Pelosi Calls $600 Stimulus ‘Significant’ — Said $1,000 Employee Bonuses Following President Trump Tax Cuts Were ‘Crumbs’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) is receiving widespread criticism for her out of touch remarks on Monday that described the $ 900 billion Congressional stimulus bills ’ paltry $ 600 stimulus checks as a “ significant ” amount for working families .
Pelosi had previously called employee bonuses of over $ 1,000 following Trump administration tax cuts as “ crumbs.
” Speaking about the stimulus deal on Monday , Pelosi said , “ We also have in the legislation , uh , direct payments , which were not in the Republican bill to America ’ s working families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been bigger , but they are , uh , significant.
” While Pelosi is correct that Republicans such as Sen. Ron Johnson ( R-WI ) did oppose stimulus payments in favor of corporate handouts to Big Business , other Republicans including Sen. Josh Hawley ( R-MO ) and President Donald Trump have fought for stimulus payments of $ 1,200 and above that greatly exceed the Democrat Party ’ s “ significant ” proposal .
Meanwhile , footage of Pelosi from 2018 has resurfaced in which she described massive bonuses given to private @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s sweeping tax reforms as “ crumbs.
” Many of the bonuses in question were well above $ 1,000 .

The stimulus checks approved by Congress this week are not in any way “significant” compared to the $1,200 checks authorized by President Trump earlier this year.
The Congressional “relief bill”predominantly consists of corporate bailouts for multinational monopolies that have already seens record profit during government-enforced COVID lockdowns.
Even if every American received the stimulus – many won’t qualify – the total expenditure would amount to a miniscule $196 billion of the bloated $900 billion bill.

Hate-Filled Leftist Alec Baldwin Calls for Violence Against POTUS: Trump ‘Deserves’ to Be Assaulted ‘Like Rodney King’ with a ‘Knee on His Neck’

Alec Baldwin better get back to anger management sessions because his latest tweets make him look like he has completely lost it .
The Glengarry Glen Ross actor has such hatred for President Trump that he advocated violence against the commander-in-chief on December 20 , suggesting that people remove him from the White House and then suffocate him with a “ knee on his neck.
” You know , to bring the left ’ s efforts at revolution since the death of George Floyd full circle .
Clearly , Trump ’ s efforts to fight what he has claimed was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rage among the left who presumed that Biden being dragged across the finish line by whatever means necessary meant Trump would go bye bye .
Though , surprise surprise , Trump is causing as much disruption as possible and the normally apoplectic Baldwin has perhaps surpassed his own standard for violent rhetoric .
This past Sunday , Baldwin tweeted about a variety of forceful means by which to remove Trump from office , asking the question , “ Who arrests Trump if he refuses to concede ?
Who drags him out ?
Pepper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his neck , cutting off his oxygen ?
” Yeah it sounds like a contingency plan in case Trump actually decides to throw a wrench in the system and become the dictator the left says he is .
Though we wonder if Baldwin , who has been arrested for assaulting someone over a parking spot in the past , is secretly spoiling for that fight .
He ’ s doing a good bit of creative.thinking about how to cause the president pain , that ’ s for sure .
That “ knee on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s some poetic justice right there in honor of the late George Floyd .
Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com Baldwin added to the vile thought , envisioning more ways in which he and his leftist friends could add insult to injury to their conservative opponent : “ Does he wheeze ‘ I can ’ t breathe.
’ Just whale away on him like a piñata ?
Rodney King style ?
” he asked .
Ok. Should the president of the United States of American be taken into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hmmm ?
Well , we are just considering all our options here , OK ?
Though does Baldwin believe his fellow man deserves this treatment ?
Well his final question seemed to hint that he does .
The frequent SNL guest star asked , “ The thug who has destroyed the country .
What does he deserve ?
” Well apparently not the peaceful transfer of power we ’ ve been doing for nearly three hundred years , according to the actor .

thelibertydaily--2020-12-22--Toyota CEO Agrees With Elon Musk: We Don’t Have Enough Electricity to Electrify All the Cars

