Fauci: Seasonal Mask-Wearing ‘Quite Possible
During an appearance on NBC News Meet the Press Sunday, U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci commented that seasonal mask-wearing is “quite possible. It is conceivable that in a year or two, that during certain seasonal periods with respiratory-borne diseases, people might elect to wear masks,” Fauci said.
Sorry, but I have lived over five decades without wearing a mask to protect myself from the flu (which I rarely get) and I have no plans to start now. Perhaps it's that I still believe in the American concept of freedom, but "following orders" from people who have proven to be wrong more than right is not something I find any comfort in what-so-ever.

The flu lie has destroyed your mind.
The Republican party is about to purge one of its leaders, the Wyoming representative Liz Cheney, for telling the truth.
It is natural to want to put all this unpleasantness behind us. We are finally turning the corner on the pandemic and the economy. Why look back to the trauma of the 2020 election?
But we cannot put it behind us. Trump’s big lie and all that it has provoked are still with us. If we forget what has occurred, the trauma will return, perhaps in even more terrifying form.
I don't wear a mask anymore because he's made our country safer than before.
Even here we are in yellow conditions.
Masking only in concerts and again closed public locations.
Your libertarian views lead to distrust of science, because wearing masks even if you have been immunized, in to close public situation, you might spread it to your family and again friends and even have a 5% chance of being infected again.

Dramatically ramping up COVID-19 vaccinations is key to ending the crisis in India, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC's "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos.
"The endgame of this all, George, is going to be to get people vaccinated," Fauci said Sunday.
"India is the largest vaccine-producing country in the world. They've got to get their resources," Fauci continued. "That's the reason why other countries need to chip in to be able to get either supplies for the Indians to make their own vaccines."

American Greatness said the election was stolen by CNN etc.
“The Big Lie,” of course, is its origins in the philosophy of Adolf Hitler. That gives the phrase, free and for nothing, an extra dollop of nastiness making it easier, for example, to describe supporters of Donald Trump as potential (or maybe actual) “domestic extremists,” “terrorists,” etc., because, after all, they support die große Lüge, recommended beforehand by Nazis, ergo what do you expect?
In my view, however, it is not CNN or MSNBC or even Liz Cheney who has demonstrated a true understanding of the nature of the Big Lie that is affecting our society. It is writers like Julie Kelly. Just a couple of days ago in American Greatness, Kelly hit the proverbial nail on the head (Jeeves would have said rem acu tetigit). “The ‘Big Lie,’” she wrote, “isn’t that the 2020 election was stolen; the ‘Big Lie’ is that it was fair and lawful.”
Seriously I think that the country is in danger.

Republicans socialism.
The day before Friday’s disappointing jobs report, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster followed Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte in calling on their respective states to end their participation in covid-related unemployment programs.
In both cases, the two Republicans cited worker shortages in their states to explain their decisions. Contrary to the way things may appear, the United States isn’t suffering a jobs shortage so much as it is suffering a shortage of people willing to work.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which comes out the first Friday of every month, apparently caught financial wizards by surprise with its unexpectedly low numbers. Employers created only about one-fourth of the 1 million jobs economists had been expecting. Reacting to the numbers, many commentators were careful not to say what was obvious to McMaster and Gianforte: Giving away money and other goods has a predictable and undesirable effect on human incentive.
Both governors plan to end their participation in the extra $300-a-week benefit that Congress and the Biden administration extended until Sept. 6.
In Montana, where combined state and federal unemployment benefits came out to around $600 weekly — and the minimum wage is $8.65 an hour — well, you do the math.
Now, Montana workers will receive one-time, state-funded bonuses of between $600 and $1,200 for returning to work and staying in the workforce for a month.
Though I hesitate to use the word socialism, larded as it is with potential for hysteria (on both sides of the political arena), Americans are being schooled in what socialism looks like, how it operates and how easily some people can be lulled into complacency. The gentle caress of the benevolent hand of Big Government slowly becomes the grip of dependence.
Higher Prices Leave Consumers Feeling the Pinch
Rising costs for everything from fresh fruit to freezers are shaping purchase decisions
Americans accustomed to years of low inflation are beginning to pay sharply higher prices for goods and services as the economy strains to rev back up and the pandemic wanes.
Price tags on consumer goods from processed meat to dishwashing products have risen by double-digit percentages from a year ago, according to NielsenIQ. Whirlpool Corp. freezers and dishwashers and Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. lawn and garden products are also getting costlier, the companies say. Some consumers are feeling stretched.
Kaitlyn Vinson, a program manager in Denver, said her recent $275 bill at a Costco Wholesale Corp. store, which included razors and cotton pads on top of her typical grocery list, was more expensive than usual. Ms. Vinson said she switched from buying fresh to frozen fruit and vegetables because they are less expensive and last longer.
“We’re sacrificing the food that I really like to cook just to be cheaper,” she said.

Trump's 'Big Lie' imperils Republicans who don't embrace it
Associated Press
May 9, 2021, 11:59 AM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Allegiance to a lie has become a test of loyalty to Donald Trump and a means of self-preservation for Republicans.
Trump's discredited allegations about a stolen election did nothing to save his presidency when courtrooms high and low, state governments and ultimately Congress — meeting in the chaos of an insurrection powered by his grievances — affirmed the legitimacy of his defeat and the honesty of the process that led to it.
Now those “Big Lie” allegations, no closer to true than before, are getting a second, howling wind.
Republicans are expected to believe the falsehoods, pretend they do or at bare minimum not let it be known that they don’t. State Republican leaders from Georgia to Arizona have been flamed by Trump or his followers for standing against the lies.
Only a select few Republicans in Washington are defying him, for they, too, know that doing so comes with a cost.
Liz Cheney, lifelong conservative and daughter of a vice president once loved by the Republican right while earning the nickname Darth Vader, was willing to pay it.
“History is watching,” the Wyoming congresswoman wrote as House Republicans prepared to strip her of her No. 3 leadership position this coming week over her confrontation with Trump. “Republicans need to stand for genuinely conservative principles, and steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality.”
Everyone enmeshed in Trump’s relentless election claims agrees a “Big Lie” is at the heart of the matter.
President Joe Biden says so. Cheney said so.
Dominion Voting Systems alleges in a massive lawsuit that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani “manufactured and disseminated the ’Big Lie.'”
Trump tried to appropriate the phrase by turning it against his accusers, a pattern from his presidency when he railed against “fake news” after having his own called out.
“The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!” he said in a statement last week, delivered as if by force of proclamation.
Trump led his party in an election that cost Republicans the presidency and their Senate majority while leaving them short of taking over in the House. For all that, the party's brute-force Trump faction is ascendant as Republicans place their bets on the energy and passions of his core supporters in the approach to the midterm elections next year.
That bet requires a suspension of disbelief when Trump makes his fantastical claims about a rigged election.
“This message is working," said former Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman, driven from Congress by a Trump-aligned opponent in the party's nomination race in his Virginia district last year. Riggleman pointed to strong local fund-raising success and poll numbers for Trump loyalists.
“If you’ve got to say things you don’t believe in, as long as that leads to a win, that’s what’s most important,” he told MSNBC. “If you think you can win by fanning these flames of disinformation, why wouldn’t you do that?” He added: “If you have no integrity."
In the running to replace Cheney in the House GOP leadership, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York in recent days endorsed Trump's false claims of voting fraud and of a ballot recount being conducted in Arizona's Maricopa County by a company whose leader has shared unfounded conspiracy theories about the election.
Artifice unfolded in Florida as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis staged a fake signing ceremony Thursday on Fox News for a bill he actually signed elsewhere. The bill imposes new voting restrictions to fix problems state officials acknowledged haven't really been found, but might be in the future.
America is suffering a shortage of people willing to work

