With that simple sentence, Biden officially closed the book on the dominant economic theory of the last 40 years: That success by affluent people at the top of the economy would trickle down to the average American. It's been the theory behind every major tax cut pushed by Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan -- including Donald Trump's 2017 cut -- and is so closely associated with our 40th president that the economic idea is known colloquially as "Reaganomics."

Though Biden is rarely described as gifted orator, his speech was a remarkable performance in part because it didn’t soar and largely didn’t even try to. In plain-spoken language, he depicted a breathtakingly large agenda as plain common sense. Instead of imploring partisans to take sides, he projected bewilderment that any practical-minded person of any persuasion could be opposed.

Under a pose of guilelessness, Biden’s speech was in fact infused with political guile. The agenda he promoted to expand both free pre-school and community college, to subsidize the shift to a low-carbon economy, to fund a massive wave of new public works construction by taxing the very wealthy, represented years of pent-up demand by progressives. But much of the money would be spent in ways designed to break up the Trump coalition, which was powered heavily by middle- and lower-middle class whites who do not have college degrees with contempt for many parts of the progressive agenda.

It may have a positive affect on the Trump voter but it was not designed to do so. It's about needed changes and yes those changes will appeal to all who benefit.

Not so funny, but I predict exactly zero Republican Senators will vote for any of these "needed changes". Probably Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia won't vote for it either. If Manchin can't be persuaded by Biden, nothing happens and the Republicans will then take back control of the Senate in 2022. At that point, some really stupid and destructive things begin to happen.

The drop in viewership from Trump's first speech to a joint session to Biden*'s first speech to a joint session is almost as bad as the viewership drop from last year's Oscars to this year's.

Where are all those supposed Biden* voters?

They weren't watching Biden*.

Quote:
An estimated 26.9 million people watched the president’s address across 16 broadcast and cable networks, according to Nielsen figures released this afternoon.

That’s a steep drop from the 47.7 million who watched Donald Trump’s first speech to a joint session on February 28, 2017.

Nielsen reported that the bulk of Biden’s audience — 18.5 million — were 55 and older. The figures include out of home viewing. Starting at around 9:10 PM ET, the just over one hour speech aired live last night on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Telemundo, Univision, PBS, CNBC, CNN, CNNe, Fox Business Network, FOX News Channel, MSNBC, Newsmax, NewsNation and Newsy.

President Biden’s confused and meandering speech to Congress on Wednesday night bombed worse than the Academic Oscars earlier this week.

The half-empty House chamber made it look like a birthday party where nobody showed up. And the sad losers who did show up were all early-vaxxed and double-masked. Their mothers should have made them all wear helmets.

At least you cannot say it was a terribly partisan affair. Democrats and Republicans alike were joined in the profound desire to drift off to sleep. Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the world’s reigning experts at pretending to be awake, blinked back the suffocating tedium.

What I don't understand is how Biden* thinks* he's going to get thru a successful summit with Putin,with being turned into mincemeat.

He can only get thru a "news conference" if the order of reporters is written down for him, the questions are known ahead of time, and the answers are fully scripted.

Or a SOTU address on the order of "See Spot run", with no big words and sentences no more than five words long.

Is he going to ask for a virtual summit, so fast-typers can tap out answers for him to read?

Something that's been pre-negotiated, so all he has to do is show up for a photo op?

Have Kamala Harris do his talking for him?

Once that inflation starts kicking in on an economy that is already on the brink of collapse, you're going to see Biden*'s numbers free fall.

Gas is over $3.00 by me everywhere, and it was only around $2.20 at the beginning of the year. I don't even remember the last time it was over $3.00 here.

I had to buy an extra 8ft length of pre-primed shit pine that cost me only $4.79 two months ago and was $6.49 before tax yesterday.

For those keeping score, that's one hour of minimum wage work minus taxes for a shittly made piece of scrap wood that weighs about a pound.

