[I'm thinking of inviting readers to compete picking the date on which the post-Biden president will be sworn in. Readers can express it as a date certain or a distribution (say, a Gaussian or a MAB) on the calendar. Selecting a date certain (i.e. 20 January 2025) makes sense only if you believe that Biden will serve out a full term, otherwise … . Maybe I'll even make a donation to the winner's favorite tax-deductible organization. Thoughts? gjr]

I reckon that Biden will come up with some ailment right before the 2022 midterms and the call will go out to help Kamala by giving her a Leftinista House and Senate. They will need to rally the troops, big time. if I have to choose a date, Sept 27, 2020.

TODAY’S SPINNING WHEEL
News item: Biden has ambitious plans for gun control, including bans on certain kinds of weapons, an excise tax on so-called “assault” rifles, and of course more background checks. You can read all the dreary details here if you’re a glutton.
News item:
“During my twelve-and-half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime. I am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, untraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control.”
—Joe Biden, 1985

Holy Smokes, Trump has done it now! Hit it boys, and a one and a two, “ Khashoggi, Khashoggi, Khashoggi!” Trump cuddles up to dictators! And cuddling up to Iran, Saudia Arabia’s enemy, is not ??? Good thing John ‘Logan Act Violator’ Kerry is on the ball. Even the French (and our European allies) have sheepishly admitted that Trump’s policy on Iran is the correct one. Say goodbye to that policy.
‘Another Middle East Trump Triumph?’
The Saudis and Israelis reportedly met in what could become a blockbuster achievement.
“The Middle East has been a mess since, oh, roughly the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. Progress is slow, grievances last for centuries, and rivalries — often born of religious fervor — are forever. And yet a New York real estate magnate named Donald Trump became U.S. president, set to work on peace in the Middle East, and, by golly, he’s achieved significant success that far outpaces anything his predecessors could claim.”

Trumpers have done a good job of brainwashing their base into believing Covid is fake news,
“Last week, Kentucky recorded more than 20,000 cases of COVID-19, bringing its total to over 160,000. It’s one of many states where hospitals have exceeded 70 percent capacity. “Our volume has skyrocketed,” Molina says of the patients coming into her ER. “It’s just been really straining and draining on our staff.”
One of the more troubling things she has witnessed is that some individuals, even while battling the virus, still believe it’s a hoax. “We can only tell people it’s real so many times. We’ll have patients come up positive and they’ll say, ‘You’re just trying to take our money’ or ‘You didn’t do it correctly,” she says. “People have said, ‘No, I’m not going up to the COVID unit. I don’t have it.’ How do you argue that? How much more real can it get?”

Well, Roberta, everyone has an opinion. My opinion is that irrelevant folks like moi across the fruited plains handed the Speaker of the House of Representatives the slimmest majority that has been seen in 20 years…..and, without needing to be said, the slimmest majorIty the Botox Queen has had control over. When all the dust settles, Dems will be majority of four, maybe five, in the body of 435 Congress critters. That is what the Screaming Banshees of the world call irrelevant. Must be a new definition in our ever bastardization of the English vocabulary.
As a side note, in Blue Blue Blue Minnesota, 2 state Dem legislators from the greater Minnesota area have announced they are switching to the R side, cementing R control of the lower body. Us irreverent folks take wat we can get.
Remember in 2008 after Obama was elected POTUS, the Lamestream mantra was the R’s are dead as a major political party and relegated to a irrelevant regional party in the racist South. Turn the page and ten years later in 2018, the Enemy of the People was repeating the exact same nonsense (with our Popinjay being no exception) that the R’s are toast forever hence, and blah, blah, blah. The once former major Republican Party was met its Waterloo. “Why do you think that is, Don, Todd, Biker Bill?”
There is something about human nature that is worth your consideration….that has been played over and over again to this very hour:
1)When things are going good, the human mind thinks this is how it be always be til death due us part.
2) When things are going bad, the human exaggerates how bad things really are. Thus, good or bad, the emotions lie and the truth is not to be found.
That’s just my irrelevant opinion. You can argue with facts, but never with emotions. Fear is the big one.

“As Kerry’s appointment shows, they’ll make the exact same mistake again,” he said.
He then said Obama administration officials “stood by” as ISIS established a caliphate, after Obama described them as a “JV team.” He also criticized the negotiation of the Iran nuclear deal — from which the Trump administration withdrew in 2018 and the Biden administration intends to re-enter.
“This team spent its days toasting CCP officials and arranging Brookings internships for their kids, then seamlessly moved to the private sector to consult for companies shipping jobs from Ohio to Xinjiang,” he said.

Oh my Gregory Goodknight,
you really are a genuine TOOL. How many times do we have to post this fact and inform you of it? Its called lack of self awareness.
How often we’ve advised you to stop your public humiliation in your support and trust in the discredited and soon to be disbarred Sidney Powell. Yet you keep going and going and going, attacking anyone of common sense.
Once again, we strongly advise you to shut your ignorant trap and take the hint from your host, Mr. Rebane. He gets it, you still trust the lunacy of the Sidney Powell story. No Greg, Sidney is not going to uncover some grand conspiracy. She is a joke, she has nothing, she is a fraud. Even Barry has stopped posting about this.

