It's amazing he can breathe on his own. New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio is just flabbergasted that criminals, upon being released on prison early to keep them from getting sick, might go on to – and hold your breath here – commit even more crimes. Following a New York Post report detailing how some criminals released from NYC prisons over COVID-19 concerns have since continued to break the law amid the city’s coronavirus shutdown, De Blasio said it was “unconscionable” that the former inmates would commit more crimes. “I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” De Blasio said during a Monday morning press briefing. When the Kung flu bullshit overreaction gets sorted out hopefully institutions of higher learning are culled. Another day another outrage. Public university fired professor for calling microaggressions handout ‘garbage’: lawsuit The university sent an explicit message: “Agree with us or else”‘ The University of North Texas fired a full-time math professor for the weighty crime of disagreeing with fliers on “microaggressions,” according to a First Amendment lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court. Represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, Nathaniel Hiers alleges the taxpayer-funded institution rescinded his spring contract “without notice” for making a joke. UNT retaliated against him, engaged in content- and viewpoint-based discrimination, and attempted to compel speech from him. The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You TM Ten weeds you can eat Your backyard could be loaded with edibles. There was a time when the only place you might encounter a thicket of invasive Japanese knotweed or a tangle of pokeweed was while bushwacking in the urban or rural wilds. While most weeds will be left to languish in the wilderness, there is a growing awareness that many of these unruly plants—usually a blight to farmers and home gardeners—have something in common: They can be quite good to eat. This spring, bundles of tender, young knotweed and pokeweed shoots will be appearing tentatively at greenmarkets. Along with wild cresses, aggressive onions, rampant mugwort, and habitat-altering autumn berries, they represent a steadily rising tide of edibles-formerly-known-as-weeds becoming available to cooks.Or there could be a tasty white-tail deer back there. Love the one when you're with. REALLY NSFW: LANGUAGE Mark Dice portrays Macho Tater Jews and Christians recently were not allowed to celebrate their Holy Days. What will the Muslims do for their upcoming Holy Month of Ramadan? A Syracuse mosque is still open for daily prayers amid the Coronavirus shutdown as Christians are threatened and fined for attending drive-in services. New York is the country’s Coronavirus epicenter with more than 18,000 deaths, however this mosque is still open for prayers. This mosque located on the north side was once the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, but it closed down due to lack of parishioners — now it is considered a victory mosque. May 27th is a big day. Not only is Wisconsin supposedly be free of its Nazi occupation. Astronauts are being sent into space from American soil. The last space shuttle launched in 2011 and NASA hasn't sent astronauts to space from US soil since then. That long dry patch is set to end on May 27 when the SpaceX Crew Dragon is scheduled to head to the International Space Station with two crew members on board. Are You Wearing Sweatpants While Working At Home During Bat Soup Virus? The LA Times Is Not Happy With You No matter what is going on, there will always be hot takes. People being Offended. I suspect if we had an alien invasion, nuclear war, a supervolcano going off, a zombie apocalypse, you’d still have SJWs being SWJs and naggy nags being nags My work from home outfits? Depending on the season, shorts & t-shirts or sweat pants & hoodies. Some days they even match. Fear mongering. Or how the Kung flu is actually causing real harm to people who need medical care. Although canceling procedures such as elective hernia repairs and knee replacements is relatively straightforward, for many interventions the line between urgent and nonurgent can be drawn only in retrospect. As Brian Kolski, director of the structural heart disease program at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange County, California, told me, “A lot of procedures deemed ‘elective’ are not necessarily elective.” Two patients in his practice whose transthoracic aortic valvular replacements were postponed, for example, died while waiting. “These patients can’t wait 2 months,” Kolski said. “Some of them can’t wait 2 weeks.” Rather than a broad moratorium on elective procedures, Kolski believes we need a more granular approach. “What has been the actual toll on some of these patients?” he asked.Kill the economy, indirectly kill ill non-Kung flu patients, good. Orangeman and the constitution, bad. Very bad. My guess if you look up the definition of the word c**t, a photo of Joy Behar would be present. Joy Behar wouldn't know what a "domestic terrorist" was if it slapped her across her fat mouth. “The View” co-host Joy Behar has let it be known that if you’re exercising two of our most essential constitutional rights at the same time, you’re a “domestic terrorist” who, ostensibly, should be jailed. Or something. During her Monday program, Behar claimed that Americans who show up armed to protest ‘stay-at-home’ orders imposed as part of ongoing coronavirus-related shutdowns are “being egged on” by right-wing media types Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones and, thus, are ‘threats’ to our way of life. “These people are being egged on by right-wing media people like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. Why are you bringing guns to a rally?” she said. Um, because we’re allowed to? “You want to call yourself protesters, leave your guns at home. Those are terrorists who bring guns to things — to rallies. I don’t trust that at all. And don’t listen to these people,” Behar continued. The story behind 4/20. In 1971, somewhere around harvest time in California, a group of San Rafael High School students known as “the Waldos,” because they liked to congregate outside class against a wall, inherited a map. It allegedly led to a crop of abandoned cannabis plants near the Point Reyes Peninsula Coast Guard station, just up the coast from San Francisco. The friends planned to meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to see if the map was real. For weeks, the Waldos gathered at 4:20 and hopped in a ’66 Chevy Impala, smoking joints the whole way out. The Waldos never actually found the hidden treasure, yet the term “420” became embedded in their dialogue, referring to their favorite plant while teachers and parents were conveniently left in the dark. He fought the law. And the law and the heavy equipment won. Genius Award Winner. A man protesting the handling of coronavirus in state prisons was taken into custody Friday morning after he trapped himself in two concrete-filled barrels outside the Governor's Mansion, police said. Jordan Mazurek, 28, was first seen outside the fence of the mansion in downtown Tallahassee around 6 a.m. He identifies himself on social media as a sociologist from Fort Worth, Texas, and the "national organizer and co-creator of the Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons."

