... What a legend...

This was the person I had hoped Biden would choose as his running mate.
I was told by someone on here, that it wouldn't happen. He backed Tulsi, who incidently did not even run in the primary in Hawaii.

Biden's selection of Harris not only indicates his current ability to choose wisely, but his ability to respect
people who go against him. Harris's debates with Biden were famous.

She has good intentions (unlike the horrendous "so-called" president we currently have) and she has pure fire in her belly. She is very motivated to make changes for the better, and not the type to take b.s. from anyone. What a shame she won't be the one prosecuting our current "so-called" president. If she wasn't getting VP, I had hoped Biden would have made her attorney general (AG).
She was AG in California for 6 years and is currently serving this nation as a US senator.

Last year she said;

During her presidential bid, she stated that, "I’m running to fight for Medicare for All, universal pre-K, debt-free college & more. To guarantee middle-class families a pay increase of up to $500/mo with the largest working-class tax cut in decades — paid for by reversing this Admin’s gifts to big corporations & the top 1%".

She has also stated "We have a president who believes in science fiction. I believe in science fact. Climate change is real and we're in the midst of a climate crisis. We need a #GreenNewDeal and as president, on day one, America will rejoin the Paris Agreement."

Kamala also said, "Health care should be a right for every American, not just a privilege for those who can afford it. Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda couldn’t be more clear. He has separated families. Locked children in cages. Sought to spend billions on his border wall, which is nothing more than a vanity project. That is not reflective of our values and it has to end."

We are here knowing that we are at an inflection point in the history of our world. We are at an inflection point in in the history of our nation. We are here because the American Dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before.
We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question: Who are we? Who are we as Americans?
So, let’s answer that question. To the world. And each other. Right here. And, right now.
America, we are better than this.
When we have leaders who lie and bully and attack a free press and undermine our democratic institutions that’s not our America. When white supremacists march and murder in Charlottesville or massacre innocent worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue that’s not our America. When we have children in cages crying for their mothers and fathers, don't you dare call it border security, that’s a human rights abuse and that’s not our America. When we have leaders who attack public schools and vilify public school teachers that’s not our America. When bankers who crashed our economy get bonuses but workers who brought our country back can't even get a raise that’s not our America.
And when American families are barely living paycheck to paycheck, what is this administration’s response? Their response is to try to take away health care from millions of families. Their response is to give away a trillion dollars to the biggest corporations in this country. And their response is to blame immigrants as the source of all our problems.
And guys lets understand what is happening here: People in power are trying to convince us that the villain in our American story is each other. But that is not our story. That is not who we are. That’s not our America.
Our United States of America is not about us versus them. It’s about We the people!
And in this moment, we must all speak truth about what’s happening.
Seek truth, speak truth and fight for the truth.

Today in Salon;



Check out the video;

I am surprised to see how many here are still fighting the outdated battle of Democrats vs Republicans. That is so outdated. Many Democrats are abandoning their party to side with President Trump. Some Republicans are undercutting President Trump, putting their own economic interests far above party loyalty. The two opposing party system is desolving into chaos, with only out of touch and ill informed voters blindly following party line voting.

After over 1,000 major corporations pressured Facebook to limit pro-Trump posts, it seems the old idea of who is the party of the common man vs who is the party of Big Business has shifted too. As Pepsi, the NFL, Facebook, Apple, and other mega corporations "take a knee" and support Biden, it becomes obvious that the Republicans are no longer the "Party of Big Business" as they were seen to be in the past.

The new reality is that the battle is between globalists and Nationalists. The international opportunists who are getting rich off the China trade, from both parties, are attacking President Trump for limiting China's plundering of our economy. Some want the US Public Health to guard American health, while others want to follow the lead of the World Health Organization. Globalists want to dissolve National borders, and provide health services, welfare, and education to anyone who walks into the USA and demands them. But they never say who will pay for all that. But we know it is the American tax payer.

That roughly corresponds to political Elite vs the average citizen, those who would revoke Constitutional rights against believers in American democracy. Profiteering against freedom. Regardless of which Constitutional right is attacked first, it will not stop there, but continue to destruction of other rights.

