Perhaps they should rename SC the senate?

Realtors with a conscious. "Through her company, Lisa Wise, has helped fund dozens of projects through microgrants for “doers, makers and disruptors in the District.” Over the years, she’s helped buy hundreds of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors for senior homes, put bicycle repair stations in southeast D.C. and even make hot sauce. But her latest project may be her most ambitious yet, taking on the racial wealth gap by paying reparations to Black Americans through grants for first time homebuyers. “The murder of George Floyd compelled Flock to study our privilege as a company,” said Wise, CEO of Flock DC, in a statement over email. “Presumably, our hard work and creativity anchored our success. But did it really? In part, yes. But there is a harder truth to reconcile. And to be candid - that reconciliation will be out of reach until we, as a society, write a future that begins to undo the wrongs of the past when it comes to Black and Brown Americans.” On the other hand you have Florida Realtors spending the $9.1 million dollars commission on this:$130-million-plus beachfront house sale in Palm Beach sets new record

Meanwhile China has announced plans to dominate America. China Says It Will Stop Releasing CO2 within 40 Years Xi told the United Nations yesterday: "We aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060." Beijing has adopted an emissions trading program for its power plants; has aggressively pursued a renewables build-out; and is pushing to electrify freight, taxis and public transit in attempts to improve the country's air quality. The city of Beijing, alone, is planning to convert 20,000 taxis to electric vehicles by year's end, according to the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies." Chinese Electric Cars Will Take Over The World – If We Let Them China’s electric car strategy is starting to go global – and the U.S. is lagging behind Meanwhile Tesla announces expansion after expansion in China.

What Ron and Brent don't understand is what real independence means.It's not subsidizing big oil and a gun safe full of AR-15s. It means not fighting for oil in the middle east. It means real energy independence but Germany is already ahead of America because of trump and the GOP. In Germany, solar panels are transforming home life and offering energy independence In Germany, Solar-Powered Homes Are Really Catching On The country is getting closer to the solar home revolution: a panel on every roof, an EV in every garage, and a battery in every basement. Germany produces enough renewable energy in six months to power country's households for an entire year

The tens of billions that investors poured into fracking bought the US energy independence. Those investors will never see a return on their investment and many will loose every penny. See the dozens of quotes, references in Brent's global cooling and flat earth thread. President Biden has done nothing, yet, to increase the domestic price of energy. But as polls show Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate. In addition Many globally are as concerned about climate change as about the spread of infectious diseases. Small groups who live in mountain hideaways may only care about the price of gas and 5.56 ammo. But most people live in a interconnected world and care about each other.

Ravi Zacharias a influential evangelical leader has been exposed. "Ravi Zacharias Hid Hundreds of Pictures of Women, Abuse During Massages, and a Rape Allegation ...His ministry, preparing to downsize in the wake of a new investigation, expresses regret for “misplaced trust” in a leader who used his esteem to conceal his sexual misconduct." "four-month investigation found the late Ravi Zacharias leveraged his reputation as a world-famous Christian apologist to abuse massage therapists in the United States and abroad over more than a decade while the ministry led by his family members and loyal allies failed to hold him accountable. ...evidence of sexual abuse in Thailand, India, and Malaysia.... Zacharias used tens of thousands of dollars of ministry funds dedicated to a “humanitarian effort” to pay for sex One woman told the investigators that “after he arranged for the ministry to provide her with financial support, he required sex from her.” She called it rape"

See below, Joe was right. If everyone keeps it up she won't need a AC to get to 12.5

In 2019, U.S. agricultural exports to China totaled $13.8 billion, up from $9.1 billion in 2018. China was the third largest market for U.S. agricultural exports From the ASME 'Hasbro Toys announced in 2019 it would move some of its production to Vietnam and India, forecasting the percentage of its goods produced in China would drop to 50 percent, from two-thirds, by the end of 2020. Some multinational firms, such as Intel, Sharp, Apple, and Google, also have announced plans to diversify and move portions of their manufacturing to Vietnam....The average hourly manufacturing compensation in China now sits at $4.12, according to Barclays research, versus, for instance, $1.59 in India." Some jobs can't be brought back to the US. The US has a natural advantage in Ag, commercial aircraft, entertainment, software,etc. China has lost its advantage in clothing and other labor intensive low cost products. India, Vietnam, Indonesia,etc. are new centers for very low cost manufacturing. "President Biden spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time since taking office in a call in which he said he raised issues of human rights, trade policy and international security that divide the two countries while also holding open the possibility of working together on climate change and nuclear proliferation. The call, Wednesday night in Washington, came after Mr. Biden in recent days spoke with a host of allies in Europe and Asia, signaling that he seeks to deal with China as the leader of the world’s democracies rather than solely an American president. The U.S. needs to “join together with others to hold China accountable for its abuses and to shape China’s choices going forward,” said a senior administration official." The correct way is with trade agreements with allies and China. To protect copyrights and use allies to keep China from dumping products and cheating.

