All good except for the fact the deal was negotiated by the Trump administration prior to leaving office so all Biden did was execute on the agreement already in place. So can you redirect the praise and credit to Trump and give credit where credit is due? When Hell freezes over I expect. With this I say a good night to all.

My beliefs align with personal freedom, respect for others, democracy, and a general civility and the rights of others to do the same. If you associate those qualities with fascism that says more about you than it says about me. How you could arrive at that conclusion is something I find curious. I guess that's your "go-to" move when cornered. And frankly, you are not communicating with me. You keep insisting on associating my views with some monolithic construct of the GOP. Which they are not. You are talking past what I say and refuse to directly address any questions I pose about your views as your responses generally are more about me and questioning my character rather than they are about the contents and message of my postings here.

If she was somebody with criminal record, resisting arrest, and engaging in a confrontation with police during a traffic stop in Minneapolis or many other cities we'd know the identity of the officer in a couple hours along with getting views of body cam footage. And the officer would be immediately suspended and the bringing of charges would automatically begin being investigated and considered by the local DA. Tell me I an wrong? Please tell me I'm wrong? And please no phony racist accusation crap to avoid giving an honest answer. Somebody be the first lefty to tell the truth today! Face the truth. Our government at all levels sucks ass..

First off its not my party. I'm a registered Democrat but they lost me over a decade ago when everything started morphing into the current extremest ideology. So please stop trying to slot me me into some preconceived category. You might want to consider the likelihood that you are the one that needs to assess fake news and getting gaslighted by the likes of CNN and MSNBC. As time goes on you might notice every narrative they've preached has proven false as more information gets out there. As I've stated a few times I am perplexed why people that consider themselves liberal are now worshiping at the alter of big government and monopolistic corporations? Traditionally liberals opposed government and the establishment and powerful corporations? Maybe that topic needs its own thread?

The liberal plot is to meld the oppressive powers of the State with big corporate entities. You look at Google, Facebook, Twitter. They are simply extensions of the intelligence gathering capabilities of the State. That's their primary function. They do it for our government, they do it for China too. Textbook definition of fascism. Genuine liberals distrust government and hate big corporations. These clowns are not liberals. But nice of you post some another dumb slogan and avoid commenting on anything I stated.

Correct. The idea some disorganized band of rioters without any capacity to hold or occupy or overthrow the government, with no logistical support from anywhere else, is frankly comical. Anyone that believes or pursues that narrative is at best a fool. Look how much trouble armed and violent rioters and anarchist had in attempting attacks on Federal facilities. Antifa forces sent wave after wave of their forces against the Federal Court House in Portland night after night and still couldn't take or destroy the facility. But the left wing fascists don't want to remember or compare any of that do they? Their game now is to play up the Capitol event and exploit it to the max. In order to use it as pretext for oppressing their political opposition through the passage of new "laws" criminalizing political descent. That's the objective and end game here. Gain more power and control. Law and order? They don't care about that as demonstrated by the number of nightly shootings and murders across the country. The fact everyone knows that's the goal and they still won't admit it demonstrates a high level of dishonesty.

The thing is the government has accumulated a lot of evidence including thousands of hours of video and has so far refused to release or share any of it with the public. So unless you or I were there to witness the events almost every conclusion or belief any of us hold about the Capitol on 1/6 is speculation. We still don't know the identity of the officer or the probable cause for the shooting of Ashli Babbitt like its some kind of State secret. Now the "big" find is Lego Capitol kits. What's next? White House Barbie playhouse? Is this supposed to "prove" conspiracy? Wow. And currently most suspects have been detained without bail held in confinement for simple charges like trespassing. And how can it be an insurrection without anyone actually being charged for insurrection? The words used more as a marketing slogan than a real criminal act. So to the Fed's. Tell us what you know. What are you afraid of? Even the most loyal supporters of big oppressive government and corporate media propaganda outlets must have a sense they're holding back here. Because its most likely the actual evidence of the day's events doesn't support either the pre-meditated planning scenarios or involvement with the previous administration. If it did you can be damn sure it would have been already leaked and plastered all over CNN and MSNBC 24/7. Here's what I think. The governments plan is to hold everybody in jail for forever waiting for various legal procedures to coerce the suspects to agree to reduced charges in exchange for guilty pleas and "statements" implicating specific officials even if they have to lie to get out of jail. The Fed's don't care if the suspects make stuff up as long as they make up and say the stuff the government wants them to say. As for public communication the governments using the "Mushroom" approach. Keep us in the dark and feed us bull crap. Like it or not I'd argue my theory is as good a theory as anyone else's given we're not being told anything.

