Sanders Is Out

I see that Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign yesterday.  He's out, and the last person standing is Joe Biden.

This must be a disheartening  development for my Democrat friends.  I'm sure that Biden is a nice guy, but that's not the choice.  I"d love to drink a beer with him, we'd probably have a few laughs.  But, President?  Seriously?

Tucker Carlson sums it up:
"Ask yourself, is Joe Biden ready to lead this country? Could he find his car in a three-tiered parking garage? Could he navigate a salad bar? And by the way, what exactly is his position on the Coronavirus pandemic? Those are the mysteries Democrats now face."
I was watching Joe's Town Hall meeting yesterday, and he was talking about the corona virus.  He said that we have learned that the virus attacks black people at a much higher rate than it attacks white people, and that is just unconscionable.  Unconscionable?  Does he even know that the word means?  The virus doesn't have a conscience, it attacks hosts where it finds an opportunity.  It's tragic, but it is not racist.  It simply is what it is.

Maybe this explains why:

African American women have the highest rates of obesity or being overweight compared to other groups in the United States. About 4 out of 5 African American women are overweight or obese.

In 2018, non-Hispanic blacks were 1.3 times more likely to be obese as compared to non-Hispanic whites.

In 2018, African American women were 50 percent more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic white women.

From 2013-2016, non-Hispanic black females were 2.3 times more likely to be overweight as compared to non-Hispanic white females.

People who are overweight are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, high levels of blood fats, diabetes and LDL cholesterol – all risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

In 2018, African Americans were 20 percent less likely to engage in active physical activity as compared to non-Hispanic whites.



Those figures are straight the the US Dept of Health & Human Services.
