By now everyone has heard that Democrats are putting into place a possible bill to add four Supreme Court Justices
The first thing to consider is that it is unlikely that the Democrats will have the votes necessary to pass this sort of legislation. They are down to a two vote margin of error in the House and a no vote margin of error in the Senate. Moreover, that would be assuming that they can somehow get around the filibuster in the Senate that is sure to take place. Democrats will only be allowed to go to the reconciliation bucket so many time before they wear out that welcome. Oh, and there is no chance that this can be considered purely a budgetary issue, so the use of reconciliation would be preposterous. So by all reasonable standards, before they do this, the filibuster would have to be eliminated. No real chance of that happening.
Secondly, the idea of court packing is wildly unpopular with the American public and just talking about it will probably motivate Republicans to come out in force in the 2022 midterms. Moreover, this would just lead to one-upmanship and eventually we would have a USSC that is larger than some of the Circuit courts. Even Democrats and liberals are speaking out against this. Harry Reid (who should know) is openly and publicly warning Democrats not to go there.
The reality is that there is nothing wrong with the Supreme Court. It does not need to be fixed. It's exactly the same as it has always been. Just that for the first time since anyone can remember there is a solid conservative majority. While there have been previous courts with a solid liberal majorities, the best the conservatives have had was a Kennedy or Robert "swing vote" that tilted in their favor more often than not.
But I think the main thing we need to consider here is the motivation for this move. Why are Democrats so desperate to pack the courts? The main issue here is the fact that they know that many of the policies on their wish list quite literally run afoul from the Constitution. While ultimately we know that the Democrats would love to simply dismantle the Constitution (especially those first two amendments - so pesky) they cannot realistically do that. There is no support to amend the Constitution. But if they could get back to having a majority of Justices willing to ignore the constitution in favor of political partisanship, it works basically the same. They already have a slew of District and circuit court Justices willing to dismantle free speech, a right to bear arms, equal protection, etc. All they need is for those crazy rulings to hold up under appeal, and they can get around that pesky Constitution all together.

It's a difficult decision to put yourself or a loved one in a nursing home, but unfortunately sometimes it's necessary. However, just because someone has to be in a nursing home doesn't mean he or she has to live in a depressing or abusive environment. If you or someone you love does need to become a resident of a bad nursing home, it's important for you to know that you have options. FindLaw's Nursing Home Abuse section provides information and assistance for people who have suffered harm due to abuse or neglect by nursing home employees or facility owners and operators. In this section, you can find articles on how to pick a nursing home, the legal rights of nursing home residents, and frequently asked questions regarding nursing home abuse.

The great obsession with the fate of liberal democracy, once ubiquitous under Trump, has somewhat disappeared from the discourse lately. With Donny from Queens side-lined, one major source of irrationality, authoritarianism and a completely post-modern understanding of reality has gone as well. There’s an understandable wave of relief that this deranged maniac is no longer roiling the waters of our tenuous civic peace. But this relief is also a form of denial, it seems to me. The unraveling of liberal democracy didn’t begin with Trump, even though he made it much worse, and it has become clearer than ever that it has not ended with him either.
In fact, I’d argue, that the months since Trump was removed have shown the tenacity of our underlying crisis of liberalism, as we resume our descent into zero-sum tribal conflict and competing fusillades of lies. On most measures designed to determine the robustness of a liberal order, the United States is now heading to a post-liberal state of affairs. The last election did not resolve the legitimation crisis. Apart from removing Trump, it resolved almost nothing.
Take the key question of whether one of our major political parties is prepared to accept the legitimacy of elections it loses. This is not a minor problem in a democracy. It is arguably the most critical foundation of all. And since the election, the GOP has deepened its attachment to the Big Lie of 2020, and doubled down on it. No serious figure with any hope for the future in the GOP — let alone a critical mass — has directly challenged the notion that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen.
And this is more than posturing, or sour grapes, as sometimes happens. We know this because the sole focus of the GOP since last November has been voter fraud. State after state has been tightening restrictions to trim the electorate. Not all of this is malign — as you can see in the Georgia case, which is more complex and less outrageous than the MSM/Democrats want you to believe. But it would be terribly naive not to see this as a clear attempt to minimize the clout of minority voters, whom the GOP (despite the trend of 2020) assumes will always vote Democrat. Meanwhile, the cult of Trump remains — and no one rivals him.

