Fauci was the one who ate the bat that started this whole thing

Really?

The sun?

What a moronic thing for you or anyone to say.

So the use of smoky, polluting CO2-laden fossil fuels for many centuries was a neutral event?

Your master has taught you well, grasshopper: now you, too, get to ride in the short bus.

The amount of solar energy that Earth receives has followed the Sun’s natural 11-year cycle of small ups and downs with no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen markedly. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the Sun has caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.

Sounds like the righties are buying into the Peter Navarro nonsense.

As I understand it, the US gov't funneled $600K toward coronavirus research in China over several years; does anyone seriously think that piddling sum made much if any difference in the construction and operation of the Wuhan viral lab?

Of course not.

No, just more nonsensical baloney from another sore loser desperate to discredit the winner.

These Trump apologists and enablers need to chill out or else we can never make America great again.

Duly noted; my negative comments are designed to attack the message, not the messenger, but I'll rein it in a bit.

Quote:

Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars.

The pool of names for the drawing will be derived from the Ohio Secretary of State’s publicly available voter registration database. Further, we will make available a webpage for people to sign up for the drawings if they are not in a database we are using. The Ohio Department of Health will be the sponsoring agency for the drawings, and the Ohio Lottery will conduct them. The money will come from existing federal Coronavirus Relief Funds. To be eligible to win, you must be at least 18 years of age or older on the day of the drawing. You must be an Ohio resident. And, you must be vaccinated before the drawing.

We will have further, specific details tomorrow and in the days ahead.

I know that some may say, “DeWine, you’re crazy! This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money.” But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic -- when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it -- is a life lost to COVID-19.

Interesting idea!
