All in all it will be indeed interesting as the republican party rebrands ....

With replacing pelosi as house minority leader a new wave of enthusiastic however nieve will be filling leadership roles in Congress .

Biden is considered not running for releceltion keeping the parties inner circle dialogue with n a worthy  to be nominated column...

 Good deal.  Hope all is well with you. 

@nature1970

Good to see you back! 

Happy New Year!  

I’m beginning to think that these Republicans aren’t actually going to bring down inflation, solve the border crisis or lower the price of gas.

Just a hunch...

It is indeed a very strange world from how we were raised. Liberals were always been a last moment negotiations.  Vote the day of possibly within the last hour before closing.

Pandering social welfare programs, dismissive to defense and foreign relations and a more here today party ....

Now they are inflationary aware. Dealing with sustaining the spending limits set by Congress . Going to vote weeks early if possible. Planning every movement to how many tasks can be accomplished today itinerary when going to town. 

Pushing for drug awareness and reductions in substance use.

restrictions in immigration limits

keen to funding wars where no America active duty member is taking a combat role in (Ukraine)

Sustaining safety in schools buildings, supporting capitol police officers....

. Understanding effective food supply system how much grain will feed how many people.

 manufacturing from supply chain  to a finished deliverable product. COVID vaccine as an example 

Dealing with schools faith and the community.

Transportation issues

while championing for equality.....

Most of this was once described as conservative republican party values.

Republican just want a check and do no work in today's America. As an exhibit look at what they did when they took the house in 2012....

Government shutdowns, stifling progress stressing the economy pushing for economic collapse damaging the credit rating of the USA. 

They did manage to give themselves raises though... That's a bill that if you don't vote it's a yes I want a raise funding bills....

Where they do nothing and get a inflationary plus 5% raise.. every other year.... They pander to people who planned and executed a failed coop . Trump is actually the front runner in the early primaries... Polls. For republican party....

Complete lunatics I mean if you actually listen to MTG there a race of aliens working the democrats to undermine the religious churches in America. And other unsurdities she here's with her good tinfoil hat days....

Inflation is embedded....has it peaked?  Likely.  But that DOESN'T mean you won't see whipsaw movement combined with FED policy (mistakes) continue throughout '23 and beyond.  Republicans won't be responsible for doing anything with inflation, nor will democrats.  It is just uneducated BS partisan division if anyone says otherwise.  

Solve border crisis??  ha...agreed. Mitigate maybe??  Well any action would be considered mitigation vs what is currently in place.  

Lower gas??  More than it already is ??  NO F-ING CHANCE.  All the tools in the world (literally) within US control have been nearly exhausted to suppress the price of gas in the U.S.  It cannot continue indefinitely.  Prices will go higher.  

Not all republicans are like that but it is surprising how many are given their bluster to the contrary

We debate issues.

That what Congress was made to do.

Start a dialogue to hear competing sides of difficult situations. Actually debate about policies to further the grand masonic principle that all men are created equal regardless of family connection.

To pursue happiness without a sovereign lord or king stating policy generation of new policies dealing with an inbred monarchy feudal system.

Equal rights to land ownership equal member citizens. Congress was set up to raise revenue and direct monetary and social laws to further the American experience. If we want to have the world follow our lead we need to achieve a better example of civil society. 

Ok abortion well what do we do with the near 5 million un American unwanted but born and raised here as today's children.

What do we want to do with the millions held in prisons.... Regardless of whatever tough on crime B's... 95% are returning to the streets here.....

How about the climate collapse of an entire change to coastal landscapes... Holland Athens Mediterranean Venice built dyke pump systems before our nation was founded to overt disasters caused by climate change....

Infrastructure the crumbling road network that connects our land...rail capabilities high speed rural access to internet. No child left behind??? Where that movement 20 years later... equality ERA amendment.... That's been 40 years and nothing.

Homeless crime food insecurities absence of any identity to actually being American is facing today's youth.... 

Health care gaps. Medicine shortages hospital sections can't even open due to staffing concerns....

Fine have a debate of priorities but let's face it as Americans we should feel entitled to a better lot representing ya in town city county state and federal government Al positions...

We deserve a better future.... Shine ng beacon of hope....the illuminated utopian example...

Looks like someone didn't pay the power Bill...

Let's face it this is a gloomy dispared nation...

Both sides guilty of mismanagement, yes.

But as far as Infrastructure, Joe Biden got the legislation passed! 

In fact, right now in Kentucky there is celebration of that fact over the start of a $1.6 BILLION project to repair and twin a crumbling bridge over the Ohio river that carries nearly 3% of our country's GDP daily.

Thank you, President Biden and the Democrats 

Boebert just mocked Trump on the House floor during the 5th ballot -  which McCarthy just lost for the fifth consecutive time to Democrat Hakeem Jeffries!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid is scheduled to enter a plea on Monday to felony driving while intoxicated causing serious injury after a 2021 car crash that seriously injured Ariel Young, who was 5 at the time.

Reid, son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, is expected to plead guilty, Jackson County (Missouri) Circuit Court records show. He was scheduled to go to trial Sept. 26.

He faces up to seven years in prison, The Kansas City Star reported.

