I think they are all petrified of the damage this guy has done to date AND they are scared of what he will do or say next. They don't want it sticking to them, because they know the Republicans will sure as hell put those photos out there. Things are going to get real nasty in November

Biden is a career pathological lier. He has been caught in countless outright lies his entire career. And he has admitted to many when cornered with the facts.
1 year into his Presidency he has already became a lame duck President. His own party distancing themselves from him.
You talk of a man with a pure sole and you can believe that if you want. But in my mind the man has lost any and all credibility due to his incompetence and his severe character flaw. which is the inability to tell the truth.
Once a lier.. always a lier
you just can't trust the guy

having a photo op with Biden is a political kiss of death

President Biden will visit Pittsburgh today. A planned visit. 2 high ranking Democrats who were invited well in advance have said they can't attend due to scheduling conflicts.
It just so happens that these 2 Democrats are up for reelection this year..
And this is not the first time this has happened to Biden this year.
No Democrat who is up for reelection wants to be around this guy..he's poison. And Democrats in general are distancing themselves from him. This is their way of saying the shop is sinking.. and they are jumping ship.

then I apologize, Viper

its a funny , Since Russia and the Ukraine got into this smackdown the omnicron "crisis" has pretty much disappeared from the press

If he were your son would he be a hero, Viper

Lol !!
I don't know about you but here its chicken that can't be found.. there's no chicken!

invade Denmark for minerals, oil, treasures....
no...cheese
we need their cheeses.
God knows if our empty shelves continue we will be raiding other countries just for their grub.

when one of my sons went to college we both took out loans. Mine was a parent plus loan that took forever to pay off. We both paid off our loans. You signed on the dotted line. you understood the terms
now pay the friggin loan. period

yep, our Predident " the buck stops here" President, the " tough guy in the aviator sunglasses" President gives Putin a " please don't hurt us" list.....
Biden is not strong enough to lead and he is not calling the shots.
I think for the first time in history if you ask Americans to give you a honest answer as to who is leading the country the answer would be
" I don't know"

When the new mayor of NYC started at the 1st of the year he stated that he would bring back the anti crime division in the police department. That was met by a threat from the leader of the NYC BLM chapter he said " if the anti crime division is reactivated we will burn down this city. There will be riots and blood in the streets"
The anti crime division was cut with the defund the police movement and major crimes have sky rocketed.
Now by nature police are usually on " defense " meaning they respond to crimes that have already happened.. for the most part.
The anti crime division on the other hand is on " offense" they are the ones doing the " buy and bust" for drugs and guns. they are the ones who go after gangs. They are the under cover cops in the streets, subways, parks and stores, transportation hubs, ect ... to prevent crimes from happening or to immediately act when they are happening.
to protect the public.
So you have to ask yourself " why would BLM have a problem with that?. Why would any law abiding person have a problem with that.
The answer is also very clear, the overwhelming majority of people that will be arrested are...black...why?.. because they are committing these crimes. BLM knows this.. the Dems know this. everybody knows this.
But in today's warped world. you can know it. just don't say it.
I commend the mayor for reactivating the anti crime division. As for those who will be arrested they are going exactly where they belong.. Rikers Island or the Brooklyn house of detention.
2 very bad places.. built to hold very bad people

I do not believe for 1 minute that Russia will not retaliate if these " crippling" sanctions are inposed in them. And I doubt many Eurpoeans do either
Unfortunately we ( the U S) have learned that you do not have close a pipeline to disrupt or stop oil flow.. you just have to hack the computerized network. which they did to us. Along with many other American entities that were hacked and held ranson To the point where our esteemed President gave Putin a list of entities which he didn't want hacked. The Russians have already thought this thru and they have no intentions of just taking all these sanctions without returning the favor
would any country?

well yes, he thinks we are very stupid.
Right before Thanksgiving he announced in grand style the release of 50 million gallons of oil from the national reserve. This to bring the price of gas down...which it did. about $0.10 a gallon. And soon as we burnt thru that the price went right back up. A smoke and mirror very short term fix to a problem he created.But remember he is smart. we are not.
now the national reserve is just that.. to be used as a fall back in case of a catastrophic event or war
it is a insurance policy.
The Biden administration added that the " borrowed" oil will be replaced.. over the years.
A smoke and mirrors insult to our intelligence

today the 2nd police officer who was shot in the Bronx died
His organs were harvested from his body ( per his wish) to be used to save others
not a hero, heh BLM..........
both of these cops were only in their mid 20's
the shooter who was killed by a 3rd cop shot the cops with a stolen handgun. he also had a stolen AK- 47 under his mattress and he had a lengthy criminal record. The first 2 cops never had a chance to even get a shot off

I'm all for solar and wind power. Any alternative or substitute for oil is good,but we are neive to think we will not need oil. oil is used every manufacturing industry. Most every machine needs oil. Even some of our meds are petroleum based. Rubber, plastics,hydrolics, lubricants.. oil...oil..oil.

There are alot of players and Russia and China have alot of leverage and influence. There is no garentee that just because Biden asks for more oil.. they will give more oil. I don't think many world leaders actually respect or trust him.
If oil is cut to Europe in the winter months it could be deadly. I have been to Germany a few times in the winter... very very cold.

I don't see any indication that it will go down...and stay down. This industry, like every industry is run on supply and demand. when the demand goes up so does the prices.
And these oil producing countries are not going to just increase production with out a premium price tacked on..
Biden went from " we will reduce our oil consumption!!..to begging OPEC to produce more oil for us to now purchase.. in less then 1 year.

Biden is now in contact with other oil producing countries to see if they will be able to increase output and serve Europe should Russia cut production to retaliate against any sanctions.
The Middle East, Asia were mentioned along with the U.S.
I'm guessing Biden is regretting canceling the Keystone pipeline right about now. you know the one he canceled on his 2nd day in office to appease the green folks, and without giving any serious though into the long term ramifications of that move. We used to be oil independent.. now we are not.
Where are you going to get the oil from Joe.. and at what price.
This is just one reason why the word " incompetent " started to be thrown around... worldwide

When I was growing up in NYC the violent crime was out of control.
During a press conference with the mayor and others on that subject the police commissioner Ben Ward was asked " who is doing these crimes" He paused and then said " o.k.lets stop the sharade, these crimes are being committed by black people against black people".The so called black activists really had no comment. they were pissed, but didn't say much because Ben Ward....was black. Abd he was telling the truth. And they didn't want to take on guy who could easily prove it.
And its been 45 years and nothing has changed
