Just a few political observations, By Hal Brown

I posted a story to go with this on Daily Kos.




I missed seeing this photo of the Jan. 6th attempted coup. It is in the middle of this NY Times article. Click image to enlarge.

No doubt you have seen the news that a Florida federal district judge, a Trump appointed judge who was rated as unqualified by the American Bar Association, undid the federal mask mandate for airline travel. Other businesses are following suit. I wrote about this on Daily Kos here. 




On a personal note:

Yesterday I received my second booster. I live in a senior community so everyone here is considered above average risk of complications from Covid. All 400 plus residents where I live have received their initial Covid vaccinations and their first booster. The majority got their second booster yesterday.

Waiting while the pharmacists set up t give the booster shots.

I had a 10 AM appointment and was the first to arrive getting there at 9:30. By the time I got my shot there were 50 or more people in the auditorium where the clinic was held. 

I wore my N-95 mask. The majority of people waiting weren’t wearing masks and were sitting right next to each other.  I see this as a kind of wishful thinking. These aren’t right-wing folks. Our senior community is not only well educated but the vast majority of residents are Democrats. This is, after all, a suburb of Portland, Oregon.

Even  though there was room for everyone to sit with an empty seat next to them, none of them with the except of myself, did so as far as I could tell. Of the four people sitting in front of me three were maskless. The man sitting next to me wore his mask.

Yesterday I documented my receiving my second Covid booster.
