\nQuote – In a Monday op-ed for The Hill, former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) argued that Powell\u2019s reappointment would give Biden \u201cstrong support\u201d to pass a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure and social services plan \u2014 what they called the \u201cmost important issue facing us today…. We believe the national interest will be best served by President Biden reappointing Jerome Powell to chair the Federal Reserve System,\u201d Dodd and Frank wrote.

\nQuote – These folks were so swollen they were completely unrecognizable. We were also getting sent a lot of people who had died from COVID in nursing homes back at that time, and many of them had not been dead very long at all…. The blood tends to settle out because it\u2019s no longer flowing and it\u2019ll gravitate to the dependent part of the body. The longer a body sits, the more blood clots that they develop. I was having people that had only been dead for a few hours and there were major clotting issues. The clots were the size of pancakes \u2015 you never, never see those with someone who didn\u2019t die of COVID.
\nClick through if you can take it (it gets worse)<\/a>. I won’t say we have been lied to, but we have definitely not been fully briefed on what CoViD does to the human body. I can see why not … but I still thik it was a mistake.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Donald Trump definitely did not win the 2020 presidential election, but nearly six in 10 GOP voters polled by CNN say it\u2019s at least somewhat important for Republicans to continue believing that he did.