I am always thankful that Trumptards never know why so they blame politicians rather than the top 1%:

Before sawmills could respond to that uptick in demand, another demand spike took place: Recession-induced, record-low interest rates helped spur a housing boom. That boom, which is exacerbated by the largest cohort of millennials starting to hit their peak homebuying years, is drying up existing home inventory and sending buyers in search of new construction. As of March, new housing starts are at its highest level since 2006. And those new homes require lots of softwood lumber.

umber-going-up-data-wood-shortage-why-so-expensive-to-buy-wood/

First, why are prices at the pump so high in general? There are several factors at play here that all have had an impact since last November:

The loosening of COVID restrictions globally in recent months has led to a rapid recovery in global demand for crude oil that has exceeded the expectations of all of the “experts” on the subject, leading to a tightening of global crude markets;

Strong discipline among the OPEC+ nations related to their agreement to limit exports has also played a major role in tightening the relationship between global supply and demand;

The U.S. election has also obviously played a big role here. Since last November 3, the average price per gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. has skyrocketed by 75 cents. The markets clearly see the Biden/Harris administration as one that will work to inhibit U.S. oil production, which will also have the effect of tightening the global market, and traders have responded by driving up the price of crude oil;

Refinery maintenance and the changeover to summer gasoline blends. This is a factor that I tend to write about every year at this time. Gas prices have continued to rise even as crude prices have dropped over the past week mainly due to the fact that March and April are the time of year in which many U.S. refineries are taken offline for annual maintenance and all refiners are switching from manufacturing a handful of winter blends of gasoline to the dozens of summer blends required by the EPA. This changeover invariably raises the costs of both refining and transportation of gasoline, and that is always worked into gas prices during these months.

To sum up: We’ve seen a confluence of factors since November that have driven up the price for crude oil now combined with the higher costs associated with the annual conversion over to summer blends of gasoline. Since gas prices at the pump tend to follow the price of crude on almost a linear basis, none of this is really surprising.

SECONDRATE, if you actually read the article that you posted, you'll see that it says that price increases are due to exactly what SIX said they were due to: easy money.

Low interest rates lead to housing boom and high demand for wood? That's easy money.

Loosening Covid-19 restrictions lead to ppl driving more and spending their stimulus checks on eating out? That's easy money.

Prices go up when there's "too much money chasing too few goods". When the money all went into the hands of the wealthy, inflation occurred in the stock market and luxury goods. If money is placed in the hands of the average consumer, the price of typical goods - gasoline, food, etc - will go up. I'm already seeing increases in grocery store items. Sales are impossible to find, and it's getting harder and harder to stick to a budget. Used car proces increased dramatically last year. Utility rate increases, too.

So, China and Russia are taking an increasingly angry tone when addressing the west. In addition to improving their military readiness and making major advances in defensive weapons, both China and Russia are applying counter-sanctions against various western countries, organizations, and individuals. Russia just created its own "enemies list" of ten nations. China has once again warned the west against interference in its domestic affairs which- according to them- includes Taiwan and the Uighurs.

Clearly, Russia and China are coordinating to disable the levers that the west uses to dominate other natins, and that includes military, economic and financial levers but is also including political, technology (space) and soft-power warfare.

I "get" Russia's stance, which appears to be primarily defensive: "Fortress Russia", self-sufficient and able to withstand whatever sanctions and financial and miltary pressure the west cares to apply. Russia's red lines are clearly demarcated to Russian territory and their "near abroad" (border nations of the former Soviet Union) which make Ukraine and Georgia a top priority.

China is a little harder to figure out. Unlike Russia, China is not self-sufficient in most raw resources, and has attained its development as the "factory to the world". It depends on trade, so its red lines extend well beyond China's borders to include BRI and international currency. Needs somethought on what, exactly, China would respond to as an existential threat, and what levers it might choose when retaliating against the west.

Signym, 6ix was complaining that Biden caused the price of lumber to increase. It was NOT Biden. The price increased because many more than normal houses have started being built and the sawmills, controlled by the top 1% richest Americans, not Biden, see that as the perfect opportunity to raise prices and gouge 6ix for all his money.

Biden didn't force the top 1% to raise prices on lumber. The top 1% know they can do it because when there is even the slightest shortage in lumber supply, prices can be jacked up very high, but not to infinity because then builders stop building when sawmill owners get too greedy. Biden has no control over any of this because the Federal government does NOT control prices.

