Welcome to Friday’s OPEN THREAD at the QTree! It’s the weekend and time to crack open a beer and put some steaks on the grill, if and only if you can get to a grocery store! Thank you for the Thursday hand-off TrumpIsMine. Thank you to Wolfie for keeping us all organized, up and running. What would we do without FLEP’s News Roundup to keep up? Thank you, Flep. Hat tip and a hearty thank you to Wheatie, Dep, BakoCarl, Michael, Steve in Colorado, all contributors and the lurkers!
We don’t believe in political correctness at QTree. Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time. Important Guidelines are outlined here in the January 1st open thread, with an addendum on 20191110. In other words, please keep it SOMEWHAT civil. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
What a week this has been. It’s one to tell your grandchildren. It’s amazing how clear everything has become. Past betrayal by Wall St., political leaders and their lobbyists led to the hollowing of America. Then, …….. came the opioids. We were down on the mat, beaten and abused, almost dead, ….. when this guy decided to run for President of the United States. Our ears perked up, and with what could have been America’s last breath………. we arose and decided to fight once more.
And we won. Everyone else was shocked, gobsmacked, that we won. We weren’t surprised at all. We knew what was happening in China, at the southern border, the “new normal” which made no sense, and the complete repudiation of “blind justice”. It was time to right the ship. The press was very upset. We challenged their authority. The agencies were mad, they thought they were “elite”, while we saw them as fat and overpaid bureaucrats. The establishment of both parties was furious, they assumed we would listen and blindly follow.
Do you remember the Obama years? When you thought you were the ONLY one who felt like something was wrong? Then suddenly, there were millions of Americans who felt the same way?
Our spirit wasn’t dead and gone. We just forgot who we were for a little while. We’re Americans. If something is broken, we fix it. But wow, we had no idea how much was broken in the USA.
The more we fixed, the more problems we found, but we grew stronger.
And we grew bigger.
America kept winning with this guy.
And then, the real spirit of America, with Trump’s strong leadership, spread all over the world. He inspired BILLIONS of people to take back their countries, question their leaders, and demand more.
Trumpzilla, more precisely, the spirit of people who long to live free, with competent leadership, was growing all over the world.
Our economy, our oil dominance, our unemployment numbers, trade policy, more opportunity for minorities, the return to manufacturing,…… America was firing on all cylinders…….even as the left ran an Impeachment sham, and the media+DOJ/FBI lied to the world about Russia . Every day was Christmas with our guy.
Until a little virus from China showed up, and threatened to bring darkness to the world.
Our stock market lost 1/3 of value in about 3 weeks. At Q Tree, we knew it was coming. We were miles ahead of the MSM….. cuz they were occupied with SHAMMPEACHMENT. Millions of people will be laid off, businesses destroyed, and now, an attack from Saudi and the Russians on our oil sector. We’re told to stay at home to save our very lives. Okay, fine. We’re going to do what is necessary………. but so help me GOD, the other side of this looks very different for the politicians who put us here. Trump was right about China. Politicians and Wall St took a cheap price from China, but the COST was too much.
Can you imagine America staying at home, locked away for 3 months? Not sure if we would make it three weeks. People are starting to question their leaders about an over-reaction and keeping a “shelter-in-place” order will get dicey, especially when tyrannical leftist mayors and governors use the Virus as an excuse to release prisoners or establish a ban on guns.
But……… does anyone think we won’t come out of this? And seek retribution for our temporary imprisonment? Nah, I’m a believer.
And if EVER there was a guy to lead the world out of darkness, death, grave threats, and give the power back to the people, it’s this guy………
No doubts, not even a smidgen. Understand, if the governments of the world are able to portray themselves as the saviors of the people, we lose it all. We go back, to the idiots in power. We cannot waiver at this time. Our storm is here.
We’re holding fast. We’ll never give up. Too late to put the genie back in the bottle. So, say a little prayer, we’re going to need all the help we can get.
Remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Set your jaw, be determined. We have a fight on our hands. We’ll meet at Wheatie’s treehouse in the morning.
Okay, Wuhanvirus has had its 15 minutes of fame 30 minutes ago. Drop the curtain now!
Meanwhile…tick tock…
21st century doomsday clock?
The FISA extension was for 77 days that will bring us to around the first week of June. Heard somewhere that Mr. Durham should be about done then 🤔🤔. Coincidence maybe that FISA is still being used on the black hats then it gets shut down when Durhams done?
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Barack and Harry Reid behind that curtain, ol Harry was the master of deception…
Just send his exercise machine behind the curtain. Things would get copacetic quickly.
OMG I have to clean my tablet screen, that’s the funniest thing I have heard in a while, poor Harry…
Pleased to be of service. 🙂
And Harry & Barry will need Kaopectate.
TO ARMS!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing can stop what’s coming.
Q
They have to. They have to shut this shit down. Polly nailed it. The head of WHO is a damn Marxist terrorist playing games with his CHINESE MASTERS. He’s IN ON THE SCAM.
Whole thing is ridiculous. They need prison guards, I’ll volunteer.
GIVE ME CANKLES!!! (No, not that way – let me help GUARD CANKLES!!!
She has to be getting a cut out of this via the Clinton Foundation.
We can all see clearly now Daughn, now we have a population of sheeple to wake up from their brainwashing…
Night and God bless Y’all, gonna take my last 2 cranberry pills of the day and go to bed…
Nite Rodney!!!
Night and God bless Daughn, I hope you get some rest your definately a power house like our POTUS…
Still a classic…..

So far, we are blessed that job is unaffected. As long as job stays safe we are saving money on gas (Big Time!), wear/tear on car/routine maintenance & the dry cleaners (no pressed shirts needed to work from home!).
We thought about saving money by putting some of our payments to extra curricular activities that we can’t attend anyway on hold. decided not to do so unless our income was changed so as to support these businesses through this situation. Our income is the same so seemed like the right thing to do.
Martial arts school has set up a Facebook page and a youtube channel in just the last several days. Have made videos for instruction and to work out/learn routines. Head of the school encouraging parents to video students and send them to the teacher so they can give tips and encouragement. Having the students gear up in the outfit, etc. Good for our son to motivate him, keep him on track of progressing forward and keep some structure in his life. So, yes, we are still paying for classes he isn’t attending to help them stay in business but turns out we are still getting something for our money.
Same with piano lesson. Continuing to pay Plus we figured out how to do it via FaceTime. Again, supporting same businesses, supporting son and they have figured out how to adapt and carry on!
Only thing we have changed is we won’t have dry cleaning to drop off/pick up. feel badly about it but can’t pay them for something we just don’t need. And can’t buy gas we don’t need.
Plus haircuts…why possibly expose son and myself to wuhan flu for son’s haircut (Husband does his own at home & I almost always let them do my haircut already to save $) when no one will be seeing him anyway? We do them at home about 1/2 the time anyway to save $. I like to get son’s down in town at Easter and Christmas but not this year unless its all over and we go to church.
We already don’t go out to eat or to the movies or travel much anyway so no one is loosing our business. Trying to same businesses as usual. Don’t know what else to do to help them.
You’ve got the right attitude, MMom – taking care of your family first and supporting others through your routines as much as possible. We want our local businesses to survive, so any way we can safely and financially help is much appreciated.
It also reassures and encourages others to hear about your actions.
There’s money in that green stuff, alot of money in taxes for the growers and consumers… I am so glad I can legally grow 6 plants in California, I dont have to go around all the stinkie hair farmers in the dispensaries…

