Biden and Democrats are in trouble... and pointing fingers is not helping!
HOLY...@JoeBiden is -36 with independent voters in a new WSJ survey.
— Michael McAdams (@M_McAdams) December 7, 2021
Only 30% approve and 66% disapprove.
Republicans hold massive leads on:
- Rebuilding the Economy
- Getting inflation under control
- Securing the borderhttps://t.co/0kkdiPJrYg
30% approval with independents, but independents are who actually drove Biden's popular vote lead on election night. For all practical purposes this is a 20 point drop or more from election day.
Look, the issue is simple here. Biden is just not a competent President and never will be. Nothing he has done has even been mildly successful, he does not have the charisma or personality to overcome his failures, and ultimately he is not someone who is going "learn on the job" and get better. We've all seen who Joe Biden is and it is pretty much going to be all downhill from here.

Even the Democrats are interested in the Afghanistan disaster
WASHINGTON—House and Senate negotiators on Tuesday unveiled a $778 billion defense-policy and budget bill that authorizes $25 billion more in military spending than requested by President Biden and creates a commission on the War in Afghanistan, three months after America’s longest war ended in a chaotic and bloody withdrawal.
The National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, includes pay raises for troops and money for military construction, ships and aircraft, and typically passes Congress with broad bipartisan support.
This year lawmakers agreed to make major changes to the military justice system, but scrapped plans to require women to register for the draft. The bill boosts military spending by about 5% over last year’s budget, exceeding Mr. Biden’s request of $752.9 billion for the Defense and Energy departments’ national security programs.
The House is expected to vote on the NDAA as soon as Tuesday night. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said he expects the Senate to pass it without amendments, sending it to the president’s desk for his signature.
The legislation would establish a 16-member, bipartisan commission to study U.S. involvement in Afghanistan from 2001-2021. Commissioners would be required to report to Congress on their progress annually, and to submit a report containing detailed findings, recommendations and lessons learned no later than three years after the panel’s first meeting. Current and former members of Congress since Jan. 3, 2001 are barred from serving on the commission, as are former cabinet members, four-star flag officers and senior Defense and State Department officials who had direct involvement in U.S. actions in Afghanistan.

Top Democrats and Republicans signaled Tuesday they had clinched a deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling, settling on a complicated legislative maneuver to help them stave off another high-stakes battle and prevent the U.S. government from experiencing a catastrophic default.
The apparent compromise arrived eight days before a critical fiscal deadline, averting what would have been another political and economic crisis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) secured adoption of the measure late Tuesday after a 222-212 vote. And Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) earlier in the day each expressed a measure of confidence that they had the votes to proceed with their plans.
The deal itself does not directly raise the debt ceiling but rather sets up a smoother process that allows Democrats in the narrowly divided Senate to accomplish the task without GOP support. The two sides had been at loggerheads over the issue for months, with Republicans refusing to lend their must-have votes to raise the borrowing cap, in protest of President Biden’s economic agenda.
Democrats decried Republicans’ stance, especially since the party provided the votes necessary to address the debt ceiling even when President Donald Trump pursued policies they disliked. In the end, though, GOP lawmakers in the Senate at least appeared poised to pave the way for Democrats to meet the fiscal deadline without risk of disruption or delay, potentially by raising the cap high enough to last through the 2022 midterms.

House Passes Workaround to Raise Debt Ceiling

“The House passed a bill Tuesday night to expedite a debt ceiling fix in the Senate, allowing Democrats to essentially raise the nation’s credit limit on their own and thwart a Christmastime default,” POLITICO REPORTS.
“The measure — which is the result of an 11th-hour accord between party leaders — tees up a new path for Congress to hike the nation’s borrowing ability, preventing the Treasury Department from running out of cash as soon as this month.”

