Mornings with the One Percent™ Live Weekdays 7-10am, This Morning's Replays are Below!

Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings from 7-10am. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!

Israel Sees “Explosion of Cases” in Vaccinated Patients Caused By “Delta” Variant

More evidence is emerging to suggest that the Delta COVID variant poses a very real threat, even to patients who have already been fully vaccinated.

As a reminder, the WHO’s new naming scheme has the most pervasive variants named after greek letters. Right now, the Delta variant is causing the most trouble worldwide.

It prompted UK PM Boris Johnson to delaying the end of the UK’s COVID-19 restrictions, which have been rolled back with agonizing slowness, as many Britons have complained. It is also now causing a wave of lockdowns and travel restrictions around the world as countries with lower vaccination rates have come to see it as a serious threat. Meanwhile, despite Israel’s efforts to try and suppress the variant, more cases of Delta have been detected across the country, forcing Israel’s public health authorities to consider more drastic measures.

An outbreak of the Delta variant in Israel has spread to many vaccinated people, with about half of the adults infected already being fully innocualted with the Pfizer vaccine. Along with Moderna’s jab, the two mRNA-based vaccines are believed to be more than 90% effective against preventing COVID-19. Still, as more evidence of spread among the vaccinated arises, Pfizer and Moderna will have more incentive to market “booster” vaccines as they transition to protecting the vulnerable against COVID over the long term.

Ran Balicer, the head of Israel’s COVID-19 government advisory committee, said that about 90% of new infections in the country were likely caused by the Delta variant.

“The entrance of the Delta variant has changed the transmission dynamics,” Balicer said.

Children under the age of 16, most of whom haven’t yet been vaccinated, accounted for roughly half of the new cases.

Israel has seen the Delta variant drive cases higher for the first time in months, as the average daily count of new cases has risen to 200 from around 10 a day for most of June. It doesn’t look like much, but public health officials fear it might be the start of another wave of infections, undermining PM Bennett and former PM Netanyahu’s efforts to crush COVID entirely.

    The evidence appears to show that someone can still catch the delta variant is vaccinated. However, it does still prevent hospitalization and death.

    I’ll take the sniffles over a ventilator any day.

      Can't get enough of that good ol experimental "vaccine" can you? Well you're in luck. How many booster shots a year can we get in your little body before you call it enough? Because, after all, the government really cares about you. In fact, Uncle Joey wants to give your daughter a hug and sniff while she sits on his knee.

        Actually, the data being compiled is showing that we may not need boosters as often as originally thought.

          We paid for this experimental virus weapon to be developed in China. The whole world should sue us.

One reason Trumpsters attack the left is to avoid unpleasant cognitive dissonance. It's hard to accept THEY'VE been duped or have paradoxical beliefs, but realizing most people they know have - wow. Hard to process. They turn it around, make it not about them but about Democrats.

    Suppression of reasoned thought is the most foundational precept of a cult. As Trump decompensates further, some will continue to dig in, some will harbor thoughts of a life outside the cult. But the pain from cognitive dissonance makes it unsafe for them to recant. It takes time

    The denial of the well documented coup attempt on 1/6 - hours and hours of video, hundreds of right wing thugs ID'd and arrested (no BLM or Antifa) - means we are well into black is white/white is black territory. Bizarre, disturbing, frightening.

    Exactly why the Uber wealthy GOP want to keep their followers uneducated and lacking discernment, only able to give their arguments in three word chants and repeated lies. It's really quite sad as the "have nots" are predictably following party lines and exactly how the GOP want to keep them down.

‘Proud Transgender Woman of Color’ Wins Miss Nevada USA Pageant
Posted on: 2021-06-29 09:03:14   By: Anonymous
 
Kataluna Enriquez, a biological male who identifies as a woman, has won the title of Miss Nevada USA.

For the first time in the pageant’s history, a biological woman is not taking home the crown for Miss Nevada USA.

Enriquez won the beauty pageant on Sunday at the South Point Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas, which means he will go on to represent Nevada as the first transgender individual ever to compete in the Miss USA Pageant — which will be held on November 29.

Enriquez beat 21 other contestants in the Miss Nevada USA pageant, according to a report by Associated Press.

In March, Enriquez was crowned Miss Silver State USA, which is described as the “biggest preliminary competition for the Miss Nevada USA pageant.”

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Enriquez first took part in transgender pageants in 2016 while working as a model, and started competing in women’s pageants last year.

Women’s beauty pageants are not the only place where biological males are beginning to dominate.

Transgender models Valentina Sampaio and Leyna Bloom have both appeared in Sports Illustrated‘s annual Swimsuit Issue.

Chelsea Wolfe, a transgender BMX freestyle rider and U.S. Olympic team alternate — who once said his goal was to win the Olympics so that he could burn the American flag on the podium — has become Team USA’s first trans athlete.

Additionally, a biological male named Laurel Hubbard will become the first trans athlete to compete in the Olympics. Hubbard will compete against biological females, representing New Zealand in an international weightlifting competition.

      Then you've missed the entire point. This is about all people having the ability to advance. But you keep on with that black and white thinking which I'm sure has done so well for you until now, lol.

    Miss Calaveras who did quite well in the pageant - coming in 4th I believe - also identifies as transgender. It must be incredibly sad for you to see the world changing so very much in terms of tolerance and acceptance.

The most authoritarian-inclined Americans tend to be over age 45, live in rural areas and don’t have a college degree. This is the profile of the GOP base, not coincidentally.

    Get vaccinated. The Qpubs can say they won't- and die , or have long haul effects of Covid like ED, women- sterility. Then there's the heart, organ, brain problems even when they had no symptoms.
    It's Darwin's natural selection- the culling of the herd .

    Now the CDC says wear a mask inside, but you can get the Delta variant by just passing someone outside. It is 10 x more contagious.

    It's not over as some try to think, we have quite a way to go, with more contagious variants being found, Delta plus now identified.
    There is a good chance that a new variant that can not be susceptible to the current vaccines.
    The more people contract the new variants, the more likely there will be a more virulent variant incubated .

      Interestingly, the most common virus variant in circulation is the one that spreads most easily. This could be an incredibly deadly version, or one we don’t notice at all.

      Since we, as a society, try to mitigate the deadly ones, we may be helping to select for a more benign one. Who knows what will happen?
