  1. Joe Biden Promises To End Traditional 401(k)-Style Retirement Savings Tax Benefits. What’s That Mean?
  2. From My Local Paper, the silent majority speaks loudly soon. L&T Publisher Earl Watt Liberal lost Dr. Rick Fitzgerald last week from complications related to the coronavirus, and President Donald Trump and several governmental leaders also came down with the illness. But to claim any of these people died because of a pandemic is not factual. They were killed by communist China and should be considered casualties of war. China created this virus and lost control of it at a lab in Wuhan. No one is even questioning why they were working on such a virus in the first place. There seems to be no apparent reason for creating such a deadly strain, nor is there any excuse for allowing it to be released. Instead of referring to this for what it truly is — biological warfare — it was classified as a worldwide pandemic. And who made that determination? The World Health Organization, which is another New World Order organization designed to erase borders and advocate for worldwide socialism. How can a virus be considered biological warfare? It’s not hard to put the puzzle together. With the United States taking a hard line stand against the unfair trading practices of communist China, and other nations starting to join America’s understanding of the uneven trading practices with communist nations, the focus on freedom and capitalism had to be disrupted. On its own, socialism has always failed. But the Pope this weekend stated free market capitalism has failed the world in this “pandemic.” That’s when my light went on. This was never about an accidentally released virus from a lab. This wasn’t something transferred from bats in a wet market. This was intentional. Over and over socialists have attacked the free market and have failed because nothing has led to a higher standard of living and freedom than capitalism. Over the past few years behind Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist movement in the United States was about as high as it has ever been. But with Donald Trump using capitalist policies, the world was starting to see the advantages of placing a focus on individual nations rather than the collectivism pushed by the New World Order socialists. His philosophy didn’t come at the detriment of other nations. To the contrary, the America First policies pushed by Trump provided a template for other nations on how to better serve their own population. Just when the economy was booming, just when everything was moving toward more freedom and less government, the Chinese unleashed death and destruction on the world that could only lead to one outcome — the need for more government. Think about it, the only winners since this virus was released on the planet have been big government disciples. The only people who have floated to the top of politics have been those pushing for a government takeover of the health care system, the economic system and even your social calendar. People worked hard to earn money for their families, but in the snap of a finger the government was ready, willing and able to pay you to stay home instead, as if that could be a realistic option for the long term. Many believed it, and they turned over their belief in freedom for the control only a socialist government can provide. We will eventually come to the reality that there is little that can be done to stop the virus, but by then, the socialists will have taken control of the health care system, the private business sector and all public gatherings. With that much control, confiscating guns will be the last step in the complete socialist takeover worldwide. This was not a pandemic at all but an orchestrated act of war on freedom. And like all movements to socialism, fear drove people to voluntarily give up their freedom in the false hope the government could save them from an invisible biological enemy released by a nation hostile to the core beliefs of liberty. Many have died, but they were patriots in the battle of freedom, not victims of a pandemic. This was not a naturally occurring phenomenon but an intentional creation by China. America has always been challenged by suppressive forces, and we have been able to fend them off as clear attempts to strip us of our God-given rights. It is strange that at the same time Americans are told to discredit the Founding Fathers, it is the principles of those Founding Fathers that provided the most free nation the world has ever seen, and it is their dedication to freedom that is despised by the socialist left. Instead of turning back to the values that lead to a free people, the symbols of freedom are under attack, from statues to the flag itself. This virus has been embraced by big government and the big government media as a means to discredit free people. The virus is dangerous. It is deadly. And it was an act of war, not just on America but on liberty itself. In facing the danger we have been willing to sacrifice the core values of America when we should be embracing the very values that fight against these terrorist actions. After 9/11 we realized the best step we could take to defeat the terrorists was to live our lives the way we did before the terrorists struck. We realized that freedom was under attack, and the terrorists would win if we allowed government to seize control. Under the guise of a pandemic, we have given up the same liberties guaranteed a free people. Yes, we must protect the vulnerable, but the rest of us should reject the big government takeover. In the words of Patrick Henry, “I know not what course other may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” Given the choice of living under a socialist takeover of America or dying by living in freedom, I choose the latter.
  3. Four years from now I am just curious what you will be saying about President Cumala Harris, because they will have Biden declared unfit for office within the first year in office. That is because mentally he is unfit for office, and should have told them no, I don't want this. If you really believe the world is laughing at President Trump, just wait, it will really be worth laughing at if that crazy Harris/Biden ticket comes to power here in the US. It will be far worse for all than when the worthless and weak President Jimmy Carter took office and tanked the US both at home and abroad.
