I highly doubt that any of the killing in Chicago has to do with politics or Donald Trump. No wonder some things can't get fixed with the obsession some people have on Trump. I don't know that much about the areas of Chicago but can guess that most of the killing involves gang related or other criminal activity such as robbery, car jacking etc. I don't see a bunch of people sitting around talking about Biden and Trump and then start killing each other. It more about money, drugs, relationships, power, turf, etc.

I think prior infection should be considered because it can give the person immunity for a few months. That's about the same, and maybe better in some people than the current vaccine and booster.

Are there any statistics on who the victims are in Chicago? I know there are a lot of murders in Chicago and thought the majority of them were gang bangers killing each other mainly in south Chicago.

This terrorist was not an American citizen.

Is that your two cents to every comment? Are you Barney Fife with a new name?

I've seen a couple reports that black people were given priority on covid treatments in two states. One was NY which wasn't a surprise but the second one was...it was Utah. The articles also went on to say that certain older black people had a higher risk because of other factors so that's what really prioritized the treatment. I don't have a problem prioritizing based on risk assessment but if it was based solely on race that would be wrong. I don't think that happened at least for the most part. There could always be a doctor somewhere that did.

Unless it was Brad Ausmus. He didn't get enough credit for taking down a good team. Back on topic and not directed to TIger337...Businessesare not going to absorb higher costs. They are going to pass them on to the consumer like we are seeing. One area they have higher costs is in energy and fuel. Biden's policy of shutting down pipelines and cutting back domestic oil production has contributed to energy cost increases. If the dem tax increase on business goes through that will not help either. Its just more costs passed on to us.

If you look at things objectively and not with partisan blinders on you will see the truth better. Presidents get wrongly blamed for things and then given credit for things they have nothing to do with. It won't ever change and we see it everywhere including right here on this forum.

If you look back at my comment I didn't say a policy change cause the supply chain issues. I said I thought three things contributed to inflation in the US and that would be covid, supply chain issues and policy change.

I think you are a little off topic under the gun thread 😊 I did see the list of EO orders that Younkin signed and I didn't see anything major so this probably a partisan complaint on Fred's part. Maybe it was the part about establishing a committee on anti-Semitism. That hits home with a lot of dems.

Boris Johnson has been in office for a few years now. Has he changed any policy that would cause inflation? I don't know the answer but inflation in his country is probably due to similar reason it is in the US. I think inflation in the US started to increase soon after Biden took office. Is it 100% his fault? I wouldn't say it is but some of his policies contributed to it. Covid and supply chain issues are a big part of the problem. Biden takes a hit on this because he said he would get covid under control and that the supply chain issues would be fixed. That's never happened and covid is way worse than its ever and the supply chain issues are also as bad as ever. Biden would have been better saying nothing than trying to take credit for something that he thought would or might happen. His "talk" with the longshoreman didn't do anything. Great Britain is also seeing record Covid numbers so that's probably a big contributor to the problem.

I must care what you say since I respond to you. This is an opinion board and we are trading opinions. I will say the thing I said about the DirectTV/OAN thing has been very misunderstood. At this point I would agree to disagree and move on.

Actually changing Senate rules is more a danger to the democracy of the US. We found out last week it was 10 guys in fatigues that trained in their moms backyard that are accused of doing something at the Capitol. That hasn't even been proven yet. The rest of the people were protestors and if you go by the democrat definition they were peaceful protestors. I have a better chance of winning every powerball lottery for the rest of the year than those 10 guys had of succeeding. I don't think there is a force big enough anywhere in the world to overtake the US government. On the other hand if the dems eliminate the filibuster they will push through anything they want and one of those things is the voting rights fallacy bill that will take power away from the states and enable them to make their own rules for the elections. Their new voting rules will heavily favor democrats and the chance of any other party winning an election again would be slim to none. Who knows what else they will push through and its scary if you look at their track record now. They are not working for the US or the American citizens. They want to go to war with Russia over Ukraine but won't lift a finger to protect the US border. If things were reversed and Republicans were pushing for Senate rule changes you would be having a fit.

I'm not complaining about DirectTV dropping OAN. I could really care less since I've actually never watched it. I'll say it for the third or fourth time I was commenting on the post made about wanting to get rid of all right wing media. Liberals love to silence the opposition! This link shows the rating of ALL cable networks. Fox News viewership is down in 2021 because it wasn't an elections year but is still number one, even ahead of ESPN. Fox News viewership is a little less than CNN and MSNBC combined. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/124-cable-channels-ranked-average-193000903.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

That's funny but its far from being Lauren Boebert. Just a young kid that hasn't been taught much about her parents car. Since she's a young person chances are she's a democrat supporter since most are. See why I don't have much hope for the younger generation and the future of our country.

The same could be said for the liberal media. They support ending the filibuster and the dem's voting fraud bill that will allow them to rule the country forever which would end the democracy. The dems loved the filibuster when they were the minority but hate it now because they can't push through their power hungry attack on the American people.

How are they worse than CNN, MSNBC or all of the msm? These outlets like to campaign openly for the democrats, ignore things that make the dems look bad and report half truths to lead their minions around by the nose to make them think the democrats are actually for the US and the American citizens. Have you ever asked yourself why Fox News is the highest rated cable news network by a long way.

See my comment above.

Yep I agree. What channels a company airs is all about how much it costs them and how many viewers they get in return. I can see where you are coming from but I wasn't referring to a business decision with my comment. I was referring to the "one down two to go" comment. If someone doesn't like something then don't watch. The idea of wanting to shut down one side of the political media because you don't like their message is wrong in my opinion.

Ahhh, the age old democrat game plan....silence the opposition.

In the link provided Michigan was 10th in the number of deaths. I think they are also right around the 10th most populous state so that would be about normal. Here is another link that basically backs up the other info. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

The same one that the democrat candidates crawl out of.

A lot of Americans find it interesting that the Biden administration is more concerned about the Ukrainian border than the US border. I wish there was as much concern for our southern border.

Your choice to led around blind by your political leaders. I just know people can't increase their knowledge with their head in the sand.

I don't know if more people would be vaxxed if Trump was in office. Dem supporters would be against it then. Harris and a few other dems started this when they said they weren't taking any vaccine that came from the Trump admin.