Biden's approval used to be almost 56 on average and he has had multiple polls in the 60's. I suspect that once Slow joe falls under 50%, he will be there to stay. Once he has to actually "do something" other than hide to "recover" from falling polling... I suspect that is when the fun will begin.
Can't help it if liberals were so upset with Trump that they hated him right off the bat. Most people give Presidents a short honeymoon period. But hate (as you well know) is a very very strong emotion.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — FBI agents last year interviewed the gunman who fatally shot eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, the bureau said Friday, as investigators searched the home of the 19-year-old former FedEx employee.
Coroners began the slow process of identifying the victims as family members spent hours agonizing over word of their loved ones. The slayings Thursday night marked the latest in a string of recent mass shootings to rock the U.S.
The shooter was identified as Brandon Scott Hole of Indianapolis, Deputy Police Chief Craig McCartt told a news conference. Investigators searched a home in Indianapolis associated with Hole and seized evidence, including desktop computers and other electronic media, McCartt said.
Paul Keenan, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis field office, said Friday that agents questioned Hole last year after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop.” He said the FBI was called after items were found in Hole’s bedroom but he did not elaborate on what they were. He said agents found no evidence of a crime and that they did not identify Hole as espousing a racially motivated ideology.

The FBI knew about him last year.
We don't know yet when of where he got a high capacity firearm.
The tax reform of 1986, meanwhile, wasn't designed to increase federal tax revenue. But that didn't mean that no one's taxes went up. Because the reform bill eliminated or reduced many tax breaks and shelters, high-income tax filers who previously paid little ended up with bigger tax bills.
"Some of these taxpayers were substantial contributors to the Republican Party and to the president's re-election campaign, and had direct access to the White House. Reagan rebuffed their pleas," wrote J. Roger Mentz, the Treasury assistant secretary for tax policy in 1986, in a Tax Notes commentary last year.
All told, the tax increases Reagan approved ended up canceling out much of the reduction in tax revenue that resulted from his 1981 legislation.
Annual federal tax receipts during his presidency averaged 18.2% of GDP, a smidge below the average under President Carter -- and a smidge above the 40-year average today.
How might Reagan fare today?
Reagan's behavior might not pass muster with those voters today who insist their Congressmen treat every proposed tax increase as poisonous to the republic.
"By today's standards, the Gipper would easily qualify for status as a back-stabbing, treacherous RINO [Republican in Name Only]," wrote Tax Analysts contributing editor Martin Sullivan, in an article for Tax Notes in May.
Thanks in part to the increases in defense spending during his administration, Reagan also didn't really reduce the size of government. Annual spending averaged 22.4% of GDP on his watch, which is above today's 40-year average of 20.7%, and above the 20.8% average under Carter.
Saint Ronald Reagan's era is over.
Sleepy Joe Biden is a transitional leader.
If he can get the infrastructure plan passed.
The tax increases are not popular among Republicans, but the Democrats are independents don't oppose them.

A significant majority of Americans - 59 percent - approve of President Biden's handling of his job as he approaches 100 days in office, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Friday.
The poll found Biden's job approval is up 5 percentage points from 54 percent in March, while 39 percent of those surveyed said they disapprove of his work thus far.
Biden's 59 percent approval rating is 20 percentage points higher than that of former President Trump's in a Pew poll from April 2017 and is similar to the approval ratings of former Presidents Obama and George W. Bush in April of their first terms.
Biden has been buoyed by support for his tone and rhetoric, as well as his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Pew poll found 72 percent of Americans believe the Biden administration has done an excellent or good job managing vaccine production and distribution.

The daily right-wing sideshow question of the day came from [insert name and org here], who asked whether or not President Biden would be removing Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, for saying that the program of America includes not forgetting that “White supremacy is weaved into our founding documents and principles.” The speech Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield gave was to the National Action Network where she shared her personal life experience with racism and spoke to the ills of discrimination and racism and the need for society as a whole to tackle these problems because it is society that creates racists.
The reporter, Emerald Robinson of Newsmax, gave out the conservative-sphere context-free opinion that this statement was a Chinese Communist Party talking point, and after blathering on in a way that can only be described as a touch overwrought, asked if Thomas-Greenfield’s statement of facts was a removable offense. I guess this is in opposition to the last administration appointments whose only job qualifications seemed to be being pathological liars with fraud charges, convictions, and or allegations against them?
Psaki did the thing one does when someone says something outrageous to you in the form of a question: asking that person to re-say what they said again and think about it. “Is POTUS going to remove an African American woman with decades of experience in the foreign service who's widely respected around the world from her position as ambassador to the UN? He's not. He is proud to have her in that position. She is qualified. She is exactly the right person in that role at this moment in time." Adding, “I have not seen her comments, I will say that there is no question that there has been a history of institutional racism in this country, and that doesn’t require the UN Ambassador to confirm.”
The angle the reporter was trying to parrot is the one the right-wing propaganda sphere has latched onto because they lack any and all policy ideas, and the last time they ran a government they blew out the deficit, gave away unpopular tax cuts to the rich, and we ended up living through a pandemic. To contextualize reporter Emerald Robinson’s 75 IQ, this is what she tweeted out about eight minutes before the White House briefing began: “We are witnessing the Democrat Party's merging of the federal administrative state (which it largely controls) with its crony capitalist corporations and its media allies together into a kind of proto-state apparatus.” Proto-state apparatus?
Now if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle a Republican Party.
Roger, the polling is invalid.

