Sorry to hear about Pete, Lenn. But I have to admit, it made me chuckle.

Yes...sorry Lenn, but like Ozzie...made me chuckle too. Sucks about Pete though

Surprised Amelia Earhart wasn't on the list....but the list is pretty good

BrownE: I think our enemies try to "test our patience" at the start of every Presidential administration... at least it seems that way. 

They have a great advantage inasmuch as they know we elect our leaders on a regular schedule. 

As a result, they can "load up" and make extensive plans during election years so they're ready to make trouble when new guys come into office.

Sounds about right Bob...I always want the President of the United States to do well regardless if they are Democratic or Republican  affiliation.  Unfortunately these are especially difficult times to navigate through world politics  with a pandemic ravishing most of the world

It's interesting how different our little slice of the nation is compared to the nation as a whole

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/552596-biden-hits-63-percent-approval-rating-in-new-ap-poll

How can anyone approve of a president who can only hold a press conference with pre-selected reporters asking pre-determined questions?

And he still manages to mess it up.

He doesn't know what's going on along our southern border, and says he can't answer questions without getting himself into trouble.

Who would he be in trouble with?

He's the president. Also Iran is pushing for nukes, N. Korea is testing missiles again. Israel and Palestinians are fighting as of today. Iran is threatening our ships again. China is threatening places like Taiwan. Russia is moving closer to Ukraine. Gas is up. Inflation is up. Illegals with Covid are flowing in. and on and on and on.. Crime is everywhere. It's patently a lie to say he's at 63% approval. There's no way this is accurate....andf I am an independent.

Woody,

I am curious, if the mainstream media is "hiding all these stories" how did you learn about them? 


Also, I am curious to think with the US being one of the world leaders in Covid cases, why you believe that immigrants from countries with lower Covid rates are "spreading Covid all over the country"?

Finally this statement raised a couple of questions

How did you learn that the media was the "enemy of the truth"?

Why is the media "the enemy of the truth"?  and how did you learn this?

Finally, what is this "narrative" you speak of?  Where did you learn about this "narrative"?


Edit to add:  Woody, I tried to verify your poll claims, this is the best I could find

Biden/ Harris hasn't had to deal with even a fraction of the non-stop media sniping Trump had to deal with. It allows Biden to appoint Harris a person who agrees with the abolishment of ICE and hasn't done a presser in 40+ days and why it seemingly doesn't matter there is no coherent plan to plug the border holes Biden created. They have no such problem throwing billions around to their friends and special interest groups.

We ARE Cruisers. maybe 25+ by now. Since my darling wife retired we do 2,3 maybe 4 a year and this Covis is killing us. I ain't getting any younger. If you EVER want any info on cruising, ports, ships, cruise lines, just let me know, whether on here, thru a PM, or email me.

As far as Alaska is concerned, we've done it 3 times already, we really love that area. And you had better hurry up. Many of the glaciers are melting at an alarming rate.

Thanks Lenn...will do( i will defiantly talk to you before booking a cruise to Alaska). God bless you and your family.

Unless you are brave enough to try and get a Russian visa, the best way to get there is via a cruise, which usually stops there for 2 days and nights. That's the way we saw it and God willing, and if this darn Covid lets up, we are scheduled to go back summer of 2022.

Just a magnificent city.

Thanks Lenn...( sorry for the late response..hospital busy and I had to work the evening shift due to the technologist getting covid). I have never been on a cruise...want to do the Alaska cruise. Sounds like a Russian Cruse would be cool too. And ..yes God willing Covid will die soon

Thanks for sharing those pictures Lenn.....they are amazing. I heard nothing but nice things about  St Peterburg..and their architecture. Definitely on my bucket list.

Interesting places.

Many I haven't been to and probably will never get to, but I have been to some like Subway in St Petersburg, Russia, and the one in Stockholm. along with several of the ones in the USA and the ' lava tube' in Hawaii.

That's cool Lenn. I got to check out the Lave Tube.....the one I really would like to see is 3. Waipu Caves
The main event in New Zealand

Some of these places are really cool. Has anyone here been to any of the 50 places?
