You can’t expect to get current and relevant news from political theatre networks like CNN, MSNBC, or Fox. Unfortunately so many people are under the impression that these opinion pieces are legitimate news, and that the slimy talk show hosts blathering divisive nonsense are somehow actual journalists. These people’s job is to manufacture consent for establishment agendas and they do so by inventing social battles for the poor and middle class to fight amongst themselves while they rob them. Anyone with a cable subscription is likely misinformed about the goings-on in the world.
Even Trigger the horse could count better than that. Your name has 11 letters. I know, I counted with my hoof.
Yes, anyone who thinks Biden is a doddering, bumbling fool has a low IQ. Good point! Lol, the arrogance and tone of your post is so not a surprise. “Anyone who doesn’t think like me is a dumb dumb” isn’t exactly peak discourse.
You're excusing corruption solely for political purposes and “my” news sources are biased? Lol Watching the left excuse the same corruption that upset them about Trump is incredibly hypocritical but that’s tribalism for ya.
Biden nominates a domestic terrorist for head of the Bureau of Land Management. https://andmagazine.com/talk/2021/0...nomination-to-head-bureau-of-land-management/ There has been a significant amount of coverage recently of Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as the head of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Tracy Stone-Manning was granted legal immunity back in 1993 for her testimony that she retyped and mailed an anonymous letter to the U.S. Forest Service on behalf of a friend, John P. Blount. The letter warned the Forest Service that trees in an area about to be logged had been spiked, meaning heavy metal spikes had been driven into the trees to deter logging. Per the usual highly partisan coverage, the story is cast as follows. Ms. Stone-Manning made an innocent mistake in allowing herself to be used in this way. She is very sorry. She was never herself a bad actor. There is nothing to see here but an isolated youthful indiscretion. As you might guess, all of this is at very best highly misleading and conceals a number of much more disturbing truths. At the time Ms. Stone-Manning typed the letter in question Ms. Stone-Manning was, in fact, living with Mr. Blount. They were both members of a group called Earth First. Earth First was officially designated a terrorist group by the FBI. Ms. Stone-Manning was not only part of the group; she was the editor of one of its publications. Before mailing the letter Ms. Stone-Manning rented a typewriter and retyped it. She did so by her own admission, because she did want the letter on her personal computer and because her fingerprints were “all over the original.” These hardly sound like the actions of an innocent – unaware of the gravity of her actions. They sound a lot more like those of someone who is an active member of an underground organization involved in illegal activity. Tree spiking is not some innocent prank. It involves hammering metal rods up to ten inches long into trees so that they will be hit when the trees are cut down. Hitting a metal tree spike with a chainsaw will not simply damage or destroy the saw being used. It can result in life threatening injuries to the individual using the chainsaw. The letter Ms. Stone-Manning typed advised the Forest Service that 500 pounds of “spikes measuring 8 to 10 inches in length” had been jammed into the trees of an Idaho forest. It concluded with this warning. “P.S., You bastards go in there anyway and a lot of people could get hurt.” Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, summed up the situation pretty clearly when he said Stone-Manning “colluded with eco-terrorists who conducted extremist operations that aimed to maim and kill Idaho’s loggers and sawmill workers.”
I think you aren't reading carefully or something. Your response here about corruption doesn't have anything to do with me or my post that you responded to. And yes, your news sources appear to be biased. barfo
And Mo Brooks, Josh Harley et al colluded with right wing terrorists who conducted extremist operations that aimed to maim and kill members of Congress, including the out going Vice President. Yet they remain in office, unapologetic and still defiant. Maybe it’s an angry white male thing. See how that works? Where’s your outrage over that, an incident that occurred 6+ months ago instead of 28 years ago?? An attack on an entire country, not just a single profession. The left calls Ms Stone-Manning’s actions a “youthful indiscretion” and the right is outraged. Yet the Right then calls an attempted overthrow by right wing terrorists” a peaceful, polite visit by a group of tourists.” Only in Conservativeville is the truth a lie…… The storming of the Capitol was not some innocent prank either. And people did get killed and injured, including cops. Personally, I care more about what happened this year than what happened last century. But then, that’s just me. But you keep doing you…….nice to have a few more conservatives around to confound and amuse us……
But they were just kids playing with their toys! https://nypost.com/2021/07/07/fbi-seized-us-capitol-lego-set-from-alleged-riot-leader/
In a big week for pandemic relief, Americans just got $20 billion in new aid (yahoo.com)< More money to print and use as napkins.
The most current stimulus package of $250 a month for those with children is just an advance on the child tax credit you receive at the end of the year. Some may want to look into this if they’d rather have the lump sum at tax time. I’m going to opt out I think. It’s kind of being touted as more free money but some people are going to be disappointed come tax time.
Missing the point. Previously families only got the credit if they made enough to owe federal income tax. So the people most in need were excluded. No longer the case.
Some of it is. The child tax credit is now 3000 to 3600 depending on the age of the child. Last year it was 2000.
They could have received up to 1400 out of the maximum 2000 even if they owed no federal tax. This article is from early 2020 but it also applied to 2020 tax year. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/child-tax-credit-by-the-numbers