I have NEVER known a Trumptard who understood that the top 1% control the economy, the exceptions being when America is in a World War or the GOP is trying to reelect Trump. The Trumptards forever think it is the Federal government who always has control. The Federal government could take that absolute control at all times, but usually Republican Senators don't let that happen, except when they are trying to reelect Trump and the Senate authorizes $5 trillion in excess spending during the year before Nov. 2020 to give Trump a good chance at winning a second term.

Signym, pay attention: During the 2016 presidential campaign, Republican candidate Donald Trump promised he would eliminate the nation’s debt in eight years. (He could have actually done what he promised, by vetoing spending bills from Congress, but doing it would not have personally benefited Trump. When did Trump last keep a promise? He doesn't need Congress' permission to veto spending.) Instead, his budget estimates showed that he would actually add at least $8.3 trillion, increasing the U.S. debt to $28.5 trillion by 2025. However, the national debt reached that figure much sooner. When President Trump took office in January 2017, the national debt stood at $19.9 trillion. In October 2020, the national debt reached a new high of $27 trillion. That's an increase of almost 36% in less than four years.

I'm not even reading Second's bullshit, but I can guess what it says from your reply.

Per Warrent Buffet: "We are seeing substantial inflation," Warren Buffett told attendees at last week’s annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting. "We are raising prices. People are raising prices to us, and it's being accepted."

Also: Ordinary Americans are searching for “inflation” online more frequently now than they have in more than a decade, data from Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid shows.

SECONDRATE: Signym, 6ix was complaining that Biden caused the price of lumber to increase. It was NOT Biden. The price increased because many more than normal houses have started being built and the sawmills, controlled by the top 1% richest Americans, not Biden, see that as the perfect opportunity to raise prices and gouge 6ix for all his money.

WHY are "many more than normal houses being built"? Low interest rates per Fed policy ... which Biden* has influence on?

Quote:
Biden has no control over any of this because the Federal government does NOT control prices.

Do you remeber Nixon's wage-price controls? Sure you do.

So, WHY did the USA experience stagflation? Was it because Johnson was a two-fisted money-spender, throwing money into the Great Society as well as the Vietnam War?

Also, there are more houses being built because the housing market is experiencing the rising tide of a new bubble in the making.

Speculation is rampant in many parts of the country right now. Bidding wars on homes in many places are becoming the norm.

People aren't buying the houses to live in. They're buying them for rental properties.

And as soon as those eviction moratoriums come to an end, it's estimated that as many as 11% of homeowners in the country will be kicked out of their homes. Far more than in the 2008/2009 housing market crisis.

ETA: As an aside...

I used to get maybe 3 to 5 mailers a year from people or organizations looking to buy my house with cash, "hassle free". This started about 3 or 4 years ago.

I now get around 3 to 5 of these every single month.

Even got a phone call from an outfit in India. Were they just using an Indian call center to handle this business because it's far cheaper than hiring Americans to do it, or are foreign interests buying up all of our homes with the intent of making Americans rent out their living quarters from foreign interests in the future?

Speaking of which

Quote:
Beijing has axed a high-level channel for economic talks with Canberra, blasting Australian leaders for having a “Cold War mentality” after the country canceled two contracts linked to its Belt and Road project.

In a harshly worded statement on Thursday, China’s economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission, said the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue would be paused indefinitely.“Recently, some Australian Commonwealth Government officials launched a series of measures to disrupt the normal exchanges and cooperation between China and Australia out of Cold War mindset and ideological discrimination,” the statement read.

Based on the current attitude of the Australian Commonwealth Government toward China-Australia cooperation, the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China decides to indefinitely suspend all activities under the framework of the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue.

Ties, and especially trade relations, between the two states have steadily frayed in recent months, seeing Beijing threaten economic retaliation after Canberra demanded an international probe into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, which was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. Before that, in 2018, Australia moved to ban the Shenzhen-based telecom giant Huawei and passed a number of foreign interference laws targeting Beijing, both prompting terse responses.

Also it’s extremely dangerous that PM believes he’s doing ‘God’s work’ (remember Blair & Iraq?)

The relationship has only deteriorated further in the meantime, with Australian officials scrapping two deals previously signed between Beijing and the state of Victoria for China’s Belt and Road Initiative in March.

wow, signed in March, scrapped in May. The ink barely dried!