Sleepy Joe Biden has become a great American Patriot
WASHINGTON—In a reversal, President Biden said he would increase the cap on refugee admissions for the rest of this fiscal year by May 15, the White House said late Friday, after an executive order keeping it at a record low of 15,000 earlier in the day drew swift political backlash from progressives.

The announcement said Babbitt's family had been notified that the case is closed.
Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was a decorated security forces controller who served multiple Middle East tours from 2004 to 2016, according to Air Force records.
Babbitt was a loyal Fox News Channel watcher, according to thousands of tweets to Fox News hosts, and she engaged on social media with the conspiracy site Infowars. Last year, she began to tweet with accounts and hashtags associated with QAnon. The day before the rally, she tweeted: "Nothing will stop us....they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!"
Babbitt was one of five people, including a Capitol Police officer, to die as a result of the riot.
Pew Research Center is among the organizations examining its survey processes. The Center does not predict election results, nor does it apply the likely voter modeling needed to facilitate such predictions. Instead our focus is public opinion broadly defined, among nonvoters and voters alike and mostly on topics other than elections. Even so, presidential elections and how polls fare in covering them can be informative. As an analysis discussed, if recent election polling problems stem from flawed likely voter models, then non-election polls may be fine.
Simple question for Scottie/Ch:
After Republicans packed the Supreme Court by ignoring for many months Obama's very credible nomination, and then taking advantage of Ginsburg's death to rush through approval of Trump's nomination shortly before the American people got to speak as to who would be the new President, why shouldn't the Democrats pack the Court?

GOP Grapples with Extremist Episodes Among Its Own
Politico:
“The House GOP has so far confronted no large-scale blowback from Gosar’s speech to the America First Political Action Conference, or from other incidents that link a few of its members to far-right imagery or rhetoric.
“But some fear that if the conference — which just ushered in a historically diverse freshman class — doesn’t stomp out those political brush fires now, there’s a risk they will spread and engulf the party. Democrats are already trying to make QAnon, the far-reaching conspiracy theory labeled as a domestic terrorism threat by the FBI, the face of the GOP ahead of the midterms.”

GENEVA (Reuters) -The number of new COVID-19 cases per week has nearly doubled globally over the past two months, approaching the highest rate seen so far during the pandemic, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
"Cases and deaths are continuing to increase at worrying rates," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a briefing focused on Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the western Pacific region.
He said he was very worried about the potential for a much larger epidemic in PNG, and it was vital the country received more COVID-19 vaccines as soon as possible.
PNG has now reported more than 9,300 COVID-19 cases and 82 deaths. "While these numbers are still smaller than other countries, the increase is sharp and WHO is very concerned about the potential for a much larger epidemic," Tedros said.
PNG health minister Jelta Wong said there was on ongoing challenge in the country to get people wearing masks and disbelief about the disease itself, which would complicate efforts to role out vaccines.
WHO officials said three emergency medical teams had arrived in PNG this week from Australia, the United States and Germany.
"The situation is extremely challenging right now," Takeshi Kasai, WHO regional director for the western Pacific, said of PNG.
My, my. Did someone neglect to tell us that this increase is GLOBAL, not on the USA? And thus has nothing to do with Biden?
I feel sorry for those areas of the world that are not nearly as fortunate as we are.
Damn this is Funny as Fuck.
Michigan goes into 6 more weeks of lockdown.
Reversing any hope of opening up .
Cause?
Well, Gov. Witless has done it all by CDC-Biden guidelines, and it is only getting worse.
James is not even a useful idiot.
Mr. Broke-It Biden, this is not his fault.
"WASHINGTON (AP) - A top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official says surging vaccines to Michigan would not help the hard-hit state control the latest COVID-19 wave that has strained its hospitals and is raising concerns nationwide because vaccines take two to six weeks to confer protection"
I am loving it.
Someone is telling us the following is very, very bad news and should be blamed on Biden.
Nope!