New evidence could be a big problem for John Durham's attempt to vindicate Bill Barr's conspiracy theories

In September 2020, attorney and cybersecurity specialist Michael Sussmann was charged with lying to the FBI — an indictment that resulted from Special Counsel John H. Durham’s probe of the 2016 Russia investigation. Now, according to New York Times reporter Charlie Savage, Sussmann’s defense team is asking for the trial date to be set sooner than what the prosecution has requested.
And the team defending Sussman, who was part of a firm working for the Democratic Party in 2016, argued in the new filing that the case against him is even weaker than it initially appeared.
“Newly disclosed evidence” in the United States of America v. Michael A. Sussmann, according to Savage, could “make it harder for” Durham to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that” Sussmann is “guilty of the charge against him: making a false statement to the FBI during a September 2016 meeting about possible links between Donald J. Trump and Russia.”
Durham was essentially instructed by former Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate a series of conspiracy theories pushed by Trump and his allies about the FBI's investigation into him and several campaign members' ties to Russia. So far, he has mostly come up empty. Though the indictment of Sussman lists a long series of incidents meant to suggest Democrats were illicitly conspiring to turn the FBI against Trump in the summer of 2016, the only crime he actually charged was that Sussman allegedly falsely claimed that he wasn't representing any clients when he spoke to a representative of the bureau about research on a possible Trump-Russia connection.

The House Approves $778 Billion Defense Bill
December 7, 2021 at 10:47 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“The House voted Tuesday to approve a $778 billion defense-policy and budget bill that authorizes $25 billion more in defense spending than requested by President Biden and contains a provision to create a commission on the War in Afghanistan, three months after America’s longest war ended in a chaotic and bloody withdrawal.”
WE'LL SEE WHO REALLY FLUBBED UP THAT WAR.
The Republicans MAGA movement is going back to stay at home moms like when I was growing up in the late 50s into the mid seventies when more women joined the workforce.
Not only that is Democratic women of color and of course Mooslimb.
Women in Congress feel besieged and singled-out amid surging threats against lawmakers at all levels, with some frustrated more hasn't been done to halt the trend.
Why it matters: As record numbers of American women are being elected to public office, their growing political power is being met with death and rape threats, sexist and racist abuse and online disinformation. Collectively, it's discouraged women from running for office.
The recent salvos against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are just the latest example.The district office of Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) was burglarized and vandalized last week— an incident she condemned with the support of Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.).Dingell told Axios the assailant took a paddle and "smashed" her late husband's memorabilia. "I'm not going to let this son-of-a-bitch that was in my office think ... they're gonna get me to back down on anything I'm doing."
Female politicians face more personal online attacks than their male counterparts, researchers have found, and it's worse if they're also from racial, ethnic, religious or other minority groups.
Capitol Police chief Thomas Manger told the Associated Press in September he expects his department will log 9,000 threats against all members by the end of the year, nearly double the 4,894 threats received in 2018.One female member of the Senate told Axios, "I try not to think about it."
What they're saying:
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) told Axios her office received "a tremendous number of very vile calls and voicemails" after her tough questioning of then-Attorney General William Barr in July 2020. "They were misogynistic over and over again. They were vile, vulgar."She added that her staff — often younger women — had to play these messages repeatedly as they transcribed them to report them to the authorities."We have a problem with the language and the idle, embracing of violence and threats and saying awful things to one another," Dean said. "And that didn't happen or start with January 6th."
Some female lawmakers see race and gender as a clear determinant of the severity and volume of threats.
"For people like Ilhan Omar, being a black woman in America, she already has a target on her back that's different than a lot of the people here in Congress," Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) told Axios.Omar, Bush noted, also is Muslim and wears a hijab, which, she said, adds "another target" to her back. "I know what I receive, and I'm not Muslim and I don't wear a hijab. So, I cannot imagine what she gets."Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), who said she's gotten "graphic death threats," said she feels very strongly that action must be taken in response to the threats against Omar.She, too, said she sees them as part of a broader pattern of threats against women of color.
And Scott has SJDS Syndrome every day. Polling and again Sleepy Joe Biden and unfit for the job.
He thinks that a reality show President is better qualified than a politician with almost 40 years of experience.

House Approves $778 Billion Defense Bill

Even the President will allow an investigation into the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
The conservative addiction to conspiracy theories has been evident throughout the history of the last seventy plus years.
If Dole were Senate Minority Leader today, I suspect his approach would be basically the same as Mitch McConnell’s. Maybe McConnell will cease to be treated as an ogre when he dies. Maybe not.
My point, though, is the mainstream media’s serial demonization of Republicans who stand in the way of its liberal agenda. When Ronald Reagan had power, he was a right-wing zealot and menace to world peace. When George W. Bush had power, he was the evil stooge of the even more evil Dick Cheney. When it looked like Mitt Romney might get power, he was a callous, out-of-touch serial destroyer of jobs and wrecker of lives.
Even Dwight Eisenhower was a victim of media defamation. The media couldn’t demonize Ike because he was the hero of World War II. So instead, it portrayed him as a bumbler — a rube. Eisenhower was anything but, as virtually everyone now agrees, but the image suited the liberal media’s purposes.
To the mainstream media, it seems that the only good Republican is a dead Republican.– or at least a Republican without power and the chance of obtaining it.

Putin would be foolish. It would be as bad as our Afghanistan war, except that the Ukraine military is stronger.
Putin in the first days would face a messy war in Ukraine itself. Ukraine’s military isn’t a match for Russia’s, but it’s a lot more potent than the military he faced when he seized Crimea in 2014. Ukraine has better training, equipment, electronic-warfare skills and battlefield experience than before.
Putin, strangely, has abandoned the stealthy approach that worked for him in 2014. By massing nearly 100,000 troops on the border, he disdained the gray-zone tactics of hybrid war — the “green men” that swiftly seized key targets in Crimea. He can’t play this hybrid game now because U.S. intelligence has outed his secret plans for a full-scale war.
Ukraine also has an aggressive military intelligence service, commanded by Brig. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov. He planned a bold sting operation last year to capture Russian mercenaries who had fought inside Ukraine. Though it failed, it was a taste of what Ukrainian covert operators could do in a real conflict.
Beyond the battle against uniformed troops and intelligence operatives, Putin would probably face a prolonged guerrilla war from Ukrainian militias. Knowledgeable sources estimate that more than 400,000 pro-Kyiv Ukrainians have received at least some training since Russia’s 2014 incursion, and that there are at least 1 million weapons in private hands, including AK-47s and other automatic weapons looted from government stores. As many as 15 militia groups are spread throughout the country — some virulently right-wing, but all capable of causing havoc for Moscow (and probably Kyiv, too).
“Beyond the response from the U.S. and allies, the Ukrainians will fight fiercely,” says William B. Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Kyiv. He predicts “guerrilla war for sure if the Russians invade and try to stay.”
Putin would face immediate battlefield risks, but the longer-term consequences could be far worse, even if he installed a government subservient to Moscow. If Biden followed through on his threats, Russia’s economy would be wrecked. Never strong under Putin, it would become feeble as a united Europe and the United States imposed sanctions that sources tell me might include cutting Russia off from the SWIFT system of international payments — literally turning it into a pariah state.
A Russia that went to war in Ukraine would have only China as a reliable ally. That might console Putin, but it should panic Chinese President Xi Jinping. The China-Russia axis would cement a “decoupled” world in which the United States and the technologically advanced democracies would have a huge, and probably lasting, advantage over Moscow and Beijing.
And, finally, there is the X-factor: the danger that a war in Ukraine would blow back into Russia and Belarus. Polls conducted by the Levada Center in Moscow show that Putin’s campaign to suppress Ukraine doesn’t appear to have majority support in Russia. As the casualties mounted, so would the political pressure on Putin and his authoritarian friends.
Going into Tuesday’s virtual summit, many commentators saw Putin in the driver’s seat against a weakened United States. Biden has his problems, but Putin would be very foolish if he imagined that a Ukraine war would be a cakewalk.
Biden is unpopular, he’s incompetent and he’s desperate. More than anything, Joe Biden is weak. He’s a pawn of his staff and the hard-eyed ideologues who surround him.
So Cocaine Mitch gave Schumer and the democrats the rope with which they'll hang themselves over the debt ceiling.
Excellent.
The GOP mid-term ads just write themselves, providing the GOP with the ability to run on the fact that the democrats raised the debt ceiling all by their lonesome selves.
LOL.
I love it.
Mitch: "Sure Chuck. Go ahead and raise the fucker. Raise it some more. We'll just sit waaaaay over here and watch."
LMAO.
Meanwhile, at the white house: "Look! Look at Putin's feet! They're MOVING! Twitching even! We've got him right where we want him!"
And President '81 MILLION VOTES' sits in a depends saturated with his own runny shit struggling to keep his poll numbers above 30%.
Dr. Seuss:
"Now pay attention boys and girls. What you are witnessing is the worst president you will ever see, even if you live to be one hundred, and three."
And while Putin is toying with Slow Joe over Ukraine, his US propaganda arm is putting out reports like this:
A Los Angeles police detective is warning tourists to stay clear of the city, saying that they will be unsafe, and comparing conditions to the horror movie ‘The Purge.’
“We’re telling people don’t visit because we don’t think we can keep you safe right now,” Los Angeles Police Department detective Jamie McBride told Fox News on Monday.
The city, he added, is like the movie ‘The Purge,’ a popular horror film set in a US where crime is legal for a set period of time every calendar year. The difference between the movie and the city, however, is that in Los Angeles, criminals have 365 days to run riot, McBride said.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming - Putin doing donuts on the shite house lawn - already in progress.
LOL.
"I believe we've reached here a solution to the debt ceiling issue that's consistent with Republican views of raising the debt ceiling for this amount at this particular time and allows the Democrats to proudly own it," said McConnell, adding that there will be a vote on Thursday.

