This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KMAG/KAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
We’ve been waiting for it:
It’s the Enemedia who should be worried:
And the ChiComs, whose propaganda nozzles are being exposed:
Along with their pet Donkeys:
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.
With the Storm upon us…please remember to Pray for our President.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Invidious
Invidious is an adjective that means ‘resentful, envious, or obnoxious’ or calculated to produce ill will, animosity, resentment or envy.
Used in a sentence:
The Democrat Socialists spew their invidious demagoguery to sow division and class warfare.

Throwing this right at the top!!!
Amen!!! I was just coming to post it. I really HATE when people rush to post something here that they have not validated. SgtReport quoting an unnamed source in a tweet is NOT a validated statement. Please think twice before posting the “alarm” stuff that you have not corroborated.
Remember we are at war. Please don’t help the enemy.
AMEN!!!
First I’ve ever seen the NSC say anything directly to the people. Rather dramatic step.
Indeed!!
The Lancet: Global case fatality rate from coronavirus settles in at 5.7%, or 57 times higher than the flu… death rate skyrockets to 20% when hospitals get overrun
Real estimates of mortality following COVID-19 infection

“We re-estimated mortality rates by dividing the number of deaths on a given day by the number of patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection 14 days before. On this basis, using WHO data on the cumulative number of deaths to March 1, 2020, mortality rates would be 5•6% (95% CI 5•4–5•8) for China and 15•2% (12•5–17•9) outside of China.
Global mortality rates over time using a 14-day delay estimate are shown in the figure, with a curve that levels off to a rate of 5•7% (5•5–5•9), converging with the current WHO estimates. Estimates will increase if a longer delay between onset of illness and death is considered.
A recent time-delay adjusted estimation indicates that mortality rate of COVID-19 could be as high as 20% in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak. These findings show that the current figures might underestimate the potential threat of COVID-19 in symptomatic patients.”
Too bad that’s just a bunch of bullshit. True mortality rates are calculated against the whole population, not the ones who catch it. Those stats are only for medical people to determine the efficiency of their treatments.
Obviously, we are now in phase 2 of Project Terrify the Normal People. Notice they don’t tell you the likelihood of actually catching the disease. Why not? Because it’s far less than the flu which has already killed thousands this season.
It’s even worse than that. They’re not putting number of cases in the denominator, but number of diagnosed cases.
They don’t diagnose it unless someone has it bad enough to go to the doctor.
So what we have at best is the percentage of serious cases that turn out to be fatal.
However, I do think it’s normal for them to calculate lethality based on number of cases, not the total population, because the question is generally how likely you are to die provided you catch it.
The Black Death that hit Europe wiped out 50 percent of the population. It came in three forms and it was 100 percent fatal (to those that came down with that form) in two of those forms, the other form was “only” 80% lethal. On the other hand, who knows how many were exposed and had their immune systems squash it flat in short order, before initial presentation.
My son is going nuts bored. Its only day 2, and we went out yesterday. Cant wait to homeschool all week. And then 2 weeks of spring break but everything is closed. He wont even be able to get library books. Now that aint right.
How old is he?
How’s the weather?
Do you own

I have the dangerous noys book..and the follow up! Good ideas..lol.

Gil, little dudes love to play with cardboard boxes.
Have you thought of that?
The bigger the better.
But you can use smaller ones like building blocks to create forts.
Around here, stores have a ‘box bin’ out behind their building, with all sorts of different sized boxes.
Free for the taking.
If you’re worried about them being contaminated…you could spray them down with disinfectant before you give them to him.
Oh ill find something to do. I just called the library and theyre closed til April 30. How are peopke to do research for high school or college? Thank goodness we have books but 6 weeks is a long time. All parks and rec classes et al all closed but not sure if parks are too.
Can he do Starfall? My one nephew loves it. It’s academic, and treats everything like a game.
Ill look it up.3 weeks so far home, could be indefinite, plus the library is closed through April 30.
Wasn’t the Lancet involved in some quackery recently?
What part of the last 30 years are you calling “recently”? And the answer is “yes”.
Remember something in the last couple of months about saying how the respected Lancet was now involved in putting out some junk stories. Might of had to do with Vaping but I have Vaping on the head so it might of been something else, but they were definitely being called out.
Likes that “yes” btw. Sounds rather definitive 🙂
There are no reliable numbers right now.
The outbreak will be slightly different in every locale/demographic until it’s done.
Then there is this…not sure what to make of it.👇

SGT Report:
Just received this news from a source who claims:
“Military friends in DC just got out of 2-hour briefing. In 48 to 72 Hours under the Stafford act POTUS will order 2-week mandatory quarantine for the nation. Stock up on whatever you need to survive this, now.”
#Praytriots
Wheatie, don’t you read the comments first? Wolfmoon already posted that it’s a hoax.
Besides, do you think DJT would do that to us?
Yes, I do…that’s why I presented it the way I did.
And No, I don’t think PDJT would that to us…unless he had a damn good reason.
Sorry for being snappy.
Ah…looks like SGT Report has deleted that tweet now.
😏
I’m going to be BRUTAL WOLF on all of these: NSC, SGT, ME, and VSG.
YMMV
This is the NSC tweet:
“Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE. There is no national lockdown. @CDCgov has and will continue to post the latest guidance on #COVID19. #coronavirus”
This tweet will age perfectly, but hyper-literally. What does it mean?
“Text message rumors of a national quarantine are not true”
“There *IS* no national lockdown”
Both statements ONLY mean what they literally say. To me, they mean no currently planned national quarantine. Is it still an option? Yes. Might it still happen? Yes.
Yes, it sure doesn’t say “there WILL BE NO national quarantine, now, does it?
Gotta keep those options open. Which he DID in answering the same, pushy, loud question from FAKE NEWS at today’s presser!!! Loved the way he stretched it out to add SUBTEXT before giving the perfect answer AGAIN at the end. Our VSG!!! <3
I’m glad you caught it. I got the same rumor on a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend verbal link headquartered in s***-sidewalk central (who would reasonably be the LAST to know). I considered the possibility that it might be a distant rumor of a real thing — like a sanctuary city cleanup. But taking the whole enchilada in one gulp is preposterous.
No. Don’t think so. POTUS just told folks to relax and cut back on shopping.
SGT Report put out some real crap a couple weeks ago about quarantine centers being set up.
Don’t know much about SGT Report or Politico record for accuracy. For me, they are crap.
AND, Wolf first post debunks SGT Report thoroughly.
Yep…and looks like he’s deleted that tweet now.
Politico is LEFT – everything they post will be biased and slanted and they have no problem with untruths.
Lot of posts on 4chan right now claiming the same thing. Someone over there with a FEMA uniform is currently claiming, “Zones 2 9 & 10 are about to be activated.” That’s the entirety of the West Coast and NYC. This print-out going around claims a big White House announcement at 10:30 am Monday.
I don’t know what to believe right now.
Pence announced next task force briefing will be in the morning instead of 5pm. POTUS schedule has him in teleconference calls with G7, then Governors, then lunch w/ VP tomorrow. Of course everything can change. But yeah, there’s no way POTUS would do mandatory quarantine when all the stores are empty and temporarily struggling w/re-supply because of the tp hoarders.
In the past 24 hours, my area became a “shut down everything but the supermarket” zone and the CDC started advising against gatherings for 8 weeks. I want to believe, but things are moving rapidly.
Read letter carefully, that is an NBC internal memo. Means nothing to me.
It’s the first I’ve heard of the 10:30 am White House presser.
Did UpChuck get his brother Chip a job?
Why would the Trump administration use NBC news as a conduit?
Sadie, I think this is some sort of practical joke. It would be on official stationary, or an email with less formal headers.
What the fuck is a FEMA uniform? Is it brown with a leather bandoleer?
I’m already thoroughly pissed off at these doomers and their black fairy tales.
That’s yesterday’s date on the uniform (3/15). It could be some prankster with an old FEMA uniform. Hard to tell with 4chan and all of these rapidly-escalating closures, though. The rumors over there are getting wild.
WOW…big article from Natural News pretty much confirming the FEMA thing. Supposedly there’s a plan for the National Guard to start taking over food distribution in NYC and West Coast (“Zones 2 9 & 10).” Could end in rationing in those areas if things get bad enough.
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-03-15-federal-government-to-control-grocery-distribution-national-guard.html
Might be a reaction to Union activity. Unions acting to save themselves from the dreaded Wuhan Virus because the politicos told them it was a good idea. Either that or the Dem States are going to suicide their people to get Trump out of office and Trump says no your not.
Just guessing obviously.
iirc POTUS did say he MAY restrict travel (air?) to certain parts of the country if the situation warranted it…he said that early on…
Gov. “Idiot” Inslee (dumocrat party – WA) has ordered all bars, restaurants, closed except for takeout & delivery.
Welcome to recession, fellow Washingtonians.
He keeps making himself more and more “popular” doesn’t he? Maybe he’ll be un-elected this time.
If the dems are smart (strategically I mean), they’ll primary him, so the voters can be suckered into electing a different Dem instead.
But they’re not….
Oh, they can be very tactical when they want to be.
They averted a republican takeover of the state house here by advising the target of a recall effort to resign. She took one for the party and did so. Dems got to appoint her replacement that way.
The proposed carbon tax measures here were averted by a well conducted and planned campaign of resistance. Enough Dims caved that want to keep their jobs. Those are the ones that need to be watched, can’t be trusted.

