Maher get's it exactly right. And what he reveals, perhaps without realizing it, is that the sole redeeming feature of critical race theory is the $$$$$ it generates for those peddling the nonsense.
Modern progressivism is about as REgressive as it get's.

"And we can't do that by suppressing minorities who want to vote."
The pederast and the alky revel in their bigotry that minorities are simply too stupid to secure a voter ID, and they are completely comfortable with simultaneously disenfranchising the votes of those minorities by allowing a tsunami of voter fraud into our electoral system.
All done simply to secure permanent one-party democrat rule.
LEESBURG, VA—As part of a new diversity and inclusion initiative, the Loudoun County school board has directed teachers to hang up inspirational "You Can't Do It! (due to white supremacy and systemic oppression)" posters throughout all schools to remind students of color that they will likely not succeed in life unless white liberals dismantle the systems of oppression designed to keep black people from succeeding.
"Don't worry -- we don't teach CRT here at our schools anymore!" said teacher Sandy Stout. "We simply teach that racism is baked into a system of capitalist whiteness that is designed to make it impossible for students of color to get ahead in life. We need our black students to know that America wasn't made for them and that they will likely fail at everything unless we white people successfully dismantle Western Civilization completely."
"It's a true message of hope for everyone!"
Other inspirational wall hangings being considered are:
Take time to reflect on your disadvantage! Blame an oppressor today! You are powerless. 2+2=OPPRESSION Just say "NO" to microaggressions Don't worry-- white liberals will take care of you! The school board reemphasized that they are not teaching Critical Race Theory but rather an honest look at the effects of racism on society throughout history.
"If you oppose this, you are a literal white supremacist," said Stout.
Biden emphasizes U.S. leadership in conflicts with autocrats
“I know this gonna sound somewhat prosaic, but I think we’re in a contest," he said at the end of the G-7 summit.

President Joe Biden highlighted the camaraderie of the G-7 summit on Sunday, telling reporters that the enthusiasm about the U.S.’ full engagement and return to the table was palpable.
But with America’s supposed return as the leader of world democracy comes the weight of having to address conflict with non-democratic countries like Russia and China.
“I know this is gonna sound somewhat prosaic, but I think we’re in a contest ... with autocrats, autocratic governments around the world, as to whether or not democracies can compete with them in a rapidly changing 21st century,” Biden said during a press conference in England.
“And I think how we act, whether we pull together as democracies, is going to determine whether our grandkids look back 15 years from now and say, ‘Did they step up? Are democracies as relevant and as powerful as they had been?”
Discussing the G-7 end-of-summit communique, Biden repeatedly said Sunday that his goal isn’t conflict with adversaries, but to find points of compromise. But, he said, where leaders fail to act with behavior that is “consistent with international norms,” the U.S. will respond and hold the countries accountable when it comes to threats such as the ongoing cyberattacks plaguing U.S. infrastructure.
Biden will start with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, where he’s set to meet with the Russian president in Geneva, Switzerland. The summit will take place at the end of Biden’s broader visit to Europe, where he’s meeting with America’s allies in NATO and the European Union, giving the president a chance to listen to the concerns of other leaders ahead of the meeting with Putin.
Putin, in an interview Friday, said Russia’s relationship with the United States has “deteriorated to its lowest point” in recent years.
“Let me be clear that he’s right in it’s a low point, and it depends on how he responds to acting consistent international norms,” Biden said Sunday. “In many cases, he has not.”
Biden was candid about America's inability to change Putin’s behavior through measures such as sanctions. But with other problems facing Russia, Biden said there will be room for finding common ground.
“Let me say it this way, Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms, but they have also have also bitten off some real problems they’re going to have trouble chewing on,” citing Russia’s attempt at rebuilding Syria as one example where the U.S. may be able to find a way to negotiate with Putin.
Biden was also pressed on whether the G-7 communique had enough concrete action to address China, and whether he was satisfied with the statement. Biden said he was, noting that China wasn’t mentioned the last time the G-7 leaders convened. He also highlighted the group’s decision in Sunday’s release to explicitly condemn human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
“And so what I think you’re going to see is straightforward dealing with China,” Biden said.
The president said in order to ease tensions, China must act with transparency, pointing to the country's lack of cooperation in determining the pandemic’s origin, as one example.
“It's important to know the answer to that because we have to have access — we have to build a system whereby we can know what, when we see another [country’s] lack of transparency."
What Happens if the Election Audits Go Trump's Way?
By Andrew W. Coy
What will the military, the Supreme Court, and the people eventually do? How will the military, the Supreme Court, and the masses react to the outcome? How will the military move, how will the Supreme Court rule, and eventually do the masses rise up and take to the streets...if it becomes clear that the presidential election of 2020 was compromised, was stolen, or at the very least had way too many abnormalities and illegalities and thus the wrong person is possibly sitting in the White House? What happens if it becomes clear that President Trump was re-elected and the Progressives actually stole the election? What happens if we find out that the election was manipulated? What happens if?
We might find out these answers in the coming months. Maybe. What about the forensic audits of the popular votes in the contested key states?
Before the actual election in November, President Trump predicted cheating as you've never seen before. President Trump said there would be voter fraud like never before in U.S. history. Many people throughout the White House believed and were certain that something felonious was about to happen. At 10:30 on Election Night, President Trump was up by good margins in the key states. Then the key states shut down the election tabulations of votes "for the night." (By the way, the stopping of counting votes for the night had never happened before in presidential history.) And then when we woke up in the morning, after the tallying of votes was supposedly shut down "for the night," Joe Biden had pulled ahead, stayed ahead, and assumed the White House. As of this writing, Biden has 306 Electoral College votes, and President Trump has 232 votes. Two hundred seventy votes is the magic number to win the presidency.
But what about the forensic audits in the key contested states? Starting with Arizona, then Georgia, then Pennsylvania, then...
PROGRESS! Majority Trusts Biden to Deal with Foreign Leaders
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds 52% of Americans have confidence President Biden will represent the U.S. well when making deals with leaders of other countries around the world.
Trump’s Shadow Still Looms Over G-7 Summit
Washington Post: “Trump’s shadow has loomed large over Biden’s first trip abroad as president — an eight-day swing through Cornwall, England; Brussels; and Geneva, where Biden is being welcomed as much for who he is not as for who he is…
“Biden, by contrast, was greeted with delight by leaders at the Group of Seven gathering of the world’s wealthy market democracies, who are relieved that Trump’s tantrums will be replaced by Biden’s backslapping…
“Leaders have dark memories of past NATO summits, when Trump threatened to pull the United States out of the alliance — and once shoved the prime minister of Montenegro during a photo op. They remember the G-7 meetings where Trump repeatedly interrupted discussions to ask why they couldn’t invite Putin, a leader the rest of them viewed as an adversary but whom Trump saw as a friend.”
Razor-Thin Vote Could Topple Netanyahu Today ~~~~“The political fate of Israel’s longest serving leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is set to be decided on Sunday afternoon, when Parliament will hold a vote of confidence in a new government that would topple Mr. Netanyahu from power for the first time in 12 years,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Netanyahu’s opponents hope that the vote, if it passes, will ease a political stalemate that has produced four elections since 2019 and left Israel without a state budget for more than a year. It will also end, at least for now, the dominance of a politician who has shaped 21st-century Israel more than any other, shifted its politics to the right and overseen the fizzling of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.”
Washington Post: Israel set to approve new governing coalition, ending Netanyahu’s 12-year tenure.
The vote-winning margins in these four states were about 1%, or even much less. Not a whole lot of cheating and theft required to flip the states, if that is what actually historically happened. With Arizona's 11 Electoral College votes, with Georgia's 16, with Pennsylvania's 20, and with Wisconsin's 10, if those slim margins went to President Trump rather than Biden, the Electoral College vote would be 289 votes for Trump and just 249 for Biden. With Trump needing only 270 for the win, maybe that is why the Progressives are so determined that the forensic audits should not happen. Maybe that is why the Deep State cabal does not want light to shine in on the actual votes last November.
What would happen next? What does the military do? How does the Supreme Court rule? And then how do the masses react? How do both the Patriot and also the Progressive citizens react? Does the military put troops and tanks on the streets, especially in Washington, D.C., to keep Biden in the White House? Does the military arrest Trump for winning? Does the Supreme Court finally "man up" and hear the case of election fraud? Does the Supreme Court rule that President Trump is actually president? Does the Supreme Court rule that Trump is President Trump, but then the military vetoes the Court's decision and keeps Biden in the White House?
