More Stimulus Payments? Biden Has Stimulus Plans to Stop the Bleeding
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Payments, * Biden’s future strategy can be broadly broken down into two plans. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Another interesting opportunity for Biden would be a minimum wage increase, which he supported as a candidate. The difficulty is that not all Democrats support this; notably, Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have opposed similar proposals before. To win Congress over, Biden must first win them over. President Joe Biden’s stimulus packages have not yet passed Congress – and, in their current forms, they are expected to m...

The global woke loathing for Israel is taking an even darker turn. Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan. Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs. It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally. It did not trend online. There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-b...

Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
The United States is currently in a state of emergency…again. This time, it is due to an alleged massive cyberattack leveled against the Colonial Pipeline. The result is the shutdown of virtually the entire Pipeline. Though the event happened days ago, it was not until yesterday that panic began to set in. In a flurry of panic buying, the Southeast United States stands on the precipice of running out of gas. Maybe having a bicycle as prepper transportation isn’t such a crazy idea after all.
