From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Trump berates a female reporter after she pressed him on why he didn't warn Americans about the coronavirus crisis sooner" -- Good grief! It didn't matter that she was a female.. it was a stupid question at this stage of the news cycle.. Besides, what Trump should have asked HER was why she wasn't knocking on Biden's home hideaway and asking him why he and Ibama did not leave a better supply of medical equipment, and protective gear ... especially since they thought Hellary was going to win.

No wonder Shicago Mayor Lightfoot felt it was safer for her to get her hair "done" during the Covid-19 pandemic.. even though street thugs are not totally adhering to her " Mayoral farcial shelter at home law" there's less chance of dying from Covid-19 than than a gun shot.
 
---
Shicago...Los Angeles...Detroit...ST Louis...Cleveland...Memphis... why, you wonder, am I listing theses cities at this time and in this order..Well... they are all Democratic Party strongholds leadership wise, and they represent the 6 largest declines among our cities.. Unfortunately, those leaving are not causing any of the problems eviscerating these cities.. good people are getting out while they can.

Online headline: "Auto accidents drop by nearly half, according to insurance claims data" -- Hmmm have seen a number of Insurers reducing rates or issuing refunds to their clients... of course haven't read where MY insurance company has done such... May have to find new ones..
 
---
From the "Trump's America is stepping up to the plate" department - Online headline/story: "Shake Shack gets funding, to return paycheck protection loan * Shake Shack has laid off or furloughed hundreds of its employees and needed the assistance, its CEO Randy Garutti and its founder Danny Meyer said in a statement seen Monday. * But the company was able to get extra funding late last week through an “equity transaction” and decided to “immediately return" the $10 million paycheck protection loan it obtained through the CARES Act. * “we’re fortunate to now have access to capital that others do not. Until every restaurant that needs it has had the same opportunity to receive assistance, we’re returning ours." -- Taking bets that none of the Shake Shack family votes for Biden this fall!

I heard a hospital administrator telling Fox that he wished for a longer, more stringent "shelter at home" policy vs "getting back to work".. I bit my lip from responding since he couldn't hear me on TV .. but I wanted to tell him that if his policy was adopted, he'd soon lose his job, as most of the hospital cases would neither have the money nor insurance to pay for their service needs, and hospitals would have to cut back on non-essential employees...
 
---
Why DOES MSM-13 give Ibama, Biden, and the Democrats a pass on not having left Trump an inventory of supplies and equipment when they left office... especially since.they KNEW Hellary was going to win? This is no different than Clinton and Ibama leaving office with our military in dire needs.
 
---
Online headline: "Speaker Pelosi rips Trump as ‘weak leader,’ tells ‘Fox News Sunday’ he’s failed on coronavirus response" -- Hmmm...I tell you what, summing up Pelosi is easy... she lies.
 
---
From the "if you're still a Democrat, you are just sick" department - Online headline/story: "Obama AG Eric Holder giddy about 'opportunity' coronavirus presents to make 'permanent' changes * as Democratic governors throughout the country flex their political muscles to at the expense of constitutional rights, or when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to hold up the coronavirus relief package to stuff it full of Democratic priorities American voters don’t share. * For Democrats like former Attorney General Eric Holder, the coronavirus crisis is an opportunity to make changes to the American electoral system -- permanently." -- who'll join me in buying Prick Holder a one-way trip to Venezuela!

What a great scene Saturday afternoon.. VP Pence addressed the Class of 2020 graduation at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Safe social distancing was the order of the day, but our administration and military leaders figured out a way to honor the outstanding men and women of the Air Force Academy and their families....something the elitist at public and private colleges couldn't figure out. TRUMP-PENCE 2020!

From the "political profiling?" department - Online story: "Bill Cosby will not be walking out of prison anytime soon despite the recent uptick of offenders being granted early release due to the coronavirus. * Cosby is currently serving up to 10 years for sexual assault in a facility in Pennsylvania, and a state official tells Fox News that any speculation that Cosby will be able to serve time at home is false. * -- Hmmm.. Because he;s a sex offender... and 82 year-old sex offender? Michael Avenatti.. aged 49.. was released. Michael Cohen...53... was released. Joseph Williams.. aged 26.. was released because, at the time, he was eligible for bond, but didn't have the money to post it. However, he has a lengthy arrest history, with a total of 35 charges. Williams committed murder the day after released. Christopher Ransom, 28, and Jagger Freeman, 26, were charged with armed robbery in connection with the February 2019 shooting death of NYPD Detective Brian Simonsen. They appeared on a list of names obtained by ABC News that also included Viktoriya Nasyrova, 45, who was accused of trying to kill a woman in 2016 with a poisoned cheesecake... My bet is that Cosby is the only one of these prisoners who voted for Trump...