What then do the people do? How then do the masses react to a probable fraudulent election? Do the Patriots finally take to the streets for a "mostly peaceful protest" of the election? Or do the Patriots say they have had enough of the election fraud and fake president, and it gets violent? Does it become the Reds/Patriots versus Blues/Progressives on our streets? What happens to America if?
It is looking more and more as if, no matter what, the military stays with Biden. The military is looking more "woke" than the Berkeley campus as the military drives out Christians, conservatives, and constitutionalists. The military is more concerned with fighting a nonexistent threat of global warming and a trickle of "white supremacy," appearing unconcerned about a rising Chinese communist menace
If white power and privilege are at an all time high, after 50 years of affirmative action and eight years of a nobel Prize winning black president, then Trump must've been one heluva transformational president in his one little term.
Or...its just more bullshit from the left. Which is it?
Keep a sharp eye on the audits going on now and throughout the summer. What happens if, by Labor Day weekend, more than half of the American people believe there was indeed election fraud and criminality?
It might not be pretty. It might get seriously ugly. But these professional forensic audits are necessary. They must be done professionally and accurately. They will have a big say in who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next three years.
It represents the reaction of racist Americans to one of the most decent Presidents we ever had, Barack Obama, and the decision of the GOP to make use of that racism politically.
Says who? I bet the record high % of black and Hispanic voters who votes for Trump would disagree. You seem to think saying an accusation makes it true. Sorry to burst your bubble on that.
BALLSEY: "...then Trump must've been one heluva transformational president in his one little term.
"Or its(sic) just more bullshit from the left. Which is it?" _______
JAMES: "Neither: It reflects the despicable racist reaction of too many Americans to one of the most decent Presidents we have ever had, and the decision of the GOP to make use of that racism politically.
"They opened their tent wide to the haters, welcoming them. Now they must live with them and do their bidding."
The long and divisive reign of Benjamin Netanyahu, the dominant Israeli politician of the past generation, officially ended on Sunday, at least for the time being, as the country’s Parliament gave its vote of confidence to a precarious coalition government stitched together by widely disparate anti-Netanyahu forces.
Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, voted by just a single vote — 60 to 59, with one abstention — to install the new government.
Naftali Bennett, a former aide to Mr. Netanyahu who opposes a Palestinian state and is considered to the right of his former ally, formally replaces him as prime minister. Yair Lapid, a centrist leader, is set to take Mr. Bennett’s place after two years, if their government can hold together that long.
They lead an eight-party alliance ranging from left to right, from secular to religious, that agrees on little but a desire to oust Mr. Netanyahu, the longest-serving leader in the country’s history, and to end Israel’s lengthy political gridlock.
In a speech made before the confidence vote, Mr. Bennett hailed his unlikely coalition as an essential antidote to an intractable stalemate.
“We stopped the train before the abyss,” Mr. Bennett said. “The time has come for different leaders, from all parts of the people, to stop, to stop this madness.”
Before and after the fragile new government was announced on June 2, Mr. Netanyahu and his right-wing allies labored hard to break it before it could take office. They applied intense pressure on right-wing opposition lawmakers, urging them to peel away from their leaders and refuse to support a coalition that includes centrists, leftists and even a small Arab Islamist party.
It was a watershed moment for politics in Israel, where Mr. Netanyahu, 71, had served as prime minister for a total of 15 years, including the last 12 years uninterrupted. But given Mr. Netanyahu’s record as a shrewd political operator who has defied many previous predictions of his political demise, few Israelis are writing off his career.
Even out of government and standing trial on corruption charges, he remains a formidable force who will likely try to drive wedges between the coalition parties. He remains the leader of the parliamentary opposition and a cagey tactician, with a sizable following and powerful allies.
"The Biden regime is weaponizing January 6 to hunt down and destroy the lives of people—many of whom committed no violent crimes—anywhere near the building that day. The Justice Department is promising to build sedition cases; Biden’s intelligence chiefs are operating outside their authorization in their effort to portray regular Americans as domestic terrorists,"
"Keep a sharp eye on the audits going on now and throughout the summer. What happens if, by Labor Day weekend, more than half of the American people believe there was indeed election fraud and criminality?
It might not be pretty. It might get seriously ugly. But these professional forensic audits are necessary. They must be done professionally and accurately. They will have a big say in who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next three years."
One day in August we will be back to normal.
When Donald Trump is sworn in as a 46th President of the United States of Trump.
Knesset approves new coalition, ending Netanyahu's long rule
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s parliament has narrowly voted in favor of a new coalition government, ending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s historic 12-year rule.
Naftali Bennett, a former ally of Netanyahu turned bitter rival, becomes prime minister, presiding over a diverse and fragile coalition comprised of eight parties with deep ideological differences. Netanyahu remains head of the Likud party and will hold the post of opposition leader.
Netanyahu sat silently during the vote. After it was approved, he stood up to leave the chamber, before turning around and shaking Bennett's hand. A dejected Netanyahu, wearing a black medical mask, then sat down in the opposition leader's chair.
Sunday’s vote, passed by a 60-59 margin, ended a two-year cycle of political paralysis in which the country held four elections.
Minutes later, Bennett was sworn into office, followed by members of the new Cabinet.
FOR YOUR SUNDAY SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT: A STATEMENT BY THE REV. JAMES BOSWELL, retired pastor of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) living n Normal, Illinois: ____________________________
I and other contemporary students and scholars of “the historical Jesus,” including some who are devout Christians, have been severely criticized by scriptural inerrantists for expressing our conviction that Jesus and John the Baptist, and all the apostles and authors of the New Testament were expecting the end of the age to come in their own generation.
MY REPLY: If the historical man Jesus of Nazareth were to come among us today, I think he would beg us to stop repeating the ridiculous notion that he is about to return on clouds of heaven, a notion repeated with firm conviction every few years in almost every generation by fundamentalists who often list certain supposedly inerrant reasons for why this must happen very soon.
I think he would point out to us that he and John the Baptist and the apostles were obviously mistaken in expecting an imminent ending of the world accompanied by the coming of God's wonderful Kingdom on all the earth in their own generation, and that there is now good scientific reason to think that our solar system has perhaps another four billion years left to survive, so that we on this planet should devote our energies to saving rather than destroying the wonderful ecosystem we have inherited but are speedily ruining.
I think too he would want us to understand that he had good reason to think the end was near in his own generation, influenced as he was by the Hebrew Prophets and especially by two visions in the Scroll of Daniel (chapters two and seven) which were written not in Hebrew but in the Aramaic he spoke daily and could easily read and understand even as a very young child, visions which influenced him to speak often in his later teachings of the imminent coming of both "the Kingdom of God" and "the Son of Man."
I also think he would want us to devote more time to examining all his other teachings and trying to determine anew in what ways those teachings are, or are not, still relevant for us today, and if and how and why they still should be practiced by people willing to devote themselves to the amazingly selfless communality he himself taught, lived, suffered and sacrificially died to exemplify.
Most Profoundly Sinister Provision in the New GOP Voter Suppression Laws
All of the GOP measures are designed to make voting harder and reduce the turnout of minorities and other pro-Democratic groups but one key strategy is quite literally designed to turn American elections into meaningless, completely empty rituals like they are in police state dictatorships like Russia.

A Texas hospital system’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for employees can stand after a federal judge on Saturday dismissed a closely watched lawsuit from workers refusing to get the shot.
Southern District of Texas Judge Lynn Hughes made his decision days after Houston Methodist Hospital suspended 178 workers for not getting vaccinated by a June 7 deadline.
The hospital system’s policies were not coercion against staff, Hughes said. They were a choice the hospital system made “to keep staff, patients, and their families safer.”
I have been looking at Sleepy Joe as a transitional leader, like TDR.
Teddy Roosevelt created the National Parks like The Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.
President Joe Biden’s first international trip—a busy European visit that includes both international conferences and one-on-one meetings with world leaders—offers an occasion to look back at the first time a president made a foreign trip while in office, and to think more clearly about America’s changing role in the world. President Theodore Roosevelt’s tour of Panama and Puerto Rico 115 years ago marked the rise of the United States as a global empire, while Biden’s trip reveals a decline in American prestige and supremacy and the fragility of our alliances.
Biden’s trip includes the annual G7 conference, where the focus will be on the international COVID-19 vaccine campaign and climate change, as well as a NATO summit, where he will reassure America’s allies of our commitment to transatlantic security. Yesterday’s meeting in the United Kingdom with Prime Minister Boris Johnson was cordial, as will be Sunday’s meeting with Queen Elizabeth; meetings next week with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin could be more contentious.