Outcome of Biden-Putin Summit Unclear

“It is too early to tell whether the much-anticipated conversation, whose details were hard to elicit as both the White House and the Kremlin put their spin on it, will alleviate the immediate crisis in Ukraine, where roughly 70,000 Russian troops have massed, with more equipment and personnel arriving every day.
“Mr. Putin gave no indication of his ultimate intent, leaving the world guessing whether he was actually planning an invasion early next year, or trying to get the West to pay attention to his demands by manufacturing a crisis.”
Unlike Trump, Biden doesn't play kissy kissy with Putin.

Is this the revenge of Four Seasons Landscaping?
That was the worn-down venue in Philadelphia where Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, launched the doomed effort to block Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election. The Giuliani group meant to book the Four Seasons hotel, but somebody goofed and Giuliani ended up spouting his familiar election lies in front of an industrial garage door plastered with Trump signs. The Trump effort to overturn the election never got any more professional than that.
Trump’s new media company, called the Trump Media & Technology Group, may suffer the same amateurish delusions. An “investor presentation” the company recently filed with the Securities and Exchange commission is provoking guffaws among business analysts, with laughable evasions and barely any business strategy. “It does feel like every public action by this company is designed to give the impression that it is a joke,” Bloomberg analyst Matt Levine wrote on Dec. 7.
The oddest part of the TMTG presentation is the “technology team” listed on Slide 21. The company has apparently filled 30 important jobs already, but it only lists these team members with a first name and last initial. The chief technology officer is “Josh A.” “Steve E.” is VP of engineering. One of the senior mobile developers is “BJ.” Are these real people or stand-ins?
We may never know: As a footnote explains: “personnel subject to change.”
Source: Securities and Exchange Commission
An all-star cast of anonynous heavyweights.
One key employee is very well known: Devin Nunes, the pro-Trump California Congressman who’s quitting his job in January to become CEO of TMTG, with Trump as chairman. Nunes has no business experience, except for fishy ties to a family farm. His social-media history is spotty. Nunes’ fealty to Trump spawned a parody account on Twitter called @DevinCow, prompting a lawsuit by Nunes, seeking to shut it down. He lost last year, and started urging his followers to join Parler, a conservative version of Twitter. But Parler would compete with Trump’s platform, if it ever materializes.
As a Republican, Nunes faces a tough re-election battle in a district that’s growing more liberal. So joining Trump’s company now may have been better than losing in 2022. But working for Trump has obvious risks, as the New Yorker pointed out in a piece of satire speculating that Trump will stiff Nunes as he has done with many contractors and investors in his years as a real-estate developer.
Maybe it's not satire.
The Trump company is a serious venture with real money at stake. TMTG has plans to merge with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, called Digital World Acquisition Corp., which has raised roughly $1 billion for the deal. Normally, a public company would disclose who its investors are, which DWAC will have to do at some point. For now, however, those investors are anonymous. Two hedge funds that invested in DWAC before knowing of the Trump merger pulled their money in October after news of the deal broke.
The TMTG-DWAC tie-up is already in a bit of trouble. Donald Trump met with Patrick Orlando, DWAC’s chief executive, early in 2021, before DWAC had raised money as a SPAC and gone public in a September offering. If they discussed the very deal that happened, that would violate the rules for SPACs, which aren’t supposed to have a specific target company in mind when they raise funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating and could issue fines or sanctions, or find no wrongdoing at all.
Assuming the merger goes through, it will allow DWAC investors to buy shares at a discount to the market price, then sell them right away, essentially guaranteeing a profit. But that isn’t necessarily good for the stock, or the company. Investors who want to cash out right away—and have negotiated the right to do so—have no stake in the prospects of the business itself. The investors might even think the real opportunity is cashing in on the initial hype, rather than longer-term profitability.
The TMTG investor presentation is vague about how exactly the company will make money. It points out that Trump’s following on Twitter before the platform banned him in 2020—89 million followers—is more than one-third of Netflix’s entire subscriber base, as if TMTG could rival Netflix out of the gate. But that’s apples and oranges. One account on Twitter—free to the account holder and followers alike—is nothing like a Netflix account in which users pay a monthly fee to access a deep library of content.
More questions than answers.
Other oddities abound. A forecast for the number of monetizable users—81 million by 2026—is based on a Morning Consult poll rather any internal analysis. Other forecasts, for subscriptions and revenue, are represented by question markets rather than the actual numbers (even if inflated) found in most business proposals. The “key advisor” whose logo appears on every page is EF Hutton. But this isn’t the storied brokerage firm. It’s a reboot of a brokerage named Kingswood Capital Markets that dates all they way to 2020 and recently bought rights to the EF Hutton name. Apparently the gambit worked.
Trump fancies himself a business icon, even though his current company is under investigation for fraud. His business history includes 6 bankruptcies and several thousand lawsuits. Trump’s real success came as a reality-show entertainer flacking a gilded lifestyle, not as a builder or dealmaker. His latest company may find a way to convert Trump’s jocular mendacity into steady profits, but it might also become little more than a Trump fan club that amuses outsiders who occasionally peek inside the fence.

Great news!
A booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine appears to provide strong protection against the omicron variant, the companies announced Wednesday.
They said lab study results show a third dose of their vaccine provides a similar level of neutralizing antibodies to omicron, comparable to two doses against the original coronavirus and other variants that have emerged.
Blood samples from those who received only the primary series of the vaccine, on average, did see a 25-fold drop in antibodies against the new variant. That may indicate that two doses of the vaccine may not be sufficient to protect against infection with omicron, the companies said.
As the highly mutated omicron variant, first identified in South Africa, spreads around the globe, scientists are racing to determine how the available vaccines will work against it.
What they're saying: "Sera from individuals who received two doses of the current COVID-19 vaccine did exhibit, on average, more than a 25-fold reduction in neutralization titers against the Omicron variant compared to wild-type, indicating that two doses of BNT162b2 may not be sufficient to protect against infection with the Omicron variant," Pfizer and BioNTech said in a press release.
"A more robust protection may be achieved by a third dose as data from additional studies of the companies indicate that a booster with the current COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech increases the antibody titers by 25-fold," they added.Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said lab results suggested that two doses of its vaccine still offer protection against severe disease caused by the Omicron strain.The companies said they are confident they could begin producing a vaccine specifically tailored to neutralize the Omicron variant in March 2022 if needed.
The big picture: The lab result comes as the Biden administration is attempting to increase booster uptake to head off the Omicron variant.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its recommendation for booster shots late last month, saying everyone 18 and older now "should" receive a booster dose.