What do you think? Do you think? Opposing views welcomed, but rudeness will be deleted.

What has the world become. A million years to climb out of the trees and caves and now man is returning to them. Gangs take over and run rampant. The un-developed countries flood north to take over developed, leaching off the lib fools using hard working taxpayers money to pamper them. Meanwhile the illegals demand it all, refuse to let go of their proud homeland, , and will take any cash they can get to send home so support their family and when they have enough to live well..hi it back to those countries.
Meanwhile homeless and poor get shown the door.
Major cities that once were Americas pride are now garbage dumps filled with muggers, looters, shop lifters, druggies and traffickers. So main corporations, companies and citizens flee to safer, non lib states and towns.
A major Chicago building, next to the old Sears tower, just sold at 90% of what it had been bought for.
Stores can't lose any more good, risk employees safety and hang it up. Illegals wander into suburbs either robbing or knocking on doors demanding food, clothes or cash.
Now cities are looking to raise taxes to take care of illegals. And when the money and handouts run out, what will a million illegals be doing?
Yet we have bleeding hearts demanding government do more for people who hate America. Biden looks at raising taxes and spending more. Mom told me when I was a kid, Dems are the party of tax and spend. Man, was she right!
Bidenomics is booming. Meanwhile down on the streets, stores raise prices and offer less. Wages go up and costs go up. Rents rise so people chose rent or food. Big Pharma invents pills and a disease to shove them at you for. Never heard of it, but, hey..believe the ads..you suffer from it.
People are spending. Savings. Credit cards. But, both are maxing out. Then what? Censorship is alive and well. Say the wrong thing and get deleted. Pretty soon, the people will be deleted. Soylent Green anyone. Oh, right, you don't deserve the good crackers. You ARE the good crackers.
Be a whistle blower in the US now and end up Putinized.
Work hard and watch your company close. Get a raise and see that automaton move in to take your job.
Read about the inflation my dad lived through in Germany after WW1. He always said the US would go the same route. He was right.

Leave it to Biden to nominate a man who hates America, celebrates people who kill cops, oh yeah, and who also hates Jews to be a federal judge. By now, this administration should have figured out that nominating people based on which woke boxes they check off is a mistake. But they have not because you know, they're Democrats.

And Biden is nothing more than a Botox-filled puppet doing the bidding of someone else; we don't even feel the need to adjust our tinfoil saying that at this point.

Someone thought nominating Adeel Mangi was a good idea.

Someone was wrong.

Sen. John Kennedy ain't havin' none of it. Watch:

Adeel Mangi is not qualified to be a federal judge because he supports organizations that celebrate people who kill law enforcement officers, hate Americans, and hate Jews.

It’s not Islamophobic to recognize that. It’s our job.

