It's amazing the CNN didn't report the truth, again!

It will be interesting to see if deaths do not rise if we have another national surge now that a majority of the older population (65+) have been vaccinated. You would think that would be the case since that group accounted for such a large percentage of deaths.

For the first time, we could have a surge in cases that isn't followed by a surge in deaths.

Well I can pretty much guarantee you that people would rather kill grandma than stay inside for another summer. Not that anyone really gave a sh!t last summer either, but this time, we won't even pretend to be concerned.

No argument there.

Interesting idea here.

THat Rs have got a pass for their miserable record and massive corruption.

Example: Trump's crimes equal Obama's tan suit.

But now the Rs have gone off into anti-democracy land. Will the press keep both-sidesing things?

Or will the press finally call it as it is: One major party disinclined to support democracy, and instead in favor of sedition and voter suppression.

The press's approach to reporting evolved over the Trump years from "Trump says . . ." to "Trump says . . . (for which there is no evidence)".

The media has and will always struggle with the issue of balance/false balance, but I think there has been increasing recognition of the pitfalls of false balance. Notably there have been policy shifts by major media outlets in reporting on global warming in recent years.

The flip side is that media choices are becoming more insular so the press one sees tends to be the those favorable to one's own point of view and everything else is labeled unreliable. So it doesn't really matter to the Fox News viewer that MSNBC is calling BS on one party's narrative and vice versa.

Democrats realize that a wall would have limited success when you can simply fly into the country and overstay. Logic.

Democrats also realized Mexico would not pay for the wall, but your tax dollars would.

Tax dollars supporting national security? Can't have that.

I believe humans and drugs have been come into the country through airports. But of course walls can also be climbed, tunnels dug to go under wall and cars can and do carry drugs over the border.

All for spending tax dollars on national security but why do that? we were promised Mexico would pay for it. Wait was that a lie?

What 0.03% of drugs come through the airports? Come on dude, Almost ALL the drugs come through the border. Border walls dont' work??? Tell that to the Israelis. Their wall cut down passageway crossings 99%. 99%!!!!. Do you ever think or just spew the Dem talking points like Agip and fat hurts.

"There's a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans," Kavanagh said in comments to the news outlet. "Democrats value as many people as possible voting, and they're willing to risk fraud. Republicans are more concerned about fraud, so we don't mind putting security measures in that won't let everybody vote—but everybody shouldn't be voting."

You bolded a lie.

Please show where Democrats are willing to risk fraud to get more people to vote.

They simply want more people to vote. That's it. Nothing fraudulent.

You are implying they want to change votes or double count votes or make up results.

Show me Democrats risking fraud.

We saw Trump asking Georgia Secretary of State for votes. That's fraud.

I have an update on Texas solar power. It was said by someone that it wasn't worth it to clear the snow off the panels during the blackout. I have numbers now and we can do some math.

Wholesale electricity rates in Texas are usually under $50 per megawatt hour (MWh). But during the crisis, it hit the maximum allowed price of $9,000 per MWh. And it stayed there for about four days.

As of Q4, 2020, Texas had 7,784.6 MW of solar installed. Let's only consider the peak 5 hours of production each day. And because it's winter, we'll assume 50% of their normal efficiency.

So for 4 days, the solar power produced with snow removed was:

4 days x 5 hours x 0.50 efficiency x 7,784.6 MW = 77,846 MWh

At a price of $9,000 per MWh, the solar industry in Texas could generate $700,614,000 in only 4 days.

For $700 million, I think they could afford to clean off the snow.

Senator ohnson:

"Even though those thousands of people that were marching to the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, and so I wasn't concerned...

" ... Now, had the tables been turned -- Joe, this could get me in trouble -- had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned."
