Even in California, her home state, support for Pelosi isn’t high. Letting her retain the speakership could prove to be a poor choice for the Democratic Party,

It appears that Jon Ossoff and Radical Socialist Raphael Warnock (as he was called by his opponent) have won the regular and special senate elections in Georgia, respectively. This means Democrats will have control of the US senate by the narrowest of margins, 50-50 with the vice president being the tie-breaker.

Thank you, Mister President, for this January 5th 2020 statement on something Pence supposedly said yesterday or the day before.

 

 

Oh yes, good old Trump :p
LA 28 Opening Ceremony, Trump's speech: "O! O! O! O! O!" ;) - thank God it won't happen.

History will mark this day as the day when the USA stopped being a white ruled country .

Guess we'll all see how that goes 

 

For those who argue this isn't true I say Biden is just a very old and very temporary figurehead 

 

I have read that of the top 16 Cabinet positions selected only 4 are white  ( that is white non Hispanic and non Jewish or Gentile  )

 

( For those who argue otherwise in USA all Hispanics are categorised as Hispanic -even the King  of Spain . Jews increasingly call themselves non white partly so all Jews are in the same grouping )

 

Not to say that whites are impotent but they now will always  need non white allies to take part in government

Democrats controlling the Congress won't change Biden's narrative who will blame Trump for everything during his 4-year tenure. Let's get real, Biden will most likely be the weakest president since Jimmy Carter. Typical stopgap president to wash away the Trump years just like Carter was there to make people reset after Watergate and Vietnam war fiasco. Biden is like Teddy Bridgewater, a nice guy but with zero true leadership skills. He's a Robin and never a Batman. I wish it was 2024 and Kamala Harris running for the office because it's quite clear to me Biden is just a one-tenure guy based on his age and lukewarm appeal.

Wow, this is utterly bizarre. Trump supporters have turned Washington DC into scenes one is more used to seeing in third world country coups. Completely absurd, the Capitol being stormed by these semi-terrorists is one of the most insane things I've seen in quite a while, at least in a (so-called) developed country.

    • Oh well.  Plenty people say that once you get past the first flush of youthful energy it is actually better long term to have a couple of post Olympic slow years and then start building back gradually after 18 months.  That is how Chris Hoy ran his career.
    • World Relays for sure, this has turned into a great annual event.   Last Curling of the season, at a more reasonable time for us Europeans   First Speedway Grand Prix of the Season from  SGP - FIM Speedway - Calendar   Cycling tours from Romandie  and Turkey the illegally occupied Byzantine Empire.  The  Vuelta Feminina also starting.   And as ever Rugby League north and south.

    • Just finished with PanAm Weightlifting Championship. Looking forward to the first Boulder World Cup this weekend. The Relay Championships will be good, too.  Might catch some of the W 3x3 action, too. Unfortunately the Ft.