Having COVID doesn’t guarantee immunity, study of Marine recruits finds
Karen Jowers
17 hours ago
Have you had COVID? Think you’re immune from it in the future? Think again, according to the results of a new study of Marine Corps recruits.
Ten percent of the recruits whose blood tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies before training were re-infected with COVID while in basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina.
The findings make a strong argument for healthy young Americans to get vaccinated, according to researchers.
“For our particular population, this is very strong data about why individuals previously infected, regardless of whether they had symptoms or not, should get the vaccine in accordance with DoD policy,” said Navy Cmdr. Andrew Letizia, deputy director of the infectious disease directorate at the Naval Medical Research Center. The doctor is one of the researchers and authors of the study, published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine Journal Thursday.
Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to fight infections; it’s uncertain whether young adults who get COVID are at risk of getting it again. NMRC conducted the study along with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to examine how effective antibodies are in preventing future COVID infections.
Recruits with these COVID-19 antibodies had about one-fifth the risk of getting COVID again, compared with those who didn’t have antibodies. While antibodies from previous COVID-19 infection do provide some protection to young adults, it’s no guarantee, the authors stated.
This is the largest study of COVID-19 looking over the long-term, where researchers have followed active-duty members before they got infected, Letizia said. They used data from blood samples and nasal swabs collected from the recruits when they arrived at Parris Island, and over six weeks of observation after they left their two weeks of restriction of movement.
The findings have implications for readiness, Letizia said. “Young, healthy Americans, regardless of whether they’ve been previously infected or not, should pursue getting a vaccine. That’s going to be the best thing they can do when it comes to long-term medical readiness for themselves and for their units.
“That’s the key crux of all of this when it comes to readiness.”
During the study, which was conducted between May and November, 10 percent of the 189 recruits who had COVID-19 antibodies were re-infected. And 48 percent — 1,079 — of the 2,247 Marine recruits in the study who had not been previously infected with COVID-19 got COVID while they were in basic training.
Those who got COVID “had universally good outcomes,” Letizia said, and the majority didn’t even know they were infected, or re-infected, until they were told about the test results.
“The Marines were certainly doing a fantastic job of observing these public health mitigation strategies,” Letizia said. But the high infection rate of 48 percent “shows us how incredibly infectious this virus can be in this particular setting,” he said. Contributing factors include the type of training that requires close contact and grappling and physical engagement, he said, and the immune system can become more run down. Researchers noted that COVID infections might have been introduced by permanent staff members who interacted with the recruits.
“It’s a very unique environment, but certainly shows the potential of how infectious SARS-CoV-2 can be,” Letizia said.
“This is not an aspect of our study that’s very generalizable to the civilian population at all, because basic training is a very different setting than our normal day-to-day lives,” Letizia said, noting that he suspects that there are lot of other young healthy Americans who have gotten infected and don’t know it.
Study of Marine recruits finds fever, symptom screening misses many coronavirus cases
A study of Marine recruits found that despite these measures and strict quarantines before they started training, the recruits spread the virus to others even though hardly any of them had symptoms.
Before they proceeded to basic training, every recruit in this portion of the study had three negative COVID tests, Letizia said. “We can very confidently say that any infections the recruits got during the six weeks of intense observation were in basic training, as opposed to ROM, and was due to a new infection and not a residual infection.”
Researchers looked at the level of antibodies, and how well the antibodies could neutralize the virus and protect the body. In the Marine recruits who had COVID antibodies but were re-infected, researchers found there were lower levels of those neutralizing antibodies, Letizia said.
Marine recruits were given the opportunity to volunteer for the study, which is part of ongoing research beginning in May 2020 with the Navy and Marine Corps working to make sure military training could safely continue during the pandemic. The next phase of the research is following up with the newly minted Marines at their current duty locations around the world, to look at the duration and effectiveness of the immune response, whether it’s from the natural immunity or by way of the vaccination. They’re also looking at long-term medical effects of those in this young, healthy population who have been infected by COVID-19, Letizia said.

