Happy Triskaidekaphobia! (Friday the 13th)

Conformation of "print-at-home" ballots/voting in California -- Straight from the california Secretary of State's office!:

A Remote Accessible Vote by Mail (RAVBM) system allows voters to mark their selections using their own compatible technology to vote independently and privately in the comfort of their own home.

A voter can request a RAVBM when they review their information on My Voter Status or by contacting their County Elections Office by phone, mail or email or by going to their County Elections Office website for more information.

* Downloads the application to mark their selections,
* Marks their selections for each contest using their compatible technology, on their computer or tablet,
* Prints and returns their marked selections by mail using the postage paid envelope included with their vote by mail ballot or using their own envelope which would require postage.
* The return envelope used in any instance, must have the voter’s signature on the outside of the envelope.
* The voter can also return their selections in person to a voting location, drop box, or their County Elections Office. A voter cannot submit their selections online. It must be mailed or returned in person.
* The vote-by-mail envelope being mailed to all Californian’s, includes punched holes that will help guide visually impaired voters where the signature is needed. However, if a voter is using their own envelope, they can sign anywhere on the outside of the envelope.

From the site (see "link") One finds there is no requirement for a Brick & Mortar address, and,  with using a personal envelope, this opens up homeless locations by nearest intersection which are not verifiable .. and downloading a ballot on a cellphone allows a "voter" to use "public printers" at coffee shops, libraries, political party HQs, or even a portable printer out of a vehicle driven to a homeless camp/site. Please note.. there is no "mention" of "ballot harvesting" not being used to "drop off" bulk ballots without postage. All the Democrats have to do in the RECALL vote is to flood in ballots that support Newsom, and the Replacement Issue becomes moot. Talk about a fraud issue!

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - NBC headline/story: "Higher vaccination rates in Texas, Florida could've saved 4,700 lives, study finds * The study from the Commonwealth Fund, a private health care endowment, was conducted by an international team of epidemiologists and data scientists. The analysis compared the Covid hospitalization and death rates of a group of states like Vermont and Connecticut, which had fully vaccinated roughly 3 in 4 adults on average, with those of Florida and Texas, where roughly 1 in 2 adults are fully vaccinated" -- Hmmm... but no mention that both Texas and Florida are major destinations of unvaccinated illegal aliens, nor any comment about how many Covid-19 deaths in NY could have been avoided if Creepo Cuomo had not been the Governor there..

---
From the "what you saw is not what you actually saw" department - It was advertised as a Yankees-White Sox baseball game on the "Field of Dreams" in Iowa.. but it wasn't... I equate it with a Little Leaguer going to Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series, and not getting to play on the original .. and historical... Howard J. Lamade Field. Oh... anybody know who won?

---
To me, to vaccinate or not  should not be an issue about a mandate but of common sense. Now.. under the current circumstances, what is the FDA, under JoKKKe Biden, doing about approving the current available vaccines (or not), and does the FDA have other vaccine options "in the works" that may be better than the ones President Trump's "Warp Speed" triumph over government boondoggles got to market in record speed!

---
Just like US citizenship is required to be a voter in the US, it should also be a a question on our Census counts.. By counting illegal aliens in the Census, a state like california, with a high ratio of non-US Citizens being counted, gets more Representative Districts in Congress... at the wrongful expense of other states who have negligible non-US citizens to count as residents..

---
From the "wait a minute.. let's look at this closer!" department - YAHOO headline/story: "Student loans: Bipartisan bankruptcy reform bill proposes alternative to forgiveness hope or lifelong debt * "First, it would ensure that people who have struggled to repay their student loans for at least a decade can benefit from bankruptcy’s fresh start and get their lives back on track," Iuliano said. "And second, it would ensure that the student loan credit market continues to function." * The bill also proposes to increase "institutional accountability" by making colleges that receive federal loans from more than a third of their students "partially reimburse" the Department of Education (ED) if student loans are later discharged in bankruptcy or "if the colleges had consistently high default rates and low repayment rates." -- Good grief! A handful of RINO's and a piss-pot full of Democrats does not make a bill "bipartisan! Secondly, with a 10 year period, the US taxpayers will be stuck with absorbing the debt, as any quack institutions that benefited from sham loans for sham course will already have declared bankruptcy and no longer available for being accountable.