Former first lady Michelle Obama made a big push for vote by mail during a virtual voter registration drive on Monday that included appearances by a giddy Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who recently recovered from COVID-19. While the online event was billed as a non-partisan effort, it was dominated by former Obama administration faces, including former special White House advisor Valerie Jarrett.

Sorry I missed the Nesbit discussion on the last thread. I LOVE her. She wrote at least a little for adults, too - her short story collection "In Homespun", which is on Project Gutenberg, is definitely not for kids.
And I always liked Puddleglum too, but my favorite Narnia character is Eustace. One of these days, I need to finish that essay I have half-written in my head, "The Circumcision and Baptism of Eustace Clarence Scrubb". (Short version: when Aslan tore the dragon skin off him painfully and threw him into the pond, that was his circumcision and subsequent baptism. And as Lewis says, "He began to be a different boy.")

The US intelligence agencies are receiving information that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in grave danger after undergoing surgery, CNN reported on Monday. Earlier Monday, a South Korean media report said that the 36-year-old despot was being treated following a cardiovascular procedure earlier this month. The reclusive leader missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday, the nation's founder, Kim Il Sung, on April 15, sparking speculations about his health.

Former first lady Michelle Obama made a big push for vote by mail during a virtual voter registration drive on Monday that included appearances by a giddy Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who recently recovered from COVID-19. While the online event was billed as a non-partisan effort, it was dominated by former Obama administration faces, including former special White House advisor Valerie Jarrett.
Posted by: Nevergiveup at April 20, 2020 10:16 PM (85Gof) Voting by mail is a terrible idea. Did you know that over 1,800,000 of the Russians who elected Donald Trump in 2016 cast their ballots by mail? True fact. Be sure to tell everyone you know.

Hrothgar - I'm probably not the best person to answer that because I still (re)read a lot of children's classics like Wind in the Willows, Chronicles of Prydain, etc., and authors like L'Engle, Nesbit, Alcott, Burnett, Angela Brazil (pronounced brazzle), LM Montgomery, etc., etc. So, in my opinion, absolutely, but you have to take that with a grain of salt because I would also recommend the Chronicles of Prydain.

