Three and one-half years of 'superlative man' hasn't improved my disposition any, with the prospect of chaperoning Biden

into the last stages of senility not improving the outlook.  Which game of 'bait and switch' is the least attractive. Which of the neglected issues the previous administration spun or overlooked while professing profound racial progress ( yay Hawaii )

will be called attention to.  Eight years wasn't enough, we need eight more.    Sure.

Man up Biden.  You have the nomination.  Today, and tomorrow.  Someone else will have to remind you tomorrow.

What really bother me the most, besides the prospect of the entire Democratic parties penchant for focusing on social

ignorance; is I am led to believe there is no conscious leadership, that senile leadership is a second best, and more importantly a strong female image will save them.  And us.

On Rights.

Before I refer you back to Phil_321 of December 2016, I want to encourage all who read this to understand;

     The 45th. President of the United States exercised his rights yesterday inside the Beltway yesterday.

      I respect the rights of that office as I do the rights of all Americans.  Anyone whom would suggest otherwise is suspect.

      The office carries the most important business of our land.  America must yield to anyone's right to assemble.

      Especially so in the case of the Executive Branch.

      In summary, bad photo ops are still constitutionally protected.

      Please refer to Phil_321, December 2016.

tempered by other losses of life.  What would be a traditional-albeit brief essay on Columbine cannot be written until

"we can show them actually what the bill is so they know what they are voting on."

She suggested those issues would be addressed in later legislation. "This is not going to be the last bill," she told PBS.

The bill will not be available until it is passed and recorded.

the minimum wage of $290 a week verses $600 a week in unemployment benefits.

( see previous post )

An American woman who has recovered from the novel coronavirus has a simple message for people who are worried: Don't panic -- but do think about high-risk individuals and stay home if you feel ill. Elizabeth Schneider lives in Seattle, the biggest city of Washington state, which has the most deaths in the United States from the disease sweeping the globe.

The 37-year-old, who has a PhD in bioengineering, said she was sharing her story "to give people a little bit of hope" through her own relatively mild experience with the infection, which she treated herself from home. But, she added, "obviously, it's not something to be completely nonchalant about, because there are a lot of people who are elderly or have underlying health conditions. "That means that we need to be extra vigilant about staying home, isolating ourselves from others."

]This week, US health authorities citing Chinese data said 80 percent of cases have been mild, while the remaining serious cases that required hospitalization affected mainly people over 60 and those with conditions like diabetes, heart disease or lung disease.

- The party -

Schneider first began experiencing flu-like symptoms on February 25, three days after going to a party that was later identified as the place where at least five other people also got infected. "I woke up and I was feeling tired, but it was nothing more than what you normally feel when you have to get up and go to work, and I had been very busy the previous weekend," she told AFP in an interview Wednesday.

By midday, however, she felt a headache coming on, along with a fever and body aches. She decided to leave the office of the biotechnology company where she works as a marketing manager, and went home.

Because she didn't have the most common COVID-19 symptoms like a cough or shortness of breath, Elizabeth Schneider (pictured outside her house in Seattle) thought she "definitely" did not have the virus After waking up from a nap, Schneider found she had a high temperature, which peaked at 103 degrees Fahrenheit that night (39.4 Celsius).

"And at that point, I started to shiver uncontrollably, and I was getting the chills and getting tingling in my extremities, so that was a little concerning," she said.

She turned to over-the-counter flu medications to treat the symptoms and called a friend to be on standby in case she needed to be taken to an emergency room -- but the fever began to recede in the coming days. Schneider had been following news reports about the novel coronavirus. The first US case was detected in Washington in late January.

The state has since gone on to become the epicenter of the disease in the country, with more than 260 cases and at least two dozen deaths. Nationwide, there have been more than 1,100 cases and 30 deaths.

Because she didn't have the most common symptoms like a cough or shortness of breath, "I thought, okay, well that's definitely why I don't have coronavirus," said Schneider.

She had gotten a flu shot but assumed her illness was a different strain. A visit to the doctor would only result in her being asked to go home, rest and drink plenty of fluids.

- 'Pleasantly surprised' -  A few days later, however, she discovered through a friend's Facebook post that several people from the party had all developed similar symptoms, and she began to get more suspicious. Several of these people went to their doctors, where they were found to be negative for the flu, but they were not offered coronavirus tests because they too were not coughing or having breathing trouble. Knowing that she would also likely be turned down for the test, she decided to enroll in a research program called the Seattle Flu Study, hoping it might provide an answer. The team behind the study sent her a nasal swab kit, which she mailed back and waited several more days.