DO YOU WONDER WHAT JESUS WOULD THINK?
God that was a successful troll. (And liberals are really that stupid)
"A more robust protection may be achieved by a third dose as data from additional studies of the companies indicate that a booster with the current COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech increases the antibody titers by 25-fold," they added.Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said lab results suggested that two doses of its vaccine still offer protection against severe disease caused by the Omicron strain.The companies said they are confident they could begin producing a vaccine specifically tailored to neutralize the Omicron variant in March 2022 if needed.
The big picture: The lab result comes as the Biden administration is attempting to increase booster uptake to head off the Omicron variant.
Because they say that, the goat fucker will call it a socialist scam..

Roger, explain to us your theory of "Pent Up Demand"?
Given what Dennis posted:
"71% of Americans have a savings account.
Most Americans (22%) have$1,000 to$5,000 in savings.
56% of Americans have$5,000 or less in savings,while a third have$1,000 or less."
I quote Roger only to show how dumb he is.
RINO Mitch McConnell!!!
Here’s how Mitch McConnell outsmarted Trump — even though it created a major rift in the GOP
Bob Brigham
December 08, 2021
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has ignored complaints from Donald Trump and reached a deal with Democrats to extend the debt ceiling and avoid a government shutdown.
"We’re seeing some pretty significant fissures inside the Senate Republican Conference over the debt-limit strategy," Punchbowl News reported Wednesday. "Some of the "no" votes tell us that Republicans already helped Democrats raise the debt limit once and they shouldn't do it again."
Punchbowl noted the position of three Senate Republicans who are seen as hopefuls to be the next GOP leader. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) and Sen. John Cornyn are both backing McConnell's deal, while Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), the chair of the Senate GOP Conference, remains undecided.
"But there was “a lot of pushback” in the GOP Conference meeting on Tuesday where McConnell laid out the plan, according to Republicans sources. Sens. Richard Shelby (R-AL), Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) -- normally “safe” leadership allies -- all raised concerns, as did more hardline conservatives," Punchbowl reported. "Some Republicans seem to be struggling with voting no because the debt-limit process bill also includes language to delay Medicare sequestration cuts. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a hardliner who one would expect to be against any debt-limit increase, questioned why any Republicans would vote against the measure."

Punchbowl said the deal "seems to be sailing through the Congress quite easily."
But Trump is not on board, issuing a statement on Tuesday complaining about the "pathetic" strategy of Senate Republicans.
"USE THE DEBT CEILING TO WIN, AND MEAN IT THIS TIME!" Trump said, in all capital letters.
Republican senators have repeatedly sided with McConnell over Trump when the former president has demanded particular votes.
In October, Trump also tried to kill a debt limit increase.
Did you see the picture? They were celebrating gun violence..
Yes, paper targets all over the land are not safe from these marauding blasters.
I saw a picture of the 2A being fully utilized.

Friend,
Have you noticed that the Radical Left is now admitting I was right about everything they LIED about before the Election?
Hydroxychloroquine works.
The China Virus came from a Chinese lab.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was real.
Lafayette Square was not cleared for a photo op.
The “Russian Bounties” story was fake.
We did produce vaccines before the end of 2020, in record time I might add.
Blue state lockdowns didn’t work.
Schools should be opened.
Critical Race Theory is a disaster for our schools and our Country.
Our Southern Border security program was unprecedentedly successful.
The media and their Democrat partners spent YEARS lying about me to the American People and it turns out I was RIGHT all along. I’ve received NO apologies, NO retractions, nothing.
I know YOU always believed in me and will ALWAYS stand with me, which is why I’m calling on you now to step up and publicly show your support.

Wisconsin Conservative Group Finds No Fraud
December 8, 2021 at 9:43 am EST By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments
Forbes: “A 10-month-long review of Wisconsin’s 2020 election conducted by a conservative group in the state found no signs of widespread or significant election fraud, according to a new report of its findings, further disproving continued baseless allegations of election fraud as the battleground state undergoes a contentious partisan election audit.”