As for the Horde, you're lucky that MisHum isn't a fan of Iannis Xenakis. Or of The Residents. Iannis could clear your sinuses out. And the early Residents would give Zappa pause. (They've since become quite safe, so no worries.) Myself, I would love a month of Mr. Xenakis (I listen to his works pretty regularly) and the early Residents were an experience. That's how I'll leave it. An experience. So, for me, tomorrow is the first of some Big Things. Wednesday is free, but then Thursday is another Big Thing.

So,
On my way to work this morning (8:05 AM) from NoHo into Van Nuys via Victory Blvd.....hit a stop light just past Van Nuys Blvd....glanced to my right aaaannnndddd, just up the block, 7 to 8 LAPD officers trying to corral some crazed tweaker screaming and yelling with a shopping cart full of the most recent "Shinny Things".....of notice to me at least.....none of the boys and girls in blue... were wearing masks....of any sort. And I thought....most odd. Then the light changed and further thought was erased to focus on driving in what seems to be heavier traffic than what I've seen last 2 weeks. HHhhmmm......

140 Is Kim's sister also named Kim?
Posted by: davidt at April 20, 2020 10:31 PM (l3+k2) I believe Kim is the family name. A lot of Asian cultures go family name first, given name last. For whatever reason we seem to leave Korean names as is I guess? But like Japanese we switch them. So the creator of Mario is named Shigeru Miyamoto is how we write and say his name in English but in Japanese he would be addressed as Miyamoto Shigeru.

You can thank Bill Clinton for those ChiCom nukes. If you remember the Wen Ho Lee shit, the Chicoms managed to steal the crown jewels of our nuclear secrets, the non-spherical primaries on the thermonukes that go into the MIRVs. The non-spherical design allowed them to take less space in the conical reentry vehicles. Non-spherical implosion designs are orders of magnitude more complex that spherical, and are a testament to American physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer simulation prowess. Chicoms walked off with that shit. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 20, 2020 10:42 PM (rCwaK) 214

132 Hrothgar - I'm probably not the best person to answer that because I still (re)read a lot of children's classics like Wind in the Willows, Chronicles of Prydain, etc., and authors like L'Engle, Nesbit, Alcott, Burnett, Angela Brazil (pronounced brazzle), LM Montgomery, etc., etc. So, in my opinion, absolutely, but you have to take that with a grain of salt because I would also recommend the Chronicles of Prydain.
Posted by: Mrs. Peel at April 20, 2020 10:29 PM I LOVE the Chronicles of Prydain. Our library had three or four re-issued paperback books and couldn't afford to order the others. I asked for them at Christmas one year, but they were out-of-print IIRC and instead I got The Lord of the Rings boxed set. The only Nesbit I read was her "Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare" which the librarian dug up while looking for Lambs' adaptations. Arthur Rackham illustrations throughout. The one thing I really desired in my childhood was MORE BOOKS, so I've been playing catch-up ever since. Posted by: NaughtyPine at April 20, 2020 10:43 PM (/+bwe) 217

Serious question Mrs. Peel, is the Narnia series readable (and worth reading) by people over 29? Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar at April 20, 2020 10:20 PM (BiNEL) I second that. As you undoubtedly know, C.S. Lewis books are going to have quite overt Christian themes. As fo interesting an adult, the Narnia books were written at a time when children were better educated, so I think you may be pleasantly surprised. I read them for the first time in my 50s and found them very good. Fenelon: Thanks for not embarrassing me about getting E Nesbit's name all wrong in the last thread. Should have double checked her first name and the spelling of the last. I had a tab open to check the book titles too. Posted by: PennaLady at April 20, 2020 10:44 PM (8HBLI) 221

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio is just flabbergasted that criminals, upon being released on prison early to keep them from getting sick, might go on to p- and hold your breath here p- commit even more crimes.
When I was in college I had a summer job where i worked on an assembly line alongside convicts who were close to parole. You would chat while you worked. It was sad because these people had no sense of responsibility, no maturity, and no self restraint. And yes, once they were released they were likely to get into trouble and be back in within a short time. Add to that substance abuse issues. They were the type of people who, if they won a million dollars in the lottery, would be broke within a year. Anyone connected with the prison system could have told Mayor DeDumbass what would happen. Posted by: nerdygirl at April 20, 2020 10:46 PM (+lVUW) 232

