Biden has new rules. Republicans denied access to SARs if Dems don't help. It is possible this could extend to the Reps when they gain power. Sound like a good idea?

Biden really does believe "woke" can do great things that people will remember him for. It is sad.
He continues to lie that he hasn't discussed his son's business. It is sad supporters continue to insist he is a good man.
Biden supporters-Biden is a terrible president and he is bad for our economy! This is completely obvious.

"Tempest...?"

Not at all! There is good reason one side wants to have more info than the other. This is a great place to help one political side understand what the other is doing. Isn't it better to have these records easily available!? A more open government? Or not?

Why would voters want both sides to be incompetent? Just the border is enough reason to kick Biden to the curb. More than 800,000 across the border and we know almost nothing about them! That is unbelievable! I have to feel sorry for anybody that will move an inch to defend that. Drug smugglers are thanking you, never had it so good. Fentanyl is the newest and most deadly drug that is sweeping the nation. Tens of thousands have died and if you are not pulling your hair out mad you are not paying attention. Made in China (puts a smirk on their face), sent to Mexico (Stupid Gringos) a few salt size grains have the potential to kill. Mix the right amount with those thousands of kilos of weak black tar heroin tens of thousands of dealers could not sell and you don't kill your customers and you are rich! 
The highest fatalities are in the hundreds of thousands average Americans that you didn't realize get high on opiates, these people show up for work every day and some have high paying jobs and you would never think they will die from Fentanyl. For years they have been using Oxycontin. Some use the bathroom to crush a pill up and get high at lunchtime. And now they don't know if it will be like it always has been or if it will have a little extra "Fenty" and kill them. I know of several "friends of friends" in my small town that have died. A few more none of us had heard of made the local obits when they recently died. Another person in this small town was recently arrested with 5,000 of these Fentanyl pills. People buy them because they cost $25 instead of $50 and they are readily available (most importantly) . People are unable to know if they have the real pills in their hand. The addicts will keep buying them because how else can they feel great for $25? Some will be so scared when they need a trip to the ER or when they collapse on their floor they will quit but most will not. 
Some say good, let them die. I'll bet the Chinese gov knows where most of this chemical is produced. The right American politician could get China to at least slow this way down. It would make a difference and Biden won't do it.
This is just one area China abuses us. We should stay on top of things to eliminate as many China advantages as we can.
WE SHOULD NEVER BE AT A DISADVANTAGE WITH OIL WITH CHINA. WE COULD BE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. LET'S GET THERE AND STAY THERE.
THEY ALSO HOLD AN ADVANTAGE IN STRATEGIC ORES AND MINERALS. LET'S STOP IT.
LET'S WORK HARD TO MINIMIZE THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE THEY HAVE. WE SHOULD NOT EVER NEED CHINA'S HELP WITH OUR DEBT. AND DAMN  TO ALL HELL POLITICIANS THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS AS A PRIORITY, DAMNIT!!

Yeah, this economy sucks. Thanks a lot Joe Biden.  

It's good that people are buying food. Gotta have it. After a crash and the worse the crash was, the higher and faster things go in the following months. And traditionally there is a lot of traffic this time of year.
People that need to drive are still getting there asses kicked compared too how they were doing when gas was cheaper.

Our largest expenditure needs to be in energy research. I do see it as our biggest problem. But while we are making some progress there it is also critical for us to "drill, drill, and drill" No more going to ME countries and others, hat in hand. Also a huge problem! 

I did not notice. Did we have a decline twice?

Do you think Biden has handled those guys better than Trump?

I think Iran will cause us the most grief.

No president tried to manipulate oil and gas prices more than Trump by pandering to the terrorists.

Dealing with terrorists can be effective. Depends a lot on the president. I have much less confidence in that man of steel, Biden, than most Dems have.