Republicans are pushing voting curbs in multiple states as well as the federal level even as state leaders have pronounced Trump’s case baseless.
“They can't change the 2020 election but they can use it as a predicate for new restrictive voting laws,” election law scholar Richard Hasen of University of California, Irvine, said of the Trump loyalists.
“It’s extremely troubling for American democracy and undermines voter confidence in the integrity of the election process. Very dangerous.”
Trump has been busy resurfacing election claims he's aired countless times before. They've been systematically debunked.
In a statement Friday, Trump asserted: “At 6:31 in the morning on November 4th, a dump of 149,772 votes came in to the State of Michigan. Biden received 96% of those votes and the State miraculously went to him.”
No vote dump happened. The morning after November’s election, Trump allies shared a map of Michigan that appeared to show Biden getting a huge spike of votes in an update. But the online news organization that was tracking results and published that map confirmed the same day it had made a data error and corrected it.
Trump went on: "Likewise, at 3:42 in the morning, a dump of 143,379 votes came in to the state of Wisconsin, also miraculously, given to Biden. Where did these ‘votes’ come from?”
Nothing nefarious here, either. Biden's early-morning comeback was simply the result of absentee and early votes being counted in Wisconsin’s largest city and reported at once. Milwaukee counts absentee ballots in one centralized location and reports the results in a batch.
Election officials finished counting the city’s roughly 169,000 absentee ballots and uploaded the results about 3 a.m. after Election Day. Milwaukee police then escorted the city’s elections director to the county courthouse to deliver thumb drives with the data.
The outstanding ballots at that point overwhelmingly broke for Biden. A Democrat winning in a big city surprises no one.
In Utah a week ago, Sen. Mitt Romney was roundly booed by members of his party, while prevailing in a censure vote, for criticisms of Trump that hecklers called treasonous. Romney voted in both of Trump's impeachment trials to convict him; Cheney split her decision in the two House impeachments.
For four years Mike Pence epitomized the loyal vice president. But his pro forma certification of Biden's victory Jan. 6 put him on the outs with Trump and clouded his political future, though he had no authority under the Constitution, congressional rules, the law or custom to stand in Biden's way.
In one of his broadsides last week, Trump assailed Cheney, Pence and labeled Sen. Mitch McConnell “gutless and clueless” in one go. McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, voted for Trump's acquittal but pronounced him “practically and morally responsible” for provoking the Jan. 6 insurrection, drawing the ex-president's enduring enmity.
Since then, McConnell and Pence have turned the other cheek. Darth Vader's daughter didn't. But at the moment, the force seems to be with Trump.

Term limits for congress would probably help alleviate some of the issues with political loyalty, and perhaps help the nation get back to focusing on national loyalty.
THOMAS
What has our country come to if our supposed leaders are afraid to speak what they know to be the truth?
JOHN
Our country has come to a very sad place indeed, when a majority of one of the parties deny objective reality and plain truth.
BOXER
Liz Cheney is part of a very small percentage of Republican's and independent that don't want to deal with the lack of polish that Trump brings to Washington. He doesn't fit into the Washington click and wants to upset the status quo and make government responsive to Citizens not the power brokers that now control DC.
HYENA SWINE
In my lifetime I've never seen a party cling to an outgoing losing incumbent like this. The republicans need to find their way out of the twilight zone before it's too late. Whether they like it or not, Trump is history now.
DAVID
I don't know if Republicans can retake Congress without Trump in 2022, but with him they have no shot. Trump will alienate Independents, and moderate Republicans will simply stay home on election day.

On Thursday, some ethical Conservatives plan to announce a plan forward to revive Conservatism.
The path to successful Conservatism involves: Responsibility, Morality, and genuine Patriotism.

Liz Cheney is making a smart political bet that Trump's criminality will soon be exposed to a degree that will end his grip on her party.
The adept prosecution of his crimes is about the only thing that is going to protect the nation from the danger posed by Republicans forsaking democracy in favor of political power at any cost.
The Justice Department and various state Attorney Generals had better be making that same bet, and soon.
Biden officials are playing down the risk of inflation. Don’t believe them.
The fake news Washington Post
Opinion by Henry Olsen
May 07 at 12:37 PM PDT
Biden officials are dismissing suggestions that the United States will likely see a burst of inflation later this year. Don’t believe them.
The signs of looming inflation are all around us. Copper futures are now at a record high, joining many other industrial metals such as steel and aluminum that have also seen prices spike in recent months. These price hikes will soon drive up the cost of items that use these materials. Lumber prices are at record highs, too, a development that will push up home prices. House prices have already been skyrocketing, up by an annual 17.2 percent in March and likely to go up further as fewer people are putting their houses on the market. The historically volatile food and energy sectors are also on the price upswing, with oil prices already at or above their pre-pandemic levels and food prices likely to keep rising.
This might seem strange, since unemployment remains above 6 percent, with more than 8 million fewer jobs in the United States than there were before the pandemic. Inflation, however, is a monetary phenomenon, not an employment-based one. The fact is that the economy is awash in money thanks to the trillions of dollars in pandemic-related relief in the past year.
U.S. personal income hit a record high in March, fueled by the latest round of covid-19 relief checks. Income was up a whopping 21.1 percent, the largest increase on record. This has fueled higher levels of consumer spending, too, despite the continued controls on much of the service sector. U.S. consumers spent $15.4 trillion in March, more than $500 billion more than in February 2020, the last pre-pandemic month. Despite this record spending, the personal savings rate still hit 27.6 percent, a rate surpassed only by that of last April, when Americans received their first round of stimulus checks. They are spending more than ever and are still sitting on trillions of dollars in saved government relief checks.
If we actually pass the recovery plan, the wages will increase substantially to pay for the inflated prices.