Trump 2020 Convoys might be fun. Have one every day at the same time, drive for an hour and vary the route in the local area and see how many are joined up by the end of the week.
I like that idea!!! I have a slew of Trump $0& US flags that fasten onto car windows as well as magnetic bumper stickers. I planned to hand them out while I waited in line at a rally, but now I need to figure out a Plan B. I like your idea and will send it to our state & county GOP peeps.
Wheatie, Always enjoy Monday’s. Polar bear gets me going, albeit slowly at first, but, with a smile. Enjoy the meme’s. The AOC donkey triplets cracked me up big time!!!

Excellent music selection today!
Good idea, Vol! …Great picture!

And glad you like the music!
😌😊
I was only able to snag one roll of toilet paper at the store today…but I should be okay for a few days…
If you can’t find TP, go to the automotive department and snag some Scott‘s ‘Rags in a box’ – Inside trade secret. Friend bought yesterday, says they’re soft and flush fine, he would know. Saw on Twitter today, word’s getting around.
Good to know…and afterwards I can check my oil.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. 😃
A self mutley?
…at least you only gave yourself a single 😉
I went to buy a bidet attachment or 3. No one has any. All gone. Still no tp. Now no bread, milk, eggs, meat. Crazy town. Oh and I learned to use 2 shotguns today cuz no one gets my last tp roll or my food.
I understand that you can subscribe to the New York Times and they will deliver a bundle of suitable paper to your door every day.
…that will probably give you a terrible rash.
Appropriate application, but OUCH!! Besides, all the plumbers are quarantined!! Maybe send to snowy states for use as fire starters??
The better use for that fishwrap is firestarter…but who knows if burning stuff is legal where you live.
“flush fine” probably means they go down the toilet well. But, since a latex binder is used they may not dissolve properly in your septic system, if you have one, resulting in a clogged system and mucho $$$ repairs.
SOS has been posting prayers and scripture all day
Thanks Volgarian. Pompeo is another one who is shadowbanned from my twitter feed, so I appreciate knowing this about him. The worship service that President Trump recommended Sunday was so uplifting. I hope he will choose a different church each week that we can attend virtually with him. It meant so much to know POTUS cares that much about us. And Pompeo too.
Yes it does! I posted the scripture one on yesterday’s thread…will bring it over if you can’t find it
Thanks! I was planning to reread that thread anyway so I will find it. Sweet dreams, Vol 🥰🇺🇸
You too!

This is a very inexpensive home remedy that is simple to make.
Gail, thank you for all the good resources you’ve collected.
Your recent post mentioning beets reminded me.
Been using this recipe from “Nourishing Traditions” cookbook for a traditional fermented beet drink for over a decade now.
Helps support kidneys, blood health, modulate inflammation, etc.
https://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2014/03/beet-kvass-a-cleansing-medicinal-tonic.html
The health benefits of lacto-fermented food are undeniable. As chopped beets mix with sea salt, the sugar and starch convert to lactic-acid perfectly preserving the kvass. The finished drink is full of beneficial enzymes, friendly probiotic bacteria, and increased vitamin levels. Regularly eating lacto-fermented vegetables, or incorporating beet kvass into your diet, will promote healthy gut flora, and greater absorption of nutrients from your food.
note: I use 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar instead of whey.
helpful hint with children: when we were first drinking Kvass son wasn’t interested…until I put mine in a wine glass and a little for him in a wine glass and said he could only drink it if he was VERY careful. Was he old enough to drink it…?? He embraced it with gusto at that point, standing very tall, walking very carefully and sitting so straight up…cute – thought he was all grown up to drink from such a glass! 🙂
Getting him to drink a warm cup of bone broth? MUCH bigger struggle but nothing a chart and a gigantic lego set sitting on top of the fridge as a reward couldn’t conquer.
You’re a clever Mom… 😉
The flavor is very different for those who don’t grow up with traditional ferments. The lego reward is brilliant!
I tend to mix it (lemon juice, citrus oils, etc.) and then add water to dilute.
THATS ALOT OF FRIKKIN MONEY STOPPAGE!!!!
No kidding!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I must say, that was a VERY boring debate. Biden lied when he said I want to cut Social Security and Medicare. That’s what they ALL said 4 years ago, and nothing happened, in fact, I saved Social Security and Medicare. I will not be cutting, but they will. Be careful!

Sometimes #Love is beyond words……
Zoe, it’s a short video of two animal friends, a dog and a miniature horse.
The dog is resting his head on the stable gate of his friend, the little horse…and they are nuzzling each other and keeping each other company.
When I would take my horse out for a trail ride every day, the stable owner’s golden retriever would jump up and lick my mare on the nose. My mare would lower her head and give the golden a sniff and then we would all go off on our trail ride.
Goldens are such lovely loving dogs and are great around horses. As a kid I had a golden who would go on trail rides with my OTB gelding.
Catholic Qtreepers may have heard of Alexander Tschugguel, the young man who threw the Pachamama idols into the Tiber River to the delight of Catholics all over the world. Unfortunately, Alexander, an Austrian has contracted the coronavirus, and is currently ill with a very high fever. He, his wife and friends, are asking for prayers.
Dr. Taylor Marshall suggests to Catholics to pray an extra rosary for Alexander:

That’s VERY interesting.
If Trump would have listened to these people, I think their plot might have worked.
Yes academic models are their newest plaything. Ask the climate scientist.
The reality is scientist these days rely too much on the models and too little on the science, let alone common sense.
Academic models have been around for decades. Most people with common sense ignore them since there is very little reality built into the theories that populate academic models.
Found this little gem tonight.
There are a bazillion versions of this classic by various artists and ensembles, but how about this
lineup…😳😮😳
George Harrison (song writer): Voice & Guitar
Eric Clapton (original lead guitar): Guitar (a Les Paul)
Jeff Lynn: Guitar
Ringo Starr: Drums
Phil Collins: Drums
Ray Cooper: Percussion
Mark King: Bass
Elton John: Piano
Jool Holland: Piano
Anyway, this most definitely qualifies as a super group, cranking out one of the most iconic rock tunes of all time.
Quote:
“On 6 September 1968, during a ride from Surrey into London, Harrison asked Clapton to play guitar on the track. Clapton, who recognised Harrison’s talent as a songwriter, and considered that his abilities had long been held back by Lennon and McCartney, was nevertheless reluctant to participate; he later recalled that his initial response was: “I can’t do that. Nobody ever plays on Beatles records.” Harrison convinced him, and Clapton’s lead guitar part, played on Harrison’s Gibson Les Paul electric guitar “Lucy” (a recent gift from Clapton), was overdubbed that evening. Recalling the session in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton says that, while Lennon and McCartney were “fairly non-committal”, he thought the track “sounded fantastic”, adding: “I knew George was happy, because he listened to it over and over in the control room.” Harrison recalled that Clapton’s presence also ensured that his bandmates “tr[ied] a bit harder” and “were all on their best behaviour”.

