WASHINGTON – President Joe #Biden’s agenda, from abortion rights to climate change and more, will largely be #blunted in the new #Congress, with his party’s grip on #CapitolHill loosening for the first time since taking office.

With a #fractured 51-seat #majority in the #Senate and his party in the minority in the #House of Representatives, Biden will find himself with fewer allies.

We use either #blunted steel #weapons or "wasters"; the latter are usually made from nylon / PVC and designed to be as close as possible to the weight and balance of the original #weapon.
All this is complex, but the right gear enables you to fight realistically in close to "real time", without having to pull your punches. Since the advent of #historical #European #martialArts (#HEMA) the #equipment has become very simple to obtain; there are quite a few online stores that carry them.
