Biden administration's pathetic C***D origin investigation only helps China
After a 90-day sprint study into the origins of SARS-CoV-2 by the IC, ordered by President Biden, here’s the answer released on Aug. 27: We don’t know. As an intelligence product, it is a shameful embarrassment. It's a small wonder it was released on a Friday afternoon while the news media were fixated on Afghanistan. But it shouldn’t be swept under some White House rug.
You can read the Director of National Intelligence’s official unclassified “key takeaways” of the 90-day review here. It won’t take long; it’s only a page and a half, and it reflects what 90 days will yield — i.e., not much. The 600,000 dead were given short shrift.

The most key of the takeaways are two:

1) Some in the IC assess — with low confidence — that the SARS-CoV-2 v***s “probably” was not genetically engineered. But others in the IC assess there is not enough evidence to definitively make that call. The report further points out that “elements” of the IC are divided on whether the v***s had a laboratory or natural origin. Thanks for that decisive evaluation. The American people assess with high confidence that we have low confidence in almost anything the IC offers these days.

Perhaps most disheartening is that this low-confidence, timidly-worded IC assessment telegraphs to the world that the U.S. is flying blind in China right now, largely relying on open source press reports since our government has limited human or signals intelligence on the ground informing its understanding.

2) China was thoroughly uncooperative and the IC would need more information from China to make any different assessment. In the understatement of the year, the IC assesses that China’s reluctance to cooperate reflects an “uncertainty about where an investigation could lead.”

Here is an inescapable, high-confidence assessment by law enforcement for centuries: Innocent parties want to cooperate at all costs to help prove their innocence. Guilty parties always deflect, obscure, and point fingers in other directions. It’s what we call “a clue.”

China does not want a thorough investigation and that fact alone should double the resolution of the U.S. to act on behalf of 600,000 departed American souls and millions more around the world to determine the t***h of
SARS-CoV-2.
Culpability, if it exists, demands accountability. T***h is worth honest pursuit. What we’ve been given so far does not appear to be an honest pursuit. We are in an accountability deficit in this country right now. If there is anything that should drive a righteous quest for accountability, 600,000 dead loved ones would seem to be it.

China will not submit to revealing the information needed. They will not. They did it on purpose. They cannot reveal it.

America 1 Loc: South Miami

Did I post something that would reveal it's something I don't know?
They would reveal if somehow managed forcefully.

Your posts are great and thank you for the communications. I agree, we need a strong man in there to give them the hell they need to come clean. We still have the edge power wise and economically.

AmericanEagle Loc: Indiana

Sadly you miss again……the U.S. is “Rich and huge”??? Really? It’s thinking like that Continues to blow up our deficit do you guys want to give out money like candy land and don’t have a problem with open borders.

Here’s one big question I always like to ask a liberal and let’s see how you do.

What happens when you run out of other peoples money to spend?

Your policy is a wrecked this country by providing extra payments on top of unemployment that paid people more to stay at home and not work and pay them more when they were working.
When Trump initially approve money to help people during the shut down of C***d it was probably a good thing. Then of course it was abused from there.

How can your party justify continuing these observe payments to people to stay at home when there were millions of jobs open in small businesses were being crushed from people not coming back to work. Thanks to that businesses are still struggling trying to get people to work because now they think they are entitled and don’t want to work in the government will take care of them.

What all these people do when the government can’t take care of them? Get ready for a crime numbers too sore and we really start to look like a Third World country.

You continue to blame Trump is laughable naturally but you just can’t help yourself.

We can at least agree the immigration system is broken and Trump did the best of any president to fix it and we did not have the surge at the border. Remember when Trump had the surge at the border and people were sitting on top of the wall and behind the wall in California? Trump stepped up, solve the problem in the caravans stopped.

Of course that’s a fact you don’t like to hear and sleepy Joe is going to be forced to reinstate trumps policies to fix this mess. The reason why we are in this mess is because of your boy Joe and there’s no way without being intellectually dishonest you can blame Trump. Again when i******s are wearing Biden T-shirts to come to America there’s a problem Houston

Excellent synopsis’s on what’s really happening. Wasted on perm. He’s a quasi c*******t. Loves to be magnanimous with other peoples money so he can pat himself on the back and feel good about himself. Will lie, when needed to bash Trump or support i***t Joe.

Good moring eagle..

The extra UI ended the first week of Sept..

Under the CARES Act responding to the C****-** p******c, all states received access to federal funding to provide additional weeks of P******c Emergency Unemployment Assistance (PEUC) benefits to people who exhausted their regular state benefits, and P******c Unemployment Assistance (PUA) to many others who lost their jobs through no fault of their own but who were not normally eligible for UI in their state. These and other p******c-related emergency UI programs ended nationwide the first weekend of September 2021, but many states stopped providing these federal benefits before that.