If you get a chance to see it, Mark Levin interviewed Michael Pilsbury(China expert, adviser to POTUS) tonight. Excellent info on POTUS‘ attitudes/approach/policies to China on virus, media, trade deals, space, military, OBOR, relationship w/ Xi, etc. It was really good.

Yes, Michael Pillsbury is a good guy.
He always makes a lot of sense!

But then…it’s the Denver Int’l Airport.
The weirdness is strong there.
But I’m sure that there is probably a perfectly good explanation of it.
Probably.
Yep. Our airport is one of the nicest to travel through, but their choices of artwork is beyond creepy.
I was in the airport with friends a couple of months before it opened to the public. Everything was operational but we were the only people in it. Even got a tour of the control tower and watched a tornado out the windows about 2 mi away. The road to get to the airport had zero cars on it so we were doing a ‘bit’ more than the speed limit. It was one of the most fun adventures we’ve ever had and we still talk about it 25 yrs later.
Here’s the explanation of the recording.

I assume America Soma was as far West as they dared go for an American Coin with bats on it. Apparently we need to clean out the US Mint too.
Please do not blame the poor bats. They eat a great quantity of insects and have a place in the eco-system and NOT IN A BOWL OF SOUP!
And yes I LIKE bats.
in the summer, our deck near the glass doors are littered with moth and insect wings. the bats love that area for nightly feastings on bugs. then the little birds come in the morning to tidy up any remnants. I don’t care for them in the house (happened so many times we have a BAT NET) but outside, they have their jobs to do!
One got caught in my closet once. It ended up in my parents’ room, so we opened the windows with no screens, and turned off the lights before closing the door. It left. Scary time, though, when you’re not expecting it.
AGREED!
feeling better???
Ye, thank you. More myself, but my stomach is still off. Thankfully, it’s just me and the dogs this week.
still praying for you and all who’ve been sick!
Were good with the bats. Besides it is possible that this Quarter might be the only payment that Q’s is willing to accept for his work.
Bat Guano/manure is a large part of the economy in that part of the world.
I actually rode/hid in the hold of a bat guano ship from Korea to Japan when my Mother, sister and I were being evacuated as the Korean war broke out.
wow, that must have been terrifying!
Very.
That story should be made into a post. It sounds to me like it would also make a great family legend, to be passed down through the generations.
My poor mother – my younger sister was a toddler and I was a hysterical 4 year old. The bathroom was above and she had to climb a ladder holding my sister while encouraging me to keep climbing because I was crying due to fear of heights. Turns out in the dark in Korea, she had packed all our outgrown clothes, so she had no clean clothes for us when we got to Japan. The Japanese put us up in a gorgeous hotel with amazing gardens and treated us like royalty.
Might have known that Soros figured into this somehow…

• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care for illegals is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• Politicians who say that the President is not above the law put illegal immigrants and themselves above the law.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• Illegals don’t pay taxes, but they get tax refunds.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.
• Voter suppression is bad, but not allowing the President to be on the ballot is good.
• Fourth-of-July parades are bad, but parades of women dressed as vaginas are good.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
* And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists.”
This is why I say that the left is mind-fracked into BACKWARDS THINKING IN GENERAL. They have been trained that non-obvious and paradoxical answers are automatically “smarter”. It’s a magnificent form of brainwashing. They TRY to make the non-working answer work. It’s very weird.
They institutionalized this into the schools with Common Core.

STUin SD tweeted that yesterday… it’s makin the rounds, which is a good thing!
THAT ORIGINATED HERE – Stu Cvrk@STUinSD
This is an interesting tweet. I used a PICTURE because I don’t want people to reply and get him into arguments. I want to leave him completely alone for reasons I will make clear later.
If it looks like the left starts “setting corona fires”, then this boy will bear scrutiny.
Dearest Wolfie, other authors, and contributors,
Need your input, please.
Today is the last day of the 7th weekly Coronavirus thread.
I’m ready for another update.
What I have been doing in the past is to go through all the comment section and cull info from the past week and add to the basic thread.
This creates timelines for each section. Problem is, we’re ending up with something unwieldy and confusing. It looks like a book instead of a blog.
Therefore, I believe it is time we go to a DAILY THREAD type format for Covid/WuFlu as well as a regular daily thread for these extraordinary times.
What say you?
Received an answer from Wolf already. Think that’s the FASTEST answer I’ve ever received from a boss.
Thanks Wolf.
Daily threads for COVID19 beginning NOW.
I was just watching notifications and BOOM – DAUGHN IS UP!!!
And you are most welcome! So happy you are doing these threads!!! 😀
I really appreciate all the info and updates, but I am getting COVID-19 OVERLOAD. I know it’s out there, like the all the other contagious diseases, but I can’t continually process this all the time.
if there is one sure way to round up a lot of political/social bad guys, it’s while everyone else is consumed with their own survival and/or toilet paper needs.
my faith is in our Lord, my trust is in our President.
What was getting unwieldy, IMO, was all the theory and talking about it, and no good checklist of practical advice. That’s why I like my friend’s list of keep hydrated, take a hot steam shower upon getting home. It starts with a sore throat, etc.
THAT’s what is NOT being disseminated well.
This seems…Notable:

There’s a pervasive rumor going around the chans that all of the celebrities and politicians claiming to have “coronavirus” are really suffering from poisoned adrenochrome. I’ve got no interest in arguing for or against—just trying to keep people in the loop about theories going around.
Actually I think it is probably because they all are jet setters visiting the same clubs, going to the same parties…
Look at NC, at least five, and with this new case, six cases are related to a Boston conference that employees of Biogen in the Triangle attended.
From:
*https://www.newsobserver.com/
March 4 – NC one in Raleigh Wake County.
March 6 – NC second case Chatham County.
March 10 – 7 cases five new patients attended a Biogen conference in Boston.
March 13 – 16 CASES REPORTED all over state.
March 14 – 26 cases with one more from the Biogen conference Among the new confirmed cases is a teacher at Fuquay-Varina Elementary School.
Boston spread smells of someone painting unsuspected vectors before they went home from the conference. Too easy to do when you know where the people came from. Likely painted the last day they were together before going home.
If anybody believes one syllable of this insane tale, then any disaster that befalls is deserved.
This is an actual internet legend designed to see how gullible people can be.