Quote:
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said the contracts were “inconsistent with Australia’s foreign policy or adverse to our foreign relations,” invoking powers created by legislation passed last year that allows the FM to veto agreements with other nations.

In response, Beijing said the move was “bound to bring further damage to bilateral relations,” making good on that prediction with Thursday’s decision to scrap the economic dialogue.

While relations have been frosty for some time, halting the negotiation channel could spell further trouble for Canberra as it seeks to resolve trade disputes that affect $20 billion in Australian exports, including in key industries such as coal, timber, seafood, wine and barley. As of March, trade between the two countries had dropped by 40% overall, compared to the period before the commerce battle, with Beijing maintaining tariffs on a number of goods

This should go on the predictions thread, but I predict the USA and Britain are going to get a political, economic, and financial ass-whupping over the next four years.

The USA and Britain engineered their own economic collapses by deindustrializing, which set the stage for their own financial collapse. I suspect we will see Russia and China try to peel off Germany and maybe Italy.

This Biden Proposal Could Make the US a “Digital Dictatorship”

A “new” proposal by the Biden administration to create a health-focused federal agency

Oh goody. Another opaque Federal agency

Quote:
modeled after DARPA is not what it appears to be. Promoted as a way to “end cancer,” this resuscitated “health DARPA” conceals a dangerous agenda.
byWhitney Webb
May 5, 2021

Last Wednesday, President Biden was widely praised in mainstream and health-care–focused media for his call to create a “new biomedical research agency” modeled after the US military’s “high-risk, high-reward” Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. As touted by the president, the agency would seek to develop “innovative” and “breakthrough” treatments for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes, with a call to “end cancer as we know it.”

And we destroyed Iraq and Libya to save their people.

Just bc someone publicizes good intentions doesn't mean that's what they want to do.

Quote:
Far from “ending cancer” in the way most Americans might envision it, the proposed agency would merge “national security” with “health security” in such as way as to use both physical and mental health “warning signs” to prevent outbreaks of disease or violence before they occur. Such a system is a recipe for a technocratic “pre-crime” organization with the potential to criminalize both mental and physical illness as well as “wrongthink.”

The Biden administration has asked Congress for $6.5 billion to fund the agency, which would be largely guided by Biden’s recently confirmed top science adviser, Eric Lander. Lander, formerly the head of the Silicon Valley–dominated Broad Institute, has been controversial for his ties to eugenicist and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his relatively recent praise for James Watson, an overtly racist eugenicist. Despite that, Lander is set to be confirmed by the Senate and Congress and is reportedly significantly enthusiastic about the proposed new “health DARPA.”

This new agency, set to be called ARPA-H or HARPA, would be housed within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and would raise the NIH budget to over $51 billion. Unlike other agencies at NIH, ARPA-H would differ in that the projects it funds would not be peer reviewed prior to approval; instead hand-picked program managers would make all funding decisions. Funding would also take the form of milestone-driven payments instead of the more traditional multiyear grants.

Okie dokie! I don't actually need toread any further to know that thisprogram will be used for nefarious purposes,and neither should you.

Bc, why the funding secrecy? There are already research programs out there to cure cancer and Alzheimer's and all of the other expensive and debilitating diseases "uot there", and THEIR funding is open and transparent thru NIH grants which are granted after submissions are peer reviewed by a panel. The decisions are public,as areth submissions.

So, why would anyone want to - or need to - hide their research proposals from pulic view if they're as benign as the Biden* proposal claims?

Quote:
ARPA-H will likely heavily fund and promote mRNA vaccines as one of the “breakthroughs” that will cure cancer. Some of the mRNA vaccine manufacturers that have produced some of the most widely used COVID-19 vaccines, such as the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, stated just last month that “cancer is the next problem to tackle with mRNA tech” post-COVID. BioNTech has been developing mRNA gene therapies for cancer for years and is collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to create mRNA-based treatments for tuberculosis and HIV.

Other “innovative” technologies that will be a focus of this agency are less well known

Despite its populist tone, Lokey told Bloomberg he recently left Zero Hedge because he didn’t see eye-to-eye with the others when it came to editorial vision.

Lokey claims Zero Hedge’s focus on traffic and revenue is hypocritical, but Ivandjiiski sees things differently.

Finally, Zero Hedge addressed the accusations of systematic bias in its content.

