Biden bows to Putin and removes Trump era sanctions intended to block the completion of NordStream2 from Russia to Germany. And in the process also hangs Ukraine out to dry. So who's the Russian asset now?

You should check out Fox Networks "Let's Be Real" which airs on Thursday's at 8:30 PM ET. It is pretty funny and violates almost all the "values" of woke-ism and virtual signalling. Appears to have no specific axe to grind or any agenda. The opening episode featured Gov. Coumo encouraging everyone to flatten the curve of sexual harassment instances by following the social distancing rule of maintaining a 6 foot distance between them and the Governor. Also a skit about Trump on Antiques Roadshow trying to pawn all the stuff he heisted from the White House when he left. I did test-drive on a few new comedies that attempted to blend the woke lifestyle with comedy and despite having some good actors in the cast they turned out to be total flops. Like Mr. Mayor. Woke comedy. A contradiction in terms and something that cannot exist in the natural world.

Frankly I trust the CDC a lot more than I trust Fauci. In fact I don't trust him at all. What I do know of him, his comments, and his associations leads me to conclude he has a lot of conflicting interests when it comes to this outbreak. One important thing to be cognizant of is he's more of an "administrator" than he is a "doctor". I've warmed up to the new CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky. She appears to be a straight-shooter with a good grasp of the sciences, data, and statistics behind COVID. Her answers and comments around vaccinated and the un-vaccinated along with the current comments on mask rules appear logical. And the CDC has been very transparent and forthcoming on all the stats and numbers relevant to the virus which are available for anyone to review and reach their own conclusions. I especially like this heat map of underlying conditions and risk. It paints a very informative picture. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#underlying-med-conditions

Now if the evil one who's name shall not be spoken had made this decision? Well we can imagine the level of outrage and calls for investigations and perhaps another impeachment show trial. At a minimum hearings held by Rep. Schiff's committee with lots of cameras and drama along with all the major networks featuring the story 24/7. But as it was JB making the call here the event will be relegated to the back page while social media censors block and delete any negative comments about removing the sanctions. As the pipeline is about 95% complete it was obvious the sanctions were not going to stop the project from going operational. And Germany was adamant that this project be completed. So removing the sanctions make sense from the view that the US is giving its "consent" for the project to be completed rather than looking like a failure when it competes and the sanctions are seen as ineffective. The other thing in play here is how it will impact the balance of power and events in Ukraine where all the revenue the country sees via gas transit fees may soon disappear. It provides the Russians a bit more leverage over the situation by providing a mechanism to divert that gas flow and still get it to its customer in Western Europe. I suspect one of the assurances the US (under both Trump & Biden) gave the Kiev government in return for their obedience with the US agenda here was that the administration would block NordStream2. This is obviously off the table now and perhaps the Ukraine government will begin the question the US strategy which puts them in the firing line? So Putin 2, Biden 0 here.

Yes, "The Commission" welcomes all political views as long as you think everyone is guilty.

Sure, why waste a good opportunity to criminalize political descent to the DQC Gestapo. I'll make a bold prediction here. Nobody is going to serve any serious jail time when it all gets aired in court. The government is afraid to release any official videos of events inside and outside the Capitol because they don't support their case. I'm sure they're try every trick in the book to suppress and withhold all of it. Even invoking the granddaddy of all excuse, threats to national security! But keep believing the conspiracy theory and talking points that an unarmed and unorganized group of "radicals" were attempted to overthrow the government of the United States. The most powerful single force on the planet in all of recorded history. Without any of the necessary elements in place to pull it off. They didn't even have the forces necessary to take over and hold the local Mall down the road from me. Simply hilarious. Do you guys really believe this crap or are you just yanking my chain?

There's really no need for any commission because the conclusions of the "investigation" are already per-determined by politics rather than law. They will accept, process, and utilize any evidence or opinions supporting their position and ignore or suppress anything that doesn't. I expect a draft of the "final" report is already written. That's how government works. A committee gives their masquerade an air of legitimacy. We all know that so why pretend? No matter what political view is prevalent at the time makes no difference. its always this way. This will be no different. So it ain't so..

So absent US arms sales and aid to Israel, they would be sourcing their weapons purchases from Russia, or China, or Switzerland, or home industries? All kinds of hardware but most critical IDF fighter jets and support?

