NOTE TO READERS
I thought it would be useful to describe to you my goals for the TR and my main methods.

• TR land is not the land of Chicken Little where the sky is always falling.
• It is also not Pollyanna land where everything is just fine.
• TR land is the land of accurate researched facts, accurate analyses, and accurate predictions.
• Each year I make 60 to 80 predictions at the start of the year. Experts disagree vehemently about the issues I address. From 2017 through 2020 my predictions have been correct 90% of the time.

DON’T MISS A SINGLE ISSUE!

Thanks,
Al

In-Brief

1. Other than dozens of Executive Orders and making proposals that are going nowhere, the Biden-Harris administration is in disarray as it approaches 100 Days in office.
2. The crisis at the southern border keeps getting worse according to both Ds and Rs. Biden, himself, now admits it is a crisis, although the White House says he did not mean what he clearly said.
3. VP Harris, appointed by Biden to deal with the border problems, was a total no-show for a full month.
4. President Biden proposes a $2.3T “infrastructure” bill that is more of a social-welfare bill than an infrastructure bill. It will not pass in its current form and may not pass at all because several Senate Democrats oppose major parts of it. Republicans support only the real infrastructure components of the bill, which represent well less than one-half of the spending. The Republicans have offered a $600B plan that is almost all real infrastructure. A compromise now looks likely.
5. More progress on winning the war against Covid-19. We are near herd immunity. Over 80% of Americans now have Covid-19 antibodies in our bodies which resist the disease.
6. President Biden’s overall approval rating in the Rasmussen Poll is 52% and his disapproval rating is to 46%. He has 33% strong approval and 40% strong disapproval – a minus 7 index score.
7. Vaccinations against Covid, with vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J, have reached over 220 million doses administered. There have been very few serious reactions to the vaccines in the US. The use of the J&J vaccine had been paused because 7 of 7,000,000 doses may have caused blood clots in younger women. This is 0.00001 percent. The FDA has now reinstated it’s use across the country.
8. The US economy began a strong recovery last June. The recovery has been V-shaped, and the economy will likely grow by 8% this year or more. The unemployment rate is likely to fall to less than 5%.