Interesting word choice from Lindsey Graham:
Vaccines are actually our biggest concern by far. Don’t want it but concerned about requirements for jobs, extra curricular activities, etc. We know we have reactions but not allergic reactions – sensitivities and auto immune issues. Really concerned about this!
Me too, MAGA Mom. I don’t trust the vaccine pushers at all.
Just like the CDC drifted into studying gun violence and obesity, I’m concerned that vaccine production is drifting into everything from nanoparticles to priming further health issues. I’d trust a private company I could sue more than I’d trust a government agency; and I’d trust an old fashioned “virus soup” innoculation more than I’d trust a vaccine with all the whiz-bang and fancy flashes that can be produced in the most advanced labs.
Special for you…
Heh.
Trouble is…the government has exempted manufacturers from vaccine injury liability.
Oh but take heart…big G set up a vaccine court that may or may not see fit to compensate you for a vaccine injury.
it IS war after all…
but perhaps he means CHINA as well…
Or whoever is pulling their strings. I’m still not convinced China is absolutely the top of the food chain. I think some big money men made them an offer they couldn’t refuse over 100 years ago and we’re seeing that come to the surface.
I believe Cabal is pretty much headquartered in China, definitely pulling its strings…
I beg to differ. London and Amsterdam with satellites in New York, and Rome.
Those are the REAL HIGHER UPS… I’m talking lower level, like Gates level…
And you’re referring to ‘City of London’ (the Square Mile), right? Not London, England… and I think of the Vatican as equivalent to CofL, rather than Rome… and Amsterdam is new to me… will have to review my notes 😉
I think most of what WAS in NY was moved to China under Bush the Younger, early on in his admin (or rather, Cheney’s Administration)
All speculation of ourse.
How this was not already criminal is beyond me 🤷♀️
https://twitter.com/southrngirl77/status/1240723268434305025?s=21
Yeah, and how the scumbag liberal POS Justices can vote against it is proof they have no business being on the court and should be impeached and removed
iirc the ones arguing against it were hung up on the fact that the tax forms were FEDERAL (I-9’s for instance) and not STATE. but the state prosecutors were saying, the illegals carried that same fake ss number onto state forms as well…but I know they were trying to say it wasn’t for states to prosecute since it was a federal form and federal number at first. but clearly the illegals were using that stolen federal number on state (and local) forms, so why not allow the states to prosecute?
Not surprised. Everyone is closing. Everyone needs to eat. They need hot food too. Just got an email kohls is shutting down tonight. Cant do my return now.
How can anyone return anything? Also a large grocery chain Stater Bros is no longer accepting any returns on purchases. I find it very odd.
It’s not odd if you think about how long the virus survives on various materials and surfaces. The store, right now, probably wants to control its supply/distribution chain and not accept things back from the general public.
Gosh, not odd at all! I certainly wouldn’t want returned items going back on shelves. After all, nothing could be that expensive it has to be returned, IMO. If you can’t use it, donate it.
I mean like what if you bought something and it was bad when you ooened it? Thats a return. It wont go back on the shelf. Thats where theyve gone to. They may sell bad food.
My bf is on road right now and this is absolutely true. Many rest stops are closed also.
We are limited by the damn social distancing, etc. otherwise we could form sandwich brigades and meet them at the highway truckstops if restaurants there are closed. Actually they are probably fine at highway truckstops which can do takeout via walkups. It’s probably closer to their delivery destinations where fast food instead of truck stops is the option.
There are huge Coors Beer and Ball Canning Jar plants near me. I’m going to call and see what I can find out. Also tweeting back to some of the truckers to ask them.
when i passed by the PA Welcome Center–the exit ramp was barricaded and big CLOSED signs were everywhere. strangely there were 2 cars in the parking lot–not sure how they got there.
We are busy getting our garden started. We are gardening a little more this year due to possible job impacts and due to concern for supply chains, etc. and if all goes well – more to share with others whose incomes/jobs have changed without stretching our budget any tighter.
Here are the seed companies we usually use and recommend:
1) https://migardener.com
They are not filling any orders due to Wuhan Flu.
They are economical ($1 packet!) and have a great variety (we like to plant things we can’t buy in the grocery so we get variety from our garden instead of just growing the same things we buy from the grocery the rest of the year)
2) https://www.groworganic.com
Have had pretty good experience with their seeds in previous years. Good variety, medium cost, most seeds have had good rate of sprouting. We seed save and we don’t have a huge garden so rarely use a full seed packet of whatever we are planting. Did not need to order from them this year so do not know how they are being impacted.
3) https://www.americanmeadows.com
have had Great experiences with them – good customer service and quality growth rates of their seeds.
cover crops, grass seeds, morning glories, wild flowers, etc.
Haven’t ordered from them this year yet so do not know how they are affected
4) https://www.reneesgarden.com
We just placed an order with them 2 days ago. Received an email stating that they were going through protocols in their shipping that made it take longer and that delivery services were backed up so expected 5 days before shipped out and 5-7 for delivery after that.
They are located in CA….Hope the order still goes out to us!
Have ordered from them multiple times. great variety. Good results for the seeds.
MAGA Mom, renee’s garden also has, for those so inclined, The Best collection of both Heirloom Sweet Peas, you know the ones which smell sooo good, and the best collection of Sunflowers.
She began to sell seed in Santa Cruz area when I lived there, and since the seed from species Heirlooms
can be saved, and run true, I still have some…most are from England.
iirc, she is still in Felton.
We buy from these specific companies so that we can seed save, and to be free of GMO, to make sure the seeds are not treated and (at least at the time we originally made our buying choices) these seed companies were independent and not yet bought out by the big companies.
We still don’t seed save many things but we have successfully saved from melons, squash – both winter and summer.
Watching email today to see if the order will be shipped. Fingers crossed.
We are growing some things that were not economically worth it before because can buy them so cheaply in the store. Can buy a Huge bag of frozen organic green beans ready to cook from Costco for $7 v. all of the work, water, etc. to grow the same amount. Same with organic salad greens – $5 for a packed box. Didn’t seem worth it to grow. And sunflower seeds. We grow them every year for the birds. This time ordered more and varieties that will be for us. Changing what we are growing just in case. Changing pros/cons and will be home more for the spring so more time.
We love to garden…until about July and then we tend to loose it as the bugs come in swarms and the weather is miserable. This year, different motivation. Plus, we are putting everything in early so maybe we can avoid the hottest part of the summer. Putting in early this year in hopes of fall garden too!
Anyway, thanks for sharing – her company’s seeds have done very well. Hers are the most expensive so we have usually favored others but have enjoyed hers, found them to be very reliable and to have many seeds per packet so we will have some of all we buy left over to use again in the fall and next year.
Hope they ship!
Sweet peas! Oh such childhood memories, growing on a trellis right outside the back kitchen door in my childhood home. You rarely see them any more.
Teagan, once I planted old time sweet peas (from Renee) along a split rail fence on a property line. Made wooden frames w/horse fencing for trellis, leaning against said fence.
When they were in full bloom, one day a man knocked on my door, asking if he could cut some for his wife, as she loved them, they reminded her of her Mother.
So I brought scissors, and we made a huge bouquet for his wife. He was in tears.
I was high for the rest of the day! Worth any effort it took!
Renee’s is still shipping! 🙂 Their warehouse is actually in CO so they are all still able to go to work. The warehouse shipping is taking longer because they have staggered the work force, spreading them out over the day into different shifts, etc., to allow extra time to clean and to reduce exposure to each other. But they are still open and shipping.
Chrissy WallASS is STILL out to get President Trump!
Wall ASS the Dumb Mass!
BTW……. Great thread opening Daughn.
Love ya, Rayzor!
Great American Distillers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
THIS is how the USA responds!
Heard a great story the other day of a hospital who needed a part for three different ventilators. Bunch of millennial kids showed up and 3D printed the part. Way to go, boys!!
I saw that story too, Daughn! Ingenuity 🤓
Amen, daughnworks247. Great post.
We do indeed have to fix Canada. I pray for that every day…Trudeau loves China. He needs to go, and we Canadians have to work to right our country.
Every day, I pray for that, and protection and thanksgiving for PDJT and his family. He has taken on a huge task…almost impossible. But he has God with him, and the great and independent people of the USA who LOVE freedom. May we citizens of Canada learn to love freedom as much.
Amen.
Anons wonder if Ellen is wearing an ankle bracelet.
That is odd. It’s clearly something there. But isn’t that a little high?
Wireless receiver. It’s where the AI robot named Ellen gets its daily program updates.
She was doing a magic trick so it could be cards but yeah I’m all for rounding them all up

Awesome uplifting thread, Daughn. Many many thanks for keeping us focused on the positives. 🇺🇸💖🇺🇸💖
You’re the best wing man, Alison!
Here’s another distiller who is making Hand Sanitizer and giving it away.
Recipe is simple…2/3 alcohol + 1/3 aloe.
Bourbon or Scotch?
Thanks for the wonderful recap and uplifting message, Miss Daughn!
😊🥰👍
Love it!
And…YES, we will fight and we will overcome this ChiCom-19 Virus sneak attack!
Oh Wheatie, after this week, I can’t wait to hit the couch in your tree house tomorrow. Time to drink coffee, plot and plan.
I just got a spam email offering hydroxychloroquine online. Anyone else noticing this? Not a good thing.
Well, at least it wasn’t an hydroxychloroquine email offering spam.
Lololol
Spam bin!
Glad u found me. 🙂
I’ve seen references to it. Report as spam and delete is the recommendation so far. That medication needs to be prescribed as it interacts with other meds. A doctor and/or pharmacist would need to be part of that decision.
😳😬
Drugs? …Or demonic possession.
https://twitter.com/KarluskaP/status/1240853773381185536?s=20
Those two always go hand in hand.
I will take demonic possession for 100 Alex. I’ve come realize there is a lot of demonic possession hidden under the guise of mental issues. Remember the video from a couple days ago the woman jogging naked naked down an LA street with a rat dangling from her mouth? Yeah demons are among us.
Putting aside her lack of clothing, has anyone verified that it was an actual rat?
A possible explanation is she thought she was a cat and took it just a bit too far.
Yes. I put this up on yesterday’s thread. I’m all for solidarity, but, Nancy, they were meant as a joke.
“Feinstein” is trending on Twitter because she’s caught up in this Senate insider trading scandal. Get ready to red pill people on ChiFi, folks.
These aren’t what we need to be looking at. May well just be a smoke-screen. “Hey look at THIS!”
>>>> We need to be looking at who put on large SHORT positions in Q4 ‘19. <<<<<<
That’s where you’ll find 🔥🔥
Don’t accept things at first glance.
HAVEN’T PEOPLE LEARNED THIS PRINCIPAL YET??
Everyone should be asking WTF are the dims and the Deep State doing BEHIND the cover of the CCP virus.
Bingo, that’s what I was thinking. Good heavens, all of us here knew what was coming down the pike. Anyone with half a brain, basic knowledge of supply chains, and how much Wall St Multi-nationals are dependent on CHINA, KNEW it was going to be a problem.
We didn’t need a Senate briefing to tell us.
We were all over this story late January.
Media acting like it just happened in last three weeks.
We have a real chance to GET EM this time, unlike 9/11.
The way that the profiteers all got out of the 9/11 commission is a CHEAT just like a CHEAT protected sabotage on Three Mile Island (imagine the money there) when it had a compromised commission examine it.
In the case of the 9/11 commission, there was a RULE that people who were not directly connected to the terrorists were automatically assumed innocent if they made money. So all the very sketchy people who made money by selling or buying were basically just let off by a rule. That’s how the commission was neutered.
In the case of TMI, they ruled out sabotage BEFORE the commission could examine it, so it was automatically out of bounds. Stupid, but that was it.
Don’t forget when it comes to 9/11 that all the evidence of the theft and insider trading was destroyed in the attack itself.
Yes, that was sneaky and very Clinton.
Clinton? Come on, Wolf. Aim higher than that, babe.
Oh, I know THAT, but what I’m getting at is that the Clintons gravitated to a particular bag of tricks, and using one crime to destroy the evidence of others, or the same, was a particularly important one. It was almost like a fingerprint. Bill and Hill have always been VERY evidence-oriented in keeping the heat off, and I believe it is because both appear to have been turned BEFORE entering law school, so they learned the law as something upon which to construct their M.O.
Yes, the people on the list are really material witnesses, that’s for sure.
It occurred to me this morning while lying in the dark…Hillary IS the final solution. One way or another, she is the one they want behind the Resolute Desk with a pen and phone. Like she’s been trained for it or something.
Yup. She was the goal.
Maybe so, but it’s a place to start, a foot in the door, the camel’s nose in the tent.
Not everyone takes in information in shock and awe format all that efficiently.
A small point if you don’t mind: shock and awe isn’t about efficiency. Although its execution can be efficient.
Couldn’t happen to 2 better GOPers! Delighted to see them go down.
However – we started order and buying a few extra products made in China in early Feb in case supply chains were disrupted. Then bought extra of things made with Chinese parts for same. We don’t have stocks or would have thought about that too. so insider or just common sense based on news?
But maybe they received briefings that outlined the impacts on travel, etc. and then sold?
Get those 2 out. Collins is a better candidate anyways. Burr is owned. Inhofe surprises me.
And, I have no doubt other names will be exposed.
definitely needs to be looked into….especially Loeffler (still can’t believe she’s a senator based on who her hubby is).
I suspect Gov Kemp is a much richer man since Loeffler got her senate seat
OH, GOODY! A PAPER TRAIL!!!!!!!!!!!1

