Fact: The uptake in positive tests for Covid is primarily among the unvaccinated.
Fact: Resistance to getting a vaccine in California is primarily conservatives and evangelicals (though some liberals against technology are in this group).
Question: What is the relationship between COVID positivity and political preferences.
I took Monday's COVID report data for last week for each county and computed the per capita (100,000) and the percent of YES votes for the recall of Gavin Newsom (as a proxy for political preference where "Yes" is conservative.
The net result was that there was a 77.6% positive correlation between counties with higher than average COVID rates and whether those counties preferred to recall the Governor.

The data is below.

The conclusion is that "stupid is as stupid does" -- those that reject science are also prone to reject liberal values. No surprise, but the data simply confirms the battle lines that lie ahead.

    It's too bad senile Joe and his Skank of a VP both said if Trump's administration came out with a vaccine they wouldn't trust it, and the skank actually said she wouldn't take it. So here we are, and Joe's patience is wearing thin? Well Joe that's on you and the hoe. Trump urged people to take it. Joe tries to force Americans to take it, but not illegals that he's flying and bussing all over the country.
    Makes perfect sense....if you're SENILE.

      Despite what many on the outside might think, the truth on the inside is practically an open secret; Joe Biden is not going to run for president in 2024.

      No one not in the president's inner circle really knows what’s going on with his "cognitive health," a term that has suddenly become trendy.

      We can only judge based on what we see and what we hear – but it doesn’t look good.

      President Biden has struggled with almost every aspect of the job and has held only one real press conference since taking office – basically because he can't answer simple questions.

      His handlers don’t want him embarrassing himself.

      Those who like euphemisms might say he's "lost a step," but it is clearly more pronounced – and dangerous – than that.

      This isn’t the first time a president's health has been called into question.

      John F. Kennedy hid his Addison’s disease from the American people. Most Americans had no idea that FDR was in a wheelchair, but no one ever doubted Roosevelt's or Kennedy's cognitive health.

      Some questioned Ronald Reagan's mental health toward the end of his time in office, and Reagan was ultimately diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease five years after leaving office.

      But, Reagan consistently polls as one of the most popular presidents in history and I think that even Dr. Jill Biden would admit that Joe is not in the same league, and never will be.

      What we are witnessing right now in Washington is virtually unprecedented. Sadly, the effects could reverberate for generations.

      In March of 1968, President Lyndon Baines Johnson shocked the Democratic Party and the world when he announced he wouldn’t seek a second term as president

      He made that announcement just eight months before the election of that year.

      The stress of the office and the Vietnam War were too much for the LBJ, who died in 1973 at the age of 64. The move ultimately cost the Democrats the White House in 1968, and many still blame Johnson for abandoning the party – but don’t expect this to happen again.

      After just eight months in office, President Biden already keeps the lightest schedule of any president since President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

      Three years is a very long time and at some point, in the not-so-distant future, Dr. Jill and the media won't be able to cover for the president anymore.

      Something will happen. He might say something that the media won’t be able to ignore.

      Think about it like this, if Joe Biden was your grandfather would you let him drive, or would you take away his keys? I think you know the answer, and the rest of the administration knows it too – including Vide President Kamala Harris.

      So, do we see another LBJ? I don’t think so.

      Joe Biden will give the Democrats longer than eight months to select the best candidate to run in 2024. I’d expect him to announce that he won’t seek a second term sometime in late 2023.

      By doing this, he’ll give the party enough time to poll and fundraise for several candidates leading up to 2024.

      But none of this ever had to happen. Joe Biden didn’t have to run in 2020, at the age of 77.

      COVID-19 gave Biden the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong ambition.

      He's always wanted to be president, but the moment has clearly passed him by.

      He served for over 40 years in the U.S. Senate and, later, eight as vice-president under Barack Obama.

      He could have easily lived out his remaining years eating ice cream and spending time with his six grandkids, but he chose a different and far more dangerous path.

      Joe Biden will likely be remembered as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, an aberration that never should have been and one that could ultimately give us a President Donald J. Trump again.

        Joe Biden would have been president instead of trump, but he chose not to run because his son was dying of brain cancer.

        He would have beat Trump in 2016, and we would have never had this mess.

    Good work. Although I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that Those who reject science are also prone to reject liberal values.

    I think your findings are, there is a 77% likelihood that your personal and surrounding political environment affect your likelihood of being science literate.

        I don't think he'll run again. He won't be in a position to make the 'popular' decision. He can make the 'right' decision. I expect him to step down after 1 turn and endorse his VP in 2024. He doesn't need the props.

          I agree that he will not run again. However, I do hope other Democrats such as Bernie, and even Newsom step up and challenge Harris for the nomination. I don't think she's electable, even against a Trump type nutjob opponent. She's been invisible as VP, and her position as lead on immigration will be an anchor around her neck as a candidate.

              Are you talking about the recall that failed? The recall where over 63% of voters solidly reaffirmed their confidence in Newsom?
              With your ill conceived recall, you idiots launched his big win into the national spotlight.

Biden suppressing the right media again
Posted on: 2021-09-17 07:35:14   By: Anonymous
 
I'd say Biden suppressing the media but the liberal media never reports all the wrongs of this piss poor administration.

The Federal Aviation Administration has placed a two-week flight restriction along a bridge at the southern border inundated with thousands of illegal immigrants, which prevents reporters from flying drones to document the crisis.

"We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants. FAA says ‘special security reason,’" Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted Thursday evening.

So let's see, when thousands of little kids were put in cages made by Obama and Biden the day Biden took office, he forbid the media access to the deplorable conditions by saying it was for the migrants privacy and covid because the media were/are too stupid to mask up and wash their hands ( but can report on the front lines of a war zone) Now because of so many illegals are again packed in unsanitary conditions, garbage and feces everywhere Biden ordered the FAA to order flight restrictions so real journalist can not show the public what's going on.
Remember almost 8 months ago when Biden said he'd let the media in to see the conditions inside the holding cages when the conditions were better? Well socialist, your disastrous pick of a senile president can't get anything done still. From our southern border, energy cost, begging OPEC for oil, gas prices, inflation, violent crime, COVID-19 with 3 vaccines from Trump, pull out of Afghanistan, giving the Taliban 84 Billion Dollars of tax payers weapons, and the Blood of 13 American Military Personnel, oh...and Abandoning American Citizens and thousands of our Afghanistan Allies.
All of the above and more, in less then 8 months.
With the Biden administration at the helm, our country has never been so vulnerable. I don't want to even think what our adversary's are planning against this weak, pathetic, senile of president, who is by far the biggest embarrassment our Nation has ever had in the WH.