There's plenty the President can do. But none of them of either political party will ever do it. He could freeze arms sales and assistance to Israel and Saudi Arabia to convince them to use their influence and control to bring all the parties to the table to reach some kind of amiable "peace" plan for co-existence. He could exert his influence on the Israeli PM and government to stop ultra-right wing Orthodox Jewish "settlers" from confiscating and encroaching on traditional Arab neighborhoods. He could pull our troops out of Syria and Iraq. He could reach a genuine agreement with Iran (an adversarial relationship since the 1950's US engineered coup) and respect their sovereignty in exchange for their adherence to standards of behavior consistent with the international community. He could recommend Turkey be expelled from NATO and reprimand Erdogan for supporting ISIS terrorist and other extremists and he could support democratic forces within the country that face persecution and imprisonment. He could engage the Lebanese government to begin the process of extracted Hezbollah from the country. He could eliminate US assistance to the Saudi's in their fight against rebel forces in Yemen. I could go on for a lot longer. But the fundamental problem is US Middle East strategy is to maintain chaos. And then be mostly silent about it when hostilities break out like they are right now.

I think defeating China can be more effectively achieved by enacting a more cooperative view of international relations than would be taking China on head-to-head in some competitive effort which would hopefully not include direct military conflict. The problem I see is a very belligerent attitude in US foreign policy since around 9/11. Rather than cooperation and mutual benefit US policy is based on sanctions, unilateral decisions, and expectations that every other country will fall in line and be obedient and compliant to US policy objectives. The NordStream2 natural gas pipeline is an example. Both the German government and business interests support the project to bring gas into Germany and Europe from Russia. But because of US strategy to isolate Russia from Europe our "allies" are being forced to oppose the project and if not subject to sanctions. In essence forcing Europeans to defer their interests to US interests. This do as we say or else policy is at the core of US foreign policy. It is driving potential and current allies further away. It is counterproductive to the task of taking on China in a competitive framework. In order to be successful in "boxing in" China and imposing some level of control it is necessary to modify this approach and treat allies as partners. Not as vassal states to rule over and dictate all terms and conditions of the relationship. Sadly, I doubt anyone in Washington, in a position of power, in either major political party has either the vision or desire to make the changes necessary to make any of this happen.

Ambassador or not the administration's apparent unwavering support for Israel and its desire to rekindle the nuclear deal with Iran are simply incompatible. The Israeli government has clearly stated a nuclear Iran is not acceptable under any circumstances and they view any re-establishment of the nuclear deal exited by the Trump administration to be a threat that must be addressed. And Iran views Israel as a enemy which it cannot negotiate or compromise with under any circumstances.

I have a conflicted view of AOC. I like her and I don't like her. But I think what's more important than what she says and does is what she doesn't say and doesn't do. If AOC is serious about her positions on Israel and the Middle East she would introduce legislation on the House floor this morning to impose sanctions on businesses and individuals doing business with Israel, stop all financial aid, stop intelligence sharing and military and economic cooperation, ban entry and exit to the US of Israeli citizens. You know express displeasure with stuff they do against countries like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela that don't play ball by the US rules. But she isn't going to do that. That's not her real function. She will certainly not attack her party leadership, Biden, Pelosi, Schummer, and others that have expressed unwavering support for Israel. No matter what they do. Its the moment of truth for her. So walk the talk or shut up. Odds are she folds like a cheap suit here.

You're response here. Got to tell you. Not your best work. Maybe you're feeling a little tired from weekend socialist camp where the lefties, SJW's, and hard core virtue signalers spend their time reading and discussing quotes from the Communist Manifesto or playing the ever popular "guess my pronouns" game. I suspect you'll be back to yourself come tomorrow morning. Given the senseless rebuttals I've gotten here I'm thinking of starting a new topic, titled "What makes liberals happy other than trying to impose their intellectually and morally superior views on everybody else?" I really can't think of anything else that makes these complete buzzkills happy.

Oh, it's all there for sure. You just can't bring yourself to admit it. But its definitely there. And I do feel good today but that doesn't have anything to do with leftist neurotics that are afraid of life.

Without Trump hard-core leftists are finding it difficult to piss and moan about how terrible everything is in the country. They need counseling or some strong anti-depressants. Like a jilted lover that keeps driving by their ex's residence they just can't let go. And now with the CDC issuing guidelines on mask mandates that recommend loosening the requirements they are losing a huge symbol of virtue signalling, the mask. It will soon be impossible for them to tell the difference between mask-resisting Trump supporters and vaccinated citizens. This has them panicking. I've been watching discussions on the usual liberal media outlets about the recommendations and its comical. But, but, but, but, but, how will everyone be safe! By getting vaccinated or generating antibodies from previous COVID infection or being in a low risk group, that's how..

When they are forced to because the rest of the world has had enough of taking paper IOU's in exchange for providing real goods and services for American's to consume which results in the dollar losing its status as reserve and trade settlement currency. its share is already eroding. The dollar quickly plunges against other currencies, gold, crypto, hard assets like land, and we all suffer a serious decline in our standard of living with the exception of the wealthy that are already hedged for such an event. Guys like Bill Gates who is the biggest private owner of farmland in the U.S.

