Covid spreading with unsecured Southern border, and Biden & CDC tell all to mask up
Biden is poisoning America, guilty of spreading Covid in America because his administration is telling illegals they are welcome at our southern border.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated that the Biden administration is “trying to restrict us as Americans” while being “completely deaf, dumb, and blind to the problem created by COVID through illegal immigration.”
Graham said, “We have travel bans to some of our best allies with a very robust healthcare system. We have absolutely nothing in place regarding illegal immigrants coming from the most severe hotspots in the world with no health care. It doesn’t make any sense. And what I’m trying to do is ask the Biden administration to have an accounting for how they deal with the million coming across, how many are tested, how many are released in the United States. … It doesn’t seem to matter that the border communities are exposed to illegal immigrants. What matters is the Biden administration’s trying to restrict us as Americans and just completely deaf, dumb, and blind to the problem created by COVID through illegal immigration.”

Pelosi to blame for Capitol security 'breakdown' on Jan. 6
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is responsible for the "breakdown" in security at the Capitol during a deadly riot on Jan. 6, and only wants to "stick to her narrative" as she appoints anti-Trump Republicans to the committee investigating the attack, Rep. Jim Banks said Sunday.
Banks, R-Ind., made his claims against Pelosi during an interview on "Fox News Sunday" while responding to Pelosi’s decision to reject him from the Jan. 6 inquiry committee and her intention to appoint Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., to the committee.
"Due to the rules of the United States Capitol, the power structure of the Capitol, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, has more control and authority and responsibility over the leadership of the Capitol police than anyone else in the United States Capitol," Banks said. "So she doesn’t want us to ask these questions because at the end of the day, she's ultimately responsible for the breakdown of security at the Capitol that happened on Jan. 6."
Pelosi as speaker does not directly oversee the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), according to the Associated Press, but does appoint a House sergeant at arms, who is on the Capitol Police Board that oversees the department. The department is also overseen by committees from both houses of Congress.

autopilot...
Lots of websites are designed to run without administrator intervention. One place I've traveled to verifies all new members and photos only for minimal compliance that a person (and not a bot) is on the other end. That doesn't stop new members from using stolen photos of famous people as 20% of the new members are fakes.
Other than a casual visit by administration, CS is in perpetual autopilot mode. The site exists with 1 week probation for new members and blocking some words that are commonly used but considered offensive...
Examples:
A female chicken is a hen and the male is a c*ck. Oops, I mean rooster!
(I'm told that 'c' word is used in the bible but not allowed on many public forums)
Dogs? Bastard is the make dog and b*tch is the female.
I haven't checked and possibly they get blocked.
But... 'shit' gets past the word filter!
Back to the point of this blog. As mortal members we don't know who actually runs the place. A main moderator and some other staff, possibly a programmer or two is what I envision. Months ago, the moderator wiped out dozens of blogs and posted his own to say the site needed to go in a different direction (with less blogs of a certain type) and for a while blogs that didn't comply disappeared. I checked yesterday and the moderator hasn't logged in (to that profile) in months. Reporting bogus profiles is something I do often and going back to see they disappeared within a few days was normal. Something changed as no less than 30 scammer profiles are still here. Some haven't been back since they were created and others are still active. This leads me to believe there is more autopilot than administrative intervention.
That was the beginning of the end on another site. Let's hope it's not a repeat of history on this one.