Carpe Donktum tweets:
The same people who are claiming that President Trump didn’t act early enough, were still trying to impeach him when he was taking action.
Oh and we already died in WW3 with Iran.
I must say, I feel pretty for a dead person. 🙂
*pretty good
And, here I was thinking of Maria in West Side Story….
Oh ouch 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
I’m sure I’m commonly mistaken for her, esp. around here.
Haaaa!
That was my first thought too!
😄😁
Me too.
You are pretty, FG&C.
I just won’t say pretty what …..
😎
Why not? Are you scared? 😎
No. Just didn’t want to crush your fragile spirit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you break into song and begin to resemble Natalie Wood, we’re going to start worrying about you.
Is this 15-day “stop the spread” merely preparation for a global economic war? Because it feels like they’re preparing for something bigger than a pandemic.
No doubt. Trump people are hanging strong and him on TV has to be waking up lots of people. The Cabal has to be searching through their bag of dirty tricks for something more and we should be expecting such. Mass riots next? Dems can’t be that stupid can they? This virus is already tearing the Dem apparatus to shreds as is.
Something is up. Check this out:
That is a great pic, if he is trying to intimidate anyone thinking of challenging him.
Yeah, what happens on day 16?
Forget day 16, how about day 17. I’d settle for my lower abs not aching from all the coughing, etc.
Have you tried one of those back braces?
The ache is from coughing and something else you don’t have to deal with.
Actually, I have a 12mm difference in leg length, so keeping the back flexible and strong is something I have to do on a regular basis.

Insufferable elitists engaging in some cringeworthy virtue-signaling:
Imagine there’s no leftists
That all of them have died
They’re all in hell below us
Fooled themselves and cried
Imagine all the freedoms gifted us that day
You-oooo
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
OMG! I dare you to send that to James Woods.
OMG, LOL! That is amazing!
Global economic war?
Suicide for China.
The US consumes 80% of all goods and services produced right here in the USA. We are self-sufficient for the most part. China NEEDS to both import food (it doesn’t produce enough at home to feed itself) AND export goods to pay for that food. Then again, I suppose the Chicom gov’t could kill off a few hundred million of it’s people if things got bad enough. 😏
People are wising up FAST. But not all. I’ve already seen some people being pushed back to bat soup by the Chinese trolls.
Flush out the ChiComs in the Energy department…
Heheh.

Sweden is doomed.
Text of tweet from Amy Mek:
Suicidal Sweden!
Journalist Ingrid Carlqvist Slams Sweden’s deathly decision to STILL welcome New Illegal Migrants despite the Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic
Over 500 new “asylum seekers” are flown into Swedish airports every single day
That’s one of the countries the Bernie Bros want us to be like. Those folks and Finland. They come up in every discussion with them.
So, apropos of nothing in particular, my “daily driver” machine is currently running off an SSD and a fresh Linux install, instead of spinning rust with a 6 x “dist-upgrade” system, and it is quite amusingly peppy. Mind you, it’s an old workstation of a system, with dual Xeons running eight cores and 12 or 16G of memory (for what you get, these can be very cheap…..but the older systems are built on larger geometries and emit incredible amounts of heat).
Probably helps that it doesn’t have 400 open browser tabs.
Tomorrow should be interesting.
Well, how would Google harvest our info if we DIDN’T have 400 tabs open?
Sheesh, have a little mercy.
Was that English? Asking for a friend.
Great idea! Let’s postpone it for four years!
POSTPONE IT 8 YEARS – JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE!

Could be.

A Dutch scientist of the University of Groningen created hydroxychloroquine in aerosol form and it will be available within weeks. It instantly reaches the lungs to directly block the negative effects of COVID-19, even better than HCQ in oral form.
Wowwwwwwwwwwww!
awesome
Now THIS is a break through.
Carl – if you see anything about reversing the damage of this stuff, please post.
I am assuming you are asking about this because of your ongoing lung problems?
Nitric oxide is a very important component of lung health. It is made by the body and there is an ideal level that is testable. It is a spit test, and you can get the test strips here:

If your levels are low, the easiest way to supplement your body’s ability to manufacture nitric oxide is beetroot powder. This is the brand I use, but there are others:

There is lots of study involving inhaled nitric oxide to treat lung problems, but I prefer to try natural stuff to improve things before going to big medicine. Here are some references, though:

THANKS SO MUCH, PAT – we really need your doses of medicinal laughter right now!!!!
it’s good medicine, any time…
Yeah, I needed that! Smiling, now. I’ll do the chores. THEN BACK TO BEING PISSED AT THE CHICOMS.
“Amen goes right there” (TM by Duchess) !
agreed!!!
I have a problem with this.
I sure as hell didn’t need a classified briefing to see the Economic Storm coming across the horizon. We ALL KNEW because we were following the story.
Anyone with basic econ and second hand knowledge of a supply chain, and knowing how dependent our Multi-Nationals on Wall St were to China, could have seen this shitstorm from 100miles away.
We KNEW.
The real crime was the media not covering the China story and focused on impeachment.
i knew (some) from following you guys here…but not nearly the depth that you all did.
and were they in any way fueling the high market to sell at the primo time?
Hydroxychloroquine is found to be more effective and potent than chloroquine in vitro treatment of coronavirus, new study published by NIH shows
RESULTS:
Hydroxychloroquine (EC50=0.72 μM) was found to be more potent than chloroquine (EC50=5.47 μM) in vitro. Based on PBPK models results, a loading dose of 400 mg twice daily of hydroxychloroquine sulfate given orally, followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg given twice daily for 4 days is recommended for SARS-CoV-2 infection, as it reached three times the potency of chloroquine phosphate when given 500 mg twice daily 5 days in advance.
CONCLUSIONS:
Hydroxychloroquine was found to be more potent than chloroquine to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

High Temperature and High Humidity Reduce the Transmission of COVID-19
Abstract
This paper investigates how air temperature and humidity influence the transmission of COVID-19. After estimating the serial interval of COVID-19 from 105 pairs of the virus carrier and the infected, we calculate the daily effective reproductive number, R, for each of all 100 Chinese cities with more than 40 cases. Using the daily R values from January 21 to 23, 2020 as proxies of non-intervened transmission intensity, we find, under a linear regression framework for 100 Chinese cities, high temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19, respectively, even after controlling for population density and GDP per capita of cities. One degree Celsius increase in temperature and one percent increase in relative humidity lower R by 0.0383 and 0.0224, respectively. This result is consistent with the fact that the high temperature and high humidity significantly reduce the transmission of influenza. It indicates that the arrival of summer and rainy season in the northern hemisphere can effectively reduce the transmission of the COVID-19.

While this is effectively true on an annual basis, the “official” channels of information from the CDC and WHO dispute this.
Which means it’s most likely absolutely correct.
EXACTLY!!!!
Well, that makes it real simple – relocate to the Louisiana bayou.
yup…China exports a lot!
Exploding glass bakeware, sub-grade steel, counterfeit goods such as Louis Vuitton bags, and possibly counterfeit currencies.
ALSO – someone is making COUNTERFEIT CORONAVIRUS TEST KITS – and China has to be high on the list of suspects!!!
I saw an article talking about those counterfeit test kits…that’s criminal!
EVIL!
wait, what?
exploding glassware????
what kind?
Chinese imitation Pyrex ware exploded.
Also – I bought a cheap Chinese imitation 85W charger for my laptops – and it didn’t last long!
i didn’t know that about the glassware…that’s scary!!!
My favorite commentary on the Chinese and their fakery.
They’re FUCKING CHICOMS! WAKE THE FUCK UP, WORLD!!!
At least in Europe, the counterfeit stuff is made in the same factories as the real thing by the same people, mostly in Senegal. It’s just done after hours and off the books…don’t save the receipt or the box and you’re good.
Yup. The over-runs explain the pretty astounding quality on some fakes.
CNYNA is also the PRIMARY polluter of the OCEAN!!!
And a cyber intel and technology thief – and a primary human rights abuser!
CHINA IS NOT A trustworthy GOOD CITIZEN NATION!!!
Let’s not forget the bad batch of Heparin, where many Americans died. OR the 9 MILLION disposable surgical kits which had to be recalled because of contamination.