Let ’ s stipulate a couple of facts right at the top : Toyota makes a lot of cars , so many that it ’ s the world ’ s largest or second-largest auto manufacturer every year .
Toyota makes a lot of good , reliable cars .
The Corolla , for instance , may not be flashy but the little things will go for a quarter-million miles or more and they mostly just run without breaking down much .
Change the oil when you ’ re supposed to and you ’ re probably good to go .
Let ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cars keep burning gas or run on electricity , Toyota is poised to make and sell millions of electric vehicles .
It already has the game-changing solid-state battery coming on line .
It launched the Prius way back in 1997 .
Toyota has not only not resisted the adaptation of EVs , it has led the way .
Fundamentally , Toyota does not care if cars are powered by gas or nuclear fusion engines as long as it maintains its position and sells millions of them .
So Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year-end press conference deserve notice and no little amount of respect .
He knows more about cars and their economic ecosystem than just about anyone else on the planet .
CarBuzz has mischaracterized Toyoda ’ s comments .
It ’ s not “ disdain for EVs ” he ’ s expressing .
It ’ s disdain for the failure to count the cost of what politicians are proposing .
More EVs will demand more electricity .
Toyoda is getting at two things .
One , EVs are not powered by magical unicorn emissions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we use to generate electricity .
In Japan , the United States , and everywhere else , that ’ s fossil fuels to the tune of a huge majority of our electric power generation ( 61 % in the U.S. , with wind and solar making up about 17 % , while Japan relies more heavily on nuclear power than most due to its lack of indigenous oil ) .
Imagine taking every car in Japan or the United States and powering it not by gasoline or diesel , but by electricity .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the amount of electric power we currently generate .
There is no getting around this fact .
We would be displacing gasoline or diesel for another power source .
We ’ re still pulling something out of the ground and burning it in some way .
The main question is where is it being burned ?
How will we generate power to meet the new level of demand ?
Some will claim we can do it by ramping up renewables — wind and solar — but that ’ s not realistic .
Drive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ San Angelo out to Midland-Odessa and you ’ ll see a curious sight : hundreds and hundreds of towering windmills .
Those are just the ones you can see from the road .
There are more of them farther from the beaten paths .
That part of Texas generates more wind power than the entire state of California .
Wind farms cover mile after mile after mile .
But all those hundreds of windmills only generate about 15 % of Texas ’ electricity .
Wind is not economically competitive yet , so it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Neither wind nor solar are cheap or reliable enough to displace oil and especially natural gas in our grid .
The wind doesn ’ t always blow and the sun doesn ’ t always shine .
Oil and natural gas always burn .
Texas is just one state , but it happens to be a great one to study on this issue because it has its own power grid ( no other state does ) and it produces more energy than any other state within its own borders .
You ’ d find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miles with those windmills across West Texas just to significantly close the gap on oil and natural gas .
Currently the ratio is about 4 to 1 in favor of oil and natural gas over wind and solar , and that ’ s just for electric power .
The ratio for vehicles is much more lopsided at this point .
The second issue Toyoda is getting at is that petroleum isn ’ t just a fuel , it ’ s the foundation of thousands upon thousands of products we rely on every day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ petroleum-based parts throughout their systems and interiors .
There is , as of yet , no reliable or economical replacement for the petroleum used to manufacture those parts .
So if oil and natural gas stop coming out of the ground tomorrow , once the supply has gone through all the refining and other processes , our entire way of life takes a wallop .
If the politicians who are pushing to ban gas cars and force everyone over to EVs with renewables at their present or near-future state of development do understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not letting on .
They ’ ll wreck modern industry .
Toyoda isn ’ t alone in this reality check .
Elon Musk recently sounded a similar note .
Note well that he also has no “ disdain ” for EVs .
He ’ s building his empire on EVs , and his Teslas make EVs flashy and desirable .
Yet he ’ s sounding a similar warning to Toyoda ’ s .
Perhaps two of the world ’ s leading car experts should be listened to before Tokyo , Washington , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead and bans gas cars without considering the ripple effects .
Elon Musk Blasts California , Says He and Tesla Are Headed to Texas

