    I left Georgia with my RV in the middle of the pandemic height in 2020 and "fled" to the west so I totally understand this. I spent the worst of the pandemic in California by choice because it's the only state I felt safe in as a high-risk person. People were more considerate of me and other high-risk persons and all my neighbours were happily vaccinated. I'm back here again in 2023 and most of us have had our boosters. Some of us (myself included) have not had COVID despite traveling full-time. I've been to about 6 countries since the start of the pandemic and lived in 3. I still mask in airplanes and follow all the original guidelines from the CDC. Other people can afford to slack off, I guess, but for high-risk persons, the threat of COVID is always looming overhead. I have yet to move back to Georgia and don't think I will ever live there full-time again. The heartbeat bill was already a red flag for me, but the way Kemp handled the pandemic was the final straw. These days Georgia does seem to be doing better, but we'll see.

    Great job BBC you peddled covid vax propaganda and pushed angry liberals comments. Now the shot doesn't stop transmission or infection . Liberals get out of there and move to a communist state like cali where I'm leaving to a place with real freedom.

    Funny seeing this today. Everyone from California, Georgia, and New York are moving to TN in the millions to escape the mandates from Blue states, because they are fed up with the crap. Tennessee believes in the freedom to choose for yourself, we are not controlled idiots. We believe in our constitution, if you don't like it, move out of TN! We are full, and we don't want you here either!

    If she is so uncomfortable living in a freedom of choice state maybe she should move to China. Then she will feel so much better knowing everyone will wear masks, get locked up in their homes, have their bank accounts frozen. That should make her happy!

    We literally bought a house in Tennessee because of California's ridiculous overreaction to Covid. My 16-year-old son could not sit in a food court and drink a smoothie without providing proof of vaccination. He also was forced to stay home a year and a half and do zoom school which was a complete waste of time although he was never in much danger from covid. We all know now how well those vaccinations stopped the spread of covid and how well those mandated cloth masks worked

    Why is there so much b-roll of this reporter showing off his camera equipment or awkwardly setting up really bad placard shots, like the projections on the walls and ceiling? Was he also the editor? In one scene he even talks about how someone is holding his camera. Because his gear fetish is incredibly distracting.

    Besides a muddled comment about education and rabbit holes, Sarah complained about the radical laws in California but couldn't articulate which she disagreed with. This is what happens when lonely uninformed people go to Trump pep rallies, they suddenly believe that they are more knowledgeable than a Poli Sci major.

    Conservatives and Christians in name only. They do not love, unite, or demonstrate any of the family values that they've spent over 30 years lecturing us on. These adults suddenly care about the sensitivity and mental health of children? Weren't they the ones who mocked us when we wanted to foster the self esteem of youth and awarded everyone a trophy? Their lies, hypocrisy, hate and bigotry has gotten to a place that we may never recover from.

    Living in red NC is exactly the same ! I make it a point to mind my own business especially when in public. I have no desire to engage these folks or try to change their minds because I know it’s a waste of time, and also it gives them a perfect target for that aggression they’re dying to let loose. I’ve had 3 “run ins” initiated by anti-maskers in the last 6 months. The last one was a clerk at a convenience store. She was visibly livid because I was wearing a mask. She kept pointing to it and making snide remarks about it , calling it “that ridiculous thing on your face”. THE CLERK. Aren’t you at work? It was so inappropriate and aggressive. There were even a couple of EMTs in uniform on duty giving me nasty looks and snickering at the clerks remarks to me. I was so shocked – even for this area that was over the top. It was so aggressive, and for the second time I genuinely felt unsafe. The first was a man in Walmart, no mask, standing so close to me it looked like we were a couple. I could hear his breathing. When I finally asked him to please back up a little, he and the woman behind him started scoffing and making comments about me being a “paranoid hysteric”. And were acting like I was being unreasonable because I didn’t want this man I didn’t know standing literally 10 inches from my left shoulder, IN WALMART. They love to accuse others of being aggressive and unruly but around here I’ve only seen the aggression coming from one direction. They’re also in the process of ruining what was once a highly desirable school district with their personal politics. They are making teachers who are sick and still testing positive report to work anyway – just learned this today in a parents group where teachers can post anonymously. The BOE members here are openly racist, and routinely go on political rants about trump, “illegals”, CRT, and every other cliche you hear on FOX etc. It’s heartbreaking. We bought acreage with the intention of being here a long time. Now we’re facing that we may have to sell and leave the state. We have friends in England, France, and Germany who are encouraging us to ex-pat. We had hoped this would get better and things would die down, but it seems to be ramping up with the elections coming around again. Now they’re doing book bonfires. No one burning books has ever been on the right side of history. Its starting to feel now like we should get out while we can. This is all so surreal.

    If we didn't have mandated immunizations before attending grammar school.
    We would still have polio, small pox, and other diseases running rampant in our country.
    That's why the logic thinking of the right wing conspiracy theorists makes no damn sense. 🙄

    Ignorance+arrogance+fear+hate= White evangelical Americans + bad faith politicians + corporations + a sprinkling of ill-informed people of color. So sad. If American education were at least just average, we could have fought off these foolish people who are so gullible and misinformed. I hope for a graceful ending for this doctor and her family. In moments like these I wonder why after nearly 15 years away I chose to come back. Next time I leave, unless these fools in office are voted out and we live another day, I won't be coming back long-term except for visits or my own funeral. Good riddance.