“We are certainly ok with being the object of other’s conspiracy theories, in this case completely false ones since we have never been in contact with anyone in Russia, or the US, or any government for that matter,” Zero Hedge says.

Imagine this reverie coming about because of a “pin!” in your inbox. After all you have just been presented with an astonishing piece of intel. You scramble to the exit, actually the entrance of the Magic Theater, where you ask, Keats-style, Was it a dream? Do I wake or sleep?

So what was the dream about? Oh, something so prosaic, so down to the nitty gritty geopolitics: what really happened during the visit of US Secretary of State Tony Blinken to Ukraine.

The great Andrei Martyanov has remarked that Blinken “told Kiev behind the scenes to ‘dial it down’, amidst the fluffy tropes about US concern for Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’ and ‘security’”.

Well, looks like there was way more than fluffy tropes.

Leaked info on the closed-door meeting between Blinken and Comedian-in-Charge Zelensky is no less than incandescent. Blinken seemed to have read a no holds barred riot act.

Here are the guidelines. All Ukrainian state corporations must be controlled by the proverbial “foreign interests”. So board majorities must be either foreign or 5th columnists. The entire anti-corruption vertical drive must also be foreign-controlled. Same for the judicial system.

Andriy Kobolyev – an American asset – must be reinstated as head of Naftogaz. Zelensky moved mountains to get rid of Kobolyev.

Blinken demanded a massive push against every Ukrainian oligarch, so that huge chunks of Ukrainian economy are transferred to – who else – foreigners. Same for land privatization.

This is what we did to Russia 1990-2000, but to a much smaller country and on a much smaller scale. Well, when you're a starving parasite,I guess you can't be too choosy.

Quote:
Somewhat hilariously, Blinken warned that Russian troops might invade Ukraine. In this case, Zelensky can count only on huge political assistance, not military. So Zelensky in fact was ordered to stop asking to join NATO and cease provoking Russia, as President Putin, who already drew red lines, could make a “drastic decision”.

Blinken demanded that American assets should be untouchable by Ukrainian law, and named honored figures of civil society. Maidan cookie distributor Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland, also in the room, drew up a list of The Untouchables, and Blinken met with them separately.

Finally, the giant ghost hanging over the whole trip to Kiev had to make itself known. In practice, Zelensky was invited to turn in everyone in Ukraine who helped bring information about Hunter Biden to the media via Rudolph Giuliani.

According to the source who had access to the leak, Zelensky was left beyond speechless. That’s not exactly what he was expecting. Especially when it comes to transferring valuable assets controlled by Ukrainian oligarchs to “foreign interests”. Someone will inevitably whack him.

No one is touching this leak – as if it was radioactive poison. No one will confirm it. Its plausibility though cannot be denied.

Contradicting these powerful, left unnamed “foreign interests” is simply out of the question. They now seem to be guided by a "take the money and run” logic, as in taking over the looting of Ukraine lock, stock and barrel before the whole thing – actually a failed state – blows up.

According to the source who had access to the leak, Zelensky was left beyond speechless. That’s not exactly what he was expecting. Especially when it comes to transferring valuable assets controlled by Ukrainian oligarchs to “foreign interests”. Someone will inevitably whack him.

No one is touching this leak – as if it was radioactive poison. No one will confirm it. Its plausibility though cannot be denied.

Contradicting these powerful, left unnamed “foreign interests” is simply out of the question. They now seem to be guided by a "take the money and run” logic, as in taking over the looting of Ukraine lock, stock and barrel before the whole thing – actually a failed state – blows up.

Butting Heads with China and Russia
American Diplomats Are Outclassed
Philip Giraldi • May 13, 2021 • 1,600 Words • 69 Comments • Reply

With the exception of the impending departure of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan, if it occurs, the White House seems to prefer to use aggression to deter adversaries rather than finesse. The recent exchanges between Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a meeting in Alaska demonstrate how Beijing has a clear view of its interests which Washington seems to lack. Blinken initiated the acrimonious exchange when he cited “deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion toward our allies. Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability. That’s why they’re not merely internal matters, and why we feel an obligation to raise these issues here today.” He then threatened “I said that the United States relationship with China will be competitive where it should be, collaborative where it can be, adversarial where it must be” before adding “I’m hearing deep satisfaction that the United States is back, that we’re reengaged with our allies and partners. I’m also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government is taking.”