Yes! Susan Cooper! I LOVE those Dark is Rising books. Loved them as a kid and still do as an adult.
For Montgomery, I also highly recommend The Blue Castle. I'd consider it a more adult book (not in the bow chicka wow wow sense, in the sense that it explores more mature themes) than the Anne books (which I do love). The Blue Castle is really hard to describe, but I'll give you a bit that I understand very well: "They [the main character, whose name is Valancy, and her mom and elderly cousin who lives with them] talked of the things they always talked of. Valancy did not wonder what would happen if she tried to talk of something else. She knew. Therefore she never did it." I feel like that at my extended family get-togethers all the time. And: "Yet she was not sorry that she had done it, only that she had offended her mother. Things would be so uncomfortable until she was forgiven. Mrs. Frederick was one of those women who can make their anger felt all over a house. Walls and doors are no protection from it." I realize I'm not selling the book at all with those...I can only say, I read that book a further 3-4 times in the first month I discovered it, and I still reread it frequently. I would have had a hard time not naming a daughter Valancy had I had one. Posted by: Mrs. Peel at April 20, 2020 10:46 PM (rWZ8Y) 235

That mosque is violating NY law as near as I can tell from NY.gov website -- Here's the relevant text:
Pursuant to Executive Order 202.10, all non-essential gatherings of individuals of any size for any reasons (e.g. worship services, parties, celebrations, or other social events) are canceled or postponed. Congregate services within houses of worship are prohibited. Houses of worship may only be used by individuals and only where appropriate social distancing of, at least, six feet between people can be maintained. Further, individuals should not gather in houses of worship, homes, or other locations for religious services until the end of this public health emergency. If possible, religious leaders should consider alternative forms of worship, replacing in-person gatherings with virtual services, such as phone or conference calls, videoconference calls, or online streaming. Yup, they are breaking the law. The webpage I grabbed that from was updated 4/19, so it is current rules. This is my not surprised face. In Bangladesh a couple of days ago, a prominent imam croaked, and Bangladesh is under a lockdown order as well. 10,000 muzzies showed up in a packed crowd, with very few masks even. This is my even less not surprised face. Posted by: GnuBreed at April 20, 2020 10:50 PM (Z4rgH) 254

After getting in an argument with a bunch of buddies on Discord today I'm just sitting here dejected. Trump can't win this. It was tailor made to defeat him and given legitimacy by unimpeachable scientific and medical "experts" who will undoubtedly be wrong in the long run but you can't actually say that - like I tried today, and likely lost friends in the process. The fence-sitting Trump voter that would have pulled the lever for him pre-COVID is not going to remember the amazing economy. They're not going to remember the disengagement from foreign wars or increased border security. They're going to think one of two things. Either we were ill prepared, or we responded poorly to the crisis. It's a no-win situation trying to open the country up again. Grrr. It's going to be really brutal these next couple years suffering through a Joe Biden or whoever replaces him after he finally has a stroke.

I'll never forget the time some dumb UU minister said to Christopher Hitchens, "I wonder what you would say to a Christian like me who doesn't necessarily believe in the Resurrection and all that and just thinks Jesus was a great moral teacher," and Christopher Hitchens - CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS - said, "I would say that if you do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God and that he died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected, then you are not in any meaningful sense a Christian."

Wiki's paragraph describing the Zappa GFR album: The band had actually broken up, but after Frank Zappa expressed interest in producing an album for them, they reassembled for one more attempt at success. Recorded in 1976 for MCA Records, this album included a guest performance by Zappa, playing lead guitar on the song "Out to Get You". Although the pairing seemed bizarre, Grand Funk drummer Don Brewer said, "His whole viewpoint on what rock and roll is all about is basically the same as ours.... Keep it as simple as possible and really bring the balls out of this thing." now that's a quote. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at April 20, 2020 11:14 PM (sy5kK) 340

He will win the popular vote unless they run up totals with fake mail-in votes in deep blue states. Which is mostly what mail-in is about *this* cycle. That's why you'll see it in places like Cali, NY and Illinois. It's also a good test run for their cheating in future cycles. The Left cannot have Trump winning the popular vote.

