Our Navy is still vastly superior. And when you throw in our allies — China’s only major ally is North Korea — we outdistance them quite spectacularly.
And Biden’s approval rating dips further:

He started at 57% approval, now at 42% approval…

Biden’s approval rating dumped. Again. Down to 38% from 49% six months ago, and down 1% from last month.
He’s very, very unpopular.
[quote quote=5380]A Gallup poll from a couple weeks ago confirms the KFF survey:
There are also other studies correlating counties that voted for Trump with having much lower rates of vaccination. Similarly, counties in California that voted to recall Newsom had much lower rates. Why are Republicans hesitant? I’m sure there’s some “my freedom” element and some correlation with not trusting the government. But as I said several months ago, there’s also a lot of anti-vax propaganda coming from right wing media — and not just the fringe, but mainstream conservative media like Fox. Long story short, I don’t really care what Biden or Psaki have to say about it at this point. I’m sure you can nitpick about things they could have done better, but if I suggest, ask, or beg you to do something — and you have ample time and opportunity to do it — and you still refuse, the fault is not mine.[/quote]The first two politicians that I saw that flat out stated that they wouldn’t get vaccinated were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden during the “town hall.”
My father in law (Stanford, ’53 and ’57) is 85, and his aging has been painful to watch. He was an engineer at NASA (materials science, worked on Mercury and Gemini), worked on Galileo, a number of other large scale projects. Very funny guy, great with a crowd, superb public speaker, and in fact NASA ended up having him in that role.
Today, my wife goes over everything he writes, because it’s 60% mistakes. She has two sisters, one who is incapable of fending for herself, much less her parents and the other has two toddlers (kids at age 50, go figure) and sits on Fortune 500 boards. So it all falls on my wife, to take care of both of her parents. Really difficult to watch. They fight the lack of capacity, and don’t believe that their mental acuity has waned, even as the evidence is right in front of them, along with the expected physical changes.
And then there’s COVID. Sucks getting old.
Someone from the NFL took these e-mails and leaked them. Not sure if there’s a protective order (there should have been). I guess in this day and age, there aren’t going to be any repercussions from taking something produced pursuant to an internal investigation into sexual harassment / misconduct by the WFT and turned against someone who wasn’t working for them at the time (and hasn’t been accused of sexual harassment / misconduct). There are 650,000 e-mails, as the two commenters have said. I wonder who else’s e-mails will get leaked. Anyhow, Jon Gruden should be on the phone to a lawyer.
When I hear about these things, I think about Donald Stirling’s girlfriend, who recorded his comments and replayed them which are against California law (Stirling neither knew about nor consented to the recordings).
I don’t believe that his mistress, V. Stiviano (born María Vanessa Perez, a/k/a Monica Gallegos, a/k/a Vanessa Perez, a/k/a Maria Valdez) was ever charged or prosecuted with a crime, despite having recorded his private comments without his permission.
There have been 2x as many American COVID deaths on Biden’s watch as on Trump’s watch (dating from election results). 242,303 up to the 2020 election, 485,407 afterward (and counting). Waiting for a White House reporter to ask Jen Psaki to confirm that.
And just in case the Republicans remain obstreperous in their efforts to prevent the Democrats from spending the country into submission, the Dems are about to mint a (no kidding) $1 trillion coin. I think I’ll invite Janet Yellen over for dinner on the off chance the coin falls in between the sofa cushions…
No. Will it happen, probably. My ancestor was a POW, held by the Rebels. Will his heirs get reparations for his service and hardship?
Caucasians aren’t worthy, or so I’m told.
i thought the British official response to their 800 years of mistreating the Irish was illuminating. Essentially the same as this:
Lefties…or Progressives…should think of it this way (and some of them probably do). If it weren’t for COVID, Trump would be on his second term. If it weren’t for Biden Trump would be on his second term. No other Dem could have beaten Trump, only the old hair-sniffing, shuffling, senile, demented Joe Biden who selected the #16 finisher in the New Hampshire primary as his running mate.
Bill Maher hates California agriculture. We have enough water, we give way too much of it to farmers:
Look, people come here because they want a better life. I’ve been in most of the decent, industrialized nations in this world, and I wouldn’t live in any of them, if I had the chance to live in the United States. Does that mean we need to accept every single individual who wants to come here?
Maybe not since the 60’s. I’d say we were unified in WWII, the Depression, the 1950s, WWI, and earlier.
Curious to see how the lack of punishment of Gen. Milley affects the military forces of China, Russia and the United States. His offense was jaw-dropping. Why should there be any discipline in our military if the Chairman of the JCS can flaunt disregard for laws? Why should there be any restraint on the part of China and Russia, when we have such a sxxt show over here?