  4. Something to really think about : t’s been said that if you go to the desert and catch 100 red fire ants, as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen .. they simply co-exist. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground, the ants will fight each other for no apparent reason until they eventually kill one another. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is quite similiar to what’s happening in society today. The real question we need to be asking ourselves is “Who is shaking the jar .. and why?”
  5. Here you go if you really seek the truth instead the Media Spin of the facts !!! Trump actions on coronavirus saved hundreds of thousands of lives, new report shows Democratic governors ignored guidance on nursing homes, resulting in tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced a new select subcommittee to investigate and oversee the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans knew we were in for a fight. Democrats were going to use this subcommittee to relentlessly hamper, harass and pass blame on the Trump administration in the middle of the worst pandemic in a century. Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis as we’ve tried to cut through the noise and partisanship. After over a dozen hearings, Democrats have still failed to uncover any major fault in the Trump administration’s pandemic response.However, despite Democrats’ best efforts to obstruct our investigations, select subcommittee Republicans established several key takeaways about the Trump administration’s pandemic response, as well as some shocking revelations about Democratic governors’ deadly “must admit” orders in nursing homes. Here are the key findings our report, which we issued Friday. China lied about the dangers of COVID-19 China falsely downplayed the seriousness of the disease while simultaneously hoarding personal protective equipment and allowing Chinese nationals — including thousands from Wuhan, where the coronavirus originated — to travel abroad. People traveling from China seeded the virus throughout every corner of the globe, while China denied other nations the resources they needed to fight the virus. Democrats have resisted any attempt to investigate China’s duplicity and lies, because this would distract from their core mission of blaming President Trump for the coronavirus pandemic. Trump responded immediately to the coronavirus threat In the face of resistance and accusations of xenophobia from Democrats and many in the media, President Trump closed our borders to China, and then to Europe and other high-risk areas. President Trump launched the “15 Days to Slow the Spread” initiative in mid-March, then extended this initiative for another 30 days — protecting at-risk populations across the nation. Trump made effective decisions that saved lives The president’s tough and effective decisions — based on the advice of our nation’s top medical professionals — saved hundreds of thousands of lives. In testimony before the select subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci said lives were saved because of the president’s actions to ban flights from China and Europe; extend the flight ban to the United Kingdom; and implement the program “15 Days to Slow the Spread,” and then extend that program another 30 days. Fauci is the internationally respected director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The president has led an unprecedented effort against the coronavirus The Trump administration has launched initiatives to produce and distribute personal protective equipment, create the world’s best coronavirus testing infrastructure, reduce COVID-19 fatalities through better treatments, and create a safe and effective vaccine faster than any in human history. President Trump used the Defense Production Act to unilaterally reshore manufacturing of personal protective equipment and pharmaceuticals from overseas to benefit American families. As of Sept. 20, the federal government has coordinated the delivery or production of 243 million N95 masks, 1.1 billion surgical masks and 27.9 billion gloves — and stockpiled 135,784 ventilators. The U.S. also implemented national testing plans from scratch and now leads the world in testing, performing nearly 1 million COVID-19 tests daily. Most importantly, President Trump launched Operation Warp Speed and authorized billions of federal dollars to fund a visionary and historic moonshot program to deliver 300 million doses of a safe, effective vaccine by January 2021. Four vaccines under the program are already in Phase 3 (final) trials. Thousands died when Democratic governors sent infected people to nursing homes Democratic governors ignored guidance from the Trump administration and sent coronavirus-positive patients back to nursing homes, resulting in tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Subcommittee Democrats had little interest in uncovering the devastating and scandalous behavior of the Democratic governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California. But thousands of grieving families demanded answers from Congress. Republicans stepped up to investigate. For example, New York state has seen over 32,000 COVID-19 deaths. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s deadly “must admit” order led to the deaths of at least 6,600 elderly Americans. In fact, The Associated Press recently reported that the Cuomo administration is likely undercounting the nursing home deaths, estimating the true count to be around 11,000 elderly Americans — over a third of total COVID-19 deaths in New York alone. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the deadly “must admit” orders of these governors. The above takeaways — along with a thorough timeline, accounting of numbers, and missteps of Democrats in their desperation to attack President Trump — are compiled in the report we Republicans on the select subcommittee released Friday. Our report is not a counter-narrative to Democrats’ so-called investigative efforts. We have produced authoritative investigative conclusions by members of the select subcommittee who are dedicated to the fight against this evil virus. We simply need faith, confidence, and national plans. Republicans have all three in spades. Democrats only know how to shut down our economy, shut down our churches, shut down our schools, and shut down our belief in ourselves. Under President Trump’s leadership, working together, we will defeat COVID-19 and fully restore the greatest economy our country has ever seen.