Can't blame Biden, somebody!
James, you are fully vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?
Why?
"WASHINGTON (AP) - A top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official says surging vaccines to Michigan would not help the hard-hit state control the latest COVID-19 wave that has strained its hospitals and is raising concerns nationwide because vaccines take two to six weeks to confer protection"
__________
That's right. That's why the experts are telling Michigan officials and residents that wearing masks, social distancing, and some locking down will be more immediately effective than rushing in additional amounts of vaccine which will take longer to take effect.
Our Local Wal-Mart has removed all signs asking patrons to wear a mask. I never have worn one (exception , I do for the lady who cutscmy hair, it makes her feel better). I did see Sheeple wearing them.
😂That's why the experts are telling Michigan officials and residents that wearing masks, social distancing, and some locking down will be more immediately effective."🤣
😷 Jamie is in fear.
So do more the same and expect different results is Jamie's advice.
It is not fear. It is being caring. States that opened up too quickly or that have citizens who flaunt not wearing masks are having the greater problems.
I wear a mask to be a good example and because here in Illinois all grocery stores and most businesses and restaurants etc. require you to wear one to enter.
I performed a graveside funeral today for a man who died at 69 from cancer (nothing to do with Covid) and almost everyone was wearing masks.
Afterward, many of us went to a restaurant where masks were required, where the waiters and waitresses wore masks, though of course everyone removed them to eat.
These people are not sheep.
They are good, caring, decent neighbors.
To be clear.
Walk in masked up.
Sit and eat, unmasked.
Leave masked up.
No science at all involved absolutely zero.
On Monday, attorneys on both sides will seek to drive home their cases in closing arguments that cover much of the same ground, seeking to tie their evidence into neat packages for jurors.
Prosecutors will draw on expert testimony, videos and other evidence to explain how the white officer’s actions on May 25, when he pinned the Black man’s neck to the pavement with his knee for nearly 9 1/2 minutes, were “a substantial cause” of Floyd’s death. And they’ll highlight testimony from top Minneapolis police officials and outside use-of-force experts that an “objectively reasonable” officer would not have used that kind of force.
Meanwhile, defense attorney Eric Nelson will try to persuade jurors that elements of testimony he elicited from prosecution witnesses and his own witnesses add up to reasonable doubt over what caused Floyd’s death, whether Chauvin is responsible, or whether Floyd deserves a substantial amount of the blame.
“If I was Nelson, I’d do a lot of things, because a lot of things need to be done,” Joe Friedberg, a local defense attorney not involved in the case, said. “He’s in desperate trouble here.”
The Prosecution will have an African American lawyer give the closing arguments. That will have an effect on the jurors.
Spectacularly alky-level.wrong.
🐑🐑States that opened up too quickly or that have citizens who flaunt not wearing masks are having the greater problems.🐑🐑
Again, Michigan Socialist Gov. Witless has followed every CDC/Mr. Broke-It Biden order.
And yet they are dropping like flus.
Yep, good move Roger, bailout your butt-buddy James.
People who protect others are not Sheeples. They were responsible people like those who drive carefully so they don't endanger others lives just to follow the law!
Yep, good move Roger, bailout your butt-buddy James.

Pope Francis left the Vatican this morning to celebrate Mass in the nearby church of the Holy Spirit in Sassia in the center of Rome where a group of prisoners and inmates were also present at the celebration as well as some so-called ”refugees” from the Middle East.
So this was the ideal stage for a Communist/Globalist stunt by the Communist Pope.
During the Mass Pope Francis commented on Acts 4:32 that says: “All the believers were one in heart and mind.
No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”
In a statement that promotes Communism Bergoglio stated to a rather puzzled congregation that sharing ownership “is not communism, but it is pure Christianity.”
The Pope obviously stated this not for the love for the Gospels or Jesus Christ’s way of life, but in preparation of the infamous ”Great Reset” announced last year by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Klaus Schwab, who founded the WEF in 1971.
UPDATED APRIL 12, 2021
The United States reported an 8% rise in new cases of COVID-19 to 490,000 last week, the fourth week in a row that infections have increased, according to a Reuters analysis of state and county data." Reuters
ouch.
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/04/14/latest-on-covid19-in-mn
The scientists of the CDC said that people should wear masks in public places. But in fact that the states like Florida and Texas have a very warm climate, and the virus has little impact because of the strong sunlight in the warmer climate areas including California and Arizona.
Plus that Sleepy Joe is getting over two and a half million injections per day!
The maps show that effects. But states like the Dakotas have having high infection rates.
States That did everything right deaths per 100k.
Illinois: 189 🐑🐑🐑
Michigan: 178 🐑🐑❄
And those that did it all wrong
Florida: 159
Texas: 171
During the Mass Pope Francis commented on Acts 4:32 that says:
“All the believers were one in heart and mind.
No one claimed private ownership of any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”
A better, more literal translation of the Greek text of Acts 4:32:
"No one claimed that any of their possessions was his or hers alone, but everything they owned was held in common."
In other words,
although they were NOT
marxistic, atheistic
communists,
they WERE
loving Christian
common-ists.
The poor are with you always but you..."

States ranked by COVID-19 cases: April 14
North Dakota has the most confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population of all U.S. states,
while Hawaii has the fewest, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Mr. Broke-It Biden has yet to put his plan in place to "Stop it in its tracks".
Vaccinate as many people as possible as soon as possible.
I never said vaccinations do not work.
How Long Is Eight-Tenths of a Second?
The police killing of Adam Toledo in Chicago is unquestionably a tragedy. But was it unjustified? That's a lot harder to say. It all started when police heard gunfire and gave chase. One of the cops went after Toledo, who is shown here at the end of the pursuit as the officer is yelling at him to "drop it":
There appears to be a gun in his right hand. Now here's a still from the moment the police officer fires, eight-tenths of a second later:
Toledo's hands are empty. He has tossed his gun behind him, where the officer can't see it.
Is eight-tenths of a second, on a dark night with a shaky light, enough time for a trained police officer to realize that the gun he saw a moment earlier—which he didn't see being tossed away—is no longer there? I don't know.
I just don't know. But that's the question before us.