Letter from ex-US attorney criticizing DOJ handling of election fraud claims surfaces
A former federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania said he disagreed with the Justice Department on how to handle allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities, according to a letter released by ex-President DJT.
William McSwain, who was U.S. attorney of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania from 2018 until January 2021, wrote to DJT in June expressing dismay with what he said were instructions from former Attorney General William Barr himself.
"On Election Day and afterwards, our Office received various allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities," the letter said. "As part of my responsibilities as U.S. Attorney, I wanted to be transparent with the public and, of course, investigate fully any allegations. Attorney General Barr, however, instructed me not to make any public statements or put out any press releases regarding possible election irregularities. I was also given a directive to pass along serious allegations to the State Attorney General for investigation – the same State Attorney General who had already declared that you could not win."
McSwain wrote that he "disagreed with that decision," but noting he was a Marine infantry officer, he added that he would follow his orders from superior even if he did not agree with them.
"U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was precluded from investigating election fraud allegations. Outrageous!" DJT said in a statement of his own.
Barr did issue a memo in November authorizing U.S. attorneys to investigate "substantial allegations" of voting irregularities prior to the certification of elections, but he later said publicly the Justice Department did not find fraud sufficient to alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Barr went on to say he believed DJT's major claims of election fraud were "all bulls—-," according to an article published by the Atlantic last month.
Pennsylvania is one state won by President Joe Biden last year that post-election audits showed no widespread fraud. Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who said the state found "absolutely no evidence" of widespread voter fraud, has been criticized by Republicans for tweeting a couple days before the November election that "DJT is going to lose," although he said that would be if "all the votes are added up" in Pennsylvania.
Efforts are now underway in the GOP-led state Senate to conduct an Arizona-style "forensic investigation," which prompted Pennsylvania's Department of State to warn that any election equipment given to "third-party entities" will be decertified.

Kamala Harris facing White House sabotage - It's a whisper campaign
Top White House officials are mobilizing to defend Vice President Kamala Harris amid a gusher of leaks about dysfunction and infighting in her office.
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told Axios in a statement: "The President's trust and confidence in her is obvious when you see them in the Oval Office together." Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond said in an interview late Thursday night: "It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her."
Their responses came after Axios approached the White House with new reporting about growing tensions between West Wing officials and the Harris team, including chief of staff Tina Flournoy.
Some White House officials have been frustrated by a series of missteps from Harris and increasingly public bickering in her orbit, which spilled out in a Politico story on Wednesday. Flournoy's old boss, former President Bill Clinton, came to her defense with a statement calling her "an extraordinary person."
Why it matters: 2024 is the elephant in the room. While Biden aides overwhelmingly believe he'll be the Democratic nominee, they also know he'd be 81 when seeking re-election.
An operation sometimes visibly out of sync with Biden's — and missteps during a recent trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, following a scrutinized interview with NBC's Lester Holt — have reignited questions from Harris' 2020 primary bid.
Harris would be the presumptive nominee if Biden didn't run. Administration sources believe it would be nearly impossible to unseat the first Black woman vice president.
Yet many Democrats, including some current senior administration officials, are concerned she could not defeat whomever the Republican Party puts up — even if it were Donald Trump.
One Democratic operative tells Axios' Alayna Treene that most Democrats aren't saying, "'Oh, no, our heir apparent is f***ing up, what are we gonna do?’ It's more that people think, 'Oh, she’s f***ing up, maybe she shouldn't be the heir apparent.'"
Some Democrats close to the White House are increasingly concerned about Harris’s handling of high-profile issues and political tone deafness, and question her ability to maintain the coalition that Biden rode to the White House, sources tell Axios' Hans Nichols.
What we're hearing: Relations between the West Wing and the Vice President's office are tense.
Several administration officials used "shitshow" when describing Harris' office, and contrast her operation with disciplined, virtually leakproof Biden aides.
Some Biden officials view the Harris operation as poorly-managed and staffed with people who don't have long-term relationships with her. They feel she's gotten bad advice from her press and communications shop and think it's telling that she's already lost two advance aides and a digital director.

It's none of your goddam business !
It's blistering hot here in New Jersey. OK, maybe not Death Valley hot, but a lot hotter than desired.
Yesterday I played a double header with the minimum number of teammates.
it was hot & humid.
Today a different league had more sense and they cancelled the games today because of the heat.
So, I celebrated by going to the store and buying a cherry Italian ice.
In ironic fashion my next door neighbor realizes that he bought far too many sweet cherries and he
gives me a big bowl of them.
So, I get some ice and a 1/2 gallon of water in a carafe full of the ice.
I log on.
What do I get ? A message that states (I copied & pasted it for you);
Yeah, right. "All we are saying, is give ......" (Chrome) "a chance"
Like I want everything I do tracked by Google.
First of all, how did you "notice" that I have Chrome installed ?
Could it be, that it came with the laptop ? Could it ?
How do you know I'm not using it ?
It appears that just maybe you are ALREADY tracking my activity to some extent.
And you want me to give you MORE access ?
It's not happening.
You do NOT deserve to know anything about me.
While you may think otherwise, it is truly none of your goddamn business and will remain that way !