first day of hubby working from home…LOL
they’ve already discovered short comings and things that will not work…gonna be a fun experience!
😀
My neighbor is working from home, too – he says they are trying to see how cutting in-house employees will work – a test of sorts.
They will work it out – Trust God – He knows what He is doing!!! 🙂
they are now going to stagger coming into the office to grab files, etc…which means they’re working out the kinks…which is good cuz the office is in NY…
Oh, wow! They need to have a remote computer to access files – seems to be a lot of unnecessary travel – imho –
Yes, they need to work out the kinks!
no they have that–these are actual paper files–receipts, invoices, etc…hubby can go in and copy what he needs, the payroll lady needs to print checks which isn’t a function to be done off site…security reasons, etc…but they’re trying!
Lots of things to consider – printing checks? No direct deposit available? Yes, they have many kinks to work out – what about Fax machine for copies? Traveling defeats the purpose of in-house reduction in social interaction – Gee!!!
well the office is small to begin with…12 people…if they limit the time they spend in the office and alternate days it should work.
and they have to pay their bills–it’s not just payroll checks–they are vendor invoices to process and pay–benefits, etc–but they are working it out. and are establishing a plan if this ever happens again…
Okey Dokey, Mom – a great lesson for all of us – if we looked at troubles as opportunities – we would not be so disheveled – Yes?
it’s really hard to live with fear day after day and not feel a physical side effect from it.
stress affects our immune systems…laughter helps…
I choose to look on the bright side.
I can tell – the ‘funnies’ you post daily – are great for relieving stress – giggling my way through – I am – Thanks so much for posting!!!
Fear – like negative thinking is debilitating – that is what I love most about President Trump – his positivity!!! It is uplifting!!!
Two people are falling from the height of a tall building – one is screaming – the other is calm – they both know how this will end – but, one decides to enjoy the ride – while the other is enthralled in fear.
well hubby has begun contemplating retirement so this is giving us a taste of being together in our small house–all the time–
so far it’s been good, but his new office mate has sexually harassed him more than once…wink, wink
LOL – God gave you a sense of humor second to none, Pat! Imma lovin’ it!!! Hugs!!!
HUGS back to you sweetheart!

You will like the ‘Feminism’ talk on the PragerU video – 🙂

I wonder when the Democrats are going to realize that their SJW messages aren’t going to go over as well in the time of a communicable disease. Open borders defies logic when one is trying to protect their own health or that of their family.
Ironically, it will be this event in our history that clearly supports screening and border control. Should never have lost it. We had it when our great immigrant waves came in. Millions came through Ellis island, including my grandparents, and no one got in who were sick/had disease.
This backfires on the Democrats – though their base will likely hold to insanity and pretend otherwise.
my grandfather too! 2 weeks he was there!
My grandfather’s mother’s and father’s family were all at Ellis Island for months. More than one name was changed from the Spanish names that had religious connotations to English names like “Mildred.”

These numbers are actually much closer to the truth. As we’ve all talked about, Italy is high because of heavy elderly population, heavy smokers, and dependency on socialized medicine. They are more government dependent for healthcare dollars – whereas countries like Germany have more private insurance involvement.
Italy is also a very social country – they have a difficult time distancing. But no doubt, the elderly are always vulnerable to pulmonary complications.
In fact, with the “flu” – it isn’t the flu that gets people, it’s pneumonia.
@OBgynFl
Death rates per million population from #Coronavirus.
1. Italy 29.5 per million
2. Spain 6.3
3. China 2.3
4. France 1.9
5. Switzerland 1.6
6. South Korea 1.5
7. England 0.6
8. Japan 0.2
9. USA 0.2
10. Germany 0.1
This is not a complete list and will change but better way.
exactly…pneumonia and SARS. Build up your immune system (vitamins A, B and C). Keep drinking fluids. Don’t let it paste to your lungs.

This is interesting from Professor Cleveland. Along with POTUS, we can thank Ken Cuccinelli for the right decision on travel from China… The Democrats tried to push “academic” opinions on POTUS. Never listen to academics, at least not the ones the Dems proffer.
@ProfMJCleveland
THREADETTE: I’m reading House testimony re coronavirus and had NO IDEA how ballsy
@realDonaldTrump
decision to ban travel from China was! Apparently, the bureaucrats ran academic models on the scenario & those concluded travel should not be banned. Cuccinelli recommended 1/
@ProfMJCleveland
2/ ban travel anyway, but told Trump what modeling said. Trump banned travel from China and saved untold number of lives. Tell me any Democrat would have made that call!! Now, how did I discover this? Well in testimony, Rep. Titus had this to say about Trump’s lifesaving call:
Ace o Spades this a.m.
“… As usual, Victor Davis Hanson has an in-depth analysis for both Trump and America at large when we come out the other side of this madness:”
…When the virus peters out and the panic fades, China may be permanently rebranded and recalibrated by the world at large. Its trading partners will trust it far less to honor any commitments or to abide by any international agreements. Supply chains will be diversified. Tourism will be reduced in fears another such coronavirus will follow SARS and COVID-19 – and be hushed up. Countries that had particular close commercial and cultural ties with China – Iran, South Korea, and Italy – were hurt most during the epidemic by Chinese silence and duplicity…
Ostensibly, the panic-driven shutdown of the U.S. economy could plunge us into recession or worse, with dire consequences for the 2020 campaign. Some on the Left see COVID-19 in unapologetically political terms, as the magic solution to ending the Trump presidency and his supporters in a way that all the past hopes and dreams of doing so – from subverting the Electoral College after the November 2016 election to Mueller and impeachment, and all in between – utterly failed.
Whatever the ultimate human and economic toll from the coronavirus, there is no doubt that Trump, as president, will be blamed for the economic slowdown of spring and perhaps even early summer. The media despises the president as does entertainment, academia, and the media, ensuring in popular culture and the news that he will be demonized in a way Obama was not, despite reacting far more slowly, to the swine flu threat of 2009.
But here are some caveats. Warmer weather and spring, global quarantines, travel bans, more testing and increased knowledge of the virus may all eventually conspire to slow its spread. And when its relative non-lethality is fully digested (perhaps 98 or 99 percent of those in the general population below 65 in previously good health who are infected recover), and the cases begin dropping off, the economy will not just recover but take off…
Glad to hear what he’s saying about China, I’m thinking the same. The world should be very angry with ZCP and start distancing themselves. Saw on twitter where Jack Ma (acting like a hero) announced China was sending a big shipment of face masks to USA. The replies were great… No thanks, I wouldn’t trust anything from China, etc.
That’s part of their propaganda right now to reform their image…How they solved the problem, how they’re helping the rest of the world, everyone should be thanking them 🤮🤮🤮 I want to see rejection! They’re responsible for the pre-mature deaths of children, parents, and grandparents worldwide.

those thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and wipes have been “donated”…
FTA
Thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and packs of antibacterial wipes and medical masks have been donated after a failed attempt by two Tennessee brothers to resell them for profit.
News outlets report boxes were taken Sunday from a storage unit and the home of Matt Colvin of Hixson, Tennessee.
The items were donated to a local church with some supplies heading to Kentucky where Colvin had cleared store shelves during the U.S. coronavirus outbreak.
https://www.kiiitv.com/amp/article/news/health/coronavirus/hand-sanitizer-price-gouging-donation/507-94b48e7b-9662-4fff-b0aa-b56838b55f40
I guess Social Media is good for something 😉
These two brothers will never live this down.
Well, I think they were entitled to be creative. This is America. Well, it is supposed to be America. That is rapidly becoming an open question.
i think you’d be more right if this weren’t a medical issue…I mean if you foresee that a new restaurant is going to be a HUGE success and buy shares in it (silly example but it will do)–and it does become a huge success–you’re a genius! and you make a lot of money! but no one gets hurt in the process…
but this doesn’t sit well because it’s disease prevention that’s taking a hit…and people could get sick or die and you’re causing a panic…jmo tho
IMO, what these guys did was morally and ethically, wrong. Legal. But wrong. A couple examples.
Hurricane Category 4 bearing down on Houston, Miami, some high population center. Folks need to evacuate. Gas stations double or triple prices. Fundamentally wrong.
After the hurricane, tornado or whatever disaster, stores can’t simply double or triple prices on water, food… Again, fundamentally wrong.
Some place have laws against this sort of price gouging.
By the way, stores four days ago could have tripled their prices seeing the onslaught of shoppers bent on stocking up. They didn’t as it’s fundamentally wrong to do so.
The thing is, pricing and profit serve as signals to ensure better distribution of goods. Let’s say there was something that sold for $1 on your side of town, and you found out that it sold for $2 on the other side of town. You might well rent a truck for $100, buy a thousand of them, and go sell them for $1.50. That would give you a profit of $400.
The other vendors on the other side of town would likely screech that you had robbed them of $1000 because they could have sold the 1,000 widgets for $2 each. The people buying your widgets might screech that it’s unreasonable for you to make such a large profit. But that’s the way economics works. Higher prices and higher prices lure resources to where they are needed.
The question of whether something is “gouging” or not doesn’t involve the amount of profit — it involves the capacity to restock. If the guys had bought their hand sanitizer and medical masks last August, they should have been able to make their profits and enjoy the fruits of their foresight — because anyone should have been able to restock long before the crisis hit. OTOH, doubling the price of plywood in Orlando while the hurricane is trashing Miami is wrong — there is no chance to restock in just hours.
Price gouging has always been frowned upon so no real change as far as that story.
This must have been written by an Israeli reporter. How so? The last paragraph actually states an accurate assessment about COVID-19. American reporters are genetically incapable of being honest & truthful.

