Trump in 2017: “GDP just released at 2.6 percent. We’re setting economic records and we’re very proud of it”
GDP just hit 4.9 percent under @joebiden.
I've been struggling to put thoughts into words, but this is exactly it: "I think one of the most depressing things for me, and I imagine most Jews right now, is the knowledge (not fear or concern, but verified knowledge) that if my family and I were murdered, you ghouls would debate if we had it coming."
I know there's a lot going on, but the Senate just passed a reckless amendment that would prohibit the enforcement of mask mandates on public transportation at the federal level for the next fiscal year.
Shamefully, 10 Democrats voted in favor of a ban:
Baldwin (D-WI)
Bennet (D-CO
Brown (D-OH)
Kaine (D-VA)
Kelly (D-AZ)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Manchin (D-WV)
Rosen (D-NV)
Shaheen (D-NH)
Tester (D-MT)

War
There's plenty of complexity in war, but some things aren't complicated at all.
Civilians are, categorically, not POWs. And treating civilians as if they were, is a war crime.

BREAKING: A military base in New Jersey is on lockdown because of an active shooter.
Yesterday, a US Army soldier who had previously threatened to shoot up his base went on a shooting spree in Maine. He is still at large.
Maine is a long way from New Jersey, and I guess this is probably just a coincidence. Here in the United States (and nowhere else), mass shootings are a routine occurrence.
