Watch the portion of him talking about gun control. Nancy starts doing this weird thing with her mouth and hands as she gets a head start on a standing ovation. Thats what mental illness looks like.

At what point do you realize who wrote his speech?

I finally got a chance to listen to it last night... I tried to listen to it live, but I was in Oklahoma and had very poor phone service.

It was a lot of nothing, but at least we are with the Uranians.

The next day, I seriously can't recall much of anything from it. Lots of stumbling and slurring of words.

And now the party that actively pushed to defund the Police is wanting to defend the Police.

It's becoming obvious that many members of the Biden Administration and Congress are bought and paid for by the communists in Russia and China.

This level of stupid decision making cannot be accidental.

What is happening now is just a taste of what's to come when China makes it's move.

As a highly "pedantic" point of clarification Joe, the Russian Federation Duma, (Parliament), and the Russian Federation Council, (roughly equivalent to our Senate), is comprised of only about 13% of the Коммунистическая Партия Российской Федерации , (Communist Party of the Russian Federation ).

Vladimir Putin's party, Единая Россия, (United Russia) has a majority of 54% and can probably best be described as "Russian nationalist and statist", his opponents even refer to it as "Putinism", but it certainly isn't communism. (Putin himself has been quoted as saying: "Communism is a failed idea at the end of a blind alley").

Whether or not the Коммунистическая Партия Российской Федерации and the CCP owns Brandon and the Left in our Congress is still a good question though.

Thanks for the explanation randye.

I hope the West isn't about to be tag-teamed.

Jen Psaki and US oil production specifics/facts
With all the disinformation going round and round and round making me dizzy from both sides, I'm curious about point #8

quote
8. The only way to protect US over the long term is to become energy independent. That is why the President is so focused on deploying clean energy technologies that don’t require fossil fuels bought and sold on the global market, which will always be vulnerable to bad actors.


You're not going to be energy independent and avoid bad actors when:
  • 1.) All the batteries (metals and material to make)
  • 2.) Solar cells/panels
  • 3.) Transfer switches
  • 4.) Electronic control panels
  • 5.) Generator heads
  • 6.) LCDs/Touchscreens
  • 7.) Etc...

ARE MADE IN/COME FROM F'N CHINA!
And their cheap manufacturing costs because they're made in a country that does not have an EPA nor regulations put on those businesses in those fields. Hazardous waste and containment taxes anyone? Paris Climate Accords, how has China committed? Are they not building 43 more coal-fired power plants? Or are they doing that under leftist guidance due to all the sand they're going to be melting to make a lot of multi/single crystalline glass panels for solar? 2030 deadline. Build the stuff there, send them $$$$$$, use newly imported trained labor coming over south the border (eliminate/bypass whitey/the locals) to install?
(I'm saying that because throughout history THAT is what happens)

Build Back Better may have stuff in it that they say will be used on US soil, but it all smells of Solyndra. Money coming right back to democrats. Who's gonna get that money? What happened with the auto industry bailout?

Whatever happened to the alternative Whopper? Notice how kids are used in vegan commercials? I'm a kid so if I like it...
Breakfast sausage sandwich

Burger


mmmh, Mmmh, MMMH good!

I'm all for alternative renewable energy. But transition needs to happen slowly and be hybrid. Wind/solar is nothing what could be coming out next. Let market and innovation do the talking. But one thing is for DAMN sure, there's gonna be a lot of rich grandchildren/great-grandchildren of politicians.

Edited: for spelling

People who make statements about the Chinese or Russians owning our politicians enough to influence a SOTU address are low information voters. Nothing says msm more than making that statement.

MSM includes talk radio, people. It isn't just the TV. It's print media including internet.

The people and country that own our politicians have owned them for decades.

China and Russia don't open our borders, run Hollywood, run Big Pharma, run the Fed Reserve, sit on our fed courts, sue states to create activist social changes.

I agree with pretty much everything you said... but wanted to address this.

It's called the Impossible Whopper. It's actually really good. I'd honestly say that I actually like it better than the normal Whopper, which is also still awesome. The good thing is that it literally has no cholesterol. Still tons of fat and whatever... but basically no cholesterol... which is huge for someone like me who's now in their early 40s and needs to start watching such things.


I'm all about changing to whatever it is, whenever... (renewable energy, etc.). The problem is... Government will NEVER succeed through coercion.... NEVER. The Government can fund projects, create something... but it can never successfully force people. The only concept in history that can, is Capitalism.

The internet was created by DARPA, but was BUILT by Capitalism.
The electric car was pushed by US Government, but SUCCEEDED by Capitalism (Tesla)
Recycling was pushed by the U.S. Government, but SUCCEEDED by Capitalism (automated recycling / sorting systems, like used by Waste Management)

China continues to exert damaging influence on Hollywood, report finds

quote
A new report has found that the Chinese government’s influence on Hollywood is posing a serious threat to free expression.

The 94-page study, from the literary and human rights group Pen America, details the many ways that studios and film-makers continue to change “cast, plot, dialogue and settings” in an “effort to avoid antagonising Chinese officials” in films including Iron Man 3, World War Z and the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.

“The Chinese Communist party is increasingly shaping what global audiences see,” said James Tager, deputy director of free expression research and policy at Pen America, also a lead author of the report. “While we are all well aware of the strict controls that China’s government maintains over dissent, independent thought and creativity within its own borders, the long arm of Chinese censorship – powered by vast economic incentives – has also reached deep into Hollywood, shaping perceptions, inculcating sensitivities and reshaping the bounds of what can be shown, said and told.”

Through dozens of interviews and case studies, the authors explain the many changes that have been forced upon films before they are granted a release into a lucrative market. LGBT content was removed from Bohemian Rhapsody, Star Trek: Beyond, Alien: Covenant and Cloud Atlas, scenes where Chinese people were killed were taken out of Skyfall and Mission: Impossible III and a major character was changed from Tibetan to Celtic in Doctor Strange, a decision made by the screenwriter to avoid the risk of “alienating one billion people”.
