More Armed ‘Boogaloo’ Terrorists To Storm North Carolina Capitol Because Haircuts And Civil War (Wonkette)

Said terrorists are doing that now. Unlike Michigan yesterday, North Carolina does not permit firearms on capitol property.

That said, the police are not moving in to arrest them.

They organised it through the closed Facebook group of the woman who deliberately broke quarantine after testing positive. Facebook will not remove the group, because Facebook supports fascists.

Media should stop treating these liars as anything but. It’s what they do. All the time. There’s no factual information at any of these dog and pony shows. It’s Trump spewing nonsense (or spewing via his spokeshacks) and the media dutifully repeating it. Even when they try fact checking, it’s only after they report Trump’s lies.

We know this wasn’t manmade or originated in the Wuhan lab. That’s Trump spewing conspiracy theories originating in the right wing fever swamps.

This entirely defeats the purpose of wearing a mask, while the reverend here unwittingly perpetuates racist stereotypes. (On the other hand, there probably aren’t good answers to racist stereotypes, because they are not going to go away today.)

KWQC-TV (NBC, Davenport, Iowa)

Local group asks you to “tip your mask” to help prevent racial biases

EAST MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) - Since the CDC recommended everyone wears face masks when out in public and Governor J.B. Pritzker is mandating Illinois residents wear them starting May 1st, we will begin to see them more frequently. However, for some communities, that causes anxiety. The Village of a Thousand Elders is creating a safety initiative called “Tip Your Mask” to help prevent confusion and racial biases.

“Tip Your Mask” is in coordination with various police departments in Illinois. When you go into a store or building, you’re now asked to “tip your mask” by lowering it slightly so the business owner can see your face. After you tip, you should wash your hands or sanitize as soon as you can. Reverend Wonder Harris who founded the Village of A Thousand Elders explains, “if people were to commit a crime, they wouldn’t tip the mask because they’d be caught on camera.” He visited various local businesses in East Moline and said business owners’ agreed that tipping masks would ease their minds to know a customer is just inside to shop, and not commit a crime.

(more)

Sure, Reverend Harris, crime comes in all colours. But the overwhelming majority of people in a business aren’t there to commit a crime, and a business isn’t going to ask a white guy or gal to do this.

There are two conflicting stories out in the press:
1. Our intelligence community briefed NATO and Israel back in November about this virus.
2. The PDBs in January briefed the President about the virus.

So — is the first statement credible? That would suggest that the intelligence failed to pass information to the president for over a month. If the first statement is true, why would they not have approached the president at the same time that they reached out to allies? Why would they have waited so long?

Portugal is at 99. Canada is at 90. Germany is at 80. Norway is at 39. Iceland is at 29. Israel is at 26. Serbia at 21. Japan is at 3. New Zealand is at 4. Australia is at 4. South Korea is at 5.

The best you can say is that Trump has done a half assed job in the middle of the pack, but by ignoring the warnings from the experts for months, he went from having ability to follow the South Korea/Japan example, and turned us towards the Italy end of the spectrum.

I wonder how much of our rate can be attributed to lack of testing to confirm COVID-19 as a cause? Because as some have reported, there have been spikes in YTD deaths all over that don’t match up quite neatly with reported death tolls from COVID.

I may be wrong but I believe Japan is very much a big “serve the country first” society. I.E. if the Government tells them to do A,B,C and D, the people will do it without much fuss and no formal lockdown is needed.

Because it’s quackery, that’s why.

LINCOLN — The state has deleted a question about the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine from its TestNebraska online assessment for COVID-19.

The drug was touted by President Donald Trump as a possible treatment for the COVID-19, but more recently has been criticized by health officials as unproven and possibly dangerous.

Taylor Gage, a spokesman for Gov. Pete Ricketts, said Thursday night that the question was removed from the online questionnaire on Saturday. He did not say why the question, which asked whether a person was allergic to hydroxychloroquine, had been removed.

Ricketts had said that the question was included by the Utah companies behind testnebraska.com because, at the time, it was considered a possible treatment.

Using a little bit of high school calculus factoring current trends and a bottoming estimate I get a figure of 65,000 additional deaths by Aug 1. This would put the total to 130,000 deaths in the US before the school season begins again.

2. Then we are talking about in my estimation a massive uptick starting in September and full on pandemic by Nov 1. This is a long way from over. By the election we could be looking at 250,000 deaths.

The owner of Club Onyx told arriving officers that the establishment is a restaurant with entertainers and he is allowed to be open under the state’s executive order.

The Houston Police Department disagreed and said the club must shut down.

The club’s owner told Houston media outlet KTRK that he was not offering any lap dancing and the entertainers wore masks.

I’d argue it is the main factor but also a number of unprecedented factors that arise from it. Social isolation, nearly unprecedented unemployment, postponement of all elective medical procedures(this includes things like heart stents)

I am sure that once we tease it out most of the excess deaths will be attributable to covid19, but to say it is the only different factor ignores an awful lot of extraordinary things happening in response to covid19.

I like Warren, I think she’s a fantastic leader and she has a lot to offer the party.

That said, she needs to stay in the Senate. And it’s not about losing the seat, it’s about the fact that she needs to be what Bernie isn’t: A guiding influence who can nurture and prep the next gen of Senate Dems to take over in a few years. She kicks ass and takes names and that’s something she needs to pass on.

Plus, as much as I hate to say such things, she’s just too old for the job. If we assume Joe keeps his promise and stays a one-term president, she’d be 74 when she ran for the job as his successor in 2024. That would do a disservice to the party when it needs to be promoting younger talent rather than running the same stable of old warhorses every 4 years.

Yup

The threat is almost identical to one Paxton made two weeks ago, in which he warned that voting rights groups that encourage people to apply for absentee ballots to avoid coronavirus could face criminal sanctions.