  6. Are you serious ? good luck Comrade !!!! I understand you want to speak Russian, or Chinese or Korean LMAO you are the reason the America's were founded so many years a go !!!!
  7. Chris Wallace weak and worthless as a Moderator, not to mention and most important he was not impartial as a Moderator
  8. Just a few questions I might have asked Former Vice President Joe Biden: Wake up! No name calling, no hate. Facts Questions for Biden at debate, that will never be asked. 1. Why did members of your family keep getting lucrative business opportunities overseas while you were vice president? 2. How did your brother, Frank, secure $45,000,000 in taxpayer loans from the Obama administration for his Caribbean projects? 3. How did a newly-minted firm employing your other brother, James, receive a $1.5 billion contract to build homes in Iraq despite having no experience in construction or international development? 4. Why did your son Hunter accompany you on your official trip to Beijing in December 2013? What did he do on that trip? Who did he meet with? What should the American public make of the fact that just 10 days after this trip, your son’s boutique private equity firm secured a $1 billion investment deal from the state-owned bank of China (later expanded to $1.5 billion) despite having no prior experience in China, and with this deal, the Chinese government granted your son’s firm a first-of-its-kind arrangement to operate in the the recently formed Shanghai Free-Trade Zone—a perk not granted to any of the large established financial institutions? 5. Should the American public be concerned that your son’s private equity firm partnered with a Chinese government-owned aerospace and defense conglomerate to facilitate the purchase of an American company that produced strategically sensitive dual-use military technology that the Chinese government wanted? 6. Does your “Build Back Better” proposal contain any provisions to ensure that American taxpayer-funded technology is not bought off by Chinese state-backed enterprises working with private equity firms like your son’s? 7. Back in 2000, you voted in favor of giving permanent Normal Trade Relations (NTR) to China. At the time, you said that this would not lead to “the collapse of the American manufacturing economy” because China is “about the size of the Netherlands” and could not possibly become “our major economic competitor.” Furthermore, you predicted that free trade with China would establish “a path toward ever greater political and economic freedom” for the people of China. Do you still stand by these statements today after 3.4 million American jobs have been lost to China and millions of China’s citizens have been imprisoned, surveilled, disappeared, and used as slave labor by an increasingly authoritarian regime enriched by 20 years of record trade imbalances from flagrant trade violations? 8. The People’s Republic of China has a bold plan called “Made in China 2025” to dominate the key technologies of the future in order to overtake the United States militarily and economically. Do you still contend that China is “not competition for us”? 9. Why did you promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to financial special interest groups when research was clear that the deal would make it easier for corporations to move U.S. jobs overseas? 10. Do you believe Xi Jinping kept his promise to Barack Obama to end cyber-espionage against the United States? If not, what are you prepared to do about it? 11. Do you accept that the coronavirus originated in China? Do you think China was honest with the world in its handling of the coronavirus? Are you satisfied with China’s explanations for how it spread? Do you believe their claims about the number of cases and fatalities in China? 12. Do you think China should be held responsible in any way for its handling of the coronavirus? If not, why not? What, if any, repercussions should there be for China in its handling of the coronavirus? 13. Did you suggest investigating Michael Flynn under the Logan Act, as Peter Strzok’s notes suggest? 14. You said in your DNC acceptance speech that America is ready to “do the hard work of rooting out our systemic racism.” What did you do in your 36 years as a U.S. senator and 8 years as vice president to root out systemic racism? Why didn’t it work? 15. You have called for “revolutionary institutional changes.” What does that mean in practice? 16. You have vowed to rescind the Trump tax cuts. Can you think of a single example of a country that recovered from a recession by raising taxes?
