Based on John Kerry's recent interview over seas about the Australian subarmine contract, Biden did not know anything about it or understand the political fall out with France. He either deliberately threw Biden under the speeding bus, or the overthrow is starting that many knew were coming. Biden has outlived his usefulness to the left.

All this talk about winnings has me itching for the sound of a Slot! Little over 2 years since headed west to casinos! Field trip in my future. Shame, shame on you for starting this thread. Slot playing is not an investment! (but is fun)

Lots of good data here. I do not see it broke down by ethnic group in each state for a true political decision Trumpers versus the world. As you can see from what I posted about NY State there is a problem with minorities receiving the vaccinations. And again, the states with the lowest vaccination rates are ID, WY, and MT. Overwhelmingly conservative and white. No comment about the rates of republicans vs democrats I quoted. The states with the lowest vaccination rates are in the south and mountain west. Your continued insistence to highlight minority rates is an attempt to distract from the truth. COVID is rampaging through states with low vaccination rates, which are white, conservative, and republican. None of what you have posted changes that. And if you look at the bar graph where rates are broken down by ethnicity, the rates are not that far off. Read the data in post 25. I noticed you failed to reply......... NYC is a democratic fortress of whites and minorities that are all democrats. Other data I posted showed states that voted for Trump also have huge numbers of minorities who refuse the vaccination and all you got are three really small states population wise to fight over. Quit the damn cherry picking of data and admit democrats screwed the pooch on this and their party faithful also refuse the vaccination. 5,500 teachers in NYC are being fired for no vaccines.......

That is harsh by both of you. You feel the same way about teachers, healthcare workers, and doctors who refuse the vaccine? These are educated professionals. Then you have Biden excusing the postal service from getting the vaccine............. If I was adding maybe you too could be collateral damage, via the postal service, I am sure you would pipe in rather harshly. Yes, I feel that anyone who refuses to get vaccinated deserves what happens to them, including my sister. This has gone on far too long. Too many people have worked too hard during this pandemic to provide light at the end of the tunnel, and those that don’t get vaccinated are harming everyone. I have had enough….and I’m not the only one. The democrats have you running so scared you do not use your head anymore. States with the highest vaccination rates are now joining the crowd. www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/virus-surge-hits-new-england-despite-high-vaccination-rates/ar-AAP5Kdn?li=BBnb7Kz

so 75% of democrats must be vaccinated by now. Blacks are barely 60% nationwide. Latin Americans are about the same. Never knew the Republican party was so full of minorities. In truth many Republicans are vaccinated. Many anti vaxxers align with Republican party but are not part of the party. They are not registered as Republicans. They just hate democrats more. Yes, politics play the number one role, but I would guess, religion on the conservative side is a huge number two reason. United airlines just fired 600 employees this week for no vaccination. Were they all white Republicans? Now school systems and hospitals are going to do the same thing. Are they all white Republicans? Hispanic rates are nearing white American rates, over 70%. 90% of Democrats are vaccinated. 55% of republicans are vaccinated. I guess you just do not want to believe it. Of the 15 most vaccinated states, all but 1 voted for Biden. Of the 15 lowest vaccinated states, all but 1 voted for Trump. Idaho and Montana(not known for their diversity) are in the middle of a miserable surge from delta. Given the percent of the population, white republicans are far and away the group most responsible for the poor rates in the most republican states Please post the rates of NYstate by ethnic group. Never mind, I will. covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/vaccine-demographic-data

You do realize even people just streaming can stream Fox News if they want to. I was just showing the actual viewership numbers. Your post specifically says Fox cable news ratings. Yes, because that was the premise of the thread. You responded no one but the elderly watches cable, and everyone streams these days. That does not mean you cannot stream Fox news. And there certainly is a lot of fake news streaming on the internet that liberals love to stream.

you might want to consider Kennedy in this instance.
Kennedy's Bay Of Pigs, according to your logic, would have made him one of the worst presidents ever. but he is not ranked that way.
The longer Kennedy is dead the greater he becomes. Not by the current membership of the Democratic party. They think he was a Republican. How about Obama? it looks like he could get excommunicated due to his middle of the road leadership only12 years ago

Then you have Biden excusing the postal service from getting the vaccine............. If I was adding maybe you too could be collateral damage, via the postal service, I am sure you would pipe in rather harshly. Doctors ahve the highest vaccination rate of anyone, over 96%. And yes, if they are not getting it for a non-medical reason, I think the same thing. They should be part of the solution. No matter how much you want to spread the blame around, the biggest impediment to getting vaccinated is political, and you can superimpose the election results on vaccination rates and get a very good overlap. The vaccine resistors are overwhelming republican. Own it, so 75% of democrats must be vaccinated by now. Blacks are barely 60% nationwide. Latin Americans are about the same. Never knew the Republican party was so full of minorities. In truth many Republicans are vaccinated. Many anti vaxxers align with Republican party but are not part of the party.

