WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: The Most Important Joe Biden Question in the World

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: The Most Important Joe Biden Question in the World
"...

• But forget Obama and Biden’s terrible economic record. 
• Forget the Biden corruption allegations. 
• Forget Ukraine and China, where Biden’s son allegedly made a fortune. 
• Forget Costa Rica, where Biden’s brother allegedly made a fortune.
• Forget Burisma, the corrupt firm Biden kept from being investigated by extorting Ukraine, to protect his son. That’s all on video, by the way.
• Forget the fact that Ukraine has just officially opened a criminal investigation into the whole Biden affair.
• Also, forget that Biden is the ultimate “DC Swamp guy.”
• Forget the entire Democrat establishment fixing the presidential primary for Biden because they crave power, jobs, patronage and government contracts. And once elected, Joe will open up the vault and give them whatever they want, with your taxpayer dollars.

Forget all that.
Instead, let’s just ask about the elephant in the room.
I’m going to say out loud what everyone is thinking and saying privately.
 Is Joe Biden capable of being president?
Has time passed him by.
Is Joe “all there?” 
Has Biden suffered possible diminished mental capacity and cognitive decline? 
Is Joe possibly suffering senility, or early onset dementia?

Record number hold Minnesota gun carry permits: report | Fox News

Record number hold Minnesota gun carry permits: report | Fox News:

The number of gun carry permits in Minnesota totals more than 301,000 -- a record number that has nearly doubled since 2014, according to a report.
Minnesota sheriffs reported issuing 51,404 permits in 2019, according to the state Department of Public Safety’s annual tally of gun permits.
Sheriffis in Hennepin, Anoka and Dakota counties issued the most permits, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
The paper said the trend is being fueled by some Minnesota gun owners' concerns that legislation may be coming that would make it harder to buy firearms.

How a ban on pro-Trump patterns unraveled the online knitting world - MIT Technology Review

How a ban on pro-Trump patterns unraveled the online knitting world - MIT Technology Review

• When knitting site Ravelry banned all pro-Trump content it caused a schism in the community—but it also shone a spotlight on how women are using niche sites to politicize.

"Last January, a New England woman was inspired to design a new beanie, commemorating the construction of President Donald Trump’s planned US border wall. 
Her knitting pattern spelled out “Build the Wall” with a brick motif. 
“Deplorable Knitter,” as she calls herself, then posted the pattern on Ravelry, the internet’s largest collective of knitters and crocheters.
The response was vitriolic. 
“Everyone was so angry about it,” she says.
But Deplorable Knitter, who’d previously just used the site to browse patterns, was fired up. 
When Trump announced he was running for reelection last June, she designed a Trump 2020 “Keep America Great” cowl. 
“That one blew up,” she says, describing threats and bullying that have forced her to remain anonymous. 
Her cowl pattern got flagged for hate speech, and on June 21, Deplorable Knitter was banned from Ravelry.
She was not alone. 
On June 23, the site banned “support of Donald Trump and his administration.” 
In a statement at the time, Ravelry said: “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.”...

In case the lib-media buried this so well you had forgotten-----Milwaukee Mass Shooter is a Black Elizabeth Warren Supporter – Summit News

Milwaukee Mass Shooter is a Black Elizabeth Warren Supporter – Summit News
"The Milwaukee man who killed five co-workers at a beer company’s corporate office is a black Elizabeth Warren supporter, providing a clue as to why the mass shooting disappeared from the discussion so quickly.

51-year-old Anthony Ferrill showed up at the MillerCoors facility from where he had been fired earlier in the day wearing his uniform and carrying a silenced gun.
He proceeded to gun down five colleagues before turning the weapon on himself.
It subsequently emerged that Ferrill was an African-American Elizabeth Warren supporter (presuming that Ferrill shared the same political beliefs as his wife, who took a selfie with Warren at a rally last year).

Replying to @ewarren

The shooter was 51 year old Anthony Ferrill. His wife took selfies with you at a rally last year. This one is 100% on you, Liz.

As of this morning, 27 deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported in the US.

22 of those deaths were in Washington state, 19 of which came from one nursing home. 

Ages of the decedents at the nursing home ranged from 60's to the 90's, with all having some underlying condition.

The 5 remaining decedents were between 40 and 70 and had significant underlying conditions.

19 out of 27 represent 70% of all deaths and 86% of the deaths in Washington state.

8 total across the country,
8 people have died of the virus outside that one nursing home in King County, Washington.

No one in this country has been vaccinated against this strain of corona virus and yet, outside that one nursing home, here have only been 8 deaths, all with advanced ages and/or underlying conditions that were aggravated by the virus.

Is the current panic justified?

You will have to make your own judgement, but I don't see it.