"Nearly twice as many voters had a strongly unfavorable view of the former president as had a strongly favorable one.”
A Republican Insurrectionist has been indicted.
GOP lawmaker charged in Oregon Capitol protest has COVID. A predecessor of the January 6th Insurrection.
By ANDREW SELSKYMay 7, 2021
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Republican state lawmaker who authorities say let violent protesters into the Oregon Capitol in December says he is ill with COVID-19.
“I have a really bad case of COVID, and I’m kind of on the mend a little bit,” Rep. Mike Nearman said on a conservative radio talk show.
Another Republican lawmaker, who on the same day the Oregon Capitol was breached ripped off his mask on the Senate floor to protest coronavirus restrictions, says he has been absent from the Senate because his father tested positive for COVID-19.
Sen. Dallas Heard, who is also chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, told Senate leadership that he was exposed to the virus on April 25, that his father lives with him and that he must go into quarantine, the Salem Statesman Journal reported Friday.
Nearman faces a hearing Tuesday in Marion County Circuit Court on charges of official misconduct in the first degree and criminal trespass in the second degree for the Dec. 21 breach of the state Capitol by people protesting coronavirus restrictions. Both are misdemeanors, but they carry possible jail time.
He wouldn't listen to Doctor Fauci, instead he listened to Scott Johnson MD Powerline University neuroradiologist.

Fauci Urges More People to Get Vaccinated
Top Biden health adviser Anthony Fauci predicted that the country’s coronavirus situation will be dramatically different a year from now if larger proportions of the population are vaccinated.
Said Fauci:
“I believe that we will be about as close to back to normal as we can, and there’s some conditions to that… We’ve got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated. When that happens, the virus doesn’t really have any place to go.”

Modi Helped Create ‘Inexcusable’ Horror In India
Prestigious medical journal Lancet blamed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the “inexcusable” horror in the country’s second wave of the pandemic.
“Despite warnings about the risks of superspreader events, the government allowed religious festivals to go ahead, drawing millions of people from around the country, along with huge political rallies—conspicuous for their lack of COVID-19 mitigation measures. Modi’s actions in attempting to stifle criticism and open discussion during the crisis are inexcusable.”
WASHINGTON — Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., criticized those within the GOP who insist they need to double down on keeping former President Donald Trump as its leader despite his loss in 2020, saying that it's part of a “battle for the soul of the Republican Party."
As House Republicans appear ready to remove Rep. Cheney, R-Wyo., from its leadership ranks because of her criticism of Trump and his false claims that the election was stolen from him, Hogan told “Meet the Press” Sunday that the party is becoming a "circular firing squad."
“It bothers me you have to swear fealty to the dear leader or you get kicked out of the party. It just doesn’t make any sense,” Hogan said.
“It’s sort of a circular firing squad where we’re just attacking members of our own party instead of focusing on solving problems.”
Hogan, seen as a potential GOP presidential hopeful in political circles, has been one of the louder Trump critics within the party. His tone and views on Trump contrast with how most GOP officials describe the president — last week, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., argued that the Republican Party “can’t grow without” Trump, and Republican leaders have decamped to Trump’s residence in Florida in recent months in the hopes of portraying a unified front.
The firing squad will shoot him for being a traitor to the President who actually won the election day

Disneyland has joined the Deep Staters BOYCOTT
Walt Disney Co. has reportedly joined corporate America’s rush toward critical race theory, teaching staff that America is rooted in “systemic racism” and that white employees must show special deference to their black colleagues.
Disney training materials obtained by journalist Christopher Rufo include a program called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which features instruction on “microaggressions,” “white fragility” and “allyship.” It refers to America’s “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and calls for creating “equality of the outcome,” rather than equal treatment and equal opportunity.
White employees, who are asked to complete a “white privilege checklist,” are taught to squash any suggestion that accusations against them might be false. “Examine and work through feelings of guilt, shame and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to healed,” the training materials say.
Disney also instructs white employees to promote the skills and qualities of their black colleagues when those colleagues aren’t present “to provide visibility and sponsorship.” Staffers also are told to “learn what to say and what not to say” to their black co-workers. They’re also advised to automatically give “validation” if a colleague shares an experience. “Do not question or debate black colleagues’ lived experience,” the guide says, including any suggestion that a particular comment or action wasn’t race-based.
Phrases such as “all lives matter” and “I don’t see color” are condemned as “colorblind ideologies and rhetoric” that are “harmful and hurtful.” Employees are advised not to rely on black co-workers to educate them about race, which would be “emotionally taxing.”
Resources recommended for further study include the New York Times’ historically inaccurate “1619 Project,” the Black Lives Matter website, an article calling for police departments to be defunded, and materials for indoctrinating children in critical race theory.
Justice for all.
Our economy is structured the way that it is because of a series of political economic decisions made across its history—conscious rules made and unmade, opportunities extended to certain groups and kept from others, and injustices allowed to persist without recourse or redress given to the victims of those injustices.
What, then, are the policy solutions that can lead toward economic justice for Black workers?
In the short term, we must focus on relief and on protecting the front-line and essential workers who are keeping this economy running. Distributing the COVID-19 vaccines in an equitable way, prioritizing those with preexisting conditions that can lead to serious complications and those in occupations with a high exposure risk, will directly benefit Black workers. We should also ensure that employers provide access to personal protective equipment (PPE) on the job and take the necessary precautions to protect their workers. That may mean requiring all customers to wear masks upon entering places of business, providing free access to hand sanitizer for employees and customers, and issuing strict social-distancing guidelines. Our current patchwork set of norms and laws regarding mask-wearing puts workers at serious risk.The recently passed American Rescue Plan takes significant steps toward healing the damage caused by the pandemic recession, particularly in its extensions to unemployment insurance, expansion of the child tax credit, and the aid provided to state and local governments. While many of these fixes are unfortunately temporary, they should go some way toward improving conditions for workers, at least in the short term.In the medium-to-long term, we must focus on both healing from the damage of the crisis and shoring up our infrastructure to preempt the next once-in-a-lifetime event. Our goal should be an economy in which all workers are prepared and protected, not just the most fortunate among us. One policy that would disproportionately benefit Black workers in this regard is raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Black workers are more likely to work at or below the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, but also much more likely to receive a raise if the minimum wage rises to $15. A higher wage floor would improve the bargaining positions of all workers—particularly those in the South, where wage growth has been sluggish for decades.Any legislation that could make it easier for workers to form and maintain unions, to give workers a voice in their workplaces to bargain and protect themselves, will also help Black workers.
The leaders of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s recognized that labor rights were a key component of civil rights—to the extent that Black workers are being limited in their ability to organize in their workplaces, the promises of the civil rights era remain unfulfilled. Today Black workers are the most heavily unionized racial/ethnic group in the labor force. Where Black workers are given the opportunity and tools to unionize, they take advantage of those and strengthen the labor movement. It is not a coincidence that the regions of the country where policymakers and employers are most hostile to unionization efforts are also those where Black workers are most heavily concentrated—namely, the South.
The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which passed in the House in March, is one such example of legislation that would make it easier for workers who want union representation to organize. The PRO Act amends the National Labor Relations Act and makes it more difficult for employers hostile to unions to exploit shortcomings in the law to suppress and delay negotiating with their workers. It would create consequences for employers who interfere with workers’ right to organize and hold elections, and level the playing field between workers and employers in the campaigning process that leads to the establishment of a union.

