18 Million Vaccine hospitalizations?
These numbers are huge and it is confirmed by plenty of family reports. And plenty do not make it out as well. Recall that we now have a current death rate of 140% of normal.

Thus early reports in Italy of high numbers were collapsed a year later literally down to a normal level Eh what!. right now we have a real vaccine induced death rate that may still be increasing and false da... read more

Polls show increased support for GOP in competitive districts
Red States: ... Now there’s more good news. According to a new CNN poll, Republicans are leading in battleground congressional districts with likely voters. Among likely voters in competitive districts, 48 percent would support the Republican candidate, while only 43 percent said they would support the Democrat, according to the poll. That’s a five percent advantage for the Republicans in those important districts. The Republicans only need to pick up five seats to take control of the House, and it’s those competitive districts that are going to determine the race. Republicans ... read more