I agree, the death rate will go down. Also the numbers affected as other variables step in alongside the social distancing effect. Warm weather affects these viruses, and that’s coming along. We also have better healthcare and access than some of the countries with corona virus patients – especially Italy.
Italy’s health care system isn’t bad, per se, as I understand it, it’s disorganized (go figure). I do think our biggest advantage is the lack of smoking. In Italy…yeah, yuck, but here, fewer people do. And that is going to make a difference.
The number of people newly diagnosed each day as being infected is growing very rapidly. The last 8 days have put a total of 3,245 new cases into these calculation, but many (most?) of those 3,245 cases have not had the WuFlu long enough for it to kill them. So, what is happening is that the number of deaths is being diluted by the rapidly increasing number of newly infected resulting in a lowering of the death rate.
Eventually, hopefully, some of the emerging anti-viral treatments will be proven safe and effective and come into wide use, treating the infected at an earlier stage and directly reducing the deaths and death rate.
ready for medicine?

‘Cept after mocking preppers, they’ll seamlessly switch to condemning preppers as hoarders, and very possibly, arrive at their houses with torches and pitchforks to more equitably distribute the supplies.
🙁 Sad, but true, carl! We need to do a whole lot of PRAYING this does not happen!!!
That’s why smart preppers make sure all their supplies get lost in a boating accident(s).
All the preppers I know have guns, too…
Guessing IF ^^^ occurred in a gun friendly state, very, very short lived problem.
There are multiple reasons folks own guns and ammo.
A couple of faves. “Can’t have enough guns.” And, “stack your ammo high and deep”. 😉
This “shut down” fad that is sweeping the nation is completely unconstitutional and will NOT help prevent disease proliferation. The fed constitution specifically authorizes suspension of the writ of habeas corpus:
Art. 1, sec 9-2 The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety require it.
The 14th Amendment makes this provision applicable to the States. It should be obvious that there currently is no rebellion nor is there an invasion (other than the illegal border jumpers but I digress). Those are the pre-requisites for suspending habeas corpus. Which means that generally anybody who is arrested or restrained under some executive order has a right to petition for a writ.
Thanks to civil rights law, there are grounds for civil suits against the govt that unlawfully restricts or impairs a person’s property rights.
Anybody who is forced to comply with one of these “close businesses” orders should file a lawsuit against the govt entity that is responsible for the force or restraint under the 4th & 5th amendments. Simultaneous with filing the suit should be a motion for a temporary restraining order prohibiting the govt miscreants from enforcing the orders pending trial.
Art. 2, sec. 3-1 … he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed …
Faithful execution of the laws means that a law authorizing the executive (POTUS) action must already exist and such law must comply with constitutional limits.
Restricting businesses from operating is an eminent domain action for which fair compensation must be rendered to the owner whose property is confiscated. The owner of property that is confiscated is no longer liable for taxes on that property nor taxes based upon its use.
When we talk about crossing the line, this “shut down” fad is what that line looks like. Fun of a perverse sort is about to commence.

The President of the United States has a TEAM of doctors in the White House.
And that A$$ George Conway knows that full well!!!
Great facts laid out to George, with a GREAT smack down closer!
Interesting in light of what you mentioned on the plague page. CDC might even be getting some unnoticed scrutiny. Wonders if George’s post was a message to them.
Comment lifted from Ace of Spades:
…”80 There’s going to be a big reckoning with some people when this is over. That includes the media and various Democrat Governors who are taking advantage of people by spinning their propaganda in order to steal their civil rights.
During the Obama Administration, we heard the phrase “never let a good crisis go to waste”. It’s now become the sine qua non of Democrats during every national emergency. Instead of a time to bring us together, it’s a time of opportunity. A time to further divide us, put us at each others throats, steal from each other, a time to push political agenda in bills trying to respond to the dire needs of our citizens, and more importantly, a time to steal rights from people in order to better control them.
I sat with mouth agape as the governors of NY, NJ and CT, without sufficient cause or factual reason, immediately moved to suspend the rights of people who live in their states. I even was more appalled at the fact not a single person in the media asked where they derived such powers or what the compelling evidence was to take such an extraordinary step.
What will kill our nation is not the Coronavirus or any future plague. We will recover from this. It is the rampant disinterest, apathy, and indifference of a population and the press to question any intrusion on the constitutional rights of the people who actually own this government. That will be the death of our republic, and it’s time to let these people know the con is over.”

How much you want to bet this “tip” came from some Democrat gun grabber? Expect to see more of this. All anyone needs to do in this kind of panic is call the police and claim Typhoid Mary is on the way to get some guns, and the Democrats will go in full gun grab mode. Pathetic.
Sorry PR, not sure why this showed up as a reply to your post, but I suppose it’s fitting with your comment.

posted OT…the CDC got a $53 million increase in the Omnibus Funding Bill…here’s what they did with some of it…
FTA
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The CDC gets a $53 million boost in the omnibus bill, which is a good thing because the CDC does important work like controlling deadly diseases and certainly would never waste taxpayer money on things like hiring a “Hollywood liaison” to help television and movie studios develop accurate story lines about diseases.
The increase in CDC funding includes the creation of a new program to study gun violence, which is apparently a disease now. If you want to get a sense of how the CDC handles this type of very specific assignment, take a look at what happened in 1999 when the agency asked Congress for extra funding with the goal of eliminating syphilis in the United States by 2005. The CDC used some of that money to pay for strippers, and not only did syphilis still exist in 2005, but the number of reported cases had increased by 68 percent, as then-Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) noted in a 2007 report.

They want total destruction. This will spiral into a depression if people cant buy food, pay their bills.

If this goes on too long over a month for regular people or less for businesses, I expect people to stop paying rents and mortgages. Then evictions and foreclosures will begin.

While the world is reeling over the Coronavirus and taking every precaution under the sun, there are some members of society who are using the virus to get attention on social media by doing one of the dumbest things you’ll ever see…ever.
A new “challenge” has emerged where young people lick toilet seats. It’s called the #CoronavirusChallenge and it’s as stupid, reckless, and disgusting as you’d imagine it to be.
The videos are making the rounds on Twitter and Tik Tok.

