Russia, Parents, Drug Questions Facing Future Olympics; Beijing Issues Remain The IOC has complete control and final say on how the Olympics are run. The COVID restrictions mostly worked. However, they learned important lessons and must do more to celebrate. We assume and hope that the reason for the Ukrainian-war suspension is only temporary and that peace will come soon. The Olympics will be better if they learn from the recent questions and experiences.

Move Afoot to Restore House Aging Committee with Pepper Legacy to Protect Seniors A reactivated House Aging Committee is pivotal. The legislation is authored by David Cicilline (D-RI) and championed by activist Herbert Weiss. It has 41 cosponsors.

Strong supporters include Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Doris Matsui (D-CA)--they lead the Democratic Caucus's sub-group on Aging.

Get It Done! Go for Individual Victories on Child Credit, Drugs, Climate, Home Care, Pre-K, College... Democrats find themselves in an ever-shorter window of time; less than a year before off-year elections with a two-week Easter break and both months of August and October dedicated to district work. This makes passing Build Back Better untenable if not outright impossible with obstructionists like Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to interfere in the Democratic efforts.

GA Trump Prosecutor Plea Deal: No Jail for not Running for Office?

Democrats Need In Person Convention in 2024-And In Milwaukee While it is true that the DNC did a great job putting together a virtual convention amid COVID-19, once the coronavirus is behind us the DNC must return to in-person conventions. Not only are they better for TV, but in the past conventions have been a major vehicle for mobilizing voters not only in the state the convention is in, but nationwide. .

Cut Aid to Saudi Arabia Until it Admits and Ends its Atrocities It is unconscionable that our nation has cozied up to Saudi royalty with blood on their hands and that the previous administration defended them even after the murder of Khashoggi. It's time to cut our Saudi funding substantially until that nation acknowledges and acts on the truth. That's what the Biden report should state.

As COVID Made Getting a Degree Harder, Universities Failed to Enroll Minorities; Major Media Fails to Cover Since April, print-news outlets and TV cable networks have covered topics ranging from the Dereck Chauvin trial to President Joe Biden's and the Republican infrastructure plans, among other subjects.

Inappropriate Music Culture Presaged Matt Gaetz Allegations "Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean." The opening line to the Beatles' song "I Saw Her Standing There" is now infamous. Such songs created the climate for Matt Gaetz and others. A twenty-or thirty-something making sexual remarks about an underage girl was a norm for decades that is no longer acceptable.

Nelson's NASA Challenge: China, with its Moon & Mars Rovers, Space Station, & Russia Alliance With China's recent success in landing a rover on both the moon and Mars, launching a space station with a shuttle and making an alliance with Russia on space technology, a new space race has begun, this time between China and the United States.

As Biden pulls out of Afghanistan, what's his plan for Pakistan? It harbors terrorists, too There should be no more free lunch for Pakistan. Funding should be contingent on an end to safe harbor for terrorists and an end to a worldwide drug distribution to fund those terrorists. While Pakistan claims to be a friend to the United States, it is an ally in name only.

COVID focus threatens Olympic performance-drug enforcement With $1.4 billion in advertising, virtually all athletes vaccinated, and COVID on the wane, the Olympics could spend significantly more both on rigorous pre-Games out-of-competition drug testing and testing at the Games themselves to preserve the equality and honor of the Games and their records. Let's assure that the world's media are covering a legacy that endures.