"He sincerely regrets his conduct and hopes and prays for the continued recovery for A.Y. [Ariel Young]," Reid's attorney, J.R. Hobbs, said in a news release Tuesday. "Mr. Reid sincerely apologizes to A.Y. and her family, and to his own family. He also extends his deep apologies to the Hunt family, the Chiefs organization and Chiefs Kingdom. Mr. Reid is sorry for his actions and hopes that his plea brings some sense of justice to all those he affected."

Police said Reid was intoxicated and speeding when he hit two parked cars on an entrance ramp near Arrowhead Stadium in February 2021. Young suffered a traumatic brain injury.

After math.

Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid was sentenced on Tuesday to three years in prison for driving drunk, speeding and hitting two parked cars last year, leaving a 5-year-old girl with a serious brain injury.

Reid pleaded guilty in September to driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury. The charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, but prosecutors had agreed to ask for a maximum sentence of four years in prison. Reid sought probation.

Circuit Judge Charles H. McKenzie sentenced Reid on Tuesday and he was set to be taken into custody.

Prosecutors said Reid, the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, was intoxicated and driving about 84 mph (135 kph) in a 65 mph zone when his Dodge truck hit the cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435 near Arrowhead Stadium on Feb. 4, 2021.

A girl inside one of the cars, Ariel Young, suffered a traumatic brain injury. A total of six people, including Reid, were injured. One of the vehicles he hit had stalled because of a dead battery, and the second was owned by Ariel’s mother, who had arrived to help.

Reid had a blood-alcohol level of 0.113% two hours after the crash, police said. The legal limit is 0.08%.

Before sentencing, a victim impact statement from Ariel’s mother, Felicia Miller, was read into the record. She said the five victims of the crash were offended that Reid sought probation and they did not accept his apologies for his actions. The family opposed the plea deal.

Miller said her daughter, who was in court Tuesday, has improved but still drags one of her feet when she walks, has terrible balance and must wear thick eyeglasses.

This is not the first legal issue for Reid, who graduated from a drug treatment program in Pennsylvania in 2009 after a series of run-ins with law enforcement. His father was coach of the Philadelphia Eagles at the time.

The Chiefs reached a confidential agreement with Ariel’s family in November to pay for her ongoing medical treatment and other expenseThe Chiefs reached a confidential agreement with Ariel’s family in November to pay for her ongoing medical treatment and other expenses.

Separate article.

The Kansas City Chiefs will pay for ongoing medical treatment and other expenses for a young girl who was seriously injured when a vehicle she was in was struck by a car driven by former assistant coach Britt Reid.

The agreement between the Chiefs and the family of Ariel Young will provide her with “world-class medical care and long-term financial stability,” according to a statement Friday from the team’s legal representative and the family’s attorney, Tom Porto.

The agreement was reached after several months of discussions between the Chiefs, Ariel Young’s family and medical experts. Other details were not released

Gambling says Bills, San Fran /phillidelphia super bowl. Is a better position in playoff games.....

Bills win divisional / conference / afx champion. Wether west coast market markets vs east coast markets in demographics let's face it a new York California audience would not be bad for ratings as San struggles to title after 3 tough defensive stands back up to the back up leading team to super bowl has marketable value....

As far as Congress they had one job day 1 and couldn't get it done. Day one...elect speaker swear in Congress..... 

Swing and a miss.

See if they can opener the floor on day 2....

Way to go boys first they there it's already shut down to an emerging constitutional. Crisis....

See once they swear in and elect a speaker every law there was is afforded in a chain of 50 or so paragraphs.

Congress passes all law that day and then goes to comittees to draft the language of legislation to admend what they just passed day one principally all laws and orders of the house do not exist.....

Kind of the twilight zone in Washington....

Funny how All of 3  problems listed are democrat created.

we did not have this happen during Trump

you people need to try math that works

dem policy creates inflation, for starters, let's just pint some more money

Border problem is completely caused by democrats, they LOVE their illegals and the costs of them.

price of gas, is now the Republicans responsibility? WOW, just WOW. You took rsponsibilty off Joe's back and put it on Putin's...now it's Republicans issue.

this guy is demented.

you fukked it all up and now can't fix it but so willing to ignore all that and blame others

LOL, sick, sick people

So out to lunch republicans are our best...

Damn and this day just gets better and better ..

How can I state this clearly with insulting....

We're screwed appropriate?

1. More immune evasive? Probably yes. More than other Omicron variants

2. More inherently contagious? May be. It binds more tightly to the human ACE receptor. Might affect contagiousness

3. Is it more dangerous: We don’t know

I know COVID....

We will soon have more data on how well vaccines neutralize XBB.1.5

But right now, for folks without a very recent infection or a bivalent vaccine

You likely have very little protection against infection

And for older folks, diminishing protection against serious illness

And for older folks, diminishing protection against serious illness 

Paxlovid and Molnupiravir (the oral pills) should work fine based on what we know

So what does this mean for the weeks ahead?

Whether we’ll have an XBB.1.5 wave (and if yes, how big) will depend on many factors

Including immunity of the population, people’s actions, etc

Then it's a numbers game if we have 80 percent of the population becomes infected with x amount of hospital space.

X amount of approved antiviral schedule drugs causing a mortality rate of 8 to 12 percent of the country....

Possibly lose upto 20% of Americans over the five year cycle of herd immunity that started in 2020....

One in five with this virus potentially....

I think Congress might try a study in 2026....

To determine the effects of COVID 19 at the rate of progress theses morons exhibit....
