[Feliz Cinco de Mayo compadres! And re Corona beer about which you've all heard the story? You haven't? Well, they had a big international beer judging competition in Munich to which all the major and wannabe brewers sent their various brews for judging and receiving the prestigious awards. The Corona folks also sent their finest. A couple of weeks passed and when the award ceremonies were over, the Corona folks had heard nothing, not even an email acknowledging their entry. So they inquired, and the next day they got a reply from a German vet in Munich that read 'I was forwarded the specimen you submitted, and am sorry to inform you that your horse has diabetes.' ;-) gjr]

FORMER VIRGINIA BLACK-FACERS STILL DON’T GET CIVIL RIGHTS
[VA State Attorney General] Herring’s office responded with this imbecilic statement:
“Donald Trump and Bill Barr should focus on saving lives and ramping up testing, not teaming up with conservative activists to undermine effective public health measures that are slowing the spread of covid-19 and saving lives in Virginia and around the country.”
It’s not the job of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division to “ramp up testing” for the Wuhan coronavirus. The Civil Rights Division’s job is to protect against unlawful discrimination, including unlawful discrimination against the right to freedom of religious worship.
It’s not surprising that Herring, who once got his kicks mocking African-Americans, fails to understand the role of the Civil Rights Division. Nor is it unsurprising that he has little regard for the rights of modern America’s most unfashionable minority group — people who take religion very seriously.
Instead of taking the mindless way out — attacking President Trump and incanting the words “saving lives” — Herring should explain how anyone’s life is endangered by a religious service for sixteen people in a sanctuary that holds 225.
When he’s finished trying to explain that, Herring should tell us why a meeting of sixteen lawyers in a conference room — an event Virginia permits — doesn’t put lives at the same or greater risk.

“Jeez louise man, you’re starting to drive me towards the conclusion that no one knows what they are talking about one way or the other. My trust in authority is being joggled.”
Funny, I went to bed last night thinking about our trust of authority….our trust in our institutions. Must have been triggered by an buried excellent article eviscerating FBI Director Wray from few days ago. Nothing has changed. The priority of the institution is first and foremost to protect and perpetuate the institution. I woke up this morning reading a headline (seemingly out of the Blue) that the FBI released a statement defending and praising Wray.
Now, let’s cut to the chase. I literally asked myself, “What does loss of trust mean to ME, mean for our country?” What does loss of faith and trust to do the right thing or even do something with competency mean for the institutions themselves?” But, what does that mean for me and my worldview? Yes, all people make mistakes and sometimes frequently wrong, so I am not asking the trust factor questions with perfection or super duper consistent standards in mind. If we cannot trust our FBI, our top cops, who can we trust?
Anyway, you nailed it with “My trust in authority is being joggled”
You cann’t even trust experts…..like the ones ho fought us Common Core and Project 1619.

It might be simply that there are long term cycles in trust relationships. It’s the sort of thing that the West has excelled in and allows things like banking and long distance trade.
I wonder when the country actually might have been a nation. Perhaps some time after American Civil War 1.0, you can see it in the styles in the early 20th century. Patriotism without irony. No doubt the lack of immigration (near zero in the 1930’s) allowed everyone to settle down and construct social glue.
Something appears to have happened in the 1960’s, maybe partly due to the newly artificial schism between young and old. I expect that extending high school for 4-8 more years rather than beginning adult life at 16 or so might have had something to do with it. Fast forward and ya got yer La Razans and yer feminists and yer pentecostals and yer mass immigration and yer Blue Mob and yer NRA. It’ll probably take a war or the Yellowstone Caldera to produce a nation again. In the meantime, we can pretend that voting will paper over it all.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Joe Biden’s advantage over President Donald Trump in popular support has eroded in recent weeks as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee struggles for visibility with voters during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
The opinion poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday found that 43% of registered voters said they would support Biden in the Nov. 3 presidential election, while 41% said they would back Trump.
Biden led by 6 percentage points in a similar poll last week and by 8 points in a poll that ran April 15 to 21.

Here you go with the list:
A deluge of women made their accusations public following the October 2016 release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, in which Trump was recorded boasting about grabbing women’s genitals in 2005. Some others made their stories public months before the tape’s release, and still others came forward in the months following.
Trump has broadly dismissed the allegations, which include ogling, harassment, groping, and rape, as “fabricated” and politically motivated accounts pushed by the media and his political opponents. He promised to sue all of his accusers during the 2016 election. In some cases, Trump and his lawyer have suggested that he didn’t engage in alleged behavior with certain women because they weren’t attractive enough for him to be interested in.
“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” the Republican nominee said during a 2016 rally. “Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”
The president said these “false allegations” against him were made by “women who got paid a lot of money to make up stories about me.” And then alleged that the “mainstream media” refused to report on evidence that the accusations were made up.