Beyond the varied aims of each of these meetings, Biden’s overall trip serves three broad purposes. First, the president seeks to patch up the cracks that formed in our most important alliances over the last four years. President Donald Trump jilted longtime allies by withdrawing from critical international organizations and partnerships, like the World Health Organization and the Paris agreement on climate change, while cozying up to dictators around the globe. Biden can’t erase the harm Trump caused, but he can reassure our international partners that the United States is still a trusted ally.
Bill Kristol on Biden v. Putin
Second, because much of the world increasingly views the United States as an undependable ally, its ability to influence policy and defend democracy is diminished. During four years of Trump leadership, the U.S. standing in the world plummeted. Biden’s trip aims to restore good will among democracies to fight encroachment by authoritarianism.
Finally, and relatedly, Biden will foster international cooperation on global issues like the pandemic and climate change. These issues require participation by the entire international community; they can’t be solved by an America First strategy. Yesterday, President Biden announced details of a plan to donate 500 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine to “92 low- and lower middle-income countries.” In addition to being good public health policy, this announcement is timed to help facilitate further partnerships at the upcoming summits.
In short, the entire trip reflects the Biden administration’s understanding of what has been called the “post-post-Cold War world” and America’s role in it: a superpower that can no longer take its global leadership for granted and that needs alliances and the good will of other nations to achieve its strategic imperatives.
It's an assisted living facility. I pay rent and all three meals and keep track of my medications. I'm here voluntarily and I can come and go as anytime.

It's not forever asshole.
If true you need to occasionally go outside, you’re here 24/7, it’s pathetic
The context of Teddy Roosevelt’s first foreign visit—the first such trip by a sitting president—presented a very different picture. The United States in 1906 was not yet a superpower, but it was on the rise. The burgeoning empire was eager to protect its interests through intimidation or conquest, if necessary. In December 1823, President James Monroe had promulgated the “Monroe Doctrine,” which declared that the Western Hemisphere was closed to further imperial expansion by European empires. In 1905, Roosevelt added a corollary, which announced that the United States intended to protect the status quo of independent nations in the Western Hemisphere from European interference.
Notably, the United States was exempt from the limitations in the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary. A convenient exception, as Roosevelt had willingly used force just a few years prior to safeguard American access to its new canal project in Central America. In November 1903, he had sent American warships to Panama City to “encourage” Panamanian independence and the sale of the territory that the United States required for the Panama Canal. On November 9, 1906, TR visited the construction site to inspect the progress and encourage the laborers working on the site.
Headlines from the Los Angeles Herald dated November 9, 1906.
After his tour of Panama, Roosevelt traveled to Puerto Rico. Congress had passed the Foraker Act three years prior, which granted Puerto Rico “unorganized territory” status and gave Puerto Ricans limited constitutional protections. Roosevelt and his administration believed full statehood impossible because Puerto Ricans had to “first learn the lesson of self-control” before they could be trusted with self-government. Secretary of War Elihu Root justified this colonial paternalism: “They would inevitably fail without a course of tuition under a strong and guiding hand.” After returning from his visit, President Roosevelt delivered a speech to Congress reporting on his observations. He agreed with Root’s assessment: “It would have been a very serious mistake to have gone any faster than we have already gone in this direction [of self-government] . . . it would not be safe to make any change in the present system.”
When the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, it symbolized the technological prowess, emerging economic power, and imperial strength of the United States. Roosevelt’s trip eight years earlier had previewed this rise. He was able to create his desired outcomes—the Panama Canal and Puerto Rican dependency—through military force.
That sort of unilateral action is not feasible today. The world has changed enormously since TR’s day, and so has the position of the United States in it—first in a great crescendo of economic, military, and moral standing during and after the Second World War, and then amid the chaos, competition, and confusion that has followed the end of the Cold War. The United States remains very wealthy and militarily powerful, but the problems we now face—and those we expect to face in the years ahead—will require greater international cooperation, careful management of alliances, and the cultivation of good will. Biden’s trip is designed to make the most of this new world order.

American Greatness likes to think of itself as the “intellectual” home for MAGAWorld.
Despite its dalliance with raw racism, and a fetish for sedition, American Greatness’s roster of contributors includes such right-wing luminaries as Victor David Hanson, Seb Gorka, David Harsanyi, Conrad Black, Roger Kimball, Mark Bauerlein, Josh Hammer, Ned Ryun, Dennis Prager, and Salena Zito.
It also recently published an endorsement of military coups by a retired military guy with close ties to TrumpWorld.
So perhaps attention should be paid.
American Greatness’s latest offering is a piece headlined “Why I Need an AR-15,” by Daniel Gelernter (not to be confused with his non-crazy father, David.)
What the article lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for in the specificity of its threat.
“The current administration in Washington, D.C. is not elected and is not legitimate,” Gelernter writes.
As if confirming this fact, they’ve surrounded themselves with barbed wire and soldiers carrying machine guns. In so doing they implicitly acknowledge the danger posed—to them—by an armed and angry population.
Which brings Gelernter back to his need for an AR-15.
“An AR-15 is not just a tool of last resort: It is a declaration that the last resort exists, a reminder that there are outer limits to the abuse of power.” (Emphasis added.)
To be sure, we’ve heard this sort of thing before. Second Amendment advocates have long insisted that we need guns to be able to fight back against an oppressive government.
But they’ve enjoyed the luxury of vagueness. They seldom have to explain exactly how they think their guns would be used to overthrow the government, or how it would go in a pitched battle between The Real Amurica and the U.S. Military (which has tanks, machine guns, rocket launchers, and fighter planes).
Nor does Gelernter explain how that would work out.
But it does not take any in-depth exegesis to recognize that he is directly linking the threat of armed insurrection to the Big Lie about the election. Gelernter flatly denies the legitimacy of President Biden, and therefore of the entire Administration.
The “last resort” is obviously armed insurrection, and the AR-15 would not simply be for show.
This raises some obvious questions:
In a violent insurrection using AR-15’s, who would Daniel Gelernter and his colleagues at AG shoot? Who would they be willing to kill?
Capitol Police Officers?
Secret Service Agents?
Members of the FBI?
National Guardsmen?
Election Officials? Journalists?
Members of Congress?
The Vice President? The President?
Or is this just all cosplay and MAGA masturbation!!!!!!!
The ABC journalist who broke the infamous story about the 2016 tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been found dead in his apartment.
The body of Christopher Sign, 45, was found in his Birmingham, Alabama apartment on Saturday morning around 8 a.m. His death is being investigated as a suicide, according to police Lt. Keith Czeskleba.
They should investigate crooked Hillary using the internet to verify money deposits to black lives matter people.
And you claim a degree from the Ga party school.....it sure shows!!!~!!!!! Amusing your potential win is failure.....how stupid can one be shorty!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!
If it's a good idea for cops, it should be a good idea for teachers.
I'm talking about body cameras, of course. Beginning after Michael Brown was shot dead by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the left began pushing hard for body cameras so we could be sure the men and women of law enforcement were acting appropriately.
Now, one parents group in Nevada wants educators to start wearing the cameras to make sure no critical race theory gets taught in the classroom.

If it's true, we might survive Donald Trump's attempted coup.
The summit itself is an opportunity for Putin personally. He wants Russia to be seen as an equal to America, But because our President won't hold another Helsinki and suck up to a brutal dictator.
Biden will have his own interpreter and note-taker with him. He may also have Jake Sullivan or Antony Blinken along. Putin will have a similar complement of his people. The summit will take place, and we will move along to the next thing.
""As long as they’re there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, you can’t do that very well without providing for the basic economic needs of people," Biden said. "So, I’m hopeful that we can find an accommodation where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in Libya" The daze of the confused.
The 2018 Helsinki summit was a was wash in that the US didn't get what it wanted (cooperation in reducing cybercrime originating in Russia) and Putin didn't get what we wanted (recognition for Russia as an equal European power, admission into the G7.)
The report cited "an anonymous source who provided us with large amounts of information on the ultrawealthy, everything from the taxes they paid to the income they reported to the profits from their stock trades." The outlet did not reveal its source and only indicated it received the information unsolicited "in raw form."
"Paying one’s taxes is a civic duty, and that duty requires taxpayers to disclose to the IRS deeply personal financial information," they wrote to Garland and Wray, including "where they work or what they do to earn their living, how much money they make, how much they spent on health care and child care, the size and contents of their retirement funds, the property they own, they charities to which they donated, and the persons to whom they are indebted."
"In fact, failing to disclose all of the information demanded by the IRS can land a taxpayer in jail," they wrote, citing the "fundamental, baseline rule of confidentiality for the information that Americans are forced to disclose to the IRS."
"Taxpayers have the right to expect that any information they provide to the IRS will not be disclosed unless authorized by the taxpayer or by law," they noted.