I just got this vision of what the endgame will be like without prosecutions for the operation against Trump.
We will finally have the last scrap of document that shows that Brennan got Five Eyes involved in a "sting" on the Trump organization. Internally, the FIB intended on spying on the Trump campaign. They withheld evidence they overrepresented evidence. Putin was not for Trump, that's just part of the shell game. All those things, put in a nice neat pile in front of the #Resistance. To show that all their theories were based on disinformation to get them to believe what they believed. And they'll stare back and say "So?" Posted by: Axeman at April 20, 2020 11:37 PM (Eicbe) 390

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at April 20, 2020 11:33 PM (mNq/0) Trump has so many lessons to teach the electorate. Life under socialized medicine is all about the suffering - invisible in the statistics, but otherwise all too real. They're going to try to crowd him out with their Hearings - oh yes they will - but it won't matter. When Trump speaks about the horrors of Socialism, suddenly our coddled society, shielded from the dark twisted legacy of communism, has a legitimate frame of reference of how quickly even the best things can go to shit. That's why the Blame Train is revving up in all quarters. Because if they don't pin *all* the blame on Trump, for the rest of the year, and he starts talking while everyone is listening, he is going to teach America a hard lesson in bold colors they can neither miss nor forget.

Yep. It takes years to get (for example) knee replacement surgery in FreeShitIstans like the U.K. It's not uncommon to die without ever getting to the front of the line.

Chicoms are pulling shit in the South China Sea, messing around in the "disputed waters" off Malaysis, and some oil platforms operating there. The USS TR and Ronald Reagan, are of course sitting in port, thanks to WuFlu problems. Those are our only two carriers in the Pacific. So, the US Navy is sending the USS America, an amphibious assault ship to the area to challenge the Chicom ships. Anyone who still has any sympathy for the captain of the TR should take note of this.

Invisible enemies are on notice.
Y'all might be interested in this paper https://tinyurl.com/yb999tag "The sudden outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally with more than 1,300,000 patients diagnosed and a death toll of 70,000. Current genomic survey data suggest that single nucleotide variants (SNVs) are abundant. However, no mutation has been directly linked with functional changes in viral pathogenicity. Here we report functional characterizations of 11 patient-derived viral isolates, all of which have at least one mutation. Importantly, these viral isolates show significant variation in cytopathic effects and viral load, up to 270-fold differences, when infecting Vero-E6 cells. We observed intrapersonal variation and 6 different mutations in the spike glycoprotein (S protein), including 2 different SNVs that led to the same missense mutation. Therefore, we provide direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 has acquired mutations capable of substantially changing its pathogenicity." Could be true--! Might explain a lot.

Today went with husband to dr...recurrent heart issue that needed to be addressed.
The good news personally was that so far the return to some meds are dealing with the issue. Also of interest was what the dr. told us about crudflu deaths and incidence. 1)Worst week was the week before the shutdown imposed (consistent with what I've always found with crises--they reach a peak just before the "remedy" is begun/imposed. 2)Never had any shortages in PPE, beds, ICU or vents 3)50%+ of deaths in individuals with diabetes 4)Current number of admitted patients close to only 25% of the peak number a bit over a month ago. Also read separately that 8003 of the total Crudflu deaths as of 4/18 occurred among nursing home other older folks residences. This is nearly 25% of the deaths. Why did the govs (and Fauci/Birx for that matter) not look at the EARLY issues in Washington state with nursing homes and address that issue earlier? Just shows that "experts" focus often on the wrong issues not to mention solutions. Posted by: groovygirl at April 21, 2020 12:25 AM (ybC9u) 518

What if Trump were to declare China guilty of damages to the USA and comes up with a figure of how much they would have to pay back to square things, say 1 Trillion dollars.

