That’s the part I found as well...’from time to time’.
So he’s being Constitutional, just not following the general tradition.
Sometimes I can’t imagine Biden doing worse even without one! LOL
Y’all, don’t forget about the CPAC starting tonight; already livestreaming on RSBN.

Thanks for already posting the link! Busy at work (still) and I didn’t take time to skim to see if already posted.
It is just tradition that the report was given annually.
The advent of modern communication made it the media event it has become today.
I don’t watch them anymore.
The less I see of RINOs and scowling Democrats the better.
OMG, is just a simple majority needed in the Senate? Bipartisan, huh?
This is a short video (8 minutes total) from the ‘man about town’ in DC from today.
Said he got a bunch of messages from people saying ‘something is going on at the WH, the livefeed is down, go see what’s happening!’.
At the beginning, the video shows the construction trailers have been removed from Lafayette Park in front of the WH, and they were cleaning up the leaves in the park. It was creating a lot of dust in the air!
About 2 minutes in, he’s left the WH and shows the statue of Admiral Farragut (’damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!’), the Mayflower Hotel (remember Eliot Spitzer?), St. Matthews Catholic Cathedral, some other buildings and a park. At about 4:00 he goes along Embassy Row, showing the buildings very quickly. Stop by VP’s house at 6:52, then continues with a few more embassies at 7:04 and back to his residence.

The final vote was 224-206. Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the bill. Reps. John Katko, Tom Reed, and Brian Fitzpatrick voted with Democrats on this vote, and did so when the legislation passed in the House in 2019 as well. When the bill passed the House floor in 2019, eight Republicans joined Democrats to vote for the legislation.
The House first passed the Equality Act in 2019, but now its passage comes under Democratic control with President Joe Biden in the White House and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announcing Thursday he already intends to bring this legislation to the floor.
But critics of the legislation argue it raises serious concerns for religious communities as well as women’s sports. Republicans point to a provision in the legislation saying an individual could not be denied access to a restroom, locker room or dressing room based on their gender identity.
Opponents say that would force women and girls to share private spaces with men. Critics also say the bill could facilitate men participating in women’s sports if they identify as female.
Transgender athletes in recent years have fought against legislation aimed at limiting their participation due to their gender identity. Many argue such policies violate Title IX, the federal anti-discrimination law in education credited with leveling the playing field for women in sports.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer addressed some of the “despicable comments made by a few Republicans about trans people,” without naming them on Thursday.
“Their attacks on trans people in the transgender community are just mean. Mean,” the Democrat from New York said at a news conference ahead of the Houses’ passage of the Equality Act. “And show a complete lack of understanding, complete lack of empathy. They don’t represent our views and they don’t represent the views of a majority of Americans. Their despicable comments just make my blood boil with anger. If I didn’t have a mask you could see my teeth gritting.”

As well as their grandstanding and dressing in white or purple (whatever the ladies are promoting that go-round)!
Meant to ping you to #766 instead of pinging myself; it’s a little video of DC tour. Not worked on the 1 1/2 hour one yet.
I hope and pray that CPACC spends a GREAT DEAL of time on cleaning up the election process, AND the enormous level of cheting goind on, because if this isnt done, it matters not what ANYONE in the GOP does regarding future elections!!
I just emailed Cruz and Cornyn. May call tomorrow.
My doctors office called me a couple weeks ago to offer me vaccine. I politely declined.
Thanks!

BUTT OF THE JOKE China used anal Covid swabs on US diplomats ‘in error’ sparking State Department fury
CHINA ordered US diplomats to undergo ANAL swab tests for Covid sparking fury with the State Department.
Beijing has denied the claims but Washington has blasted the tests as “undignified” .
Its is alleged the diplomats were forced to undergo the swabs due to an administrative error, Vice reports.
A spokesperson said: “The State Department never agreed to this kind of testing and protested directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when we learned that some staff were subject to it.”
“We have instructed staff to decline this test if it is asked of them, as was done in the past,” they said.
Beijing promised Washington the anal swab was given in error as diplomatic personnel were exempt from the test, which is mandatory for arrivals in some parts of China.

One time my Mom was at a full service gas station getting her gas pumped. The attendant went inside the building and didn’t come out again. Mom backed up to see if she could see him, because she wanted to pay her bill.
Unfortunately the attendant had left the hose in the tank, so when she backed up the car she pulled the hose out of the machine. Gasoline was going everywhere.
When the police arrived, a ticket was issued to the owner because he had left the car unattended.
Mom decided not to tell Dad, but he heard the whole story on the local radio station before she got home.