Truth is the only color that matters is green. Most of what passes as social activism is just a money and power hustle with nothing much ever getting to the people in real need of help.

Maybe shining some light on the large international banks that hold and move lots of cash for the cartels would be productive. There are also suggestions government agencies like our own CIA being involved in the narco trade, specifically for the CIA in Afghanistan. Something to watch will be how Taliban control of Afghanistan impacts the countries heroin output which has risen to historical highs under US "control". Anyway you want to spin it my suspicion is this is a protected racket in every meaning of the word. Politicians, judges, prosecutors, bankers, cops, all kinds of people on the take. Perhaps a study of how countries like Singapore deal with the drug problem would provide some insights? Or how the Romans dealt with administrative corruption?

Yes, the left is more like Nazi's but they are completely consumed by symbolism and left/right ideologies to see it. Another way of saying that is they think its impossible for leftists to be Nazi's as they associate Nazi behavior with the right only. You missed a few: Preparing the stage for one-party rule. Attempting to criminalize political dissent. Encouraging citizens to snitch on each other. Mass surveillance and spying on citizens through Gestapo and SS type mechanisms with an upgrade in technology. Mass re-education of the population through "race" based ideologies. Trying to take away the guns of citizens so when they come after us we can't shoot them dead at our front door. I'd suggest the 2nd Amendment provides a unique and number one challenge for the "left" not present in other Western countries they are trying to subordinate.

Like people that supported the COVID Lab origin theory for over the past year and all got censored and de-platformed? And suddenly it all seems credible and all these social media sites are back peddling. Why are all the liberals that used to distrust the government and big corporations suddenly their biggest supporters and apologists? Can you explain please?

You can be sure the Chinese and Russian military leadership are laughing their asses off at this nonsense. The primary mission of the military is not to worry about and teach about historical racism. Or other social issues The primary mission is to kill people. And if you are not killing people they will be killing you. I'm happy not to be currently deployed anywhere. Our inept leadership has put a bullseye on the backs of our deployed troops around the world with this messaging. The problem the military faces in pushing this crap is the woke and social justice crowd just don't have what it takes to deploy into combat. I can't envision cry babies that run to safe spaces and become offended by a few careless words engaging in a fire fight or some combat operation. Their best option would be to immediately surrender their position and be taken prisoner by some benevolent opponent. Plus the idea the woke SJW's are going to put their life on the line for God and country is comical. And this is going to turn off soldiers of all races and backgrounds that do. If your goal is to destroy the most effective and efficient fighting force on the planet then mission accomplished.

I love it when I hear somebody say we found no signs of fraud or misconduct in the 2020 election. I'm not saying they're lying. I'm saying you can't find what you don't look for. Maybe you should pay attention to audit efforts in several states that the DNC unsuccessfully tried to block. And now the DOJ is trying their hand at it using some very shaky premise that somehow civil right laws are being violated. The courts will likely reject this argument. And uphold the States constitutional rights to perform these activities. So what's next? Burn down the warehouse where the ballots are stored? Wouldn't put it past them here. When people tend to moan and groan about what somebody else might be doing I like to focus on motive. Because people are lazy and if they can avoid doing something they will. It must have some significance to them to expend so much time and effort trying to block any audits. In this case to block and delay any audits at the State level. And what is the motivation here? It all comes down to the answer to the question, if there's nothing to find then why stop anybody from spending their time looking? When they come up empty it will make you look even better. Right?

I'm not sure what any of this means. But it seems to be a complicated way of thinking you think know what other people are thinking. Or projecting your thoughts onto someone else? Maybe its a lot easier to admit that in the year 2021 all this race theory stuff is a bunch of horse crap? And I might propose an alternative that we think about people as individuals with their own unique set of traits and characteristics to be judged solely on the basis of themselves and not stereotyping everyone into some rigid and structured group that shares a collective identity with common traits that are included and excluded without exception. If we all thought that way things like believing or not believing in CRT or its existence would be laughable topics. And our society would be better off and there would be a lot less conflict and more cooperation and civility. Maybe we all should agree that experiencing that existence would be a better place to live than were we are currently. And if we had any real leadership in the public or private sectors it might be possible. But we don't. The leaders we currently have seem evil and intent on hostility and divisiveness with a sole objective to enhance their own personal and professional power. And in my view anyone supporting them to this end is either complicit or a "useful idiot". That pretty much sums up my view on race and race theory.

