The headline of course isn't exactly accurate.

"“
He announced that he’s running again in 2024, and I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on President Harris."

Is she wrong? #inconvenienttruth
I agree it's not exactly a nice thing to say.

But factually, she's not wrong about the probabilities.
"If you are an 80 year old man, your long-term odds are not great. There is a 30% chance of making it to your 90th birthday, and only about 14 in 1,000 will see 100."

These things are not nice to talk about, but when electing a President?

Absolutely essential to discuss.

You can get past the blame game when everyone is completely honest about their behavior.

Fauci has not been honest.
Correct.

Until you get full honesty, these people deserve blame.

And the longer they lie, the harder it will be.

Americans realize that The Biden Administration has become a laughingstock internationally, right? Or are people still lying to themselves?

Why the US evacuation from Sudan left Americans behind indianexpress.com/article/explai…
The US media is so prejudiced and Americocentric, it gives an extremely biased view of how the World views our country.
If you read chat rooms and Whatsapp, it's even worse.

OMG.

Thank you @ScottJenningsKY. Thank you for speaking truth to power, when almost no one else in the media has done so.
All she has is lies: "I knew and understood the importance of reopening schools and the importance of making sure that people were safe. And poll after poll that we did of parents said that they basically understood and supported that we needed to do both," she asserted,
EXACTLY THIS.

"He then ended by asking her: "Why did we fail? How did Europe and the rest of the civilized world get this right and we failed?"

I can answer that:

Good piece.

The outrage over nuclear waste is mostly centered around scientific ignorance. It is a completely manageable problem.

No energy source comes without a cost. Until we accept that and deal with that reality, we can't solve the climate change issue.
"To date, there have been no deaths, injuries or serious environmental releases of nuclear waste in casks anywhere. And the waste can be transferred to another cask, extending storage one century at a time."
"I’m not referring to water containing the radioisotope tritium...activist groups like to scaremonger about this, despite fact that you’d need to drink over a gallon of the treated water being released from Fukushima to get the equivalent radiation exposure of eating a banana."

This is not true. This is, in fact, absolutely false.

How do we know this is false? Because THE REST OF THE WORLD REOPENED SCHOOLS, and did so with LOWER rates of morbidity and mortality than we did.

Reiner is still spouting arguments that no longer hold up to the evidence.
The rest of the world, with the support of WHO and others, stayed open during this time, safely. The data shows that most of these countries did better than the US did.

Reiner isn't using evidence based medicine for these claims.

So wanted to comment about something...lot of posts here about how awful a President Grant was.

I think that is unfair. He certainly wasn't one of our greatest Presidents. But he was quite a pivotal President, and was our first Civil Rights President.
After Andrew Johnson completely failed with reconstruction, Grant had to find a way to restart it, and provide rights to almost 5 million former slaves, most who lived in enemy territory in the deep South, surrounded by racists, Confederates, and Klansmen.
Grant spent much of his presidency rooting out the KKK power, and by his second term, the KKK had largely been defeated as a major force (though they would sadly rise again by the 1920s).
