He's a fucking right wing shill and no mistake.

So, any comment to his statement? Or is it connected what he did 30 years ago?

BTW, what he did that time for the state was surely utmost appreciated by (almost) all, everybody applauded to the wonderful president and his war games...

One presumes fucking up, instigating wars, terrorising south american countries for centuries counts.

Although the current exceptional country's leader has not been in power for all of that time.

Just different reporting and evaluating the events. Some call it double standard...

Poked your weeping wound again.

for the overall 70%+ vaccination required to achieve herd immunity and damp down on the mutations it will be difficult

^Maybe has to do (a little) with the christians also………

New Michigan law requires those receiving Johnson & Johnson vaccine be told it was developed using stem cells

Treasury details Biden's plan to raise $2 trillion through corporate tax hikes

Details: The tax plan unveiled Wednesday would...

• Raise the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%.
• Enforce a 15% minimum tax on book income of large companies that report high profits, but have little taxable income.
• Replace fossil fuel subsidies with incentives for clean energy production.
• Boost enforcement against corporate tax avoidance.

Between the lines: 65% of voters said they strongly or somewhat support Biden raising corporate taxes to pay for his infrastructure plan, including 42% of Republicans, according to a Morning Consult poll released Wednesday.

I dont think Christians require persuading by their priests pastors elders or whatever. For many it is more of a personal moral dilemma and a matter of conscience. Certainly nothing to do with right left or any other wing.
It is another "which is the greater evil" questions that many people are faced with at times in their lives. Not to take a vaccine developed from something one has a conscientious objection to, or a moral obligation to help protect society with the potential to prevent many more deaths.
I will reluctantly get the vaccine so derived if I cannot get an alternative. In the end, sometimes we must leave our comfort zone and choose between our beliefs and the greater good.

There are no alternatives, that's the point, and the mater of religious objections are what is addressed - Muslims and Jews accept it despite having initial objections to potential pork-gelatin contents. Christians shouldn't have an issue with it either.

The Christian idea of 'greater evil', as in sin is equated to 'greater harm' if not taken. The moral dilemma has been addressed and the churches here have come out in full support of vaccinations . . . sadly many Maori and Pacific Islanders are yet to be convinced. Education.

I do understand that an ethical boundary provides for contemplation.

Does this "stems cells from the 50's or whatever" nonsense apply to MRNA vaccines?

The last one is going to need some legislation as companies will be looking at all sorts of ways of moving revenues and profits around the world to avoid paying tax, as well as using a variety of complex mechanisms to hide profits.

No, but other vaccine-producing techniques did, hence the initial reluctance. All a matter of spreading the right information . . . same with foetal cells.

So they could just take mRNA and stop the fucking whinging.

Which means it's really just an excuse for being crazy trumpanzee god bothering imbeciles.

Biden is looking at a system where the global company minimum tax rate is set at 21% and companies are taxed where they make their sales/profits rather than where their head office is located. Although it is primarily for raising more revenue in the states it may help other countries if they can be convinced of its merits, but it will take cooperation from many countries to work.

I don't hold out much hope.

Lummi Nation carvers to gift totem pole to Biden after national tour of lands

Lummi Nation carvers and supporters are bringing a totem pole across the country before gifting it to President Biden’s administration this summer.

The House of Tears Carvers at the Lummi Nation will carve and transport the 24-foot totem pole from Washington state to Washington, D.C., stopping along the way at “twenty of the country’s Native-led struggles where sacred lands, waters, and wildlife are imperiled by dams, climate change, and extractive industries,” according to the website for the “Red Road to DC,” the name of the journey.

The trip will begin at the Lummi Nation outside of Bellingham, Wash., on May 25 and make stops at the Nez Perce traditional lands, Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, the Black Hills in South Dakota, the crossing of the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Missouri River and more.

The totem pole, made out of a 400-year-old red cedar, will be featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian this fall, The Seattle Times reported.
