With the Dow adding 189 points today, still another record was set.
The market really likes what the Trump administration is doing while GOP is left out in the cold.
Of course, Putin wanted the mindless, incompetent Trump reelected.
This may become the case if we vote for the best as opposed to blindly voting for a party.Speaking only for myself, I WANT rational sane conservatives to have a good voice.
Emphasis on "GOOD" because I WANT rational and sane liberals to also have a good voice.
And I WANT both sides to argue, argue all day long if need be, but I WANT them to argue with respect and dignity, and to treat each other as people who do not see the other side as an enemy that doesn't deserve to survive but instead as "the loyal opposition"...like a friendly football rivalry.
But when they "hit the field", I want the winners to be the American people, not this or that political party.
If the American people do not win, then the teams are not doing their jobs properly.
For ANY of this to proceed, both parties MUST take an inward look and ask themselves if there are members who are not in the job for the American people but only for their own lust for power.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Don't listen to what they say...look at what they do.President Joe R. Biden, how refreshing that sounds. What a refreshing day. Our divisive, erratic, foolish, conspiratorial, narcissistic President is gone, replaced by a President who deeply wants to unite us. Barring ill-advised preconceived notions about President Biden, his task should be easy. We are all Americans.
That said, although I voted for Biden for obvious reasons, not unlike 81 million Americans who did the same, I am a conservative Independent. That's official. In CA, we have to declare our political posture. Until I was driven out by Trump, for over a quarter of a century I was a declared Republican. I voted for Biden, but I have some reservations concerning him, mostly having to do with taxation and spending.
I said all that because I want to be honest with readers. I want them to know where I am coming from.
Whether or not Biden will be a good President is obviously an open question, but I think he is a good man. He will do his best to unite us and adopt policies that benefit all Americans, while removing those policies that do us harm. He wants the United States to rejoin the community of nations, and the days of isolation and making unitary decisions that involve other nations, in particular our traditional allies, are over.
The European Union's top politician, Ursula von der Leyen, said it best. "After four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House."
For the first time in four years, there is optimism in America created by a popular President. 59% of Americans approve of Biden.
On day one, Trump's approval rating was 40%, and, although it went lower than that, it never got much higher. Thus the reason for American optimism.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Don't listen to what they say...look at what they do.
1. Biden...first day in office...job killer.
2. Next, he opened the border floodgates.
3. He authorized billions to be paid to Iran, ala Obama.
Of course, Putin wanted the mindless, incompetent Trump reelected.
The Times reports, "President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia authorized extensive efforts to hurt the candidacy of Joseph R. Biden Jr. during last year’s election, including by mounting covert operations to influence people close to former President Donald J. Trump, according to a declassified intelligence report released Tuesday.
Politico reports, "President Joe Biden on Tuesday warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin will “pay a price” in the wake of a new report from the U.S. intelligence community that concluded the Kremlin interfered in the 2020 White House race.
They are crazy in Texas.
Biden is doing quite well esp. with covid, considering the mess he was left to clean up with. He gets a B+ from me. His challenge will be the immigration mess.
I saw that Biden has pledged to give 14 million vaccinations to Canada and Mexico. Can anyone explain how that is a good idea?
1. We have only a small percentage of our own citizens inoculated. Why are we giving away doses that are not surplus.
2. Why are we giving them to anyone as opppsed to selling them. Neither country is destitute. They can both afford to pay their own health care needs.
Biden gets a big fat F on this issue
I appreciate the correction of the number and the explanation. It does raise the question of why are we buying medicine that isn'th approved for use and why we are giving it away.You are wrong in so many ways.
There is world-wide pandemic. It must be eradicated on a world-wide bases.
It involves four million, not 14 million.
It involves four million doses of AstraZeneca. That vaccine is not approved for use in the U.S.
Biden plans to send COVID shots to Mexico, Canada
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is planning to send a combined 4 million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Mexico and Canada in its first export of shots, the White House said Thursday. Press…www.abc27.com