Online headline: "Why Only Citizens Should Vote" -- Hmmmm.. "Why"? How about IT"S IN OUR CONSTITUTION to protect us from treasonous politicians who would flood the polls with illegal non-citizens to vote American citizens OUT OF CONTROL of our country! Our Founding Fathers protected us from England being able to overthrow the Revolution and their foresight will hopefully thwart liberals/progressives attempts to do so with illegal voters today!

From the "21st Century mafia?" department - Online headline/story: "Georgia prosecutors bust fake children’s charity set up to ‘fund criminal gang activity’ * 14 now facing charges after children allegedly recruited for scheme * The group’s fake charity, called the Georgia Peach Youth Club of America Inc., "purported to be a work and recreation program that claimed to be against gangs, gun violence, and drugs," an indictment unsealed this week says. But the money raised through its operations was instead being funneled to the Nine Trey Bloods, a subset of the Los Angeles-based United Blood Nation gang, according to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr. " -- Good grief!Now gangs are mimicking the old time mafia, and are creating what looks like a legitimate business "front" to launder illicit funds through!

After overriding his Generals and pulling out our troops in Afghanistan , JoKKKe Biden's "handlers" are sending back upwards of 4,000 troops BACK because the emboldened Taliban has taken over 11 regional capitals. Obviously, the Taliban waited out Biden's "handlers" naive plan that the Afghani's would... could... defend themselves.

---
From the "fat chance!" department - Online headline: "Abbott rips White House, says Texas can help with oil production if Biden admin will 'stay out of the way': -- "stay out of the way"? Yeah.. right...

---
Another from the "fat chance" department - Here are the requirements for a student to enter GA's public school system:

"A child must be five years old on or before September 1 to enter a public Kindergarten. The child must be six years old on or before September 1 to enter first grade. School systems must verify age before enrollment.

 

A child who was a legal resident of one or more states for a period of two years immediately prior to moving to Georgia and who was legally enrolled in either a public Kindergarten or first grade, or a private Kindergarten or first grade accredited by a state or regional association, would be eligible to enroll in Georgia schools."

Students enrolling in Georgia public schools for the first time will be asked by the school or school system to furnish a Social Security number. However, the Social Security Number is not required for enrollment in public schools. If they prefer, parents or guardians may sign a statement declining to provide the number without giving a reason. Students for whom Social Security numbers are not available will be assigned other student identification numbers."

You know.. without a Social Security number assigned at birth in the US and a birth certificate.. how does any student's age and eligibility get confirmed?

from the "it's a natural conflict of interest" department - Online headline/story: "Majority of registered Democratic voters now prefer socialism to capitalism, Fox News poll finds * This is a drastic shift from last year * The poll, taken between Aug. 7-10, showed that 59% of registered Democratic voters who participated had a positive view of socialism, compared to just 49% who felt that way about capitalism. * In February 2020, when the question was last asked, 50% of Democrats who participated said they had a favorable view of capitalism, with just 40% saying the same about socialism. * The poll showed that 44% of Democrats had an unfavorable view of capitalism, and 31% had a negative view of socialism. * Of the Republicans polled, 67% viewed capitalism favorably, and 8% had a favorable view of socialism." -- What's scary is that there's no mention of whether the Democrats are also citizens of the US.. What's even scarier is seeing programs to assist Black entrepreneurs in establishing small businesses for themselves being contradictory to what the agenda of the Socialist-Democrats is...

Online story: "Walter Shaub, the director of the United States Office of Government Ethics under President Obama, said the Biden administration is sending a "f--- you" to ethics experts by hiring so many relatives of senior White House officials. * Press secretary Jen Psaki, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, senior adviser Anita Dunn, White House counselor Steve Richetti, deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed and presidential personnel office director Cathy Russell each have at least one direct family member working for the Biden administration. * "I'm sorry, I know some folks don't like hearing any criticism of him. But this royally sucks. I'm disgusted," Shaub wrote in a Twitter thread Friday, reacting to an article about the family ties of Biden officials. * "A lot of us worked hard to tee him up to restore ethics to government and believed the promises," Shaub added, calling the string of family-related hires "a real ‘f*** you’ to us—and government ethics." * "EVEN THE F-ING HEAD OF PRESIDENTIAL PERSONNEL, WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING THEM HONEST, HAS A CHILD WHO'S A RECENT COLLEGE GRAD WORKING IN THE ADMINISTRATION. AND THE SPOUSE OF THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD," Shaub added." -- Makes it even harder to believe when Biden calls Trump a liar....

