I don’t recall if we talked about this when it came up at the end of August, and I missed this article in the New Yorker even though I have a subscription, but there’s a story about Jessica Krug, an academic from a Jewish family in Kansas City who made a name for herself in Black studies, but who basically made up who she is out of whole cloth. She started out as partly of Algerian descent but then morphed into Black/Latinx descent.
The article also includes a bit about an African American, H.G. “Hache” Carrillo, who died of COVID-19 earlier this year. He had promoted himself as Cuban-American, but it turned out he was from Detroit, his parents were from Detroit and his real name was Herman Glenn Carroll. Not even his husband knew. And of course there’s a mention of the woman formerly known as Rachel Dolezal.
The article ends with:
These things are known but rarely acknowledged in such mixed company. There may be a shift in the air, though. The unravelling of Krug’s charade began with a whisper network of sorts, as so many of these things do. The whispering continues. I am aware of at least one scholar, known for playing with the color line, who quietly modified her institutional bio recently. The self-description now specifies “white.”
My parents told me the same story that Elizabeth Warren was told about Native American ancestry, which makes sense, as their parents, both sides, were born in Oklahoma. 23andMe (plus genealogical research) told me my ancestors, insofar as they can be traced, are as painfully white and northwestern European as can be. If there’s anything unusual, it’s that for the family lines that can be traced out, they all immigrated to the USA before the Revolutionary War. Outside of that, they were, for the most part, poor white people with no land, thus nothing to keep them tied down, and moving at least once every generation.
I do not understand people like Jessica Krug. To me it would be exhausting to keep up with that kind of a lie.
This is great. Republicans are desperate to convince their voters to mail in their ballots, and last night Trump again insisted to a massive audience that mailed in ballots are fraudulent.

Thanks to NVIDIA engineers, our Folding@home GPU cores—based on the open source OpenMM toolkit—are now CUDA-enabled, allowing you to run GPU projects significantly faster. Typical GPUs will see 15-30% speedups on most Folding@home projects, drastically increasing both science throughput and points per day (PPD) these GPUs will generate.

hi
Governor Pete Ricketts and state Secretary of State Bob Evnan put out a warning today about ballot harvesting.
Collecting ballots from others and delivering them is legal in Nebraska. What they claim they are concerned about are people turning over ballots to people they do not know, and the ballot not being delivered.
Governor Ricketts also complained about mail voting, but not in Nebraska, just other states. He claims he is concerned about forging postmarks in states where ballots will be accepted after the election provided they are postmarked before the polls close. (To be very clear, forging postmarks to get in late ballots is a bullshyte claim.)
He says of course our state’s mail voting is secure though.
Mail ballots and absentee ballots in Nebraska must be received by close of business on Election Day. Ballots received afterward are void regardless of the postmark.

Child cases rose again. By age the most cases are 20-29, then 10-19. Women are 2/3. Cumulative positivity rate is 6.1% over a total number of 14,052 tests. (The population of the Panhandle is 82,962, spread out over 14,180 square miles.)

A Sarpy County man suspected of identifying himself as a U.S. marshal at various locations in the Omaha area was arrested Wednesday by actual U.S. Marshals.
Jeffrey Thomas Ostdiek, 55, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Metro Area Fugitive Task Force about 6:30 a.m. at a hotel in northwest Omaha.
Over the past several weeks, he’s suspected of misidentifying himself to the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office; at a local spa, where he requested information on an employee; at another local business, where he appeared in person and harassed employees over the course of several days, claiming there was a federal case against the company; and at a private home, where he knocked on the door and turned the door handle, attempting to gain entry, according to a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
Deputies with the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office advised the homeowner to get a protection order against Ostdiek.
On Sept. 18, Omaha police issued a “Ban and Bar” trespass notice to the man, which he signed with the words “The United States Marshal Jeffrey Thomas Ostdiek.”
Ostdiek was booked into the Douglas County Jail and is awaiting federal court proceedings.

The big criminal trial going on now in our area involves a man who hit a twelve-year old boy in a crosswalk in Alliance, sending him to the hospital for the better part of a year with multiple injuries including a shattered pelvis.
The man was driving 91 miles per hour, and hit his brakes just before hitting the boy.
The case took a twist when one of the witnesses, another man in a car, said he jumped out to help the boy and saw the accident. Several other people also assisted.
A business’s CCTV camera two blocks before the accident showed he was actually street racing the man who hit the boy. He went from being a prosecution witness against the man who hit the boy into an accomplice, and is now on trial for aiding and abetting 2nd degree felony assault.

