Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state , has died from complications from COVID-19, his family said on Facebook.
General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from COVID-19, read a statement posted to his official Facebook page.
He was fully vaccinated. We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American.
Powell's leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st.

There's plenty room for lots more eternal loungers.
Get after it, Mr. Reaper, and speed the process if at all possible.
As one freeper said of bentmember and his sepsis, "May he not suffer long."

It is not at all as if blacks do not need encouragement to not get the jab. From what I have heard blacks are averaging less than 50% taking the jab.

More like people who actually have jobs. I'm sure Soros/Antifa/BLM are jab exempt.
