    “Trump War Room fires back at House Dem impeachment managers who used ‘fight like hell’ rhetoric in the past”
    It was OK when your Commiecrats used the same exact words Emery. Right?
    Did not the LIBS challenge the votes for Trump in the past?
    YES or NO Emery??(choose your answer carefully)

    Dear People of all persuasions – among the deluge of mistakes the Biden administration has managed in its first three weeks in power, we are still waiting for someone to discover the first thing that they have done right – anybody?

    Oh Walt, please don’t feed the trolls suffering from TDS, BDS, and a double portion of TDS. Remember when the egotistical self centered Trump had two scoops of ice cream? Shocking!
    They have already moved the goalposts. Now it isn’t just the President’s address to the peaceful Trump supporters at the WH on Jan 6. No, they could not prove conspiracy to incite insurrection by that. That dog don’t hunt. Now they say it wasn’t Jan 6, but the culmination of all his speeches.
    All this goes to prove that not only can you indict a ham sandwich, you can impeach a ham sandwich as well.

    I would think that nursing schools existed to teach nurses to be the best medical practices available and spend every minute of classroom instruction focusing on medical ailments and treatments. I thunk wrong.
    ‘Washington College Creates ‘Anti-Racism’ Center For Nursing Students’
    Nursing students and faculty must recognize their privilege and how it disadvantages others.
    “Nursing students and faculty are also called to recognize their privilege and how it disadvantages others. Nurses must become knowledgeable about anti-racism and vow to “disrupt” in order to “transform systems of inequity and oppression.”
    Additionally, the nursing community was asked to “work to destabilize, revolutionize, and transform the oppressive systems that shape all aspects of our learning, our scholarship, and our workspaces.”
    “I believe in the critical importance of a just, inclusive, and equitable society, in which its educational and health systems reflect anti-racist values,” the pledge concludes.”

    Hmmm. My nurse had terrible bedside mannerisms, was rude, and did not seem all that familiar with my condition, but By Golly, she was the wokest person in the room.

    Paul would not, of course, actually spell out any single thing that Biden had done. Or tell us the specifics or why Biden’s action were good for our country.
    Paul, per usual can not and will not be drawn into a discussion of policy and how it affects Americans.

    PaulE 733pm – Many thanks for nominating the first of Biden’s beneficial acts. But just naming it is not enough; you have to tell us how our rejoining the Paris Accords is going to help us do better in cleaning the environment, and how our membership in that organization will benefit the much-touted “environmental crisis”. By every available measure, we are already beating the crap out of all the other members’ efforts to clean the environment. The rest are just sitting around the table setting goals that they cannot meet.

    Was the union wrong that the pony tail of ignorance is done as the news reader? The world wonders.

    Gee we see a ton of this kind of thing locally from our leftist liberal ‘reporters’ like the dark lord of liberal lament land and the pony tail of ignorance. ROFLOL –
    MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell was brutally mocked on Twitter Wednesday for her botched attempt to fact check Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, over a Shakespeare quote.
    During his Wednesday appearance on “America’s Newsoom,” Cruz invoked The Bard to summarize the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
    “It’s reminiscent of Shakespeare [in] that it is full of sound and fury, and yet signifying nothing,” said Cruz, referencing part of a well-known soliloquy from “Macbeth.”
    “@SenTedCruz says #ImpeachmentTrial is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that’s Faulkner,” Mitchell tweeted.
    Mitchell was quickly backed up by Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, who wrote, “and it says volumes about his lack of soul. That’s Any Thinking Person.”
    The NBC News chief Washington correspondent’s error led to a tsunami of fact-checking from critics, who pointed out that the title of William Faulkner’s 1929 novel “The Sound and the Fury” came from Shakespeare’s words.
    “Oh dear Andrea, this tweet is a Scottish tragedy,” Washington Post correspondent Annie Gowen reacted.
    “Faulkner wrote the book ‘The Sound and the Fury.’ But the phrase comes from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: ‘It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ The whole passage is beautiful,” New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof gently corrected Mitchell.

    ‘Compromised Biden Reopens Doors For Communist China To Infiltrate U.S. Universities’
    “President Joe Biden’s administration stealthily eliminated a Trump-era proposal mandating that educational institutions in the U.S. disclose their relationship with the Confucius Institute, which has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Ministry of Education. Confucius Institutes are well-documented instruments of Chinese Communist soft power to expand the U.S. adversary’s influence and allies abroad.”

    PaulE 823pm – Nice try Paul, but no cigar. The Paris Agreement has been nothing but a word factory manufacturing embarrassingly meaningless goals that will minimally impact CO2 emissions and absolutely no proof that these will reduce world temps or water levels or … . All the big emitters have been given a pass in Paris, and by our lonesome we have done more CO2 reduction than all of them put together.
    Now tell us again, why rejoining Paris was more than mouthing slogans and Biden’s finest hour.

    A little bird told me this was a better place to post this birthday message to my father. Thank you also for the kind comments that followed.

    Happy Birthday Daddy! (I came here to wish my father a happy 81st birthday because he is the father of the goddamn year, for decades and decades in a row now.)
    Dear Daddy,
    At great cost, you (and Mama) prioritized raising us to face our lives with resilience, courage and critical thinking. You entertained and taught us by using your life stories and you made sure we considered current events with historical context. You always stopped to answer my questions. You always looked ahead and helped us – or warned us. If only I could time travel to tell my teenage self that you would pretty much always end up being right.
    What your readers experience here in your blog, I have been fortunate enough to experience in person throughout my life. I never knew how lucky I was to be fighting with a giant. Thank you for sparring with me; as I age, you become more and more impressive!
    You are kinder, more generous, and more sensitive than some of your dissenting readers understand. They might not know how much you care for them. Sure, they’d believe that you sit down at your desk to write for us, but they might not understand that you take extra time to write FOR THEM.
    Thank you for being a role model of physical, mental, and intellectual health. It would be hard to exaggerate the love & support you and Mama give our family. It would be hard to exaggerate your love for Mama, your children, your friends, and your fellow man.
    I love you Daddy and I need you to last a long, long, time, Teine

    ‘Doctors Disappointed After Joe Biden Rescinds Trump Reform to Boost Access to Opioid Addiction Help’
    “President Biden had promised during the campaign to abolish the licensing requirement, known as the “X-waiver,” which President Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services moved to nix a week before he left office. After France eliminated a similar regulation, the number of patients receiving buprenorphine increased tenfold, and opioid overdose deaths dropped by 80% in four years.”