The Republicans noted that the "unauthorized disclosure of returns or return information is a felony, punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment and/or a $5,000 fine," adding that federal law makes it "a felony to even publish returns or return information that were disclosed to the publisher by someone else."
Statement of ConcernThe Threats to American Democracy and the Need for National Voting and Election Administration StandardsSTATEMENT
June 1, 2021
We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.
When democracy breaks down, it typically takes many years, often decades, to reverse the downward spiral. In the process, violence and corruption typically flourish, and talent and wealth flee to more stable countries, undermining national prosperity. It is not just our venerated institutions and norms that are at risk—it is our future national standing, strength, and ability to compete globally.
Statutory changes in large key electoral battleground states are dangerously politicizing the process of electoral administration, with Republican-controlled legislatures giving themselves the power to override electoral outcomes on unproven allegations should Democrats win more votes. They are seeking to restrict access to the ballot, the most basic principle underlying the right of all adult American citizens to participate in our democracy. They are also putting in place criminal sentences and fines meant to intimidate and scare away poll workers and nonpartisan administrators. State legislatures have advanced initiatives that curtail voting methods now preferred by Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as early voting and mail voting. Republican lawmakers have openly talked about ensuring the “purity” and “quality” of the vote, echoing arguments widely used across the Jim Crow South as reasons for restricting the Black vote.
State legislators supporting these changes have cited the urgency of “electoral integrity” and the need to ensure that elections are secure and free of fraud. But by multiple expert judgments, the 2020 election was extremely secure and free of fraud. The reason that Republican voters have concerns is because many Republican officials, led by former President Donald Trump, have manufactured false claims of fraud, claims that have been repeatedly rejected by courts of law, and which Trump’s own lawyers have acknowledged were mere speculation when they testified about them before judges.
In future elections, these laws politicizing the administration and certification of elections could enable some state legislatures or partisan election officials to do what they failed to do in 2020: reverse the outcome of a free and fair election. Further, these laws could entrench extended minority rule, violating the basic and longstanding democratic principle that parties that get the most votes should win elections.
Democracy rests on certain elemental institutional and normative conditions. Elections must be neutrally and fairly administered. They must be free of manipulation. Every citizen who is qualified must have an equal right to vote, unhindered by obstruction. And when they lose elections, political parties and their candidates and supporters must be willing to accept defeat and acknowledge the legitimacy of the outcome. The refusal of prominent Republicans to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, and the anti-democratic laws adopted (or approaching adoption) in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Montana and Texas—and under serious consideration in other Republican-controlled states—violate these principles. More profoundly, these actions call into question whether the United States will remain a democracy. As scholars of democracy, we condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms as a betrayal of our precious democratic heritage.
The most effective remedy for these anti-democratic laws at the state level is federal action to protect equal access of all citizens to the ballot and to guarantee free and fair elections. Just as it ultimately took federal voting rights law to put an end to state-led voter suppression laws throughout the South, so federal law must once again ensure that American citizens’ voting rights do not depend on which party or faction happens to be dominant in their state legislature, and that votes are cast and counted equally, regardless of the state or jurisdiction in which a citizen happens to live. This is widely recognized as a fundamental principle of electoral integrity in democracies around the world.
A new voting rights law (such as that proposed in the John Lewis Voting Rights Act) is essential but alone is not enough. True electoral integrity demands a comprehensive set of national standards that ensure the sanctity and independence of election administration, guarantee that all voters can freely exercise their right to vote, prevent partisan gerrymandering from giving dominant parties in the states an unfair advantage in the process of drawing congressional districts, and regulate ethics and money in politics.
It is always far better for major democracy reforms to be bipartisan, to give change the broadest possible legitimacy. However, in the current hyper-polarized political context such broad bipartisan support is sadly lacking. Elected Republican leaders have had numerous opportunities to repudiate Trump and his “Stop the Steal” crusade, which led to the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Each time, they have sidestepped the truth and enabled the lie to spread.
We urge members of Congress to do whatever is necessary—including suspending the filibuster—in order to pass national voting and election administration standards that both guarantee the vote to all Americans equally, and prevent state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacture the result they want. Our democracy is fundamentally at stake. History will judge what we do at this moment.

So Biden is so afraid of actually answering questions from reporters he can't call on and have scripted answers he refused to have a "press conference" with Putin. Putin would presumably call on some reporters who may not be lapdogs.
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Your opinion and lack of understanding anything is most amusing and telling of your party.....Seems to me Trump and his winging it answers only provided misinformation that served his own needs rather than the county;....His disdain of the press and the lectures he gave reporters when they asked thing he didn't like were indicative of his hate of the press and lack of empathy for the country;....Yeah thief....that was MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
More than 272,000 registered voters don't have a driver's license or state ID on file with election officials; most are Black and live in Democratic-leaning counties, according to an analysis of voter data by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
We know why they don't have an idea why they don't have an identity card.... don't we???????????
The summit itself is an opportunity for Putin personally. He wants Russia to be seen as an equal to America, But because our President won't hold another Helsinki and suck up to a brutal dictator. President Biden will take questions about the summit meeting. President Biden will not declare the FBI and the intelligence agencies, are deep state conspiracists.
Thecoldheartedtruth will declare the former President was absolutely correct.
The FBI and other agencies were investigating Trump to destroy Donald Trump.
The Democrats have been manufacturing fraudulent id's and manufactured ballots for years until Donald Trump caught up to them, the big steal had never been identified until the last election.
Critical race theory is the political right’s new boogeyman.
The theory, born in the 1970s among legal scholars, uses race as a lens through which to examine structures of power. It was, I would argue, a relatively obscure concept — not because it lacked merit, but because it was novel.
That was until Donald Trump elevated it in order to attack it.
In September of 2020, during the run-up to the presidential election, with Trump trailing in the polls, the Office of Management and Budget issued the following directive:
“All agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege,’ or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
Critical race theory was simply an analytical tool, but to some white people, the fact that white supremacy was overtly used to infect America’s systems of power with both racial oppressions and racial privileges is too much to handle. It is discomforting. It unravels the American myth.
But critical race theory doesn’t diagnose the country as evil, even though it is beyond dispute that some evil people designed the architecture of racial oppression in this country and that there are still some who help maintain it. And use it to maintain power.
They don't have an agenda. The true conservative Republicans support small government, limited regulations, and the right to vote in favor of impeachment hearings, despite what they were told to say, by Donald Trump.
They have become the party of Trump, Abraham Lincoln is just a ghost in the wind.
This is Democrat propaganda at the most hysterical.
1.There is no radical changes to core electoral procedures. Steps are being made to assure your vote counts as equally at the next voter and is not diluted by fraudulent votes. Some of this changes was to roll back the emergency procedures implicated because of the COVID virus. This essentially puts the election back to the status quo.
2. They can scream there's no fraud to their hearts content. There was still wide-spread cheating as Democrats took advantage of the COVID to get more votes in by unverified mail-in ballots. Those ballots could not be associated with an eligible voter and there was no proper chain of custody.
3. The only dangers to democracy is cheating Democrats.
4. A list of "scholars" is unnecessary, the statment is political hackery and not list of scholars will make it legitimate.
We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.
In order for you not to have a government issued ID you must have never traveled on a plane ot a cruise ship, open a bank account, drive a car, open a bank account or register to vote or buy/rent a house. If you become old without doing one of those thing then it is a miracle.
But it does happen. My mother-in-law never did those things. When she finally had to open a bank account she had to get a government issued ID. We had a difficult time proving she was an American citizen because she didn't even have a birth certificate. At the time maternity hospitals were few and far in between so she was born at home.
We had to go through her WWII work records that list her as an American citizen.
The majority of voters who don't have a government issued ID are prominently older African American citizens.
More than 272,000 registered voters don't have a driver's license or state ID on file with election officials; most are Black and live in Democratic-leaning counties, according to an analysis of voter data by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Then perhaps they shouldn't be voting. I suspect that 250,000K of them are fraudulent!
In its latest Monthly Oil Report, the IEA called on OPEC+ to increase production in order to counter higher demand in 2022
latest Monthly Oil Report, the IEA called on OPEC+ to increase production.
The agency claimed that, based on current global economic growth expectations, demand for crude oil and petroleum products will be reaching pre-COVID levels by 2022. The Paris-based energy watchdog, which has come under fire after its shocking Net-Zero by 2050 report called for no more investments in oil and gas, stated that “OPEC+ needs to open the taps to keep the world oil markets adequately supplied”. At the same time, the IEA has also reiterated that market realities are at odds with its proposed strategies to reach net zero-emission levels by 2050. Criticism will likely be harsh for the “former” leading oil and gas agency, as the agency has called upon the world to double down on renewables and commit to the Paris Agreement while admitting that the global economy continues to demand vast amounts of hydrocarbons."