It is not other peoples money. and in my case, I pay more taxes then average... what makes you think any policy would not use money from all Americans, it is only the RBs who enjoy loopholes that could accomplish this..

so when trump did it was good, anyone else doing it is bad.. cult thinking much?

with the economy strong and recovered, the people you worry about will be working.. watch and see..

You still fixate on trump.... sad.. he was,is and always will be the example of the ugly American.. not a good point in his entire outlook..

Immigration system does indeed need fixing.. trump did not fix anything.. he postponed it..

When the world situation changed for some, the pressure to escape increased, needs increased and fear increased.. Now here we are. mobs wishing to come to America...

I still say the best "fix" would be to press charges on the companies which provide jobs to the i******s..

Gee, wearing a Biden t-shirt.. the sleazy nut case.. next will be some dumb red cap.

Send me a t-shirt if you find one.. all I have are "trump was fired" , need some others..

AmericanEagle Loc: Indiana

Ok Permy I plugged in some of your statements and I post direct questions to you so let’s see how you answer.

Not a good point in his “entire” outlook??
Q: Is America first bad?

Mobs wishing to come to America you say.
Q: Aren’t we supposed to be a nation of laws?
Q: Are open borders safe? (What could go wrong)😩🤣

Gee, wearing a Biden t-shirt
Q: Where did the i******s get them from?

Trump did not fix anything.. he postponed it..
Answer: At least Trump tried and secured the border. This stopped coyotes from praying on women and children, sex trafficking, people suffering along the way in preventing lives lost.
Oh that’s just something Congress fails to still get done and a safe and secure border protects America and the i******s from harm.

Trump will always live rent free in your head and you really are just not well. The questions I posed to you should be so easy and basic to a true American without wanting to destroy her.

Thank God some Republican states had the sense not to make it unemployment benefits on top of unemployment benefits with as many business is struggling in the number of jobs still out there to be filled.

Here’s a simple concept maybe you can understand. If people aren’t working and paying into the system there will be no money to pay for all your s**t! And like I said then wall way to full blown anarchy and Civil War and a dog eat dog world. That’s the kind of world unfortunately you want to live in. There are many countries like that fit the bill so why don’t you move? Do you see true patriots like me want to see America thrive, because when America thrives we are a generous country and help out many countries which is why so many people want to come here. That’s OK as long as they do it through proper channels and come here “legally”.
I realize that’s a problem for your side because the laws don’t apply to them and there’s always a double standard.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

Eagle, it gives me pause to answer this considering how bad this day must have been for you.. first the Arizona f**e audit found out that , yes Joe Biden did win the e******n..

Secnondly, your beloved topic the pile up at the border just went away.. bridge is empty..

However, I love facts so much I can not resist piling on..

so......

America first bad.. no the idea is great.. it is the misguided course of the action which makes it such a travisty..

it became more isolationism than any polcy to promote our country... tariffs that drove 1000s of farmers to bankruptcy, which increased the cost of nearly every home appliance a person could think to buy. And the worse case of all, my lawn mower will not run because the damn little solinuid is stuck in China and will not show up for at least 30 days.. in time to shovel snow.. that means my new yard vaccum toy will not get to do the leafs for me.. damn..

It also stressed the NATO treaty nearly to the breaking point.. the longest most effect joint defense treaty in the world and very nearly was ended.. thank the lord for the e******n of Joe..

Yes, we are a nation of laws, that is why Biden is following the rules..

open borders, you obsess on this idea but it is not a fact.. borders are not open them and Joe did not open them.. just because entry is wanted by a great number of people does not indicate that the border is open.

T shirts... I would say the coyotes handed them out.. or some right wing dip sh** gave over as a prank..

The reason they stopped trying to come in at the same numbers is because we had no jobs to hand out. remember the shut down?

After 3 decades of obstruction, it is time for republicans to at least get the heck out of the way. They will not lead and will not follow.. time for them to go!

trump until your brought him up and I read the Arizona e******n and refugee camp was gone , I had not thought of him since the last time I was on OPP..

Jobs.. you lost me on this.. plenty of them. my grandson just changed jobs again.. for a GED guy he has done fine.. this one starts him at just over 51,000/year.. hope he likes it..

Pay for my s**t... Does that mean that if enough people make so much money they pay taxes, I will get something.. What a great Idea,,, what will it be?

I am really so glad that the trump i**********n fell on its butt . like all else trump wise.. it was useless and only for his orangness.. LOL..

What a filthy retch, pis***** example of protoplasm.. glad he is gone.. hope he lives long enough to serve his prison time.. after all he took away my supplemental health insurance.. he has no redeeming quality at all.. he is not even a good person ,let alone a good president.

Well more to do, so until later.. enjoy..

