Tens of thousands of motorcyclists arrived in Daytona, Florida earlier this week, present to celebrate the city’s yearly Bike Week tradition. This year’s Bike Week is the 80th occurrence of the tradition, with some estimates of up to 300,000 attending the event. (snip) The yearly event started as a meeting of rival motorcycle gangs, evolving to a national motorcyclist meetup. The bikers were largely welcomed in the city, with the Chamber of Commerce and city governments displaying materials welcoming them. “I refuse to mask. Joe Biden ain’t gonna tell me what to do. I have a constitutional right to do whatever the hell I want,” biker John Saxon,

It's a great rally I attended it for years until it got so crowded that you couldn't walk down the street. Damned right the business's in Daytona love it. For some it is what keeps them in business. Bikers tip good at restaurants, and unlike the car races they don't arrive in big Recreational vehicles and cook their own meals and sleep on the cheap. A biker come with a motorcycle and a couple of changes of clothes and buys his food and sleep in the hotels and motels that charge double during bike week Even the price of hot dogs goes up during Bike week. Bikers spend a ton of money there. Some stores on main street are rented out and only opened during the fall and spring Bike week. The bars are flourishing too, and don't miss the Cabbage Patch. Much toned down over what it once was , but still worth the trip, and the New Smyrna race track with the demolition Derby. Great fun. But please, leave the kids home. It's no place for kids.

#2, I'm betting a substantial number of those bikers in the over 40 crowd towed those bikes behind a MH. Or even on the back of a 5th wheel. :) And trust me, as much as I spent on a MH, I wanna go OUT to eat!

#3, maybe not MH, but trailers or pick-ups... and mostly Hogs... [Wonder why that is... ] Husband rode his Beemer, I drove with our Daughters from N’awlins... Aware of several speed traps on the Panhandle, catching us both once in a tiny community. We didn’t mind going back for Traffic School, enjoying the Gulf again... If you haven’t been there at low tide on the sand one sunrise morning, it’s a joy to behold... bike or not. #3, yes, definitely enjoy the wonderful restaurants... The Breakers on the beach nearby, a little South, with friends was picturesque and lovely. God bless DeSantis! KAG

There are always those who have something to say about people who tow their bikes to a rally. They brag on the ride like it is a rite of passage. It isn't. Those who tow their bikes avoid the freezing weather from the North when they leave, they enjoy the trip down and when they get tired or sleepy their wife can drive for a while. If it rains they don't have to stop and put on rain gear. Their bike arrives clean and they can enjoy their interlude of riding in the good weather without spending time cleaning the bike. If it rains in Florida, they can put the bike in the trailer and use their tow vehicle to go Orlando or for tourist activities. Riding in the rain in a Fla. Thunderstorm is no fun. I spent an hour under a bridge while it hailed once no fun at all. I have done it both ways I am 78 and do not have to participate in some iron butt endurance contest to go down and enjoy the good riding weather. I rode it for many years and then got smart. One added feature if you don't have the $200 bucks for a room the trailer can also carry a tent or a mattress and you can sleep in the trailer and save yourself a ton of money. I have done that too. How you travel and how you enjoy is a personal choice and nobody's business but your own.

Richard Moorhead...precisely which “mandates” were broken? Guidelines are not mandates, the musings of a senescent are not law, and the 10th amendment limits fed power.

This event takes place outside. Since wearing a mask does nothing to stop virus germs unless it a specific kind of mask, one might as well not wear a mask at all. Besides, wearing a mask outside makes as much sense as trying to snow ski in the summer time.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States. "You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are a silly people. And Americans are a silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote. "Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not a silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight."

A New York State whistleblower says that another wrongheaded policy has cost lives to the state’s most vulnerable, and he blames Governor Andrew Cuomo. In 2011, Jeff Monsour won a landmark federal jury trial for whistleblower retaliation after he disclosed abuses in New York state’s group homes. He told The American Conservative that he and Mike Carey, whose son died in a group home over fourteen years ago, have been warning everyone—including Gov. Cuomo—of the so-called floating policy and its deleterious effects on COVID spread in group homes. “You must immediately STOP all floating of caregivers throughout your entire mental health system. This is extremely dangerous and deadly,”

The Federal Communications Commission designated five Chinese Communist Party-linked tech firms as “national security threats.” Among the companies targeted by the ban are Huawei, ZTE, Hytera Communications Corp, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, and Dahua Technology Co. “Such designations, which will extend to subsidiaries and affiliates of the targeted entities, are required under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019,” South China Morning Post notes. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) highlighted how telecommunications products from and services provided by the aforementioned companies posed “an unacceptable risk to US national security or the security and safety of US persons.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s reputation as the tough-love COVID savior of New York, promoted by the liberal media, is utterly collapsing. (snip) It’s truly unfortunate that it took this second scandal of sexual harassment to turn the tide against Cuomo. His first major scandal, forcing COVID-positive patients into the worst possible environment for the disease’s deadly spread — nursing homes — and then fudging the numbers to cover up virus deaths in those facilities, should have been more than enough for Democrats to call for his resignation.

After weeks of partisan back-and-forth over whether a justice should be appointed so close to the presidential election, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Monday, eight days before Election Day—making her the third successful nomination during President Trump’s tenure and the sixth conservative justice on the nine-person court. Barrett was approved to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court in a 52-48 vote that ended Monday evening, with all but one the Republican senators, who have a majority, voting in her favor.

Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by the Senate Monday evening, filling the vacancy left by liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The vote was nearly entirely along party lines: Senator Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican to dissent, voting with all 47 members of the Democratic Caucus against the conservative Trump nominee over concerns of the proximity to the election. The final vote was 52-48. "Because this vote is occurring prior to the election, I will vote against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett," Collins said in a statement over the weekend.

Well, it’s becoming clearer. This is the third day of hearings on the Supreme Court nomination for Judge Amy Coney Barrett. And support for her confirmation in the polls are soaring. In liberal America, they think confirming her is an unpopular position. It’s not. It’s risen 17 points, with nearly half the country supporting her placement on the Supreme Court, 48/31. Twenty-one percent are still undecided, but it has remained the case that more Americans want her confirmed than not (via Morning Consult) [emphasis mine]: The level of support for Barrett’s nomination, an increase of 11 points since President Donald Trump announced her nomination on Sept. 26,