Not hard at all Roger.
The LEO did the right thing.
Guns are on their way out. And thank goodness! We can't wait to return to the utopian paradise we lost when guns were invented by Bob Gun back in 1804.
Still, once in a great while, you might need to defend yourself against a ne'er-do-well. When those ruffians come kicking your door down, you need to be ready. Here are seven great ways to defend your home against an armed burglar when your guns have all been confiscated:
1. Call your local social worker - Get on the phone and call up a state therapist to help you two work out your differences. They'll be there in 30 minutes or less!
2. Have your kids leave all their LEGOs out - A surefire defense strategy, though sometimes it backfires and you accidentally step on them yourself and PICK UP YOUR GOSH DARN TOYS, CALVIN!
3. Make sure to hang a gun-free zone sign in your window - It's a little-known fact that burglars must stop and not shoot you if you inform them your home is a gun-free zone.
4. Turn the thermostat up to 80 so it will be uncomfortably hot for burglars - After a few hours looting your stuff they will need to take a break and go outside to cool down and you can lock them out.
5. Bust out the Nerf guns - One of those crazy cool ones with the drum magazines your rich friends had growing up will surely intimidate the intruder.
6. Rig up a complex Rube Goldberg booby trap that incapacitates the criminals in hilarious ways - Hear us out on this one: they step on a panel that activates a wire that pulls down a bucket of water that goes down a funnel and pushes a bowling ball which swings down and hits them on the head causing permanent brain damage. Funny AND effective!
7. Ask them to hug it out - When all else fails just be the bigger man and ask the criminal to hug it out with you. Bring it in, man.

About 31 percent of adults in the United States have now been fully vaccinated. Scientists have estimated that 70 to 90 percent of the total population must acquire resistance to the virus to reach herd immunity. But in hundreds of counties around the country, vaccination rates are low, with some even languishing in the teens.
The disparity in vaccination rates has so far mainly broken down along political lines. The New York Times examined survey and vaccine administration data for nearly every U.S. county and found that both willingness to receive a vaccine and actual vaccination rates to date were lower, on average, in counties where a majority of residents voted to re-elect former President Donald J. Trump in 2020. The phenomenon has left some places with a shortage of supply and others with a glut.
These skanky cunts really need a good fucking!!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with the GOP allowing these assholes to represent them??????

In a Thursday night vote, the House overwhelmingly passed a reauthorization of the National Marrow Donor Program, which matches bone marrow donors and cord blood units with patients who need transplants. Overwhelmingly, that is, except for Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), reports CNN.

GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar formed the "America First Caucus," Punchbowl News reported.
The group will reportedly emphasize "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."
It will also push racist lies about immigration and foreign aid and parrot Trump's conspiracy theories about the election.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is facing a federal sex-trafficking investigation, said he'll join the caucus.
Sign up for our daily newsletter 10 Things in Politics You Need to Know Today.
Two Republican lawmakers worked together to create an "America First Caucus" that emphasizes "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions" and infrastructure that "befits the progeny of European architecture," Punchbowl News reported on Friday.
Dopey conveniently leaves out a few things from the NY Times vaccine hesitancy article.
There are Trump counties above the national average, like Tama county IA. And there are Biden counties below the national average, like Hudson county NJ.
The article also rightly points out population density as a influencing factor. If cowboy bob lives in rural WY where his closest neighbor lives a half mile away, that will affect his rushing down for a vaccine or not and will not be based on politics.
Of course, dopey ignored that part of the article. We don't call him dopey for nothing.

We must stop the anti-replacemet movement.
Restoring “the soul of the nation” cannot mean simply unseating Trump. It also has to mean reversing the policies his administration put in place in an attempt to codify into law his racial and sectarian conception of American citizenship. If Biden cannot do that, then he has restored little more than Democratic control of the presidency. And should he fail to rescind these policies simply because he fears criticism of those who enabled Trump’s cruelty to begin with, it will be nothing short of cowardice.
“My faith teaches me that we should be a nation that once again welcomes the stranger and shows a preferential option for the poor, remembering how so many of us and our ancestors came here in a similar way,” Biden wrote in 2019. “It’s not enough to just wish the world were better. It’s our duty to make it so.”

The rate of full vaccination for older adults in Republican-leaning counties was 5 percent lower than the national average.

The thief continues his gibberish and non sense defending his twitter BULLSHIT!!!!!!! Sad that he is sooooo dependent on others thoughts for his own!!!!!
On the Ted Lieu and The Washington Post tweets I would agree with you. They are bullshit which was the point I was making.
So we have some common ground and agree.
But no one can lose to a loser like you.
No matter how loud or often you desperately bleat.