The pederast and the alky revel in their bigotry that minorities are simply too stupid to secure a voter ID, and they are completely comfortable with simultaneously disenfranchising the votes of those minorities by allowing a tsunami of voter fraud into our electoral system.

LEESBURG, VA—As part of a new diversity and inclusion initiative, the Loudoun County school board has directed teachers to hang up inspirational "You Can't Do It! (due to white supremacy and systemic oppression)" posters throughout all schools to remind students of color that they will likely not succeed in life unless white liberals dismantle the systems of oppression designed to keep black people from succeeding.
"Don't worry -- we don't teach CRT here at our schools anymore!" said teacher Sandy Stout. "We simply teach that racism is baked into a system of capitalist whiteness that is designed to make it impossible for students of color to get ahead in life. We need our black students to know that America wasn't made for them and that they will likely fail at everything unless we white people successfully dismantle Western Civilization completely."
"It's a true message of hope for everyone!"
Other inspirational wall hangings being considered are:
Take time to reflect on your disadvantage!
Blame an oppressor today!
You are powerless.
2+2=OPPRESSION
Just say "NO" to microaggressions
Don't worry-- white liberals will take care of you!
The school board reemphasized that they are not teaching Critical Race Theory but rather an honest look at the effects of racism on society throughout history.
"If you oppose this, you are a literal white supremacist," said Stout.

America is back to normality
Biden emphasizes U.S. leadership in conflicts with autocrats
“I know this gonna sound somewhat prosaic, but I think we’re in a contest," he said at the end of the G-7 summit.

President Joe Biden highlighted the camaraderie of the G-7 summit on Sunday, telling reporters that the enthusiasm about the U.S.’ full engagement and return to the table was palpable.
But with America’s supposed return as the leader of world democracy comes the weight of having to address conflict with non-democratic countries like Russia and China.
“I know this is gonna sound somewhat prosaic, but I think we’re in a contest ... with autocrats, autocratic governments around the world, as to whether or not democracies can compete with them in a rapidly changing 21st century,” Biden said during a press conference in England.
“And I think how we act, whether we pull together as democracies, is going to determine whether our grandkids look back 15 years from now and say, ‘Did they step up? Are democracies as relevant and as powerful as they had been?”
Discussing the G-7 end-of-summit communique, Biden repeatedly said Sunday that his goal isn’t conflict with adversaries, but to find points of compromise. But, he said, where leaders fail to act with behavior that is “consistent with international norms,” the U.S. will respond and hold the countries accountable when it comes to threats such as the ongoing cyberattacks plaguing U.S. infrastructure.
Biden will start with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, where he’s set to meet with the Russian president in Geneva, Switzerland. The summit will take place at the end of Biden’s broader visit to Europe, where he’s meeting with America’s allies in NATO and the European Union, giving the president a chance to listen to the concerns of other leaders ahead of the meeting with Putin.
Putin, in an interview Friday, said Russia’s relationship with the United States has “deteriorated to its lowest point” in recent years.
“Let me be clear that he’s right in it’s a low point, and it depends on how he responds to acting consistent international norms,” Biden said Sunday. “In many cases, he has not.”
Biden was candid about America's inability to change Putin’s behavior through measures such as sanctions. But with other problems facing Russia, Biden said there will be room for finding common ground.
“Let me say it this way, Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms, but they have also have also bitten off some real problems they’re going to have trouble chewing on,” citing Russia’s attempt at rebuilding Syria as one example where the U.S. may be able to find a way to negotiate with Putin.
Biden was also pressed on whether the G-7 communique had enough concrete action to address China, and whether he was satisfied with the statement. Biden said he was, noting that China wasn’t mentioned the last time the G-7 leaders convened. He also highlighted the group’s decision in Sunday’s release to explicitly condemn human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
“And so what I think you’re going to see is straightforward dealing with China,” Biden said.
The president said in order to ease tensions, China must act with transparency, pointing to the country's lack of cooperation in determining the pandemic’s origin, as one example.
“It's important to know the answer to that because we have to have access — we have to build a system whereby we can know what, when we see another [country’s] lack of transparency."

What Happens if the Election Audits Go Trump's Way?
By Andrew W. Coy
What will the military, the Supreme Court, and the people eventually do? How will the military, the Supreme Court, and the masses react to the outcome? How will the military move, how will the Supreme Court rule, and eventually do the masses rise up and take to the streets...if it becomes clear that the presidential election of 2020 was compromised, was stolen, or at the very least had way too many abnormalities and illegalities and thus the wrong person is possibly sitting in the White House? What happens if it becomes clear that President Trump was re-elected and the Progressives actually stole the election? What happens if we find out that the election was manipulated? What happens if?
We might find out these answers in the coming months. Maybe. What about the forensic audits of the popular votes in the contested key states?
Before the actual election in November, President Trump predicted cheating as you've never seen before. President Trump said there would be voter fraud like never before in U.S. history. Many people throughout the White House believed and were certain that something felonious was about to happen. At 10:30 on Election Night, President Trump was up by good margins in the key states. Then the key states shut down the election tabulations of votes "for the night." (By the way, the stopping of counting votes for the night had never happened before in presidential history.) And then when we woke up in the morning, after the tallying of votes was supposedly shut down "for the night," Joe Biden had pulled ahead, stayed ahead, and assumed the White House. As of this writing, Biden has 306 Electoral College votes, and President Trump has 232 votes. Two hundred seventy votes is the magic number to win the presidency.
But what about the forensic audits in the key contested states? Starting with Arizona, then Georgia, then Pennsylvania, then...
PROGRESS!

Trump’s Shadow Still Looms Over G-7 Summit
Washington Post:
“Trump’s shadow has loomed large over Biden’s first trip abroad as president — an eight-day swing through Cornwall, England; Brussels; and Geneva, where Biden is being welcomed as much for who he is not as for who he is…
“Biden, by contrast, was greeted with delight by leaders at the Group of Seven gathering of the world’s wealthy market democracies, who are relieved that Trump’s tantrums will be replaced by Biden’s backslapping…
“Leaders have dark memories of past NATO summits, when Trump
threatened to pull the United States out of the alliance —
and once shoved the prime minister of Montenegro during a photo op.
They remember the G-7 meetings where Trump repeatedly interrupted discussions
to ask why they couldn’t invite Putin, a leader the rest of them viewed as an adversary
but whom Trump saw as a friend.”
Razor-Thin Vote Could Topple Netanyahu Today
~~~~“The political fate of Israel’s longest serving leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is set to be decided on Sunday afternoon, when Parliament will hold a vote of confidence in a new government that would topple Mr. Netanyahu from power for the first time in 12 years,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Netanyahu’s opponents hope that the vote, if it passes, will ease a political stalemate that has produced four elections since 2019 and left Israel without a state budget for more than a year. It will also end, at least for now, the dominance of a politician who has shaped 21st-century Israel more than any other, shifted its politics to the right and overseen the fizzling of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.”
Washington Post:
Israel set to approve new governing coalition, ending Netanyahu’s 12-year tenure.
The vote-winning margins in these four states were about 1%, or even much less. Not a whole lot of cheating and theft required to flip the states, if that is what actually historically happened. With Arizona's 11 Electoral College votes, with Georgia's 16, with Pennsylvania's 20, and with Wisconsin's 10, if those slim margins went to President Trump rather than Biden, the Electoral College vote would be 289 votes for Trump and just 249 for Biden. With Trump needing only 270 for the win, maybe that is why the Progressives are so determined that the forensic audits should not happen. Maybe that is why the Deep State cabal does not want light to shine in on the actual votes last November.
What would happen next? What does the military do? How does the Supreme Court rule? And then how do the masses react? How do both the Patriot and also the Progressive citizens react? Does the military put troops and tanks on the streets, especially in Washington, D.C., to keep Biden in the White House? Does the military arrest Trump for winning? Does the Supreme Court finally "man up" and hear the case of election fraud? Does the Supreme Court rule that President Trump is actually president? Does the Supreme Court rule that Trump is President Trump, but then the military vetoes the Court's decision and keeps Biden in the White House?
What then do the people do? How then do the masses react to a probable fraudulent election? Do the Patriots finally take to the streets for a "mostly peaceful protest" of the election? Or do the Patriots say they have had enough of the election fraud and fake president, and it gets violent? Does it become the Reds/Patriots versus Blues/Progressives on our streets? What happens to America if?