I think that's a legitimate question. "If they aren't teaching CRT, then why is the union defending their "right" to teach CRT?" And as previous poster pointed out a teachers union organization stated their intent to teach CRT regardless of what or who objects. So logic would require us to either: 1) believe in the credibility of the story about the teachers organizations stance and admit CRT exists in the school system at some level or 2) raise questions about the credibility of the story and do some investigation to verify or refute its validity. The truth can't be both or neither.

The most incompetent President did pull off a coup. In 2020. He's in the White House now. Are you not paying attention?

But other districts are "teaching" cultural indoctrination. And maybe its a good thing that something is causing parents to pay more attention and hold school boards accountable? Especially in under-performing school districts where kids are just shuffled through the system without acquiring any basic skills.

But there's a major difference between teaching critical thinking skills and imposing a theory of social concepts through indoctrination training. Specifically, on school age children. And imposing it in unilateral way without communication or debate with interested parties like parents. And then frankly seeing proponents of the idea cop an attitude when questioned. They don't seem to be open to any critical thinking and examination of their ideas. Critical thinking seems to be one thing proponents don't want to see as questioning the ideology in their view is forbidden. My personal view is if we had a population of critical thinkers our society would dismiss this "theory" as non-scientific and non-factual opinion and subjectivity. I'm 100% certain that if some school board and teachers union somewhere decided to teach some fringe white supremist race theory that indoctrinates children in the belief that whites are inherently superior to blacks and other races the supporters of CRT would have a much different take on the teaching of "history" and your critical thinking angle would go right out the window. What we have here with CRT is plain and simple. Ideologists imposing their view on children and adults that may or may not be open to it all.

Now imagine the much better world we would be living in right now where our public debate and focus was centered on the concepts of value and uniqueness of each and every person treated as an individual rather than as some stereotypical member of some "group".

The Governor will soon issue an executive order banning all criminal activity. Problem solved.

As the administration made such a big deal about it I was wondering how did everyone spend their extra 16 cents from the cost drop of a 4th of July cookout 2020 vs 2021?

Do you get some sort of royalty payments every time you post these same pictures or copy/paste other people's tweets? I am beginning to think so because you do it a lot. Did you happen to see any "white supremacists" out and about over the weekend? I hear they are everywhere and a big danger to democracy! So be careful. LOL..

Weissman is an acknowledged Trump hater that spent over a year of his life proving absolutely nothing about the Trump campaign and Russian collusion. Mainly because the relationship between the campaign and the foreign government was non-existent. But then again they knew that from the beginning. And in the process he received some nice fat government checks via the taxpayer during this investigation. So the guys clearly got an ax to grind. While I'm not a big Trump fan I am still in awe and amazement of how people can "root" for the government when it comes to anything. And its mostly liberals that seem to get off on displays of government power against private citizens. Traditional liberals used to distrust and dislike the "establishment". I guess its a case now that they are the establishment and absolute power corrupts absolutely and your principals and ethics go out the window. That they still seem to believe they hold the moral high ground is testimony to the extent of their delusions.

Straying back to the main topic, 92 people shot in Chicago so far during the three day 4th of July weekend with 16 of those victims killed. NYC follows as a distant 2nd place with about 30 shot. No reports or video evidence of any White Supremist perps so far. We must remain vigilant as that's the biggest danger we face! Also, no deaths due to Climate Change have been reported yet.

That's not what saying and I could care less about the who or what about cap and trade. That's just a Wall Street hustle to monetize the carbon trade. Its not a solution to anything except the goal of keeping Wall Street bankers generously employed. And I'm not criticizing anyone's efforts. I'm just saying the popular solution isn't going to work and by the time the majority realizes this huge amounts of finite resources will be dumped down the rate hole. And the clock is ticking. As a society and civilization we need to come to grips with the idea our current living arrangements are not sustainable if there is a real desire to do anything about the environment, land use patterns, pushing out other species to extinction, cleaning up the oceans and the air. Taking our current arrangements and unplugging the system from hydrocarbons and plugging into renewable energy sources and continuing on our merry way isn't going to happen. When people talk about climate change they're really discussing two issues. The global warming concerns and the need to find an alternative to finite hydrocarbon resources. Conveniently the renewable energy movement checks all the boxes for both and joins a couple different political and social forces together. My contention is the solution will provide no solution to either problem. Like I said do the math. Take all the oil and gas energy consumed on a daily basis, identify the BTU output, and then calculate how many solar cells or wind turbines you'll need to replace all that output. Then identify the capital and resource materials and facilities to build all that generation capacity. When you derive the answers you'll get what I'm saying.