Because they're idiots.

Because the corporate financial institutions have been pushing for carbon taxes credits for year's so they can create and run trading markets and make a bundle of cash off the idea of buying and selling carbon credits. They've been on the financial networks discussing the idea and they're drooling out of their mouths with excitement over the chance for this to happen. And globalists love the idea because it provides them another vehicle for un-elected and unaccountable of control over sovereign nations and their citizens. Governments and bureaucrats love it because more taxes means more programs and more power. The 99.9% that comprise working people and the ordinary citizens of the world get to pay more taxes that suck more money out of their pockets and pollution levels remain the same.

Send community activists, diversity trainers, and critical race theorists out to the street gangs and drug cartels to demand they turn in all the weapons. Now that would be permanent cancel culture. LOL!!

You need to let go of this Trump obsession. Your failure to move on here leads me to believe you might be secretly in love with this goofball. After all you bring him up in all your posts. Face the truth, he's gone now. Maybe get some grief counseling or something?

Here's my problem with all these pronouncements. And what's more important than what they're saying is what they're not saying. Taking this last piece of the article, "it was necessary to keep wearing masks in crowds, when people are near others whose vaccination status they don't know". So I got the Moderna vaccine and I am puzzled why the vaccination status of strangers matters to me? Because the premise behind getting vaccinated against COVID is to not get sick from the COVID virus. So even if there are un-vaccinated or COVID positive people in "the crowd" if the vaccine works I should not get infected. So why should I care about the vaccination status of everyone in the crowd as long as I know I am protected? I've done everything I can to make sure myself and everyone I have a responsibility for is protected to the best of my ability. I've done my part here. If others choose not to do that then that's the risk they take and that's their decision. Free will and the right to choose. I'm not responsible for them and its not my concern. So what are these epidemiologists implying here? Are they saying the vaccines do not work? Are they saying I can still carry and incubate the virus in my system even if I am vaccinated and have antibodies in my system that stop the virus from replicating? Does the vaccine actually stop the virus from replicating or does it simply stop it from producing any of the symptoms of the infection? We need more information than just opinions, conclusions, and recommendations of epidemiologists. We need the details on the facts and the information they're using to reach their conclusions.

There is a known association between the NIH and the Wuhan lab where the virus is suspected of escaping containment. Some $3+M contract funding of some undisclosed gain of function viral research. At a lab where bat research with viruses is known and documented. The deal run through some 3rd party, a firm called EcoHealth. Which coincidentally was hired by WHO to investigate practices at the lab. Guess what they found? The potential for a variant of coronavirus to escape the lab, which has been sited by inspectors for lax procedures, is not some far fetched "conspiracy" but rather a conclusion that is backed by a lot of facts, associations, and fingerprints of the virus itself. This is not a new conclusion. Several viral experts came to a similar conclusion early last year but got shot down by the thought police at the time. Funny how all these censors and fact checkers know so much more about things than the actual people working in the field for their entire lifetimes. These conclusions were also based on the assessment it was a Powerball winning odds chance that the genetic makeup of the virus could have been some natural mutation that originated in Bats and jumped to humans. Helping to debunk the bat theory is that researchers have found the virus more effectively attaches to human cells than Bats. If it started in Bats the opposite would be expected. The belief that Fauci knows more than he says and is hiding something is not some far fetched unsupported conclusion.

Everything you mention is pure conjecture. There has never been one shred of evidence submitted or presented in any court of law in the US to validate any of these contentions. Mueller investigated this thing for over a year with a team of Trump-hating lawyers bound and determined to nail him to the wall and came up with absolutely nothing that would support any formal charges. And intelligence community agencies opinions that "conclude" anything do not constitute proof. And signing private business deals is not proof of collusion in matters of State. Most of the views along the political spectrum are based on hearsay and speculative and planted stories backed by nothing. All of us, whatever our beliefs or views need to demand more.

Here's the thing. The government doesn't have much of a case on "insurrection" charges . They've got 1000's of hours of video that document all the events from every angle inside and outside but haven't released anything that supports their case against any of the defendants. They don't want the defense counsel to see them either. If the video evidence supported the charges we'd be seeing it all on the evening news and the media outlets 24/7. So the idea is to drag this out as long as possible to keep the "guilt by accusation" narrative in news cycle for all the usual reasons.

Not blaming Joe for any of these things since he's just a figurehead ruler, a puppet getting his strings pulled reading scripted answers off a teleprompter. A "moderate" put in front of the voters. He's no more making key decisions on policy and actions than the Queen of England is ruling the UK. As VP Harris is doing nothing much than taking a few meetings and standing by to break any tie votes in the Senate its a mystery who is really running the executive branch of our government. Expect things to get much worse as more items are added to your checklist.
