One more thing the democrats love spending money and increase the dept ceiling. oh lets replenish the iron dome, and give Israel billions of dollars for that. Meanwhile on the other hand they give money to the Palestine's to rebuild.

Do they actually know where the money goes to. Palestine will just buy more weapons, and iran will give them also. and the democrats will start another war soon.

cause they are not fixing anyting.


Maybe the US government should be loaning this money out at current credit card rates depending on the country they are lending to current credit rating? It would still be taking from Petter to pay Paul, but when others start trying to collect from the US at least they could point a finger of blame in another direction.

It's easy to take somebody out of the ghetto, it's hard to take the ghetto out of somebody.

Your point comes down to - employment may erode away the ghetto mindset; and I agree with that and 'charity reinforces it'. I'm not so sure that in this pandemic we can differentiate between charity and relief so clearly.

A point I wanted to make is that while it's too late for adults, Biden's most recent accomplishment is going to wreck the future; and this is to some extent explained by a 15 year old.

I am not sure the boy in the video was the right person to put this message across. Everyone wants to play the "victim" nowadays, and the way he came across was just jumping on board with the rest. "Oh poor me". The current movement is a very in your face approach which will rub many the wrong way leading to even more divide. Back in the late 80's, early 90's I seen a similar movement but it was much more subtle. Rap music and hip hop was becoming main stream creating a generation of wannabees or wiggers. White boys who wanted to wear their pants dropped almost to their knees, and picking up that thug attitude. TV started to become "Black" and "White" having almost as many "Black shows" as "White shows". Black people have always been entertainers, from music, to acting, to sports. If we go off the numbers of 14% "black" people in America and compare that to the number in the NBA, NFL, or even pop music or actors the numbers would be show that there are certain areas where "black" people have an advantage over other races. By the mid 90's many had Americans jumped on the country music trend which leveled the field in that time. They have special award shows just for "blacks" and other thing exclusive sending the message they prefer "separate but equal" instead of being a part of the masses.
Just to compare the ADA (Americans with disabilities act) of the mid 70's where handicap people wanted to be treated like everyone else. This being treated like everyone else included all businesses making special parking spaces at the front of their businesses only to be used by the handicap. They also had to spend thousands or even tens of thousands to build ramps and elevator's, making their bathrooms bigger with grab bars and special counter top heights, putting merchandise at a certain level, and sometimes even posting in braille. So is that truly treating them as they treat everyone else? Or is that making special modifications just for the purpose of satisfying a very small group of people? There are many black people who just want to fit in with everyone else, by not stirring the pot, but many others are disrupting this because they want to be put on a pedestal and treated special.

As far as "charity" because of the pandemic, when does that become a crutch that people can not live without? When does "charity" become bribery? I guess all campaigning could be considered a bribe because they are basically telling you they will provide you with something in return for your vote. But when that something includes free health care and cash benefits it just seems so much clearer that it is an actual bribe with direct results.

Always negative, always.


On a side note; my favorite thing about the pants to your knees is what it means, I'd bet most people don't know.

Critical race theory studies in school

The polls show 38% approve and 58% disapprove

38% is still a large minority, I just don't understand it

In fact, unbelievable. As someone said on YouTube:


It's not about getting the black vote, or the white vote for that matter. It's about fracturing society. A fractured society can't fight back.


It's been happening in India for a long time, 'Divide and Rule'
i.e., divide the people based on caste, religion, etc.

I had always thought the average American was well advanced.
Shucks.

State of Biden’s America

After George Floyd incident: BLM

On Going: CRT

Done: House Passes Police Reform Bill Named After George Floyd

Now Playing: Infrastructure Bill $1.2 trillion – by Executive Order.

In future: Voting Rights Reform – rejected by Senate - for time being

http://youtu.be/YqYK_g23z6I


In this YT, Biden says the 'Republican Party is fractured' with a majority in the Trump camp. It does seem that the Party is now 'unstable' with no clear vision. The Party was divided on Trump during his first 2 years of presidency when they had the majority in the House. Ryan Paul was the biggest wimp I've come across in my life. A career politician, a sophist; he should have been whipped, impeached and crucified on the altar of wimpism ... Then there is Ted Cruz? He cuts such sorry figure. When Trump was racing in the 2016 elections, Texas voted against him. Cruz should be locked up. Then there is Mitch McConnell. The man looks like Kentucky fried chicken, speaks like one; what a disgrace. Look at the rest of the bunch, in their 70s, out of shape, voice trembling. Biden / Pelosi ? They behave younger than this R bunch.

All in all, the Republican is just a Christian party holding on to Christian values instead of forging out visions and goals. Result is they have become defensive even while playing old folks like Biden, Pelosi and others.

If the Republican Party cannot contest the 2024 elections without Trump then they should change their name to Trumpublican Party. High time the Party woke up.

An excerpt from State of Union Address


We have, without hyperbole, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. I’m the first president in 40 years who knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone. Today, we have service members serving in the same war zone as their parents did. We have service members in Afghanistan who were not yet born on 9/11.