China owns a whole bunch of Fed Securities, things analagous to T-Bills and what not. We can't default on some without defaulting on all of them, and that would mean defaulting on all US securities in the world.

The US Treasury knows the owner of every single T bill, note, and bond out there. The way it works, basically, in terms of international trade is we buy a bunch of shit from China. We pay them in dollars, the international reserve currency. China's central bank takes those dollars. They'll need some of the directly, but they can't do much with those dollars otherwise, so they want to buy some interest bearing assets with those. So they buy Ts, and that sits on the asset side of the Chicom central bank's balance sheet. So, we buy shit with dollars, they loan them back to us, and we buy more shit. The holder of every single penny of US debt is known. Every issue has something called a CUSIP, which is a unique ID. We could selectively repudiate any of those CUSIPs.

>> It'd be the death of the world economic system for decades.
This Wuflu thing is a big black swan. Repudiating Chicom debt is not something to be done rashly, but it is an option. It would require most of the rest of the Western World (and Japan, and other big players in the global markets) to be on board. We couldn't do this unilaterally, I'll agree there. But the Chicoms have pissed the shit out of just about everybody. I'm sure all the spook agencies now know this thing leaked from the Wuhan lab, and the Chicoms covered up it and likely knowingly let it spread, reasoning if they take a big economic hit, they're gonna make the rest of us eat that same shit sandwich. The way to do it would be to demand "reparations", exactly equal to the debt the Chicoms hold, and then cancel the debt in lieu of payment of reparations. So make it look like something other than repudiation on paper. Enough of a fig leaf, and with the rest of the world playing along.

I don't think you really need the scare quotes around reparations. The damage from Chinese negligence and/or malice is very large and very real. Demanding to be made whole for that damage is a completely reasonable thing. As AOP mentioned, it's not just the United States that's been damaged here. The Asshoes have fucked over every country of the world, and they need to be held accountable for that. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at April 21, 2020 01:01 AM (mNq/0) 585
I hope PDT has some very creative means of dealing with China. He's definitely knowledgeable about the tools that he can use and I trust him to do what is within his enumerated powers to use them.
BTW I noticed that the way he pronounces CHY-nah is the same pronunciation as the Chinese propogandist ("reporter"). PDT gets made fun of for that. On the other hand, the JEF saying POCK-EE-stawn sent a thrill through the underpants of every stenographer in the White House press corps(e). They're detestable.

You can thank Bill Clinton for those ChiCom nukes. If you remember the Wen Ho Lee shit, the Chicoms managed to steal the crown jewels of our nuclear secrets, the non-spherical primaries on the thermonukes that go into the MIRVs. The non-spherical design allowed them to take less space in the conical reentry vehicles.
Non-spherical implosion designs are orders of magnitude more complex that spherical, and are a testament to American physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer simulation prowess. Chicoms walked off with that shit. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 20, 2020 10:42 PM (rCwaK) I was selling Cray-2s to LLNL at that time.

Confiscation of U.S. located assets owned by Chinese (cash, real estate) is closer to other precedents (i.e., Iran) than repudiation of debt. The latter would have huge repurcussions on money markets. Remember the US has huge amount of debt and it is growing. We need to be able to sell U.S. debt.

Tested ... 2,500 Positive ... 1,828 Hospitalized ... 38 No deaths have been reported, but we can get a sense of how likely being exposed to Corona will put you in the hospital: 38 / 1828 * 100 = 2.078 ...a 2% chance of developing an illness being serious enough to need treatment in a hospital setting. 1 in 50, if you are an adult male.

I have yet to find out how much official, sovereign debt China holds (ie German bonds, Frog bonds, UK, etc, etc), but I stumbled on something else. China is doing a lot of predatory lending to 3rd world nations. Africa, South America and other shit holes. And this largely secret. Off the official books. A total of $5T, half of which is undocumented (and therefore an estimate). China's own govt debt stands at around $6T or so in US dollars in 2018. What it is now is probably around $8T. Chicoms don't report things too transparently or accurately.