Trump's 'Big Lie' imperils Republicans who don't embrace it
Jesus Christ. Where do they dig these people up from?
Liz Cheney isn't being removed from leadership because she didn't embrace anything. She is being removed because she couldn't shut the fuck up about it. 99% of the Republican Party is sick and tired of the constant drone of the real "big lie" (which is that the misdemeanor charges of glorified trespassing and picketing is akin to an insurrection).
All she had to do was "move on" from her personal hatred of Trump and worry about working with the Party moving forward to get things done. That is the definition of leadership for most of us. Only Democrats and Liz Cheney believes that leadership is about not letting go of hatred.
Liz Cheney voted for Trump's policies most of the time.
But she drew the line at telling an absolute lie for him, a lie that imperils our democratic system.
You do not draw that line. You lie.

Now read my posts at 1:00PM - 1:02PM which cannot be refuted.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki spent several minutes answering questions from conservative Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson, but eventually wound up cutting her off mid-question to move on.
Robinson fired a scattershot barrage of questions at Friday’s briefing that began with a claim of a “growing perception” that wilted when Psaki asked her “”Who’s saying that?”
Robinson pivoted to a claim that Vice President Kamala Harris is taking on an unprecedented role, but was unable to provide support fir the premise when challenged by Psaki.
That exchange went viral, but it didn’t end there. Robinson spent another two minutes quizzing Psaki on the Wuhan Lab Theory on the origins of the coronavirus, and related topics, until Psaki eventually shut her down:
Q Excellent. And then on the coronavirus: It’s a matter of public record that Dr. Fauci and the NIH funded gain-of-function experimentation, research at the Wuhan Lab of Virology. And given the questions about that lab, why would Dr. Fauci and the U.S. fund that kind of experiments, that kind of research at a Chinese lab?MS.
PSAKI: The — I’m sorry. I can’t hear you super well. What was the beginning part of your comment — of your thing — of your question?
Q I said that the NIH and Dr. Fauci had provided funding to the Wuhan Lab of Virology. That’s the lab in question when we talk about the lab-leak theory. And given that gain-of-function research is dicey, why would the U.S. fund that in China? Why would Dr. Fauci?MS.
PSAKI: I’m happy to send you to the NIH about more specifics of what program they funded and more details of that.
Q Now, I do have one more follow-up on that –MS. PSAKI: Okay.Q — because the President hasn’t really weighed in. Dr. Fauci is one of the voices who discredit the lab-leak theory, but now there is more officials in the Biden administration — like the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA Director, and now also the NIH Director — who say that this cannot be ruled out, and there is calls for more investigation into it.Who does the President agree with — Dr. Fauci or the other officials? Does he think this — it was a lab leak?MS.
PSAKI: Well, the President has said, and I’ve said from here many times, that there needs to be a credible, independent investigation through the World Health Organization, and tha- — one that relies on data, relies on participation from China and other countries that may have information. That’s certainly something everybody has called for, and we look forward to that happening.
Q Why hasn’t the President spoken with President Xi about the origins of the coronavirus yet? He said, just a few weeks ago, he hadn’t yet.MS.
PSAKI: I think we have given a readout of his call. And also that the President believes there should be an independent investigation led by health experts, and one where their data is provided — that’s provided transparently to our medical and science experts here in the United States. And we look forward to reviewing that.We’re going to have to go on. Go ahead. I’m sorry.
Q If that was a lab leak, will the President be committed to (inaudible) –MS.

Cooooooooo
The BIG LIE is that Biden lost a legitimate election which Trump won.
That is an even bigger lie than the claim that the actions at our capitol building were not seditious. They were a result of the BIG LIE, an attempt to put the BIG LIE into effect by overturning an entirely legitimate election.
Now read my posts at 1:00PM - 1:02PM which cannot be refuted.
If the Republicans don't dump Trump the BIG LIE into effect convince millions of Americans from believing in the peaceful transfer of power.
If The Big lie continues until 2024, the cultist like the proud Boys etc. Will once again invade the Capitol building and this time, with weapons and kill the Vice President Harris and shoot Nancy Pelosi in the head and, the Republicans will convene and declare the winner of the electoral college vote is Donald Trump.
Unless the military steps in our country we inherited from the Greatest Generation and turn the nation into a Fascistic government.
Scott said on January 6th that the seditious were just protesters expressing their first amendment rights.

Dr. Fauci and the U.S. funded that kind of experiments, that kind of research at a Chinese lab and released the covid-19 virus into the US and the rest of the world.
Especially if they win the house and Senate majorities. The Big Lie will be their motto

A violent breaking in to the Capitol building by people crying out for shooting Pelosi and hanging Pence and disrupting the legitimate election process is described by Ch/Scottie as nothing more than an act of "glorified trespassing and picketing" for which there should be no strong accountability or legal process.
Would our Founders consider such actions seditious and treasonous?
And unconstitutional?
Yes. Of course.

I don't recall either Nancy Pelosi or Mike Pence being in any ACTUAL danger. As I recall they were not even in the building.
More to the point, can you actually identify the very specific people who made threats against them and to what degree they carried through on those threats.
There was approximately 6-8 death threats made against Donald Trump every single day he was President according to secret service. I don't recall you getting all worked up over that? Or is your faux anger reserved specifically for idle threats made by conservatives?
I said the same thing, and the coldheartedtruth wants to censor me.
Stephen J. Taubert said he threatened to kill the former president and the congresswoman because he was upset about “people knocking” President Trump.

