Gulf coast ports shut down. That was going to be disastrous. President biden helped get that thing fixed fast. They have agreed, tentatively, to a 62% increase in wages over the next six years. The first offer that the union turned down, to show you how far apart this was, was 40%. That is where this began, so the pressure that the union put on related work and of course the port companies, they were hoping that president biden would feel the pressure of this and just order a tafthartley return to work by that union to get through the election and you can imagine how the company s thought the president will have to do this because this will be so difficult for the harris campaign, but the president kept the administration pushing both sides to an agreement. At 5:30 you can imagine how this was at the white house. The white house chief of staff is on zoom. Pete buttigieg and others in the administration, with both sides forcing them to get together and so both sides understood that it l

Discovery, one that if true, could turn the whole pandemic around. This missouri woman, her name is patricia durgess, was licensed in missouri as an assistant physician. She had done med school at a school in the caribbean but she hadnt been accepted into a residency. She wasnt a full doctor.

But i think its safe to say that april 11, just about a month into the coronavirus pandemic, this is not the person you would expect to be announcing that in fact she had discovered a cure for covid19. But there she was, april 11, on facebook, quote, this amazing treatment stands to provide a potential cure for covid19 patients that is safe and natural. And wouldnt you know it, she would be happy to sell it you to.
