• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.-----------------------------
MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
Amy Coney Barrett Gets Her Hearing in the Senate
So I tell my descendants who I hope will be living with a Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, or for more future descendants, will know about her from their history books, that I watched three straight days of her being lectured by the senators as she behaved and was polite to a fault.
Because for sure the latest rage is for the Democrats to mock and bore and insult any nominee by a Republic, beginning with Bork, on to Clarence Thomas, on to poor Kavanagh who they accused of sexual misbehavior and now ACB.....who is so perfect they can't find anything to insult her on.
She is to be voted out of the senate judicial committee on October 22, 2020 and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vows a full senate vote will take place the day after. The Republicans have a majority in the senate and they have to the votes.
The anger directed at ACB by the Democrats is reflected on the fact that her nomination was fortuitous for the Republicans in that the Supreme Court opening occurred with enough perfect timing to go through all the political theatrics and get her in position in time for the 2020 election.
No matter who wins, ACB will still be a sitting Justice on the Supreme Court.
Town Hall Duels
------------------------------------------
It was the night of 10/15/20 that was originally, yon descendants, to be a Town Hall style of debate between presidential contender, former VP Joseph Biden and incumbent Donald Trump. Only President Trump got infected with the dreaded COVID virus and some group in charge of political debates decided to make it a "virtual" Town Hall debate and Trump refused to participate.
Biden, meanwhile, agreed to do a Town Hall debate on ABC with George Stephanopoulos as moderator. Trump, always a step ahead, agreed to do a Town Hall debate on NBC with Savannah Guthrie as moderator.
I watched the entire session with President Trump and wow, he did a terrific job. I did NOT watch the session with Biden because, well he is a really bad man, yon descendants, more on this later.
First of all, Trump looked wonderful. He had a great smile on his face, he fought back against the constantly-interrupting Guthrie but he wasn't mean about it. Interestingly, most of the citizen questioners were either voting for Trump or only leaning toward voting for Biden.
One such questioner even mentioned what a nice smile he had and how handsome he looked. Perhaps she was flirting, in a fashion, but sitting at home I was thinking the same thing.
Not bad for a guy who little over a week ago was in the hospital for the COVID virus.
Great move by Trump, cancelling the debate with Biden. Biden brings nothing to the table.
MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Finding Hunter Biden's laptop
--------------------------------------
It was just the weirdest thing, yon descendants, for Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden and presidential contender for 2020, to have turned in his laptop computer to a computer repair store, never to pick it up. In a strange series of events, the FBI ended up with the laptop, the computer repair store owner made a copy of the hard drive and turned it over to Rudy Giuliani. Eventually the entire world read emails from Hunter Biden to oligarchs in the Ukraine and China. Pictures of Hunter high and smoking a crack pipe were on the hard drive. It is rumored that there is a very x-rated video on the drive featuring the wonderful and blessed son that we all would love to be our own, and a female partner.
Then Facebook and Twitter, social media platforms, get in the act when the NY Post gets ahold of the emails and pictures and features it on the front page. Facebook and Twitter ban any mention of these emails, saying they were hacked and not true.
Yet they allowed untrue stuff from the NY Times about Trump's tax returns and lies about comments Trump made about our military from the Atlantic magazine.
But say something bad about Biden and you shall be banned from the mighty and the powerful.
As of this writing, yon descendants, there's screams from here as Americans, never mind Twitter and Facebook, learn about those very incriminating emails written by the marvelous and well-behaved son we all wished we had. That picture of him laying in a bed with a crack pipe in his mouth has got to be a source of pride.
Joe Biden is a crook and a liar and yon descendants, let us hope he never makes it to the President of our country. Biden will stand straight and tall and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie. He was head of his law class, he single-handedly killed Bigfoot, he has wonderful sons you all wished you had.
We'll be updating on this. The election is in three weeks.