It is looking more and more as if, no matter what, the military stays with Biden. The military is looking more "woke" than the Berkeley campus as the military drives out Christians, conservatives, and constitutionalists. The military is more concerned with fighting a nonexistent threat of global warming and a trickle of "white supremacy," appearing unconcerned about a rising Chinese communist menace
If white power and privilege are at an all time high, after 50 years of affirmative action and eight years of a nobel Prize winning black president, then Trump must've been one heluva transformational president in his one little term.
Or...its just more bullshit from the left. Which is it?
Keep a sharp eye on the audits going on now and throughout the summer. What happens if, by Labor Day weekend, more than half of the American people believe there was indeed election fraud and criminality?
It might not be pretty. It might get seriously ugly. But these professional forensic audits are necessary. They must be done professionally and accurately. They will have a big say in who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next three years.

Netanyahu is gone!
The long and divisive reign of Benjamin Netanyahu, the dominant Israeli politician of the past generation, officially ended on Sunday, at least for the time being, as the country’s Parliament gave its vote of confidence to a precarious coalition government stitched together by widely disparate anti-Netanyahu forces.
Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, voted by just a single vote — 60 to 59, with one abstention — to install the new government.
Naftali Bennett, a former aide to Mr. Netanyahu who opposes a Palestinian state and is considered to the right of his former ally, formally replaces him as prime minister. Yair Lapid, a centrist leader, is set to take Mr. Bennett’s place after two years, if their government can hold together that long.
They lead an eight-party alliance ranging from left to right, from secular to religious, that agrees on little but a desire to oust Mr. Netanyahu, the longest-serving leader in the country’s history, and to end Israel’s lengthy political gridlock.
In a speech made before the confidence vote, Mr. Bennett hailed his unlikely coalition as an essential antidote to an intractable stalemate.
“We stopped the train before the abyss,” Mr. Bennett said. “The time has come for different leaders, from all parts of the people, to stop, to stop this madness.”
Before and after the fragile new government was announced on June 2, Mr. Netanyahu and his right-wing allies labored hard to break it before it could take office. They applied intense pressure on right-wing opposition lawmakers, urging them to peel away from their leaders and refuse to support a coalition that includes centrists, leftists and even a small Arab Islamist party.
It was a watershed moment for politics in Israel, where Mr. Netanyahu, 71, had served as prime minister for a total of 15 years, including the last 12 years uninterrupted. But given Mr. Netanyahu’s record as a shrewd political operator who has defied many previous predictions of his political demise, few Israelis are writing off his career.
Even out of government and standing trial on corruption charges, he remains a formidable force who will likely try to drive wedges between the coalition parties. He remains the leader of the parliamentary opposition and a cagey tactician, with a sizable following and powerful allies.
The coalition is very fragile.

Knesset approves new coalition, ending Netanyahu's long rule
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s parliament has narrowly voted in favor of a new coalition government, ending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s historic 12-year rule.
Naftali Bennett, a former ally of Netanyahu turned bitter rival, becomes prime minister, presiding over a diverse and fragile coalition comprised of eight parties with deep ideological differences. Netanyahu remains head of the Likud party and will hold the post of opposition leader.
Netanyahu sat silently during the vote. After it was approved, he stood up to leave the chamber, before turning around and shaking Bennett's hand. A dejected Netanyahu, wearing a black medical mask, then sat down in the opposition leader's chair.
Sunday’s vote, passed by a 60-59 margin, ended a two-year cycle of political paralysis in which the country held four elections.
Minutes later, Bennett was sworn into office, followed by members of the new Cabinet.
FOR YOUR SUNDAY SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT:
A STATEMENT BY THE REV. JAMES BOSWELL, retired pastor of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) living n Normal, Illinois:
____________________________
I and other contemporary students and scholars of “the historical Jesus,” including some who are devout Christians, have been severely criticized by scriptural inerrantists for expressing our conviction that Jesus and John the Baptist, and all the apostles and authors of the New Testament were expecting the end of the age to come in their own generation.
MY REPLY: If the historical man Jesus of Nazareth were to come among us today, I think he would beg us to stop repeating the ridiculous notion that he is about to return on clouds of heaven, a notion repeated with firm conviction every few years in almost every generation by fundamentalists who often list certain supposedly inerrant reasons for why this must happen very soon.
I think he would point out to us that he and John the Baptist and the apostles were obviously mistaken in expecting an imminent ending of the world accompanied by the coming of God's wonderful Kingdom on all the earth in their own generation, and that there is now good scientific reason to think that our solar system has perhaps another four billion years left to survive, so that we on this planet should devote our energies to saving rather than destroying the wonderful ecosystem we have inherited but are speedily ruining.
I think too he would want us to understand that he had good reason to think the end was near in his own generation, influenced as he was by the Hebrew Prophets and especially by two visions in the Scroll of Daniel (chapters two and seven) which were written not in Hebrew but in the Aramaic he spoke daily and could easily read and understand even as a very young child, visions which influenced him to speak often in his later teachings of the imminent coming of both "the Kingdom of God" and "the Son of Man."
I also think he would want us to devote more time to examining all his other teachings and trying to determine anew in what ways those teachings are, or are not, still relevant for us today, and if and how and why they still should be practiced by people willing to devote themselves to the amazingly selfless communality he himself taught, lived, suffered and sacrificially died to exemplify.

Most Profoundly Sinister Provision in the New GOP Voter Suppression Laws
All of the GOP measures are designed to make voting harder and reduce the turnout of minorities and other pro-Democratic groups but one key strategy is quite literally designed to turn American elections into meaningless, completely empty rituals like they are in police state dictatorships like Russia.

A Texas hospital system’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for employees can stand after a federal judge on Saturday dismissed a closely watched lawsuit from workers refusing to get the shot.
Southern District of Texas Judge Lynn Hughes made his decision days after Houston Methodist Hospital suspended 178 workers for not getting vaccinated by a June 7 deadline.
The hospital system’s policies were not coercion against staff, Hughes said. They were a choice the hospital system made “to keep staff, patients, and their families safer.”
The safety of others matters.

Lol. Sure you did. Just like Roger is an expert in economics.
I have been looking at Sleepy Joe as a transitional leader, like TDR.
Teddy Roosevelt created the National Parks like The Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.
President Joe Biden’s first international trip—a busy European visit that includes both international conferences and one-on-one meetings with world leaders—offers an occasion to look back at the first time a president made a foreign trip while in office, and to think more clearly about America’s changing role in the world. President Theodore Roosevelt’s tour of Panama and Puerto Rico 115 years ago marked the rise of the United States as a global empire, while Biden’s trip reveals a decline in American prestige and supremacy and the fragility of our alliances.
Biden’s trip includes the annual G7 conference, where the focus will be on the international COVID-19 vaccine campaign and climate change, as well as a NATO summit, where he will reassure America’s allies of our commitment to transatlantic security. Yesterday’s meeting in the United Kingdom with Prime Minister Boris Johnson was cordial, as will be Sunday’s meeting with Queen Elizabeth; meetings next week with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin could be more contentious.
Beyond the varied aims of each of these meetings, Biden’s overall trip serves three broad purposes. First, the president seeks to patch up the cracks that formed in our most important alliances over the last four years. President Donald Trump jilted longtime allies by withdrawing from critical international organizations and partnerships, like the World Health Organization and the Paris agreement on climate change, while cozying up to dictators around the globe. Biden can’t erase the harm Trump caused, but he can reassure our international partners that the United States is still a trusted ally.
Bill Kristol on Biden v. Putin
Second, because much of the world increasingly views the United States as an undependable ally, its ability to influence policy and defend democracy is diminished. During four years of Trump leadership, the U.S. standing in the world plummeted. Biden’s trip aims to restore good will among democracies to fight encroachment by authoritarianism.
Finally, and relatedly, Biden will foster international cooperation on global issues like the pandemic and climate change. These issues require participation by the entire international community; they can’t be solved by an America First strategy. Yesterday, President Biden announced details of a plan to donate 500 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine to “92 low- and lower middle-income countries.” In addition to being good public health policy, this announcement is timed to help facilitate further partnerships at the upcoming summits.
In short, the entire trip reflects the Biden administration’s understanding of what has been called the “post-post-Cold War world” and America’s role in it: a superpower that can no longer take its global leadership for granted and that needs alliances and the good will of other nations to achieve its strategic imperatives.
To take on China, our largest and again largest dangerous rival in the post Cold War era.
So he is going to keep us in NATO.

