    This morning's inbox delivered AP newsletter has their "Biden Tracker" segment attached. The team are monitoring Bidens first 100 days action Vs his election promises.
    He is doing very well on some fronts such as climate but not so well on others such as immigration.

    Day 97: Tracking Biden's 100-day promises
    AP journalists track actions President Joe Biden said he would take in his first 100 days.


    24 promises kept of 61 promises
    CLIMATE
    4 / 7 promises kept
    ECONOMY/TAXES
    4 / 5
    GOVERNMENT
    3 / 4

    I would advise clicking the link as my copy paste doesn't do it justice or the progress made. It also contains much information and inside details of what was promised, the action so far and the further announced details if any.

    Jaysus he's doing very well if he's already knocked out a third of his election promises in the first 100 days.

    Not at all perfection itself - still waiting on that promised loan forgiveness - but a good running start.

    Many of those that are not complete are under progress though so better again.
    That's why I stressed about actually going in through the link to get the full picture.

    An Alaska state lawmaker threw a tantrum over mask compliance at an Alaska Airlines check-in. It went viral.

    Subsequently the lawmaker was banned from further travel with the airline. Incidentally, they’re the only airline serving her region, which now disadvantages her with a 20-hour car and ferry commute- because of the consequences of her own actions.

    Before you blame this on Joe Biden and the January executive order enforcing mask compliance in airports and on airlines, it’s important to note that earlier this spring the lawmaker was sanctioned at the state house for “abdication of duty” among other things for continue to spread Covid misinformation and refusing to wear a mask at the state house, so her freedom of movement there was already limited.

    https://gizmodo.com/alaska-state-senator-now-has-20-hour-commute-after-refu-1846766838

    The lawmaker claims that by acknowledging the viral incident involving a public official that it ‘violated the constitution’ by using its first amendment rights to acknowledge publicly that the incident happened and that they would be banning her for her behavior in the altercation. :rolleyes: she said acknowledging that she was there and she was banned was a violation of her privacy or some such bs

    There was also a comparison around the number of "falsehoods and misstatements" in the first 100 days compared to Trump.

    WaPo listed Biden with 67 things that were viewed as either false or misstatements in his first 100 days.

    In his 1st 100 days , Trump had 511.

    New: The reporter who wrote the false New York Post story about the Harris book tweets that she has resigned from the paper after having been “ordered to write” the inaccurate article.


    Along with the new fake burgergate, they are getting fairly desperate.

    Yes, I was just about to post about this as well.

    https://www.mediaite.com/uncategorized/just-in-ny-post-reporter-who-wrote-false-story-on-kamala-harris-books-resigns-says-she-was-ordered-to-write-it/

    On the one hand, you wouldn't doubt the NYP has told reporters to write tabloid trash. On the other, the author still wrote it and demonstrated a certain comfortability with presenting false and misleading information. And now both of these untrustworthy entities are in a she said, they said position.

    200 grams of red meat 3 times a week is probably around the recommended amount as part of a healthy and varied diet.

    If one was having a BBQ every day one wouldn't be long for this world I would imagine.

    Meat sweats would be the least of the worries

    I wouldn't agree with Biden meat plan either if that was the case.
    Posted by Fox and retreated by Trump jr I would safely say it is exaggerated or a lie.
    How much does 200 grams three times per week add up to over a year?

    My 600 grams per week adds up to very roughly 1000 ounces per year. Slightly higher than Bidens 4 ounce limit.
    Edit it's 4 lbs not ounces so 62.5 lbs

    Of course it's a figment of fox. Americans are surely stockpiling meat as we speak

    More laudable progress by the Biden DOJ today: Ahmaud Arbery's muderers have been charged with federal hatecrimes.

    https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/federal-hate-crimes-and-attempted-kidnapping-charges-filed-against-men-accused-of-murdering-ahmaud-arbery/?fbclid=IwAR2HiV9uxKm0nCNoHnU1p7nlSPjZpnawe3FgfFgyhJUL5JAMZ4ODH493Pqg
    The three men charged at the state level with allegedly murdering Ahmaud Arbery, 25, had their legal exposure compound on Wednesday, with federal prosecutors indicting them with hate crimes, attempt kidnapping and other offenses.

    Father and son defendants Gregory McMichael and Travis McMichael, along with their accused accomplice William “Roddie” Bryan, Jr., were first arrested last May in Georgia, one of four states without a hate crime law.

    The federal government stepped in to fill in that gap on Wednesday afternoon.

    The indictment accuses the three men of interfering with Arbery’s rights “because of Arbery’s race and color.”

    On Feb. 23, 2020, Arbery was running on a public street in the Satilla Shores neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia, when the McMichaels armed themselves with firearms, got into a truck, and chased him, prosecutors say.

    In the attempted kidnapping charge, prosecutors say: “Specifically, the three defendants chased Arbery through the neighborhood, using their trucks-and in the case of the McMichaels, firearms-in an attempt to restrain Arbery, restrict his free movement, corral and detain him against his will, and prevent his escape.”

    The federal indictment has five counts. No trial date has been set in the state case.

    Arbery’s mother Wanda Cooper sued the three men, Glynn County, police and others exactly one year after he was shot and killed in a federal complaint narrating her son’s death.

    “An avid runner, Ahmaud frequently jogged around his neighborhood and surroundings areas in Brunswick, Georgia, including Satilla Shores,” Cooper’s attorneys wrote in their complaint, before describing what made that day different. “That day three armed white men, Defendants Gregory McMichael, Travis McMicheael, and William Bryan — entrusted by local law enforcement to respond to recent trespasses in the area, and armed with a Police-Department-issued revolver and a 12-gauge shotgun — hunted Ahmaud down in their trucks. Based on a ‘gut feeling’ that Ahmaud was responsible for prior thefts in the neighborhood, these Defendants shot Ahmaud three times at close range with their shotgun and killed him. As Ahmaud lay bleeding out on the pavement, Defendant Travis McMichael stood above him and said, ‘****ing N*****.’”

    The original lawsuit uses the N-word without redaction.

    An attorney for Cooper did not immediately respond to an email about the federal charges.

    Neither did attorneys for the McMichaels.

    This is a developing story.

    'no racism in America' etc. etc.

    Are they also charged with regular counts of murder and manslaughter.
    The hate crimes could be very hard to prove. Just standing over somebody using the N word isn't enough. That can easily get thrown out before it gets to a jury if it is contested.
    There's three defendants, only one used that term from what I've read in the article you linked. If they are tried together then the other two's defense can argue that including that is prejudicial to their clients.

    Biden has already done more for the US and the World than the previous incumbent did in his four years. In fact, if he sat on his hands for four years, he'd be a better president. This kind of shallow nitpicking is pathetic. Vague insinuations and silly straw man arguments. No wonder the thread has gone quiet and lacks any kind of meaningful debate. Them there Trumpists, they got nothing to offer.