Artist – Marcia Burtt – uses acrylics – actually goes out into the shallow water to paint.
Smiley posted her paintings way back when before the purge @ CTH
Like Smiley, I love the free loose spontaneous style and brushwork and man – the color palate is awesome – As Smiley calls it – juicy paint!
There are many other examples of Burtt’s seascapes and landscapes on the web.
That’s palette – not palate (the roof of your mouth).
Really well done. Thank you for posting.
I’m sure this artist has a following. Does she have a gallery or website? To do that with acrylics is really impressive. Usually, I see such landscapes in oils.

No words…..
Again…..
not sure if this is warranted in PA…there has been 1 death with 52 confirmed cases. There was a story about a NY family that lost 3 members to the China virus–after a large family gathering–one family member lived in PA–although that person was not identified as the one death in PA as yet. but the governor is closing all non essential businesses.
FTA
Gov. Tom Wolf issued a sweeping shutdown order to tens of thousands of “non-life-sustaining” businesses Thursday, decreeing they must close their physical locations by 8 p.m. to slow the spread of the coronavirus or face enforcement by state police and other government agencies.
snip
Republican lawmakers warned of economic devastation and accused Wolf of setting off panic. Senate GOP leaders late Thursday pushed Wolf for more transparency and the opportunity for business owners to appeal, while their House counterparts suggested they might challenge Wolf in the courts.
Among those allowed to stay open are gas stations, grocery stores, beer distributors, drugstores and building materials stores. Restaurants and bars can continue to offer carry-out, delivery and drive-thru food and drink service, but not dine-in service.
Businesses under shutdown orders range from coal mines to building contractors to many types of manufacturers, plus professional offices including law firms and accounting offices.
Retailers ordered to close include car dealers, clothing stores, furniture stores, florists, office supply stores and lawn and garden stores.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/19/pennsylvania-governor-orders-non-life-sustaining-businesses-to-shut-down/?utm_source=whatfinger
Can’t close garden stores. We have crops to plant.
well if building supply companies can stay open–most have garden centers–and farmers usually order seed in advance–besides I can’t imagine farmers being non essential—
seems these people want us to be lazy and indoors–watching the boob tube instead of out in the fresh air.
Our local organic seller isn’t open for spring yet. he’s really into bee and butterfly friendly plants.
4th member of that family died last night. Saw a photo of them at a formal occasion, looked to be Greek or Italian, with the deceased identified…looks as though all were 70+, the matriarch much older. The family must be devastated.
Along those lines…
This past Monday I went to a Celebration of Life reception for a friend who died of throat cancer. No children and her only sibling died 3 months prior….so out of town family wasn’t a factor.
This morning, I learned of another neighbor, brain cancer, who died…someone I have been cooking for during her awful illness. Two adult children living out of state, but the decision made of no services because of the virus issues.
And yet another bridge friend, uterine cancer, is extremely ill.
The point is…it’s something we don’t really think about in the midst of this virus crisis, the quarantines, the inability to get on a plane to see a dying family member or attend a funeral and all it entails. We talk about the storage of toilet paper. Well, hopefully we adapt as others have in the past but it certainly adds another layer of stress to daily life for those who are dealing with so much.
so sorry for the loss of your friends!
I did see an article (I didn’t read it at the time) about funeral homes streaming services…I just can’t imagine…

Some Profs Worry Online Teaching Content Will be Shared With ‘Right Wing Sites’
https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/03/some-profs-worry-online-teaching-content-will-be-shared-with-right-wing-sites/
Worried they will be found out – that what they are teaching (at taxpayer’s expense) to college students will now have the blessed disinfectant of sunlight. I say bring it on and thanks for the idea of checking out all of the online content! Same with many parents now seeing what public schools are teaching their children (plus how easy it is to homeschool … teaching that is but parenting 24/7 – that is the hard part!)
Ahh, poor babies. Their misinformation might be found out.
Who do these people think they are?

Very pretty.
Yes!!!
Wellllllllllll
wow!
At the moment, I’m not as worried about Russia. Putin knows an alpha male when he sees one. He’s not going to challenge us.
The ChiNazis will continue to fight 4GW. And the NEXT BIOLOGICAL ATTACK is going to be even uglier, unless we make sure they PAY THROUGH THE ASS FOR THIS ONE.
What next biological attack?
If No Such Agency confirms who did this, that’s more than grounds to decapitate the leadership of whatever government is responsible.
It’s not just an act of war, it’s an atrocity, a crime against humanity.
Well, based on the LAST NAZIS that needed removal, I think these ones may sacrifice millions to protect themselves.
But yeah. No need for another attack.
If we had the ‘Rods of God’ in the early 1940s, we would have dropped one right on Hitler’s bunker.
Or on his home (Berghof) in the Bavarian alps, or his field headquarters near Rastenburg (Operation Valkyrie), or wherever else he might go.
Total destruction, with practically no collateral damage.
The only thing we would be missing is Slim Pickens riding it down to the target.
When the WuFlu is over, Trump will have so many volunteers for the “Slim Pickens ride”, he won’t know what to did with them.
And we can have many of them in CHINA, if we start applying 4GW tactics NOW to turn the Chinese people against the EVIL CCP.
My chances of getting as much retirement as I had hoped have dropped significantly. I’ve never traveled to China before. Maybe my first and last trip there should leave a real impression on them.
Gotta get rid of the new Nazis. One way or another.
I’ve said this before, but it might be worth repeating…
If we have China 5 of our aircraft carriers and all the planes, equipment, etc. that goes with them, it would only be worth about MAYBE 10% of what they are worth to us.
Why?
Because having the equipment is one thing….the REAL trick is knowing how to EMPLOY it effectively and MAINTAIN IT….having the knowledge and experience of our warfighters.
When I say that the US military has “been sharpening it’s fangs for 20 years”, it’s because we have been employing and maintaining our equipment IN ACTUAL COMBAT for the past two decades. We know what works and what doesn’t work. They don’t….not at our level.
Moreover, equipment By itself doesn’t win wars, it tactics and logistics that win wars. And we have been have been employing our military in OVERSEAS, DEPLOYED warfare for decades now. Our war fighting logistics capability is the envy of every military in existence.
Neither China nor Russia can say the same on anything approaching our war fighting capabilities.
For example, do they have some decent fighter planes? Yeah, but their pilots aren’t anything close to the level our guys are on. They run on a centralized command and control system. The avg. Chinese soldier below the rank of senior Sargent can’t Even read a map or use a compass. Our privates…the lowest rank in the US Army… master these skills in basic training. Their fighter pilots are dependent upon being told where to go and what to do when they are in the air. Our fighter pilots are given autonomy, like trained attack dogs let off a leash. And no one is better, save perhaps the Israelis (because of how they train vs. us).
Neither China nor Russia has the capability….much less the know how….to wage a deployed, overseas fight here on US soil. And neither of them can wage a winning blue water war against our navy.
Russia could not do it during the old Cold War, and neither China nor Russia can do it today.
Have a nice day. 🙂

Perfect for taking out the Wuhan facility. Load it up with something that leaves no virus behind.

Patience. That is the key. At the right time, the right things will be done.

