Need to Know "Texas Tuesday" (19 October 2021) with Joe Olson and Michael Ivey

The death of Colin Powell is one more reminder that America is not a "systemically racist" society, or good black men would not rise to the level of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or of Secretary of State. A rumor has it that he was not only fully vaccinated but that he died from taking a "booster shot", which sounds highly plausible. Bernie has bumbled by writing an Op/Ed in an attempt to influence Joe Manchin to support his "Green New Deal", but Manchin has rejected it as one more attempt by "out of staters" to tell West Virginians how to live their lives, especially when the White House has been implying that socialism will be easier to implement because of the "pandemic". Meanwhile, the purported Parkland shooter is changing his plea to "Guilty!", which absolves the state of proving he did it, which would have been impossible (since it was a staged event). And Paul Craig Roberts has returned to the Boston marathon bombing with an essay excoriating the prosecution and the courts for ignoring blatant exculpatory evidence, which has been brought to their attention again and again.