Online story: "Several lobbying firms with connections to President Biden experienced a sharp increase in cash during the first six months of 2021, with some raking in four times as much revenue over the same time period in 2020. * One firm cashing in on the Biden administration is headed by the brother of a senior White House official, and another bought a lobbying group owned by a top official from the presidential campaign. Two other firms are linked to lobbyists who worked under Biden when he served in previous offices." - Good grief! It's a hard enough pill to swallow about Biden's nepotism and plagiarism, but now were dealing with unbridled thievery!

---
Online story: "(JoKKKe Biden's) Wilmington home, a place where he has now spent 14 of his 29 weekends as president" -- Hmmm... How convenient.. lock him up in his basement and the WH Press Corp follows suit to Delaware.. which makes it awfully easy to sneak in "visitors" to the White House to meet with the WH "handlers" without drawing much attention...

---
Talk about "missing he point" department - Online headline: "MSNBC’s Joy Reid Says Those Mad About Obama’s Maskless Birthday Bash Are Just Angry They Weren’t Invited" -- Not entirely "true".. even by MSM standards... many of the angry were those that were snubbed by being "DIS-INVITED at the last moment.. and finding out how Obama really felt about them.. Nancy PeLOUSY quickly comes to mind.

---
Hmmm... now the Mexican Drug Cartel leaders are sending threats to Mexican media anchors that they want more positive media coverage... Hmm.. they would probably get more.. and faster access if the leaders just invited CNN folks to their parties. Oh, this would not be unprecedented.. after his demise, CNN admitted to not calling out Saddam Hussein's tragic atrocities perpetrated inside his Palace for fear that Hussein might revoke their invitations to his parties at the Palace.

---
Online headline: "The NFL has announced that the playing of our national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” preceding games in the upcoming season will regularly be paired with the playing of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” referred to as the “black national anthem.” " -- Good grief! There's a difference between THE National Anthem and an exclusionary anthem...

Online headline: "Repeating second grade: Kids being held back as COVID-19 affects 'some of the most important years of school'" -- Hey... MCSD...you too, MCSB members... do you have any idea where this years 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Grade students stand in their reading levels? Wait a minute! If no reading comprehension test were conducted during the first week of classes, you are not qualified to contemplate a "Yes" answer.

---
Online headline: "Virginia school board approves controversial transgender policy " -- It's gonna take one high school's all boys basketball, golf, tennis, track & field, and even a male baseball team (playing girls softball) to claim they are "girls" and destroying the Title 9 programs in order for MSM and Democrats to admit they are full of A Dam Schi**.

---
Online headline: "Northwest sees more sizzling temperatures as heat wave hits much of US" -- Hmmm...could it simply be that 'progressives" have moved away from God and much closer to Hell?

---
You know.. the mainstays of Trump bashing during the 2020 campaign season were the Cuomos, Avenatti, and The Lincoln Project... Look what has happened to them since...they should be an example.. and a warning... to other RINO and false narrative groups...

---
We certainly are having an overabundance of apartment complex fires here in Columbus recently..... enough so that questions need to be asked if the "eviction ban" has has played a part on them.

---
WTVM-TV9 Online headline: "Columbus Consolidated Government seeking help with bulky waste pickup" -- Oh! While the debris was still out there on Mobley Road, someone did remove the mattress pictured in my Wednesday Breakfast Club posting! Hey... gotta start somewhere!

 

---
From the "obvious wishful thinking" department - WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Henry Avenue, Columbus | Death investigation underway after body found on Henry Ave. in Columbus * the body of a female was found inside a vacant home at the 1100 block of Henry Avenue on August 11. * The body was badly decomposed and may have been there for at least a month. Neighbors started smelling an odor and went on the porch and looked inside a window and saw the woman’s body in a front bedroom. * The cause of death is unknown but foul play is not suspected." -- "cause of death is unknown but foul play is not suspected"? Good grief.. how can "foul play" be eliminated on a month old decomposed body..in a vacant house? We have already had 42 "official" homicides, and there are 2 or 3 more that were probably/possibly homicides that are "pending" which would make this last be out 46th of 2021.. which would match ALL of 2020's total...