Let’s stipulate a couple of facts right at the top: Toyota makes a lot of cars, so many that it’s the world’s largest or second-largest auto manufacturer every year. Toyota makes a lot of good, reliable cars. The Corolla, for instance, may not be flashy but the little things will go for a quarter-million miles or more and they mostly just run without breaking down much. Change the oil when you’re supposed to and you’re probably good to go.
Let’s stipulate one more fact: Whether cars keep burning gas or run on electricity, Toyota is poised to make and sell millions of electric vehicles. It already has the game-changing solid-state battery coming on line. It launched the Prius way back in 1997. Toyota has not only not resisted the adaptation of EVs, it has led the way. Fundamentally, Toyota does not care if cars are powered by gas or nuclear fusion engines as long as it maintains its position and sells millions of them.
So Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda’s comments at the company’s year-end press conference deserve notice and no little amount of respect. He knows more about cars and their economic ecosystem than just about anyone else on the planet.
The Wall Street Journal was in attendance and noted the CEO’s disdain for EVs boils down to his belief they’ll ruin businesses, require massive investments, and even emit more carbon dioxide than combustion-engined vehicles. “The current business model of the car industry is going to collapse,” he said. “The more EVs we build, the worse carbon dioxide gets… When politicians are out there saying, ‘Let’s get rid of all cars using gasoline,’ do they understand this?”
CarBuzz has mischaracterized Toyoda’s comments. It’s not “disdain for EVs” he’s expressing. It’s disdain for the failure to count the cost of what politicians are proposing. More EVs will demand more electricity.
Toyoda is getting at two things. One, EVs are not powered by magical unicorn emissions, they are powered by the means we use to generate electricity. In Japan, the United States, and everywhere else, that’s fossil fuels to the tune of a huge majority of our electric power generation (61% in the U.S., with wind and solar making up about 17%, while Japan relies more heavily on nuclear power than most due to its lack of indigenous oil). Imagine taking every car in Japan or the United States and powering it not by gasoline or diesel, but by electricity. This will require a dramatic expansion of the amount of electric power we currently generate. There is no getting around this fact. We would be displacing gasoline or diesel for another power source. We’re still pulling something out of the ground and burning it in some way. The main question is where is it being burned?
How will we generate power to meet the new level of demand? Some will claim we can do it by ramping up renewables — wind and solar — but that’s not realistic. Drive out through West Texas between Llano and San Angelo out to Midland-Odessa and you’ll see a curious sight: hundreds and hundreds of towering windmills. Those are just the ones you can see from the road. There are more of them farther from the beaten paths. That part of Texas generates more wind power than the entire state of California. Wind farms cover mile after mile after mile. But all those hundreds of windmills only generate about 15% of Texas’ electricity. Wind is not economically competitive yet, so it’s subsidized by the government. Neither wind nor solar are cheap or reliable enough to displace oil and especially natural gas in our grid. The wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. Oil and natural gas always burn.
Texas is just one state, but it happens to be a great one to study on this issue because it has its own power grid (no other state does) and it produces more energy than any other state within its own borders. You’d find yourself covering thousands and thousands of square miles with those windmills across West Texas just to significantly close the gap on oil and natural gas. Currently the ratio is about 4 to 1 in favor of oil and natural gas over wind and solar, and that’s just for electric power. The ratio for vehicles is much more lopsided at this point.
The second issue Toyoda is getting at is that petroleum isn’t just a fuel, it’s the foundation of thousands upon thousands of products we rely on every day. Cars alone have plastic and other petroleum-based parts throughout their systems and interiors. There is, as of yet, no reliable or economical replacement for the petroleum used to manufacture those parts. So if oil and natural gas stop coming out of the ground tomorrow, once the supply has gone through all the refining and other processes, our entire way of life takes a wallop.
If the politicians who are pushing to ban gas cars and force everyone over to EVs with renewables at their present or near-future state of development do understand any of this, they’re not letting on. They’ll wreck modern industry.
Toyoda isn’t alone in this reality check. Elon Musk recently sounded a similar note. Note well that he also has no “disdain” for EVs. He’s building his empire on EVs, and his Teslas make EVs flashy and desirable. Yet he’s sounding a similar warning to Toyoda’s.
Perhaps two of the world’s leading car experts should be listened to before Tokyo, Washington, or any other capital follows California’s lead and bans gas cars without considering the ripple effects.

