Because the Republicans are too chicken shit to go and fight an actual war they decided to create the War on Christmas. This song is for all the FOX News-humping patrio-fascists, gun-fondling gasbags and Christianity-bastardizing thugs.

Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff called Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., a "coward" on Sunday for refusing to participate in any debates ahead of their January runoff election in Georgia.
Perdue will be "represented by an empty podium" at the Atlanta Press Club's Dec. 6 debate, according to Georgia Public Broadcasting. The debate organizer said the move was not its "preference," but Perdue had "decided not to participate."
Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., is scheduled to debate her Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock in Georgia's other runoff race on Dec. 6, the Atlanta Press Club said. The two runoffs will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate for the next two years. Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives as they reclaim control of the White House under President-elect Joe Biden.
Perdue likewise withdrew from his previously scheduled final debate with Ossoff before Election Day after a clip of the Democrat calling the incumbent a "crook" went viral.

"It's not just that you're a crook, senator. It's that you're attacking the health of the people that you represent. You did say COVID-19 was no deadlier than the flu. You did say there would be no significant uptick in cases. All the while, you were looking after your own assets and your own portfolio," Ossoff said as he brought up the senator's stock trades.
As the Associated Press reported, "Perdue was among a group of senators whose stock trades came under scrutiny. Perdue denied any wrongdoing, saying the trades were handled by outside advisers and that he was cleared by a Senate Ethics Committee investigation."
After Perdue declined to participate in the Dec. 6 debate, Ossoff said, "Perdue isn't just a crook -- he's a coward too."
"David 'empty podium' Perdue," Ossoff also tweeted, adding that the Republican "can't defend his lies about COVID-19, self-dealing stock trades, his bigotry, or his votes to take away Georgians' health care."
The Perdue campaign said the runoff was "an extension" of the Nov. 3 election, and "we've already had two debates." It also accused Ossoff of "lying to Georgians on TV" as it criticized the state's runoff rules.
"In nearly every other state, Perdue would have been re-elected already," the campaign added.
Perdue edged out Ossoff by a margin of 49.7% to 48%, falling just short of the 50% threshold needed to win the race outright.
"This is one of the most consequential elections in Georgia history, unfolding amid a health and economic crisis, but it appears Sen. Perdue is too much of a coward to defend his record in a public debate. If Senator Perdue doesn't want to answer questions, that's fine. He just shouldn't run for re-election to the U.S. Senate," Ossoff said in response. "I offer the senator any or all of these six debates — if he has the self-confidence to debate in public."
The debates between the two candidates were tense as Ossoff hit out at Perdue over an "anti-Semitic" ad which appeared to have enlarged his nose, as well as Perdue's attempts to tie payments to Ossoff's documentary production company from a Hong Kong telecom agency to "Communist China."
"You've continued to demean yourself throughout this campaign with your conduct. First, you were lengthening my nose in attack ads to remind everybody that I'm Jewish," Ossoff said at one of the debates. "Then, when that didn't work, you started calling me some kind of Islamic terrorist. And then, when that didn't work, you started calling me a Chinese communist."
After Perdue declined to participate in any subsequent debates, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said, "Given the beating that Perdue took in their last debate, this is no surprise."
After calling out Perdue at the debate, Ossoff hit out at the senator for mockingly mispronouncing Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' name.
"The most insidious thing that Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden are trying to perpetrate, and Bernie, and Elizabeth, and KAH-mah-la, or Kah-MAH-la, or KAH-mah-la or Kamala-mala-mala," Perdue said during a Trump rally in Georgia. "I don't know. Whatever."

Ossoff said one day later that his campaign had raised $1 million "since my opponent disgraced himself with bigoted mockery of Kamala's name at yesterday's Trump rally."
If Ossoff and Warnock win, Harris would have the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, giving Democrats control of the upper chamber.
Why Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds Is Going To Hell
Governor Kim Reynolds Your Anti Mask Policy Helped To MAGA
 |
| Hell Bound Whore Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds With The Anti-Christ |
Like David Purdue your so called "lies" about masks and the virus were a good thing. In the US only about 2.6 people who get the China Virus will die. Most of the people who die will be old people. Old people suck and they smell bad. Texas Lt Governor has made that clear.
