Rocky, I hope you and your wife have a full and speedy recovery. I look forward to your posts, soon.
GR, glad you are asymptomatic and that your wife’s case is mild, what a relief!
President Roosevelt held the record for the most executive orders signed in the first month of his presidency. Biden broke that record…in two weeks.
The number of executive orders signed by each president in their first month in office, except for Biden which covers his first two weeks:
Roosevelt (30)
Biden (28)
Obama (16)
Truman(13)
Trump (12)
GW Bush, Carter, Kennedy, Johnson (7)
Eisenhower, Clinton (6)
Reagan, Ford, Nixon (5)
GHWBush (2)
[quote quote=4249]It’s really about pandering to the base….keeping a campaign promise no matter how flawed the logic. My question- would Joe kill the pipeline if St. Obama approved it? Killing the pipeline does nothing but strengthen our enemies, drive up domestic energy costs and consumer prices. Oh- jobs. That’s a damn fine policy move to eliminate jobs in the middle of a job killing pandemic.[/quote]
And ruin our relationship with Canada. Wasn’t it Crazy Joe Biden who wanted to “rebuild America’s relationship with our allies?” Guess Canada isn’t an ally.
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!
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.
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.
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.

[quote quote=4225]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.[/quote]
At that level, every bureaucrat is a politician.
I think foreign-born immigrants are between five and six times more likely to vote Democrat than Republican:
At least it would bring back the lives of all the Union soldiers and all the money spent to eliminate slavery. Or do white folks get reparations from those losses?
Just kidding. I know white folks would never get reparations. And it’s never reported, somehow, that on a per capita basis, African Americans are ten times as likely to kill a white person as a white person is to kill a black person (FBI’s own statistics).
At least there is a rock-solid, ultra-popular VP who had all of 844 total votes in the country (no kidding, look it up on the attached link) and finished 16th in the Democratic primaries. That’s the person who will end up leading the country.

Carson King gave away $1 million+ to charities, including a children’s hospital in Des Moines. A piece-of-garbage writer for the Des Moines Register named Aaron Calvin ruined King’s life by exposing two racist tweets that King had forwarded as a mid-teenager.
My absolute favorite part of the story is that Calvin was fired from the DMR for his own offensive tweets. See, Calvin’s own statements mocked same-sex marriage, domestic abuse and included a racial slur. Gotta be careful hurling stones in glass houses there, Calvin…
A couple of thoughts.
- First and foremost, Trump was and is dead wrong with respect to referring to the 2020 Presidential election as a stolen election, insofar as a “stolen election” is classically understood. The Democrats didn’t steal it. He lost it. And he lost it by repeatedly shooting himself in the foot in virtual every form of communications in every format in every conversation with the media, with opponents, with supporters and with everyone who could be considered “Elite.”
- That said, the Democrats very successfully gamed the system, as they’ve been trying to do for decades, as have the Republicans. The Democrats are just better and more successful at it.
- Trump has NOT done permanent damage to the democracy or the voting system any more than Hillary Clinton did permanent damage when she repeatedly claimed that Trump was an illegitimate president “and he knows it.” Trump convinced a few thousand idiots to go along with his hallucinations. He and they deserve to be jailed and Trump’s legal woes will continue at the state and Federal level.
- BTW, it still pales in comparison to the summer of violence sponsored by the Democrats and all of their related entities, Big Media, Progressives and the like. Very, very few Dems criticized it, and quite a few lefties publicly approved (like Cuomo “Where does it say protest has to be peaceful?” It’s in the First Amendment, dumbass, where it says “the right of the people peaceably to assemble”
- At the same time, the perfidy committed by the Democrats surrounding the 2016 election led to all of this, and they will never, ever be called to account for their chicanery. Ever.
- Most importantly, 74 million people held their nose and voted from Trump. HARRIS/biden won by the skin of their teeth, but they’re acting as if they have a mandate. Some of the Dem media (but I repeat myself) have noticed that HARRIS/biden didn’t win 155 million to zero, and they’ve paid lip service to it, but there are an awful lot of people who are disenfranchised in this country.
- And one last little thing to think about. Trump would have been re-elected if any of the three had happened (a) No once-in-a-century pandemic (b) anyone other than Biden were running against him — remember, in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, Kamala Harris got 128 votes and Trump got 1,217 as a write in and (c) Trump wasn’t such a flaming a-hole in public.
Oh, it gets better. Much better. The homeless are classified as 1b, in terms of priority of receiving the coronavirus vaccine. That means, they are in front of people who have worked diligently their entire careers, avoided laziness and self-destructive behaviors.
And let’s keep in mind that these folks are permanently outdoors, so are already ‘socially distancing’ so to speak. They already have lower infection rates:

Agreed. Curious to know who will be the successor and what their arguments will be to depose Breed and Boudin.
As long as Newsom can have dinner at the French Laundry, he doesn’t give two sxxts about forcing an SIP on the rest of us.
California’s clergy is about to defy him, though, thanks to the recent U. S. Supreme Court decision:
