About 20 million people visited the United States in 2020. Covid came here on a plane from Europe, as did every other variant. Alpha, Delta, Mu, you name it. Why are we allowing all these people to come here?

Your comment seems shortsighted !!!

When red and blue are most equally divided its the independents that determine the political makeup of elected officials !!!

If one is inclined to give value to the job approval of the President right now as somei ndicator of his ability to 'win', one has to clearly look at DeSantis' approval rating.

He's tanking -- and tanking bad.

I'm not sure it will have significance in two years...but if you honestly are giving any merit to Biden's approval ratings...you have to also look at Abbot and DeSantis and their falling approval ratings.

Also let us not forget the Mi , Wi, and Pa races were of similar margins in 2016 for the GOP, 2020 Dems. They are now swing states that were blue 2 decades plus.

For POTUS, the popular vote win plus $1 gets you any $1 item at McDs. You must pay the tax yourself.


And dummies that they are, Americans think it noble to go to war and fight to bring democracy to other countries when we don't have one ourselves.

There is more truth to that than many on the Left want to admit.


Democrats were angry after an Election Day that many expected would add House seats for the party but instead saw a dozen incumbents lose, without defeating a single GOP representative. "That’s not because voters there are suddenly shifting to the right, it’s because Democrats have steadily moved too far to the left for many voters", said Tom Bakk, who announced last week that he would become an independent after serving 25 years as a Democrat.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D) said the House leadership team was putting “lipstick on a pig” by touting the overall election outcome as a success. “This playing footsies with socialism is not going to win over most of America,” she said. “There’s no amount of lipstick that can cover up the fact that these far left ideas are costing us races.”

This has sparked finger-pointing, with progressives saying the party failed to adequately win over minority and young liberal voters. Moderates say that they were hurt by far-left initiatives like defunding the police and that Pelosi should have struck a pre-election stimulus deal with the White House.

Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore. said far-left progressives have been “toxic to our brand” by favoring policies he said cost jobs. “We can’t continue to talk down to people and only talk about identity politics,” he said.
