Okay, so COVID, murder hornets and rioting haven't worked. Bring on the hurricanes...
Tropical Storm Isaias battered Puerto Rico with heavy rains and high winds Thursday morning as it works its way through the Caribbean and tracks toward Florida. Central Florida remains in the cone.
The storm is moving northwest at 21 mph with maximum sustained winds that picked up overnight to near 60 mph. It’s about 100 miles west-southwest of Ponce, Puerto Rico, the National Hurricane Center said in its 5 a.m. Thursday advisory.
Meteorologist Jayme King said Wednesday that Isaias’ track had shifted east because it will potentially interact with weather coming from the western United States. “With everything going on with COVID the last thing we need is a hurricane or even a tropical storm and all the hysteria that comes with that,” he said.

A Tennessee state senator was charged with swindling $600,000 in federal funds to pay for her wedding and finance a lavish lifestyle, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday. From 2015 to 2019, state Sen. Katrina Robinson (a 'woman of color' as it was pointed out in the story) is accused of stealing the money that was granted to The Healthcare Institute — a company she directed, according to prosecutors.
In addition to covering her wedding costs, Robinson, a Democrat from a Memphis district elected in 2018, is charged with using the funds to pay for her honeymoon and pay legal fees for her divorce, the feds charge.

What exactly the fuck has happened to America?
We have lost our collective minds.
The president of the American Federation of Teachers warned Wednesday that strikes due to unsafe working conditions in schools were possible in Texas, Florida and Arizona — all states with high coronavirus infection rates. “If people die while they are educating kids, you eviscerate any credibility that you would have going forward about whether or not a school is safe,” Randi Weingarten told POLITICO.
The one good thing that could come out of this?
They don't get paid if they go on strike. Morons.
Earlier this month the American Federation of Teachers, which represents over 1.7 million educators, adopted a resolution which demands the only schools that should reopen for in-person instruction should be in places where the infection rate of COVID-19 is below 5 percent. The group also said that schools should only reopen if those educators who are at high risk of getting the virus have access to special accommodations and authorities agree to shut the school down should there be a spike in cases. Some of the demands include social distancing, gloves, updates to the building’s ventilation system and face coverings.
WTF is going on where everybody and their fuckin' brother is protesting these days? Get a different hobby you fuckin' bored dickheads.

I guess this is the kinda story that the word 'foment' was invented for.

Google this place - it's pretty amazing. It's in Ft. Lauderdale. Barb and Ken were certainly in the spirit the night they went for dinner...

Today's item to ponder:
EVERYTHING that happened in the Quran, The Torah and The Bible all took place within that little teenie, tiny circle.

I guess since this lockdown shit started, people are now hoarding coins?
What the fuck is THAT all about?
Anyway, I have used 'exact' change in probably 30 years. It makes me crazy when you're behind that fat little old idiot lady at the cash register and when everything's all said and done only then does she get out that ridiculous little fuckin' 70 year old change purse thing and starts counting out 98 fuckin' cents in pennies and nickels. It amazes me that my brain hasn't exploded 50 friggin' times all ready.
So everyday when I get back to the house I always, by habit, immediately take of my hat, empty my pockets, put my phone on the charger, and head for the bedroom to dump my change in the change jar. Been doing this for ever and a fuckin' day, and ain't gonna change any time soon.
Barb bought this set for me a few years back. When it's time to roll 'em up and bring 'em in (and YES - I roll them myself. FUCK taking them to a coin counter machine and paying 12% commission), I grab a beer and a smoke, turn on some tunes, sit down and sort 'em up. It's good therapy and I really kinda get a kick outta doin' it.
This simple little thing is fuckin' brilliant. In each successive tray the holes get smaller. Ya pour all of the different coins in to the top tray and shake it. The coins fall through to the shelf they belong in. Couldn't be easier.
It's relatively inexpensive and easy as shit to use.

Starting on Thursday, Ohio pharmacies, clinics and other medical facilities will be prohibited from dispensing or selling the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, to treat the novel coronavirus.
State regulations were updated on Wednesday to reflect the change but also included several caveats, such as if the prescription is for a pet or if it is part of a clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of the drug when used to fight COVID-19.
“No prescription for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine may be dispensed by a pharmacist or sold at retail by a licensed terminal distributor of dangerous drugs.
Somehow, I guess it only works on Republicans -
can that be true?

Notorious has been fighting this round since February, so I'm guessing they're just maintaining. She probably thinks Fake News is right and the Senate has a good chance of changing hands.
ReplyDeleteAfter the last 5 months? Kinda doubt it.
As for teacher strikes, a lot of people are already thinking homeschooling, so give it another push. This ain't 1970.
Anent the 369th Inf, a much-esteemed regiment who overcame prejudice to the effect that members of the 27th Division told the shop owners that if they did not serve black soldiers that they can close their stores and leave town. The white soldiers then stated "They're our buddies. And we won't buy from men who treat them unfairly".
Their most distinguished member was Hank Johnson, who was awarded both the Medal of Honor and the Croix de Guerre for service with the French Army.
In WWII, they served on the Zamboanga peninsula on Mindanao.
well played my friend - did you realize that that pic was colorized?