Texas has among the strictest rules on absentee ballots of any state in the country. By law, voters in Texas may only request a mail ballot if they are over the age of 65, disabled, or absent from their county or confined in lockup during the voting period, but otherwise eligible to vote. Voting rights groups want the state to interpret “disabled” to include those who reasonably fear contracting coronavirus if they vote in a public place — something Paxton is fiercely resisting.

The entire thing was staged for effect and it was pretty obvious from the get-go. Not the one-on-one aspect of it, but the fact that it seemed like every time Mika set up a question, she’d take this shuddering deep breaths and almost sound like she was pleading with him as she’d ask her questions. The question would have nothing at all to do with the allegations themselves and she’d still act as though it was a courtroom drama where she’s asking him graphic questions about the “rape” itself.

Trump is also known for forcing everybody around him to sign an NDA, yet the media isn’t asking him to release any of his accusers or the women who’ve worked for him from those. Yet Mika made a big deal about the idea that Biden (a man who’s never been accused of such) might have hidden NDAs that would be hidden away in either the Senate records or his personal documents.

The question is what exactly has Japan done differently. They didn’t immediately lock down, they haven’t had aggressive testing, they had huge crowds at the cherry blossom festival just a few weeks ago, as far as I can see, they got lucky, or there are some other unknown factors.

They don’t hug or shake hands, they routinely wear masks, their “normal” social distance is greater than ours, and they treat governmental suggestions as having the force of law.

Really, of all the ways Biden could have treated the demands for a “statement,” today was probably about the best way he could have handled it. He avoided the spectacle of the expected presser by setting up the one-on-one with the Morning Joke crew, and then he preempted any theatrics there by releasing a written statement that is clear & concise. So that the end result was Mika looked like she was badgering him by repeating the same questions over and over again and refusing to accept the simple answers he was giving her.

Evening Lizardim from the fantastically beautiful wild north country. New numbers: 4553 new tested, now more than double our previous best effort before this week, up to 74829; 594 new positives, up to 5730 (now 1% of Minnesota’s population is or has been positive according to the official tests); 28 dead, up to 371. All high numbers, but that’s just it: We’re beginning the grim work of catching up to the Grim Reaper. I can’t wait for the day when the number of tested goes up and the number of positives goes down, indicating we’re finally reaching equilibrium with testing the symptomatic and the at-risk.

In other news, I’ve officially started working on Mrs. Fish’s 1979 Lincoln again today, pulling out the old radiator (again) and preparing to drop in a new one… after back-flushing the engine block. I suspect that my previous cleaning efforts merely dislodged stuff that was otherwise not blocking anything and caused it to become blocking. It’s as good a theory as I’ve got, as I doubt it would’ve ran well for 3+ years if it was overheating the whole time. How go things among the lizardfolk on this warm and pleasant Friday?

He asked her in response how she expects that to happen, and she ends up being the one who looks blindsided as she’s like “well appoint someone or assemble a committee or something.” She seemed to expect an outright denial and instead got caught basically showing her ignorance of just how monstrous a task it would be to hunt down a needle in a haystack the size of a Saturn V.

Is this Cannibalism Day on LGF? Mind you, I’m not making a blanket condemnaton, but you’ve got to be careful with brains, brain stems, and spinal canal.

My supervisor: “Start showing up earlier so your co-worker can clock out on-time/early because we can’t afford people clocking more than their allotted hours.”

Also my supervisor: “Clock in 10 minutes late tonight because you’re almost over your 40 hours this week from clocking in early every night.”

Bonus round: Company policy is any clock-ins later than 6 minutes past the start of shift count as an “unexcused absence” and get counted against your attendance record.

Again, the joys of being counted as “essential.”

Am I the only one thinking…

But that poor bird is dying! Can something be done, and if not would you please give it the best loving life it can have for the rest of it’s time and stop bickering about money for fucks sake?!

I thought it had died already.

The one in the Monty Python sketch was, not this particular one, unless I missed something in the read.

Scythe, not a halberd. Halberds have a spike at the tip and an edged blade on one side of the shaft.

that’s right! i couldn’t think of the right word, but knew it wasn’t a sickle.

This was out in BC, right? If so, I read it last week and kept thinking just what you said, but the article ended saying it had died. I was sad.

31 days. damn. if I’m not starting to show improvement after 7, it’s probably time for my siblings to make sure they know what all the keys on the ring are for.

Hang in there. Most people just get sick. Some really sick. But most recover without having to ever go to the hospital.

Can anyone explain to me why Mike Flynn appears to be the newest cause celebre on the leftist side of the political spectrum? Along with fingers pointed at the FBI and “where did the probe start?”

Far-right has conned the far-left into believing that Flynn is a victim of the “deep state” at the FBI, who the far-left think are one of the greatest evils in the federal government.

Either he was just in the hospital for whatever, or they found a Kim Jong-Dave.

On this day in 1925, Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter was born. He was the second American to orbit the Earth. He also served as an aquanaut, spending 30 days in 1965 living and working in a sea-floor habitat 205 feet below the surface. pic.twitter.com/DgABDDjMnZ

re: #174 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Lots of math.

You can map an image from one surface to a different surface.

Clever company, but without computers could not be anywhere near as exacting, as there are too many calculations for just a human to do.

Anamorphic art is older than you think.

re: #183 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

The head gaskets were my original thought, so I’m going to test everything, including them. If it’s head gaskets, I’m going to need help; it’s plenty open in there, but there’s still SO MUCH STUFF to get off the top, and the exhaust is as rusty as you can imagine. And rusty parts and I do NOT get along.

Six-pack of large cans of Blaster and go at it.
