[Just on the off chance that some readers may want some fresh sand to discuss something other than election related topics (for which we have live postings), I thought that a new Sandbox should be made available. We shall see. gjr]

Thanks Mr. Prez –
New non-farm payrolls came in at 630,000, versus 580,000 that was expected. The unemployment rate also dropped from 7.9% to 6.9%, 0.7 percentage points lower than economists’ predictions.

No way –
Graham pledging to work with Democrats on immigration? We know exactly what that means. A mass amnesty bill,” RJ Hauman from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) told Breitbart News.
“No matter what ends up happening, Trump has forever changed the Republican Party — it is now the party of protecting American workers and secure borders, not amnesty and cheap foreign labor,” Hauman said:
His base stuck with him through thick and thin, so if the GOP doesn’t accept the arrival of a durable political phenomenon and adjust its immigration policymaking accordingly, the same won’t be able to be said about them. Why do some lawmakers have a hard time processing this?
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) told Breitbart News that “any amnesty ensures Texas and Arizona and Florida will be solid blue and would join southern California as a once red area.”
“These states would likely stay blue for a generation, leaving one-party control like California,” Gosar said. As Pew Research Center recently noted, high legal immigration levels of more than 1.2 million green card admissions a year drives up Democrat support in most swing states.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said, “There is no common ground between conservative Republicans” and Biden on immigration. Biden’s plan includes amnesty for all illegal aliens, freeing border-crossers into the interior of the U.S., providing free healthcare to illegal aliens, and increasing the flow of foreign visa workers into the U.S. labor market to compete for jobs against Americans.

Actually Paul, we conservatives have already factored in that very possibility for quite a while.
It’s you who had better get used to what’s coming. Paul gloated over the Dems taking over CA until he realized what a mess they’ve made.
You claim Biden will end the CV pandemic – so now he’s POTUS elect, where’s the big solution? Why wait until he’s sworn in? Let’s start implementing it now. Right – he has no solution.
Sorry Paul – the Dems only know how to seize power – they have proven time and again they have no idea of how to make this a better country.

Yesterday’s quotes today.
Insight: “The moment men obtain perfect freedom, that moment they erect a stage for the manifestation of their faults. The strong characters begin to go wrong by excess of energy; the weak by remissness of action.” —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
Silver linings: “The election sets things up nicely for Republicans in 2022 and 2024. It has prevented Democratic excesses for at least the next two years, which is the immediate benefit. But if Joe Biden squeaks into the Oval Office, historical precedent suggests Republicans would win seats in the next midterm elections. Then, two years later, the GOP presidential nominee will probably be a vigorous, age-appropriate conservative, challenging either the oldest incumbent in the history of the country, or a venomous radical who was once his vice president.” —Hugo Gordon
Observations: “Conservatives have good reason to be enraged by Biden’s victory. If we are less angry than the left was four years ago, it’s because we’re more stable emotionally. … Though not enraged by Biden’s victory, I’m offended by it — offended that this mediocre man will become the president of our great country.” —Paul Mirengoff
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “If 68 million people do something it’s vital that we understand it.” —Andrew Yang
Demo-gogue: “Donald Trump sadly is trying to take our democracy down with him into the sewer, despite the fact that there is no evidence of fraud. Let the votes be counted.” —Senator Amy Klobuchar
Race bait, Part I: “We intellectually understand what America is at its base, right? That there is a great amount of racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness. This idea that political correctness is some sort of scheme to destroy white America, right? … I think part of your heart says, ‘You know what? Maybe the country’s going to pay off all of this pain.’ As the night wore on … I realized … that’s not happening. We are still who we thought, unfortunately. … It’s disappointing, and I emerge from this disappointed.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid
Race bait: Part II: “All of this [minority support for Trump] to me points to the power of the white patriarchy and the coattail it has of those who depend on it or aspire to it. It reaches across gender and sexual orientation and even race. Trump’s brash, privileged chest trumping and alpha-male dismissiveness and in-your-face rudeness are aspirational to some men and appealing to some women. Some people who have historically been oppressed will stand with the oppressors, and will aspire to power by proximity.” —NYT’s Charles Blow
Village idiot: “[Trump] is a liar and a cheat who wants them to stop counting thousands of legitimate votes. And almost half of us are apparently OK with that. Half of us want to keep it going for four more years. … What more did Trump have to do to show us that he’s insane and not fit to lead this country? I feel like I overestimated the American people, and I underestimated the Village People.” —Jimmy Kimmel
Greasing the skids: “Regardless of the winner, the electoral college must go. It’s an antiquated relic that has outlived its usefulness.” —Seth MacFarlane
And last.. “Whatever you think of Trump’s fraud claims, the idea that Russia colluded with Trump to rig our election is far more absurd and yet it was promoted by every Democrat and every liberal media outlet nonstop for four years.” —Matt Walsh

Looking ahead, this coming January there will be two Senate runoff races in one state, Georgia. It will be like a national election with all the focus on Georgia. Kinda like all the attention Roy Moore got in Alabama in his race against Doug Jones in 2018. Exciting times. If things work out as they currently appear they will, the R’s will have 50 votes going into the two runoffs.
Sidebar: Heard Doug Jones lost. Probably a Internet rumor.

Re: C-19
Check this out. My friend in the sticks in Placer County had to go see the doc. So, he pulls out one of those good painter’s N-95 masks he had in the tool shed and headed to Auburn to see ole sawbones.
He was stopped at the door with the obligatory temp check ray gun to the forehead and the medical assistant lady at the door blocked him and handed him a big mask to but on over his N-95 mask. She explained that N-95 masks are no good and not acceptable anymore, ROFLMAO
And to think that just in the last two weeks I discovered a gold mine in an old box of lighting fixture parts. Eureka! I found a zip lock bag with four individually sealed medical NIOSH N95 masks! Better than that one I found in a tool bucket months ago. To this day, the only place or reason I would even have had those fine state of the art masks is from that day I had to drive to Reno and attend that New Mexico hantavirus training class. Nice place. Didn’t get put up in the penthouse, but the floor under it wasn’t bad. And neither was the instructor. Anyway….
Anybody looking for a N-95 mask? Free, white color, never used, four of them, no good. Can be sown together to make summer bikini top.