Airing now, Daily “Chinese Virus” Update, starring our Beloved POTUS, Donald J. Trump💕💕💕
Students – required testing cancelled, no interest on loans
Tax Day moved to July 15
Working w/Mexico and Canada to keep borders closed and secure, stop spread
Monitoring air travel closely, example – can’t fly to Mexico then try to enter US
Defense Production Act, put in gear last night, I think he said command center established??
Re: Defense Production Act, I think he said that was used to designate FEMA as the co-ordinator between state and federal response. Things that normally would be state responsibility are being served by federal govt via FEMA due to time urgency (eg some medical supply exchanges, etc.). President Trump stressed the goal is (as it should be):
-locally executed
-state managed
-federally supported
Another very impressive update from the team, and HUGE win by closing BOTH borders to anyone without ID & medical documents who doesn’t belong here legally. Also requiring Mexico & Canada to stop international incoming to their countries who then try to enter our country. Many illegals will give up, at least for now.
He later said they ARE working with companies Didn’t want to mention until he got their permission. He did say GE because they already publicly made announcement.
Yes, and President is meeting today with manufacturing companies to discuss possible needed retrofitting to meet medical equipment needs, etc. I am SO PROUD of our president and our industries ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Good. Cut out all the corrupt dem state govts
hearing that NY is now on lockdown, but can’t find confirmation
Cuomo ordered 100 percent of workforce to stay home
like no police? no grocery stores?
No he didn’t. He asked non-essential employees and businesses to stay home/close. That us not the same as 100% of workforce! 🤓
Yes, he went from 50% to 100% of NON essential workers. Thanks Miss Alison.
NOT lockdown and NOT shelter in place.
It is a non-essential Workers stay at home.
There are nuances to terminology….
okay…that makes sense…thanks…still can’t find anything on line yet…
President Trump announced it, and there was a Cuomo video on twitter. If it comes across my feed again, I will post it.
finally found an article, thanks.
posted it below…AND it seems Cuomo is proposing a new law requiring people over 70 to remain indoors…
Ground report now that I’ve put the perishables in the fridge, have steam showered, scrubbed the tub, neti-pot, and had to resort to a shot of Jamie to get the coughing stopped….
Okay, so, I have close access to 5+ grocery stores of local chain origin within a 5-6 mile radius. This am, I went to the one closest which is the sort of diverse demographically that honeycomb tripe is available in the meat case.
Anyway, the senior hour is 6-7 am, which I imagine is chain wide as the next door neighbor was returning from his trip at 6:45 am this morning when I let the dogs out.
There was a limit on 4 bottles of rubbling alcohol.
The same pattern that is reported here was seen in empty shelves there, although the soup aisle has been restocked lately. Only one brand of bread was really gone.
I saw more masks than normal for this time of year. People in the population about a couple miles north of me have severe asthma issues and do wear them year round.
We all tried to keep our distance.
I was able to get a box of medical gloves and a couple boxes of alcohol pads (which will come in handy), and a bottle of Pine-Sol.
Otherwise, I got two packs of my favorite applesauce, because that was all that was left.
How about y’all?
I will go out tomorrow alone without kiddo. His cough induced asthma has become productive thick yellow. I dont know what to do. Hes always sick. No fever. Im going to call for a video appt.
I hope youre over it soon. I need flour….and Easter candy.
I’ll tell you what, I feel A LOT better today. The lingering stomach issues are a problem, but the cough…I think it’s drainage from the head, actually.
By Monday, I should be closer to normal. These flu bugs have gotten A LOT worse over the years. I’m telling you.
still get plenty of rest!!!!
I’ll tell you what, my glutes are not happy with the amount of rest I’m subjecting them to.
the rest of you needs it tho…
Yes. And the other parts of me are like MUST…GET…THE…BROOM…AND…BUCKET! Next week, I’m going on a cleaning blitz. The house needs it.
I agree. Its why i stopped getting flu vaccines. I make mr gil bc hes in some dirty places already.
Your cough may ABSOLUTELY be your drainage. At that point, you need abx. Its likely going to turn to sinus infection OR your drainage down your throat will be too much bacteria for your stomach…increasing bm from solid to loose and pretty intense odor.
Neti pot and probiotics wont destroy that if it goes gi. Youd end up getting a z pack.
Just eat healthy and watch those symptoms. Im glad youre improved.
I am lucky. Kiddos md had 1 appt available since the video chat doesnt work. And ive got to get him a sinus xr. Weve been gaving a lot of cold wet rainy weather. Doesnt help him.
Consider “fess” nasal flushing bottles . Use salt in warm water and gently squirt up nose to flush and rinse sinuses. It takes a little getting used to.
We should do this after being out or if you get hay fever. Will wash out pollens and pathogens. Don’t use anything but fess ponder or salt as you can. Burn your mucous membranes. This is not the use for undiluted Lysol
Non-additive salt and baking soda to soften it. 1/2 teaspoon each per cup. One cup per nostril. we call it Neti-Pot here in the States.
The old Vick’s vapourrub isn’t good on chests .
It’s eucalyptus oil in Vaseline and you rub it on kids chest. Helps clear congestion
May be an Aussie thing. Eucalyptus oil I availabile.
Simmer a pot of water with a couple of drops plus lavender oil in same room as kid if you don’t have a steamer
Is good. Stupid autocorrect
With eucalyptus oil
I always heard it was good to rub on the heals of your feet…!?
That works too . Especially for kids who don’t like the smell or complain it burns the chest

Ground report from a friend: wearing gloves at the ATM does not work. Please, go prepared with wipes.
Wut?
Why doesn’t wearing gloves at the atm work, pray tell?
IDK. Could just be the ATM she was using.
I had no problems at the grocery this morning at U-Scan. I mean, I put my gloves on in the parking lot before I wiped the cart down. Not an issue.
I see some confusion here:
As in…The ATM touchscreen doesn’t work with gloves on.
Not that they won’t stop the virus if it’s on the ATM.
Of course, if you have to strip them off to use the ATM…then you need those wipes.
Touch screens work off heat. If the gloves block heat, screens no workie workie. I can’t operate my cell with gloves on.
Some smart phones won’t register if you are wearing gloves. The touch screen doesn’t work without the electricity from human skin?

CEO of an Arizona health system says suppliers are charging $7 for a mask costing around 58 cents….and they are desperate enough to pay it. I imagine that will be changed very quickly!
Where in the H-E-double hockey sticks did Sean Spicer find that suit? I mean, seriously, even Herb Brooks wouldn’t be caught in something like that.

Seriously , it’s a fuck you to journalists
whoa…Pres Trump is absolutely hammering the press. You can see them fuming. Jerks. They could care less about you and I.
They’re being exceptionally Bratty and Whiny today. Accusational, angling for gotchas is off the chain!! I don’t know how POTUS endures, I’m extremely annoyed.
How juvenile is it when they ask Pompeo how he feels that POTUS just called his dept Deep State?
Kansas professionally responded with the Southern equivalent of ‘God Bless You’.
He probably agrees that it’s full of Deep State pukes.
I hope to be able to watch just that part of it later.
They’re evil. So sick of these traitors.
“I’d like him to go back to the State Department, or as they call it, the Deep State Department.”
HA HA HA HA HA
President Trump on letting Pompeo have the podium.
So a thought on CA/ NY shut downs. Is this a play for more federal $$ ? Close everything burn it to the ground and ask for all the $$ you can.
PA did it before NY…we have 52 confirmed cases and one death–all non essential workers must stay home.
I suspect there is a lot to your thought
They are the epicenters of the breakouts. Regardless of all the crap they’ve done wrong with immigration and homeless, and the gimme more money aspect, if they can’t control outbreaks in these two states, it will spread rapidly to other states. We have to contain it in our most populous states.
Look at the numbers – CA and NY are the centers of fastest growth. WA has a huge outbreak and growth as well. NJ is growing fast as part of the greater NY area.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Nope Mom, CA and NY are not fastest growth… not even in top Ten…
In fact peeps are LEAVING both states as fast as they can pack
My home state of So Carolina is Number 6 (I hate that… will ruin it !)
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/slideshows/these-are-the-10-fastest-growing-states-in-america?slide=11
Problem for CA and NY is DIMs run both…
New York actually has the most cases in the country – 5715. California is third with 1060. And with their homeless population, it’s really going to get crazy before long.
Makes me wonder if these American socialists were TRICKED into upping their homeless problem by some other reason. This is typically how communism works – layers of deception. Betrayed by the ChiComs.
Maybe. Itll burn trust me unless the cv hysteria stopped. Too many different factions that want to look out for numero uno.
Matilda’s Law…Cuomo’s brain child in NY. over 70? you gotta remain indoors…
FTA
They also ban all non-solitary outside activity, like outdoor basketball games and other team sports.
“We have to do it, we have to be serious,” Cuomo said. “Everyone has personal freedom and everyone has personal liberty and I’ll always protect that.”
The governor said the restrictions will be enforced legally.
“These are not helpful hints,” he said.
Cuomo also said he was announcing Matilda’s Law to protect New Yorkers age 70 and over and those with compromised immune systems.
They will be required to remain indoors and, if they have visitors, those individuals will have to be re-screened by taking their temperature. Visitors should wear masks and adhere to social distancing.
Matilda’s Law is named after Cuomo’s 93-year-old mother.

Bs. How will he enforce it? Is he going to lock people in their homes to die? Theres 30K + LEO in nyc but no one is going to sit outside a home taking temperatures and restricting movement.
What are we Germany?
Next is there going to be a hotline to report on your neighbors?
We going to tell people to wear identifying arm bands?
These people are sick, no one can stop this , they wont be able to walk the streets, all have dual or triple meanings in play here.
agreed…don’t go after the criminals–nope, but Grandma wants a walk in the garden and BAM she’s arrested…
I spoke to my brother in Germany and he told me “Hamburg is closed down no one can get in or out.”
He said “there are other cities in Germany the same.”
What he found “strange trains still run and also busses therefore he things this is all humbug .”
People are not taking it serious because it does not affect them in their town.
Some people are resisting.
Personally being at home having no contact with people is ok with me. My husband has a cold and now I am cooking a big pot of chicken soup.
Please all stay safe .
relative in Germany did not mention anything at all. In Sweden family refuses to pick food up for my older aunt and she refuses to have it delivered! There’s no help them.
Im cooking soup tomorrow. Everyone here taking extra precautions.you stay well.
Cuomo is right. When this is over, the PERFORMANCE of governors will be compared by the numbers of dead in their states. He’s scared by the responsibility.
Nobody in America – or China – except the fucking highest Pelosicrats – were prepared for China to use BIOLOGICAL WARFARE.

Man, these media people are sounding like amateur choirs who just shout out objections and questions to the director without listening to the others who may be asking the same question.
Even Fauci was getting annoyed with them. Testing IS NOT EVERYTHING, WASH YOUR HANDS!!
They see me rollin’ 🙂 Even Pompeo could keep a straight face!
Could NOT keep a straight face. Geesh, these letters are small. Sorry!
I like that he’s hammering the inherited system that was obsolete and broken. Not that it’s sinking in with these little brats.
I like Dr. B’s pashmina today. She really looks tired.
Hope she is rotated off for a day or so from the conferences to give her a break like they have with others. I would HIGHLY recommend they STOP taking questions from reporters which prolongs the time they all have to stand at the podium AND use their voices & concentration. Prolonging the conference for FakeNewsers is awful burden on the team.
There isn’t a single reporter question worth the time. If they need CLARIFICATION before they push out their report ( uh huh 🙄) they can text/email it & the team could have someone who listened to entire conference respond with clarification.
I’d say for sure, except the President comes across as extremely credible and sincere unlike the fake media. Important for America to see.
It’s like that jacket she wore the briefing before last . They both looked like they’re no stick virus. Well at least something that appears stain resistant. 😎
Funny you mention the jacket fabrics. My Japanese friend said they put all their sweaters and like material clothing away and bought some tightly woven (“no stick virus”) jackets for health reasons.
I found this fascinating…the reasoning that loose fibers would trap and hold virus.
However, if you think about it I guess it’s a couple steps removed from wearing plastic bags or hazmat suits.
Maybe it will catch on here ..Fashion designers are undoubtedly working feverishly (errr… .. make that diligently) designing the latest in plastic garbage bag couture.
I made a decision at least 4 decades ago to wear only natural fibers, cotton, silk, linen, wool…
Cotton esp., because it breathes!
No plastic for me thank you…
Does anyone have a link to this press conference?
whitehouse.gov/link that’s the link every day.
Sundance always posts the entire video later in the day.
No that’s whitehouse.gov/live (sorry)
Sometimes I’ve been caught posting the WH link and then they take it down.
We have to wait until a little later when it comes up on youtube.
Sorry, guys.
Yeah. And I wish the link posted the expected start time each day 🤓

Not advocating for Red Cross; there are other centers, and blood is needed. We had some concerns yesterday so this answers some of them. Obviously only healthy younger folks should consider donating.
i honestly don’t see how this can stand. It would give Congress the right to invade anyone’s privacy and PUBLISH their private information without due process…
seriously, can another Congress person get Schiff’s records–not a House member but a Senator where the Repubs have the majority? I’m sure they can concoct a meaningful reason…
Never thought of this. Yikes!

