[GenesiusTimes] AUSTIN—Amid the current rampant pandemic, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued an urgent "stay at home" order to all of California. Not the Bee...honest
Genesius Times is another satire site — not that Texas would not be perfectly justified to require a citizenship course for all new arrivals. Moved to Page 4: Opinion.
[ZeroHedge] California Is Now The Top US Net Importer Of Electricity
California's imports were the largest in the United States last year when 25 percent of California's total electricity supply was imported, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Monday.
[NYP] China’s economy has bounced back so quickly after the coronavirus that it is expected to displace the US as the world’s biggest economy by 2028, according to a new report.
In its annual study of 193 countries, the Center for Economics and Business Research said that China had quickly recovered from the effects of COVID-19 and would grow by two percent in 2020 — the only major world power to expand.
The US is expected to contract by 4.4 percent this year — the country’s biggest fall since the Second World War, according to the London-based group.
"The big news in this forecast is the speed of growth of the Chinese economy," said Douglas McWilliams, deputy chairman of the Center for Economics and Business Research. "We expect it to become an upper-income economy during the current five-year plan period (2020-25). And we expect it to overtake the US a full five years earlier than we did a year ago."

Seems to me there is a qualitative difference between a billion people growing rice and spreading night soil, and 0.3 billion making cars, medical tech and practicing industrial-scale agriculture.
Is there any area where China produces a best-of-breed product? Made In Japan used to mean cheap plastic junk, but they evolved into making brand names known world-wide for quality. This path is not available to the Chinese due to cultural differences - Japan's constant improvement vs China's screw the other guy attitude

Throughout history, the story of the man who fell because, despite already living beyound the dreams of avarice he still wanted the rest, has had a name. Hubris. Tragedy.

Sorry. I don't believe in Jilly Annie, Powell, etc. Trump made the same bad choices he made with many of his inner circle since day one.

Sure, Rudy, sure. And, another 'bombshell' from the hyperbole-filled Gateway Pundit, huh? Perhaps believing in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny has more validity, certainly more than a Barr/Durham "investigation".

And Trump's hiring choices. Oh, how ironic. From the man who made a name on "The Apprentice" by firing and hiring people. Or, maybe that's how Trump gets his kicks.

Well. He did get elected President. Without Dominion's help (far as we know...) But I would not hire nor work for Omarosa, Jared, Ivanya, Bannon, Tillson, etc. etc...

And if Jared can get a TS/SCI security clearance, I suppose most anybody can.
[PJ] The Western Journal has published a legal memo written by William J. Olson & Patrick M. McSweeney that, they say, "outlines a possible legal strategy for the Trump campaign to follow in the coming weeks." The legal memo was reportedly sent to President Trump prior to it being published on The Western Journal.
The authors of the memo contend that by refusing to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court" abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real and substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in that Court," resulting in intense criticism that they had evaded "the most important inter-state constitutional case brought to it in many decades, if not ever."
"However," the authors say, "even in its Order dismissing the case, the Supreme Court identified how another challenge could be brought successfully — by a different plaintiff."

Since there is nothing for us to do but watch and prepare, I look forward with interest to see if Chief Justice Roberts will choose to advance the hearing to before January 20th, as is his responsibility.
Which Stupreme Court justice will "evolve" the quickest this year?

When the SCOTUS decided to hear the case AFTER Biden is sworn into office ... what does that tell you?
it tells me that the system is hopelessly broken and needs to be fixed by the next most powerful entity we have here in the USA, actually, THE most powerful entity, the US Military.
[IsraelTimes] Israel has lobbied on behalf of countries willing to establish ties, and others hoping for the same kind of muscle on the Hill are likely taking notice.
Less than 24 hours passed between Senate Democrats failing to block US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s administration from selling F-35 fighter jets and other advanced arms to the United Arab Emirates and the announcement that Morocco had agreed to re-establish official diplomatic relations with Israel.

[BenarNews] Perhaps the only positive thing about the COVID-19 pandemic is that it led to a decline in politically motivated violence in South and Southeast Asia in 2020.
There were hardly any major terrorist attacks and most of the primary secessionist insurgencies were less violent mostly peaceful than in years past. The notable exception was the Arakan Army in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
