Question 37

 

Question 37

There is talk about Hilary getting another run at the presidency. Trump, Biden, now Hilary. When did the White House turn into a halfway house?

A minister, a priest, and a rabbit walk into a blood bank to give blood, and the nurse at the reception desk asks each of them what their blood type is. ‘I’m pretty sure I’m a Type O,’ says the rabbit.

Social outrage plus political ambition is a heat-seeking missile that no longer seeks heat. Biden gave a powerful speech in Atlanta attacking a non-problem. His target was 'Jim Crow 2.0,' clever and impactful unless you thought about it. The notion is having any rules and defined times about voting are inherently discriminatory. The ideas here are getting hard to follow as non-citizens are apparently going to be allowed to vote in New York. That seems to make the selection process very thin and hard to abuse.

Why do we insist on combining the damage done by the Virus with the damage done by the lockdown and call it all Virus effect?

America’s population grew 0.1% this year, the lowest rate on record, according to Census Bureau figures released Tuesday.

The coronavirus pandemic has led to a new era of inflation inequality, economists warn, in which poor households bear the brunt of rising prices. 
Inflation inequality.

FOX's "Gutfeld!" is regularly generating higher ratings than more established late-night fare, such as "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," and has at times even topped "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
China conflates government and business, America conflates government and entertainment.