Gov. Cuomo: 100 percent of non-essential workforce needs to stay home due to coronavirus
NEW YORK — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that 100 percent of the non-essential workforce in New York needs to stay home due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.
The announcement was made Friday morning during Cuomo’s daily press conference.

I was thinking about haircuts today. I really, really need a haircut, but I keep thinking I shouldn’t go out and do that, even though places are open.
They’re all closed here, so ponytail it is 🤓
my hairdresser is local here. She called me last summer when one of her children had a strep throat to see if I still wanted to keep my appointment or cancel. I trust her. she asked if I wanted to keep my appointment this past Tuesday and I said sure. as I came in I watched her wipe down the chair and the counters and she told me the box of shoe booties were right next to the door–along with antibacterial lotion.
Her sign said closed and she wasn’t taking walk ins any more right now.
I think it depends on the place you go and how much you trust your hairdresser.
Been doing my own hair for a year now… tired of hairdressers giving me a bad cut……………..
i searched for 20 years to finally find someone who cut my hair the way I wanted her too!
Add Mom and I to the list that needs a haircut! Pony Tail for now…. 🙁
One of the great benefits of having longish hair and lots of hair toys…just put it up.

If the Lord can’t understand why we’re not holding masses, then He is unworthy of our worship.
Or, if you find that too confrontational, how about this: Surely the Lord will understand why we aren’t holding Mass.
It’s not the Lord they’re worried about Steve… it’s their own Being… their own spiritual need. Especially in these times.
To me, he sounded worried about what the Lord would do if people didn’t go to Mass…not about what the effect on the people would be because of not going to Mass, itself. If I misread it then…whoops, my bad, sorry.
We’re SUPPOSED to strive and want to go to Mass. Some of us DO believe the Lord cares.
And…there are priests going rogue on this. 😎
Fine and good. That’s not the picture I got from this guy…he made it sound like a weekly being dragged off to tedium on pain of pain.
Well…unless you’ve got a darn good reason like travel or being sick, missing on Sunday is technically a sin.
So what happens then?
You go to Confession to reconcile with God, and receive the Sacrament of Penance. It’s called a reset in layman’s terms.
And if, for some reason, you fail to do that?
We don’t. Even if we forget one or two the next time we go to Confession, all sins are covered. Although, general Confession IS recommended. That means everything short of a physical.
NP… really difficult to understand what most peeps mean these days, right? This too shall pass.
Interesting comment. In the earliest Antidiluvian stories handed down from the Babylonians and Assyrians from the Akkadian’s and Sumerians there were several depopulation events, plague being one of them, the flood being the last, that were meant to wipe out mankind because the god Enil was tired with all the noise men were making, men not letting him sleep and thus visisted a serious of disastors on earth to destroy man. Mind you man is met with a question mark for at this time men had lives that lasted ages and it is unclear if iggi gods are the ones who met these disastors, but I digress.
To make this short and to Steve’s point one of the things that Eniki another god of equal rank also known as Ea did to stop help these disasters was to tell a man known as Ziusudra / Athrahasis (later Noah) to tell the people to with hold their prayers to the gods which worked for the first couple of disasters until the flood.
Short Background
Basic 7 gods were Anu, Ninhursag, Enil, Eniki, Utu/Samash, Nanna and Inanna/Ishtar. With Anu being chief but took a back seat to human affairs, his consort Ninhursag who wasn’t worshiped much at all, Enil the all powerful, Eniki/Ea god of wisdom and equal to Enil but Enil has the seat of power, Utu/Samash the sun god and lessor of those mentioned thus far, Nanna the moon god ranked equally with Utu and finally Innana/Ishatar warrior goddess, daughter to Nanna whom all feared.

i thought we were supposed to cease all elective surgeries/procedures to save medical supplies/ personnel at this time? what’s an abortion but a CHOICE???? if it’s a choice, it’s ELECTIVE…shut them DOWN!
They have some nerve!!! I hope and pray the appropriate authorities discover this and END IT! – in the name of Jesus – I pray – Amen
Amen!
They’ve declared abortions as essential. Sick people, huh?
ABSOLUTELY!
Well I guess we know which side old Beshear is on… he’s a DIM……………..
Yup!
Beshear likely gets money from prostitution/sex trafficking donors.

I like how they say you can “request” a refund. No promises to actually do it.
I guess now I have no way to get to Oregon to get me a puppy unless things change.
Gil, do you need a chill pill? Seriously, you seem over the top today pissed & panicked today. Maybe it’s difference between CA & here. I feel for you.
Most likely its a CA thing. Kid is sick, i have to pay for school and homeschool, husband is stressed and taking it out on me, ive had to start taking BP medicine, Ive become so stressed i have adrenal fatigue, and the option of ever doing anything for myself is pretty slim. A dog is a pleasant distraction.
Hey, try not to feel bad about the anxiety ..my daughter is feeling the same pressures and uncertainty. It’s a complete life altering thing. A lot of us are retired and don’t have the task of making it all work for an undetermined amount of time. This is a huge jump into a situation no family was exactly prepared for
You and I am close enough in area that we know the social climate. It is different when you as a conservative are already in a social island. Kiddos principal was a total witch when i asked about tuition discount. Unfortunately her family owns/runs the school, and the education itself is good. Many things like your daughter to juggle.
I still have positives of course. Im going for a walk with kiddo every day starting today. That will help! Stay well.
Hugs!
Yes a dog helps
And hounds are really good at it. 😉
Sorry to hear all that. Hope you can get some good rest from some of it soon 🤓
Ty. Really its hopefully temporary meds to get my adrenals some rest so they can function correctly. But itll take a few months. Just being able to sleep for 6hrs a night would help.
Drive.
Thought about it.
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) appears to be a really effective anti-viral for WuFlu.
People are now dying of WuFlu (or complications) at a 500 per day rate in Italy.
Has anyone here read reports of HCQ being liberally dispensed in Italy? I would think Italy would be a great place to deploy HCQ.
I take two tabs per day for rheumatoid arthritis, have been for years, and can’t remember the last time I have had the flu.

The closing on the stock market was a complete give-up. That’s what happens when you shut NY down.
and now Chicago too. Now I wonder if Mnuchen will let the market open on Monday. Delta is projecting they will lose 80% of their 2nd qtr revenue.
I would like someone to explain why it’s still open?
And no I don’t blame trump. I agree this economy will come roaring back. Heck even my neighbors keep saying it
“ I would like someone to explain why it’s still open?”
A: It is extraordinarily rare for the casino to close. Anyone who didn’t sell after 9/11 and hung in there made out just fine. Same for 2008.
Here in So Carolina we are into 2nd day of hi 80s… same expected tomorrow, with showers on Sunday which will help with the polllen…

Actually, no–essential to the black hats. CNN and PMSDNC are essential to them.
New York must have really jacked their testing up. They have 3,000 new cases today and are now over 8,300.

Amazing, at the 22 sec mark you can see some one wearing security guard garb standing there watching the whole thing with his hands in his pockets as they walk right past him for the door.
Meanwhile, if someone said something similar about this ass, we’d never heard the end of his faux outrage and how “offended” he was while calling such language reckless and dangerous.
You know….a leftist hypocrite.

Hmmmm.
Time to implement the RESEM plan.
Alison post about it from this article…
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-top-secret-plans-if-coronavirus-cripples-government-1492878
Because one guy close to pence has it?
That plan is for if the government becomes crippled, which has hardly happened.
We might have to do it at some point in the future but doing it because of this report is WAY premature.
Actually, if you read the article, and assuming it’s fairly accurate of course, there are multiple plans and stages of plan.
I was referring to the one that physically separates the Pres. and VP and their respective staffs.
Relax.
Flying to undisclosed locations on AF1 perhaps?
They thought she would never lose.
What they never considered is that if their cheating had succeeded, she would never have survived to inauguration day.
Right… but her clone would have… and those who voted for a vagina would never have known the difference. Right? (Pausing to adjust tin foil) a number of peeps think she died 9/16/16 just a few days after she ‘fell’ into the limo on 9/11

