From the "Coin Flip: either the 'Bias? What bias?' or the 'headLIE' " department - Online headline/story: "Unions Angered by Trump's Meat Production Order * The order uses the Defense Production Act to classify meat processing as critical infrastructure to try to prevent a shortage of chicken, pork and other meat on supermarket shelves. Unions fired back, saying the White House was jeopardizing lives and prioritizing cold cuts over workers' health." - Good grief... If anyone in "the Unions" is angry that President Trump has kept their jobs open and meat on their tables, it's the Union Bosses paying lip-service to the Democrats.

You know, I wasn't as upset to hear that the L A Lakers had received a Covid Relief Loan (but are returning it) as I was to realize that the Lakers had to make the application to get it.

Online story: " An Alaska school board removed five famous -- but allegedly "controversial" -- books from district classrooms, inadvertently spurring renewed local interest in the excluded works. * "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller, "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison were all taken off an approved list of works that teachers in the Mat-Su Borough School District may use for instruction. * The school board voted 5-2 on Wednesday to yank those works out of teachers' hands starting this fall. The removed books contained content that could potentially harm students* Several books that were not removed from classrooms still came under harsh scrutiny. "The Jungle" and "A Christmas Carol" could be interpreted as advocating for socialism, while "A Street in Bronzeville" was called to question for showing too much "realism" in describing racism against African Americans, according to a district memo." -- Interesting.. the most important aspect of an education is showing students history.. and that people can change to future to improve things.. Interesting, too, is that I've asked our local School board whether or not "Animal Farm" is still required reading in High School as it exposes the pitfall of Socialism.. "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal" (FTR.. no answer... yet)

So Hellary has now jumped on the Biden wagon.. you know, maybe Biden should start feeling wary.. Even the Democrat-base is not that happy with Hellary and Warren and Pelosi on the same page.. especially the "Bernie Bunch".

You know.. I applaud Pelosi for wearing her scarves across her mouth and nose.. not so much because they are masks, but more like "gags". Wonder if she'd wear one made out of recycle plastic grocery bags as a unity sign with AOC..

From the "Hey, Brad Raffensperger, are you listening"" department - Online headline/story: "28 Million Mail-In Ballots Went Missing in Last Four Elections * Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail. * A significant increase in mail-in voting this fall could greatly incentivize “ballot harvesting,” where third parties collect mail-in ballots on behalf of voters and deliver them to election officials. There’s long been a consensus that such a practice incentivizes fraud, and ballot harvesting is illegal in most of the country. Public debate over the issue has intensified in recent years after a GOP operative in North Carolina was indicted for crimes related to ballot harvesting in 2018. * That same election cycle California legalized ballot harvesting, and observers say the practice played a key role in ousting several Republican congressmen in Orange County in 2018, a longstanding GOP stronghold in a state that has become very liberal in recent decades. " -- And this doesn't even count the 4 tubs of mailed in ballots recently found in Wisconsin that won't be counted..

Messonnier continued to hold routine phone briefings with reporters in the weeks after she raised the alarm about the virus at a press conference with Trump."

A lot of Socialist "things" sound good until you parse them.. take "universal income" ..wow... getting paid what the government officials feel you are worth... basically room and board.. but not at their level of needs.... and you won't have control of earning any more than the person next to you. Who said slavery ended following the Civil War?

It's sorta ironic..but moronic, too, that Pelosi says she's not calling the House back to work.... Excuse me, but I really haven't remembered it working for America since Newt was Speaker in the 1990's.

Shame on the Mayor of Philadelphia. He went on TV to complain about the money being spent on the Blue Angel/Thunderbirds flyover saying he'd have liked that money to spend himself.. President Trump boosted the spirits of First Responders and taxpayers alike with a much needed moment..on the other hand, the Mayor would have wasted the money.

Got reminded yesterday that the "We Do Amazing" Columbus Chamber of Commerce still hasn't filled their open Executive Director's office. Maybe we should reduce it to "amazing"..... or maybe we can get verification that the top candidate bailed out and the next two declined after hearing that.
