@billmaher There is substantial evidence to challenge your favorable portrayal of Ron DeSantis's handling of COVID-19 in Florida. The key distinction is between keeping businesses and schools open and preventing COVID deaths. DeSantis emphasized the former, while critics point to Florida's mortality figures, particularly after vaccines became widely available. Florida's relatively elderly population complicates comparisons, so the strongest argument should use age-adjusted death rates rather than simply counting deaths per capita. What the evidence shows 1. Florida's mortality record was worse than California's, even after adjusting for age. A November 2023 Los Angeles Times analysis found that Florida had the 12th-highest unadjusted COVID mortality rate among states, compared with California's 11th-lowest. After age adjustment, Florida still had a somewhat higher mortality rate, although the difference narrowed considerably. Los Angeles Times 2. Florida suffered a particularly severe outbreak in 2021, after vaccines became available. Florida's own Department of Health reports the following COVID deaths: YearDeathsAge-adjusted rate per 100,000 202019,15057.3 202134,490108.8 202212,15835.8 The 2021 surge is particularly relevant to assessing the state's public-health policies. These figures count deaths for which COVID was the underlying cause. 3. Vaccination differences were associated with excess deaths. A 2023 study in JAMA Internal Medicine examined Republican and Democratic voters in Florida and Ohio. After vaccines became universally available, Republican voters experienced a 43% higher excess-death rate than Democratic voters, after adjustment. The difference was especially pronounced in counties with lower vaccination rates, although the study found that much of the gap occurred in Ohio.

Blast from the past
No way in hell. Iowa did not vote for communism because of gas prices (that were the same or less than under previous admin) or a war to end a nuclear threat (w/ no boots on the ground). I know Iowa. Iowa raised me. Iowa educated me. The math isn’t mathing here. Let’s audit this election to make sure the results are honest before we hand over the Hawkeye state and America to Communists. Do not certify until you VERIFY the vote.

Can't believe I am reposting this guy. The knives are out. Fun!
You know what the Jews aren't responsible for that Vance is going to have to address? The billions in corruption that he stood by and watched happen while he was trying to think of ways to suck up to Nick Fuentes until Fuentes called his wife a "jeet."

The only true thing is that they won't be able to undo the results of this election. Fun though.
I hate to say it, but America is over. The communists and jihadists are going to open our borders and replace our votes with votes from illegals aliens. We now have reps who openly speak about their hatred of America, their love of communism and their support for sharia law. We won’t be able to undo the damage they cause on our country come 2028. America 250 was a funeral. The American Dream is dead.

I can't believe I am retweeting this second-generation jackass, but facts are facts.
So the spokesperson for Mike Rogers’ campaign, Abby Ronson, is a federally registered foreign agent for Israel And it looks like Ronson is helping to shape Haley Stevens’ turncoat messaging

Seems accurate
Haley Stevens’ fiance suggests here their goal is to tank Abdul El-Sayed so she can run for this Senate seat again. nytimes.com/2026/10/31/us/ha…

No surprise. The DOJ attorneys, Blanche and Essayli for two, should join John Eastman on the disbarment bench. Business and Professions Code § 6068(d): Imposes a statutory duty on attorneys "[t]o employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to him or her, those means only as are consistent with truth, and never to seek to mislead the judge or any judicial officer by an artifice or false statement of fact or law."

I do not trust @HaleyforMI to be "on the team" on Sunday. She is still beholden to AIPAC and its people instead of to our country, as AES is. She needs them to. make a living after January.

Haley Stevens's appearances have been appalling. Just endorse AES and otherwise, STFU. Be Mallory McMorrow.
The butthurt handling of this primary defeat by Haley Stevens and now her fiance after they had tens of millions in outside money spent on her behalf is appalling. The next SecDef or a Trump SCOTUS judge is on the line here! Totally pathetic & reveals that the loss was deserved

@kausmickey Good thing there is nothing serious to write about, like the elections that will start the demise of the fascist state you have been cheering on. So keep on with the Cheesecake Factory.

The term “Shylock” is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community.
