Trafalgar Poll: Republicans Like Their Governors, Democrats Don’t.
Even before New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation this week, July polling found Democrats have far less faith in their governors and state legislators than Republicans do.
Just 14% of likely Democratic primary voters choose their governors or state legislators when asked in the latest Trafalgar Group/Convention of States Action poll: “Who do you think is most effective at defending the rights and promoting the issues you care about?

On Bolt a young journalist, probably mid-late 20’s.
Got Pfizer, then developed myocarditis (inflammation of the pericardium around the heart). Quite ill, and ended up in emergency at hospital and needed serious treatment.
Says crazy things like:
“There is a 30% chance of serious long term heart and lung damage form Covid”
“Many young and very heathy, fit people get Covid and are very ill, on ventilators”
“I would certainly get the vaccine again, it will keep us all safe”. And more
Fails to know that the risk of death from Covid for someone in their 20’s is almost unmeasurable.
And Bolt nods and encourages this dangerous misinformation (see what I did there).
I reckon Sky has been seriously got at. Craig Kelly has vanished, all mention of treatments gone, no push back against this madness.

Maybe he did. However, what earthly use is a “vaccine” which does nothing to prevent someone catching the disease but does carry a serious risk of side-effects, to the point where it’s not easy to tell whether a death is the result of the disease or the vaccine, particularly in the young, who were not at risk before the vaxxing started.