  9. Joe Biden deflected the questions on Foreign policy, Packing the court, the Senate filibuster, Manifesto Mandate, Green New Deal, Hunter Biden's involvement with Russia, Ukraine, and China by deflecting to his son who did serve in the military, and died from cancer. President Trump was not treated equally by a very Biased Moderator Chris Wallace who instead of doing his job and being fair and impartial moderator was always stopping the President from interrupting, but only once did I hear him say to Joe Biden to quit interrupting. He was definitely catering to a weaker candidate in Joe Biden. Joe Biden stammered and stuttered trying recall many facts which was to be expected. The President was his combative self as he has been for almost four years now as was to be expected because he has been under constant attack by congress and the Media. I found President Trump to be Trump and former Vice President Biden to be Biden, I don't think they changed anyone's minds from this debate. I do feel that president Trump held to his conservatives values and that Joe Biden may have burned some bridges in the radial left wing of the democratic party. President Trump did not in any way burn any bridges with radical right wing of the Republican party. We really need a strong fair and impartial Moderator to take control the next debate. The American people lost this debate as it was nothing more than a 6 round fight night. Best line of the night: I have done more in 47 months than you have Mr. Biden in 47 years. Second best line of the night: What Law enforcement agencies have you had pledge their support , just name one, Biden could not name one. Third best line of the night: They came after me trying to do a coup,” Trump said. “ Now we’ve caught ’em all.” “President Obama, he knew about it too and so did you Joe,” Trump added, “So don’t tell me about a free transition of power.” Forth best line of the night: Mr. Vice President, have you even once called or contacted any of the Governors or Mayors who have been dealing with some as many 3 months of sustained violence ? Mr. Biden I am not the an elected official yet. Bu that is not true you have said tonight that it is your democratic party and you represent your party so again I ask have you tried to contact any of the governors or mayors that are dealing with the ongoing violence. Biden's answer was to change the topic. And Last: Oh I see I not only have to debate Joe but I also have to debate you too Chris I thought you were the Moderator. BTW Chris Wallace you need to do your own Fact Checking for once, Joe Biden as you eloquently called him all night long Mr. Vice President instead Former Vice President is incredibly disrespectful to Mike Pence the current Vice President.
  10. It is a long video but if you really want to know the truth about Covid-19 it is explained very well with graphs, for the entire world. Once again the facts speak volumes. please take the time to watch this video if you really want to know the truth about Covid-19 and it's epidemic throughout the world and why things are happening the way they are and actually what to expect.
  11. I carry a solid twelve handicap, and Sunday played in two man scramble with my middle son, it is called an over (50) and under(50) two man event, we shot 2 over on a tough course, then shot 2 under on the second day to finish tied for 5th. I have shot 78 at Buffalo Dunes, it is in golf digest's top 100 public courses. Just one eagle this year, don't have the length to get home in two anymore, lots of birdies and double bogeys HAHA. The grandkids are loving seeing more of grandpa. Yes of course I watched the US Open, they had that course playing tough on those guys.
  12. This is the key words for everyone to consider and now back to retirement. Despite being a member for a bit over 4 years , I don’t like to participate at the comments , for me it is just too much that people here , instead of enjoying the content with the variety of opinions and in a way making ourselves always think a bit more , on the contrary , there are / have been phrasal attacks with whoever is expressing something different than the belief that users / members have according to their own opinions , first of the RLC project , then the participants and ultimately the members of the forum . I simply believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion , showing respect to the participants and forum members , insults and irony to both categories , it is really annoying and pity to read and therefore deterrent for me personally to participate in all this . Still I am always interested in reading some very interesting opinions and views . As well as so many others who are members of this forum !!! We should by all means welcome everyone to this forum and let them know that their views and opinions are valued and welcomed by all the membership of the forum community. Two Thumbs up Foamy
  13. This is reality folks. Don’t turn away from this picture!!! Look at it! This women showed her will to survive and proved she had a winning mindset! She was shot twice in the face, multiple times in her arms and she stood tall and refused to give up...she placed a tourniquet on her partner, coordinate emergency response and got herself and her partner off the X, all while providing cover to her partner, who was also shot multiple times in the head and arms. And all the while “protesters” were blocking the hospital entrances and cheering for the death of these officers. Where are YOU standing America? Time to draw the line. These are the men and women protecting your lives day in and day out.
  14. Shelby County woman who passed away 6 months ago gets letter saying she is COVID-19 positive She died in February but the test supposedly took place in June. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Shelby County man questions what is going on at the Shelby County Health Department. His mother died six months ago, but the health department just sent her a letter saying she is COVID-19 positive. Troy Whittington said he was surprised when he opened the letter this week from the Shelby County Health Department. He knew what was in that letter was false. "It's impossible for someone to be tested on June 20, who passed away on February 16th," said Whittington. "I tried to call the health department this morning, ask them why this was going on. She said she would have to get a supervisor. She was sorry for the mistake or she couldn't tell me any information till she got a supervisor, and I haven't heard back from them." Whittington said this situation makes him question not only the Shelby County Health Department's COVID 19 statistics, but statistics across the country.
  15. Just like with a shooting star, it starts out so very bright in the night sky, then it slowly begins to fade into the darkness of the night sky. It is time to take my putter out of the closet and go shoot my age on our local links. I have a couple of grandchildren soon to be old enough to play with grandpa. I wish to thank the Admin for giving all of us voyeurs a place to express ourselves. Thank you Sir. To all of the members, keep on posting and I can only hope you will enjoy this site as much as I have. Rider