Sure ya do
That pasty white skin hasn’t seen the sun in years. You almost look ashy
The context of Teddy Roosevelt’s first foreign visit—the first such trip by a sitting president—presented a very different picture. The United States in 1906 was not yet a superpower, but it was on the rise. The burgeoning empire was eager to protect its interests through intimidation or conquest, if necessary. In December 1823, President James Monroe had promulgated the “Monroe Doctrine,” which declared that the Western Hemisphere was closed to further imperial expansion by European empires. In 1905, Roosevelt added a corollary, which announced that the United States intended to protect the status quo of independent nations in the Western Hemisphere from European interference.
Notably, the United States was exempt from the limitations in the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary. A convenient exception, as Roosevelt had willingly used force just a few years prior to safeguard American access to its new canal project in Central America. In November 1903, he had sent American warships to Panama City to “encourage” Panamanian independence and the sale of the territory that the United States required for the Panama Canal. On November 9, 1906, TR visited the construction site to inspect the progress and encourage the laborers working on the site.
Headlines from the Los Angeles Herald dated November 9, 1906.
After his tour of Panama, Roosevelt traveled to Puerto Rico. Congress had passed the Foraker Act three years prior, which granted Puerto Rico “unorganized territory” status and gave Puerto Ricans limited constitutional protections. Roosevelt and his administration believed full statehood impossible because Puerto Ricans had to “first learn the lesson of self-control” before they could be trusted with self-government. Secretary of War Elihu Root justified this colonial paternalism: “They would inevitably fail without a course of tuition under a strong and guiding hand.” After returning from his visit, President Roosevelt delivered a speech to Congress reporting on his observations. He agreed with Root’s assessment: “It would have been a very serious mistake to have gone any faster than we have already gone in this direction [of self-government] . . . it would not be safe to make any change in the present system.”
When the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, it symbolized the technological prowess, emerging economic power, and imperial strength of the United States. Roosevelt’s trip eight years earlier had previewed this rise. He was able to create his desired outcomes—the Panama Canal and Puerto Rican dependency—through military force.
That sort of unilateral action is not feasible today. The world has changed enormously since TR’s day, and so has the position of the United States in it—first in a great crescendo of economic, military, and moral standing during and after the Second World War, and then amid the chaos, competition, and confusion that has followed the end of the Cold War. The United States remains very wealthy and militarily powerful, but the problems we now face—and those we expect to face in the years ahead—will require greater international cooperation, careful management of alliances, and the cultivation of good will. Biden’s trip is designed to make the most of this new world order.

Netanyahu is gone!
The last resort?
American Greatness likes to think of itself as the “intellectual” home for MAGAWorld.
Despite its dalliance with raw racism, and a fetish for sedition, American Greatness’s roster of contributors includes such right-wing luminaries as Victor David Hanson, Seb Gorka, David Harsanyi, Conrad Black, Roger Kimball, Mark Bauerlein, Josh Hammer, Ned Ryun, Dennis Prager, and Salena Zito.
It also recently published an endorsement of military coups by a retired military guy with close ties to TrumpWorld.
So perhaps attention should be paid.
American Greatness’s latest offering is a piece headlined “Why I Need an AR-15,” by Daniel Gelernter (not to be confused with his non-crazy father, David.)
What the article lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for in the specificity of its threat.
“The current administration in Washington, D.C. is not elected and is not legitimate,” Gelernter writes.
As if confirming this fact, they’ve surrounded themselves with barbed wire and soldiers carrying machine guns. In so doing they implicitly acknowledge the danger posed—to them—by an armed and angry population.
Which brings Gelernter back to his need for an AR-15.
“An AR-15 is not just a tool of last resort: It is a declaration that the last resort exists, a reminder that there are outer limits to the abuse of power.” (Emphasis added.)
To be sure, we’ve heard this sort of thing before. Second Amendment advocates have long insisted that we need guns to be able to fight back against an oppressive government.
But they’ve enjoyed the luxury of vagueness. They seldom have to explain exactly how they think their guns would be used to overthrow the government, or how it would go in a pitched battle between The Real Amurica and the U.S. Military (which has tanks, machine guns, rocket launchers, and fighter planes).
Nor does Gelernter explain how that would work out.
But it does not take any in-depth exegesis to recognize that he is directly linking the threat of armed insurrection to the Big Lie about the election. Gelernter flatly denies the legitimacy of President Biden, and therefore of the entire Administration.
The “last resort” is obviously armed insurrection, and the AR-15 would not simply be for show.
This raises some obvious questions:
In a violent insurrection using AR-15’s, who would Daniel Gelernter and his colleagues at AG shoot? Who would they be willing to kill?
Capitol Police Officers?
Secret Service Agents?
Members of the FBI?
National Guardsmen?
Election Officials? Journalists?
Members of Congress?
The Vice President? The President?
Or is this just all cosplay and MAGA masturbation!!!!!!!
They are now called right-wing, religious, white supremacist, insurrectionist by the leftest media.
Berkeley campus as the military drives out Christians, conservatives, and constitutionalists.
This article is trying to make the intellectual case for socialist tyranny over a complacent populist.
The last resort?
It's also known that since WWII there has been more domestic violence from leftest socialist than any other political faction.

I'm talking about body cameras, of course. Beginning after Michael Brown was shot dead by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the left began pushing hard for body cameras so we could be sure the men and women of law enforcement were acting appropriately.
Now, one parents group in Nevada wants educators to start wearing the cameras to make sure no critical race theory gets taught in the classroom.
A food for thought!

It could be the next big deal
There are drawbacks to hydrogen fuel cells.
1. It's energy to extract hydrogen from sea water. More energy than is yielded through the burning of hydrogen.
2. There is no distribution infrastructure for hydrogen to create one would be very difficult because.
3. Hydrogen is ten times more dangerous than gasoline to transport, dispense, and use.
Maybe he won't let the Republicans to destroy the United States of America.

Except correct but. 140 years ago when we started using petroleum products.
There was no infrastructure.
But hydrogen fuel has zero carbon emissions.
It can also be extracted from oil. So the same industrial companie would be able to convert their manufacturing systems.
The Japanese government is pushing for it because they don't have any oil sources.
Remember when Amazon sold books from his garage.
Not altogether true. The processes extracting hydrogen will have a very large carbon footprint.
But hydrogen fuel has zero carbon emissions.
You are using the same rhetoric as the segregationist party said in 1967.
I remember that shit
May have a very large carbon footprint,depending on technology of the modern era.
Manchin will easily win re-election (the GOP hasn't seriously contest the seat in years) if he doesn't vote for HR1.

My point is that no "segregationist" party is saying they were lone wolf actors. It is the FBI

McConnell, Grassley, Crapo demand DOJ, FBI probe disclosure of tax information of super wealthy
The report cited "an anonymous source who provided us with large amounts of information on the ultrawealthy, everything from the taxes they paid to the income they reported to the profits from their stock trades." The outlet did not reveal its source and only indicated it received the information unsolicited "in raw form."
"Paying one’s taxes is a civic duty, and that duty requires taxpayers to disclose to the IRS deeply personal financial information," they wrote to Garland and Wray, including "where they work or what they do to earn their living, how much money they make, how much they spent on health care and child care, the size and contents of their retirement funds, the property they own, they charities to which they donated, and the persons to whom they are indebted."
"In fact, failing to disclose all of the information demanded by the IRS can land a taxpayer in jail," they wrote, citing the "fundamental, baseline rule of confidentiality for the information that Americans are forced to disclose to the IRS."
"Taxpayers have the right to expect that any information they provide to the IRS will not be disclosed unless authorized by the taxpayer or by law," they noted.
The Republicans noted that the "unauthorized disclosure of returns or return information is a felony, punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment and/or a $5,000 fine," adding that federal law makes it "a felony to even publish returns or return information that were disclosed to the publisher by someone else."
Statement of ConcernThe Threats to American Democracy and the Need for National Voting and Election Administration StandardsSTATEMENT
June 1, 2021
We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.
When democracy breaks down, it typically takes many years, often decades, to reverse the downward spiral. In the process, violence and corruption typically flourish, and talent and wealth flee to more stable countries, undermining national prosperity. It is not just our venerated institutions and norms that are at risk—it is our future national standing, strength, and ability to compete globally.
Statutory changes in large key electoral battleground states are dangerously politicizing the process of electoral administration, with Republican-controlled legislatures giving themselves the power to override electoral outcomes on unproven allegations should Democrats win more votes. They are seeking to restrict access to the ballot, the most basic principle underlying the right of all adult American citizens to participate in our democracy. They are also putting in place criminal sentences and fines meant to intimidate and scare away poll workers and nonpartisan administrators. State legislatures have advanced initiatives that curtail voting methods now preferred by Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as early voting and mail voting. Republican lawmakers have openly talked about ensuring the “purity” and “quality” of the vote, echoing arguments widely used across the Jim Crow South as reasons for restricting the Black vote.
