President Biden just killed the keystone pipeline and is doing plenty to stop fracking and oil exploration domestically.
promises kept. Make America Dark Again. Unbelievable that a president would move to kill so many jobs with such a precarious economic outlook, but ideology uber alles, I guess.
I liked Trump’s policy agenda, as it were. This one is going to suck big time.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work) -
I recently received a missive from the local elected official who “represents” my area. She was crowing about the imminent opening of a second vaccine administration site.
She failed to mention that she and her peers have committed tax dollars to a vendor for a web site to schedule appointments and that the web site is a dead end. When one registers with the vendor and subsequently visits the site to schedule an appointment for vaccination you are advised, “Thanks for your interest in the COVID-19 vaccine. You are in the waiting room. We will update you based on the availability and priority set by CDPH.” The vendor, Othena, also announces in a large and bold font that they are, “Re-Imagining Clinical Experience”.
Elected officials are only too pleased to return to a pre Trump environment where the standard for the performance of public officials and government institutions is abysmal…and kept quiet. It is appropriate to piss away public funds with incompetent vendors who’s only “deliverable” is a dead end web site that fails to provide any benefit and to ignore said malfeasance by vendors so long as you have an opportunity to distribute self congratulatory communications to voters. {The Emmy winning NY Governor has been delighted to perform as the lead dog in this parade.}
The biggest catastrophe from the 2020 election cycle is the end of accountability for elected officials. The damage will be profound. Cancel the Keystone with the attendant loss of jobs, return to energy dependency on our “friends” in the Middle East & Russia, open the borders to depress middle class wages, destroy market based controls on energy pricing to render our manufacturing sector obsolete and move those supply chains to our political and economic competitors. All as Amazon/Washington Post/Bezos insist that employees must show up in person to participate in an election to decide whether or not the work force should organize. Of course a failure to insist on voter ID in the election would result in an outcome that couldn’t be fair. What a hoot!
Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;

Oh it’s even better. Just wait until the Dems walk back all the tough talk about “doing something” on COVID.
Biden was caught in one of his few public comments this week saying there’s nothing we can do on the Covid trajectory. Wonder if politifact has labeled that a lie yet. You bet it would have been for trump.

Exactly who is running the country right now? With all of the things you mentioned above, who is in charge? Why wouldn’t Biden make a couple of phone calls by now to the west coast governors to put a stop to the riots and looting? Who’s telling him not to?
- Biden
- Obama
- Bernie Sanders
- The K Street big money PACs
- Mike Bloomberg
- Pelosi/Schumer
- Wall St
- Silicon Valley
And in an odd twist of events I believe Tulsi Gabbard will gain enormous clout over everyone should no Republican Senators defect.

Correct re: Gabbard.
also, one had to laugh this week at the re emergence of fauci. He had a great quote about how much freer he feels to say what he needs to say…
…and then proceeded to say nothing new whatsoever. His newfound freedom of speech was merely red meat for the dem base. Didn’t change a thing. Effing bureaucrat.

At that level, every bureaucrat is a politician.

Agreed re: Gabbard. Would have loved to see her as the mandatory female-of-color VP candidate. She had 273,377 votes (finishing 7th), whereas Kamala Harris had 844 total votes (finishing 16th as she pulled out).
If I was Gabbard, I would be furious. She’s basically been patted on the head by Demo leadership, and she doesn’t really have a voice. The Progressives hate her.

Agreed on all counts.
Cancelling the Keystone pipeline was interesting. About 2,500 Canadian jobs, about 10,000 American jobs depended on it. Nice way to treat our neighbors to the north and, oh yeah, increase unemployment in the States.
