Fact Check on Trump statement that Coronavirus vaccine could come by year end.

NBC News says would take a miracle by the end of the year. It will take 18 months say experts.

Anyone mentioning this now.

Federalist makes a list of all the negative stories about Trump getting a vaccine before the end of the year.

Naturally this will be Biden’s first success as President if he eventually takes office.

saw something on news max about the wall and its pieces and parts have already been purchased, including high tech cameras, lights, steel, concrete posts etc and it would cost several billions to stop the construction as contracts have been signed and if plug was pulled the government is still on hook for all the items purchased and contract. Just like building a ship. I think trumps team was smart to negotiate the contracts the way they did to ensure the program must keep moving our cost nearly 2x what it was contracted for.
hopefully media gets this tidbit out there .

Oh I don't think it will bother the Democrats to waste huge amounts of money to cancel a needed project and screw America. Nancy plugged up Covid relief for months in the effort to defeat DJT, and Cuomo killed thousands of old people enacting his policies, so dumping a couple billion down the drain won't make them even blink.

And...they'd be able to sweep the dumping of taxpayer money under the rug because of the DPMA...the Democratic Party Media of America. It'll never make the news. If there's a plus side (if the wall stops amid huge penalties) it's assured that Trump mandated money for the wall be spent in America with American suppliers and service companies. At least the wasted money might stay within the American economy. If it had been done in the Obama/Biden administration, at least half that money would have been contracted overseas.

UAE, Bahrain delegations take part in Western Wall Hanukkah lighting ceremony

A delegation from both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain took part Monday evening in the central menorah lighting at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, in a ceremony described by the site’s chief rabbi as a “Hanukkah miracle.”

Thank goodness we elected Joe Biden, someone who can bring people together. Just look at what he's already helped accomplish! Just a few years ago, who would ever have thought such a thing was possible?

biden will destroy the middle east peace progress of the last 4 years. UAE and Saudis are not afraid or respect biden. Trump did several things to get the arabs back on the track so to speak. 1st was making the U.S. energy independent, 2nd making the U.S. the #1 exporter of finished petroleum products and we still import vast amounts of crude, of which we turn around and send back out as finished products, we also export more natural gas. this made us able to get out from under the thumb of opec. Biden will crush our process and we will be back to bending to the whims of opec again. then we loose all leverage..
paris accord is a crying shame. the U.S. gets punished while everyone else gets a pass for 10 to 20 years, Germany gets hits hard but has many ways to pass the cost on to the U.S. its shameful. China, India and a get no restrictions for the nearly 20 years and IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA as well as most other arab nations are not party to the deal and yet we keep taking it in the shorts. if we want to feel good about climate. get all the arab nations on board first and make them live by those rules. then get our machines that were developed HERE, out on ships to remove the plastics form the ocean and turn it into fuel stock with only dry ash as the waste product. this tech keeps being hid because it works and once its up and running, will run off its own product.

The number of emails I’ve received from the “Trump Team” in the last two weeks is more than I received during the entire 2020 campaign. I’ve “unsubscribed” several times and they just keep coming, several a day. Very annoying.

I have had the same issue with cell phone text messages. We are talking several a day. I click block and they come in under different phone numbers the next day. It is becoming annoying.

Barr says no reason to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate fraud in the election and for Biden's son's tax issues.

Absolutely no reason at all. The new administration is fully capable of investigating these two items in a quick thorough and deliberate manner. I fully expect that they will find there was no fraud at all and that Hunter Biden is a saint and it was just a political witch hunt just before the election that caused all this hub bub.

I also expect it will be completed with in the first month if Biden takes the oath of office.

Trump's biggest mistake after taking office was to hire people who previously were in politics for the jobs he had to fill.

Regardless of credentials, they all owed their allegiance to the swamp.

Trump pardons a bunch of people who were supporters including Paul Manafort.

But there is not much talk of this. A female police officer whose dog bit an escaping burglar. She got one year for every stitch it took to close the wound on the burglar. She apparently did everything she was trained to do. But the FBI got involved and after two trials they finally got their woman cop.

She spent the full ten years in prison. Missed her two year old son growing up. Lost her career and a decade of her life.

Back East of course.

Trump pardoned her for Christmas.

A lot of injustice in this world, I'm afraid its only going to get worse.

Where do we start?

[philip964]

December 25, 2020 Trump has his last Christmas in the White House for a while. No cute little stories about this in the New York Times naturally.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/24/us/p ... -2000.html

Trump wants a $2000 stimulus for the people, Democrats try but fail to get it passed.

[philip964]

December 26, 2020 Trumps Tweets for today. Looks like he is boarding a plane maybe to Florida?

https://news.yahoo.com/factbox-trump-tw ... 58103.html

Lots of complaints from the news media that he is holding up unemployment benefits to get the $2000 for everyone.
