Dear Editor,

As Yogi Berra once said “it seems like Deja Vu all over again.”  Masks are good. Once we hit 70% vaccination rate we are home free and you won’t get the virus. You won’t need a booster shot. Then it all changed. CDC hardly makes new guidelines and DR. Fauci comes out to “clarify” or totally contradict it. So which trail of science are we to follow?

Contradiction is everywhere in the political world. Pres. Biden is urging everyone to get vaxed and to wear masks, yet people coming across the border legally may or may not get tested for COVID.  But regardless, they are not vaccinated but get distributed to unknown parts of the country. HELLO, IS ANYBODY HOME?!!! A Democrat has asked that VP Harris be replaced by a new Immigration Czar.  I didn’t like it when Bill Clinton began the use of the title “Czar” for administrative positions, but it allowed him to put people in positions without approval of congress. I will leave it up to you to put in your favorite. There are plenty who qualify.  Choose one now but don’t vote for them come 2022.

Did you know that as of 2021 eight of the richest African American Billionaires are Americans and 25% of all American millionaires are African Americans, Hispanic, or Asian. Where else in the world is this true?  I imagine nowhere!
