Trump’s speech was rambling, largely uneventful, and very clearly unscripted. Having learned no lessons from previous criticism, the president complained about the “China virus” and its hit to the U.S. economy. He promised some “incredible numbers” will happen for the economy after he leaves office, and urged his supporters to “remember us” if the economy turns around under President-elect Biden. … [Read more...] about Trump Waves Goodbye to the White House After One Last Whine

COVID response shows a way forward on private gun sale checks
When a Self-Check results in a “Proceed,” the buyer would receive a transaction number with the identifying information submitted for the Self-Check. The NICS would save the transaction number and information (such as date of birth) associating the number with the buyer until the Self-Check expires. All other information about the buyer would be destroyed within 24 hours, as the law requires the NICS to do for all “allowed transactions.” The seller, in turn, would match the buyer’s government-issued picture ID to the Self-Check response and validate the response through a website. The validation process would not require information about the gun and would be designed so the NICS would not keep records on the seller’s identity. … [Read more...] about COVID response shows a way forward on private gun sale checks

Live updates: It’s Inauguration Day for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
3:30 p.m. Trump farewell message says his movement just starting: President Trump on Tuesday released an unrepentant farewell video to the nation, touting his accomplishments, saying “we did what we came here to do and so much more.” Even as he leaves office with a dismal approval rating, and on a day when the nation crossed the dark milestone of 400,000 coronavirus deaths, he praised his record on dealing with the pandemic. “This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous,” he said, never mentioning the name of the successor who defeated him, President-elect Joe Biden. “As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning.
