Naturally Immune People at Little Risk of Reinfection, Severe Disease From COVID-19: Study – Epoch Time

The studied population contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, between Feb. 28, 2020, and April 28, 2021.
Reinfections were counted if a person tested positive at least 90 days after their first infection. After excluding approximately 87,500 people with a vaccination record, researchers found those with immunity from having recovered from COVID-19 had little risk of reinfection and severe cases of the disease. Just 1,304 reinfections were identified. That means 0.4 percent of people with natural immunity and without a vaccination record got COVID-19 a second time.

A Tax Gift to the Rich Divides Democrats – Epoch Times

President Joe Biden repeatedly said he would raise taxes only on the rich to pay for his Build Back Better plan, but now he’s backing a tax break for millionaires and billionaires, contradicting his promises. …The plan allows taxpayers to deduct up to $80,000 of state and local taxes against their federal income taxes, a sharp increase from the current $10,000 cap. This means many among the rich would pay lower federal income taxes than they currently pay. …Under the House plan, roughly one third of the tax benefits would go to the richest 1 percent and three-quarters would go to the richest 5 percent, according to an analysis by the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. …Sanders criticized Democrats over their “hypocrisy.”

DOI Pushes for Higher Fees for Offshore, Onshore Oil and Gas Companies – Epoch Times

The DOI report (pdf), issued in response to Biden’s Jan. 27 executive order, was quietly published on Black Friday after months of delays. DOI Secretary Deb Haaland claimed in March that the report would be released in “early summer.” Oil prices and gasoline prices have become a hot-button issue, with many blaming the Biden administration’s freeze on oil and gas leasing, shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline, and other policies for helping to drive up those costs in recent months. “So, begging OPEC+ for more supply, raiding our strategic reserve to try to lower prices at the pump, and now increasing leasing fees on U.S. producers. Yep, makes perfect sense—if you’re a Democrat,” wrote Dan K. Eberhardt, CEO of Canary, on Twitter in response to the DOI report. …Biden administration is sending mixed signals

Reality Remains Undefeated by Ben Shapiro – Epoch Times

Reducing the number of people in jail—and more particularly, the number of black Americans in jail. Chisholm himself admitted the costs of his policies in 2007: “Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into a treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody? You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen.” …Waukesha, Wisconsin, plowed a maroon Ford Escape into a Christmas parade of children and older women. Five people were killed and another 48 were injured. The motive of the suspect is unknown; if the media have their way, it will remain that way. The media apparently only care about why suspects commit violent acts when motives can be credited to their political enemies. There is one thing we do know: the suspect should not have been on the street. He had a rap sheet longer than the first five books of the Bible. …we already know just why the bail process allowed the suspect back out onto the street: equity demanded it.

Florida’s DeSantis Warns Against Removing Communist Rebels From Terrorist List: ‘A Serious Mistake’ – Epoch Times

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized the Biden administration over its reported plan to remove a Colombian communist rebel group from the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations, calling it “an insult” to the Colombian American community in his state. Financed by extortion, kidnapping, and a billion-dollar cocaine trafficking operation, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) waged a guerrilla war against Colombian government for more than a half-century until 2016, when the far-left rebels signed a peace deal that’s still being implemented. The decadeslong conflict has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more, including many families who settled in Florida.

Flight Attendants Share About Bad Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccine – Epoch Times

Lisa Williams, a flight attendant for a major airline, didn’t want to take the vaccine against COVID-19. But, against her conscience, she rolled up her sleeve in tears on Sept. 2 in order to keep her job and feed her three boys. …The day that she received the vaccine, Williams began having severe headaches and muscle spasms that would wake her from sleep. She said she went to bed and stayed there for four days in an “almost coma-like state.” …“I felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest,” she said, pausing between sentences to breathe properly. “My lungs to this day will not fill all the way up. “My eyes were swollen almost shut, and I had nausea, fatigue, and a lot of coughing.” …Before taking the vaccine, Williams, 51, said she only took hormone supplements for post-menopausal symptoms. “Other than vitamins and the stuff to regulate my hormones, I didn’t take any medications,” she said.  “I went to the gym and worked out—I was healthy.”

From Waukesha to San Francisco – Newt Gingrich Commentary Epoch Times

The deadly actions of the last few days should serve as a wake-up call to most Americans. Being pro-criminal and anti-police is beginning to undermine the fabric of our civilization. We have already seen a dramatic rise in murders and other crimes. Now, we have a massacre by a convicted criminal who drove a vehicle into a Christmas parade, killing five people and wounding 40 who had gathered to celebrate the birth of Christ and the beginning of the Christmas season…. …At nearly the same time, …open vandalism, theft, and destruction resembled a scene from the movie “Clockwork Orange.” It is a pattern of criminal aggression which has been building in San Francisco since the city’s communist, pro-criminal, anti-law enforcement district attorney took office. … In New York, there is a no bail rule which allows criminals to walk out of jail faster than the police can fill out arrest reports. The result has been that the police have simply stopped arresting people for many small crimes.

Dangerous Democrats put Americans in danger – Grant Stinchfield – Newsmax

The two very brief videos in this post discuss the 87,000 new IRS agents Biden is going to hire to conduct audits on Americans that earn $75K or less; other democratic policies that harm Americans; Pelosi family possible insider trading that has netted them over $200 million in the past 3 years. One huge conclusion arrived at in these videos is that while the dems desire to defund police to make crime easier; they are funding the type of police that make it more difficult for tax-paying, law-abiding Americans to thrive – the message, quit voting democratic if you are not one of the elite wealthy class in the US
