The honeymoon is over Joe, now you have to answer to your communist base. This week the far left is holding Joe's feet to the fire on such wonderful issues as: 1. $15 minimum wage which will crush already struggling small businesses and cost a CBO estimated 1.4 Million jobs. 2. Government payments to Illegals...WTF! 3. Bernie openly bashing what your cohorts in Congress have proposed for stimulus eligibility.

Having served as the TF commander in Africa...I understand exactly what and who they are. There are other reasons they were not previously designated..even though many of us in the field asked for it. I have heard the cover story about getting aid and other help in but it doesn't not reality or the situation on the ground. Bottomline, these clowns are a proxy for Iran and as Trump elevated his fight against Iran we should have kept the pressure on. When it comes to Biden I have zero faith after he and his boss send an airplane load of American Pesos to the Iranian government. This was a big mistake.

Supposedly it was the drivers pants that were dropped not a cell phone. Multiple folks who were at Eglin when it happened said Amn Snuffy was getting a BJ from Amn Suffett when he became overly excited and lost control of the vehicle.

Do you know the story of this "incident?"

WIC debreif complete.

Anyone who wants to protect their gun rights might want to watch a very important case Caniglia v. Strom that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to hear. It is a bit complicated but in short a married couple had a dispute and the police asked the male homeowner to come outside and talk, he did so voluntarily. During the conversation the police determined he needed a mental evaluation so they took him into custody and in for a mental evaluation. While he was being taken to the hospital a police supervisor ordered other officers to enter his home and seize his weapons, without a warrant. He was assessed by a doctor and it was deemed he was not a threat so he was immediately released. The police refused to return his weapons for several months. Big implications for both the 2nd and 4th amendments.

Amen!

Exactly, the Chiacoms have had my SF86 for years...

Biden administration to remove terrorist designation for Yemen's Houthi militia Iran jumping for joy...I don't understand this decision especially when we have been supplying arms to Saudi (until Biden suspended sales to them.), to help them push back this group which has clear demonstrated ties to the Iranian and North Korean governments.

Given the governments record with transparency, especially the past 12 years, I would 100% disagree with you.

So give it to the government? We all know the government is famous for transparency...

Biden Wants to Shut Down Credit Bureaus Ah yes under the banner of Equity (not equality), let the government have control and run one more aspect of your life.

Ummm...copy, Sarcasm detector inop? That quote is often falsely attributed to Stalin and how he would fight America during the Cold War.

Yet...turns out anal swabs are more accurate for testing....just a matter of time.

Having worked on the hill and seen how the sausage is made, more often than not there is a lot of back room negotiating that takes place during a filibuster. i want that debate...I want it to be painful and slow to make large course corrections.

Raise it to 60...if that were the intent I would consider but the Dems want to eliminate any discussion and go to a simple majority, dangerous regardless of who is in power. Then stop accepting that power has been ceded to the executive branch...fight it, in the court if necessary. Regardless of how the SCOTUS lean politically they have been fairly brutal to many EOs (Obama's immigration EO in particular), but both sides have been reluctant to truly press the EO issue through the courts to the SCOTUS, instead the fight in the context of each EO.

Ungrateful peasants!

AOC is so woke she almost died during the riot at the Capitol and she wasn't even there! How do any of you who hate Trump for being a liar turn around and defend this lying twat?

So much disagree with this post... I wish more people would read the Federalist Papers and the reasoning and logic behind what the framers built in the Constitution. They had a longer view of government based on history and study of the great philosophers like Locke, Plato and Socrates. They understood the extremes and challenges as presented by Machiavelli. They were great thinkers and did not resolve every concept to a 30 second sound bite. One thing is certain, the framers in an attempt to build a "more perfect union" wanted their to be debate, discussion, consensus. They did not want rapid change or Crazy Ivan's that reacted to public opinion. Time as a function of legislation served to let tempers cool and logic persist. The filibuster serves that purpose along with many others. Going to a simply majority in the name of timely legislation is a gross misunderstanding of what our system is supposed to be. Again, SLOW change, build on logic and consensus. That was the intent of America.

And Robinhood has lifted all trading restrictions now that their "regulatory liquidity" issues have been resolved...or should we say not that the price of Gamestop stock has tumbled from $545 down to below $90 and all the small guys who challenged the short are getting crushed.

What is surprising to me is the inconsistent approaches are yielding the same outcomes. Obviously Florida has leaned into the stay open camp full force and honestly I am surprised at the results when compared to full lock down states. As I stated before I have a pending business trip to New Mexico that was put on hold because New Mexico is on full lock down (Schools all virtual, no dining in restaurants, 14 day mandatory quarantine for ALL of of state visitors). In fact, New Mexico has labeled a48 of 49 other states as high risk. Having had a nasty fight with COVID I am in favor of protective measures, masks, social distancing, washing hands and most importantly SCIENCE. That being said the "close everything" approach is NOT working and it is wrecking state and city economies while yielding the same outcome with COVID. When school started we had a long family debate about sending our son back or going virtual. Our son was 100% "I am going back." My wife was against it and I was down the middle. Virtual has a lot of limitations and I worried about the social interaction aspect. I work primarily from home and business trips have been minimal the past year so I could help him if needed, but I thought he would learn more and do better in person. Ultimately we decided to send hm in person. He has been sent home to quarantine twice do to "close contact with a positive case." One of those periods coincided with Hurricane Sally so he only missed two days of actual school. The second one aligned perfectly with a holiday and weekends and again he only missed a few days of actual school. When our family (including him), got COVID that did keep him out for about 10 days and I was worried how that would impact his grades. I spent a LOT of extra time reviewing right before he went back because he was walking into end of term exams. He ended up pulling five A's and one B's for the term. I went to pick up a pizza at our local joint two weeks ago and noticed EVERY seat in the place was full, including the bar. We started paying more attention and have gone out to eat two times in the last two weeks. We walked in with masks and people looked at us funny. NO ONE else in either restaurant had a mask on, I was shocked. So I've been watching the state and local numbers expecting a big spike and it simply has not manifest. I have continued to compare the New Mexico numbers against Florida and I am still bewildered by the result. Keep in mind Florida has 10 times as many residents as New Mexico so when you view these numbers you will note New Mexico is testing a higher percentage of people, but the infection rate in the aggregate is almost exactly the same. Florida - New daily cases: 6,979, Tests per 100,000: 515.4 New Mexico - New daily cases: 670 Tests per 100,000: 717.1 My amateurish analysis would not pass peer review but I think at the 69,000' level it shows total lockdowns are making an appreciable difference and we need a better more thought out approach that doesn't wreck the economy.

“We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it"

Not saying you are wrong, but there is other evidence to suggest you only need one shot. Also, your immunity timeline is off from what I have read. YMMV. Previously infected COVID-19 patients may only need 1 vaccine dose "Their antibodies started peaking at seven days, and they also achieved higher amounts of antibodies and neutralization of the virus in 14 days compared to those who have tested negative."