What’s the deal with ‘goods’ (physical items), regarding China virus?
If somebody has the virus (showing symptoms OR not), and they handle goods, and then you pick up those goods, is there no risk?
Suppose the stock boy at the Grocery is covered in China virus. What about all the items he put on the shelves?
Suppose your mailman has China virus.
Is your mail not contaminated?
Or can this China virus ONLY be transmitted if you are close to a living carrier, i.e., the China virus cannot survive outside a human host for more than a few minutes?
Depends on the surface touched. Paper and cardboard no more than 24 hrs. Sunlight and high temps kill it even faster. Hard surfaces like steel and aluminum the virus will linger longer….48 to 72 hrs.
Absolutely count on the stock boy at the grocers being strictly monitored. No grocer wants to be forced to stop selling and shut down when they are doing 300%x their normal business right now. The ones I’ve seen at my store are wearing latex gloves as they stock.
But like they say…(and I was saying last fall before this thing even hit)…
Wash your hands often.
Don’t touch your face, pick your nose, or rub your eyes. If you need to do one of these things, wash your hands first.
Soap, fat (lipids) will destroy the Corona Virus (aka Chinese Virus).
The virus is an encapsulated virus, with a double lipid (fat) ring surrounding it, giving it structure.
Dissolve or disturbe the rings, you inactivate the virus. Being a virus, it isn’t really alive (as it only consists of RNA, not DNA or cells). So soap and water are your friends.
Bacteriacides are also not universally effective. Alcohol is, as it attacke the double ring structure.
Lots of folks/sources out there who don’t know the difference (which is why folks want antibiotics to cure a cold or the flu or pneumonia (unless it’s bacterial pneumonia))…
Funny thing, if you’ve ever cut habanero peppers (or hotter) and accidentally rubbed or touched your eyes, or picked your nose (to add a little something extra to that salsa, eh?), you’ll never do it again, whether or not you’re cutting peppers…
Almost wondering if it would be useful to have a self-made bottle/bag/whatever of VERY soapy wipes, with a tad of alcohol to wipe off with after a visit to a store, etc.
One thing my wife (food/nutrition scientist) worries about is people being TOO CLEAN, and wiping out the “good bacteria” that populate our skin, etc., keeping the bad bacteria in check. Wipe them out, and all heck breaks loose…..
Thank you 👍
Don’t pick my nose?!?!
Alright, this madness now has gone TOO far…
Mail coming here is handled thusly:
Wash hands and dry thoroughly.
Put on fresh pair of disposable gloves.
Put on “outside” shoes.
Go to mailbox. Retrieve mail.
Bring mail back into the house and into the “mudroom” / laundry room off the kitchen door entrance.
Put mail on top of washer. It will stay there for the next 40 minutes.
Keeping the gloves on, remove “outside” shoes and spray them inside and out with Lysol spray.
Keeping gloves on, put on “house” shoes.
Properly remove gloves and dispose.
Wash hands and dry thoroughly.
The same is true with any packages coming to the house.
All delivery services have been told “No Signature Required”.
As for groceries, I have supplies for several weeks so am using them. Began stocking up early last month.
The procedure with the mail and packages is similar to what my late husband’s family did during the Spanish Flu Pandemic. Differences were that they used white cotton gloves that were washed in boiling water and bleach. Of course there was no Lysol spray in 1918 – 1920, but their shoes were washed inside and out with hot water and leather soap, then stuffed with clean rags and put in the sun to dry. He and his family survived.
Except in your scenario when you touch your houseshoes with your still gloved hands, you have effectively passed any contaminants onto your houseshoes. Better option is remove and clean outside shoes with gloves on, then remove gloves and wash hands before touching houseshoes

That doesn’t augur very well for the hoarders… 🙂
How ya doin’ Cuppa? Any luck shopping this a.m.?
Yep. Managed to bag (as it were) some paper towels (finally), other groceries for our “Taco de town” dinner tomorrow, but no TP, but my wife and son managed to get some at LIDL, who restock the paper products at 3:00 in the afternoon (go figure).
Tomorrow it’s up early and a trek to “Kaufland” (almost a warehouse-type store) to see what they’ve got. Hope and pray that Taco Shells are in that list…
Many shelves are emply, and it seems that store are having supply-chain issues, but not admitting it. I’m almost wondering if lack of supplies/components/ingredients from China is part of this dismal equation (dare I say, a DIM SUM???).
Parts of Germany (e.g. Bayern (Bavaria) have a complete travel ban, and exit shutdown(!) ). Other areas (e.g. Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart area, etc.) are contemplating total shutdowns, and will announce their decisions tomorrow (21st). All restaurants are required (in B-W) to shut down as of tomorrow, and public assemblies of more than THREE PEOPLE are forbidden, unless they are from the same family.
Considering that the inbred Moslem “families” (read: clans) have up to 250 or more members, I wonder what, if anything, the powers that be will do about them…. As their “Sharia Law” is above any other law, including the laws of Germany…..
Restaurants can still do take-out and delivery, so I’m hoping that the mom-and-pop and smaller restautants can survive in spite of all of this. We have a few local restaurants that have been around for decades… Would hate to see them go, as all that would be left then are “Kebap Shops”, which would be a huge loss for us, but a great boon for our “guests”, “refauxgees”, and Süd-Süd-Südländers, aka incipient terrorists…
Funny (not) innit, that the Greeks, the Italians, the Spaniards, most Asians, and many other “Gastarbeitern” (guest workers) integrated into German life and culture (indeed, I know some Italitans and Greeks who are “more German than the Germans”).
The only group that didn’t was the Moslems (Turks, etc.) who often hold dual citizenships.
No question of where their loyalties lie. Allah or bust…
Hope your shopping goes well. WRT small restaurants surviving… some have suggested we purchase gift cards from those in our individual areas we are worried about. That would work in Germany too I am sure… something to think about. God bless.
We have a new Taco Bell that is just opening…great timing. Of course, it’s drive through only right now. I thought I’d try to support them and “drive thru” tomorrow. Trouble is, I’ve never lived where there’s a TB. Any suggestions about what to order?
Their crunchy Tacos are great (ground beef, cheese, lettuce) or the “supreme” variant, with added diced tomatoes and (IIRC) sour cream. The shell is based on a corn tortilla.
Next, there’s the “soft taco”, made from a flour tortilla, and folded over. They have a grilled steak soft taco which is fabulous. Costs a little more, but is well worth it.
Then there’s the “double taco”, which is the crunchy taco inside of the soft taco (IIRC, it’s been a while). Those are pretty good too, but I prefer more Taco and less shell… As far as shells go, there are various Doritos variants…
Other options include Burritos, FRIED burritos, and a multitude of side dishes and soft drinks (MASSIVE calorie count). Be careful, as the burritos are calorie bombs… There is also a Mexican Pizza, various levels of Nachos, and Quesadillas… no Bell Beefer anymore, though… (you can probably ask – maybe they can do it – similar to a Sloppy Joe or a Chili Size…
Be sure to get plenty of their sauce packets, which come in mild, medium, and FIRE, and probably a couple of others (including the late, lamented green sauce 🙁 )…
Last of all, have a look at http://www.tacobell.com . You can even order ahead of time, and pick it up.
I can’t log on to the site anymore (STRONG geoblocking), but you should be able to. Have a look through there, and the nutrition datasheet.
In any case ENJOY!!!!! And have a crunchy taco for me (OK, three for my whole fam 🙂 )…
And ask if they can make you an “Enchirito”… discontinued, but some places still do it. Basically a cross between an enchilada and a burrito, with a nice sauce, and a few olive slices on top… great stuff…
I saw what you did there….
😆

Chock Full O’ Nuts has an interesting story behind it (which I forget, it’s been a Loooong time)… good coffee, though. Preferred Yuban, or, more recently, Fog Cutter (?) from Trader Joes – almost burned black, but not bitter…

Trump’s approval rating soars during handling of Coronavirus
The president’s approval rating now at 55 percent, shows new pol
I bet Barry is so thankful he isn’t President right now…imagine, he would have to look and sound intelligent…if he actually had any pressers. Nah…he:d find an excuse to have meetings in Palm Springs, on a Friday of course, so he could stay the rest of the weekend to play golf.
Okay…taking my snark hat off now, but darn if I don’t feel better for it! 🥴
You vent gal… always therapeutic… for the listener also!
I’m hearing even some committed leftists are getting sick of the politicization of the virus and leftist media attacks on POTUS. This thing has the potential to be the last straw for a lot of folks.
Meanwhile….
Leftist pontificators are now claiming this is going to be the end of PDJT. Just like the stock market would crash if he was elected, or the Mueller SC would prove his guilt, or impeachment was so necessary we had to do this NOW (and then Piglosi sat on the papers for weeks), etc., etc.
They’ve been saying “This is the end of Trump!” since 2015, and will continue to do so all the way through 2025 when they’re building the Presidential library.
With all luck on the old UN property in Manhattan. 😉
(That’s a personal fantasy.)
Word.
Paging Bluto…..wait, wrong tree😎
You rang?
Once upon a time, in a 🌳 far away, there was an extremely well maintained list of all the things that were FINALLY going finish Trump, once and for all…..I can’t imagine how long that list would be now🤔
One of my HS friends who is not political at all keeps asking how it is possible Trump keeps throwing himself campaign rallies in the White House Press Room.
She’s NOT a fan of Trump, so I’d say we’re winning if that is being recognized.
Uh, no this is NOT good.
She’s accusing him of campaigning when he should be saving the country.
Considering the source, I wouldn’t worry about it. Lovely woman, but not the most sense.
I doubt she’ll sway anyone, but the point is, she herself isn’t being swayed, and eventually someone who DOES have some influence on the public will start to say that.
We’ve been complaining about the left politicizing this crisis…how much time before they start screeching that Trump is doing the same thing (the big orange hypocrite)?
Well he got a real boost in the polls today…

Anon speculates on the big picture with projects Looking Glass and Pegasus
Zoe, 4 images follow that I can’t copy… in essence saying that POTUS has probably known (Looking Glass project) Cabal would cause a pandemic and has spent the last three years preparing us as best he could…
There’s an app for that….
Ground Report. The local “We Buy Houses” vultures are back to pestering me. Of course the usual scammers are coming out like cockroaches as soon as there’s a financial crisis. Wonder when the payday loans and “We Buy Gold!” people will pop up in my neighborhood. Probably around the same time the local media starts printing out the “You can save money by not buying Starbucks coffee every day!” “news” articles.
Wait….when did they STOP petering you, and what’s your secret??
They stopped the daily calls and texts for a week when the WuFlu panic started, but now even near martial law won’t deter them. I hope my strong words about them sucking at their jobs for not buying when the market was cheap finally gets them to leave me alone.
Damn. I was hoping you had a secret.