A man was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for making racist death threats to federal officials, including Representative Maxine Waters of California.Credit...Erin Schaff/The New York Times
By Michael Gold
May 1, 2019
[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.]
First, the Syracuse man repeatedly called a senator’s office in Washington and said he planned to kill former President Barack Obama, using a racial slur in his threat, the authorities said.
A year later, the same man, Stephen J. Taubert, called the California office of Representative Maxine Waters, a Democrat, and vowed to kill her and her staff members. Once again, he spouted violent rhetoric over the phone, using racist epithets.
On Tuesday, Mr. Taubert, 61, was sentenced to 46 months in prison for the phone calls.
His sentence was handed down in the Federal District Court in Syracuse. It came six weeks after a jury found Mr. Taubert guilty of threatening to kill a former United States president, transmitting a threat in interstate commerce and making a threat to influence, impede or retaliate against a federal official.
The jury also found that Mr. Taubert chose to make threats against Mr. Obama and Ms. Waters, two black Democratic Party leaders, because of their race, a distinction that allowed prosecutors to seek an enhanced sentence.
The President is not made aware of all threats against him, however, because as the Secret Service says, "the sheer number would be overwhelming and, frankly, distracting."
That's 43,830 death threats for his first four years alone.
From Secret Service Says The Number Of Threats Against The President Is Overwhelming:
President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day
May 3, 2007 at 9:03 PM EDT - Updated July 26 at 8:00 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Secret Service said Thursday that Democratic Sen. Barack Obama was being placed under its protection, the earliest ever for a presidential candidate.
So now even our Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit, is a junky.
Because it's a drug addict and black it should be castrated and used to make rocky mountain oysters.

You have a very selective memory,
"The Senate took an impromptu recess and Vice President Mike Pence was ushered out of the chamber as protesters wearing Trump paraphernalia stormed the Capitol.
"As senators debated the merits of overturning Arizona's electoral college vote, protesters in Trump gear pushed past security guards at the Capitol, prompting concerns about legislators' safety. Pence, who is presiding over the Electoral College certification proceedings, was taken out of the chamber and legislators are being asked to shelter in place. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was also rushed from the House floor."
CH: More to the point, can you actually identify the very specific people who made threats against them and to what degree they carried through on those threats.
JAMES: Not yet. That will become evident later from the investigations by the FBI, etc.
CH: There was approximately 6-8 death threats made against Donald Trump every single day he was President according to secret service. I don't recall you getting all worked up over that? Or is your faux anger reserved specifically for idle threats* made by conservatives?
You know as well as I do that all Presidents get death threats. Obama got so many that he was given Secret Service protection while he was still a candidate.

*Threats to shoot Nancy Pelosi and hang Mike Pence were "idle threats"?
One of America's two major political parties appears to have gone full fascist — elevating the likes of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has promoted a conspiracy theory involving Jewish-controlled space lasers, and Sen. Josh Hawley, who the New York Times reports is raking in the cash at unprecedented levels since he provided aid, comfort and support to the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol with the intention of murdering elected officials and destroying our democratic system of governance.
Cheney, who has an 80 percent rating from the Heritage Foundation, and on most issues is slightly to the right of Attila the Hun, is suddenly persona non grata, because of a range of anti-Trump offenses that includes the crime of fist-bumping with Joe Biden.
Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush, coined one of his boss's most famous phrases in an address against affirmative action: "the soft bigotry of low expectations." It is a rich irony that Bush now benefits from that exact form of "soft bigotry" as he is lavished with praise for not being a fascist or a nativist.
The Senate took an impromptu recess and Vice President Mike Pence was ushered out of the chamber as protesters wearing Trump paraphernalia stormed the Capitol.
So they were not in the building...
Which was what I just suggested and you of course agreed.
Not sure what your point was?
But those same Senators were in the Senate building when the Kavanaugh protesters stormed and occupied the Senate building.
Where they in danger on that day?
Or are only certain unarmed protesters a risk to people?
During an appearance on NBC News Meet the Press Sunday, U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci commented that seasonal mask-wearing is “quite possible.”
“It is conceivable that in a year or two, that during certain seasonal periods with respiratory-borne diseases, people might elect to wear masks,” Fauci said.
He noted that many people have become accustomed to wearing face-coverings. Fauci cited the case study of Australia and their history of mask use and efficacy, attributing their mild flu season to diligent mask-wearing.
“When you have the ability of a particular virus to go further than just a few feet, clearly one of the most important things is proper ventilation, and number two, mask-wearing,” Fauci said of ways to minimize aerosol transmission.

So as cold stated he wasn’t in the building.
You cannot think for yourself, it’s pitiful
Protesting an appointee for the Supreme Court is not the same as invading the Capitol building and threatening to hang Mike, unless your mind is getting worse every
Mike Pence was in his office after he was escorted off the floor of the house of representatives. There are many videos showing him being escorted out of the house after the invasion by white supremacist.
The violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 came perilously close to Vice President Pence, who was not evacuated from the Senate chamber for about 14 minutes after the Capitol Police reported an initial attempted breach of the complex — enough time for the marauders to rush inside the building and approach his location, according to law enforcement officials and video footage from that day.
Secret Service officers eventually spirited Pence to a room off the Senate floor with his wife and daughter after rioters began to pour into the Capitol, many loudly denouncing the vice president as a traitor as they marched through the first floor below the Senate chamber.
About one minute after Pence was hustled out of the chamber, a group charged up the stairs to a second-floor landing, chasing a Capitol Police officer who drew them away from the Senate.

An Idaho law prohibiting transgender individuals from changing the designation on their birth certificate and banning transgender students from high school or college sports is on hold pending a legal challenge, but Idaho has the distinction of being the first state in the nation to pass such a law. Numerous Republican dominated legislatures are now pursuing similar legislation, often using nearly identical language.
Finally, the Republicans moved on to trying to use the legislative process to prevent voters from taking power back from them in the future.
Both houses passed legislation to vastly restrict any future effort to place initiative measures on the ballot, even though the right of citizens to initiate legislation is written into the state constitution.
And at the same time, the legislature approved a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would allow lawmakers—rather than the governor—to call the legislature into special session. Voters will be asked to approve the change in 2022, but in the meantime the legislature is unlikely to formally adjourn this year. Under this scenario, and in an unprecedented break with past practice, legislative leaders will be able to return to Boise any time they wish to purse their agenda or continue to take issue with the actions of the governor—who, it bears repeating, is a member of their own party.
For his part, Governor Little has struggled to define himself and his own agenda amid the ultra-conservative criticism and he will almost certainly face a challenge from the farther right if he seeks a second term next year. That challenge might even come from his own number two.
Idaho’s lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, has spoken approvingly of various anti-government militia groups and appeared last fall in a video railing against COVID-19 restrictions. She recently announced her own effort to create an education task force to investigate ways “to protect our young people from the scourge of critical race theory, socialism, communism, and Marxism.” As if this is a thing happening in Idaho schools.
McGeachin is a textbook example of the type of political actor who frequently comes to power in an overwhelmingly one-party state. A darling of Idaho’s libertarian right, McGeachin won a five-way contested primary for lieutenant governor in 2018 with less than 29 percent of the vote. In very, very conservative state with only 1.8 million people, 51,000 Republican primary voters can empower a statewide elected official.
And in so doing, hand that official a powerful platform to define the direction of the party.
In many Idaho legislative districts the only races that matters are the contests for the Republican nomination. More than 40 percent of all Idaho legislative seats were uncontested in 2020 and some of the most outlandish ideas coming forward during the current Idaho session—penalties for local mask mandates and a “fetal heartbeat” bill, for example—have been advanced by candidates who got into office by merely winning the conservative primary sweepstakes.
The overall direction of conservatism in Idaho seems pretty well settled. It’s going to be dominated by conspiracy theories, science denial, profound disdain for public education at all levels, and a punitive social issue agenda.