Here's a sneak preview of the column I intend to submit to our local paper, scheduled for the Friday before Christmas. (You don't have to thank me.)
From the pulpit
James Boswell
Sick and tired of the news, and wanting to get away from all politics, I turn this season to the Christmas story for relief. Surely in the gospels’ legendary but theologically beautiful and captivating stories of the first Christmas I can get away from the heated language and political infighting and strong, divisive language that is so rampant in America today. Surely I can there find relief from the incessant demand that I must align my thinking with the thinking of either the Republicans or of the Democrats.
And so I turn to the lectionary scriptures for this coming Sunday and there I find a text in which the author of the Gospel of Luke tries to imagine what Mary, the mother of Jesus, must have said prophetically about him. And I find this:
"[God my Savior] has shown great strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.”
Oh no! I tell myself. Doesn’t this scripture challenge me to side either with the thinking of the Republicans or with the thinking of the Democrats? Doesn’t it challenge me to side with the political party that is most committed to “bringing down” the powerful, the millionaires and billionaires, from their “thrones,” their positions of greedy dominance? Doesn’t it challenge me to side with that party which is most committed to “sending the rich away empty” and “lifting up the lowly” and “filling the hungry with good things”?
Politics just won’t leave us alone, will they? They follow us right into the Christmas story, right into the notion of a low-born baby who as an adult cared for the poor and criticized the wealthy for their greed, who taught that we should never make the mistake of thinking that life consists in the abundance of our possessions, but that we should always strive to love and serve God rather than love and serve money, and should care even for the least of people, no matter who they are.

This is the best news for Americans in recent history.
“Pfizer and BioNTech said Wednesday that laboratory tests suggest that three doses of their coronavirus vaccine offer significant protection against the fast-spreading Omicron variant of the virus,” the New York Times reports.
“The companies said that tests of blood from individuals who received only two doses found more than a 25-fold reduction in antibody levels against the Omicron variant compared to an earlier version of the virus. That finding indicates that two doses alone ‘may not be sufficient to protect against infection’ by the new variant.”
“But the blood samples obtained from people one month after they had received a booster shot showed neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant comparable to the levels of antibodies against a previous version of the virus after two doses.”
“Our preliminary, first data set indicate that a third dose could still offer a sufficient level of protection from disease of any severity caused by the Omicron variant,” said Dr. Ugur Sahin, the chief executive officer of BioNTech, Pfizer’s German partner.
The results come one day after a preliminary report on laboratory experiments in South Africa found Omicron seemed to dull the power of Pfizer’s vaccine. Those experiments also hinted that people who have received a booster shot might be better protected.
The Omicron variant has now spread to dozens of countries, and while the Delta variant is still overwhelmingly dominant in the United States, the Biden administration is bracing for Omicron’s impact.
In an interview last week, Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and chief executive officer, said the company began developing a version of its vaccine specifically targeting Omicron on the day after Thanksgiving. Moderna is on the same path.
If a different version of the vaccine turns out to be needed, Dr. Bourla said, Pfizer could produce it within 95 days.
“We will be able to switch overnight production,” he said. “There’s not going to be a need to start producing new machinery, new equipment, new formulations.” He added: “We will be able to produce nearly the same number of doses as our current vaccine.”
He said that since the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine first emerged, Pfizer has developed two other prototypes in response to new variants. Neither proved necessary, he said, because the original vaccine worked against the virus’s mutations.
At a White House briefing Tuesday, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said it would still be weeks before scientists understand how virulent the Omicron variant is.
“We shouldn’t be making any definitive conclusions, certainly not before the next couple of weeks,” he said.
He said early reports from South African medical officials presented a somewhat hopeful picture of Omicron’s impact. Researchers at a major hospital complex in Pretoria reported this week that patients with the coronavirus are significantly less ill than those they have treated before, and that other hospitals are seeing the same trends.
“We are not seeing a very severe profile of disease,” Dr. Fauci said, adding that hospital stays were shorter and patients required less oxygen. “It might be, and I underscore might, be less severe, as shown by the ratio of hospitalizations per number of new cases.”