The world is arguably experiencing the first biowar in history. This is not to say that any country deliberately manufactured covid or released bioweapons, but as recent reporting from the New York Times shows, the Chinese government tried to exploit it politically, perhaps calculating that a pandemic would hurt more complex economies than simpler ones. A great power competition has crossed over into the biology of the planet.
No ‘Negative’ News: How China Censored the Coronavirus
Thousands of internal directives and reports reveal how Chinese officials stage-managed what appeared online in the early days of the outbreak … In Hangzhou, propaganda workers on round-the-clock shifts wrote up reports describing how they were ensuring people saw nothing that contradicted the soothing message from the Communist Party: that it had the virus firmly under control
The Guardian writes that “China is expected to be the only G20 economy to grow this year,” banking partly on the strategy of calculated simplification.
The Chinese leadership, anticipating slower growth and a more difficult international environment, are pursuing a new strategy known as a “dual circulation economy.” The concept, first proposed by Xi Jinping in May is aimed at reducing the country’s reliance on overseas markets and technology and fostering domestic consumption and advances in technology. “Globalization is facing a reversal, with rising protectionism and unilateralism. The world economy is weakening as international trade and investment, science, technology … security and politics are all undergoing profound change,” Xi said in a speech in Shenzhen last Wednesday. “We are forming a new development pattern with the domestic economic cycle playing a leading role. Our economy is at a critical period of transformation,” he said.
In contrast to the Biden mantra to “build back better,” Beijing appears determined to reduce their dependencies and increase their survivability. The foundations of countries have varying degrees of stability:
MIT physicist César Hidalgo and Harvard economist Ricardo Hausmann introduced a spectral method to measure the complexity of a country’s economy by inferring it from the structure of the network connecting countries to the products that they export.
By this measure, China is ranked 32nd, behind Japan, Taipei, Western Europe and the United States. Beijing’s basic message was simple: China’s society was going to be more robust in the troubled times ahead because of the Party’s command. Meanwhile Western political systems would be caught in a dilemma between the hardship caused by lockdowns and outrage that activity had not been curtailed more completely.
At this point Trump should resign and allow Vice President Mike Pence to serve as President through January 20. Despite Pence’s numerous faults, at least he appears to be engaged in attempting to combat Covid, as evidenced by his effort to bolster public confidence in the new vaccine by getting his shot on live television Friday.
Even the biotechnological advantage of Western countries in vaccine development seems set to become controversial as activists accuse “rich countries” of cornering the supply of pharmaceuticals. The NYT says:
As a growing number of coronavirus vaccines advance through clinical trials, wealthy countries are fueling an extraordinary gap in access around the world, laying claim to more than half the doses that could come on the market by the end of next year. While many poor nations may be able to vaccinate at most 20 percent of their populations in 2021, some of the world’s richest countries have reserved enough doses to immunize their own multiple times over.
The politics of pharmaceuticals has already led to what the press calls “vaccine diplomacy.” Nikkei says:
Rollouts of Western coronavirus vaccines are dominating the headlines, but China is pressing ahead with its own drive to distribute shots worldwide while preparing for mass inoculations at home. Like many vaccines, China’s face lingering questions about efficacy and safety. But with funding for Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative slowing down, some experts see vaccine diplomacy as another chance for China to shore up its international influence, especially in the developing world.
Hopes that the world will return to normal in a few months were dimmed by the possible emergence of mutant viral strains in the UK. “The Coronavirus Is Mutating. What Does That Mean for Us?” asks the NYT.
Just as vaccines begin to offer hope for a path out of the pandemic, officials in Britain this past weekend sounded an urgent alarm about what they called a highly contagious new variant of the coronavirus circulating in England. … Some variants become more common in a population simply by luck, not because the changes somehow supercharge the virus. But as it becomes more difficult for the pathogen to survive — because of vaccinations and growing immunity in human populations — researchers also expect the virus to gain useful mutations enabling it to spread more easily or to escape detection by the immune system.
It means that the West in biostrategic competition with China for some months or years. Even if the covid mutations prove susceptible to existing pharmaceuticals, there may be other challenges caused by the rapid increase in complexity in social and biological networks. China sees the threat and may believe more state control is the way to go. Beijing may even try to control the weather.
For decades, China has been home to one of the world’s most advanced weather-modification programs. Generally, its goals have been modest: more rain in arid places, less field-destroying hail and sunny days for big national events. But that modesty is starting to give way. Earlier this month, China announced plans to expand its rainmaking capabilities to cover nearly 60% of the country by 2025. Details are sketchy, but fears are rising about the potential military uses of these capabilities, and their effects on an already changing climate. For China, and the world, these concerns need to be addressed soon. In 1978, the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification went into force. Although China ratified the treaty in 2005, its interest in controlling the weather and the environment didn’t wane. Meteorological calamities such as hail and flooding account for more than 70% of the country’s annual disaster-related damage. Because of that ongoing toll, the government has staked its legitimacy in part on how well it responds to such incidents. In recent decades, as the country has grown wealthier, Earth-altering projects such as the Three Gorges Dam have become a favored solution.
Ironically, that is functionally comparable to what the Western establishment long intended to accomplish on a larger scale through the Paris climate accords. Climate academics Burns and Craik noted the Paris agreement was climate engineering.
Recent assessments of the international community’s ability to hold the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, while pursuing efforts to limit that increase to 1.5°C, indicate that this goal is unlikely to be achieved without large-scale implementation of climate engineering (CE) technologies. … this Article analyzes the specific provisions of the Paris Agreement with a view to assessing the extent to which the Agreement can provide an institutional framework to effectively govern CE internationally, and how it may shape the development and implementation of CE options.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-22--Peter Navarro Updates Election Report to Show 379,000 ‘Possible Illegal Votes’ for Biden in Michigan