(Hey Columbus Council.. please "Skip" over this):
 
From the "welcome to Socialist rule" department - Online headline/story: "California city fills skate park with sand to deter rule-busting skateboarders * A popular skate park in Southern California has been filled with 37 tons of sand * The signs went up at Ralph's Skate Court in San Clemente after the city closed all parks April 1 to contain the spread of the virus. * “On April 1, we kind of let it play out to see if users would abide by the closure,” Samantha Wylie, the city’s parks manager, told the San Clemente Times. * “The sand was what other agencies were doing,” Wylie told the paper. “We’re doing what other parks have done to enforce that message of social distancing.” * She said the sand didn't cost the city any money and removing it won’t either." -- "didn't cost the city any money and removing it won't either"? Typical Socialist... it didn't cost HER any money.. it was taxpayer's money.. for sand, for transport, for labor.. both ways.. but there will be other costs removing it...such as damage to the concrete surfaces and what about sand in the drains. This is simply tyranny at it's worst.

You know...liberals must be driving Bill Clinton nuts asking for him to redefine words so they fit the liberal agenda... now they've gotten "Choice" limited to one facet...essential... It's the only way they can get Pro-Choice decisions to have or not an abortion to be non-elective so it's OK for Doctors to perform one when other elective surgical procedures must be delayed.

Go, Jacksonville! Beaches reopened!

From the "Br'er Trump's been throwed back into that briar patch by Br'er Donkey... again" department - Online story: " Expressing the worry that “panic porn” will cede any optimism about this crisis to President Trump, Maher complained about how news organizations have covered the pandemic, saying media should “calm down and treat us like adults.” * “Now that we’re starting to see some hope in all this, don’t hope-shame me,” Maher began. “You know the problem with nonstop gloom and doom is it gives Trump the chance to play the optimist. And optimists tend to win American elections.” -- Hmmm... sounds like we may be seeing Maher voting for Trump this fall...

Let's put a little perspective on the $2 Trillion dollar Covid-19 Relief Bill... An online story talks about the 15 richest people in the world...and how they've "lost" $700 Billion dollar during this pandemic... and now they are worth a collective value of $940 Billion. Even combined before the market slide, that's a 3rd LESS than  the Covid-19 Relief Bill!  These billionaires are the ones that Bernie and Creepy Joe and the other Socialist-Democrat presidential wannabes wanted to strip of their wealth and redistribute to buy votes for themselves. In fact, if you combined the these 15 richest billionaires with the other 2,080 other "lesser" billionaires their total worth was less than $10 Trillion dollars... a figure all the Socialist-Democrats promises for Free College, Medicare-for-All, and forgiveness of Student Loans would go through in less than 2 years, and leave all of their voters broke and hopeless.

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Non-essential business could result in citation * “Travel is confined to essential travel only,” Henderson said in the video Thursday, citing Gov. Brian Kemp’s shelter in place order, which currently extends through April 30. “We will have our public safety officers out this weekend and going forward asking the questions, asking what your essential business is, why you’re on the road. If your answer doesn’t meet some of the requirements of the governor’s order, you may be cited.” -- While being "smart" is essential, who is to say what's essential to one person may not be for another...our daughter and family are down from Atlanta for a birthday weekend my bride and I share.. It's the first time we've seen them "live" (thank heaven for Dace Time!) since we all celebrated our youngest grandson's 1st birthday at Lake Oconee the first weekend of March. This family gathering is ESSENTIAL for our mental health! I pity the police officer that writes up either of my sons-in-law based on what the Mayor or Governor consider essential.

Online headline: "New York state faces $6.1 billion budget hole next year" -- Well.. that'll probably be a piece-of (cheese)-cake" considering having to live with the @-HOLE they have living in their Governor's Mansion.

Columbus L-E guest commentary - Headline: "Capt. Crozier should be commended, not censured * BY D’JUAN WILCHER * CHICAGO TRIBUNE" -- Good grief.. if a Naval Captain had done this under Ibama's watch, the MSM-13 "Queens of Heart" would be yelling, "Off with his head!". It's not "doing the right thing" if you're not doing it the right way.. Now.. what part did this Captain have in allowing sailors to take shore leave and return infected?
 
