[Just happened to visit Nevada County Voices, an info website run by our favorite climate catastrophe czarina, Dr Anna Haynes.  It appears that since the passing of Russ Steele, RR remains as the sole active 'rightwing' website in these parts.  On her resourceful site we are properly relegated to the extreme right column that is off-page, so it will not surprise and offend the more sensitive eyes of her polite company visitors (a trigger warning pointer is provided).  I continue to note over the years that Dr Haynes' political spectrum remains one-winged.  Nowhere are her voluminous lists of left-leaning sites so identified.  I suppose all of those are like our self-proclaimed centrists Bob Crabb and George Boardman – politically vanilla, untinged and untrammeled by any shade of partisanship.  We are properly put in our place.  gjr]

    “EVROS, Greece — The farmers and pensioners wore black clothes and heavy boots, imitating Greece’s special forces, and trod along a rural road on a night patrol looking for migrants trying to cross the northern land border with Turkey. “We’ll get you next time!” they shouted at a small group of men who had made it over and fled.”

    Wow — Biden throws away his “moderate” status, endorses AOC’s Green New Deal, babbles that fossil fuel executives should be jailed, and plastic bags should be banned, and this is the thanks he gets.

    Of course, it’s Joe Biden…..he probably has no earthly idea what he’s endorsing or to whom he’s pandering!

    Thank you George about the demise of the the Republic, your error in thinking is the democracy claim. Mr. Trump* and his lackeys are leading us down the path of Facism or a Banana Republic. Court packing like Hugo Chavez, loyalty oaths like Germany in 1933 and trials without witnesses like Uncle Joe Stalin. If your kind can figure out how to rid ourselves of our most democratic institution, the lower house, your goal of a one party system may happen like Italy in the 20s. Word of advise in there are a whole lot of young folks who disagree with you. Wisdom to the few George is the Road to Perdition.

    They should check out Bloomberg’s body guards too –
    Nappen said, “He was arrested for the hollow point ammunition. Then they claimed he was transporting his handgun illegally. He had a permit to carry a handgun. The law … makes it clear that it’s illegal to transport unless you are licensed pursuant to chapter 58. And that is precisely what a handgun carry permit is.”
    He noted that the ammunition in Twyne’s possession, Hornady “Critical Duty” ammunition, was issued by his employer. Moreover, he pointed to the New Jersey State Police website, which shows that such ammo is not considered hollow-point ammunition in the state of New Jersey.

    GeorI can’t believe you continue to support our mentally ill President. Here’s the latest to confirm his narcissism:
    In the face of a global crisis, the president can’t stop making it about himself.
    “People are really surprised I understand this stuff,” Trump said during a press briefing at the CDC. “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”
    He doesn’t. In fact, he has disputed a report from World Health Organization scientists that put the death rate from the virus at 3.4%.
    “I think the 3.4% is really a false number,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday. “Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this.”
    And this:

    And this:
    In a meeting with health experts on Monday, Trump asked why doctors don’t just administer the flu vaccine to combat the virus.
    “But the same vaccine could not work?” he said. “You take a solid flu vaccine — you don’t think that would have an impact or much of an impact on corona?”
    It would not have an impact, the experts told him.
    And this:
    During Friday’s visit to the CDC, Trump bragged about having “beautiful” coronavirus testing kits, and bizarrely claimed they were as “perfect” as the phone call that got him impeached.

    Somehow I think he is not a bernie bro –
    While watching his home security cameras, Price noticed that his driveway was plowed. He also noticed that, in the immense wind, his American flag had been blown down for about an hour.
    “And, I really had given some thought to asking my boss if I could leave work and go fix my flag,” he noted. “And then, I get an alert on my phone – my security cameras – and it’s the delivery driver.”
    Price said that he watched 46-year-old Anthony Gagliardi trudge through approximately 30 yards of six to seven inches of snow, against the wind, and pull his propane hose from his truck.
    Price said Gagliardi immediately picked up the flag and dusted it off as his “first priority.”
    “You know, he could have walked by the flag. He could have done the delivery first, come back, and gotten it. Whatever. But, he immediately saw that flag and took the time to clean it off, put it up, make sure it was upright, and then went and did his delivery,” he said, adding that when he watched the tape, it reminded him of the iconic World War II scene.
    “So, I thought that was very motivating. Especially that day – I think it was the 19th – was the start of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Which, obviously, has that iconic raising [of] the American flag. So, I was seeing that all day long like at work and everything, and for my flag to hit the deck – and I’m a Marine – was kind of heartbreaking.”
    “But, you know, it was just kind of fitting on that day to watch someone – you know – pick up the flag and raise it,” he continued. “And, 75 years later, the respect for the flag that these Marines fought and died for – that millions of people fought and died for – exists even for [a] propane delivery driver on a really windy, snowy, day in Maine when no one was looking.”

    ““I think the best decision we have been given today is Bernie Sanders or Biden against our president,” Burgess said. “They have a stark difference in the vision of our country. One is going toward pro-American, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, and the other going Marxist, socialist, and anti-God, so it’s a good place to be.”
    Owens also praised President Trump for his efforts in making the American dream a possibility for all Americans. “Now that we have a president that has shown America within three years how an America-loving president should look like, they don’t know what to do next,” Owens said. “Democrats are like a wounded animal and they’re dangerous.”

    Glenn Frey’s dirty laundry song,” bubble headed bleach blondes ” line comes to mind for these 2 but ya they are on msnbc for a reason –
    The false inflation of Bloomberg’s wealth started when a journalist incorrectly tweeted that he could’ve used his $500 million in 2020 ad spending and “given each American $1 million and still have money left over.” Then, without anyone breaking out a calculator, the tweet ended up on MSNBC’s 11th Hour with Brian Williams, with both the host and The New York Times’ Mara Gay going along with it.
    “Somebody tweeted recently … with the money he spent he could’ve given every American a million dollars,” Gay said of Bloomberg on the show. “When I saw this on social media tonight, it kind of all became clear,” Williams said before reading the false tweet out loud. “Don’t tell us if you’re ahead of us on the math here,” Williams continued. Someone should’ve. “It’s true, it’s disturbing,” Gay continued. It is very much not the former.
    Let’s get one thing clear: Bloomberg’s spending on his failed presidential run could’ve been used to give every American about $1.50. He’d have to have $330 trillion to give every American the money that tweet promised.

    If we skip ahead a couple of centuries, from France to America, we can recall that in 2016, the old regime of Barack Obama came to a close, when would-be Queen Hillary was defeated by Donald of the Deplorables.
    Four years later, in 2020, Joe Biden, the crown prince in the Obama era—and a blue-blooded political royal for decades prior to that—is making his bid to regain the throne and restore the old kingdom.
    To put this another way, Biden would love to be, in effect, the Louis XVIII of America, the man who came back from exile and reclaimed power for the old regime.
    Indeed, just as the Bourbon kings of yore returned to their beloved Versailles palace, so Biden would love to come back into the White House, bringing with him all his Obama and Clinton friends. In fact, since Biden was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, he has a lot of old-guard friends going way back—all the way back to the McGovern-Carter era.

A scientist who worked with prominent disease research scientists wanted to warn people about what they were doing. They were creating terrible virus’ for which they had no cure. He did eventually publish an article in a local newspaper. Later a friend gave me the following pamphlet that scared her terribly. We’re hearing a lot of concern from the United Nations about earths over population. Reminds me of Svetlana Stalins book “Twenty Letters to a Friend,” that mentions how he used doctors to get rid of his enemies….last century. Same thing in Germany last century?