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro updated his report about alleged voting irregularities in the 2020 election to include data about Michigan .
The director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy posted a video on Vimeo on Monday explaining what he found in the Wolverine State using additional data and documents that he argues could flip the election from victory for President-elect Joe Biden to another term for President Trump .
`` I 've concluded that the number of possible illegal votes in the state of Michigan tops 379,000 ballots , more than twice the alleged victory margin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Biden won the state of Michigan and its 16 Electoral College votes by roughly 150,000 ballots .
The Michigan number mentioned in the video was a missing figure in the original , that Navarro released last week and said he developed in his private capacity .
His investigation found at least 100,000 votes in Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin that could be illegal ballots that , if tossed out , would put Trump over Biden 's `` victory '' margin .
Navarro cited Richard Baris , director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said found roughly 9,500 Michigan voters `` confirmed '' to be dead through the Social Security Death Index and about 2,000 voters listed as 100 years old or more who were not listed as `` living centenarians '' in the state .
Pointing to data from Wayne County , the state 's most populous county , Navarro said 174,384 absentee ballots were cast in Detroit with no individual voter registration numbers .
Therefore , he said , they were `` illegally counted . ''
Navarro also claimed there were `` statistical anomalies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seemingly insurmountable lead '' at midnight on Election Day , followed by `` an inexplicable vote surge '' of almost 200,000 ballots for Biden , compared to only about 10,000 for Trump .
The findings clash with statements by state and local officials , as well as experts , who have said the ballot counting was transparent and accurate and attributed some allegations of irregularities to clerical errors and not voter fraud .
The state of Michigan has committed to an audit of the election .
Already a hand audit in Antrim County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ machines , affirmed Trump 's victory in that county and netted him an additional 12 votes .
Navarro 's investigation is just one facet of a larger operation to question and challenge the results of the election as Trump , his legal team , and Republican allies seek to overturn the results over claims of widespread voter fraud and irregularities , which have not had much success in court .
On Monday , GOP lawmakers huddled with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence at the White House about a long-shot strategy to challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conclude his roughly two-minute video , Navarro said it is `` absolutely critical '' for there to be an investigation of the six dimensions of voting irregularities mentioned in the original report , which include : outright voter fraud , ballot mishandling , contestable process fouls , equal protection clause violations , voting machine irregularities , and significant statistical anomalies .
He said some or all of these issues were found in six battleground states and `` may well be the greatest political scandal in U.S. presidential history . ''