How to Manage a Fever at Home: 2 Ways – Herbs and Pharmaceuticals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzeu8Km4RFY&feature=em-uploademail
IF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITION – check with your doctor before taking supplements and mega-doses of any vitamin, mineral, herb!!!
Ma Huang sold to me by a friend nearly killed me in 2001 or so.
My daughter who has a progressive neurodegenerative disease takes a lot of antioxidants and vitamins – BUT – at a neurologist/physician’s direction/approval.
One of the doctors in my family (and I have some stellar ones who got full scholarships, are on faculty in medical schools, etc) said taking too much potassium can cause serious heart problems.
PLEASE be careful dear friends.
Each person should use caution when considering taking supplements – too many out there with advice to sell a product – if you have no experience – you need to consult a professional – so yes, GA/FL – I agree – we must be careful!
Thanks for the advice and the warning – God Bless You!!!
Both Potassium and Magnesium can interfere with your heart rhythms. Too much Omega 6 can be bad. Too much zinc can dilute needed copper. Yes, be very careful. Always research, some supplements can’t be taken together or combined w/other medicines, must be taken hours apart. Always find out toxic limits.
Thanks so much for all that important information!
Yep. There are four electrolytes that work in tandem to regulate the electrical flow through the heart. Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, and Calcium. An excess, deficit, or imbalance between any of these can cause problems. I see all these supplements in the store, especially the mixtures, and it makes me want to scream, as it’s not as simple as it looks…
Many diuretics are potassium-losing (for lack of a better word), where potassium is flushed out. Loop diuretics (e.g. Lasix) are known for this (as well as for being ototoxic). There are others, however, that are “Potassium-sparing”, which can cause an excess of potassium. Then there are other meds which affect the release, metabolism, or evacuation of the diuretic and its effects…
The same dance goes on with the others. If you’re on heart or blood pressure meds, be certain to check with your doctor or cardio about how they interact (drugs.com also has a website). and how otc meds and herbals also interact (most people never suspect this). And be sure to tell your doc each and EVERY single thing you take, and the dosage, if it’s not prescribed by them (e.g. if you’re seeing multiple docs or being treated for multiple conditions).
Messing up on this can be hazardous…
Thank you.
Also, low-salt (high potassium) substitutes can be dangerous for some A-Fib patients!
Check with your doctor first.
Yep, one of the worst mixtures is the Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc combo. Calcium dilutes the absorption of the other 2 so you’re never getting what the label says. Also, Vitamin D aids calcium absorption, so those 2 should be taken together. Nobody tells you that!
I let the fever run, and had one 24 hours fewer than my sister.
Imagine that.
Lately, I have heard the best way to get rid of a fever is to let it run – cold compresses and cold showers do not work – so it is possible you had the right idea, DP!
I bundle up and sweat it out. Tend to only eat berries and sip water or tea.
Heard about bundling up – does it work? Water and/or Tea? I drink tons of water – it helps filter through whatever does not belong – like an infection – imho
It seems to work for me, after the cold chills pass I usually stay bundled up and sweat as much as possible to break the fever.
I have heard an Ethel alcohol rub down works, too – a method people swear works, too – I think sweating is good – unless the person does not sweat that much – whatever works for you offers relief.
Cooling too quickly can cause chills which generate more heat in the muscles and drive the temp back up. Be careful
Oh, my – heard that – but – did no know why – Thanks, Vol!!!
Don’t take the mainstream narrative at face value. THEY don’t have to be infected to say they are infected. It’s a script.

Fox is told to expect the House to try today to re-approve the coronavirus package passed early Saturday morning after technical changes. Would try to do it via unanimous consent. “That’s the plan” said a senior Democratic aide. All it would take is one objection to block it.
The Senate cannot start work on the bill until the House re-passes it and send it across the Capitol.
Schumer proposes $750 billion CV bailout bill
FTA
U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer will propose legislation totaling at least $750 billion to combat the coronavirus outbreak and help the economy, his office said in a statement on Monday. He will present the package as early as Tuesday, the statement said.
The plan would be in addition to an $8.3 billion aid plan that Congress has already passed, as well as a multi-billion-dollar package the House approved last week, the statement said.
Schumer’s plan would include money to address hospital capacity issues, expand unemployment insurance, increase Medicaid funding, and provide immediate payment forbearance on federal loans, the statement said. Democrats are a minority in the U.S. Senate.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-schumer/u-s-senator-schumer-wants-at-least-750-billion-to-combat-coronavirus-help-economy-idUSKBN2133DT
This man is a lunatic – he must be concerned about his retirement – no way anyone in the Senate will approve this bloated request – is he subsidizing abortion like his counterpart in the House? Or is he considering a raise for illegals – or his donors – various lobbyists – what is wrong with this man other than the fact that he is controlled by demons, Pat?
there aren’t many details listed in the article…but I’m sure in the coming days we find out.
$750B on top of $8B – that is insane, Pat!!!
Schumer’s mantra: “May the pork be with you”…
And then he can whine ad infinitum when his idiotic profligacy gets shot down. Hope that it doesn’t get out of the house, or even passed there…
LOL – not sure how or where this fits in, Cuppa – but, the man has lost his marbles – that is – if he ever had them.
Money must be getting tight….trying to get that flow to the slush funds going again
Ain’t gonna happen, Vol!!!
A small upside to the terribleness:
Suddenly countries have discovered a need for borders, amazing.
I didn’t even know Canada had one they could shut down. I thought they had done away with it.
So the American People have to consider…do they want one, too (Trump), or not (Biden and co.)?
Hope this makes things easier in times to come.

For more information, please visit
CORONAVIRUS.GOV
THE PRESIDENT’S CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES FOR AMERICA
DO YOUR PART TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS
Even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you are at risk and your activities can increase the risk for others. It is critical that you do your part to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Work or engage in schooling FROM HOME whenever possible.
IF YOU WORK IN A CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRY, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and pharmaceutical and food supply, you have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule. You and your employers should follow CDC guidance to protect your health at work.
Avoid eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, and food courts –
USE DRIVE-THRU, PICKUP, OR DELIVERY OPTIONS.
AVOID SOCIAL GATHERINGS in groups of more than 10 people.
AVOID DISCRETIONARY TRAVEL, shopping trips, and social visits.
DO NOT VISIT nursing homes or retirement or long-term care facilities unless to provide critical assistance.
PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE:
– Wash your hands, especially after touching any frequently used item or surface.
– Avoid touching your face.
– Sneeze or cough into a tissue, or the inside of your elbow.
– Disinfect frequently used items and surfaces as much as possible.
CORONAVIRUS.GOV
School operations can accelerate the spread of the coronavirus. Governors of states with evidence of community transmission should close schools in affected and surrounding areas. Governors should close schools in communities that are near areas of community transmission, even if those areas are in neighboring states. In addition, state and local officials should close schools where coronavirus has been identified in the population associated with the school. States and localities that close schools need to address childcare needs of critical responders, as well as the nutritional needs of children.
Older people are particularly at risk from the coronavirus. All states should follow Federal guidance and halt social visits to nursing homes and retirement and long-tern care facilities.
BakoCarl! That is so wonderful! Copying to my documents and now I can enlarge type, etc. Thank you so much!!!
Well, us . . . ummmm . . . seasoned folks gotta stick together, y’know.
We sure do – esp. in times like these!
I just want to insert here, we have the loveliest group of people on this site.
Just stellar.
We’re getting similar advice in the UK now — almost, but not quite, identical.
However, as others have pointed out, this is dangerous from a freedom of movement perspective and, just as importantly, for the economy — local, state and national.
Here’s the PDF version – larger and easier to read – but I still want a text only version – hate the color background – it’s hard to very read!