WASHINGTON — No modern former president has ever played a heavier hand in his party’s primaries after leaving office than Donald Trump has.
And no one — as a result — has more at stake if his side ends up winning or losing.
The latest example of Trump’s heavy hand: Georgia’s new gubernatorial showdown between incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp and former Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., where Trump immediately endorsed Perdue after getting into the race on Monday.
Here are — by date — the top 5 Trump-fueled GOP primaries for Senate, governor and House that we’ll be following in 2022:
North Carolina Senate (March 8)
Trump has already endorsed Rep. Ted Budd over former Gov. Pat McCrory in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr. And Politico reported over the weekend that Trump brokered a deal to get Rep. Mark Walker to end his Senate bid to clear the field for Budd.
Meanwhile, Club for Growth Action is out with a new TV ad hammering McCrory: “Pat McCrory called Romney ‘a man of incredible courage.’ But on Trump: ‘Donald Trump is destroying democracy.’”
(By the way, when McCrory praised Romney as a “man of incredible courage,” he said that in 2012 when Romney was the GOP’s presidential nominee, and we also remember Trump endorsing Romney as well back then.)
Alabama Senate (May 24)
Trump has endorsed Rep. Mo Brooks, who spoke at that Jan. 6 rally, in the contest to succeed retiring Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.
Shelby, however, is reportedly dishing out $5 million from his campaign funds to boost Katie Britt, his former chief of staff.
Georgia Governor (May 24)
The aforementioned Kemp-vs.-Perdue primary appears to be hinging on just one issue: Kemp upholding President Biden’s 2020 win in Georgia.
“Unfortunately, today, we are divided, and Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger are to blame,” Perdue said in his video announcement. “Instead of protecting our elections, [Kemp] caved to [Stacey] Abrams and cost us two Senate seats.”
What Perdue didn’t mention: He was one of the two Republicans who lost those Senate seats.
What he also didn’t mention: Who was the legitimate winner in 2020.
The GOP primary for secretary of state also is going to fascinating to watch.
Wyoming at-large (Aug. 16)
This primary has to be the most personal for Trump. It features Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. — who voted for Trump’s impeachment and who is serving on the House’s Jan. 6 committee — and the Trump-backed Harriet Hageman.
After Hageman got into the race and was endorsed by Trump, Cheney tweeted: “Bring it.”

True Conservatives Must Oppose the GOP
December 8, 2021 at 9:20 am EST By Taegan Goddard 209 Comments
David Brooks:
“What passes for ‘conservatism’ now, however, is nearly the opposite of the Burkean conservatism I encountered then. Today, what passes for the worldview of ‘the right’ is a set of resentful animosities, a partisan attachment to Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson, a sort of mental brutalism. The rich philosophical perspective that dazzled me then has been reduced to Fox News and voter suppression.
“I recently went back and reread the yellowing conservatism books that I have lugged around with me over the decades. I wondered whether I’d be embarrassed or ashamed of them, knowing what conservatism has devolved into.
"I have to tell you that I wasn’t embarrassed; I was enthralled all over again, and I came away thinking that conservatism is truer and more profound than ever—and that to be a conservative today, you have to oppose much of what the Republican Party has come to stand for.”

“We are going to take power after this next election. When we do, it’s not going to be the days of Paul Ryan, and Trey Gowdy, and no real oversight, and no real subpoenas. It’s going to be the days of Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Dr. Gosar, and myself.”

In the SoCo Strategies poll conducted to gauge the impact of Trump endorsements, Cheney is 18-points behind Trump-backed Harriet Hageman.
I think Cheney was in trouble before Donald Trump endorsed her opponent. It wasn't enough for her to merely dislike Trump, she had to cross the aisle to vote for a specious impeachment, and then she volunteer to be Nancy Pelosi handpick token Republican for the Jan 6 committee.
Given her the veneer of bi-partisanship.
No wonder Republicans are mad at her.
Our preliminary, first data set indicate that a third dose could still offer a sufficient level of protection from disease of any severity caused by the Omicron variant,” said Dr. Ugur Sahin, the chief executive officer of BioNTech, Pfizer’s German partner.
Of course they would say that, Pfizer stands to make a lot of money off a booster (or two).