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro updated his report about alleged voting irregularities in the 2020 election to include data about Michigan.
The director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy posted a video on Vimeo on Monday explaining what he found in the Wolverine State using additional data and documents that he argues could flip the election from victory for President-elect Joe Biden to another term for President Trump.
"I've concluded that the number of possible illegal votes in the state of Michigan tops 379,000 ballots, more than twice the alleged victory margin of Joe Biden," Navarro said. Biden won the state of Michigan and its 16 Electoral College votes by roughly 150,000 ballots.
The Michigan number mentioned in the video was a missing figure in the original, 36-page report that Navarro released last week and said he developed in his private capacity. His investigation found at least 100,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that could be illegal ballots that, if tossed out, would put Trump over Biden's "victory" margin.
I just uploaded “Michigan Update to The Immaculate Deception” to #Vimeo: https://t.co/4RSlMTOOi3 — Peter Navarro (@RealPNavarro) December 22, 2020
Navarro cited Richard Baris, director of Big Data Poll, who he said found roughly 9,500 Michigan voters "confirmed" to be dead through the Social Security Death Index and about 2,000 voters listed as 100 years old or more who were not listed as "living centenarians" in the state.
Pointing to data from Wayne County, the state's most populous county, Navarro said 174,384 absentee ballots were cast in Detroit with no individual voter registration numbers. Therefore, he said, they were "illegally counted."
Navarro also claimed there were "statistical anomalies," claiming that Trump held a "seemingly insurmountable lead" at midnight on Election Day, followed by "an inexplicable vote surge" of almost 200,000 ballots for Biden, compared to only about 10,000 for Trump.
The findings clash with statements by state and local officials, as well as experts, who have said the ballot counting was transparent and accurate and attributed some allegations of irregularities to clerical errors and not voter fraud.

On Monday, GOP lawmakers huddled with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence at the White House about a long-shot strategy to challenge Biden's win in Congress.
To conclude his roughly two-minute video, Navarro said it is "absolutely critical" for there to be an investigation of the six dimensions of voting irregularities mentioned in the original report, which include: outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities, and significant statistical anomalies.

U.S. Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock’s wife told a police officer in March that her husband is "a great actor" and "phenomenal at putting on a really good show," after Warnock denied her allegations that he deliberately ran over her foot.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-23--US Workers File 803K Jobless Claims Amid Second Round of Liberal Lockdown Lunacy

American workers filed 803,000 applications for jobless benefits last week , an unexpected decrease as the coronavirus kept the labor market under pressure , the feds said Wednesday .
The latest batch of initial jobless claims brought the total reported during the COVID-19 pandemic to about 72.2 million — equivalent to roughly 45 percent of the nation ’ s workforce .

New claims have nevertheless remained above the pre-pandemic record of 695,000 for 10 straight months despite falling sharply from their late March peak of about 6.8 million .

Congress has passed a stimulus bill that would extend such programs and offer a $ 300 weekly boost to unemployment payments — but President Trump called for changes to the bill on Tuesday , calling it a “ disgrace.