---
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer commentary headline/story: "Republicans join Dems fighting Trump’s claim of ‘total authority’ * BY JOHN A. TURES * Donald Trump made a claim of “total authority” as president of the United States. He’s opposed not just by members of the Democratic Party, but also Republicans and constitutional law scholars." -- Good grief.. once again.. MSM-13 "journalists" have no clue on why President Trump is such an effective and good President.. leader...President Trump has awakened the "do nothing" governors to take responsibility for their states.. President Trump gave a 21st Century wrinkle to Tom Sawyer's "fence painting" episode, and now has spectators becoming doers.

Online story: " Illinois needs more than $40 billion in relief from the federal government because of the coronavirus pandemic — including $10 billion to help bail out its beleaguered pension system, according to a letter the Illinois Senate president sent to members of Congress. * The letter, sent this week by State Senator Don Harmon, also seeks a $15 billion grant to “stabilize the state’s budget,” $9.6 billion in direct aid to Illinois’s cities, $6 billion for the state’s unemployment insurance fund, and hardship money for hospitals and nursing homes, among other things. * “I realize I’ve asked for a lot, but this is an unprecedented situation,” Mr. Harmon, a Democrat," Wow! Illinois must believe that Covid-19 causes hallucinations! This is not a result of Covid-19... it's a result of Socialist-Democrat-Cov-IDIOCY... and running out of other people's money!

Congratulations to our Columbus State University Tennis Teams! Men's ranked #1 and Women's ranked #6 in final rankings.. it's a bit sad they couldn't win it on the courts, but it's still fantastic!
 
---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Columbus L-E "headLIE": "Inaction on loans adds uncertainty for small businesses" -- Inaction on loans? Good grief,, the Trump Administrations has processed $350 Billion worth of loans to 1.6 Million Small business Owners in 9 days! I'd call that pretty dang effective.. now, on the other hand, Queen Pelosi won't agree to get another $250 Billion approved... she is who the MSM-13 should be eviscerating!
 
---
Online story: "Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true." -- Hmmm... well, it looks like the reason backroom politics of the Democrats is such a disease has been discovered! What we Americans need is more political "deals" being made in "the sunlight" rather than the "shadows, and more "heat" applied by public discussion.
 
---
About the combination of hot humid weather and sunshine being a treatment.. cure for Covid-19.. I'm curious that no one has built a combination sauna, UV-Light tanning booth/room.

Online headline: "Stimulus cash is being sent to dead people. Their loved ones can probably keep it. * The U.S. government plans to allow heirs or spouses of dead people to keep the money, a source familiar with the matter said. A Treasury spokesperson declined to comment but said guidance on the matter is forthcoming." -- Whoa! I usually don't print reporters' names/employer, but in this case, I am: "NBC News SAHIL KAPUR AND JOSH LEDERMAN" because I think they should have to name their U.S. Treasury source to prove it's not "FAKE NEWS". They are claiming "someone said" the government is going to let dead people's families keep the money.. Obviously, these "journalist have never talked with a person's family about what the government does if they don't return a Social Security Check for a month that the receiver doesn't live through completely!

I tell you what.. if an investigation reveals... connects ... Wuhan Labs with the coronavirus being connected with the "wet markets" in Wuhan, then Dr Fauci needs to grilled in a Republican led Senate investigation about how his National Institutes of Health be investigated as to why it GAVE Wuhan Labs a $3.7 MILLION dollar GRANT to study viruses!
 
---
From the "who knew?" department - Online headline: "Bill and Melinda Gates have been storing food in their basement for years in anticipation of a pandemic" -- Wow! Who knew that the Gates were "preppers" ... wonder how many guns they have, too, because what f=good is it to be a "prepper" and not be able to protect your food?... Hypocrites!
 
---
From the "double dose of hypocrisy" department - Online headline: "Chris Cuomo can't be with wife while both have coronavirus: 'It's frustrating'" -- Yeah.. right.. he's probably in the dog house is why they have separate rooms.. but last week, they were frolicking together with more family members outside when they double-teamed a bicyclist who noticed them "not social distancing: in public..
 
---
From the "would someone please explain why releasing a prisoner from jail because of Covid-19 is a good plan" department - Online headline: "AP source: Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen being released from prison" -- Good grief.. there's a heck of a lot less chance a prisoner runs into an infected person in jail than under house-arrest in his home.. In jail, there are ways to control contacts that being in public cannot be controlled.
 