"I finally got a phone call from one of the research coordinators on Saturday (March 7), telling me that 'You have tested positive for COVID-19,'" she said.

"I was a little bit pleasantly surprised, because I thought it was a little bit cool," Schneider admitted, laughing, though her mother cried when she told her.

"Granted, I probably would not have felt that way if I was severely ill," she said. "But from a scientific curiosity perspective, I thought it was very interesting. And also the fact that I finally got confirmation that that's what I had."

By this time, her symptoms had already subsided, and she was told by local health authorities to remain at home for at least seven days after the onset of symptoms or 72 hours after they subsided.

It's now been a week since she's felt better. She has started going out for errands but is still avoiding large gatherings and continuing to work from home.

Schneider said she hoped her example, which will probably be typical of the high majority of cases, could comfort others.

"The message is don't panic," said Schneider. "If you think that you have it, you probably do; you should probably get tested."

"If your symptoms aren't life-threatening, simply stay at home, medicate with over-the-counter medicines, drink lots of water,

get a lot of rest and check out the shows you want to binge-watch," she said.

Let's review...

Republican Containment Suit, CPAC Edition

The Virginia earthquake of 2011 August 23 occurred as reverse faulting on a north or northeast-striking plane within a previously recognized seismic zone, the "Central Virginia Seismic Zone." The Central Virginia Seismic Zone has produced small and moderate earthquakes since at least the 18th century. The previous largest historical shock from the Central Virginia Seismic Zone occurred in 1875. The 1875 shock occurred before the invention of effective seismographs, but the felt area of the shock suggests that it had a magnitude of about 4.8. The 1875 earthquake shook bricks from chimneys, broke plaster and windows, and overturned furniture at several locations. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake on 2003, December 9, also produced minor damage.

Previous seismicity in the Central Virginia Seismic Zone has not been causally associated with mapped geologic faults. Previous, smaller, instrumentally recorded earthquakes from the Central Virginia Seismic Zone have had shallow focal depths (average depth about 8 km). They have had diverse focal mechanisms and have occurred over an area with length and width of about 120 km, rather than being aligned in a pattern that might suggest that they occurred on a single causative fault. Individual earthquakes within the Central Virginia Seismic Zone occur as the result of slip on faults that are much smaller than the overall dimensions of the zone. The dimensions of the individual fault that produced the 2011 August 23 earthquake will not be known until longer-term studies are done, but other earthquakes of similar magnitude typically involve slippage along fault segments that are 5 - 15 km long.

Trade schools are overrun by the undereducated, and administered by the unrepentant.

I was teaching at a truck-driving school in the late 1980's when a student enrolled and was promptly named 'McStuff'.  He finished his attempts

McDonald's when he brought his only staple to class, I interrupted his incomplete sentences, and I even sent him home when he failed to bathe.

And stuff.  I failed him at the end of the syllabus.  The school re-enrolled him and reassigned him a more understanding instructor.  And stuff.

That Instructor showed him the mercy I never would and eventually passed him.  And stuff.

How this idiot got a job interview- but off he went, to an out-of-state Trucking company who put him up in a motel for orientation.

He never passed any of the testing and never completed the orientation.

It was his reasoning that the Trucking Company had treated him badly.  He retaliated by shitting all over his company paid motel room,

perhaps thinking that they would foot the bill.  And stuff.

The difficulty of my work is that sometimes other work overshadows mine.  Posts like the one linked actually help to place things in context/time to define reality as opposed to yellow journalism.  GIGO.

You just go ahead and eat your fill young lady, you're about to get

I was so so busy helping Biden with his Thanksgiving Day speech I forgot about the NYC Parade.  But I have this souvenir.

Uncle Joe gets the nod and a briefing; Covid gonna do us in he says waving that olive branch.  I'm gonna fix this, cause cutting a deal is what I do and Ima gonna do what I do.  I got this and all you gotta do is just listen to Uncle Joe and play nice and wait for the Affordable Care Act.

There, three complete sentences, Happy Thanksgiving!

As of Today 24 November, and the Emergency Use Authorization request on last Friday-

More Americans have died of Covid than did on 9-11-01.