--- SO FRIENDS IN NYC TELL ME that the lockdown is beginning to fail. People in their neighborhood — even old people — who were wearing masks a few days ago now aren’t. Long lines at soup kitchens and food pantries and check-cashing places. A generally more sad and more aggressive attitude.

Even if NYC has a full-on defection, where 80% of Yakkers are back out on the streets being New Yakkers, it still is too instrumental for the battle line states to keep the lock down, so my prediction is that the press will try to deny what would be going on in urbane NYC as long as possible, so we can get mail-in

I suspect millions dead is probably... off by at least a factor of ten. Then again, I don't know anyone who is actually IN Wuhan, only people who know people in China. Most Chinese are not being affected by the virus right now, but that's only because Wuhan was basically flattened. We don't really know how many died, nor do they.

ps about mutation of the coronavirus, it happens because you and many other creatures get coinfected by more than one strain, and those viruses often coinfect a cell, and then the viruses that get produced will have some of one RNA and some of another. We know this because the Wuhan people were feckin around with this process in bats.

As you may have heard, California is releasing thousands of criminals from jail -- completely shredding any last vestige of "the rule of law: -- because of supposed risk of catching the Wuhan Flu in jail. What was the purpose of holding all those thousands of trials in the first place and handing out all those jail sentences? None. Every far-leftist's fantasy come true -- open the prisons!
Well, in this one instance yesterday, a criminal was arrested for committing a crime, sent to jail - but then released to be free as a bird just 12 hours later to save him from possibly getting the sniffles. Guess how long it took him to commit a new violent felony? Hell, you don't need to guess, because I'll tell you: 37 minutes: https://patch.com/california/sanleandro/ man-arrested-oakland-sunday-released-arrested-again Man Arrested In Oakland Sunday, Released, Arrested Again "A man was arrested in a stolen car in Oakland at 7:50 a.m. Sunday, released at 7:23 p.m. then carjacked someone at the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station 37 minutes later...."

If the FIB is going to allow themselves this much discretion, how is it that the person actually Constitutionally vested with all their power and more has to be checked at every point?
They used the conventions of the power of the executive as *they* determined necessary.

It's not real numbers and that's a fact. Every death is being attributed to bat flu. As I said numerous times, the only legitimate Covid death should be a positive RNA test for the specific antibodies of this virus accompanied by pneumonia. Anything else is complete and total bullshit. Case in point, my friends mom died last week, she was in a nursing home, she was 82, she had been there for two years after suffering a stroke and Demetria, she died of heart failure, they listed her death as Covid related. I asked my friend did the home tell you she had a cough, or fever or had developed pneumonia? He said no. Just called and said his mom passed in the night due to Covid.

Sweden reported only 40 deaths yesterday, from a high of 170 reported five days prior. But their "let it burn" strategy is producing steep waves of both new cases and deaths, every 5 days is goes up sharply follows by 5 days of steep drop in numbers. It's almost like the virus is moving from town to town killing people (or more likely nursing home to nursing home).

If the estimates that 66% of people infected with corona are asymptomatic is correct, face masks might not be the worst idea. A simple surgical mask would block the breath from a silent carrier blowing directly on your face when they join you for an elevator ride. Or vice versa, we all could have it and never know.

I still want to know a total amount that each "saved" life cost. Not the amount billed to the insurance company for the hospital stay, although that should be included, but things like the billions spent paying every government employee everywhere for a month and a half while most provide no services, the amount of tax dollars that aren't coming in to places like Charleston, the $2T just passed and everything coming, the unemployment payments, etc.

Let me be clear, I have been talking to liberal democrats from Oakland, across the Golden Rust Bridge to Santa Clara, around to Folsom street and Sacramento. Most of my Dem donors are unhappy that they go 3 cents on the dollar while donating their economic stimulus dollars to the DNC via the Obama Foundation. All they got was a crappy Asian covid19 report and a sound bite on TV. But, I don't care. It was for a good cause. I am distraught to know that some Georgia governor is open up his state with no graft money from those little business people. I say follow California's Covid19 lock-down rules which allow Mosques and Folsom street bath houses to remain open while taking away the clinger's bibles and guns. Like myself most democrat politicians have their own gun toting security squads to keep them safe. For example Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi both have over $100 million in the bank and heavily armed security gangs. Dems should only let the little business people open after paying gelt.

