No surprise here IMO. Phil Berger needs a Trump endorsement, and giving His Royal Majesty at least one more Congresscritter is the price

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

Any short lived immunity we are getting should be coming safely from vaccines and not from infections that carry post infection risks e.g. like cardiovascular risk.

COVID infection = Post infection risks

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

One of the major reasons ICE goons don't show their faces is they don't want their wives and kids to see what they're doing. Instead of cheating on their spouses, they're cheating on the US Constitution.

New study just dropped linking shingles reactivation and dementia risk.

You know what reactivates shingles? Covid.

Want to avoid it? Wear a well fitted respirator and give yourself the best odds of avoiding Covid infection.

There’s also a shingles vaccine which may help reduce risk!
