He seems to be hitting a grand slam with his "put Americans last " campaign
California ended their stay at home order too and left it up to the counties. Yay Biden.
So all of this is happening and the general public is doing what about it? I honestly thought Americans would stand up more. Democrats are the winners here because when they were not in power they were causing a scene and when they are in power Republicans don't do shit.
Why not protest? Why not harass the fuck out of your senator or representative? Why don't Republicans make a scene in a positive way that doesn't look like the capitol building fiasco and looks more like a constructive protest. I don't know because I've never been politically motivated but from an outsider looking in I see a lot of frustration and bitching but absolutely nothing being done about it??? Don't get me wrong I am politically useless like tits on a bull but I really did have this thought that Americans would not put up with this shit and yet all you guys do is bitch on the internet and do absolutely nothing about it?

I think Newscume did that because they have a recall and is trying to make it all rosey now .
In my opinion, a time will come when I will be getting off the porch. I see that time getting closer. I know I am already on more than one govt list somewhere, so saying this in a public forum isnt really so crazy. When does that happen you ask? Getting off the porch will result in loss of career, freedom and possibly life. When I am in the position where things are pushed by the govt to crush my livelihood, family, community and I need to walk away from what matters most to me in order to protect it, porch sitting is done. It is not my choice, it is not my desire, it may be necessary, but I will continue to hope and work toward avoiding it. Nobody truly wins if we need to leave the porch. Regrettably, I have come to peaceful terms with the possibility.

Thank you for contacting me regarding the certification of the Electoral College vote on January 6, 2021. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter.
On January 6, 2021, the quadrennial joint session of Congress to count the Electoral College votes of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. was disrupted when demonstrators stormed the Capitol, fought with law enforcement, and attempted to disrupt our democracy. This stunning display of disrespect for the law is un-American, and those that attacked the Capitol should face the full extent of the law. I applaud the U.S. Capitol Police officers who stood bravely in harm's way, and am deeply grateful to all of the law enforcement professionals and first responders who deployed to help restore order. This assault did not succeed in deterring or intimidating Congress, and we ultimately reconvened and certified the vote of the Electoral College. The violence we saw only underscores the importance of our duty as lawmakers to support and defend the Constitution. Americans deserve better than the disturbing and avoidable episode that played out at our nation's Capitol. It is incumbent upon us to demand better from each other.
The Constitution affords all Americans the right to vote, and integrity of our elections is fundamental to preserving this right. Many Americans are concerned about the integrity of the election, and I share the belief that allegations of irregularities and fraud need to be investigated to their fullest extent. At a time when trust in our institutions is near an all-time-low, we must remain vigilant and continue to work together to preserve the right to vote and improve our election procedures. To that end, I believe that establishing an independent, bipartisan commission - much like was done following the 2000 and 2004 elections - to examine election irregularities and establish best practices is an important response.
President Trump's legal team filed numerous lawsuits across multiple states challenging the election outcome. I fully supported President Trump's right to challenge those results and pursue legal remedies provided under the Constitution, as well as federal and state law. However, none of the legal arguments or evidence presented by the President's legal team convinced the more than 50 state and federal courts that sat in judgment. Every single lawsuit was ultimately rejected, some on the merits, some on procedural grounds, but both equally dispositive. These lawsuits were heard by well-respected jurists - many of whom were nominated by President Trump himself.
As a former judge, I approached the certification of the Electoral College vote with the same impartial, evidence-based decision-making as I did my job on the bench. But as I said before January 6th, I do not view my job under the Constitution and laws of the United States as a court of last resort. I followed the election recounts and court cases brought by the President's legal team very closely, and determined the evidence and arguments presented did not warrant overturning the election results.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate. Thank you for your comments on this important issue.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN

2 years ago today, President Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline with the stroke of a pen.
Thousands of jobs lost and countless lives ruined – all to appease the climate radicals in his party.
Tragic.
'I literally cried': Former Keystone XL workers still reeling two years after Biden axed pipeline
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 20, 2023
But, it’s not just the jobs. This would have had a major impact on the amount of crude oil that could have been brought into the United States, which could have helped offset the energy crisis we saw in 2022 – and appears to be spiking again.The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.
The report, which the Department of Energy (DOE) completed in late December without any public announcement, says the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4-9.6 billion, citing various studies. A previous report from the federal government published in 2014 determined 3,900 direct jobs and 21,050 total jobs would be created during construction which was expected to take two years.
The American energy crisis has had a major impact on the financial security of American citizens who were already dealing with higher prices across the board. And while the most recent Consumer Price Index report shows inflation cooling, the bulk of that came from energy prices dropping. While that might seem like a good thing, prices are still far higher than they were when Biden took office, and, what’s worse, they seem to be on the rise again.Keystone XL had been slated to be completed early this year and transport an additional 830,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada to the U.S. through an existing pipeline network, according to its operator, TC Energy.
[…]
“The Department of Energy finally admitted to the worst-kept secret about the Keystone Pipeline: President Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline sacrificed thousands of American jobs,” [Sen. Jim] Risch said Thursday.
“To make matters worse, his decision moved the U.S. further away from energy independence and lower gas prices at a time when inflation and gas prices are drastically impacting Americans’ pocketbooks,” he added.
“The president must turn to American-made energy and jobs rather than dictators and despots to fix the energy crisis he created on his first day in office.”
We can see the results of such policies in Europe, where several countries are not only struggling to make their commitment to cutting fossil fuels work, they are outright reversing them (and without increasing their emissions).Two years into sowing its Green New Deal policies, the administration is reaping a bitter harvest. Due to Biden’s folly, oil, natural gas and electricity prices have more than doubled in just a single year. Meanwhile, more than 28 percent of Americans abstained from purchasing food or medicine to pay an energy bill in 2021. And now, the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act includes wind and solar spending that will cost Americans $369 billion.
If the president and his Democratic allies in Congress refuse to heed lessons from the past, they have a rare opportunity to view an even more desperate future of what will certainly come to pass by staying on the same irresponsible course.
