Re: “Hoping to escape coronavirus, city dwellers are fleeing to California’s deserts and mountains“
No shit. And they are coming to the deserts and mountains to stock up on supplies and raid our good neighborly open space and crowd up our open spaces! Been reading reports that hundreds have crowded into narrow canyons in State Parks, forming long lines on trails, and it’s like the INVASION OF THE ELITES. Definitely defeats the purpose of social isolation and avoiding groups of more than ten people. 700,000visitors have shown up at the South Yuba, using our precious TP, the greedy bastards.
Go back to your urban jungles. This is MAGA Country. Sting ‘em up.
-Mentioned yesterday about an acquaintance that was saying an area was rationing gas as a not-so-subtle reminder to Shelter in Place. They inherited two houses full of furniture in S. Cal in the Santa Barbara area and were hauling the stuff to their new office out of state. I do not know where exactly they were rationing gas. In California. I did not reply or ask. I know they live in the San Bernardino mountains around the Big Bear area and maybe the gas rationing was happening there or closer to the S. Cal state line in the desert. Stay put people, no escaping Hotel California

“Nevertheless, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., slammed the video, and suggested that the NRA was urging gun-owners to avoid stockpiling food and other resources. In the video, Whiting argued that stockpiling only food alone was not sufficient.
“Mainstream gun owners have left the NRA, so now they’re reduced to telling people to stockpile assault weapons, instead of food, to get ready for the coming Coronavirus civil war,” Murphy tweeted. “So sickening.”
So LIBS have thugs to protect in these tough times.

Thanks Trump!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.

MW@1:57 Another ‘just so’ story from the TDS leftists infesting the neighborhood. Never mind that the CDC itself flatly stated that the loss of the position had no effect and also never mind that the President is extremely unlikely to have been involved in a personnel decision on that level. All that matters to our resident lunatics is blaming everything and anything on Trump. What idiots.

Headline reads: ‘Americans Drop Kale and Quinoa to Lock Down With Chips and Oreos’
My, my. Everything is being turned on it’s head. Even in panic buying where shelves are emptying out, most of the “green aisles” are something, not fit for human consumption.
If you are starving to death and the only thing left to eat is kale, here is a little helpful hint. If you add a bit of coconut oil (or any oil you have hardly) to the pan as you are cooking kale, the kale is much easier to scoop into the garbage.
Yep, kale and ‘healthy’ food without refined sugar is another causality of the Great Hunkering Down of 2020.LikeLike

They should have kept him in the closet –
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was mocked on Monday after the gaffe-prone 2020 Democratic front-runner appeared to lose his train of thought when his teleprompter malfunctioned during remarks on the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden’s remarks, livestreamed from a studio set up in his home, began with his touching his face despite ongoing warnings not to do that during the coronavirus pandemic. His remarks were also short compared with the president’s near-daily coronavirus briefings, lasting less than 15 minutes in total, and featured a clear teleprompter issue that became a social media punchline.
The former vice president was detailing his plan to fight the coronavirus crisis, but appeared to lose track of his place on the teleprompter. Biden signaled to his staff that there was something wrong, before going off on an awkward ad-lib.
“And, in addition to that, in addition to that we have to make sure that we, we are in a position that we are, well met me go the second thing, I’ve spoken enough on that,” Biden said before going on to speak about the aggressive action he would like Trump to take under the Defense Production Act.
“Joe Biden when the teleprompter stops working is a train wreck,” social media strategist Caleb Hull wrote.

Trump is very mad that he cannot feed his needy personality by holding rallies across the country every few days as he has been doing for the last 3 years. so he is using these press conferences as a way to keep the cameras trained on him. But the people watching just conclude that he’s a bumbling idiot. Now he is practicing the usual autocratic method of, oh, I don’t like what Dr Fauci says so I just won’t let him come on television anymore.

As something of a student of Soviet propaganda art, I’m seeing some well-known old graphics here. It’s as if some local Nazi group (I did see such a thing two decades ago at a gun show with a card table, a coupla guys with disreputable small beards they were tugging at) was using Der Stürmer artwork.
The difference is of course (and this is an essential difference), that these people aren’t in the shadows. Our local Blue Mob has a proud militant arm.
It would be amusing to watch these well-meaning folks get a lecture from a few bona fide ex-Soviet citizens. All the ones I’ve known could give them what-for but they wouldn’t believe a word of it.LikeLike

Looks like short round got caught trying to cheat the system –
EXCLUSIVE: A Federal Elections Commission complaint has been filed against former New York City mayor and 2020 presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg for an $18 million transfer from his defunct campaign to the Democratic National Committee.
At the core of the complaint is the tenuous distinction between Bloomberg’s personal finances and those of his presidential campaign. The complaint is unique because of the nature of Bloomberg’s self-funded campaign. He took no outside donations and maintained complete control over the campaign’s finances, and the complaint argues this weakens the legal distinctions normally found between campaign cash and a candidate’s personal wealth.
“Allowing these kinds of contributions is everything we’ve said no to in 40 years of campaign finance jurisprudence. Never has this been okay at the federal level.”

“Tara Reade, who came forward last year to accuse Biden have inappropriately touched her in the 1990s, revealed earlier this week during an interview on the podcast of New York City blogger Katie Halper that there was more to the story. According to Reade, while working as a staff assistant in Biden’s Senate office in 1993, she was asked by one of her colleagues to deliver a “gym bag” to the senator. When Reade caught up with Biden, she alleges, he pressed up against a wall and proceeded to kiss her.”LikeLike