So why else aren’t people returning to work? First two articles were dated August 4th. Very few states had ended the federal payment before that, and they show no data proving their thesis. the entire article was almost a tweet in length with Steve Leisman from CNBC just saying HOW GREAT THIS SOURCE HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, but he did not report one stat. WSJ, I Had a paywall and could not look at it.

And there was no difference in changes in unemployment rates in states that stopped them earlier and those that continued them. kind of refutes the claim that they were the cause of the worker shortage Have all the states released data showing the September numbers yet? Federal payments did not stop until after the first week in September. The states that did drop the federal stipend in August would only have early data on everyone in the state. I can believe if you are on unemployment just because you stopped getting the $300 federal payment does not mean you automatically find a job the next week.

I watch black and white Perry Mason rerun late at night. My wife has all episodes of Mason recorded for playback at a convient time. Boy, were things simpler back then. The actual guilty person was always in the court room watching the proceedings and witnesses were never sequestered before being put on the stand Like the get togethers in Perry's office after the case was over where someone is smoking with their drinks in hand discussing how Perry figured the case out. Get a kick out of the huge old cars on the roadways.

Nobody has cable anymore outside of the elderly. Elderly people tend to be more conservative. Everyone else streams their media or read about it on social media. Elderly people tend to be conservative. It's not a huge accomplishment when you consider the demographics. You do realize even people just streaming can stream Fox News if they want to. I was just showing the actual viewership numbers.

is cable news still in a death spiral? I would not be an investor in that market. Fox beats MSNBC and CNN combined, but all three are down from last year. That is due to the election.

Maybe part of it is cable packages. Fox is channel 5 here and included in the most basic package. You have to have at least expanded basic to get CNN. Are you confusing your local Fox channel with Fox cable news? Fox cable may be a freebie, but is usually in the line up near CNN and MSNBC which usually not free, but in the next pricing structure from the cable service.

It will be interesting how Biden is depicted in the position in a five years from now it is a virtual lock that he will rank higher than Bush or Trump. even if he died tomorrow, he probably would. after all, Bush is ranked below Garfield, and Garfield only survived in office for 6 months. LOL, If he died tomorrow, he would be up there with Honest Abe!

Not sure if Greg fits that category. I think he trends towards a younger audience than the usual fox talking heads. His regular group on the stage is a younger age group. He really does not have a lot of Hollywood types or singers appearing as guests. He has a young (to me) group of regulars who are probably in the 30 yr range and the show is a comedic political discussion Greg also is a believer in legalizing drugs, so you do have that in common. Not much else though..........

I’m not saying that you won’t get items that you’re ordering online in a timely manner. I’m saying that with everyone doing it, Ground or lower priority packages will experience additions delays. These bottlenecks are also regional. And you may not know anyone personally who decided not to work and collect benefits last year, but believe me - as someone who works in logistics, tons of drivers did exactly that last year. I know because I had to deal with the fallout on the retail end. One of my good friends is a project manager for a small pharmaceutical company. They were very close to missing a deadline because one of their manufacturers could not get people in the building to work because it was more lucrative for them to not work and collect unemployment. I know most of this happened last year and the additional stimulus money is no longer being given out, but this all has a ripple effect. People aren’t going to instantly start working and the supply chain isn’t going to instantly improve. Haven't all those extra benefits stopped? Or is it still just some states? The extra Federal monthly payment has stopped. I believe some states are still paying beyond their original monthly numbers, and many states had extended months they tacked on that unemployed still received the benefits

Are their polls out there showing the majority of the voters? I understand most democrats are for it, but I do know a few that are saying, "are you kidding me?" And there are polls out there showing a growing number of citizens are concerned with his competance level. I am utterly unconcerned with his competence. I think he is indistinguishable in that respect from every other president in my adult life, with two exceptions. the Republican presidents of this millennia. those two were varying degrees of incompetent. It will be interesting how Biden is depicted in the position in a five years from now
