If you're a Democrat, you have to be thinking about a Harris/Cheney ticket in 2024 because the * administration is a complete disaster.
Obama's administration was a policy disaster, but it was at least a competently implemented disaster.
The Zombie Administration is a disaster in both form and substance.
His administration had someone named "Ducklo" who was mean to women.
If I'm wrong, maybe we can circle back and point out one thing that this guy has done that has gone right.
The only way this could be worse is if the Asterisk Administration contracted out their operation to The Lincoln Project.
Everybody knows the administration can't make things happen.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.

This Administration Is Already a Failure
Violent Antifa protesters turn on Biden after reopening child migrant facility, target Portland businesses
Violent protesters descended on Portland late Saturday, an almost weekly occurrence, this time rioting over President Joe Biden's administration reopening a controversial migrant center designed to house minors who illegally entered the United States without their parents.
Violent protesters, who were reportedly associated with Antifa, marched down the streets of Portland's Pearl District smashing cars and vandalizing businesses.
As protesters chanted for police to "Go home," residents shouted at protesters from their balconies to "Go home."
Videos posted to social media showed hundreds of black-clad protesters creating chaos in the streets.
The pre-planned violence came in response to immigration policy being enacted under Biden, KOIN reported, specifically the reopening of a detention center for unaccompanied migrant children.
The Biden administration said reopening the facility was necessary because of a spike in border crossings and coronavirus-related restrictions meant other government facilities designed to house migrant children have lower-than-normal capacity limits.
Reopening the facility earned Biden condemnation from immigration activists.

Gov. Kristi Noem: COVID Didn't Crush Economy, Government Did
Hailing her state as the only one in the U.S. that did not declare shelter-in-place orders, mask mandates, business closures, or defining essential business, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem fired back at the national failing of U.S. health experts during the pandemic.
"I don't know if you agree with me, but Dr. [Anthony] Fauci is wrong a lot," Noem said during her CPAC speech Saturday, pointing to the top U.S. infectious disease expert who told her South Dakota would get up to 10,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations in a day.
"My administration resisted the call for virus control at the expense of everything else," she continued, noting hospitalizations and not infection rates were her primary concern.
"Truthfully, I never thought that the decisions that I was making were going to be unique. I thought that there would be more than would follow basic conservative principles, but I guess I was wrong."
"Often the enforcement isn't based on facts; justifying these mitigation efforts has been anything but scientific," Noem said.
Noem got laughs as she noted ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to give Noem advice on handling the pandemic.
"Now, that is the media's COVID hero."

Israel's ahead-of-the-world vaccine rollout offers hope for countries lagging behind
Israel's fastest-in-the world vaccine campaign, which reached half its citizens as of Sunday, is offering other countries the first real-life look at how mass inoculation can bend the trajectory of the coronavirus pandemic.
Israel's small population of about 9 million, and its universal national health system, makes it a natural vaccine lab for the world.
Experts are split on what the studies show about how contagious people remain after they are vaccinated, a key issue in slowing the infection's spread. Nor has Israel yet become the example the world craves of life returning to normal.
Within weeks of Israel giving its first vaccinations in late December, snap studies were obtained by the media, tweeted by their authors and publicized by research institutions.
"That is the most important finding in Israel so far - that when it comes to protecting the health-care system, the vaccine is winning," said Ronni Gamzu, Israel's former coronavirus "Czar" and the head of Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Center, one of the country's largest hospitals.
Israel's rapid vaccine deployment is being closely watched around the world, as other nations grapple with their own uneven rollouts amid growing public frustration over health restrictions.
The data from Israel "Shows what you can do when you have an intact health system and a simplified, streamlined health system like Israel's," said Peter J. Hotez, a vaccine and infectious diseases expert at Baylor College of Medicine.
Pay Cuts, Taxes, Child Care: What Another Year of Remote Work Will Look Like
Companies are anticipating another largely remote work year, and new questions about compensation and benefits are weighing on managers.
The company now says that when its workers request-and are approved for-long-term remote work, they must confirm their new location with the company, as it could affect their taxes.
"As they're thinking through this future of work that may involve more remote working, that may involve talent in places that they did not necessarily have before, they will look to make adjustments."
Spotify Technology SA, the audiostreaming company based in Sweden, recently told its employees, which it calls "Band members," that they could work from anywhere within their assigned country and maintain their same pay.
The prolonged remote spell is putting pressure on companies to give parents more help with child care-while being careful not to rankle workers without dependents.
Some companies have offered Covid-related stipends that workers can use for anything from child care to workout equipment.
Cuomo not the only Dem governor with pandemic management lapses
Just look south to Pennsylvania, where Cuomo's Democratic colleague, Tom Wolf, faces bipartisan concerns about his pandemic-era leadership.
Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, Wolf has failed to ensure health and economic security; rejected calls for transparency; refused to work with the legislature; and enacted mandates that harmed working Pennsylvanians.
In December, the nursing home industry filed suit against the Wolf administration for purposefully withholding more than $150 million intended for financially strapped facilities.
As severe restrictions paralyzed Pennsylvania's economy, Wolf rejected calls for transparency or legislative questions about his decision-making.
Over time, Pennsylvanians issued their verdict: Wolf's approval rating precipitously declined.
Throughout 2020, Wolf used his veto powers 19 times, the most of any Pennsylvania governor in decades.
As Pennsylvanians suffer under Wolf's leadership, they will have a chance to force the governor to work with the legislature.

China Buys Western Academics
Beginning in September 2019, in Urumqi, the capital of the Uyghur region of Xinjiang in western China, Christian Mestre, honorary dean of the University of Strasbourg faculty of law, participated in an "International seminar on the fight against terrorism, de-radicalization and the protection of human rights".
That was the beginning of an impressive investigation by the French weekly Le Point on how China has bought the favor of many Western academics.
In France, during the past 15 years, 18 Confucius Institutes have been opened, ostensibly to teach Chinese and promote Chinese culture.
In September 2014, Mestre's faculty of law at Strasbourg University hosted a series of events on Tibet, with lectures, exhibitions, dances and concerts organized "At the request of the Consulate General of China in Strasbourg", according to the terms of an email sent by the dean.
China is evidently seeking to expand its influence in the British education system, as they are in the United States.
The Times revealed that the University of Cambridge received a "Generous gift" from Tencent Holdings, one of the largest technology companies in China involved in state censorship.