The war in Afghanistan, as we remember the debates here, were never meant to be multi-generational undertakings of nation building. We went to Afghanistan to get terrorists -- the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. And we said we would follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell to do it. If you’ve been in the upper Kunar Valley, you’ve kind of seen the gates of hell.

And we delivered justice to Bin Laden. We degraded the terrorist threat of al-Qaida and Afghanistan. And after 20 years of value, valor, and sacrifice, it’s time to bring those troops home.

Even as we do, we’ll maintain over the horizon capacity to suppress future threats to the homeland. And make no mistake, in 20 years, terrorism has metastasized. The threat has evolved way beyond Afghanistan. Those of you in the intelligence committees, the foreign relation community, defense communities, you know well. We have to remain vigilant against the threats to the United States wherever they come from. Al-Qaida and ISIS are in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, other places in Africa, in the Middle East and beyond.

And we won't ignore what our intelligence agency has determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today: white supremacy's terrorism.


We're not going to ignore that either. My fellow Americans, look, we have to come together to heal the soul of this nation. It was nearly a year ago, before her father's funeral, when I spoke with Gianna Floyd, George Floyd’s young daughter. She's a little tyke, so I was kneeling down to talk to her so I could look her in the eye. She looked at me, she said, “My daddy changed the world.”

Well, after the conviction of George Floyd's murderer, we can see how right she was if, if we have the courage to act as a Congress. We have all seen the knee of injustice on the neck of Black Americans. Now is our opportunity to make some real progress. The vast majority of men and women wearing the uniform and a badge serve our communities and they serve them honorably.

I know them. I know they want to help meet this moment as well. My fellow Americans, we have to come together to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the people they serve, to root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system and to enact police reform in George Floyd's name that passed the House already. I know Republicans have their own ideas, and are engaged in a very productive discussion with Democrats in the Senate. We need to work together to find a consensus, but let's get it done next month by the first anniversary of George Floyd's death.

The country supports this reform, and Congress should act -- should act. We have a giant opportunity to bend the ark of the moral universe towards justice, real justice. And with the plans outlined tonight, we have a real chance to root out systemic racism that plagues America and American lives in other ways.

A chance to deliver real equity, good jobs, good schools, affordable housing, clean air, clean water, being able to generate wealth and pass it down to generations because you have an access to purchase a house. Real opportunities in the lives of more Americans, Black, white, Latino, Asian Americans, Native Americans.



So from ISIS to White Supremacy's Terrorism - without a pause.

We have a giant opportunity to bend the ark of the moral universe towards justice, real justice.

Sounds like Kamala Harris words, this 'ark of the moral universe' that needs bending
when he could have simply said like others did, 'turn the moral compass towards real justice'. But no. That would not cover the implication that 'US fighting ISIS overseas is not justifiable unless Americans erase WST at home', right?

I'm beginning to like this President's hyperbole. One may say he laid out a giant egg, or vision; depending on how one wants to read it.

Biden started by saying "without hyperbole" ( unrealistic exaggeration) and then you fallow by saying you enjoy his giant egg, or vision and his hyperbole.

Obama, Trump, and now Biden have all said they will bring the troops home from the middle East. If Biden seems to think we have the "greatest fighting force in history" maybe he should use it to make a statement and clean some things up over there before he brings them home? His son fought over there ( no wonder we have not accomplished more there) at Joe's age he should have Grandkids, or even Great Grandkids fighting over there. There is a huge difference between what foreign terrorist want to accomplish compared to what theses "white supremacists terrorist" want to see happen. The WST want to regain control of their own government and rights, to make America great again!

In 2020 81,000 people died from overdoses, 600,000 have died from Corona virus. And suddenly they blame a police officer for George Floyd's death? He was high as a kite and shoved a hand full of drugs in his mouth with a number of existing health problems. The same people who prosecuted Chauvin should be the ones to blame for Floyd's death. Clearly he should have been being supervised by a parole officer or probation officer, or better yet still locked in jail or prison. The system did fail him, just not in a political circus that it turned into. He should of had regular drug tested at the very least. Floyd was a POS and had little to do with his daughter, nothing about the arrest involved the color of Floyd's skin, yet Biden plays the race card, and the baby kissing card in order to attract attention.

Trump's attempt to create jobs in the US ment leveling the playing field with China. Charging tariffs on their goods, reducing some regulations on US companies, and lowering the corporate tax for US companies while also making fuel (for production and transportation of goods) more affordable. Biden on the other hand wants China to be the dominate economy of the world. His idea of creating jobs is by the government spending trillions of dollars on infrastructure and "green energy". So between healthcare, energy, government programs, and infrastructure pretty much everyone will soon be working for the government. Does that not sound like Socialism? Or even Communism? What direction do the Democrats plan on taking the country?

As far as "Trumpublican" maybe he is the only one who can break down the system to bring back power to the people. Not that long ago the Republican party was going to have Sarah Palin as their future, everyone was all worries the teaparty movement would split and destroy the Republican party. People have short memories and it does not take long for things to change in any direction. Democrats have had similar issues in their past. Personally I would love to see someone even more outside the political circle as our president, or in Congress. It's time to break the two party system, get the career politicians out of office. Mange the country more like a business.

Good write Dust. In fact, finely balanced perspective - altogether.
