Happening just recently . . .

Usually those people are just in denial.  I'll bet most also believe the elction was stolen from trump -- despite no proof to support their belief.

thats no isolated case either       in some cases entire neighborhoods r affected the same way

Shocking that the appraisal would shift by $500,000 more when it was believed the homeowners were white

It's really gripping Europe badly as we speak.

Joining U.S. Olympic statement

MSN -
Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada will all follow
President Joe Biden's lead and join the United States
in a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics,
the leaders of the three countries said Wednesday.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a diplomatic
boycott of the Games and said he was "extremely concerned by
the repeated human rights violations by the Chinese government."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the US boycott
was a statement against China's
"ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang."

US athletes will still be allowed to compete in the Games,
but the administration will not be sending government officials.
The same policy applies for the 2022 Winter Paralympics,
scheduled for Beijing in March.

You know what 2 of these 3 all have in common with Chyna?

I fully support this decision and wish some professional athletes would participate. Cough cough LeBron 

new zealand has also joined

Kosovo and Lithuania have joined the U.S. lead

Systemic racism persists to this day

3 US soldiers recognized with Medal of Honor

LA Times -

All three were credited with putting themselves in danger as they
protected others and sought to repel enemy attacks. The soldiers'
heroics stretched over several years, a reminder of how long
Americans were engaged in combat operations in the Middle East.

    "Today we honor three outstanding soldiers, whose actions
      embody the highest ideals of selfless service," Biden said.

   "We also remember the high price that military members and
      their families are willing to pay on behalf of our nation."

when we read the stories behind these awards they truly  r   heroes

shame donnie chump referred to our fallen as losers and suckers

Yep....and John Wayne was a big reason for this.  Sad.  Trump lickers and John Wayne lickers are two peas in a pod 

I would prefer to see more positive stories like this in here rather than all the vitriol and personal attacks I see.

@baish2012

 I agree.

 The vitriol and hate that Fupah's hero and idol John Wayne stands for is utterly ridiculous and the simple fact that I have to look at a photo of that homophobic racist shitty actor and representative of all that is wrong with Donnie Chump and the Trump Cultists is simply unamerican.... 

 I stand for more than that and it is sad and very disappointing that one of our own Covers brethren represents such despicable and unacceptable human behavior 

House oversight committee releases report
detailing efforts of Trump administration officials
to 'undermine' Covid-19 efforts in US

(CNN) Trump administration officials
made "deliberate efforts to undermine the nation's
coronavirus response for political purposes,"
the House Select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis
said in a report released Friday.

The committee, which spent months working to interview
former Trump officials, said the administration worked to
undermine the public health response to the coronavirus
pandemic by blocking officials from speaking publicly,
watering down testing guidance and attempting to interfere
with other public health guidance.

The report also chronicled deep frustration from then-White House
Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx,
who at one point was so upset about a meeting that included
doctors whom she called part of a "fringe group"
that she told colleagues she would not attend:

              "I can't be part of this with these people
               who believe in herd immunity,"  
Birx wrote in an email released by the committee

GOP Rep. Tom Rice "regrets"
voting against certifying presidential election


AXIOS -
Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) told Politico on Wednesday that he
 "regrets" NOT certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Rice appears to be the first Republican to publicly say he regrets his decision.

Rice told Politico that he realized he should have voted to certify the
election during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He didn't do so because
he had publicly announced he would object to the vote.

    "In retrospect, I should have voted to certify,” Rice said.
“Because President Trump was responsible for the attack on the Capitol.”

    “In the wee hours of that disgraceful night, while waiting
for the Capitol of our great country to be secured, I knew I
should vote to certify. There was a coward in that equation,"
Rice added. "But it wasn’t Mike Pence."

Court Allows Biden Employer Vaccine Mandate To Take Effect


HUFFPOST -
A federal appeals court panel has allowed President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for larger private employers to move ahead.

The 2-1 decision by a panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses a decision by a federal judge in a separate court that had paused the mandate nationwide.

The rule from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration was to take effect Jan. 4.
“Given OSHA’s clear and exercised authority to regulate viruses, OSHA necessarily has the authority to regulate infectious diseases that are not unique to the workplace,” Judge Jane B. Stranch wrote in her majority opinion.
