The building that houses the United State Supreme has an inscription: “Equal Justice Colorado has established a vaccine website to help answer your questions as well. It for All”. I believe in that. The FBI is investigating over 170 people for being involved on should be updated as more information becomes available. the attack at the capital. I believe people have a right to demonstrate, this is America. They You can also contact your doctor›s office, medical provider or local hospital — many are do not have a right to violate the law.

That is why the statues of justice wear a blindfold. We should not have two tiers of justice, one for the Trump supporters and the other for perceived anti Trump people. . Our country is pretty well split politically. We have to overcome that if we are to move forward as a country and get back on the road to recovery. We have survived as a nation Health, Safeway, Salud Family Health Centers, Sedgwick County Health Center, Southwest Health System, SLC Health, or call 303-812-2051, UCHealth, Vail Health, ValleyWide Health Systems As of Jan. 12, here are the Kaiser Permanente locations providing the vaccine — to both members and non-members: Aurora Centrepoint Medical Offices, Briargate Medical Offices, Highlands Ranch Medibecause we respected our institutions.

As such the new President deserves an opportunity to succeed. Make no mistake he has KRCC Managing editor Andrea Chalfin and other newsroom editors and reporters conan exceedingly difficult road ahead. The COVID 19 issue is far from resolved. The vaccines tributed to this guide. are coming. If you are in a targeted group and have tried to find out where and when you can get vaccinated, be prepared for a journey. The system is complex, and it will take some time. President Biden will soon realize that being President does not mean everybody COVID-19 Outbreak Data from CDPHE Update loves you, even in your own party. People expect immediate results. The President is one person, words are nice, but results are what people expect.
Domestically the President’s plate will be very full, given COVID 19 and the economy. We have created a massive increase in debt. What will the plan to begin to address that, while still fueling the economy? On top of that there are several major foreign policy situations. The Chinese are increasingly paying a price for their activities. There economy is suffering because of the COVID 19 issues but more importantly their trade situation is not boding well for them. Their trade dispute with Australia and their retaliation on Australian coal has backfired. China is now suffering power outages because they do not have enough coal to power their power plants. Manufacturing jobs are leaving, much the same as what happened to the United States. The Chinese are under increasing pressure on their activities of suppressing the Uyghars population on their western side of their country. The Chinese leader is certainly facing challenging times. This may explain and give credence to a report that the Chinese Army is placing self-destruct devices in the helmets of their troops. That certainly appears to give a significant level of control.
The President’s new cabinet is one with a lot of representation from the Obama presidency and certainly the democratic party faithful. We will see if they will be up to the tasks. This is no simple time. In all of this I would hope that someone begins to address the catastrophic failures of our major cities. The answer is not pumping money in, it is addressing the root causes of the issues. The City of Chicago and now being chased by New York City as examples of ineffective city government. I do not believe it is the federal governments job to fix the problems but how do you hold elected officials accountable when nothing changes or worse, continues to lead greater deterioration of the quality of life for its citizens.
This past election cycle has shown me that the major parties, the Democrats, and the Republicans, are more focused on preserving their elected positions as opposed to seriously addressing the challenging issues that citizens are facing. When we will we hold them accountable for their actions, or worse their inaction?
President Biden won the election, not by much, but he won. We need to give him a chance to succeed. Many are skeptical, about half the population, that is just a reality. Somebody should look into the allegations of voter fraud, not to unseat the newly elected President, but to solidify the faith in the system of the American people, all of them. Do I think there was some improprieties? The answer is yes, enough to change the election result, probably not. We should not ignore examining the issues because it happens to involve President Trump.
All Americans, of whatever party, should be concerned that we should have equal justice for all. That is the American way, and we should all support it.