The investigation into the Biden family is vitally important for one main reason; did President Biden receive money from his son Hunter and his brother Jim - money that came from China, Ukraine, Romania, and, perhaps, Russia? Money that was secretly sent through a variety of complicated "shell corporations" and which Hunter Biden has admitted he failed to declare on his tax returns. The amount of cash involved could be as high as $20 million.
If Joe Biden received any part of that hidden money, he would have to resign and could be charged with a variety of tax and conspiracy crimes.
That's it. The Hunter and Jim Biden business is bad but does not rise to national security levels.
Here's what we know to be true about this very troubling situation.
- If the Democrats had won the House in 2020, there would be no Congressional investigation into the Biden's. The entire party is deeply invested in protecting the President. Democrats have absolutely no interest in finding out if their leader used his power as then Vice-President to enrich himself and his family.
- At this point, there is no public evidence that Joe Biden benefited financially from his son and brother's grifting. No mention of any monetary gifts is on Biden's publicly released tax returns.
- Attorney General Merrick Garland has consistently helped the Bidens in the matter. First, by refusing to order two U.S. Attorneys, Matthew Graves in D.C. and Martin Estrada in California, to cooperate with U.S. Attorney David Weiss - the lead investigator In Delaware. Both Graves and Estrada, nominated by Biden, told Weiss they would not help him even though Weiss had evidence that Hunter received tainted money in their districts.
Merrick Garland could have forced Graves and Estrada to participate in the investigation. He did not. Extremely unusual.
In addition, it took five long years for Weiss to bring low-level charges against Hunter, to which he has pleaded guilty. Garland signed off on the light prosecution despite saying he wasn't involved - which is nonsense.
By the way, the Florida judge hearing the case, Maryellen Noreika, may reject the plea deal. This has the Justice Department on edge.
And there's more.
The wife of Washington DC U.S. Attorney Graves, Fatima Goss Graves, has visited the Biden White House 28 times, according to visitor records. That's extraordinary and an obvious conflict of interest that Merrick Garland apparently allows. Again, there are credible allegations that Hunter Biden secured overseas payments in the District of Columbia.
Ms. Graves is a far-left activist who runs the "National Women's Law Center." For this, she is paid more than $400,000 annually plus expenses.
Fatima Graves has donated money to Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and Mandela Barnes. She is powerful inside the Democratic Party. She has not been called to testify under oath before the Congressional Committees investigating the Biden's. Obviously, she should be.
Because her husband works closely with Attorney General Garland, there is suspicion she is acting as a conduit between the Justice Department and the White House in the Hunter matter. Her visits to Pennsylvania Avenue need to be clarified for the American public.
Finally, the corrupt corporate media in America is not engaged in finding out what happened here. Compare coverage of the Biden family story to the Trump investigations. The Justice Department and FBI devoted massive resources to uncovering alleged crimes centered on Donald Trump. The press enthusiastically reported every morsel.
Recently, President Biden sat for an interview with NBC News. The questioner was MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
She did not ask one question about the Hunter Biden investigation.

A Russian peasant has 4 evils to strangle against: winter, spring, summer, autumn.

The last winter 16 regions experienced weeks and months without central heating and water, both warm and cold. In terms of Russia, it's many thousands. We can call it "winter".

The most of the heating infrastructure was built in the Soviet times and now just failing because of old age. What was built under later times.... well, as I said somewhere else, 60-85% from every project got stolen...You can call it “corruption”.

Now, there's corruption before. Petr the first decreed: "Whoever would steal a rope, will be hung on that rope..." and it didn't work. Not that they stopped stealing. And not that they stopped hang for stealing. It just didn’t work.

But under putler's times it – corruption - assumed gargantuasque proportions:

This time of year, the snow is melting and south Ural is sitting under water. I checked Guardian and found nothing on the subject. Hence, the inquiring minds are to check "Russian links".

There were dams. They didn't hold. The authorities said: "A rodent gnaw throw it" about one dam (built 10 years ago). And "The citizens took the stuff from" about the other. They evacuated people in the middle of the morning: one second you are there in a nightgown and slippers... the other second - you are in a boat and it is. The rescuers are not allowed to take pets in the boats.

*I will not start about roads and aqueducts built by Romans 2 tou… before our time…*

There are videos, when a rescuers boat came to the area days after and a man tears off tales of a roof with his bare hands – are they’nt supposed to have tools? - in order to free a cat captured under. There was about 3 cm left for the cat to breath.

Yes, corruption kills. Not only animals. Do you know how many old, handicapped, bed-ridden people got under along with the bound / caged animals? Neither do I.

(Do we have to bother at all about handicapped old people and bound animals?)

But our site is a site of good news: so, some of animals were rescued.

And to continue the happy news: while some areas in Russia are getting under water, the other areas are starting to experience grass- and forest fires. Because as always.


Less happy news are: the same category of men working in heating-maintenance, rescue-teams, building et cetera. Now, the wages in those positions are low, you can’t support your family on.

They promise, and at some occasions, they pay more money, that a usual blue-color worker will earn in his life. And they don’t tell about “meat attacks”. They say: you’ll be guarding a military supply store long in the country.

Well… an early spring…
