Biden banned travel from South Africa because of the new Covid variant.
Immigrants have recently been apprehended crossing our border illegally from South Africa.
Biden is doing nothing to stop immigrants from South Africa entering illegally.
Pure politics and hypocrisy.
And this is an actual human and not some bot/satire. It's getting hard to tell.
For more of that, Jimmy Kimmel recently asked Americans if the SNL satire of Lauren Bobert were too mean / over the top (spoiler there was no SNL):

BTW this is not entirely on-topic, but it's fascinating. Nobody wants to admit they didn't hear about (made up) social media news so they just completely and naturally lie about having heard of it, digging themselves into bigger and bigger holes.

Something a bit more depressing, QAnon believe in something called "Med beds". Basically they're magically healing beds ala Stargate style healing pods. The idea is that if Trump is reinstated he'll roll out the med beds for magical healing. Apparently they have them in bubblewrap storage or something.
I've been reading these statements from older QAnons saying "my wife has terminal cancer why are they taking so long with the med beds?". It's ludicrous but tragic stuff.
They don't support a national health system or medicare for all but the support the release of the magical med beds. However ... part of the fantasy is actually that a ride on the Med Bed will cost $15000. Thus ensuring only the worthy get to use them and we're not letting, god forbid, poor people get the magic healing.

If there was any doubt what the critical race theory noise was really about...

A Tennessee chapter of "Moms for Liberty" filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Education alleging that assigning 2nd Graders a book about MLK Jr's March on Washington violated the state's new law banning Critical Race Theory
Moms for liberty... except when it's about certain groups of people, it seems.

it's actually a good thing that people would do lawsuits against it. Because if the law is challenged then they have to actually define what they mean by "critical race theory". Which isn't that. While it's shitty that the law exists, most of the intended effect is to have a "chilling effect" on what's taught in schools. but things like that lawsuit actually undermine the strategy, because they force the courts to have to clarify specifically what's banned. Which makes it possible for teachers to then craft anti-racist classroom content that specifically just avoids anything that came out of CRT.

Guys, as I've already said, bullshit like "CRITICAL (ahah) something" is simply a pretending mimicry by the Right of the "average intellectual libtard" attitude.
"We got totally intelligent buzzwords too!!111 Come and learn!!!111 We got ACCURATE SCIENCE"
Of couse it's bullshit to make feel far right voters "intelligent too". Intellectual "elegant" excuses=ideology by definition (of Marx).
I'm not stupid, I'm in the know about CRITICAL RACE THEORY the Left is carefully hiding from your eyes thanks to the POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS!!!

They didn't do a lawsuit. They simply pressured the Tennessee Department of Education to drop the book (and three others, including two about Ruby Bridges) and the department declined based on a technicality. The CRT banning law seems to be working as intended so far.

Hmm well, not sure what to do about it then. An actual testing of the law in court would force them to define WTH they even mean by Critical Race Theory, which isn't what their goal is.

QAnon’s ‘Queen of Canada’ Calls for Followers to ‘Kill’ People Vaccinating Children
...
In a post on Sunday to her over 70,000 followers on Telegram, Didulo issued an order to the soldiers of her “Kingdom of Canada’s Military.” She demanded the mass arrests of those they consider opposition, and wanted her soldiers to take control of newspapers and seize the border.
“Shoot to kill anyone who tries to inject Children under the age of 19 years old with Coronavirus19 vaccines/ bioweapons or any other Vaccines,” she wrote. “This order is effective immediately.”
Now if people start actually listening to Queen Romana things would get ugly real quick. Even Hitler was more subtle than she is. She's living in a fantasy world where she's already a ruthless dictator-queen who gives execution orders. Some of her followers believe she's already executing people, and the loudly cheer about how much hope she brings. Murder all the doctors. Such a voice of hope.

Looks like this time there were actually some consequences, which is kind of surprisingly late into the game, given how unhinged she has been.

Romana Didulo, a leading Canadian QAnon figure with an alleged history of encouraging her followers to shoot health-care workers, was taken into custody by the RCMP's national security team in Victoria, B.C.
Didulo, who often refers to herself as the “Queen of Canada,” said in a YouTube video that the RCMP's integrated national-security enforcement team (INSET) served her with a search warrant and told her she was being detained under B.C.'s mental health act.
A justice of the peace for the Victoria Court Registry confirmed that an RCMP search warrant was issued on Nov. 27 for an address linked to Didulo.
[...]
According to Didulo, officers arrived at her home on Nov. 27, just days after she allegedly told her followers to “shoot to kill” all health-care workers involved with administering COVID-19 vaccines.
“They called out my name and said ‘open this door or we are going to break it in,'” she said in a YouTube video. “I was placed in handcuffs and escorted by multiple officers.”
Didulo said in the video the officers who arrested her were “very caring and polite” and that she was taken to the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria for a psychiatric assessment.
