Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
welcome
Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear signed a bipartisan-supported bill into law on Wednesday that expanded voting access by codifying election recount procedures, online absentee ballot portals and early voting procedures -- an exception to the GOP efforts nationwide to overhaul state election rules in the wake of the 2020 election.
"Today is also a good day for democracy, a good day for elections," he said. "I want to start by talking about voting -- about how when much of the country has put in more restrictive laws -- that Kentucky legislators, Kentucky leaders were able to come together to stand up for democracy and to expand the opportunity for people to vote."
Among its provisions are the official approval for voting centers, an online portal for absentee ballot registration and three days of early voting. It will also require drop boxes, creates official recount procedures, allows for tax dollars to advocate for or against ballot questions and mandates all voting machines to generate a paper trail for votes cast, Beshear said.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
The word Militia as used by the founding fathers meant "Citizen Soldiers" who often are the actual first line of defense against invasion and are always the first line of defense against an oppressive government. And just so that you don't get confused, the musket was the advanced military weapon of the timei.e. the citizen soldiers were to have access to the same individual weapons as the government soldiers.
I was keying on the "well regulated" part of that sentence.Comment

These men/women are the true essence of what it means to be Americans.

Wall Street is betting on Joe Biden getting infrastructure done
Wall Street is once again betting on infrastructure. And after four years of dashed hopes, investors have reason to believe Washington will finally get something done to repair highways, and spend more on telecom networks.
President Biden's proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan has the market excited.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Overall, we rate the Washington Examiner Right Biased based on editorial positions that almost exclusively favor the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks.
Funded by / Ownership
The Washington Examiner is owned by Clarity Media Group, which is owned by Philip Anschutz, an American billionaire entrepreneur who describes himself as a “conservative Christian.” Anschutz is also the owner of the right-leaning Weekly Standard and has donated millions of dollars to right-leaning causes, including anti-LGBT groups, such as the Family Research Council, which has been labeled a hate group. The Washington Examiner is funded through an advertising and subscription model.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the Washington Examiner format and content have been compared to The Hill, albeit with a right leaning tilt. They generally report political news as well as local Washington DC news stories. The Washington Examiner frequently utilizes loaded wording in sensationalized headlines such as Trump’s manic Monday amid the Kavanaugh storm. While the headlines may be sensational, articles’ content is written with less bias and tend to be properly sourced to credible media outlets. Editorially, the Washington Examiner is 100% right. It is virtually impossible to find a single editorial that offers some form of balance. Most editorials have anti-left loaded headlines such as this: Obama, the Great Divider when in office, lacks the credibility to lecture America.

Let me ask you a question but first let me preface it.
The fact checker sites are nothing more than a news outlet. They are people just like everyone else who have their own biases. That begs the question: Who is fact checking the fact checkers?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Here you go SSG, your beloved CNN reports on it also. This was the 24th of March.
302 Moved - CNN
All of that could set 2021 on track to exceed 2019 in the number of people apprehended at the border. Just over 100,000 people were encountered last month, 24,000 more than in February 2019.
And the number of unaccompanied children crossing the US-Mexico border in March is on pace to surpass May 2019, the highest month that year in arrests of minors, according to preliminary data reviewed by CNN.

Now he wants to hand the 20K... but AOC says we should give them reparations for coming here illegally because she says " America CAUSED the problems in their South American cuntries.
Biden sent two teams of negotiators to Iran to try and get the nuke agreement back up n running. Iran snubbed BOTH teams and refused to do the meeting.
Multiple Governors are saying they will sue the Biden admin over the unconstitutional attacks on the 2nd Amendment.
Biden's DHS is pushing to start back building the Trump wall at the border.
Kneepads has been given the duty of taking care of the Border CRISIS but she has YET to: 1) visit the border facilities 2) hold a presser on the issues at the border.
Biden in several briefings could remember the name of the Pentagon and couldn't get the name of the ATF correct (5 times he said AFT)

... it is always useful to understand who owns a publication and how that effects the editorial style of the views published.
... this fact checker also gives insight into the personal bias of the person who posts them. I cannot remember a single post you made that would not be considered hard right or extreme right.Comment