How to Quickly Spot High-Conflict People
High-conflict people (HCPs) have high-conflict personalities. This means they have an ongoing pattern of all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions, extreme behavior or threats, and a preoccupation with blaming others. They have a Target of Blame, whom they regularly bully, harass, blame, humiliate, annoy, spread rumors about, and are subject to many other adversarial behaviors. This pattern increases and maintains interpersonal conflicts, rather than reducing or resolving them — which is what most people try to do. How can you spot HCPs early on, instead of being caught by surprise? How can you avoid marrying them, hiring them, working for them, living next door to them, or any other number of bad situations? Look at their words, your emotions, their behavior.
Words: It’s easy to watch out for their words. Do they speak in extremes most of the time, such as all-or-nothing terms? Are people either all good or all bad in their eyes? Or winners or losers? Do they blame other people for their own problems? Are they unable to reflect on themselves and see their part in problems?
Behavior: Does the person have a history of extreme behavior? Do they constantly try to justify their extreme behavior with excuses, such as being tired or stressed, or say they are just responding to someone else’s extreme behavior? Would 90 percent of people ever do what this person has done?
Knowing these patterns makes it easier to spot them, especially when this is combined with observing the four characteristics of HCPs at the top of this article.

Speaking in Manitowoc on Sept. 21, 2020, Biden said Trump started a trade war that "led to a surge in farm bankruptcies."
To be sure, times are tough for Wisconsin farmers, particularly in dairy.
In 2019 alone, Wisconsin lost 818 dairy farms, part of an accelerating decline in which about one-quarter of the state’s dairy farms have gone out of business since 2014.
But amid such a long-running trend, is it fair to put the onus for a "surge" on Trump’s trade wars?
The toll on farmers was heavy enough the federal government created the Market Facilitation Program, which paid out more than $14 billion to farmers in 2018 and 2019 to mitigate the impact of the trade wars.
Amid this environment, farm bankruptcies did rise in 2019 — the point where you’d expect to see a spike given the trade battles occurring at the time.

But experts say you can’t draw a dark line between the trade wars and the rise in bankruptcies.
Though the jump from 2018 to 2019 was the largest in recent years, bankruptcies have been rising for a while.
After Chapter 12 bankruptcies dropped from 723 in 2010 to 361 in 2014, the number has steadily grown since.
Farm bankruptcies did drop slightly in the first half of 2020 — the total of 284 was down 10 from the same period in 2019 — but that was "due in large part" to government payments made to farmers as part of the C****av***s Food Assistance Program, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
In addition, trade wars are far from the only factor at play for farmers in Wisconsin and nationwide.
Let’s dig in.
Campaigning as a dealmaker in 2016, Trump promised to renegotiate U.S. trade deals in America’s favor, and once in office, he imposed tariffs seeking to achieve that end.
Reuters described it this way:

“The increase in (2019 bankruptcies) had been somewhat expected, bankruptcy experts and agricultural economists said, as farmers face trade battles, ever-mounting farm debt, prolonged low commodity prices, volatile w*****r p*****ns, and a fatal pig disease that has decimated China’s herd.”
John Newton, the chief economist at the Farm Bureau, cited many of the same factors in an interview with PolitiFact Wisconsin.
"The farm bankruptcies are a function of not only retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agriculture by China but also years of low commodity prices created by a global economic slowdown and large supplies of grains, oilseeds, and livestock products internationally and recent natural disasters," Newton said in an email.
"I don’t think you can lay the blame of higher farm bankruptcies on the retaliatory tariffs alone."
But this claim oversimplifies by listing the trade wars alone as being responsible for that increase.
We rate this claim Half True.

Once again I miss guided twist Trump bankrupted farmers. What is it oh he was trying to level the playing field and yes that caused some temporary pain but overall was going to be a much better benefit in the long run. They agreed to buy more grain and farmers Overall we’re willing to bear some short term pain to level the playing field which eventually heal them more money in the long run. He got us out of that stupid NATO agreement and this giant sucking sound of NAFTA and created the Mexico & Canadian agreement.

Yeah John finally cleaned up Biden Ville in the migrants are gone from there but they’re just released somewhere else in the United States. Yes some of them got flown back but too many are released in the United States and with the open borders that you deny they go ride around the stretched thin border patrol.

Biden is such a piece of crap he immediately threw the Texas border patrol on horseback under the bus and said they would pay for their actions. No investigation has been done but they took a picture out of context and they are obviously guilty according to Joe and your Democrats.
Why is it you want to penalize law-enforcement right away and make them pay but yet when it comes to criminals coming across the border which is what they are breaking our laws they get a free pass?

Fine post America... very little not to agree with..

I would point out that the trade wars were the straw that broke the camels back for many of those farmers..

And as for the trend of bankruptcies,, could have gone back to at least the 50s, or longer..

But nonetheless, as good post..