Joe Biden would have given it a thumbs up if he was working this weekend and if he had any idea how twitter works.
You can actually buy an official Georgia presidential ballot on eBay. And, you can also buy a number of states. So when they tell you they were controlling the ballots, it’s just not true. This was a very open system. It was a system where people could cheat, and did. And without getting into an argument about how big the cheating was, it was large enough that every American should expect that they have the right to vote, that they have the right to have their vote counted, they have a right to have their vote held legally and accurately, and they shouldn’t have their vote canceled by someone who’s cheating. And that’s exactly what’s been going on… In every one of the states that was very close that Trump lost you had those kind of shenanigans and you had state law violated in every single one of those states. In my mind there was no question that those states were in fact stolen. That doesn’t make the national media happy but I think as a historian people will find it’s absolutely true.

NBC's Chuck Todd fails to ask Fauci about COVID origins amid questions about Wuhan lab
'Can someone in the American media please ask Fauci these basic questions?' pleads Rep. Mike Gallagher
"Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd failed to ask guest Dr. Anthony Fauci about the origins of the coronavirus on Sunday, which some viewers considered an oversight, particularly in light of reports that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Rep. Mike Gallagher. R-Wisc., was one of the first to notice Todd's missed opportunity.
"Dr. Fauci was just on 'Meet the Press' and Chuck Todd didn’t ask him a single question about the origin of the disease and whether U.S. taxpayer dollars went to gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology," he said on Twitter.

Assassination party’ hunted for Nancy Pelosi during Capitol riots
‘This was an attack on our country,’ said Congressman Jamie Raskin
The mob that rampaged through the Capitol on 6 January wanted to kill vice president Mike Pence and House speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Democratic Congressman, Jamie Raskin, as he elaborated on the level of the threat faced by lawmakers during the siege.
The rioters “came within a hair’s breadth of hanging vice president Pence,” Mr Raskin told CNN. “I mean, the words are still ringing in the ears of the members — ‘hang Mike Pence’."
“There was an assassination party hunting for Nancy Pelosi,” he said, as he emphasised on why the impeachment of outgoing president Donald Trump was not “at the level of a normal partisan push and pull."
“This was an attack on our country..."
The Democrat slammed the outgoing president for the armed insurrection on the Capitol building and said, “this was the most terrible crime, ever by a president of the United States against our country and I want everybody to feel the gravity and solemnity of those events.”
*** GUESS the POS "pastor" is going to hell ***
Secret Service spokesperson Justine Whelan responded to the report, and noted that the vice president was not in danger.
"While the Secret Service does not speak specifically about the means and methods of our protective operations, Vice President Pence was secure at all times on Jan. 6," Whelan said in an email.

Post by tim runs his mouth, cat turd, MZ hemingway and dumb ass thief!!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!
Here are the elements in Biden’s governing politics that clearly match the White House record of 1981:
Number one – Honor your partisan base.
There is an old rule in politics that the former Delaware senator has obeyed: “Dance with the one that brung ya.” Biden wouldn’t have won the 2020 Democratic nomination were it not for that smashing victory in the make-or-break South Carolina primary. Nor has he forgotten it and the role African American voters played in it. From the outset, his appointments and policies have reflected the needs of working people, especially women of color. He made Kamala Harris his vice presidential nominee. He’s vowed to fill his first Supreme Court vacancy with an African American judge, and the president doesn’t make a move on anything—Covid-19, his jobs plan, infrastructure—without a meaningful and substantial homage to equity. That’s not a 78-year-old just acting woke. It’s at Joe Biden’s core: remembering who brung you.
This is the mirror image of what Ronald Reagan did 40 years ago. At the top of his agenda was giving his conservative base a deep and profound statement of loyalty: that 25% across-the-board tax cut. It was the greatest broadside against the big government the Gipper could deliver. If he could starve Washington of its tax base, he could bring the whole colossus to its knees. Cutting programs is hard, as Reagan found out and as his first Office of Management and Budget Director David Stockman complained—and lost his job over the complaints. Unfunded tax cuts, on the other hand, were genius for the GOP leader.
Like Reagan, Biden has made clear that he is out to make his presidential mark with his party’s most reliable voters: progressives and Americans of color. He is spending massively and widely. As important as the checks going out to the middle, working class and poor is the message: Big Government is coming back strong.
This wasn’t something to expect from the veteran Biden. He was elected to the Senate in big Republican years; 1972, 1978, 1984, and 2002. He came from a state that never quite banned slavery. He came to the Senate at 30, in a chamber still dominated by Southern former segregationists and, as my colleague Matt Cooper pointed out, still had three World War I veterans. Biden grew up in that world as a moderate, now he is giving party progressives a program that reflects the policy and philosophy of the two contenders he defeated for the nomination: Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The appreciation for this shows up vividly in Biden’s job approval figures.
Rule Number two – Focus
Biden is now known for two major initiatives: pandemic relief and infrastructure. He has insisted on keeping the trains running on this central agenda. While saying positive things about other issues, he seems determined to not let such matters clog the tracks. This was a central feature of the Reagan agenda. While known over the years for a wide variety of right-wing policy ambitions, the 40th president centered the spotlight on the big fiscal changes he promised in the election: tax cuts and hikes in military spending.
I attribute this discipline to his Chief of Staff James A. Baker who “let Reagan be Reagan” only where it counted most politically. It seems that Ron Klain is doing much the same for President Biden. He’s keeping the focus on Biden’s big two legislative ambitions: Covid-19 relief and infrastructure. You do not see Biden tilting at windmills but only at the legislative agenda he needs for his presidency to move forward.
Rule Number three – Audacity
Like Reagan, Biden is swinging for the fences. While there may be sticker shock and inflation down the road, his legislative agenda has given his new presidency Punch! There’s no trimming his sails because the Democrats lost seats in the House or because his victory was less commanding than the pre-balloting polls indicated. No one denies that this president’s election – and Donald Trump’s defeat – matters.
Rule Number four – Speed
Andy Warhol famously predicted that Americans would one day all enjoy their “15 minutes” of fame. Presidents have learned the hard way they get just about that many months. That’s if they are lucky. Barack Obama managed to enact the Affordable Care Act in July of his second year, and then just barely. Due to the late 1981 recession, Ronald Reagan had seen his legislative dominance vanished by his first autumn in the White House.
It is still early in the game. But should Joe Biden make a positive mark in history it will be by doing it like Ronald Reagan did: Stick to your base; keep your focus, go big; go early. His commitment to Reagan’s governing politics is clear and it’s working.
As a former speechwriter, I’m also impressed by his rhetorical focus. It’s not that he’s a great orator. The point is he’s kept his speeches within his rhetorical abilities. And while he’s governed left, his tone has been totally middle of the road, inclusive. He hasn’t gotten drawn into culture war battles over Dr. Seuss. When he got asked about America being a racist country, he deftly said he didn’t think most people were racists but there was clearly a legacy of racism holding people back right now. He’s used the term systemic racism but in a way that calls on people’s better angels. It’s been hard to pull off but in a slow and grandfatherly way, he’s made it look easy, During the Chauvin trial, it would have been easy to make a misstep. He didn’t. Moderate tone. Left governance. Reagan governed right with a moderate tone. It worked then. It works now.