Blue lights shone brightly from multiple houses in the neighborhood at 42nd Street and County Road 20 on Tuesday night as Scottsbluff police officers, sheriff’s department and a couple state patrolmen drove past guided by a giant American flag, also lined with blue lights.
Community members in the area decided to put together a little honor drive-by parade to show their support for the blue. It was organized by Bob and Barbara Goldman along with Sandy Gibson.
Gibson said she and Barbara got to talking, and they decided they wanted to somehow show their support for the police. Living in a neighborhood of elderly individuals and young families, they appreciate the feeling of safety the police officers provide.
“For security, you know. We just want to feel safer,” Gibson said. “There’s several of us who’ve lived out here for a lot of years … they go by and we just know they’re around.”

This is the same place there was a swarm a few weeks ago. At that time the swarm of quakes were smaller in magnitude, though. Here, at least 6 are over M4 and over 30 are over M3 in the past few hours:
Image: Latest-Earthquakes-1-Oct2020-0228-PT.jpg
The thin read line at the bottom of the image working its way to the northwest is the approximate location of the northern terminus of the East Pacific Rise. Remember, all that part of Imperial county is sedimentation, mostly from the Colorado river carving out the Grand Canyon.
in the southern part of Imperial county the North American crust is very thin, down to 2 kilometers.
The San Andreas fault ends on the east side of the Salton Sea, just off the top of the image.
The San Andreas and East Pacific Rise are trying to connect, somewhere in the area of this swarm.

The Rapid City Journal has an article about state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R), who hit a pedestrian on a rural road when he was coming back from a GOP-sponsored event, then left the pedestrian to die.
Legal analysts note it is extremely difficult to prosecute anyone in South Dakota for killing or maiming a pedestrian, due to archaic laws which do not exist elsewhere in the nation.
The driver has to be shown to have been influenced by drugs or alcohol, or “obviously reckless” to obtain a conviction. Additionally, in civil suits against drivers, South Dakota has the only state law on the books requiring jurors to consider “contributory negligence” by a pedestrian.
Although the AG called 911 and the county sheriff came out and they searched for an alleged deer he hit, they were searching in an area half a mile away from where the man was left to die. He was not discovered until the next day.
The AG submitted to a blood test 24 hours after the wreck, but it is unlikely that would detect alcohol after such a long period. There were no other witnesses, so no one can say he was driving recklessly.

Letter in the Lincoln Journal-Star:
I was born and raised in the Nebraska Panhandle and spent my college years in Lincoln, and so while I politically diverge from Sen. Ben Sasse, I find that I identify with the character and ethics that he writes about in books and tweets and editorials.
The way I was raised, though, you don’t just talk about values. You live them. So many times, Senator Sasse has rightly called out President Trump for his bad behavior. Despite that clear divide, Senator Sasse has wielded exactly none of his power in trying to hold that behavior to account.
Now, we see a blatantly hypocritical attempt to pack the Supreme Court in the days leading up to an election, four years after Sasse stood by as the Senate delayed a vote by several months in order to replace Justice Scalia with a conservative.
Sasse has proven once again that he is, as we would say on the farm, all talk.
Van Jensen, Atlanta, Georgia
Well, Mr. Jensen, the only other choice we have here is the Democratic candidate accused of sexual harassment (suggesting gang rape) of his female staffer from whom the state party has withdrawn all support, and Gene Siadek for the Libertarian Party.
I’ve bounced back-and-forth on who to vote for (or leave Senate blank). Several people here suggested holding my nose and voting for Democrat Chris Janicek, before I got the E-mail from him saying I was everything wrong with the Democratic Party. It was also suggested a vote for Mr. Siadek would be a vote thrown away (because third party).
It is unlikely Sen. Sasse will be defeated after those allegations came out.
If my principles for standing up for equal treatment of women mean anything, I can’t vote for someone like that. I just can’t.
I can’t vote for Sen. Sasse either, since he’s firmly ensconced in Trump’s ample backside with Sens. Graham and Cruz.
That leaves me a choice of Mr. Siadek, who is actually campaigning more than the other two candidates put together across the state.
There is much about the Libertarian Party platform with which I disagree, but some parts parallel that of the Democrats. Mr. Siadek didn’t support a sham Senate trial for Trump’s impeachment, and he is not accused of being a harasser of women.
After much thought on this subject, I’m going to have to split my ticket on this one and go with the Libertarian for US Senate.