Bout time. It leads you to believe again in the US justice system. That its not a

OAN uses the Russian to English translation software so makes sense.

It's all just building up the brand.

I know, I know for listing agents the markets are always hot. Not enough product. It's only after they are under contract that all of a sudden "the market slowed down we need to reduce the price". Thats usually 24 hours after the listing agreement is signed.

Gee Brent, you found your final resting place in SC. Just down the row from trump.

So Canada then!

The agent appraising the property thought the sellers were gullible. So in a tough market he under-priced the appraisal so it would sell quickly. So with little work he gets paid quick and the sellers are SOL. From the Realtor 201 course 'underprice for quick sales and no work".

The NRC is completing a production facility near Montreal(of course). "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today a plan to produce millions of COVID-19 shots at a plant in Montreal starting later this year, securing a domestic supply of vaccines as the global market contends with delivery delays and protectionist measures. The National Research Council-owned Royalmount facility will churn out tens of millions of doses of the product developed by Maryland-based Novavax, Trudeau said. That company submitted its vaccine to Health Canada for regulatory approval last Friday. "This is a major step forward to get vaccines made in Canada, for Canadians.... We need as much domestic capacity for vaccine production as possible," Trudeau said. "We won't rest until every Canadian who wants a vaccine has received one." The agreement will help jump start Canada's largely dormant domestic vaccine manufacturing industry but it will do little to meet the short-term demand for COVID-19 vaccines....The first Canadian-made Novavax vials won't be produced until the end of the year, ' The Sask Covid Vaccine is supposed to be done by the end of the year as well. Saskatoon lab CEO details human trials for Canadian COVID-19 vaccine that doesn't need 'complicated storage'

I have to admit the US is kicking Canada's ass in getting the vaccine into people. Our P.M. bought millions of doses of almost every vaccine variant. Canada was among the first countries to buy. But our idiot and chief must have told the pharma companies that polite Canadians like to wait at the end of the line. Canada 2.4% the US 12.3% and with that rate Canada should be fertile ground for the upcoming S. African/Canuck superspreader variant.

Hey Brent!

This many: "Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 Republican, fended off a challenge from her conference’s right flank to strip her of her leadership position in a secret ballot vote held late Wednesday night after she voted to impeach Donald J. Trump last month. The lopsided vote, 145 to 61, according to two people familiar with the results, showed that even as a majority of House Republicans opposed impeaching Mr. Trump, most were not prepared to punish one of their top leaders for doing so — at least not under a blanket of anonymity. It amounted to both a victory for Ms. Cheney, who refused to apologize for voting to impeach Mr. Trump,"

WTF! "Hunt bears in forest"...Are you sure you didn't receive the Sputnik V vaccine by mistake? That sounds Russian.

So a no on Sinovac?

I'd suggest people read this: Lawyers are Rats: A top legal scholar exposes the corruption of his profession Every State and Province has a separate Bar. One of which licenses and regulates lawyers within that jurisdiction. One fact unique to the bar is that no state or provincial association makes it a requirement to report the crimes of its members to their prosecutors office for prosecution. Even though every prosecutor is required by its association to log onto their association regularly. To keep abreast of association disciplinary actions. of disciplinary issues. Disciplinary matters typically fall into three main areas. Theft of client funds, usually trust funds. Failing to protect a client, i.e. fulfill their fiduciary duties to their clients. Lastly, obstruction of justice. There is the odd matter of discipline that falls outside these three broad areas. But 90% are within these three areas. All lawyers are required by law and their associations to only submit facts and be truthful in every representation to the courts. Its against the law for a "officer of the court" to knowing lie or to deceive the court. As it is for a police officer. Yet for every admission of criminal offense by a lawyer within a disciplinary committee hearing. For every finding by a disciplinary committee of criminal wrongdoing. None results in prosecution. Associated with every association's right to self discipline and self regulate is a fiduciary duty to the public to uphold the law.To put the public interest in and of justice ahead of their own. In addition, to hold "the highest standards of integrity". Yet for every finding of civil wrongdoing or admission of civil wrongdoing. No association has ever informed a civil party subjected to the wrongdoing of their rights to pursue a civil action against that member. Let alone mandated that their members be available, or assigned to prosecute the wrongdoing of another member. The internal investigation mechanisms that police forces have. Which must forward their investigations to prosecutors for review. Don't exist for lawyers. Finally law societies allow their members to withdraw their licenses to practice law in serious criminal, or civil disciplinary matters. Then tell the public that since they are no longer active members. No further actions by the association can be undertaken. Such withdrawal of license also immediately terminates any law society investigations regardless of circumstance.

Poor old white men. The NRA, evangelicals, trump's PAC- "Save America",the FBI against White fascists, non-white immigrants, women abandoning the GOP and getting ejucated to boot. Everything is going in the wrong direction