Fauci just admitted to me—under oath—that the Biden administration is not following their own COVID guidance at the border that they are imposing on every other American.
Hell the Biden administration doesn't even realize that there is a crisis at the border.
Cum allah still hasn't visited or done a press conference on it as the point person.
for that matter Biden hasn't even done a real press conference since he took office.
But he did announce he is going to do a State of the Union address. Likely to an almost empty chamber who will be on break. Probably so they can roll in a teleprompter and it won't be noticed.

Throughout the federal government, the consensus is that the greatest threat to the U.S. originates on the right. Former acting secretary of Homeland Security Chad F. Wolf stated, "I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years." Former secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy told the Associated Press, "We're continually going through the process, and taking second, third looks at every one of the individuals assigned to this operation." The military has depended upon slides from the New York Police Department Intelligence Bureau that listed about two dozen symbols, ideologies, and memes considered "associated with or appropriated by domestic violent extremism." The list mentioned right-wing items exclusively.
There was no mention of Antifa.
The right wing media is obsessed with Antifa and Black Lives Matter because they are not white enough.
The Least Vaccinated Counties Have Something in Common -- TRUMP!
New York Times:
LINK at politicalwire.com:
“The disparity in vaccination rates has so far mainly broken down along political lines. The New York Times examined survey and vaccine administration data for nearly every U.S. county and found that both willingness to receive a vaccine and actual vaccination rates to date were lower, on average, in counties where a majority of residents voted to re-elect former President Donald J. Trump in 2020. The phenomenon has left some places with a shortage of supply and others with a glut.”

Gosh! Donald told them what a great job he did making those vaccines available. Don't they believe or trust him?

Cash Floods Into Battle for Control of Congress

[linked at politicalwire.com]:
“The four swing-state Senate Democrats likeliest to face the toughest reelection fights — Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada — each raised more than $2 million, posting higher totals than any incumbent senator two years ago. All four had over $4 million in the bank, a total only two senators had at this point in 2019.
“Meanwhile, House Democrats quickly assuaged any fears that they would struggle to keep up fundraising with their main antagonist, Donald Trump, out of office. Over two dozen of the 45 House Democrats that Republicans plan to target in 2022 raised over $500,000. Four of them, including California Reps. Katie Porter and Josh Harder, raised over $1 million — an impressive amount for the first quarter of an off-year.”

Deaths and property damage during the summer of 2020 caused considerably more damage than the insurrection on 6 January. Yet the targets of the government efforts are almost exclusively on the right. In some corners, Black Lives Matter and Antifa are not considered extremist organizations. Because they are not white enough for the right wing media troll squad.
The attack on the Capitol building is the worst terrorist attack since 9/11 or even worse. It would have overturned a free and secure election.
But the people's voices were heard.
Oh good. James again shows up pasting an article we're already discussing.

It's official ... Hunter Biden has smoked more crack rocks than books sold.
Despite a full blown add campaign by the FAKE NEWS networks Hunter's book sales failed to reach even a paltry 11,000 books.
Oh well the administration who was going to make sure no one profited from Joe made millions in advance fees.
And he got to tell the world his laptop was a red herring without any push back.
Still an awful low total for the highly promoted son of a president who got 81 million "votes". Guess Biden voters don't read.
Or are Chinese.
U.S. has new intel that Manafort friend Kilimnik gave Trump campaign data to Russia
Paul Manafort was chair of the Trump campaign for part of 2016. Kilimnik had worked for him in Ukraine. U.S. officials say Kilimnik is a Russian spy.
April 16, 2021, 6:38 PM CDT
The U.S. intelligence community has developed new information about Konstantin Kilimnik, whom they call a Russian spy, that leads them to believe the associate of ex-Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort passed internal Trump campaign polling and strategy information to Russian intelligence services, two U.S. officials say.
On Thursday the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Kilimnik and for the first time said he passed along the data to Russian intelligence services.
That new detail, part of a factsheet released by Treasury, was not included in the 2019 report by special counsel Robert Mueller, who was tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The team said in its report that Kilimnik was believed to “have ties to Russian intelligence,” and that Kilimnik had received the Trump campaign information from Manafort, but did not say what he did with it after receiving it.
A bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2020 said coordination between the Trump campaign and a Russian operation to hack and leak Democratic emails may have existed through Kilimnik but could not be established with certainty. The report drew no conclusions about what the Russians ultimately did with the data.
The officials did not disclose when or how the U.S. came into possession of the new intelligence about Kilimnik, including whether or not the information was developed during the Trump or Biden administrations. The officials did not identify the source or type of intelligence that had been developed.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Treasury declined to comment.
In 2019, Mueller’s team authored a report that detailed the connection between Kilimnik and his former employer in Ukraine, Paul Manafort. Manafort was the Trump campaign chairman from the spring of 2016 until August 2016, when multiple press reports about his work in Ukraine and money he received there led to him stepping down. Manafort was working for the Trump campaign without pay.
Manafort was indicted by Mueller’s team and pleaded guilty in federal court to obstruction of justice and conspiracy. A judge found he had broken his plea agreement by lying to investigators on several issues, including his contacts with Kilimnik. He was convicted of additional charges in a separate case. He later received a presidential pardon from Trump.
According to Mueller, Manafort met with Kilimnik in New York on Aug. 2, 2016 and “months before that meeting, Manafort had caused internal polling data to be shared with Kilimnik, and the sharing continued for some period of time after their August meeting.”

