  • China goes into Trumpster mode.


    TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chinese state media have stoked concerns about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, despite rigorous trials indicating it is safe.

    • I remember back when the WHO parrotted China's line that Covid wasn't contagious and, oh yeah, refuses to recognize Taiwan so it has no interest in how they so successfully dealt with the virus. So glad that Chairman Biden went crawling back to the WHO to lick China's boots.

      I also remember back when we wouldn't say it was a Chinese virus without being labelled a racist and when it was "xenophohic" and "racist" to ban folks travel from China.

      Ah, those were the days.

      • China expressing lies in their state controlled media is like saying Mario Andretti drives race cars real fast.

        Only difference is, the US media treats it as truth when it suits their objective.

        Oh yeah, and China has spent the last several days showing its approval of the new US president, by sending warplanes to buzz Taiwan's air defense network.

        I doubt Joe even noticed.

              He says too much "partisanship" and "gridlock". Maybe legitimately burned out, maybe not.

              Indirectly may help DeWine because all the top tier challengers will probably chase the Senate seat instead of going after him.

                  That could break the Yost/Husted battle that was coming for Governor.

                  • Husted, Steve Stivers, Mike Turner, Jim Jordan, maybe Renacci again. Lot of people will hungrily look at that open seat.

                    Other than Tim Ryan I can't even name another plausible Dem

                    • The Ohio Dems are utter garbage. You nee your boy Sherrod to cling to his seat for as long as he possible can.

                      I wouldn't be surprised to see Husted make a run. Of course, a lot depends on DeWine and 2022. But assuming he runs again, Husted would seem like the logical choice. That would put Yost squarely in line for Gov in 2026.

                            Most didn’t really check on anything with Biden other than he wasn’t Trump.

                            • Someone here said that voters care what affects them and mostly on the local level. At this point, I'm not worried about the repeal of the "transgender ban." The closet to home this hits for me is the potential for transgender males who don't identify themselves by their male sex at birth and now identify as a women playing women's sports. Not yet though. The NCAA and IOC have already addressed this issue and Biden's EO has no direct effect. It might in the future but not yet.

                              Transgender athletes who compete at the college and Olympic levels already are subject to special requirements.

                              The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) does not require gender-confirming surgery or legal recognition of a player's transitioned sex in order for transgender athletes to participate on a team that matches their identity, according to Transathlete.com. The NCAA Policy on Transgender Student-Athlete Participation sets separate hormone requirements for trans male and trans female athletes.

                              A trans female student-athlete must complete one calendar year of testosterone suppression treatment in order to compete on the women's team.

                              A trans male student-athlete who received a medical exception for treatment with testosterone may compete on the men's team but is no longer eligible to compete on the women's team.

                              Individual colleges, universities and programs may have their own policies regarding transgender athletes.

                              The executive order addresses that Title VII and Title IX protect against discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. While it did not specifically address transgendered women in sports, the order might open the possibility for state and federal laws and policies to be challenged in court, which could lead to transgender women competing on women's sports teams.


                              I've already stated I opposed Trump's wall given that other options to control illegal entry were available and I suspect Biden will pursue some of these in place of building more walls. Stating that "caravans of illegals" will soon be arriving in the southern boarder states and implying they will cross unimpeded into the US is ridiculous.
                              Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                              • Well, to be fair, that's all that Biden was advised to campaign on. The dems had spent the last 4 years concocting any and every plot the destroy Trump and he was their Plan 9 from Outer Space.