State legislators supporting these changes have cited the urgency of “electoral integrity” and the need to ensure that elections are secure and free of fraud. But by multiple expert judgments, the 2020 election was extremely secure and free of fraud. The reason that Republican voters have concerns is because many Republican officials, led by former President Donald Trump, have manufactured false claims of fraud, claims that have been repeatedly rejected by courts of law, and which Trump’s own lawyers have acknowledged were mere speculation when they testified about them before judges.
In future elections, these laws politicizing the administration and certification of elections could enable some state legislatures or partisan election officials to do what they failed to do in 2020: reverse the outcome of a free and fair election. Further, these laws could entrench extended minority rule, violating the basic and longstanding democratic principle that parties that get the most votes should win elections.
Democracy rests on certain elemental institutional and normative conditions. Elections must be neutrally and fairly administered. They must be free of manipulation. Every citizen who is qualified must have an equal right to vote, unhindered by obstruction. And when they lose elections, political parties and their candidates and supporters must be willing to accept defeat and acknowledge the legitimacy of the outcome. The refusal of prominent Republicans to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, and the anti-democratic laws adopted (or approaching adoption) in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Montana and Texas—and under serious consideration in other Republican-controlled states—violate these principles. More profoundly, these actions call into question whether the United States will remain a democracy. As scholars of democracy, we condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms as a betrayal of our precious democratic heritage.
The most effective remedy for these anti-democratic laws at the state level is federal action to protect equal access of all citizens to the ballot and to guarantee free and fair elections. Just as it ultimately took federal voting rights law to put an end to state-led voter suppression laws throughout the South, so federal law must once again ensure that American citizens’ voting rights do not depend on which party or faction happens to be dominant in their state legislature, and that votes are cast and counted equally, regardless of the state or jurisdiction in which a citizen happens to live. This is widely recognized as a fundamental principle of electoral integrity in democracies around the world.
A new voting rights law (such as that proposed in the John Lewis Voting Rights Act) is essential but alone is not enough. True electoral integrity demands a comprehensive set of national standards that ensure the sanctity and independence of election administration, guarantee that all voters can freely exercise their right to vote, prevent partisan gerrymandering from giving dominant parties in the states an unfair advantage in the process of drawing congressional districts, and regulate ethics and money in politics.
It is always far better for major democracy reforms to be bipartisan, to give change the broadest possible legitimacy. However, in the current hyper-polarized political context such broad bipartisan support is sadly lacking. Elected Republican leaders have had numerous opportunities to repudiate Trump and his “Stop the Steal” crusade, which led to the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Each time, they have sidestepped the truth and enabled the lie to spread.
We urge members of Congress to do whatever is necessary—including suspending the filibuster—in order to pass national voting and election administration standards that both guarantee the vote to all Americans equally, and prevent state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacture the result they want. Our democracy is fundamentally at stake. History will judge what we do at this moment.

Gee Roger.....a group of signatories from elite colleges and institutions just trying to make an issue where non exists according the the host of this slice of heaven....Just another example of Liberals wasting time and effort against laws the protect the integrity of cheating!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!
So Biden is so afraid of actually answering questions from reporters he can't call on and have scripted answers he refused to have a "press conference" with Putin. Putin would presumably call on some reporters who may not be lapdogs.
Unlike the MSM.
And besides Putin would see Biden's cheat sheet.
And point it out
Joe Biden's America
FAKE NEWS
Fake press conferences
1984
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Your opinion and lack of understanding anything is most amusing and telling of your party.....Seems to me Trump and his winging it answers only provided misinformation that served his own needs rather than the county;....His disdain of the press and the lectures he gave reporters when they asked thing he didn't like were indicative of his hate of the press and lack of empathy for the country;....Yeah thief....that was MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
More than 272,000 registered voters don't have a driver's license or state ID on file with election officials; most are Black and live in Democratic-leaning counties, according to an analysis of voter data by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
We know why they don't have an idea why they don't have an identity card.... don't we???????????

You have exactly correct.
Even before the day of the nomination of the Republican party.
He didn't support him before that day.
But from day one of Birther campaign began he didn't speak out against him.
Because Thecoldheartedtruth is that he is a white supremacist.
Most of them are dead ?
The summit itself is an opportunity for Putin personally. He wants Russia to be seen as an equal to America, But because our President won't hold another Helsinki and suck up to a brutal dictator. President Biden will take questions about the summit meeting. President Biden will not declare the FBI and the intelligence agencies, are deep state conspiracists.
Thecoldheartedtruth will declare the former President was absolutely correct.
The FBI and other agencies were investigating Trump to destroy Donald Trump.
The Democrats have been manufacturing fraudulent id's and manufactured ballots for years until Donald Trump caught up to them, the big steal had never been identified until the last election.
Go eat children fried vaginal soup.
They can get an ID to buy alcohol.
Critical race theory is the political right’s new boogeyman.
The theory, born in the 1970s among legal scholars, uses race as a lens through which to examine structures of power. It was, I would argue, a relatively obscure concept — not because it lacked merit, but because it was novel.
That was until Donald Trump elevated it in order to attack it.
In September of 2020, during the run-up to the presidential election, with Trump trailing in the polls, the Office of Management and Budget issued the following directive:
“All agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege,’ or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
Critical race theory was simply an analytical tool, but to some white people, the fact that white supremacy was overtly used to infect America’s systems of power with both racial oppressions and racial privileges is too much to handle. It is discomforting. It unravels the American myth.
But critical race theory doesn’t diagnose the country as evil, even though it is beyond dispute that some evil people designed the architecture of racial oppression in this country and that there are still some who help maintain it. And use it to maintain power.
They don't have an agenda. The true conservative Republicans support small government, limited regulations, and the right to vote in favor of impeachment hearings, despite what they were told to say, by Donald Trump.
They have become the party of Trump, Abraham Lincoln is just a ghost in the wind.
Part of it is here.
The rest is the alky etc.

How long has it been since you were asked to provide an ID card to buy a six pack of beer?
The majority of voters who don't have a government issued ID are prominently older African American citizens.
If the Republicans can reduce turnout by a tiny margin, can win in predominantly Democratic voters.
They are fraud voters like Mickey Mouse and Deep State Detective.
With so many it should be real easy to interview a couple.
What did they say when asked in person ?
This is Democrat propaganda at the most hysterical.
1.There is no radical changes to core electoral procedures. Steps are being made to assure your vote counts as equally at the next voter and is not diluted by fraudulent votes. Some of this changes was to roll back the emergency procedures implicated because of the COVID virus. This essentially puts the election back to the status quo.
2. They can scream there's no fraud to their hearts content. There was still wide-spread cheating as Democrats took advantage of the COVID to get more votes in by unverified mail-in ballots. Those ballots could not be associated with an eligible voter and there was no proper chain of custody.
3. The only dangers to democracy is cheating Democrats.
4. A list of "scholars" is unnecessary, the statment is political hackery and not list of scholars will make it legitimate.
We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.
In order for you not to have a government issued ID you must have never traveled on a plane ot a cruise ship, open a bank account, drive a car, open a bank account or register to vote or buy/rent a house. If you become old without doing one of those thing then it is a miracle.
But it does happen. My mother-in-law never did those things. When she finally had to open a bank account she had to get a government issued ID. We had a difficult time proving she was an American citizen because she didn't even have a birth certificate. At the time maternity hospitals were few and far in between so she was born at home.
We had to go through her WWII work records that list her as an American citizen.
The majority of voters who don't have a government issued ID are prominently older African American citizens.

Yesterday when I bought wine. It’s required in most areas of GA

Then perhaps they shouldn't be voting. I suspect that 250,000K of them are fraudulent!

In its latest Monthly Oil Report, the IEA called on OPEC+ to increase production in order to counter higher demand in 2022
latest Monthly Oil Report, the IEA called on OPEC+ to increase production.
The agency claimed that, based on current global economic growth expectations, demand for crude oil and petroleum products will be reaching pre-COVID levels by 2022. The Paris-based energy watchdog, which has come under fire after its shocking Net-Zero by 2050 report called for no more investments in oil and gas, stated that “OPEC+ needs to open the taps to keep the world oil markets adequately supplied”. At the same time, the IEA has also reiterated that market realities are at odds with its proposed strategies to reach net zero-emission levels by 2050. Criticism will likely be harsh for the “former” leading oil and gas agency, as the agency has called upon the world to double down on renewables and commit to the Paris Agreement while admitting that the global economy continues to demand vast amounts of hydrocarbons."