The Chinese Foreign Minister responded sharply, rejecting U.S. suggestions that it has a right to interfere in another country’s domestic policies, “I think we thought too well of the United States, we thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. The United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength. We believe that it is important for the United States to change its own image, and to stop advancing its own democracy in the rest of the world.” Yi had a point. Ironically, most of the world believes that the U.S. represents a greater threat to genuine democracy than does either China or Russia.

In another more recent interview Blinken has accused the Chinese of acting “more aggressively abroad” while President Biden has claimed that Beijing has a plan to replace America as the world’s leading economic and military power. U.S. United Nations envoy Linda Thomas-Greenfield has also delivered the same message that Washington is preparing to take no prisoners, pledging to push back against what she called China’s “authoritarian agenda” through the various agencies that make up the UN bureaucracy. Indeed, the United States seems trapped in its own rhetoric, finding itself in the middle of a situation with China and Taiwan where warnings that Beijing is preparing to use force to recover its former province leave Washington with few options to support a de facto ally. Peter Beinart in a recent op-ed observes how the White House has been incrementally increasing its diplomatic ties with Taiwan even as it both declares itself “rock solid” on defending while also maintaining “strategic ambiguity.”

China understands its interests while the U.S. continues to be bewildered by Beijing’s successful building of trade alliances worldwide. Meanwhile Russian President Vladimir Putin, reputedly an excellent chess player, is able to think about genuine issues in three dimensions and is always at least four moves ahead of where Biden and his advisers are at any time. Biden public and video appearances frequently seem to be improvisations as he goes along guided by his teleprompter while Putin is able to explain issues clearly, apparently even in English.

A large part of Biden’s problem vis-à-vis both China and Russia is that he has inherited a U.S. Establishment view of foreign and national security policy options. It is based on three basic principles. First, that America is the only superpower and can either ignore or comfortably overcome the objections of other nations to what it is doing. Second, an all-powerful and fully resourced United States can apply “extreme pressure” to recalcitrant foreign governments

The targets of the campaign include Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and republicans Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey and Shelley Moore Capito.

Some of the lawmakers who will see pressure from WorkMoney have already been in touch with Biden and seem to be on the path to a compromise with the administration.

Russia's Pro-Putin Commentators Praise Biden After Summit

GENEVA — For months, Russia’s state news media have ridiculed President Biden as bumbling, confused and well past his prime. But by Thursday, the mood had shifted: Here was a man in the White House, some said, who understands us, who we can do business.

On one point there seemed to be broad agreement: Mr. Biden was a new sort of counterpart, more predictable and professional than President Donald J. Trump and more inclined to reckon with Russian interests than other recent predecessors, like President Barack Obama.

On the other hand all agree Putin was rambling, using whataboutism to answer almost all the reporters’ questions. It was funny to watch. To the honest viewer in America, Russia and the world, it showed Putin to be full of shit.

Why the Russian people want to live with a dictatorship is unfathomable to me. If you look at all this rationally, Biden is trying to set the Russia people free. He is the one saying the Russian people have the right to choose their destiny. Putin is the one blocking that.

The group is moving ahead with their debate, despite the pope’s warning.

The Bishops should worry less about President Biden's soul and worry more about their own.

They should be showing the pope the way about apologizing to Indigenous peoples on this continent for what the church has done.

It's time we called a spade a spade Brenda. All religions are up to their necks in politics when there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. Their actions are destroying that. What is happening to Biden amounts to blackmail.

Evangelicals gave Trump a list of judges they wanted to see on the Supreme Court and he chose from that list. That was their 30 pieces of silver and why they supported Trump. Their tax exemption if I'm correct is dependent on their adhering to the rule they stay out of politics. Time to remove that exemption. If we did it would go along way towards ending organized religion.

You mean ending Christianity.

Islam and Judaism aren't losing their money.

Here's your idiot, Ted.

Did he give Putin a map too? Maybe passwords they shouldn't be using to log into these critical, off-limits points of infrastructure?

It seems he doesn't even know what he told Putin, since the teleprompter didn't have the number for him. Maybe 16 points is like Obama's 57 states.
