DeSantis lowers the age requirement to get the Kung Flu vaccine.
TALLAHASSEE — Any Floridian 60 and older will be eligible for a coronavirus vaccination starting March 15, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday.
DeSantis said Florida could afford to offer the vaccine more broadly because of what he called “softening” demand among seniors.
“The pharmacies have their windows to sign up. They’re not gone in ten minutes like they were a month and a half ago,” DeSantis said. “We think that’s a good sign because we think that we’ve reached a critical mass of the senior population.”
DeSantis: coronavirus vaccine to be offered to Floridians 60 and older next week
And the missus and I have decided we will go ahead and get vaccinated. She is planning on going to visit her kin later in the year and if airlines get stupid about it, she does not want to wait till the last minute and having to deal with a possible delay because she could not get it on time.
And I will also take it. I have been shot in the past with immunizations for jungle crap that required you to wait a month for possible side effects before undertaking a trip plus chugging daily anti malaria pills the size of quail eggs and some other shit that actually tested like chemical shit, so truthfully I am not really scared about this sucker.
If we are lucky, we will get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which is one shot and done. I will update you and make sure to let you know if I grow a horn in the middle of the forehead or that side effect that should not last for more than 4 hour before having to consult your physician.
And the trust in the USMC drops some more
Hi @CMC_MarineCorps! Are these official statements from the @iimigofficial about how the Marines view US civilians? pic.twitter.com/FeMU613cn9

The important part from the Twitter account of the Official U.S. Marine Corps Twitter for the II MEF Information Group:
Really top-notch seething condescension and contempt for American civilians who are concerned about our faltering defensive poster against the Chinese in the Pacific.
Good to know how much the USMC officially hates us and our stupid civilian opinions.
Hoorah!
Gun trumps taser – also, Nashville needs to brace for social unrest
There was a police shooting in north Nashville.
Both the bodycam and dashcam footage have been released.
https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1370550054184976387
The car was registered to an owner with six outstanding warrants, which is why the vehicle was pulled over. The woman, Nika Nicole Holbert, was not the registered owner.
Holbert had a lengthy criminal record, including several drug convictions.
The media has yet to say exactly why the officer tried to arrest her, but driving a car that was registered to someone else and that someone else being a man with several outstanding warrants while having a long criminal history herself was probably part of it.
When she resisted, the officer stared with a taser, which you can see was not effective in either mode – after he shot her, he dry stunned her in the arm.
She still managed to get a gun and shoot him first.
In the usual fashion when a person with multiple convictions is shot by police, her relatives can’t understand why she was killed. (Video cannot be embedded, go to the link)
Less lethal is just that, less lethal. It’s not a definitive stop against someone trying to kill you.
Let that be an important lesson.
Also, given the demographics of the individuals involved and that it happened during the Chauvin trial, Nashville needs to prepare for the worst.
And this is why the military freaked out about Tucker
This was Tucker talking about Biden’s first public address and when he talked about the military:
The upper echelon of the US military then attacked Tucker.
This is a no-bullshit headline from an actual DOD press release:
Press Secretary Smites Fox Host That Dissed Diversity in U.S. Military
The Command Sargent Major of the US Space Force went to Twitter to attack a strawman version of Tucker’s comments that he created.
https://twitter.com/US_SpaceComCSEL/status/1370041512894025729
I didn’t see anywhere that in Tucker’s video where he said women shouldn’t serve in the military. I do believe his problem was with the adoption of Woke standards.
The replies to Tucker from the military all misrepresented his points of contention with the same bullshit “Tucker says women shouldn’t be in the military.”
That wasn’t what he said.
I have to agree with Tucker, the idea of maternity flight suits is odd. If you go to any fair or theme park and you will see signs on all the rides that say pregnant women shouldn’t ride them. So if pregnant women can’t ride on roller coasters, why would they be allowed to fly combat maneuvers?
Female body armor, on the other hand, I fully support as that is valuable life-saving technology, and the lack of it has been a problem in both the military and law enforcement. I just want to make that clear.
Also, I saw a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in the military attack Tucker with the argument of “he didn’t serve so he’s a coward, and he doesn’t get to have an opinion.”
Thank you to those people for making me hate our servicemen and women. I appreciate them revealing their opinion that they are better than the rest of us and we should shut the fuck up and accept what the military does because we’re just a bunch of lazy cowards who would piss ourselves at boot camp. It’s good to know that our service members have embraced the attitude of a junta. You are doing a bang-up job of continuing to reduce trust in our military.
So why the coordinated attack on Tucker.
Well.. two reasons.
Reason One, from the Financial Times:
Admiral warns US military losing its edge in Indo-Pacific
The US is losing its military edge in the Indo-Pacific as China rapidly expands in ways that suggest it is preparing for aggressive action, the top American commander in the region has warned.
Admiral Philip Davidson, head of Indo-Pacific command, said the military balance in the region has “become more unfavourable” to the US, raising the threat of China taking action because of declining deterrence.
“We are accumulating risk that may embolden China to unilaterally change the status quo before our forces may be able to deliver an effective response,” Davidson told a Senate armed services committee hearing.
“I cannot for the life of me understand some of the capabilities that they’re putting in the field, unless it is an aggressive posture,” he said.
His comments came as the US has become alarmed about aggressive Chinese military activity around Taiwan. Asked if the US should change its long-term policy of “strategic ambiguity” — refusing to say how it would respond to an attack on Taiwan — he suggested it should be examined.