Actually, in reality, most of the people COVID-19 is infecting and killing are the sort of trash who would vote for and and the Orange Menace and that is why I'm glad you allowed Iowa to get so out of control with the the virus. You are right, mask wearing will be hard to enforce. It's not like the people of Iowa are moral and intelligent like the Japanese who listened to reason and science and their morals and cared about the rights and well being of their countrymen. The fact that a scumbag like you is governor of Iowa speaks to the morals of the trash who elected you.
You are right, the asshoiles in your state won't comply with mask wearing and a lot of them will die as a result of their selfishness and anti-Americanism. I'm not trying to shame you for two reasons. First, you are a Republican and therefore you have no shame and secondly, your policies have helped to reduce the MAGAt population and that makes the whole world a better place. The surge is a purge and you helped.
When you stood bare faced with the Orange Menace and that MAGAt rally and gleefully stared at the sea of un-masked MAGAts you helped to hasten the deaths of those MAGAts and the MAGAts with whom they associate. Since you are a member of the depraved GOP you will feel no shame or guilt. The Bible tells us that you are predestined for hell, "God shall send them strong delusion that they will believe a lie that might be damned but you are most likely damned already according to scripture and you will most likely spend eternity in hell. Oh happy day! If on the off chance that you sincerely repent for your life of depravity and sin (whores like you sin a lot) you need not feel guilty because the end result of your depravity was good. People died because of you and God has sorted the wheat from the chaff and the lambs from the goats.
Unlike what the trash in the Bible belt believe, salvation through grace is a bunch of BS. You can't be an asshole your whole life and suddenly accept Jesus and all is forgiven. You have to repent and amend your life but since you are probably predestined for hell you would be incapable of sincere and true repentance. But maybe you should at least give it a try. No cleric can make this happen. You have to figure it out on your own and BTW, the punishments for unrepentant sinners receive in hell varies from case to case.
You caused a lot of deaths and you knew your actions would cause a lot of deaths. You knew that you had the power to prevent a lot of those deaths but because of your total depravity you chose to follow the anti-Christ/4th beast who calls himself the Chosen One and the King of Israel. If you are in denial about that simply Google Trump 666.
Even trash like you can and do have horrible panic attacks. Your depravity has not canceled out your logic and the knowledge of the fate of your eternal soul and consciousness. Not only is this Biblical it is also science. The soul exists in all living things. Now you know how screwed you are if you don't denounce the Anti-Christ and amend your life. If you have any doubts...

COVID-19 Deaths Per Million In the US is Among the Highest in the US.
This is not a bad thing. Most of the COVID-19 deaths in the US are anti-maskers/Trump supporters and Trump is helping to kill them with his stalling and not turning over documents to Biden. Even if Trump were cooperating very few MAGAts will be saved. A vaccine deployment will be more difficult because of Trump.
Depending on what sources you read the death rate from COVID-19 in the US is between 4 and 2.6 percent. Even a 1% reduction is the MAGAt population is a good thing and in heavily MAGAt infested districts a super spreader event may be enough to exterminate enough MAGAts to turn those districts blue.
COVID-19 is just getting warmed up. I suspect that the curve will begin to flatten by May of 2021 but the decline in cases and deaths will be a shallow decline and a slow burn will continue until late 2022 followed by another surge. The surge is a PURGE!
Another Republican Tests Positive for COVID-19
DES MOINES — Iowa's U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, the oldest Republican currently serving in the Senate, has tested positive for coronavirus, he announced Tuesday afternoon.
"While I still feel fine, the test came back positive for the coronavirus. I am continuing to follow my doctors’ orders and CDC guidelines," Grassley said in a statement. "I’ll be keeping up on my work for the people of Iowa from home. I appreciate everyone’s well wishes and prayers, and look forward to resuming my normal schedule when I can."