DHS is telling local law enforcement to treat right wing domestic terrorist with kid gloves and to taint the potential jury pool with nonsensical and false claims about this terrorist supposedly being chased before he opened fire.
The Rittenhouse talking points also say, “Kyle was seen being chased and attacked by rioters before allegedly shooting three of them, killing two.”
“Subsequent video has emerged reportedly showing that there were ‘multiple gunmen’ involved, which would lend more credence to the self-defense claims.”
The document instructs officials, if they are asked about Rittenhouse, to say they are not going to comment on an ongoing investigation and to say that “what I will say is that Rittenhouse, just like everyone else in America, is innocent until proven guilty and deserves a fair trial based on all the facts, not just the ones that support a certain narrative. This is why we try the accused in the court of law, not the star chamber of public opinion.”
This is unprecedented interference in ongoing investigations. Check that. This is what Trumpworld has been doing since they entered office. They’re putting the entire weight of the DOJ in favor of right wing domestic terrorists and screwing everyone else all while protecting Trumpworld from consequences of his criminal acts.
to see what the problem with the electorate is, take just two minutes and read today’s electoral-vote.com about Frank luntz’s debate focus group (undecideds) and their reactions.

The Slave-owning Founders specified that the Executive branch of government was to be headed by an elected monarch since at that time they didn’t have anything better to work with — it was monarchs, monarchs as far as the eye could see back in 1776. They gave the President, once elected, wide-ranging and unconstrained powers over things like arbitrary pardons and Judiciary appointments, powers which no other modern democracy permits a single individual to exercise to such an extent.
It’s telling that the honorific used to address the US President was “Your Excellency” for the longest time.

Oldest living Nebraskan to celebrate 114th birthday in Omaha (Omaha World-Herald)
The oldest living person in Nebraska history continues to set records.
Thelma Sutcliffe, born Oct. 1, 1906, in what then was Benson, Nebraska, is the fourth-oldest living American and the 11th-oldest person on the planet, according to the Gerontology Research Group.
E.A. Kral of Wilber, Nebraska, who keeps track of age records, said Thelma is the oldest Nebraskan on record.
Thelma plans to celebrate her 114th birthday today with a small party at Brighton Gardens, an assisted living facility near 92nd Street and Western Avenue in Omaha.
“She’s doing fine. She still enjoys visiting on the phone with friends and family,” said Hannah Astarita, the activities and volunteer coordinator for Brighton Gardens. “With COVID, we can’t do all the fun visits, (but) we’ll have flowers, balloons and cake.”
Thelma, born to August and Maude Liesche, was married in 1924 at age 17. She and her husband, Bill, who died in the early 1970s, had no children. Thelma worked for the War Department in the 1940s but otherwise didn’t work outside the home.

Her ninety-three year old nephew will not travel to Omaha for her birthday due to the pandemic.

1. A stimulus and corresponding lockdown.
2. Laying the groundwork for replacing DHS.
3. Having the FBI investigate white supremacist infiltration of police forces, and funding programs for reforming police departments and other needed programs.
4. Increasing US funding into a vaccine.
5. Going ofter the Trump family, and investigating the Republicans that took the trip to Russia.

re: #88 dangerman
to see what the problem with the electorate is, take just two minutes and read today’s electoral-vote.com about Frank luntz’s debate focus group (undecideds) and their reactions.
BTW, something else I gleaned from the comments at Balloon Juice: a warning about the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate. Given the fuckup Trump made of the 9/29 debate (frantic spin notwithstanding); look for the spinmeisters to get even more desperate to try to manipulate public opinion their way: most probably by ginning up bogus “focus groups” and “public opinion” putting VP Pence forward as some sort of “voice of reason”/”calming influence” - and of course, (probably politely and respectfully) painting Kamala Harris as the second coming of Rosa Luxemburg.
Now of course, it really is a sign of *desperation* when you have to even think about relying on MIKE FUCKING PENCE to revive your campaign (or at least stanch the bleeding): but as the commenter pointed out, the aim isn’t so much to sway any votes, but to provide Trump voters with an excuse to justify voting for an incompetent insane buffoon: and “Pence is such a nice calm guy” (nonstop lying/dissembling/excuse-mongering, etc. aside) may be seen as the means to that end.
Hope Kamala is well-prepared.

The mistake was giving the Reaganites and their batshit views on government the keys to the car. Then again the wheels for that got moving when they nominated Goldwater in ‘64.