Fauci Backs Relaxing Indoor Mask Rules for Vaccinated
“Dr. Anthony Fauci said that he was open to relaxing indoor masking rules as more Americans are vaccinated against the virus, just two days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention belatedly emphasized the danger of airborne transmission.”

House Republicans target Fauci, Blinken in effort to investigate Wuhan coronavirus lab-leak theory
Biden administration has also indicated interest in leak hypothesis
House Republicans are stepping up efforts to investigate the "lab-leak" origin theory of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, demanding answers and documents from multiple high-ranking government officials regarding the possibility that the virus originally escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Multiple GOP leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken this week asking for the State Department to "release unclassified documents and declassify other documents" related to controversial department claims that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was involved in dangerous coronavirus research prior to the pandemic.
"The WIV has been a major focus for the U.S. government and the World Health Organization (WHO) in examining the origins of COVID-19 and the possibility of a laboratory leak," the representatives said in the letter, asking Blinken for a response by May 20.
Focus on the lab has been growing in recent weeks, driven in part by official dissatisfaction with the World Health Organization's probe into the origins of COVID-19. The WHO team concluded that the lab-leak theory was "extremely unlikely," but the Biden State Department has strongly implied that it is skeptical of that assessment.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, meanwhile, indicated that the U.S. intelligence community considered the lab-leak theory a viable hypothesis, with officials "continuing to work on this issue and collect information," as she claimed.
In another GOP letter this week, U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher asked White House coronavirus adviser Anthony Fauci for information on the U.S.'s past funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including what kind of research was supported.
Among the more controversial pieces of the Wuhan lab puzzle has been Fauci's proximate involvement in bankrolling it: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci has headed for decades, sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to the lab by way of the U.S. biomedical nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance.
That funding went directly to the lab's years-long coronavirus research, with scientists there attempting to determine the "spillover potential" of coronaviruses ostensibly in an effort to get ahead of the next pandemic. Some scientists and critics have claimed that those experiments constituted "gain-of-function" research, in which the pathogenicity of viruses are enhanced to study their potential infectiousness. The National Institutes of Health has denied those claims.
If the lab was indeed the source of the pandemic, then Fauci's roll in funding it for years could tarnish his professional reputation, as well as embarrass the Biden administration for having elevated and celebrated Fauci over the past several months.
Gallagher in his letter asked Fauci "how much U.S. government funding has gone to the WIV over time, and how much of that supported gain-of-function research," as well as what Fauci knows, if anything, about reports of sick researchers at the lab months before the pandemic officially began.
The letters from the House Republicans are likely just the opening sorties in what's shaping up as a lengthy and labor-intensive effort to determine the origins of SARS-Cov-2. The largest hurdle may ultimately be not U.S. federal officials but, rather, China's communist leaders, who are notoriously secretive and given to coverups.
The World Health Organization's origin mission was itself criticized for being too deferential to Chinese interests. The researchers themselves — among whom were EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak — reportedly only spent one day at the Wuhan lab.

HOW REPUBLICANS JOINED IN
THE MAKING OF A LIE
THE MAKING OF A MYTH
6:39 am EDT by Taegan Goddard linking to
THE WASHINGTON POST:
“Key elements of the baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump took shape in an airplane hangar here two years earlier, promoted by a Republican businessman who has sold everything from Tex-Mex food in London to a wellness technology that beams light into the human bloodstream…” the Washington Post reports.
“The enduring myth that the 2020 election was rigged was not one claim by one person. It was many claims stacked one atop the other, repeated by a phalanx of Trump allies. This is the previously unreported origin story of a core set of those claims, ideas that were advanced not by renowned experts or by insiders who had knowledge of flawed voting systems but by Ramsland and fellow conservative activists as they pushed a fledgling company, Allied Security Operations Group, into a quixotic attempt to find evidence of widespread fraud where none existed.”