Much better – Thanks GA/FL!!!
If you have Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements, you can open the .pdf, rasterize it, and take the color out.
I imagine there are folks out there who could just open the .pdf file itself, flip some bits, and take the color out, too… (also, if you have Acrobat, and the file isn’t locked, you can just do it there – reader can’t do it, but the regular program can)…
I just used a couple of online file converters, with some cleaning up and, VOILA!
Thanks, Cuppa! I don’t have Photoshop, I’m not sure if I have Acrobat on this computer. I’ll check.
I was just thinking, if you have Acrobat Reader, you can use the select text function, copy all the text, and paste it into a new file (e.g. word or something).
But I see bakocarl’s already converted the file (thanks)…
Dark backgrounds, either with low contrast (blue on black) or inverse printing (white on black) drive me nuts, too. And they use a TON of toner, wear down the print drum (due to said ton of toner), and cost more to print.
Then again, for brochures, folios, pamphlets, even photos (better done on an injet, usually), it looks nice.
I have an OKI C532dn that actually prints pretty good photos. Can’t touch my Epson 2100, though…
I just have an inexpensive HP B&W laser printer
They’re pretty good too, actually HP has a tradition of solid, well-designed hardware (OK, I worked there for years, so maybe I’m a bit biased – then again, I purchased TONS of HP HW for companies before I ever set foot in Palo Alto and Cupertino). Now, a lot of their stuff isn’t the “solid as a tank” design, but still pretty good.
I have a little OKI (OKI dokey) B430dn that is our Energizer Bunny Printer… aside from a misadventure with a faulty printer drum, it’s still going strong. And much cheaper to use than InkJets, for the most part.
The cool thing about the 532 is that it can print photos with text and have that shiny finish which seems to make it look “professional”, but doesn’t cost extra. We only got it because it was €100.00 off, and we got a free 7000ppg toner cartridge, which made it basically free. That was right after they came out. Thing weighs a ton, though, and is a tad big for the countertop it sits on. Still, it’s kinda neat, and with third-party toner (which FINALLY is available), it should be fairly cheap to run…
The 2100 cost ca. €800.00 way back when… I just wish I could find it a new home, as that’s really a printer for professional photographers… A3+ (19″) paper feed, including roll feed, auto-cutter (batch) feed and cutting, complete with basket, 10 separate ink tanks, provision for CIS (Continuous Ink System/supply), and professional-quality drivers… sigh… but it would take 20-30 minutes to print an A3 high-res print…
If I only knew then what I do now about “purchasing equipment appropriate for the tasks at hand”…
I’m not sure how much more of this craziness I can take… I don’t understand POTUS not dealing with the MSM as the enemy they are. They’re the ones driving the negativity, the economic downturn. It isn’t just about DJT, their anti-Americanism has been fully exposed. An Enemy must be dealt with. This isn’t tiddly winks we’re playing.

article about the absurdity of the CDC over the years…
FTA
During the Ebola crisis, the CDC had been spending a mere $2.6 million on gun violence studies. But the CDC has a history of wasting money on everything from a $106 million visitor’s center with Japanese gardens, a $200K gym, a transgender beauty pageant, not to mention promoting bike paths.
The occasional outbreak only calls the CDC’s general incompetence to everyone’s attention. The rest of the time its incompetence, like that of other government agencies, just ticks along wasting money.
snip
The CDC is a classic example of a progressive success story, an agency created to fight malaria by spraying DDT, whose original mission has long since become politically incorrect and which instead adopted a politically correct search for the social root causes of diseases like syphilis and AIDS.
Unlike fighting malaria by spraying DDT, fighting syphilis by combatting racism doesn’t work.
The CDC’s fight against the “obesity epidemic” is even sillier. That includes funding 15 colleges to “work with community extension services to increase access to healthier foods and safe and accessible places for physical activity.” That meant giving LSU over a million bucks to work with farmers’ markets.
Obesity obviously can kill people, but it’s not something that the CDC can or should be trying to fix.
America doesn’t need the CDC as a pipeline for pork to state schools. We do need the CDC to fulfill its original mandate by dealing with outbreaks of infectious diseases, initially malaria and smallpox, and now Ebola or the coronavirus. We need science, not social welfare.
Unfortunately, the CDC, like every federal agency, has drifted from its core mission into social welfare.

LOL sometimes you’ve just got to laugh. 🙂
Plus I talk to family overseas and had to hear how the USA does everything wrong so instead of hitting something I just decided to laugh!!! 😀
You could break some valuable things, too, kea – lol – and – laughing is healthier!
Yes and we need to save the TP so that’s why I laugh.
Seems to me – people are more concerned about TP than food – stores have little and/or no meat – people are hoarding – and that is sad – and selfish – if you are a prepper – you buy a little extra each time – not gobs at once – makes me sad – others will have to do without because some are greedy – glad you see the humor in all of it.
You have to. But I fully agree with your statement. Its crazy.
FYI this better be over by April because everything is closed until April!
Perhaps, by 4/10/20 – Good Friday – DJT –
I think it will be over soon – some schools are closed for (3) weeks – in NYC until April 20th – I believe PT has plans for so many initiatives – that must be completed – and in place – he also does not believe this crisis will last long – so am wondering what he knows – or what needs to be in place before it ends – just thinking out loud here, kea – I know nothing
I was thinking the same thing. This man will not let America cave to the MSM, DS or China under his watch!!! Also what happens if a ‘cure’ pops up!?!?!
Gee – wouldn’t that be loverly?

Wpwza, that pic is the “tourist” town ?
I put this on the COVID19 thread. I’m now home, freshly steam showered, and changed into clean clothes.
Ground report from the grocery store:
OMG, and I mean no slight to the Almighty. Holy crap. It’s like the people don’t have anything else to do.
So, I needed a few perishables and non-TP and wipe type products (dishwasher pods, etc.) and thought I would just stop in at the store on the way home from dropping something at the vet’s office. There was nowhere to park at the smaller store, so I ventured to the store that’s a lot bigger with a stellar produce section…I circled the lot for 10 minutes waiting for a spot to open up. Inside, it wasn’t THAT bad, and people were only picking up smaller loads of essentials, but still…hardly any fresh chicken was in the case. Most milk was dented. All TP GONE. Most wipes gone. Zero Lysol spray. All first aid alcohol wipes, and most gloves gone (we have some, so no biggie).
I checked out in the self-check out with gloves on, and the manager running it – GREAT gal we’ve known for years – said under her breath, “I need a nap.” They’ve been slammed for days.
So, I go to leave and one of the cart guys, a mentally challenged guy who is sweet as can be, started talking my arm off while we walked to the car. He was like, “This is as bad as Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.” I mean, he had a litany of complaints about hording and all I could do was nod and agree.
It’s a jungle out here. And my can of hearty tomato soup is dented.
That’s crazy. How long can this spending keep up?
Went to our big Publix near me today – around 10 am Monday
As Gail and DP recommended, I wore clothes I could pop in the wash when I got home and my favorite new machine washable yard gloves that grip and fit nicely…kind of like Gorilla gloves, but an off brand from Home Depot. I also use them to pump gas!
There were many holes in the shelf stock – but it’s Monday and they probably haven’t gotten the shipments of many things that were wiped out over the weekend.
– no frozen strawberries or bluberries
– no frozen baby peas or corn – most frozen vegs were low or gone!
– low on paper products, baggies, etc.
– low on cleaning supplies
– out of most sandwich meats
– regular, not gourmet, cheese stock needed refilling but my sweet cheese lady was going at it!
– plenty of produce!
– plenty of chips, crackers and cookies
– bought or rather invested in, a bottle of elderberry syrup!
– totally out of zinc – but they had Vitamin C!
– I didn’t even check for hand sanitizer and wipes – but that wasn’t on my list.
Heard one young Mommy saying – “They are going eat so much – it’s going to be expensive with them out of school!”
Everyone was pleasant and it was busy, but not over-crowded or rushed.
Got home, unloaded and put away the groceries, still in my gloves, put the clothes in the washer, took a shower, washed all the gloves – the house and outside gloves.
I buy Atlas 620 orange gloves lined in white cotton knit jersey by the dozen for house, yard, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc. – they are bleachable inside, last forever – never had one pair wear out. I wash them inside and out with warm water dawn and bleach, rinse well, hang by fingertip on skirt hanger, let drip dry in laundry sink, then hang all the skirt hangers on an over door hanger, turn on a fan and blow it up into the gloves.
Washed and bleached all the dirty towels (I buy hotel towels by the dozen – https://ritewaylinens.com) just bought 48 nice soft durable white washcloths for about a dollar each. They last and last.
My Speed Queen is getting used a lot!!!
I have one too! Love being able to soak clothes as long as I want and alter the cycle to suit me.
Best one there is!!!! 🙂
These new machines don’t even have an agitator anymore. It’s like clothes get clean how?
My wife went out after lunch to get some dog food and stopped by the local Kroger and was Shocked by how empty the empty the shelves were.
The panicked hoard are sure making it hard on us somewhat sane crowd.