Don sez: “This is getting ridiculous“.
Yep. And a whole generation is being conned out of a real education. While this link should be posted under the Chinese Virus from Wuhan, I will slip it one here.
“The Post’s article states:
A report on student grades from one of the nation’s largest school districts offers some of the first concrete evidence that online learning is forcing a striking drop in students’ academic performance, and that the most vulnerable students — children with disabilities and English-language learners — are suffering the most.
Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, which has been mostly online since March, published an internal analysis this week showing that, between the last academic year and this one, the percentage of middle school and high school students earning F’s in at least two classes jumped by 83 percent: from 6 percent to 11 percent. By the end of the first quarter of 2020-2021, nearly 10,000 Fairfax students had scored F’s in two or more classes — an increase of more than 4,300 students as compared with the group who received F’s by the same time last year.”
These results are dramatic, but not surprising. If anything, they probably understate the impact of resorting to online education.
For another thing, teachers have been the driving force behind school shutdowns. Thus, they may have an interest in making it seem like online learning is an adequate substitute, and in grading accordingly.
The Fairfax County experience is not an outlier. According to the Post, in the Independent School District in Houston, more than 40 percent of students are earning failing grades in at least two of their classes. And in St. Paul, Minn., the superintendent recently reported that nearly 40 percent of public high-schoolers have failing marks.
European nations that haven’t been shy about imposing lockdowns are keeping schools open. These countries aren’t experiencing adverse health effects as a result of this decision.
Is it too much to ask that liberal leaders in America make decisions that are as sound as those made by liberal leaders abroad?

Lots to unpack here. Powell isn’t trying to convince a court. She is trying to convince Republican state legislatures. Further, the blatant fraud that is so visible to anyone looking has convinced 97% of people that voted for Trump that the election was fake. That’s 70 million people. The only people disenfranchised here were trump voters.
As far as the country burning down, Democrats have been leading us to this path aimee they lost the house in 1994. Maybe it is time for a clean start.

‘Withhout Evidence, Former President Obama Accuses Hispanic Trump Voters Of Bigotry’
Former President Barack Obama accused Hispanic voters of being bigots, claiming that they ignored the current administration’s “racist” immigration policies to vote for Donald Trump because “he supports their views on gay marriage.”
“People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump,” Obama said on The Breakfast Club podcast Wednesday. “But there’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, you know, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees undocumented workers in cages, they think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion.”
In states like Texas and Florida, Latino voters swung for Trump over Biden in the 2020 election. In Florida, nearly half of Latino voters cast ballots for President Trump, and in Texas’s Rio Grand Valley, Trump flipped Zapata County, one of the bluest counties along the river with 52.5 percent of the vote.
Despite Obama’s claims that gay marriage drove “evangelical” Hispanic voters to Trump, causing them to ignore Trump’s “racist” immigration policies, same-sex issues did not appear as one of the top ten important issues for Americans going into Election Day and was not a top ten priority for Hispanic voters specifically.
Gay marriage was also not a topic highlighted or heavily paraded by the president in campaign advertisements or speech, reinforcing the idea that LGBTQ+ issues were simply not a top priority or focus for his campaign or his voters. Unlike Obama, Trump was actually the first president who openly supported gay marriage.
Instead, Hispanic voters showed concern for things like the economy, COVID-19, and violent crime, all of which Trump heavily focused on in his re-election campaign, promising more jobs, faster vaccine development, and calling for law and order.
And while Obama attempted to characterize Trump as a racist for his immigration policies and insult the Hispanics who voted for him by pitting racism against other voting priorities, the former president ignored the fact that it was his administration that locked up children in cages long before Trump was even in the political picture.
While the media often lauds and portrays Obama as someone who unites the country with his words, the former president has made many divisive statements, including a history of calling people opposed to gay marriage bigots.
Shortly before his wildly inaccurate comments about Hispanic voters, he told the podcast host without evidence that Republicans “internalize” a “sincere belief” that white men need to be coddled.”

Hmm. Who was opposed to same sex marriage in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011? Most of us were ok with civil unions then as was President Obama. Who built the cages undocumented kids where placed in 2014? Guess we have previously covrred this 6 ways to Sunday.

Biden National Security Adviser Pick Said “Al-Qaeda Is On Our Side” in Syria
“The email contained a spot report on activity in Syria, with the last item reading: “AL-ZAWAHIRI URGES MUSLIM SUPPORT FOR OPPOSITION (U) Al-Qaida leader al-Zawahiri called on Muslims in Turkey and the Middle East to aid rebel forces in their fight against supporters of Syrian President Assad in an interne video recording. Al-Zawahiri also urged the Syrian people not to rely on the AL, Turkey, or the United States for assistance.euters).
His supposed logic here is that because America had backed rebel groups fighting Assad in the Syrian Civil War, and Al-Qaeda was also fighting against Assad, that they’re “on our side.”
The other two people Biden chose to lead his foreign policy team are Antony Blinken and Linda Thomas-Greenfield. All three are alumni of the Obama administration.”

Georgia’s runoff elections will determine whether Republicans or Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, a crucial balance of power that could ultimately determine the future of the bill. Republicans currently hold 50 seats versus Democrats’ 48.

Portland’s Black BLM Activists Say They’re Done With ‘White’ Antifa, Want ‘Separation’
“BLM activists also contend that the largely white “Antifa” group is “privileged,” noting that many of those arrested during the protests are middle- or upper-class, are quickly free on bail, and often escape prosecution — luxuries not often afforded to people of color who tangle with the same justice system.
“Most Black people in our community don’t feel like they have the privilege to go straight to the police and yell in their face,” one activist told OPB. “If you’re privileged, if you’re white, you care less about whether or not a protest is going to result in reforms that might save even just one life. And you have the ability to be a purist in a way that Black and brown communities really do not.”
The privilege gap becomes an even bigger problem, BLM activists say, when the Anarchists push back against peaceful protesters who suggest less violent tactics might be more effective at achieving protest goals. In Portland, especially, the notorious, Antifa-aligned Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front excoriated more peaceful groups for “pacifying the nightly justice center action,” calling members of BLM “police collaborators.”
The breakup does go deeper. Antifa-aligned groups tried to “cancel” social justice organizers, dredging up old Tweets, accusing key BLM protest leaders of sexism and “being disrespectful to women.””