I gotta be honest. I don’t want the curve to flatten in WA, OR, CA, or NY.
Does that make me a bad person?
A lot of us on this site live in those states. There are more red counties in those states than blue ones. The big metropolitan areas control those states.
Of course, Linda. Should have written “PART OF ME doesn’t want….”
Don’t want to throw the babies out with the filthy bath water.
If the big cities turn into long-term pustules of the virus, it’s BAD for everybody.
The PAYBACK MECHANISMS of the Golden Rule becoming evident now.
We are now DEEP in WWG1WGA. 😎
Save RBG to save as many as we can!
We need this over and done with … yesterday!!
Speaking of scammers, my phone was blissfully silent for weeks back in January, but the spam calls are on the uptick, two or three a day and they sometimes reuse numbers (and the robot voice leaves a callback number, so they’ll be traced and arrested soon one hopes). These are almost all from other area codes; no more people calling from my exchange pretending to be neighbors (I have a cell phone, jackasses!).
I had a number of robocalls this week as well.
I get a number of them DAILY.
I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize or already have stored.
I got a call from the opposite coast a few weeks ago offering to buy my house. The local vultures are bad enough, but now we’ve got national corporations getting in on this.
Carpetbaggers.
As old as the nation itself.
Would be interesting if you responded, with the name and address of a local DEMONicRAT…
Popcorn needed, no doubt 🙂
In my case, I have no idea what the callers want. I simply ignore the calls. However some of the assholes leave a voicemail (their robot voice just starts talking when the phone picks up after six rings, and keeps on talking even though it’s a voicemail prompt, eventually leaving a message “tail” after it starts recording; but all that tail contains is the robot voice repeating the calling number twice and urging me to call back–no indication as to why I should want to do so even if I was a chump.
My favorite are the “pay off your student loans” offers. I did that the summer of 1990 and paid cash the rest of the way while I worked a full time job and went part time. Where did they get my number?
Never had a student loan.
I also have beater cars with over 200K miles on them so they won’t qualify for any extended warranties.
I do have a credit card, though, so the original “Rachel from Cardmember Services” could have been speaking to me (ha, ha).
Yeah, well, I’m the oldest of five and I started out at a Big Ten school my parents could NOT afford at the time.
Our house at one point could have been an advertisement for rent-a-wreck since there were so many of us. My dad used to scour the used car lots in South St. Louis for decent $2K cars for my brothers to wreck. And then there was the Autorama which was an auction for used cars that would ride and drive and the air blows cold. One came from there.
Ah, the memories….
Now, when a car gets totaled, my dad buys a new one from my cousin who’s a GM at a BIG dealership.
Is that so??
How close are you with your cuz?
Close enough. In fact, I’m closer with him and his siblings than I am with just about anyone else in the family. We more or less shared grandparents. That cousin’s grandmother passed away in 1955 an my grandmother served that role in many ways. His birthday is the day before mine, and we used to celebrate them together.
Close enough?

The last time one of these “we’ll buy your house” scammers sent me a flyer in the mail (this was early in January), I called the number back that was listed. A person answered and started to give me the “hard sell”. I held the phone off one side and let them finish their spiel. Then I said, “Perhaps we can do business if your company comes up with the $400,000 cash that I want for my house”. The person said that’s not how they work. I said, “What you do is this: you give a rock-bottom cash offer, they owner takes it and moves out, then you do some cosmetic fixes to the house and re-sell it for a profit. Have a nice day.” Then I rang off.
Haven’t gotten a single flyer since then.
Yeah, well those cost money to mail.
It doesn’t cost them a damn thing to call you, and under some circumstances they might even make money from calling you even if you don’t answer so that plague on the landscape won’t go away until Trump sends special ops after these people and puts bullets in their foreheads…with plausible deniability of course. (Hint, hint, PDJT, if you’re reading this.)
Getting rid of spam calls would probably boost his favorable ratings 10 percent.
This is wonderful, IMO.

Wow.
I did not realize this guy was in direct comms with Gen. Flynn.
Outstanding.
Scott, It seems that we are being trained on the fast track now. I think you will enjoy this also.

Okay, so, IDK about anywhere else, but since EVERYTHING here is closed, there are various venues making efforts to cheer the people. Anheuser-Busch announced today they’re turning the holiday lights back on (this IS impressive. I mean the brewery is like driving onto Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.) so that people can drive through.
There’s also a drive in movie theater that is offering family friendly fare as of April 3. Seriously, it’s going to be JAMMED.
This is starting to provide great material for a novel.
grandson is taking gf to drive-in tomorrow night… all their friends are going…
he’s made a video that will show before the movie starts… of him asking her to marry him… she knows nothing.
I was supposed to go… but can’t now of course.
I’m sorry you can’t go, but talk about a piece of Americana in family history!
I know, right! I’m tearing up just posting about it.
((( PR )))
(hopefully, there will be a video of THAT!)
😉
I have given instructions Nor’easter! Grandma’s command means something!
Good thinkin’ (((PR))) !
😉
Genius.
I’m impressed.
Well, hopefully it won’t be too public…so she won’t feel put on the spot.
A number of years back someone arranged for an entire football stadium to see his proposal–and she didn’t want to marry him. Ooops.
May your grandson have better luck!
Oh it’s a sure thing Steve, they’ve talked about getting married, even where they’re going to live… he just hasn’t proposed ‘officially’ and it will be a surprise for her, but no chance she says anything but yes… they’ve known each other forever…
Well, here’s a clever one I remembered, and managed to dig up.
TY Steve… that was so special, and you’re right, clever.
Can you maybe go in a different car – incognito? 🙂
In any case, that’s really cool 😎
Ohh I can’t go because of the coronavirus… he had already arranged for one of their friends to bring me… but I can’t risk the contact… they’ll all be out of their cars and celebrating while the vid is playing… breaks my heart…
You can get a reaction video of her any event.
Better than being there, because you can watch it over and over.
Just tell him you want one of his friends to shoot a “reaction video”. He’ll know what you mean.
*at the event
Oops. I see you are already way ahead there. Sorry
have done… thanks FG&C … and I hadn’t thought about being able to watch over and over! Makes me feel better about not being there… thanks!
Is it real, or memorex? Not sure what to believe anymore.
Satirical memorex meaning, it’s probably real.
Go about your business.
He’s pranking imho
That’s what I’m thinking, but still…as we used to say flattery is a form of approval.
He’s awfully well versed on the terminology.
Too much trolling..the Masonic sharpie tatt..”extremely reliable *chan”, must be true if it’s on the internet
Yep. Sarcasm fail.
Besides, whose to say his Dad has told him anything and instead kept his own idiot son in the dark?
Speaking of….ever since the movie “Weird Science” came out whenever I hear the name “Chet” I can’t help of thinking of Bill Paxton’s character who is turned into a POS for being a POS…
Oh, man. The 80s.
I watched strictly for the young Kelly LeBrock, but Chet stayed my memory because even back then I knew Bill Paxton was character acting genius.
Yeah, he’s being satirical.
Now whether he’s being satirical because he’s irritated with the yahoos for believing such silly things (i.e., he actually believes it’s silly) or whether he’s being satirical because it IS true and he’s attempting reverse psychology…is another question entirely.
In other words this is something that could point either way.
The tat will probably be gone the next time he takes a shower. (Though there’s an assumption in that sentence that may not hold up.)
Could be. Although, Sharpies usually take a few scrubbings. (We used to write lane and heat assignments on kids’ arms in swim meet bull pens. Sharpie ink sticks around for a while.)
LOL..so it’s a real tattoo…
Not really the kind of thing people like Chet should be joking about right now, but apparently Chet considers himself a funny guy. 😁

Military vehicles in Baltimore. Anons say those are crowd control devices under the tarps. Riots expected?
Perhaps not expected, per se, but rather prepared for.
It’s Elijah Cummings’s old district after all.
To say nothing of the recent unrest there… (Well, OK it was during the Obola misadministration.)
Ahhh yes. The Obola admin….
….the first and online to actually IMPORT Ebola virus to the North American continent for the 1st time in the history of that lethal virus.
Yes, in the district where one mama had no problem beating the crap out of her son on national television.
May there be more like her.

With all of the money Chairman Burr saved in the #SenateSelloff, maybe he can reimburse the legal bills innocent people incurred during the phony Senate Russia investigation he led?
I live alone to begin with…and now I’m sitting on my front porch having a glass of merlot…overlooking my neighborhood which is usually moderately active…I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this quiet…it’s creepy…
…a solitary airplane can be heard overhead…
…somewhere…off in the distance…a dog is barking…
I feel like…
I heard many more kids on our walk today. Lots of people at home working in garages, on cars, or playing. Businesses half full, but people still out.
The quiet takes getting used to.
I’m all for things being quiet…but when it’s forced, well, that’s a different matter. I guess I should just enjoy it while it lasts.
Make a game out of it. See what you hear and when. We enjoiy the beeeze and birds!
Shortest science fiction story ever:
The last man on earth sat in a room.
There was a knock on the door.
The End
Sequel ?
I have the film on DVD…maybe I’ll dig it out and give it another watch.
I didn’t realize today was Barron’s birthday. It’s also my baby brother’s birthday (well, he turned 50, so not really a baby anymore. 🙂 )
