“I hope Cooper and Cotton are taking good care of you”
Cooper is doing a fine job, cotton not so much.
This morning when I got up and could barely walk, she was right in front of me begging for tuna. She wouldn’t move out of the way and made me plow into her. I told her that her cat narcissism was not useful right now. I had to figure out how to get downstairs and then I would feed her a real meal, not just junk food.
That’s why I miss Roy so much. He didn’t have any of that cat narcissism going on.
COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Fall for First Time in Weeks Across US: HHS
BY JACK PHILLIPS September 1, 2021 Updated: September 1, 2021
Hospital admissions for COVID-19 patients in the United States are declining for the first time since late June, suggesting the latest surge has peaked.
The seven-day average of new daily hospitalizations with confirmed COVID-19 dropped 2.4 percent from a week earlier to about 12,280—the first such drop since around June 27, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It comes as fewer hospitalizations are being reported in Florida, Texas, and other Southern states, the agency said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 tracker shows that the seven-day average for both deaths and cases appears to be leveling out. Previous surges of cases—including in the spring of 2020, in late July and early August of 2020, and January 2021—always leveled out and then dropped.
During prior surges, the COVID-19 death rate appeared to be higher, according to the CDC’s data. For example, on Jan. 13 of this year—which saw the most COVID-19 deaths per day—the number of deaths was around 4,169, compared with around 240,000 cases being reported daily. Amid the current surge of cases, the CDC on Aug. 31 reported a seven-day average of around 150,000 cases daily compared with a seven-day death average of around 985.

GREAT ad!
The dems are going to hate that one.
Most of my credit cards are with Chase. :-(
Citi used to be my main credit card, but they have the worst customer service ever. I put an item in dispute, sent a letter I had from the doctor’s office that said that I returned it, and they immediately sided with the other side! Luckily the doctor’s office was somewhat honest, if slow, and gave me my money back.
Maybe I should switch back to discover. They don’t have very good incentives that their customer service used to be one of the best.
All my credit cards pay more than any CD I can find. But I don’t know which one is least liberal.
But getting out of the basement may be a problem.
Makes me wish I lived in GA so I could vote for Vernon.
Thanks, that was powerful. Good luck to him.
Hey there!
It rained ALL night long and didn’t stop till about an hour ago, hope you got some.
Hubby has a doctor apointment the middle of Oct. and I sure hope that it is at least 20 degrees cooler down there.
I just can’t handle the heat anymore.
McConnell: Biden Not Going to Be Impeached
BY ZACHARY STIEBER
September 1, 2021 Updated: September 1, 2021
President Joe Biden will not be impeached, the top Republican in the Senate said Wednesday.
“The president is not going to be removed from office with a Democratic House and a narrowly Democratic Senate. That’s not going to happen,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said at an event in his home state when asked whether the president’s behavior should trigger an impeachment.
“I think the way these behaviors get adjusted in this country is at the ballot box,” he added. “There isn’t going to be an impeachment.”
Democrats control the House of Representatives with a 220–212 majority while holding a slim one-vote majority in the upper chamber with the vote of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House and a supermajority conviction vote in the Senate.
Former President Donald Trump was impeached twice but both times the Senate voted to acquit him. No president in history has been impeached and convicted.
Some Republicans have charged that Biden’s conduct regarding Afghanistan has been impeachable, and there have been calls for senior Biden administration officials to step down.
“I think it’s dereliction of duty to leave hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines, turn them into hostages, to abandon thousands of Afghans who fought honorably along our side, to create conditions for another 9/11 that are now through the roof,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on CBS on Sunday.
Biden must resign or be impeached, Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) added on Twitter.
And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) last week introduced three impeachment resolutions against the president over the Afghanistan debacle.
But no Democrats support the calls, making the efforts unlikely to succeed, unless Republicans flip both chambers in 2022.
No Biden administration officials have yet resigned over Afghanistan. Some lawmakers have called for Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to step down or be removed.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki, when asked about the calls last week, said that “It’s not a day for politics.”
She deflected a similar query the following day, saying that everybody should be supportive of U.S. efforts to target the terrorists who were behind the bombing attack in Kabul that left 13 U.S. troops dead.
Why would the turtle want to impeach one of his butt buddies?/S
Oh my gosh, his poor little knees. Looks like he’s fine with it though. That’s exactly how I went down the stairs, but I was on my back. I think when I started my right foot must have been hooked on a stair and it twisted my knee backwards.
I was thinking, this is just like in the movies!
Good Morning everyone, you Deplorables.
I have to get to the store to get more soap to wash out my mouth, almost out.
Need Kleenex also as I watch our country deteriorate.
Thanks for breakfast lysie, very nice, enjoy your time at camp.
Gran, have friend in CA and she says in her neighborhood, signs everywhere....”Do not recall Newsome”.
She is so mad.
Also sad as her cousin, in his 70’s got the jab and is now in intensive care with heart problems.
Your new home sounds nice Judy, you will enjoy it I am sure.
We moved from a huge home and now in a smaller place but everything has to be gone through and eliminate, so many sentimental things, hard to do.
Enjoy your day kids.
Prayers for all in need.
Pray for the unborn.
We got some rain last night not a lot . The middle of Oct should be ok. I always have to wear a sweatshirt for our Halloween block party.
I have been paying way to much attention to all the news lately. It seems like I can actually feel my blood pressure go up. It is going to be a VERY long 3+ years. Hopefully we can change Congress in 2022.
You got a point there.
We got to get rid of McTurtle.
Pres. Trump is calling in to Outside the Beltway with John Solomon right now.
It is on Real America’s Voice.
where. Wondered that too.
” Wildlife Rescue Groups Rush Animals Away From Flames”
So sad Rusty.
Does anyone else remember when Isis or some other terrorist group say they wanted to burn down America.
One wonders if they are keeping their promise.
