Why 2022 will be different. Republicans cemented their grip on power for the next decade.

Why 2022 will be different. Republicans cemented their grip on power for the next decade. So the Democrats think that they are in the drivers seat. Under Obama the Republicans won over 1,000 state and local seats. In 2018 the Democrats won only 300 some. But this past November the Republicans won back almost 500 seats.

Democrats failed to flip any of the legislative chambers they targeted and Republicans came out of election night in nearly the best possible position for drawing districts, according to an analysis by FiveThirtyEight, and will have the opportunity to draw 188 congressional seats, 43% of the House of Representatives. Democrats will have a chance to draw at most just 73 seats. Republicans will probably also be able to draw districts that will make it more difficult for Democrats to hold their majority in the US House in 2022.

And in closing, The Democrats have four Senate seats that look vulnerable. Arizona-Mark Kelly, New Hampshire- Maggie Hassan, Nevada- Catherine Cortez Mastro, and Colorado- Michael Bennett.

Union thug says it’s not safe to be in school so she goes on vacation.

Union thug says it’s not safe to be in school so she goes on vacation. This is almost as bad as the crying teacher crying for his mommy. A leader of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) wants kids to remain out of the classroom because schools are “unsafe,” but she made the claims in the midst of a sunny vacation in Puerto Rico.

We have this from WGN via Breitbart.

“Just a few hours earlier, Chambers posted a picture on Instagram that appears to show her pool side in Puerto Rico and talking about going to Old San Juan for seafood,” WGN reported.

In a post on Instagram — on an account that has now been made private — Chambers wrote, “Spending the last day of 2020 by the poolside. We have the whole pool to ourselves. Then, we are going to old San Juan to get some yummy seafood mofongo.”

On Twitter, Chambers identified herself as a “socialist.”

“We have an entire private Airbnb house to ourselves,” she bragged in a post that showed her feet at the end of a lounge chair, with the pool and palm trees in the background.

On Friday, it is predicted to be 35 degrees where her students live in Chicago, according to Weather.com.

In another post, Chamber mugged for the camera from her towel with a caption that read, “Pool life.”

WGN noted the CTU “is threatening the possibility of a strike if the district pushes ahead with plans to reopen school buildings.”

House members no longer have a mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, etc. So says Nancy Pelosi..

House members no longer have a mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, etc. So says Nancy Pelosi. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain “future-focused” proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as “father, mother, son, and daughter.”

 

The official wording.

It promotes inclusion and diversity. That includes changes that would: establish the Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth; require standing committees to include in their oversight plans a discussion of how committee work over the forthcoming Congress will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin; honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral; make permanent the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to facilitate a diverse workforce that is reflective of our Members and the districts they represent; and survey the diversity of witness panels at committee hearings to ensure we are hearing from diverse groups of experts as we craft legislation.

Mar a Lago. White House in Exile.

Mar a Lago. White House in Exile. If we see that our President isn’t successful in the courts in his battle to remain in office, what comes next? The obvious is that Mar a Lago becomes the White House in exile. Donald Trump starts the 2024 campaign from there.

I say he oversees the Trump empire from there with the family doing the day to day running of the Corporation. Trump will be busy with the lawsuits and the planning of the 2022 midterms, Republican takeover of the House, Keeping the Senate, and his return to the White House. Much work to be done. That’s for sure.

We got ours, did you? Stimulus check has arrived at the MC House.

We got ours, did you? Stimulus check has arrived at the MC House. Yes my wife and I got our money yesterday. Not sure what she’ll do with hers, but I’m going to maybe send Sleepy Joe 1,000 dead roses. Just kidding. I think I’ll just bank it. How about you?

One of the reasons hospitals are being overwhelmed. Thank the fauch for that. Covid Antibody Drugs Go Unused as Need Soars.

I'm not a medical expert, and neither is the fauch.

One of the reasons hospitals are being overwhelmed. Thank the fauch for that. Covid Antibody Drugs Go Unused as Need Soars. We have some great drugs that were approved by the FDA that aren’t being used. Why? Well the self proclaimed loon outfit headed by the Fauch ( NIH ) is telling folks to run to the hospitals for the vaccine or ICU treatment. I guess they want to send these drugs back for more testing. SMH.