The 87-year-old announced Tuesday morning that he was in quarantine while awaiting a test result after learning he’d been exposed to the virus. That test came back positive. He is the sixth member of the Senate to have reported a positive test.
Grassley said Tuesday morning that he plans to continue working virtually from home, according to the statement. His spokesperson, Michael Zona, said Grassley can participate in nearly all Senate business aside from voting.
The 87-year-old senator chairs the Senate Finance Committee and is the president pro tempore of the Senate, making him third in line for the presidency after the vice president and speaker of the House. He was first elected to the Senate in 1980.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people older than 80 face the steepest risk of severe complications from the coronavirus. That's especially true if they have other chronic health issues.
Grassley, currently serving his seventh term, often brags that he hasn't missed a Senate vote since July 20, 1993 when severe flooding damaged Iowa. That was more than 27 years ago. That streak of 8,927 consecutive votes ended Tuesday since the Senate has not allowed members to vote remotely during the coronavirus pandemic as the House has.
Grassley was last in the Senate on Monday, when he made remarks asking Iowans to do their part to limit the spread of the virus by washing their hands, limiting activity outside of their household, social distancing and wearing a mask.
Op Ed: I will not be wishing death on Senator Grassley like I would on death deserving traitors Ron Johnson and Rand Paul. Grassley has never been a major scumbag Republican.
"Although promising vaccines for the coronavirus are on the horizon it’s more important than ever to stop the surge. Countries across the world are seeing cases explode. It’s critical for Iowans to step up their personal responsibilities to stay safe and healthy for themselves and their loved ones," he said in his last remarks before his diagnosis.
"We’re going to get through this together, but we need everyone to do their part."
Grassley also attended a meeting with Senate Republican leadership on Monday, which includes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. And he was seen on the Senate floor patting the back of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Both senators were wearing masks.
It was not immediately clear whether any others senators might quarantine due to Grassley's diagnosis.
Grassley holds the record for longest length of time without missing a vote in the history of the Senate. He broke the previous record, held by the late U.S. Sen. William Proxmire of Wisconsin, in 2016.
"I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to vote today in the Senate, but the health of others is more important than any record. My voting streak reflects how seriously I take my commitment to represent Iowans. Choosing not to potentially expose others to this deadly virus is obviously the right and responsible thing to do," Grassley said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
Grassley has completed his annual 99-county tour of Iowa this year, a tradition he's maintained every year he's been in the Senate.
Zona said staff have been limiting contact with Grassley since the beginning of the pandemic and have been following the guidelines of the Senate physician regarding social distancing and mask wearing.
"Those who have been in contact with Sen. Grassley have been appropriately notified and are instructed to follow the advice of their physicians as well as all CDC and local health guidelines," Zona said in an email.
Asked if Grassley knows where he was exposed to the virus, Zona said: "We will provide further details when we are able."
Zona said Grassley will quarantine "for as long as his doctors recommend."
In early October, Grassley said he would not seek a coronavirus test after attending a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting with a fellow senator who later tested positive for the virus. At the time, Zona said Grassley's doctors did not recommend he get tested since he was not within six feet of U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, who tested positive.
Grassley campaigned around the state for President Donald Trump, U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst and other Republicans prior to the Nov. 3 election, including at a Trump rally in Dubuque on Nov. 1.
Congresswoman-elect Ashley Hinson, another soon-to-be member of Iowa's congressional delegation, also tested positive for coronavirus recently. Hinson, a Republican who will be sworn in to represent the 1st Congressional District in January, said she has no idea where she got the virus.

Human ageing process biologically reversed in world first by Israeli scientists
The ageing process has been biologically reversed for the first time by giving humans oxygen therapy in a pressurised chamber.
Scientists in Israel showed they could turn back the clock in two key areas of the body believed to be responsible for the frailty and ill-health that comes with growing older.
As people age, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes – called telomeres – shorten, causing DNA to become damaged and cells to stop replicating. At the same time, "zombie" senescent cells build up in the body, preventing regeneration.
Increasing telemere length and getting rid of senescent cells is the focus of many anti-ageing studies, and drugs are being developed to target those areas.