---
From the "stupidity" department - Online story: "Officials across the country are racing to provide coronavirus tests to diagnose infections and to identify recovered patients with antibodies that may help others battle COVID-19, the disease it causes. * But some COVID-19 antibody tests, including those being used by public health departments in Denver and Los Angeles and provided to urgent care centers in Maryland and North Carolina, were supplied by Chinese manufacturers that are not approved by China's Center for Medical Device Evaluation" -- Hmm.. not even "approved by China's Center for Medical Device Evaluation"? You think thunk these public officials in the US were DingBATs.. well, if you weren't, you need to be thinking that! Now, I'd like to know how the heck these unapproved by neither Chinese or American officials made it through US Customs to begin with.. well they probably came through Los Angeles.. that would explain the Garcetti-ism stupidity...
 
---
You know.. if Nancy Pelosi really loved our country, and wanted a signature project to add to the $250 Billion needed for the Small Business Payroll Protection Relief Plan, she should only ask for enough money to finish building the Southern Border Wall.
 
---
COMIC-CON has canceled it's July 23-26 convention in San Diego, CA because of Covid-19. I understand that it takes time to plan/prepare for events, but canceling over 3 months out seems suspect. One other thing that bothers me is the Convention Center is being used to house homeless people.. where's the concern for the homeless crammed in there sans social Social distancing?
 
---
From the "confirmation confirmed" department - Online headline: "Coronavirus antibody testing finds Bay Area infections may be 85 times higher than reported: researchers" -- Hmmm.."85% higher than reported" in Oakland/San Francisco! What I think we are learning... seeing... is that Covid-19 may actually be a mutation of liberalism...
 
---
Online story: "A total of seven women have come forward with accusations of inappropriate behavior, with three of them speaking out after former Vice President Joe Biden responded to the previous allegations in a video posted to Twitter Wednesday. * Sitting cross-legged in a leather seat, Biden didn’t offer an apology but addressed the “gestures of support and encouragement that I’ve made to women and some men that have made them uncomfortable.” --
 
---
Online headline: "Amy Klobuchar says misconduct allegation against Joe Biden 'has been investigated'" -- Hmmm ...Investigated? Not unless it has a public hearing with Republican Senators asking questions, too!
 
---
Online headline/story: "Schumer Defends Blocking Small Business Aid * Schumer also pushed back on claims that Democrats were blocking funding, saying the claims weren't true and the program should be funded. He said Democrats were delaying the aid because they want to expand funding to include more priorities." -- "Oh... so blocking it so more Democratic Party priorities (versus American ones) can unnecessarily be funded is worth delaying small business recovery? If Schumer and Pelosi want extra projects funded, the only one worth considering is completing the Southern Border Wall as quickly as possible.
 
---
Online headline: "China decimated US intelligence apparatus years ago, posing steep challenge during coronavirus cover-up" -- I posted on Friday that 4 countries that usually have readers of my blog site haven't had any in the last month.. Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela. This is what happens with Socialist governments ... they cut I-net access off so their's and the world's citizens can't find out what's going on.

 We got to ee all our grandchildren this weekend! Scene from Camp CC:


---
Online headline: "Cuomo and Trump spar after NY governor says don’t 'pass the buck without passing the bucks'" -- Good grief.. all that Gov Fredo Cuomo has passed is "gas" (which should make him a direct target for AOC's eliminate methane gas program), and "GO" on what should be him on the way to "Jail" without collecting $200.00! Think about how he'd have spent the money if he had it.. NY would have 40,000 ventilators when it's only needed about 5,000, and the empty hospital beds that Trump got for him that haven't been needed.. Trump should bill Fredo for the money wasted.
 
---
Good grief...MSM-13 anchors, out of the safety of their own homes or other safe havens , are advocating "combat pay" for healthcare workers.. You know, while it is admirable that healthcare workers accept the known responsibilities their world is built around, making Covid-19 care more scary than any other disease our healthcare workers face in the line of duty is a bit self-serving of the media jockeying for special attention for themselves as overly sympathetic... but I have a possible ... and doable ..action these "look at me" anchors can do yo 'show they care more'.. voluntarily donate their salaries to pay the healthcare workers "Tips".
 
---
Why hasn't MSM-13 looked back at the timing when Bloomberg dropped out of the Democrat race? The market was struggling and Bloomberg was probably making big bucks.. probably more than the $600 Million he'd spent on his campaign, and he didn't want anyone scrutinizing his stock market "hedge" activities.

While we're talking about car tag renewals, let's talk about getting tags for bicycles in GA.. The plaintive cry of bicyclers is "Share the Road"... well, these roads need maintenance, and maintenance is paid from taxes.. so, Bicyclers.. how about "Sharing the LOAD!