One of the drugs were given to President Trump when he came down with the COVID.  President Trump had taken one of the treatments, made by Regeneron, in October and promoted it as a “cure.” Early trial data had shown the treatments could keep people at risk of severe disease out of the hospital if administered soon after infection with the coronavirus. What I find upsetting is that the FDA wasn’t good enough for the fauch on these drugs, but was when it came to the vaccine. We have this from NPR.

The federal government has purchased 1.2 million doses of these drugs and allocated more than 300,000 of those doses to states and territories. But Dr. Moncef Slaoui, chief adviser to the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed, says initial surveys suggest only 5% to 20% of the drug that has been delivered has actually been used.

People over 65 or those with preexisting conditions such as obesity are eligible for the drugs, which means hundreds of thousands of people could potentially be in line to get them every week.

Sweet. New York State Gives Bills Permission to Host Limited Number of Fans for Wild Card Playoff

Sweet. New York State Gives Bills Permission to Host Limited Number of Fans for Wild Card Playoff. 

Buffalo has always had a special place in my heart. My parents settled in Lackawanna a suburb. Also the Bills were my favorite AFL team. And finally at the age of 54 I was at the Bills training facility in Orchard Park. I took three snaps at Quarterback. You won’t find that in the record books.

The State of New York has given the OK for the Buffalo Bills to allow a limited number of fans to attend their upcoming playoff game.

State health officials will allow the team to host 6,772 fans for their playoff game scheduled for either Jan 9 or 10, according to the team’s press release.

Even with strict limits in place, the decision is a notable reversal for New York, which has enforced strict bans on gatherings in large spaces, even outdoors, and gone after those who try to flout the rules. The move prompted backlash among health experts and a range of state and local officials, who expressed concern about limited supplies of rapid testing kits and the general wisdom of backtracking for an NFL game.

I’m planning on going out New Years Eve. How about you?

I’m planning on going out New Years Eve. How about you? They shall not force me into a lock down. I’ll social distance, mask up, and enjoy the evening. Early dinner, shopping, and company of family and friends. So go out, stimulate the economy and be careful.

So tell us of your plans if any. Going out, staying home? Having family or friends over? This from our friends at USA Today and AAA.

AAA says it expects about 34 million fewer U.S. residents to travel over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays (Dec. 23-Jan 3.) than last year. That’s a drop of nearly 30%.

AAA’s forecast estimates 2.9 million Americans will travel by plane, down 59% from last year’s 7.3 million.

And it predicts the vast majority of holiday travelers – about 81 million in total –  to go by car. But that’s still a nearly 25% drop from 108 million in 2019.

Affirmative action judge says she will not recuse, but will make sure Democrats win.

Affirmative action judge says she will not recuse, but will make sure Democrats win. I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Stacey Abrams sister is the judge who is making sure the Democrats win the two Senate seats. She has been asked to walk away. She refuses.

True the Vote founder and president Catherine Engelbrecht on Tuesday called on Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, a federal Georgia judge who is also the sister of failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, to recuse herself from the case regarding two Peach State counties and issues related to voter eligibility following the judge’s Monday ruling.

“Judge Gardner’s ruling is wrong on the law, and the glaring conflict of interest – pointed out by Muscogee County – undermines faith in the judicial process,” Engelbrecht said in a statement. Her organization has partnered with electors across the Peach State to ensure election integrity efforts ahead of the January 5 runoff elections.

So it makes no sense to have this judge rule on this case

Does my heart good. Millions traveled during the Holidays.

Does my heart good. Millions traveled during the Holidays. It’s good to see that folks are getting out and traveling. Now those who take precautions will be OK. And those who don’t? Guess what, they would act irresponsibly if they did or did not travel.

In one day, U.S. airports screened well over one million people, the highest number since the beginning of the pandemic in March, according to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.

In closing, we have this from Breitbart.

White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx is among officials who have not heeded to CDC warnings to limit nonessential travel, traveling to a vacation property in Delaware after Thanksgiving with her family last month. Several Democrat politicians — including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker —  have also come under fire for violating their own purported beliefs.