Tiger Story
I don't know anyone who doesn't know about what I call the "tiger story", at least in some fashion
To sum it up, a fellow named Joe Exotic, not his real name, has a piece of land on which he keeps tigers and charges the public to come see his tigers and pet their cubs.
Carol Baskin also owns some sort of zoo type land but she bills herself as a lover of the animals and condemns Joe Exotic for allegedly killing tigers and being cruel to the babies.
Joe Exotic suffered a loss of business and bother by animal protection laws and he hates Carol Baskin.
So ole Joe gets it into his head that he is going to have Carol Baskin killed. As an aside, too bad Joe didn't succeed at this endeavor based on how horrible she dances. Ask me if you don't understand that reference.
Joe Exotic is now is jail for 22 years for trying to have Carol Baskin killed, at one point even shooting a dummy made up to look like her on video.
That was a really dumb thing to do.
Now there's all kinds of players involved in this story, workers at both properties and this one lies, this one tells the truth, this one no one knows. This one is on Joe's side, this one adores Carol Baskin who loves the animals but can't dance worth a damn.
Joe Exotic even got a reporter to ask President Trump for a pardon for him as he swears he had no intent, EVER, to kill Carol Baskin.
Now add to this ongoing and very interesting story, it would seem that Carol Baskin had a husband, Don Lewis, who disappeared many years ago and no one knows what happened to him.
So adding to the saga of Joe Exotic-who has a "husband" by the way, not that there's anything wrong with that, we have a missing person, a missing person who was the one with all the money when he married Carol Baskin.
We have signatures to wills that are sworn to be fake. Lewis has three daughters who believe Baskin killed their father. Lewis owned a fleet of airplanes and some believed one crashed into the waters on his last know travels to Costa Rica I think it was.
Dateline recently had a show called "Whatever happened to Don Lewis" and a case was made that....well one case was that Carol Baskin fed her husband to her tigers. At one point in the documentary she even showed a meat grinder and how it would be impossible to grind up an entire human in such a thing. From what I saw I think she's right.
It's an ongoing American saga with shows all over the place, from NBC to Netflix to Discover ID.
I've watched them all.
As of this writing, Joe Exotic is in jail where I'm not convinced he belongs. Carol Baskin figured out a way to get her missing husband's money away from his kids as she dances across our screens. Don Lewis is still gone.
It's a great compilation of one of the weirdest folk tales in America.

The Ideal Mask
This is just a quick note on masks as it seems to be on everyone's mind. President Trump deals with masks every day, poor guy, they really should leave him alone. Yeah he got COVID but recent studies show by a survey of all people affected by COVID said they wore their masks at all times. So if the masks work, how did all these steadfast mask-wearers get it?
Whatever the case, yes I hate masks. First, I can't breathe all that well in one. Second, masks fog up my glasses so I can't see. Thus by wearing a mask I cannot properly breathe or see.
I'd be better off taking my chances on catching COVID.
But NO. I'd wear a mask all the time if one were designed to be comfortable, not fog my glasses, not force me to stop every ten steps to hang onto a table and take deep gasping breaths. I'd be perfectly fine for those new see through mask things but some businesses do not allow them.
I live in Delaware where it might as well be Venezuela with our dictator Carney forcing us to wear masks everywhere when out of our homes.
Hell I'd like a mask to protect me from the regular flu and the ordinary cold.
And that's my thoughts on masks.

Discussion to Improve Kamala Harris and Why
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I happened to land on a door top when I chanced to overhear the following conversation. I think the humans would be keen to know what I heard.
One person was Valeria....usually at these meetings I attend uninvited. The other was some kind of aide to Kamala Harris, who is running for Vice-President on the Democrat ticket as this fly is to understand.
BTW, does yon reader like my new hat? I got a spider friend to knit it for me.
"Whatever you do," Valeria said to the aide, whose name was Karen. "Tell Kamala not to interrupt the moderator like Trump did. He got bad vibes doing that so figure out some way to have her silently let the world know of her derision of Mike Pence."
With this Valeria leaned back in her chair and proceeded to light up a cigarette, a habit of hers when her mind is busy figuring out to control things.
Karen sat on the edge of her chair, her fingers nervously moving all about.
"I talked to Kam about this," Karen began, a slight quiver in her voice.
"Did you too come up with a plan?" Valeria said after taking a long puff of her cigarette and blowing the smoke towards the ceiling.
Karen took a deep breath and began.
"We are going to have her surreptitiously make facial gestures that will be seen by those watching but will not be interrupting the moderator and get her in trouble."
Valeria was silent for a moment. "Describe these facial gestures."
"She will roll her eyes when Pence says something Kam wants to convey to the public as being very stupid. She has perfected a not-so-obvious sneer when Pence makes any reference to Donald Trump. She will purse her lips like an angry school teacher should Pence say anything bad about Joe Biden."
Karen explained the above to Valeria and waited comment or more questions.
"Do you think that will get Kam's point across but not make the viewers think bad of her?" Karen asked Valeria, meekly.
Valeria put her eyes into her shrewd look and thought about it. She slammed down her lighter and stood up suddenly.
"I think it will work. Kamala won't be considered rude to the moderator. After all, it's only facial gestures. Good work Karen. Kamala will win that debate by her face alone. America will love it."
The two women then left the room and I must suppose that yon human knows that didn't work out well at all.
