Anti-Vaccine Diamond (of Diamond and Silk) Dead of COVID
Lynnette Hardaway, also known as Diamond, of the pro-Trump duo Diamond and Silk, has died at the age of 51. The cause of death is believed to be related to COVID-19, but this has not been confirmed. Diamond and Silk were known for their strong support of President Trump and their vocal opposition to vaccines. The pair's verified Twitter account has requested privacy and has not provided any additional information on the manner of death. President Trump released a statement mourning the loss, saying, “Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans. Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina. Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!” As more information becomes available, we will provide updates. It would be a shame if Hardaway’s life could have been saved had she taken the COVID-19 vaccine.
Trump Interview So Humiliating Even Friendly Host Can't Save Him
Donald Trump did another deranged, low-energy interview that made it seem like he’s now disinterested in talking politics. Trump was on Real America’s Voice, where he spoke about the twelve documents that were in Joe Biden’s possession until they were recently handed over to the National Archives. The former president made it seem like his own documents investigation was no big deal, while the Biden matter is something to be concerned about. He said, “well, I think it totally changes it I mean, he's again, he's under this federal act. It's very tough. And I was perfect under the Presidential Records Act. We were negotiating with [the National Archives].” Missing from his analysis is how Biden's lawyers came into contact with the documents and proactively reached out to the National Archives to return them. Trump, on the other hand, took documents, didn’t secure them, refused to return them, lied about returning them, and ultimately gave the FBI no choice but to serve a search warrant on his home to seize them. There is no parallel to be drawn here, but likely Trump’s gullible supporters will be convinced by his take.
From yesterday’s show:
Sick Trump Suggests Wrecking Economy to Help Him in 2024
Donald Trump is now suggesting that Republicans should do their best to sabotage the American economy for two years in order to benefit him politically ahead of the 2024 election. The former president posted to Truth Social, “REPUBLICANS CAN GET ALMOST EVERYTHING BACK THAT ‘THE OLD BROKEN CROW,’ MITCH McCONNELL, AND THE REAL ‘LEADER,’ CHINA CENTRIC COCO CHOW, STUPIDLY GAVE UP TO THE DEMOCRATS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, BY SIMPLY PLAYING TOUGH IN THE UPCOMING DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS. WITH THE ‘RIGHT’ NEGOTIATORS.” Trump is saying it would be acceptable for Republicans to torpedo debt ceiling negotiations which could lead to the US defaulting on its debt, destroying the value of the dollar and the resolve of the economy. This is just the latest example of how, for Trump, what’s best for him is far more important than what is best for the country.
From yesterday’s show:
"Died Suddenly" is the New Conspiracy Theory
The COVID vaccine conspiracy theories are back in full swing with the new detail anti-vaxxers focusing on being seemingly healthy people “dying suddenly.” One such person they’ve been attributing this to is Damar Hamlin, who went into cardiac arrest on the field of an NFL football game last week, but luckily was able to make a recovery. This type of thinking uses the logical fallacy of believing correlation equals causation. Just because someone is vaccinated against COVID and later dies from some cause, that doesn’t mean it’s the vaccine that killed them. It’s also important to consider the base rates. In a population of vaccinated or unvaccinated people, some portion of those people in those groups is going to die over a given period of time. What’s necessary is to compare the total death counts between the two groups to see if there’s any sort of causal link, rather than just focusing on one or a few anomalous cases.
