The Story About Biden Checking His Watch During Dignified Transfer Just Got a Lot Worse by Leah Barkoukis
"President Biden came under fire on Sunday after he was caught checking his watch during the dignified transfer of fallen U.S. service members killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport last week.
...“That didn’t happen just once,” he alleged. “That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute and he’d look down at his watch. On every last one. All 13—he looked down at his watch.”
..."I actually leaned into my son's mother's ear and said 'I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time...' I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen,” said the father of slain Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz...Read all.

"...Delays, product shortages and rising costs continue to bedevil businesses large and small.
And consumers are confronted with an experience once rare in modern times: no stock available, and no idea when it will come in.
In the face of an enduring shortage of computer chips, Toyota this month announced that it would slash its global production of cars by 40%.
Factories around the world are limiting operations — despite powerful demand for their wares — because they cannot buy metal parts, plastics and other raw materials.
...In Britain, the National Health Service recently advised that it must delay some blood tests because of a shortage of needed gear.
A recent survey by the Confederation of British Industry found the worst shortages of parts in the history of the index, which started in 1977.

Harvard Epidemiologist Says the Case for COVID Vaccine Passports Was Just Demolished - Foundation for Economic Education
"New research found that natural immunity offers exponentially more protection than COVID-19 vaccines.
A newly published medical study found that infection from COVID-19 confers considerably longer-lasting and stronger protection against the Delta variant of the virus than vaccines.
...“The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.”
Put another way, vaccinated individuals were 27 times more likely to get a symptomatic COVID infection than those with natural immunity from COVID.

Military members speak against vaccine mandates with Massie - TheBlaze:
"This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to require a member of the Armed Forces to receive a COVID-19 vaccination," the bill states, which has 31 cosponsors. "The bill also prohibits adverse action (e.g., punishment) being taken against a member of the Armed Forces because the member refuses to receive a COVID-19 vaccination."
On Friday, Massie hosted a roundtable discussion with a dozen members of the U.S. military to hear their concerns about the imminent vaccine mandate. The military members remained anonymous to avoid any backlash or retribution for their opinions on the COVID-19 vaccine. Massie's office did vet each service member for authenticity for the conference call.

"TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — California authorities are investigating why a man found passed out in a car had more than
300 unopened mail-in ballots for the gubernatorial recall election.
The man was arrested Aug. 16 after being found in a store parking lot in Torrance, police said.