Inflation Fears Push Markets To Fresh Highs

Looks like the Biden administration is becoming the Carter administration on steroids.
Gas prices soaring
Food prices soaring.
Affordable housing non-existent
unhoused, unemployed, untested Covid illegal immigrants flooding in
spending like it's Argentina
And for a cherry on top sending the failed Iran negotiator, who delivered pallets of cash to Iran, to China to "negotiate" and be tough.
Well at least with his rhetoric. Expect China will get the store and Kerry will announce a "climate agreement" with the worlds biggest polluter.
And all foreign adversaries will get stronger.
Well Kerry will receive awards and acclaim and private jet off to his "well earned" vacation.
Just a prediction...
What is dark money?
Dark money is election-related spending where the source is secret. Citizens United contributed to a major jump in this type of spending, which often comes from nonprofits that are not required to disclose their donors.
In its decision, the Supreme Court reasoned that unlimited spending by wealthy donors and corporations would not distort the political process, because the public would be able to see who was paying for ads and “give proper weight to different speakers and messages.” But in reality, the voters often cannot know who is actually behind campaign spending.
That’s because leading up to Citizens United, transparency in U.S. elections had started to erode, thanks to a disclosure loophole opened by the Supreme Court’s 2007 ruling in FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, along with inaction by the IRS and controversial rulemaking by the FEC.
Citizens United allowed big political spenders to exploit the growing lack of transparency in political spending. This has contributed to a surge in secret spending from outside groups in federal elections. Dark money expenditures increased from less than $5 million in 2006 to more than $300 million in the 2012 election cycle and more than $174 million in the 2014 midterms. In the top 10 most competitive 2014 Senate races, more than 71 percent of the outside spending on the winning candidates was dark money. These numbers actually underestimate the impact of dark money on recent elections, because they do not include super PAC spending that may have originated with dark money sources, or spending that happens outside the “electioneering communications window” 30 days before a primary or 60 days before a general election.
Finally, because they can hide the identities of their donors, dark money groups also provide a way for foreign countries to hide their activity from U.S. voters and law enforcement agencies. This increases the vulnerability of U.S. elections to international interference.
Trolls like the thief used fake information from Russian sources to spread fear of our institutions like the DOJ and FBI.

NEW: HANSJÖRG WYSS, whose bid for @TRIBpub has earned him praise as a savior of nonpartisan journalism, quietly created a sophisticated but opaque operation, THE HUB PROJECT, in 2015 that spends millions attacking Republicans & boosting Democratic causes.
THE HUB PROJECT was to be "solely funded by THE WYSS FOUNDATION at the outset," per a business plan.
The Hub is now housed inside two nonprofit groups, SIXTEEN THIRTY FUND & NEW VENTURE FUND, which have received at least $67M from Wyss-linked foundations.
The Hub Project & its parent funds are key cogs in a massive “dark money” network that evokes the one built by the KOCH BROTHERS, which Democrats condemned as a threat to democracy.
But Dems have mostly been silent or laudatory of the spending by HANSJÖRG WYSS & The Hub Project.
Likewise Democrats & some journalists condemned the potential purchase of TRIBUNE PUBLISHING by the KOCH BROS in 2013: https://nytimes.com/2013/05/09/us/a-bid-to-thwart-los-angeles-times-sale-to-kochs.html
But the bid for @TRIBpub by 2 liberal mega-donors, HANSJÖRG WYSS, & STEWART BAINUM, hasn't generated backlash. https://nytimes.com/2021/04/13/business/media/wyss-tribune-company-buyer.html

Ever wonder who paid for all those dark money ads attacking Susan Collins last cycle?
It was this Swiss billionaire who sent nearly $70 million to the sixteen thirty fund, who by far spent the most dark money of any dem group in 2020.
#mepolitics
So the activist who attacked Collins with $70 million and lost now wants to buy a newspaper conglomerate.
Same thing that Bezos did when he destroyed the Washington Post.
