, delaying a government action that is the point of the protest. Irritating or scaring Congressmen in a protest is not enough. It’s not going to wash with the Supreme Court because even if most of Congress wanted to certify the election. That’s a political act- not a government action. The idea that protesting such action is not protected is not going to work. Did you even read the post about the few cases of sedition ever successfully prosecuted? None of them involve a single anti government action in the middle of a protest. In fact the 2018 Kavanaugh protesters sought to delay government action and there were arrests- none for sedition. A similar thing happen in 2016 over gun laws. 1967 armed Black Pathers did the same- no sedition charges. There has to be more involved- repeated action over time involving weapons and personal attacks in order to differentiate between an even violent constitutional protest and sedition. And this isn’t it. The men charged may take a lot of different paths to the charges but pleading guilty to sedition is not going to be in there. That they had a desire to do so isn’t enough. That they were looking for the chance was not enough. All these guys have to do is show they were trying to preserve their idea of the Constitution and voila- no sedition. They may plead guilty to other charges but not sedition. A deal will be made to end the government embarassment that they can’t win.

SCOTUS rules the Biden Vaccine Mandate is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

President Trump’s SCOTUS picks just paid off IMO. No way this happens if they leaned more left.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21a244_hgci.pdf

i think this removes the testing requirement as well. And the indoor mask mandate for the pure bloods. Businesses can prob still require these to stay in place but since it has been declared unconstitutional by our highest court, it may open up the door for lawsuits.

He might as well repeat his line about the most inclusive, widespread voter fraud organization in American political history. Why not, at this point?

“It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes.”

Hospitals in nearly half of US states are nearing capacity, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, as the Omicron variant has triggered a record number of cases across the country.
In 18 states at least 85% of adult intensive care unit beds were in use, while in 24 states at least 80% of staffed hospital beds were occupied, HHS data shows.

I hope he stays healthy.

Wharfinger Building architectural style is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s early Prairie Style architecture, very nice.