“Forty years of the strategic ambiguity . . . has helped keep Taiwan and its current status, but you know these things should be reconsidered routinely,” Davidson said.
So we are effectively abandoning Taiwan and allowing China to control that region of the world, which means that China will eventually control the entire Pacific ocean.
This is happening under the President who got 10% of his son making bank from Chinese businesses.
Reason Two, from CNN:
Defense Secretary overruled Army recommendation to reduce number of National Guard troops at Capitol
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to keep nearly 2,300 National Guard troops on Capitol Hill security duty through May 23 came after the secretary decided against an Army recommendation that less than half that number was actually needed to support US Capitol Police.
Three defense officials confirm that Austin reviewed the lower option to keep fewer than 1,000 troops but ultimately decided to give the Capitol Police the full amount of troops they had asked for. “There was a discussion” about approving less than 1,000 troops one defense official told CNN. The Army oversees the DC National Guard and has taken a lead role in the deployment of guard forces.
The Pentagon says it approved the police request for the nearly 2,300 troops to remain on duty because the Capitol Police successfully made the case they did not have enough manpower and “capability” to ensure security after the January 6 insurrection and given ongoing security concerns.
Meanwhile, members of Congress have sought clarity from US Capitol Police and the Pentagon as to why the deployment of Guard troops was extended this week through May but have not been given a clear explanation, according to a source familiar with the outreach.
The timeline for hiring additional USCP officers, something that was also recommended by Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré who conducted an independent review of Capitol security, remains unclear but that process will inevitably take months.
I wrote about the high partisan and prejudicial Russel Honore before.
The Army wants to remove troops, members of Congress want to remove troops, but Biden’s Secretary of Raytheon Stock Value Defense and Pelosi’s Grand Inquisitor want to keep troops there effectively permanently. They won’t say that, they will just keep pushing the withdrawal date down the road.
So in real-time, we are watching as our defense leadership is putting a stronger defense posture in Washington DC against Trump supporters than in the Pacific against China.
I’m waiting for the SecDef to demand a carrier strike group be placed in the Chesapeake.
Americans should be concerned that our military is undergoing an ideological purge, having Woke ideology crammed into it from the top down, giving China room to expand on our allies, and is turning our nation’s capital into a Green Zone.
Having Americans focus on that would be a problem for the military, so instead, they attack Tucker for being sexist against women in uniform.
I am looking forward to when President Biden gives a female done pilot the Congressional Medal of Honor for being the first woman who is seven months pregnant to engage in combat operations when she bravely launched a Hellfire into the house of a “Domestic Terrorist” in a Red state because the owner downloaded a program to 3-D print an AR lower and nobody questions how we got there.
2+2=5 or the expectation of getting more for less.
Soviet propaganda: The “Arithmetic of an Alternative Plan: 2 + 2 plus the Enthusiasm of the Workers = 5” exhorts the workers of the Soviet Union to realise five years of production in four years’ time. (Iakov Guminer, 1931)
That is the best explanation possible for the propaganda of 2+2=5. “See? If you come to our side and support us, you just don’t get four but actually 5!” And you know people like some extra stuff for the same price and/or effort. If one side delivers 2+2=4 and the Socialists promise you 2+2=5, hell yes! You are going with the Socialists… but only you do not bother or want to read the historical reviews. Hell, if socialism was on Yelp, I don’t think it would even get a half a star.
The same people that blindly play the lottery thinking they will hit the 6 numbers plus the power ball with the absolute faith it will solve all their problems are the same people that believe in 2+2=5 and the lies of Socialism.
You don’t see many state lotteries going bankrupt, do you?
Buckhead wants to break away from Atlanta because of the Blue Flu
Atlanta is another city in which the local politicians have seriously undermined the morale of the police department.
As a result of this and other shitty policies, crime in Atlanta is skyrocketing.
One of the wealthiest communities in Atlanta has decided that it is tired of this and wants to take its taxes an form their own community with their own, much more responsive police department.
Residents in a wealthy Atlanta community are trying to create their own police force as part of a push for secession as the city is rocked by a crime wave with murders up 80 percent so far this year.
The Buckhead Exploratory Committee, made up of residents of the city’s richest neighborhood of Buckhead, are looking to break away from the city in the wake of a surge in violent crime that has left people ‘genuinely concerned for their safety.’
In recent months, home surveillance footage captured the moment a man sprinted to reach the safety of his home as a car pulled up with a man brandishing a rifle.
The Buckhead Exploratory Committee told The Wall Street Journal residents want to create their own police force because they no longer feel protected while going about their day-to-day lives.
‘Our residents are genuinely concerned for their safety and the safety of their family members,’ they said.
‘Residents must be wary and ‘on guard’ continuously, even when doing routine tasks like going to the gas station, nearby shopping mall, shopping at the grocery store or just pulling into their driveways, mindful if anyone is lurking in the bushes.’
Good.
They shouldn’t have to pay taxes to a system that doesn’t help them because a bunch of elected Leftist activists adopted ACAB as city policy.
Of course, the city government will call the residents of Buckhead racist and play to that angle. The community of Buckhead will have to hold fast and show how the Atlanta PD has abandoned them and made them the target of criminals who want to rob rich people.
I hope they pull it off and set up their own community with a police department that actually brings down crime and leaves the Atlanta government with a big budget shortfall.
I expect more of this to happen in Blue cities across America.