Can Catholics distinguish between an olive branch and open genocide?

This just in:  The Treasury Dept. just this evening shit all over the Cares Act.

Still, no such thing as two olive branches.

Less about being prophetic and more about recidivism.

In response to Rudy Giulianni's meltdown this morning on national television,

it has been suggested that America confine their meltdowns to Three Mile Island.

Trade schools are overrun by the undereducated, and administered by the unrepentant.

I was teaching at a truck-driving school in the late 1980's when a student enrolled and was promptly named 'McStuff'.  He finished his attempts

at speaking complete sentences with 'and stuff'.  Every time he spoke, and every subject he spoke about was finished with 'and stuff'.  He was

a case example of a couch potato.  Trump reminded me so much of him I wrote the story after he was elected in 2016.

I am of the moral opinion that washing out students in Truck Driving School that clearly lack the mental capability to perform a safety sensitive

job is the right thing to do, the school understood that and was more than happy to assign these students to me.  And stuff.

I tortured this idiot mercilessly.  On an on, in the classroom and in the truck, which he wasn't allowed to leave the parking lot with.  I took away his

So this gives you a pretty good example of what I expect, and what I have anticipated from Trump through January.

If I had a dime for all the politicians who are saying 'let the election process and legal process play out' -  before they go back to gerrymandering...

Miguel Díaz-Canel

Today's news (?)      The airlines are now allowed to fly empty 737 Max's.

                                 Someone thinks Foreign Policy is salvageable.

                                 Others think Rudy Giulianni is an important factor in elections.    I think he's milking Trump.

                                  There is a dialogue pending, and as much fun as writing off the cuff is... I'll post before dinner.

                                  Ant-eater. The existence of this predator demonstrates that thinking 71% of the time,

                                  as ants do, won't prevent you from being eaten. Thinking less than that, as humans

                                  do, will almost guarantee it.

                             I really don't give one iota about Langley.

Well, today was not PrimeDay.  How did that turn out anyway?

The results were widely quashed in the press.

Beige Friday, anyone?

On 9 December 2016, the National Assembly impeached Park on charges related to influence peddling by her top aide, Choi Soon-sil.[4] Then-Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn assumed her powers and duties as Acting President as a result.[5] The Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment by a unanimous 8–0 ruling on 10 March 2017, thereby removing Park from office.[6] On 6 April 2018, South Korean courts sentenced her to 24 years in prison which was later increased to 25 years.[7][8] Park is currently imprisoned at Seoul Detention Center.[9] In 2018, two separate criminal cases resulted in an increase of seven years in her prison sentence. She was found guilty of illegally taking off-the-book funds from the National Intelligence Service and given a five year prison sentence, and also found guilty of illegally interfering in the Saenuri Party primaries in the 2016 South Korean legislative election, for which she was sentenced to two more years in prison.[10]             -wiki

The amount of spending in the US budget would benefit immensely

by simply eliminating the word - hegemony.

Offer void at all public libraries, State Department Soirees, Greek Philosophical Debates, Presidential debates, faux Christian prayer meetings, non-Christian prayer meetings, unspecified Synagogues, vice-presidential hunting trips, and most classified briefings.

Do you need someone with a journalism degree to explain this to you?

It becomes tedious having to explain nearly seventy year old technology, this was released in the mid '70's, so there is actually an entire generation whom believe

that perhaps Steve Jobs and Apple's IPhone is the leading technology.

The difficulties replacing cheerleaders these days.

Perhaps it is not a question of the former Director of the CIA preparing for a second term,

but rather that anyone with five years in the Army was put in charge of either the CIA or

the State Department in the first place.

Ich habe elf Präsidentschaften erlebt und noch nie Menschen auf der Straße tanzen sehen.  Hat es 71 Jahre gedauert, bis der Faschismus auferstanden ist, oder 75 Jahre, bis er wieder besiegt wurde?

I have lived through eleven presidencies and never seen people dancing in the streets.  Did it take 71 years for fascism to rise or 75 years for it to be defeated again?

Please please please pretty please with kosher sugar on top, don't tell Trump...

The reason pre-election day ballots of all kinds are not counted until the polls

close in most states is to prevent the results being communicated beforehand.

The Pennsylvania Legislature got that, whether or not the Supreme Court

of the United States can grasp the concept is another matter.

Well, he got the press dancing.