Attending a school board meeting when he doesn't even have any children is being opportunistic. Let's all pray this man NEVER procreates.

    January 27, 2024 at 10:04 am

    I feel for these people, the unreasonable stance against vaccinations goes against all the evidence that vaccinations work. Smallpox, mumps, measles, and polio are almost never seen because of mandatory vaccination of all children. Why are people taking issue now? Because of misinformation on the internet and Fox news. IMO the freedom of speech has come at too high a price, that price is the price of living in a perpetual pandemic costing millions their lives.

    No more masks and no more ignoring that science is not settled! I moved to TN from a state that is under tyrannical rule. The media is part of blowing up the lies in the pandemic. Public health should include actual information on HEALTH not pharmaceuticals. Bill Lee is actually not far right he’s very middle ground. She left because she couldn’t push the agenda, Plus she mailed the dog muzzle to herself! TN is one of the last states allowing common sense.

    What pisses me off the most is all the people from Republican counties coming to the cities to get treated for covid when they’re sick and dying. They treat healthcare workers like crap and take all the beds. People in my city have died because there wasn’t a hospital bed available nor a doctor to treat them. All because these incredibly self centered, narcissistic, delusional, conspiracy theorist idiots are taking all our resources. What’s more, many of them are not insured so my insurance will go up to pay for their treatments. And then I hear them spewing endless vitriol at me and my state. I’m sick of them! I’m sick of them forcing their insane stone ages religious views on everybody. I don’t believe their fairy tales yet they are forcing their BS on us. They’re going to outlaw abortion and n ow they’re taking about getting rid of Griswald which gave us our right to privacy. That means they can monitor pregnant women and punish them when they don’t do what they think they should. They will outlaw contraception next. All to control us with their make believe sky people. I’m so sick of the religious nut jobs! I don’t care what they believe in their own lives but what the hell gives them the right to force it on everybody else?

    I was taken aback when she said how much "choice" is important to the residents of Tennessee…especially when they are working to take away a person's "choice" of what to do with their bodies…if pregnant, for example. They are taking away people's "choice" of what to read, by censuring what and what will not, sit on their library's shelves. IE…"To Kill a Mockingbird", I believe I recently read, was being pulled, amongst others. Why? People in this video state that they should have choices…yet choose to tell me what I, or my kid, can read or if my daughter become pregnant, either better find out quickly or have to go to another state for an abortion, if that should be her choice. Why is her choice or my choice to allow her to read certain things less important than other's rights to not wear a mask……especially when their right not to mask or vaccine is infringing on my right to try to stay healthy? To not die? My kid reading a book is not infringing on anyone else's rights. It is all BS and I wonder how many couples like the couple featured above, are having to flee these days because of threats to their safety? I already know that answer. Sadly.

    This pandemic has given us the knowledge of how ignorant nearly 50% of our population is!! These doctors have risked their lives and the lives of their families to save your life!!!! If this pandemic had been treated as the death wave it was in the beginning, we would not be here! The constant lies caused 100's of thousand people to die! This doctor told the truth and for that she's been ostracized! How sad and scary that this country is so ignorant!!!

    That anti mask parent at the school meeting claiming that the people (I suspect he actually meant the young lad who tragically lost his grandmother to COVID and was then mocked for asking masks to be worn and others like him) were sick was right. Only it is the people like him who are sick, he was unintentionally speaking about/describing himself and those like him.
    The US is a dying nation who cares more about war and funding their war machine than doing anything to actively help their own citizens.
    Fortunately I live in a country which hasn't, to date, been infected by this US madness. Unfortunately the country where my family and my in-laws (husband and son-in-law) families all live has been infected by this spreading web of madness and insanity (NZ).
    Thank you BBC for an unbiased, factual and rather terrifying report. May their deity help them.

Ukraine war talks start now, President Trump says after call with President Putin | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has said he had a “lengthy and highly productive” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday in which the leaders agreed to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

Later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had spoken with Trump about a “lasting, reliable peace”.

The calls with the warring sides came as both Trump and his defence secretary said it was unlikely Ukraine would join Nato, which will come as a bitter disappointment to Kyiv.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin supported Trump’s idea that the time had come to work together.

Europe’s leaders tell Trump they must help decide Ukraine’s future | BBC News

Published

European powers including Germany, France and the UK have said they must be part of any negotiations on the fate of Ukraine.

It follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he’s agreed with Russia’s President Putin to begin talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Seven European nations and the European Commission issued a statement saying their shared objective “should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength” and provided with security guarantees to create “a just and lasting peace”. They said Europe and Ukraine must be involved in any negotiations.

President Trump’s announcement raised concerns in Europe and Ukraine that he would agree to Russian annexation of large parts of Ukraine’s territory now occupied by Russian forces. The administration has said it does not believe a return to the pre-war borders is realistic.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky said that no agreement could be reached without his country’s participation in negotiations.
