Biden to speak with Putin on Thursday at Russian leader's request

US flies reconnaissance aircraft over eastern Ukraine

The Dallas Morning News should be ashamed of themselves for publishing that the 13 year old daughter of Ted Cruz doesn't agree with her Dad politically.

What a news flash! 13 year old girl disagrees with her Dad!

I think Ted Cruz is an ass but for cripes sake leave his kids & the kids of other politicians alone. 

At this time of year, one would think the Dallas Morning News would have better options than that lame story.

president biden made it clear that usa has ukraines back

Ukraine as part of NATO might be a good idea.

Anti-Vax Host Dies of Covid

January 6, 2022

“Far-right podcast host Douglas Kuzma—who was an outspoken critic
of the COVID-19 vaccine—has died while battling the coronavirus,
which he contracted after attending a QAnon-friendly gathering in Texas

A lot of people unfortunately have followed the same path.

Why would this be a good idea???  

Explain it in your own words please, I'm legitimately interested in hearing why you think doing the only thing Putin doesn't want is somehow a good idea?  President Poopy Pants can make any deal he needs except for what Putin does not want the most, NATO presence on his border.  

another tragedy

RECORD covid HOSPITALIZATIONS!

JAN 11:

Despite the Biden administration making EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT to
• constantly encourage public & private covid mitigation measures;
• website and daily press briefings to try to keep the public informed;
• increase testing and public testing sites;
• increase production and distribution of PPE and home testing kits;
• ramp up financial support/production/distribution of new "covid pills"
• even including trying to mandate life-saving vaccinations where possible,

- the resistance by anti-vaxxers, especially politicans and right-wing media, have resulted in a new record for covid hospitalizations - over 146,000  - the vast majority of which are UNvaccinated.

Only 62.6% of Americans have received all the shots.

Somebody needs 3rd to come rescue their position....

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said 75% of people who died of COVID-19 had at least four comorbidities, sparking an outpouring of commentary from people surprised by her statement and others saying, “I told you so.”

The top health official made the comment on ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday, days after Dr. Anthony Fauci said on TV that statistics on child hospitalizations are being overblown.

Vaccine mandate skeptics have said the COVID-19 death toll was inflated by people who died with COVID-19 as opposed to dying of COVID-19, and some of them claimed they were made into pariahs or punished on social media for making these claims.

I know how difficult reading comprehension is for you buddy so I highlighted some facts for you....

and thats the problem

there have been far too many like this

pandemic of the unvaccinated  

tragedy

RECORD covid HOSPITALIZATIONS!

Graphs available at the CDC indicate clearly a very stark contrast between the rise in hospitalization rates: vaccinated vs. UNvaccinated

(Note: CNN reports a small percentage of this new record does include patients who were admitted for unrelated reasons only to be tested in the hospital and discover they also have covid)

White house press secretary Psaki schools Fox news Doocy when he questions pandemic of the unvaccinated.  Despite surge in infections, vaccines work well in reducing severe illness.  Unvaccinated minority is 17 times more likely to be hospitalized and 20 times more likely to die from covid than the fully vaccinated.

doocys own family suffered with covid recently  as was discussed on fox & friends last week

Glad you added that very last part.

Still this is straining many hospitals not just with the covid surging but also with staff shortages due to those surges.

Thirdperson, did you see the Fox segment on Fox & Friends where the hosts were arguing with each other after Steve Doocy related his struggle with covid and urged everyone get vaccinated

According to lead stories, CDC director's comment is misinterpreted in social media.  She is only talking about vaccinated people and not the unvaccinated..  36 deaths out of 1.2 million vaccinated people.  28 have 4 or more comorbidities. 

In writing death certificates, doctors list any cause or condition that contributes to death.  Patients with comorbidities have a higher risk of dying from covid.  Key is that if patients aren't infected, they would still be alive.  So 94% of covid deaths aren't inflated according to fact checkers such as Reuters, politifact and others.

Governor of West Virginia has tested positive and reportedly feeling very unwell.

The Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Andre B. Mathis, a judicial appointee for the U.S. Sixth Circuit and during that hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) made some comments about his past.

Mathis, who is Black, had his license briefly suspended after he forgot to pay speeding tickets 10 years ago when he was in his 20s. One of the speeding tickets was from him driving five miles per hour over the speed limit.

Blackburn called this an example of Mathis having a "rap sheet," the term used to list arrests and convictions of a criminal history. Traffic violations for speeding typically don't garner arrests.

"If speeding tickets are a rap sheet, I've got one too," said chairman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). But there's more...

It was an odd question coming from Blackburn, who just last year, was allegedly speeding down Constitution Ave. in Washington, D.C. as the members were released on a recess. Capitol police pulled her over. According to a source familiar with the incident, Blackburn jumped out of the car, identified herself as a U.S. Senator, flashed her member's pin and the officer let her go.

Leo Kowalski, an aide to Blackburn, text-messaged his friends that when being pulled over, Blackburn "hopped out, flashed her pin, hopped back in the car [and] said 'drive!' Officer didn't say a word, just shook his head." Blackburn wasn't driving at the time. The incident occurred March 2021, where the three tickets for Mathis happened before Blackburn was in the U.S. Senate.

The Capitol Police says that it has no record of the incident, but Blackburn's office confirmed the incident when questioned.

In the same Mathis hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told the Black nominee that Denzel Washington, "is one of the five coolest people on the planet."

Perfect example of "do what I say not what I do" & the patronization of a minority judicial candidate. Both of them are ignorant mofo's IMO.

• A judge in Kentucky offered a man convicted of sexual assault the option to rejoin the military in lieu of jail time this month.
• Brandon Scott Price, 28, was convicted of sexually assaulting a female inmate at Franklin County Regional Jail where he worked as a guard. 
• While judges are free to make these determinations, military regulations prevent applicants from being court-ordered into service without a waiver. 

Sure, why not? Put another sexual deviant into the armed forces that already has sexual assault issues.