LOL Very good point.
Ok yall.
Just got a friend of mr gils telling me that in Montana customers are RUNNING ON THEIR BANKS. Financial collapse incoming if the coronavirus hysteria doesn’t stop.
*hits head on desk.*
Looks up. Nope people are still stupid
*hits head on desk again*
Yes. And all the mayors trying to out virtue each other, esp in the bay area(unenforceable)
You can’t fix stupid…
You can say that again….
Not going to be a problem; the fed can issue funny money out the wazoo to cover the banks.
That was part of the rationale for starting the damn thing, anyway…
Yeah. Isnt gold having trouble today?
They all are.
But the dollar isn’t even remotely based on that, so it’s irrelevant.
If we get to negative rates, it will spread quickly.
Bwahahahah
Oh my, Google. This is awkward.

If they seize her places in CA ill believe it.
I saw something similar last night, but wasn’t sure how reliable it was
I always thought that property was ugly. It always reminded me of a federal building and was shocked the first time I saw it. Great place to have tunnels if you wanted to smuggle. Ship to shore.😱🤫

Senate approves via voice vote 77 day (technically 75 day) extension of FISA. Must go back to the House to sync up. Bill is retroactive to Saturday
Ugh no thanks.
NOT Permanent. Kicking the can down the road cuz it doesn’t do anything to fix problems. Provides Congress more oversight, big whoop. Forces DOJ to hand over documents, still not much. Jordan was saying that’s all they could get cuz the Dems had majority. Gohmert told POTUS it didn’t do a thing to stop the what happened to him from happening again…..stay tuned…

Note: Getting FISA off the table in the Senate clears the way for the Senate to consider the revamped House coronavirus bill…if the House can ever re-pass it without a potential GOP objection. That would force all House mbrs to return to vote again

Sooooooooo, is PTrump going to be able to make recess appointments? Hmmmmmm?

This is a big fat non issue I wish people would just drop.
No, because he can only do so if the vacancy occurs during the recess.
Article II, Section 2, part 3:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

I borrowed this but lots of people cant even cook a frozen pizza or toast. Its a good place to start.
“Dad’s son on March 16, 2020 at 7:43 pm
Guess it’s time to learn how to cook again.
Let’s start with rice, because rice kept the North Vietmanese Army (and a lot of prisoners) basically alive – though not very well “nutrient-ed,” for years:
This is my dialed-in recipe, (at least for Southern cooking) which is why it is detailed:
-=========-
Saucepan method for cooking long-grain white rice
1. Using medium-high heat, bring 1½ cups water to boil in covered saucepan, then add 1/4 tsp. salt and stir.
2. Add 1 cup rice, then stir again, reduce heat to low, then cover saucepan. Check rice after 2 minutes to make sure it has reduced to a steady bubbling simmer, not a full boil. Adjust temperature if needed and re-cover. Set timer for 17 minutes. DO NOT STIR RICE AGAIN UNTIL COOKED and don’t lift lid after simmer is set.
3. After 17 minutes, turn off heat, lift lid and stir rice, then re-cover and leave on burner to sit 5 minutes before serving.”
Your recipe sounds more precise and measured than the way our family does it. My mother and mother in law (deep south GA) made rice a totally different way.
Put a cup of rice in a pot, add a 1/2 tsp of oil or a pat of butter, stir over medium heat until sizzles, but not brown, add 2 cups water and a teaspoon of salt.
Bring to boil on medium heat, stir once and boil with lid propped open until the rice forms craters (little holes) and the water is just below the surface about a 1/4 inch.
Lower the heat to low, cover and cook on very low heat until the water has cooked out. Turn off and let sit, then fluff with fork and serve.
I mostly make brown rice nowadays because it’s easier not to get it too soft. It needs a little more water, maybe 1/4 cup, but the method is still the same.
Thats an interesting way to do it. We may need a recipe thread for easy basics for versatile food like rice, or extending use(leftover city).
The easy way –
Throw 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of water into my 50+ year old Panasonic Rice-o-mat rice cooker.
Cover. Push the switch down . . . light comes on.
Light goes out in about 20 minutes.
Fluff with fork. Cover. Leave for 20 more minutes.
Serve.
Easy peasy . . . tried and true.
I think of those recent commercials for carls jr where the men would go into the grocery store and poke the meat or look lost around veggies. Mr gil one time tried cooking a frozen pizza, but didnt take the cardboard off the bottom. People will realize they need to do basic things like cook rice and beans. Stick some bean seeds and tomato seeds in some soil and get to it.
We could also compare our grandma’s versions of the basics – cornbread, veg soup, chicken soup, macaroni and cheese, etc.
About the rice – I forgot to say, Mama measured how much water to put in the pot on top of the rice by the first joint of her thumb….which means, I guess that she didn’t measure the rice either.
Guesstimate like a pinch, etc.
This is what Bernie and Biden are advocating for here:

Lockheed Martin’s Hewson to step down as CEO https://yhoo.it/38SXrr3
This is getting really crazy:

He should ask people who own their own businesses.
The answer is NO.

The part that I found really interesting was the supposition of the quarantine camps being used as jails, particularly since several have been described as looking like make do jails.
Hmmm…interesting, jam
I read that and thought no way is President Trump complicit in all the deaths occurring – which is what his scenario suggests. The whole thing sounded like his fantasy without much thought to what he is suggesting, which a lot of Q people seem to get into too much, in my opinion.
Dunno where he said PT was complicit – it was an eye-opener for sure, Linda – however, I do not see it as fantasy – Q is M-Intel – an old reference – there is a war going on to save the Republic – at first – it was restore the Republic – and now – we are trying to save it – that is no fantasy – it is reality – there is a shadow government – made more real by the foibles of the last administration – intent on destroying America and reducing it to 3rd world status – the war of good vs evil is ongoing – and for a long time – evil has had the upper hand – America has gone through a renewal of sorts – the evil in the shadows is being exposed to the light of day –
I agree – much of what he wrote is hard to swallow – let alone believe – however – anyone who makes us think – is – imho – worth noting.
So if this guy is WAY off, as I suspect he is, will he STFU and go away?
Or will he pull a Camping on us?
Is there a timeline listing all the CEO and executive departures for the last 18 months?

I have a couple of questions….
If there are to be no gatherings of more than 10 people, how is Wall St still trading?
Why have the Dems not started screaming about voter suppression in light of the postponement of primaries?
EGGSACTLY!!!
Mom keeps asking why is the stock market still open? More than 10 peps there
Unless this is what POTUS needs to happen for his reset, I wish they would shut it down like after 9/11. More than 10 people gathered and all…..

I don’t wish illness on anyone. However, there are people whom I don’t need or want to hear from. Katie Hill is one of them. I wish her well, but, IMO, she needs to be out of the public eye, including social media, examining her life in solitude and privacy. There was a time when shame would have accomplished this.