POLITICO SAYS
Biden Seeks Infrastructure Deal with Republicans
JAMES SAYS
OR DOES HE?
“The Biden White House this week will make its most concerted push yet to find a middle ground with Republicans on the president’s massive infrastructure proposal. And as it does, the president’s position on a potential compromise has come into sharper focus,” Politico reports.
“Those officials say the White House is cognizant that any bipartisan proposal would likely involve only so-called ‘hard’ infrastructure, things like roads, bridges and tunnels. They are also drawing few red lines — at least openly — heading into the latest round of negotiations.”
TAEGAN GODDARD SAYS:
"It’s not clear if Biden really wants a bipartisan deal with Republicans or whether he wants it to look like he wants a deal."
JAMES SAYS:
Why not both?
Better put on your big boy pants, Repugs. You're dealing with a consummate politician who knows the terrain.
Wokeism Everywhere
The public is now increasingly bombarded by 360-degree, 24/7 wokeness in the fashion of the Maoist Red Guard gangs. There appears little refuge from it. Not in television commercials. Not from CEOs. Not from professional sports. Not from movies or television shows. Not from Wall Street, the internet, and social media. Not from the administrative state, and not from the military. Not from the K-12 teachers, much less the professors.
It is largely the well-off professionals, the “privileged” and the rich—CEOs, news anchors, actors, star athletes, college presidents, foundation heads, corporate board retired military brass, Wall Street grandees—who usually do the woke remonstrating (or fund it) to the supposedly non-privileged but guilty un-woke.
So how does half a nation of proverbial Winston Smiths react to this revolutionary panopticon? The targeted seek escapes. They craft a mental refuge from the progressive lynch mob outside the Western jail. And half the country is also doing that already.
Does the propaganda of NPR and PBS news and editorialization cancel out their good programming of art and culture, such as they are, that is not propagandistic? Sadly, yes. People will tune both out. They’ve had one too many sermons from one too many condescending, nasal-toned grandee.
Do they put up anymore with network news? No, half the country has no idea who is currently the NBC, ABC, or CBS evening news anchor. Do they care about the New York Times or Washington Post? Nope. For a large number of Americans, being an editor at those places is not prestigious but an embarrassment. Is the nerdy Silicon Valley billionaire their model of can-do entrepreneurism? No, again. To half the country, they appear either like Charles Manson or those peach-faced adolescents who are really 40 or 50.
Movies? Tens of millions have not gone to a theater in years. Many never will again. They find watching revived 1960s comic book heroes, dressed up as narcissistic social justice warriors, boring and pathetic—a “see Spot run” primer script, a Kindergarten experience, despite the pyrotechnics and surrealism of computer-created special effects that poorly hide the lack of ideas.
Sports? Ditto. The NBA is an ancient memory. The NFL Superbowl half-time show has become politicized soft-porn and easily tuned out. The last rampart of Major League Baseball is breached. Multimillionaires too, baseball players cannot put up with three minutes of reverence, despite their $5 million-a-year salaries (about $30,000-a-game per season), for the flag and National Anthem.
Ask anyone to distinguish a Grammy from a Tony from an Emmy from an Oscar, and you encounter, “Who gives a f–k?” about these strange runes.

The AP-NORC poll also shows an uptick in Americans' overall optimism about the state of the country. Fifty-four percent say the country is on the right track, higher than at any point in AP-NORC polls conducted since 2017; 44% think the nation is on the wrong track.
Those positive marks have fueled the Biden White House's confidence coming out of the president's first 100 days in office, a stretch in which he secured passage of a sweeping $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package and surged COVID-19 vaccines across the country. The U.S., which has suffered the most virus deaths of any nation, is now viewed enviably by much of the rest of the world for its speedy vaccination program and robust supplies of the shots.
“We are turning a corner," said Jeff Zients, the White House's COVID-19 response coordinator.
The improvements have also impacted Americans' concerns about the virus. The AP-NORC poll shows the public's worries about the pandemic are at their lowest level since February 2020, when the virus was first reaching the U.S.
When the former said that it's just the flu. Despite being informed by the CDC

Biden Restores Transgender Health Protections
===“The U.S. will protect gay and transgender people against sex discrimination in health care, reversing a Trump-era policy that sought to narrow the scope of legal rights in sensitive situations involving medical care.”

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR DEMOCRATS?
Joe Biden’s average approval rating is 54 percent. That’s not bad, though it lags behind the 100-day numbers of every post-World War II president except Donald Trump.
But our friend Michael Barone looks behind that number and sees worrying signs for Democrats.
For one thing, Biden’s 41.6 percent disapproval number is about equal to Trump’s. And Biden’s real numbers may be worse than what the poll average shows because, as The Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter suggests, polls seem to be under-sampling Republican voters.
Barone sees Biden’s appeal to white non-college voters as limited. He points to several congressional districts, including Rep. Cheri Bustos’ Illinois district. It voted 58 percent for Barack Obama in 2012, but 50-48 percent for Donald Trump last year. Bustos, who won by 52-48, is retiring.
What about the college-educated voters Trump turned off? Barone points to the May 1 special election in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Trump carried the district by only 51-47. On May 1, the district nominated two Republicans and GOP candidates won 62 percent of the vote.
Biden’s woke agenda may appeal to the mainstream media and the professoriate. However, it doesn’t seem to enchant upscale voters in Texas. Barone point out that voters in affluent Southlake, Texas split 70 percent to 30 percent in favor of ousting school board members who mandated critical race theory instruction, which the Biden Education Department wants to encourage.
And in hyper-liberal Austin, 57 percent of voters opted to reinstate a law banning camping in public spaces. “The desire to ‘keep Austin weird’ evidently doesn’t go so far as endorsing California-style tent cities under every overpass,” Barone concludes.
Barone acknowledges that Biden’s connection with treatment of the homeless may be tenuous. But that’s not the case when it comes to the border crisis (as even Biden is now describing it). Barone cites the reaction of Sen. Mark Kelly (D. Ariz.) to Biden’s April 29 speech on the subject. Said Kelly:
What I didn’t hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border.
And Laredo-based Rep. Henry Cuellar, also a Democrat, declared “we’re not paying attention to the border’s communities, and it’s not under control. I can tell you that.”
Barone points to two polls on immigration. A CNN poll shows 78 percent agreeing that the border is in “crisis.” An NBC poll shows 59 percent disapproval and only 35 percent approval of Biden’s performance on border security and immigration.

In order to "win" on infrastructure there needs to be some actual infrastructure in the bill. It's currently 5% infrastructure and 95% welfare.
Mark my words - this turns out just like 0linsky's "shovel-ready" LIE. The lie that skeets and his minions laughed about once it was revealed that there were no "shovel-ready" jobs. Hence the jobs "saved or created" lie that resulted.
Just grift for labor unions, both public and private sector.
Stairmaster Joe is following the same pattern. Just stack one lie on top of the other, and it's lies all the way down.

AMITY SHLAES ON BIDEN AS THE NEW FDR: It’s the same old bad deal for jobs.
Not until World War II did joblessness finally begin to subside, in good measure because of military mobilization — important, but not the same as peacetime employment.
As often discussed, errors in monetary policy contributed to the misfortune that was the 1930s. The cause of the duration of the Depression, though, was Washington’s persistent intervention. The chief economist at Chase, Benjamin Anderson, noted that after failing by playing God, the government chose not to retire but simply “to play God more vigorously.”
The first lesson of this sorry account is that an arbitrary national economic campaign from atop generates damaging uncertainty in the economy. However charmingly it reverberates, the very phrase “bold persistent experimentation” stifles growth.
The second point is that what helps the union hurts the worker. President Biden’s proposal to end “Right to Work,” if it becomes law, will dramatically stifle employment.
Flashback: FDR’s policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate.
https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/449176/
“The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes,” Cole said. “Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened.”
