    All correct!

    i agree              there is in fact overwhelming evidence the chump-vaccines r safe and effective     although they were most effective against the wuhan strain that they were specifically engineered for   obviously

    an_praiseI get the same feeling. I fixed part of your post that applies to me. They ignore the truth and do not want to have a discussion. They are disinformation bots probably hired by China or Russia to spread propaganda. They aren't here for anything but posting lies. They know if they engage in a discussion, they will be found out as a fraud. The extent of their capabilities is to copy and paste, no other function.

    The president urged Americans to go get a cancer screening test now -- especially those who had put it off during the worst months of covid.

    Biden signs bill to honor WWII Ghost Army soldiers

     

    CONCORD, N.H. (Associated Press) —
    Members of two top-secret World War II military units referred to
    as the “Ghost Army” will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal
    more than 75 years after their service, under legislation signed
    into law by President Joe Biden.

    The Ghost Army refers to two units that used inflatable equipment,
    sound effects, radio trickery, and other deceptions in Europe to
    draw enemy forces away from American units,
    saving an estimated 30,000 lives. an_clap

     These soldiers were highly intelligent & their trickery is legendary.

    Good to see Joe acknowledging their efforts as you say, for saving thousands of lives.

    Thanks to elite US military force, one of the world's most wanted terrorists has been killed in a Syria raid according to Associated press.  Biden says he ordered the raid on the leader of Islamic state group to protect Americans and allies to make the world a safer place.

    Surprisingly strong jobs report:
    an_lightAmerica adds whopping 467,000 positions in January!

     

    New York (CNN Business)
    America's jobs recovery got an unexpected boost in January despite
    the Omicron variant spreading rapidly throughout the country.

    The economy added 467,000 jobs last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
    said Friday, significantly better than most economists had expected.an_light

    This was a shock, as the consensus forecast had been for only
    150,000 jobs. Plenty of experts even expected job losses!

    CNN BUSINESS -
    US job market recovery is still underway
    The United States lost a total of 22 million jobs in March and April of 2020 under the trump-regime.
    In January 2022, 467,000 jobs were added, so that means the total number of jobs regained since are just 2.9 million shy of February 2020 levels.

    77% tested at Democrat controlled Baltimore High School read at elementary level, some at kindergarten level 

    The district ran on a $1.4 billion budget for only 78,000 students

    Critical move.  Terrorists know now that President Biden is keeping up the surveilance and destruction of the terrorist network.

    @I_Need_A_Detox

     In reality, no American troops have accompanied local forces on combat patrols for over a year in either Iraq or Syria, one defense official said. Since 2014, the aim has been to build the capacity of the local forces in both countries to fight ISIS independently, a major shift from the U.S. operation in Iraq from 2003 to 2011.

    Amid the smorgasbord of foreign interests in Syria, the American military mission there has broad ramifications far beyond the ISIS fight, experts say — most critically, providing a check on Russian and Iranian interests. The presence of U.S. troops prevents the Russian-backed Syrian government from accessing the oil fields and agricultural resources of northeastern Syria, and serves to obstruct Iran’s goal to establish a geographic corridor connecting Tehran with Lebanon and the Mediterranean, said Will Todman, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

    Now stop asking stupid questions!

    AWESOME 1st yr for the Biden presidency!

       •   "Operation Ludicrous Speed" got the vaccines [specifically engineered only to combat the then dominant Wuhan-Strain of covid] mass produced, distributed and injected at incredible speed, saving hundreds of thousands of American lives!

      •   over 55+ Executive orders just in his first few weeks, to help heal America and reverse harmful policies of the prior disasterous republican regime

       •   passing and immediately enacting the *ABSOLUTELY VITAL* American Rescue Plan, to save families, businesses, and the economy from near collapse

      •   restoring American respect and prominence on the world stage nearly eviscerated by trump-regime, including the World Climate accords

      •   confronting both China and Russia, unlike the previous guy who embraced them, including pledging much greater aid to Ukraine in its standoff with a very aggressive Russia - and he didn't insist on any "quid-pro-quo" to dig up dirt on his political opponents

       •   got us out of a devastating and very costly war in Afghanistan, first started by the an_lightrepublicans 20 years ago.

       •   passing and enacting arguably the most profound inrastructure bill in several decades: the *VITAL* American Infrastructure Plan!   MAJOR, needed legislation supported in a *bipartisan* vote

       •   massive and immediate aid to tornado-victim communites in 5 states (most of them red states)

       •   U.S. economy grew 5.7% in 2021 under Biden, fastest full-year clip since 1984, despite ongoing pandemic exacerbated by trump

       •   nominal wages and salaries were up 4.5%, the fastest increase since 1983! These increases bring nominal wages and salaries to 1.2% above their pre-pandemic trend under trump

       •   unemployment down to 4.0%

       •   PLUS a new record for jobs added in 1st year!! thumbs_up

    Unemployment rate now just 4%!

    an_2drinks

    Meanwhile, the December jobs report, previously mocked by many on the right as very disappointing at only 199,000 -- and supposedly "ALL JOE BIDEN'S FAULT" -- has been revised UPWARD  to an impressive 510,000 jobs gained! an_cheers

     

     

    The labor force participation rate increased slightly, to 62.2%
    from 61.9% in December, as more people entered the workforce.

    Thirteen of the major industry groups gained jobs for the month. The group with the largest gain was Leisure and hospitality which added 151,000 jobs; followed by Retail and Professional Services (ex. temporary help), which gained 61,400 and 59,700 jobs, respectively. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment in Manufacturing is now down 226,000 jobs, or -1.8%, from February 2020. The only industry groups that lost jobs were Construction (-5,000) and Natural Resources/mining (-4,000)

    Wonder what the pay is for those jobs? I doubt they are high paying jobs. Sounds like many were temporary jobs and might be inflating. Regardless I am happy and my stock portfolio was smiling over most of the week. Unlike some of you turkeys, I want the country to succeed, regardless of the president.

    I would not be doing my due diligence inside this important FACTUAL thread if I left out the following:

    CNN-

    The unexpectedly good January report hammered home that the jobs recovery [from donald trump's covid-induced 20 MILLION job losses] is still on track.
    For President Joe Biden, it makes for a nice report card:
    Our economy added 6.6 million jobs during Biden's first 12 months,

FJB = For Joe Biden!    Let's Go Biden!

    Link the article where CNN said "CNN- The unexpectedly good January report hammered home that the jobs recovery [from donald trump's covid-induced 20 MILLION job losses] is still on track.For President Joe Biden, it makes for a nice report card: Our economy added 6.6 million jobs during Biden's first 12 months, -- making it by far the BEST-EVER 1st year for a president!" 

    As far as the jobs, with Covid, caused by China, there was only one way to go, up.
