President Joe Biden’s push for a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill took a step forward on Friday as a U.S. House of Representatives committee unveiled the legislation Democrats hope to pass by late next week.

The 591-page bill, stitched together by the House Budget Committee, would carry out Biden’s proposals to provide additional money for COVID-19 vaccines and other medical equipment.

...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she was aiming for a vote in the Democratic-controller chamber on passing the bill — a top priority of the new Democratic Biden administration — by the end of next [this] week.

Earlier on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a fellow Democrat, said his deeply divided chamber will pass the bill before March 14, when the latest round of federal unemployment benefits expire...

The sooner this chit show collapses of its own weight, the better. Of course, it took the USSR the better part of a century for that to happen. I feel for my kids, but half of them are leftists anyway, so they made their bed.

Boy-oh-boy do I agree with you; a reason why I decided to retire a couple years before "full retirement" age. I am working on availing myself of every single "free" benefit and program I can qualify for, with the full and fervent intention of collapsing the house of leftist cards as quickly as can be done.

And sadly, both of my adult offspring feel that their conservative parents are idiots. They have gone off the deep, leftist end. So I will also be spending all my retirement before I die, so they don't inherit any of it to donate to leftist causes and candidates.

Really good rifles.... I’ve been contemplating buying one for about a year now. After those pics, my mouth is watering again.

Democrats are the party of the poor, and they make sure to make more poor people every chance they get, and keep them poor.

I was at the gun store today, lol. Apparently there isn’t a can of black powder to be had in the whole state. What’s up with that. Meanwhile there was some cryptic comment (critical mental healthcare) from the head of the VA today. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/02/24/v-a-secretary-not-an-immediate-decision-to-make-on-increasing-restrictions-on-vets-seeing-private-doctors/

LOL !!! Just add BP to the list of everything else. Primers, Powder (all types and brands), Tannerite, Brass, Bullets.

I’ve been drooling for years. I used to think Henry’s were overpriced. Until I was at the Pawn Shop the other week. I hadn’t been there in 6 months or so. They are “out” of Firearms by the previous 10 years as the standard. Normally the Handguns are packed like sardines (2” spacing in the Display Cases (6 or 7 cases that are 10’ -12’ long and 4 layers of shelves, 3’ deep) the ones left are displayed with 6”- 10” spacing compared to normal

Long Guns are basically the same thing on in Stock Inventory. And the prices are just about twice “normal” (compared to 6-8 months ago) I looked at the Henry Display and they were All double the MSRP !!!

1.7 trillion dollars and they are lowering the threshold from 75k a year for a single tax filer to 50k to get a check. Where is the rest of this money going then?🙄🤔
