A Big Fat green olive in a good Vodka martini - why yes, I'll have one. - Anchovies on my Vodka - have to cogitate on that one
AT has a piece up today how local and state governments are feeling the financial pinch of reduced taxes and revenue. it’s about to bite ‘em bigly.
I believe that’s why so many govs are pushing massive testing-—to restock their treasuries with COVID reimbursements.
Sky News in the UK has caught massive fraud in testing and mortality results. Panic is reportedly underway in Parliament as citizens there realize they’ve been falsely panicked into submission. Coming here soon ?
Overstated, double counted, mixed positives with anti-bodies tests. Estimates are actual situation and numbers are approx. 1/2 of what’s reported.
I was hesitant to see this. Was it better than I thought it would be? If so, I can watch tonight.
Back ten years ago Portland was the city to visit - lots of friendly brew pubs, the Powell bookstore, crafts fairs in parks along the Willamette, the Tram up to the hospital, and I was there at least once every two years. But over time I noticed more “homeless,” an acceptance of squatters everywhere including doorways, certain streets to avoid due to endless panhandlers, etc.
Now it has degererated into a third-world city missing only slums of cardboard and corrugated fiberglass on hillsides. And the politicos blame it all on President Trump - logic and reason has totally left them all.
This is a really good review of what the Covid liars are perpetrating on the public.
When I was Fauci posing on the front cover of “in Style” I knew he was in this for the limelight and the glory. Then there are the Fauci dolls that are being made in China!
He’s everywhere now and won’t shut up.
Yet doctors are being shamed/intimidated/cajoled into being silent?
Below is a clip from the link:
“These New Outbreaks Doom Us.” – It is one of the more prevailing messaging points currently. “These spikes are as bad as the original wave.” This is the rationale that they use to reverse the restarts. Gavin Newsom is literally toying with his own residents in California as though they are game pieces. Shutting down most other eateries while specifically allowing his personal favorite to stay open. Allowing counties to already declare that they need to return to at-home learning for the entire 2020-2021 school year.
Yet if these outbreaks are evidence of a mass problem why do our numbers not even qualify as technically “epidemic” status any longer? And for those who are being diagnosed doesn’t the fact that we have Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesvir, blood plasma and anti-cholesterols being prescribed with great effectiveness mean something?
Mmmmm... black beans, white rice,onions,Cuban bread,breaded steak and sweet plantains,all about as good as food gets.
Bray: Check our this FR thread where “Moms” of Portland are acting as a human shields to protect the “protesters” because the mean old cops and unmarked Stormtroopers are picking on them. I bet SOROS has the moms on his payroll too. Coordinated in Hell.

Biden NEVER said he was going to defund the Police.
Biden/Sanders pledge to re-direct monies from the Police to something else.
Big difference here! At the end of the day, under the Biden/Sanders plan, the Police ends up with less......
Oh wait, never mind.
The mayor and his wife announced their divorce back in early January...
The chart below compares @COVID19Tracking 's weekly report-date deaths (blue bars) with today's update of the CDC's Provisional Deaths by Date of Death report (orange bars). Again, note the difference in the peaks & shapes of the curves.
It is all political, which is why Trump moved the collection of data from the CDC to HHS this past week. Deep State is alive and well.
Well I give you credit because it made me smile. By the way, fine people, I am back from "mass". Catholics out there, let me tell you the story that you smile. Non-Catholics, talk amongst yourselves.
2) My only wish was that POTUS would have demanded Wallace admit that Russia collusion was a hoax and that these coup attempts are real.
3) No mention of Roger Stone because that would've opened a huge "can of worms" regarding the Russia hoax, Flynn, Schiff, etc. Wallace KNEW that he could NOT bring this up.
4) When Wallace asked Trump about not holding any more rallies because of the pandemic, Trump should have said that BLM & other leftist protesters are allowed to assemble and destroy cities all over the country and no one bats an eye.
Chris tried to do his best to discredit him, but he couldn’t. It was an Ass Whoopin’! LOVE MY PRESIDENT!
My standard martini olive is hand-stuffed with gorganzola.
I’ve never been an anchovy guy, but these GOYA one are tasty!
So I got lost not once, not twice, but three times.
Called up Father Tom each time and he was quite gracious. Finally I got there.
Father Tom answered the door to my knock and he was wearing his full vestments. There were five people there in total plus the priest.
I looked around. The other four “mass” attendees had masks on but Father Tom did not. I asked him if I should wear a mask, which I brought one with me. He told me it was entirely up to us.
So I took the mask out but put it in my pocket but never did put it on.
I was in Father Tom’s house, which looked like a most ordinary house. He had mass booklets on a table, a communion chalice and a wine goblet in front of him and a little creamer shaped like a chicken.
We began mass and, of course, I had to do all the singing.
By the way, today I did not look like Matlock. I’d set my hair last night, put on a nice outfit and some makeup. AND LIPSTICK!!! I look dead without lipstick. I tell ya I looked right cute.
So we took turns reading portions of mass from the booklet while I, of course, insert smirk here, did all the singing.
There were communion wafers on the gold plate and the communion was prayed for and we took communion. THAT made me feel terrific. I have not received communion since February. It was wonderful.
When “mass” was over Father Tom took off his vestments and damn, those Bermuda shorts he was wearing almost made me guffaw.
We had liquid refreshments and donuts then we all sat down in the living room and just conversed for about 45 minutes. I noted that all the others took off those damn masks.
Pleasant conversation, discussing the virus, coin shortages, the loss of my Uncle, various funerals Father Tom attended but last rites he had to give through windows.
It was nice ladies and gems.
By the way he used the chicken-shaped creamer for him to drink the communion wine from.
You can’t make it up.
Yeah I also noticed the editing, always when Chrissy was about to get spanked.