Regaining the house is unlikely. As of today, you have 26 GOP incumbents retiring vs 7 Democrats. Same dynamic played out in 2016. We had 41 Reps retire in 2016. We need 21 seats to win a majority. So we would have to hold all 26 seats and gain 21. Is it outside the realm of possibility? No. But it's in the same realm of possibility as me getting a date with Kate Upton.

_________________ At the beginning of this shitshow, when pols were freaking out about the # of ventilators available, Musk said that he'd use his factories to manufacture them. There was a story on CNN a few days ago about how Musk claimed he'd sent over a thousand ventilators to various CA hospitals, but Newsom said he didn't. CNN called some of the hospitals on the list Musk gave them, and the hospitals said that he had given them some CPAP machines, but no ventilators. https://preview.tinyurl.com/y8jejbca As has been his habit in the past, Musk talks a big game, but then doesn't produce what he promised.

The funny thing about "we will see who gets away with it" Jack, is that they already got away with it.
They did, at least, in the sense the Demofascists turned the House election their way in 2018 with the fake investigation. It was a panic for me then, watching the thing happen in real time, but now I've come to terms with the no indictments, the no charges, the Schiff Show in the Senate, etc. They may have eventually failed in their coup, but have really effectively convinced all of us how utterly corrupt every single federal IC agency inherently is, and how rotten our allies (Five Eyes plus Italy) are. So what if they eventually indict someone? I hope they do, as a fig leaf throwaway to us serfs, but the moment is long passed us by where that even slightly matters in real political terms.

Ridiculous. We have elections every couple years, the world didn't end in 2018. And all of the people who were involved in the scam have been removed from office one way or another. You know, drain the swamp. Former acting AG Matt Whitaker confirmed in an interview with Sean Spicer last night that the reason Andrew McCabe was removed from office is that he illegally started a criminal investigation on Trump after Trump fired Comey and that's why Rosenstein took the investigation away from him and brought in Mueller just as I've been saying for over 2 years. And what did Mueller do? He proved there was no Russian collusion and nobody can say he was a Trump toady. Payback is coming and it's coming right in the middle of the 2020 election cycle.

Rosenstein took the investigation away from him and brought in Mueller just as I've been saying for over 2 years.
And what did Mueller do? He proved there was no Russian collusion and nobody can say he was a Trump toady. When we look at the unredacted memos, we see that not only was the FISA warrant based on complete bullshit, we see that the FBI and the DoJ knew that. And yet Rosenpenis allowed Mueller to continue. The entire FBI needs to be shitcanned along with the entire executive service level structure of the DoJ. Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at April 21, 2020 07:48 AM (Ds0hh) 997

I saw a Biden quote earlier. When asked about Mooch being his running mate, he said, "I'd take her in a heartbeat. She's brilliant!" Brilliant? Brilliant? In what world is Michelle Obama brilliant? Posted by: Lady in Black, sans mask at April 21, 2020 07:32 AM I certainly hope Trump brings up her patient-dumping scheme at the Chicago Hospital at which they created a special $300k position just for her, since she was the wife of an IL politician they were grooming for Senate and President.

The bullshit unquestioning belief in SCIENCE!!! tells me all I need to know about some people. Not everything to know about them, mind you, just all my simple ass needs to know about them."
On Watt's Up With That, and other sites where we fight against the Global Warming Cult, we've been referring this as "Scientism" - it's the conversion of what began as "science" into a pure Religion, which cannot be questioned and which must be taken on Faith only. And any questioning of the Faithful is pure Heresy, of course. Modern Leftism is a warped, evil Religion which is striving to fill the hole in people's hearts left after they abandoned Christianity.

It's extremely relevant and I'm not deflecting. What else happened in June 2016? Does it strike you as odd after two years of ranting about Rosenstein that he is not under investigation either by Barr who asked him to stay in the job after he had given his notice to help wind down the investigation or by Durham?