Now scientists at Tel Aviv University have shown that giving pure oxygen to older people while in a hyperbaric chamber increased the length of their telomeres by 20 per cent, a feat that has never been achieved before.
Scientists said the growth may mean that the telomeres of trial participants were now as long as they had been 25 years earlier.
The therapy also reduced senescent cells by up to 37 per cent, making way for new healthy cells to regrow. Animal studies have shown that removing senescent cells extends remaining life by more than one third.
"Since telomere shortening is considered the 'Holy Grail' of the biology of ageing, many pharmacological and environmental interventions are being extensively explored in the hopes of enabling telomere elongation," said Professor Shai Efrati of the Faculty of Medicine and Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University.
"The significant improvement of telomere length shown during and after these unique protocols provides the scientific community with a new foundation of understanding that ageing can indeed be targeted and reversed at the basic cellular-biological level."
Many scientists now believe ageing itself is responsible for major conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
It is also known that obesity, smoking, lack of physical activity, vitamin deficiency and inflammation can speed up the shortening of telomeres, demonstrating that they have a major impact on longevity.
The trial included 35 healthy independent adults aged 64 and older who did not undergo any lifestyle, diet or medication adjustments. Each patient was placed in a hyperbaric chamber for 90 minutes for five days a week over three months while breathing 100 per cent oxygen through a mask.
The pressurised chamber allows more oxygen to be dissolved into the tissues and mimics a state of "hypoxia", or oxygen shortage, which is known to have regenerating effects.
Previous trials have shown that eating a healthy diet can preserve telomere length, while high-intensity training for six months has been proven to lengthen telomeres by up to five per cent.
The Israeli team has also previously demonstrated that the pressurised oxygen therapy can improve cognitive decline.
"Until now, interventions such as lifestyle modifications and intense exercise were shown to have some inhibition effect on the expected telomere length shortening," said Dr Amir Hadanny, chief medical research officer of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research.
"However, what is remarkable to note in our study is that, in just three months of therapy, we were able to achieve such significant telomere elongation – at rates far beyond any of the current available interventions or lifestyle modifications.
"With this pioneering study, we have opened a door for further research on the prolonged cellular impact of the therapy to reverse the ageing process. After dedicating our research to exploring its impact on the areas of brain functionality and age-related cognitive decline, we have now uncovered, for the first time in humans, biological effects at the cellular level in healthy ageing adults."
The research was published in the journal Ageing.

Trumpers & COVID-19 & Facts Oh my!
Currently 3.5% of COVID patients die.
Currently most COVID deaths are in the red states and most victims are anti-maskers
Trumpers maybe immune to facts, truth and logic but they are NOT immune to this virus.
Trumpers are the ones spreading the virus.
Masks are 70% effective in protecting the wearer.
Trumpers still believe or pretend to believe the virus is a "Demoncrat hoax".
Trumpers are dropping like flies.
Trumpers are a detriment to a lawful civilized
society. There is no denying their depravity.
Compare Japan's COVID-19 facts with Texas and ask yourself why Japan has a low infection rate, death rate while having 12 times the population of Texas and a population density of 901 persons per sq miile. Japan never did a lockdown. Sure President Abe is moral man and good leader but compared to Texans the Japanese are saints. Who would you rather govern amoral arrogant gun fondling selfish Texans or Japanese with respect the rights and the well being of others?
Do you think it is possible to have a moreal society or nation when nearly 50% of the population support a traitorous liar who have everything in common with the anti-Christ and nothing in common with Christ.
The data says the current death rate in over one quarter on a million. The real numbers are probably higher.
The question to think about is, "It moral to save people who will probably be more harm than good if they are prevented from their suicides"?
Republican lies and policies harm and kill good people. Ask Iraq about that. Given the fact that nearly all of the COVID-19 deaths are now MAGAts wouldn't moral, prudent and rational thing be to open up the country and let them infect each other? I suspect that some red districts will turn blue because of COVID deaths. South Dakota's MAGAts are being decimated.