“Trump is my President-for-Life” (With the right to name his successor) would be a much more realistic approach…
A small thing but telling in terms of Trump’s handle on the Covid-19 pandemic — he vowed to vaccinate 200,000 people a day, which sounds like a large number but equals 73 million per year at which pace you need almost five years to vaccinate everyone.

re: #181 Belafon
It’s same thing where he claimed that he’d get to 1 million tests. We got there eventually, but the slow pace meant that it was a meaningless step since we needed far more than that to contain spread. He’s always running behind the curve. It’s as though the GOP doesn’t know or care about basic math and public health principles.
200,000k a day is a drop in the bucket if you’re trying to get to herd immunity levels of 50% minimum, let alone the more likely 70% or above.
You’d need to get 500,000 a day vaccinated to get to above 50% in a year. That’s a scale not seen since the polio vaccination effort days.

re: #130 Jay C
BTW, something else I gleaned from the comments at Balloon Juice: a warning about the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate. Given the fuckup Trump made of the 9/29 debate (frantic spin notwithstanding); look for the spinmeisters to get even more desperate to try to manipulate public opinion their way: most probably by ginning up bogus “focus groups” and “public opinion” putting VP Pence forward as some sort of “voice of reason”/”calming influence” - and of course, (probably politely and respectfully) painting Kamala Harris as the second coming of Rosa Luxemburg.
Now of course, it really is a sign of *desperation* when you have to even think about relying on MIKE FUCKING PENCE to revive your campaign (or at least stanch the bleeding): but as the commenter pointed out, the aim isn’t so much to sway any votes, but to provide Trump voters with an excuse to justify voting for an incompetent insane buffoon: and “Pence is such a nice calm guy” (nonstop lying/dissembling/excuse-mongering, etc. aside) may be seen as the means to that end.
Hope Kamala is well-prepared.

Yeah: the thing that struck me about that chart as well was the distribution as number of EVs (which, as we all have had sadly drummed into our heads over the last four years are the only “votes” that really matter): it looks like they are not just predicting a win for Team Dem, but (Trump’s ravings aside) an unequivocal one: I’d WAG it as 340+ EV - i.e. as good as Obama did in his races - hopefully, there will be some “coattail” effect as well.

This follows similar directives to portray peaceful protesters as anything but.
Let me repeat.
DHS is telling local law enforcement to treat right wing domestic terrorist with kid gloves and to taint the potential jury pool with nonsensical and false claims about this terrorist supposedly being chased before he opened fire.
This is unprecedented interference in ongoing investigations. Check that. This is what Trumpworld has been doing since they entered office. They’re putting the entire weight of the DOJ in favor of right wing domestic terrorists and screwing everyone else all while protecting Trumpworld from consequences of his criminal acts.
So does Michael Forest Reinoehl have any family who can sue the government for his murder by federal authorities in Portland? The DOJ policy seems to be racists get a pass and full support, while those who oppose fascism are fair game and do not deserve a trial.

Because of his morality, Carter was too hesitant to order the military into situations where casualties were likely. Sometimes it’s necessary.
Bush was more willing to do so but was at least troubled by the deaths. But not enough to stop them. His bloodthirsty VP had control.
Obama understood the necessity in certain situations but I suspect he’ll always feel some sense of guilt for lives lost, even when necessary. He understands the sacrifices made.
Trump doesn’t give a shit about the losers or suckers who die. Or anyone who isn’t him.

They knew what he is. But they cared more about their asshole judges, their tax cuts, & beating HRC. That’s why we are where we are. We all saw Trump declare he liked military members who didn’t get captured. We all saw him mock a disabled reporter. We all saw him refer to a judge judging his “university” as a Mexican. We all saw him talk about wanting to lock Clinton up. We all saw him deny Obama was American. None of that mattered to these people and now Trump has set our country back years and will leave his successor a failed economy, a pandemic, & a weakened US.

30 years of right wing brainwashing is going to be hard to overcome.
And it’ll never start until the likes of Fox News disappears - after being shown as a propaganda outlet.
This is the kind of thing that we need to pay attention to; start thinking long-term, like the Evil Plutocrats. They painstakingly constructed an alternative reality, and coaxed older smalltown white men into it by reassuring them that their problems were all the fault of brown people/judges/college professors/smartypants scientists/homosexuals/uppity women.
It was a comforting narrative, and bringing people back to a place where they have to acknowledge their own faults & failures is going to be a near-impossible task.

“I don’t understand why he wouldn’t say, ‘I denounce white supremacy. I’ve always denounced white supremacy,’”
Watching that part of the debate, it was ridiculously easy (especially if you read Mary Trump’s book and @TheRealHoarse twitter feed) to understand why trump couldn’t even say that much - he can only think in the moment and, at that moment, it would have felt like “giving in” to both Biden and Chris Wallace. And of course his fragile narcissist ego couldn’t handle such a “loss.”
