I tried to access your link. But I’m not gonna sign up for the detestable NY Times in order to see that material.

No vaccine passports means no vaccine passports. It doesn’t mean no vaccine passports except for the cruise industry. Why should the cruise industry be allowed to require proof of vaccines if no other business in Florida is allowed to?
@Argyll Any chance you’d like to discuss the text of the new Texas law you just posted an article about?
Sure thing, Biden gets most responsible folks wondering about gasoline (prices or availability).
Our POTUS unsustainably trying to maintain the country’s other economic “situations”.
Hopefully Republican politicians can help save our country.

Pipe dream: Hopefully politicians from both political parties realize that their solutions more often than not make things worse and they stop acting like they must do SOMETHING to save our country.

Such a mess!
Inflation creeping up fast (or already happening).
They’re international travelers…
The cruise ships should just announce expansions of a blue state port and plans to move there, where there’s not an overly restrictive nanny Maga governor trying to micromanage private businesses.
Good link. Thanks. That legislation makes a LOT of sense, but it will really cut down on opportunity to cheat. So no wonder it is driving the Democrats absolutely bat-crap crazy.

- Not all cruises dock in international ports
- Nothing forces you to leave the cruise ship when docked in an international port
- If the country that the ship docks in wants to require an vaccine passport, that’s their prerogative
That argument isn’t going to “fly” with airlines flying in and out of Florida either.
Try again.
Let’s all be honest here. You like it when gov’t tries to micromanage businesses in ways you approve and I like when gov’t tries to micromanage businesses in ways I approve. But, I would trade my preferred micromanagments for yours. For instance, I’d be happy to allow businesses to require vaccine passports if businesses are also allowed to discriminate on the basis of gender identity and sexuality. You down for that trade? Who is really more interested in freedom here?

"That assertion reflects near-universal consensus among national security experts, including those who worked for the Trump administration."
" Some of the Trump administration’s own top advisers came to the same conclusions. Last fall, the FBI warned about extremists planning violent actions to coincide with November’s presidential election. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security tried to get Trump to pay attention to white nationalist groups, some of which expressed open affinity for him and his political movement.
Trump infamously told one such group, the Proud Boys, to “stand back and stand by” during a presidential debate when a moderator confronted him on the topic. But instead of taking meaningful steps to address the white supremacist threat, Trump urged officials in his administration to focus on antifa, a loosely organized network of leftist radicals that is not widely considered a threat to national security.
Republicans continue to insist that antifa and Black Lives Matter are as great a threat to national security as white supremacy, though research has shown that most of last summer’s Black Lives Matter-inspired protests were peaceful. While some violence and looting did occur, intense media coverage — in particular by conservative outlets like Fox News — may have provided a distorted image of those protests.
Yeah, all those evil Trump supporters. Someone goes looking for white supremacists and only manages to find a handful.

Makes a good whipping boy for the national surveillance state though, maybe even some purges of the military who (shock) don’t support many aspects of Biden’s questionable policies and election. In fact, here are hundreds of senior retired military officials who still care about the country, no doubt a bunch of radical white supremacists.

Open Letter from Retired Generals and Admirals
Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.
During the 2020 election an “Open Letter from Senior Military Leaders” was signed by 317 retired Generals and Admirals and, it said the 2020 election could be the most important election since our country was founded. “With the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at stake.” Unfortunately, that statement’s truth was quickly revealed, beginning with the election process itself.

Seems quite silly to testify in front of congress that white supremacy is the biggest threat to our democracy while at that moment, people in a half dozen states are wondering if they’ll be able to fill up their tanks because of a foreign cyber attack on a single gas pipeline. If the proof that white supremacy is a giant threat is an event that ultimately just delayed the normal business of congress by a few hours, you’ve got a pretty weak case.

"Newly released footage of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol shows the seething mob of pro-Donald Trump insurrectionists descend on a police officer, then beat him with a flagpole and attack him with a stun gun.
" About 140 officers, some from the U.S. Capitol Police and others from the Metropolitan Police Department, were injured by the mob, which was egged on by Trump."
Still teaching critical thinking in NY schools? I’m impressed.

120 retired flag officers challenge Biden in open letter
The signers are all retired admirals or generals. Here is the opening paragraph of the letter:
Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other
time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs.
supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.
Hot stuff. Read the rest of the letter here.
Thing is, when letters of this sort were written by those opposing Trump and our Constitution, the media publicized them to the hilt. Now: crickets.
