People still travel long distances for work and necessities, increasing the risk of spillover. And in the case of South Carolina, the beginning of the outbreak in early October set the stage for a spike in cases driven by more gatherings around Thanksgiving. Some students in South Carolina have been quarantined multiple times because of new cases detected in their schools. What they're saying: The South Carolina Department of Public Health said there are no vaccination events now scheduled for Spartanburg County, adding its mobile health unit is available to any organization that requests a visit. "Some cases are travel-related exposures or close contacts of known cases. Other cases have no identified source, suggesting that measles is circulating in the community and could spread further," the health department said in a statement. Threat level: Local officials worry that people who are either electing not to keep their kids up to date on vaccines or resist the shots completely tend to live close to each other, and are creating geographic pockets of significant risk for more outbreaks. "This is just another example of why it's important for us to have federal leadership ... our state boundaries are arbitrary in some way," Raynard Washington, health director in Mecklenburg County, N.C., which is about an hour from the outbreak center, told Axios. "The reality is that people in Fort Mill, South Carolina, come over to Charlotte every day for work or to shop or to play." https://www.axios.com/2025/12/16/measles-outbreak-south-carolina-response
The bottom line is that measles is back because of anti-vaxxers who aren’t vaxxing their kids in predominantly GOP districts. Not immigrants. Not the boogeyman. Not Biden. |

Less than three months after the racist fascist right wing cried, whined, and begged for anyone remotely critical of Charlie Kirk to be fired and decimated - it’s crickets when Trump does worse after Rob Reiner was murdered. Why are the MAGAs such hateful, godless cowards when their king does the exact thing they cried like babies about several months ago? Is it because they have no spine? Or they just really hate America that much? We can all agree that Trump’s cowardly acts deserve no recognition. By why are the rest of the cowards hiding in shame? Is it because they are spineless and shameless, and have no morals? |

I agree, Trump’s dementia is far more evident than ever. Dude spent six minutes talking about snakes at a Christmas party. He doesn’t even know where he is anymore. The MAGAs are trying to hide the dementia, but all you have to do is pay attention and you see it on the daily. MAGA = Making America Dementia YAY We Don’t Know How to Spell |

Who lives on the Arizona/Utah border? White LDS and Navajo, that's who. And there aren't that many people on the Navajo side of things, it's pretty sparse. |

FUNNY, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF IMMIGRANTS CAUSING THE OUTBREAKS
Measles outbreaks are growing along the Utah-Arizona border and in South Carolina, where hundreds are in quarantine.
Between Friday and Tuesday, South Carolina health officials confirmed 27 new measles cases in an outbreak in and around northwestern Spartanburg County. In two months, 111 people have been sickened by the vaccine-preventable virus. More than 250 people, including students from nine area elementary, middle and high schools, are in quarantine — some for the second time since the outbreak began in October. Most of the state's new cases stemmed from exposures at Way of Truth Church in Inman. Church leaders have been "very helpful," said state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell. "We are faced with ongoing transmission that we anticipate will go on for many more weeks, at least in our state," Bell said. In Arizona and Utah, an outbreak has ballooned since August. Mohave County, Arizona, has logged 172 cases and the Southwest Utah Public Health Department has logged 82 cases. The border cities of Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, are the heaviest hit. Overall, Utah has confirmed 115 measles cases this year. Arizona has confirmed 176. Nationally, the measles case count is nearing 2,000 for a disease that has been considered eliminated in the U.S. since 2000. Cases have mostly spread among people who were unvaccinated. |

@UNIMAN Yeah, that's because his best friend for 50 years died. Can't remember if the godless felon gave him the Rob Reiner treatment or not.

You will never get an apology from a maga, their brains have been taken over by trump and they dont believe anything in the world except the words that come out of their idols mouth. Trumps help for parents at Christmas time "BUY YOUR KIDS LESS PENCILS AND DOLLS" The guy is a genius at helping parents save money. There is no doubt trump deserves a nobel prize in finance LOL, I agree, it's not a very popular policy.

We pass off stunts like buying votes for an election of a judge as "free speech" we pass off the elimination of key government groups and organizations via Musk as "efficiency and cost savings" when the truth is the targets of these moves is to eliminate diversity, forward ultra conservative white agenda and minimize minorities and other groups. Most recently there was a book ban list created by the TNC for just one institution, that might seem minor and its just one instance but in realty that is how the scheme works, take little pieces of ultra conservative agenda and hope it is not contested, then do another and another. A book ban is not something that this country should ever allow and is anti-free speech (which seems odd since Trump campaigned hard for free speech, but for him free speech just means the ability to destroy those who are against him and his fascist approach). Systematically the project 2025 agenda is moving forward and in the process giving a strong green light to pursue singular ultra conservative Christian principals into society where it does not belong. Trump and project 2025 has turned DEI into anti-LGBTQ rage but the truth is that diversity does not mean trans rights or gender therapies and surgeries but society through the media has accepted this false flag and in the process the true meaning and purpose of DEI is being eliminated, and THAT is what project 2025 is about, the elimination of rights for minorities and non-Christian groups. Diversity is what makes society better and stronger and more accepting of everyone and that truth is being destroyed through the villainizing of the purpose by portraying the concept with only the outliers and extremes. There is a website that lists all of the books being banned, the list is 100% about DEI and race, many are a way to hide the truth about white power and agenda and critical thinking. WSC was right, Project 2025 is succeeding at destroying America at an alarming rate. Looking forward to the midterms, which will be followed by two years of impeachments |

Thanks anti-vaxxers for the latest measles outbreak! Excellent job on bringing this unnecessary and painful disease back to America.

Demented Prez hates facts, stats about his damage to economy - so he fires BLS chief
in Politics Just a friendly reminder that the federal government hasn’t posted any economic data since September in an effort to help cover up King Trump’s decision to take a wrecking ball to the American economy. Putin must be so proud! |

Just a friendly reminder that Trump’s best bud, Ghizzy Maxwell, was transferred to a low security country club prison courtesy of Donald J Trump. Looking forward to the Gym Jordan/Ghizzy Maxwell ticket in ‘28! |

Will the Diddler get pardoned by NYE? Or will his donation have to wait until 2026? Trump has already pardoned more than 1,500 convicted criminals to date, have a feeling that it’s only a matter of time until he pardons another diddler |

This is your friendly reminder that I was right, the pedo-protecting droolers were wrong, and Dementia J Trump’s tariffs hiked prices across the board just in time for Christmas! Source: Fox News, and DJT himself

Bannon and Epstein photos were released today. No wonder Trump is trying to protect the pedos - his crews are implicated! |

I think the Colts could be our outsider for this. They’re starting Daniel Jones, who is one hit away from retirement after his neck fusion. Then they have Richardson the backup, who has the worst accuracy and constantly gets injured. How do they win with a QB3 starting half the season? |