American workers filed 803,000 applications for jobless benefits last week, an unexpected decrease as the coronavirus kept the labor market under pressure, the feds said Wednesday.
The latest batch of initial jobless claims brought the total reported during the COVID-19 pandemic to about 72.2 million — equivalent to roughly 45 percent of the nation’s workforce.
Jobless filings dropped from the prior week’s revised total of 892,000 despite a deadly surge in infections sparking a new wave of lockdown measures in some states, forcing businesses to shut their doors or scale back operations. Economists were expecting 880,000 claims for last week, according to Wrightson ICAP.
“We expect claims to climb higher in the coming weeks as service-sector activity continues to slump sharply,” said Bloomberg economist Eliza Winger.
New filings have remained above the pre-pandemic record of 695,000 for 10 straight months despite falling sharply from their late March peak of about 6.8 million.
In all, workers claimed nearly 20.4 million weeks’ worth of state and federal unemployment aid in the week ending Dec. 5, down slightly from 20.6 million the prior week, the US Department of Labor data show.
That includes about 14 million weeks of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits, two key programs created by the CARES Act that are due to expire at the end of this week.
Congress has passed a stimulus bill that would extend the programs and also boost regular unemployment payments by $300 a week — but President Trump called for changes to the bill on Tuesday, putting millions of workers relying on the federal aid in limbo.
“Unemployment benefits have been perhaps the most important economic cushion during the pandemic, and Congress would be wise to build on their success this week and ensure that robust benefits are available to workers until the economy truly recovers,” said Andrew Stettner, an unemployment insurance expert and senior fellow at the Century Foundation think tank.


thelibertydaily--2020-12-23--Democrat Insanity: Porkulus Bill Includes Policy Statement On Reincarnation Of The Dalai Lama

On Tuesday , President Trump demanded Congress rework a massive 5,593-page bill allegedly designed for so-called “ COVID relief.

On Tuesday, President Trump demanded Congress rework a massive 5,593-page bill allegedly designed for so-called “COVID relief.” The measure, which passed both the House and the Senate, includes a great deal of pork and other non-COVID related items, including a section that outlines the reincarnation and succession of the Dalai Lama, Newsweek and others reported.
Reporting the obvious, Newsweek stated:
The massive legislation was released publicly Monday after months of back-and-forth negotiations between Democratic and Republican lawmakers, who announced Sunday that they had reached an agreement to provide further economic relief to Americans amid the surging coronavirus pandemic. The stimulus bill has been included with the appropriations bill that will keep the government funded moving forward. Due to the length of the legislation and the tight timeframe lawmakers are facing, most members of Congress will not likely have time to read the entire bill.
The report added:
Section 342 of the bill outlines a “statement of policy regarding the succession or reincarnation of the Dalai Lama.” Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, currently resides in exile in India after escaping from Tibet in 1959 amid a revolt against Chinese governance. Tibet was occupied by China in 1951 and incorporated as part of the East Asian nation.
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with COVID, nor does it provide any relief whatsoever to Americans whose lives and businesses have been decimated by government mismanagement and in the cases of several Democrat-led cities and states, outright tyranny.
Trump, Breitbart reported, has not said he would veto the measure, but is demanding that Congress rework it and increase the amount of relief from $600 to $2000.
“I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2000, or $4000 for a couple,” he said. He also criticized it for giving $1800 to family members of illegal aliens. “This is far more than the Americans are given,” he added.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1341537886315950080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
He concluded:
“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it. It wasn’t their fault, it was China’s fault, not their fault. I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2000 or $4000 for a couple. I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation. And to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me, and we will get it done. Thank you very much.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in response that she’s open to bringing it up again:
Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it! https://t.co/Th4sztrpLV — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) December 23, 2020
But will she agree to strip the nonsense out of the bill? Somehow, we don’t think so.
In an op-ed critical of the measure, The Hill’s Joe Concha said:
The $900 billion stimulus package COVID-19 “relief” bill is exactly what one would expect from a dysfunctional, tone-deaf Congress: a pork-filled cluster filled with anything and everything that has nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic or relief. And in the swampiest thing ever, the bill, which is combined with a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill, is 5,593 pages long, or 5,583 pages too many, was given to lawmakers six hours before a vote to review what exactly is in it (hint: more pork than a Tyson Foods plant). It harkens back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) once explaining that a bill needed to be passed in order to find out what was in it. In a related story, our government is broken.

Not hard to see that this amount is hardly enough to keep those struggling from staying out of poverty.
He’s right with his analysis. In short, the measure would have to improve 100 percent to suck. It needs to be flat-out rejected and reworked.
