It looks like Mitch thinks aid to the blue states is just another negotiation of give and take. It is not, any aid these tyrannical governors receive will be used to continue the endless shutdowns and pursuit of ever tightening restrictions on our freedoms. We must flood the senate phone lines. Spread the word friends and have anyone and everyone call. Not one dime until the blue state governors open their damn states up and end this. Here in NJ, my crazed, totalitarian clown of a governor is talking about August. Call Mitch and tell him that aid is a...

WASHINGTON: Seema Nanda has announced her decision to step down as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee, the top administrative position in the main Opposition party, ahead of the presidential elections in November. Nanda, 48, became the first Indian-American to be appointed as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in June, 2018.

Observation: the price of Walmart's 'Oak Leaf' wine nearly doubled overnight. What was long priced at 750ml @ $2.95, dropped to $2.50 for a few weeks, then just spiked to >$4. Canary in the coal mine? Might be time to refill supplies, before supply chain disruption increases prices. Similar is being said about meat.

Finding the perfect fringe during these times of confinement may prove to be an expensive gamble after German police went underground to uncover two makeshift hairdressing salons on Saturday. When the officers arrived at the salons, carefully installed in the cellars of two private houses, “people were having their hair done”, local police said in a statement. Two people were waiting for a cut in Elsenfeld and another in a cellar in Momlingen, according to DPA, which claims that “the salons were professionally equipped”. Police have opened investigations for non-compliance with lockdown measures which, in Bavaria, are among the strictest...

"The health crisis is unlike anything we have ever experienced," Calhoun said, before detailing just how far the air travel industry has fallen. With passenger demand down more than 95% from early March, airlines in the U.S. have parked more than 2,800 planes, and airlines globally are on pace to lose $314 billion this year, according to the International Air Transport Association. As a result, Calhoun says airlines are "grounding fleets, deferring airplane orders, postponing acceptance of completed orders, and slowing down or stopping payments." Calhoun says, "It will take two to three years for travel to return to 2019...

Gov. Jay Inslee announced today that Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak are joining Washington, Oregon and California in the Western States Pact -- a working group of Western state governors with a shared vision for modifying stay at home orders and fighting COVID-19.

(CNN) — The Pentagon has officially released three short videos showing “unidentified aerial phenomena” that had previously been released by a private company. The videos show what appear to be unidentified flying objects rapidly moving while recorded by infrared cameras. Two of the videos contain service members reacting in awe at how quickly the objects are moving. One voice speculates that it could be a drone. The Navy previously acknowledged the veracity of the videos in September of last year. They are officially releasing them now, “in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not...

April 28 2020 Tuesday of the Third Week of Easter Reading 1 Acts 7:51—8:1a Stephen said to the people, the elders, and the scribes: “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors. Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it.”When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth...

Mihailovic hinders Rommel May 8, 2014 By Miloslav Samardzic http://kingdom-of-yugoslavia-in-ww2.com/mihailovic-hinders-rommel/ Mihailovic and Rommel The first known German broadsheet announcing the executions of Serbs due to railway sabotage is dated June 12, 1942. On that day, the Germans shot three rail workers in Smederevo, claiming they had destroyed the brakes on a train. US Col. Robert McDowell, the most educated Allied officer in Yugoslavia during the war, says that any true history of WW2 should mention 1942 as the “year of the great Yugoslav, or Serb, counterattack.” Gen. Mihailovic knew that America would join the war, having heard it from President...

Howard Stern announced Monday he's "all in on Joe Biden," saying President Trump "could have been ahead of this curve" on the coronavirus pandemic. Stern made his endorsement on his SiriusXM radio show after a Trump supporter defended the president's Thursday remarks regarding using disinfectant or ultraviolet light to combat the coronavirus, which Trump tried to walk back on Friday as being "sarcastic." "What's it going to take? I don't get it," Stern said of the president's comments. "I don't think there is anyone left who will vote for him." "I am all in on Joe Biden," he later added....

Phyllis Schlafly on the Equal Rights Amendment | Phil Donahue Show 1974 One of Phyllis Schlafly's most well-known and quoted television appearances was on the Donahue Show in 1974.

Looks to be the entire show Video is 45 minutes long

Monkeys appear in Grecian frescoes dating back to the Bronze Age 3,600 years ago, but monkeys aren't native to Greece or the Aegean isles. But it's clear that the artists actually saw these monkeys in Grecian frescoes, or at least talked to someone who did in great detail, because the depictions are so accurate that researchers can identify the monkeys, according to a new study. Vervet monkeys appear in a fresco from Akrotiri, Thera. They're known for their rounded muzzles, a white band on the forehead, an extended tail and elongated limbs -- all accurately shown in the fresco. Baboons...

In an exclusive interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton Sunday night, President Donald Trump’s Senior Advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner explained that the coronavirus pandemic exposed the dangerous reliance the U.S. supply chain has on other countries. “I think the campaign platform that President Trump ran on in 2016 which was basically ‘you have to secure your borders and you have to control your own manufacturing as a national security issue.’ I think those have been totally vindicated positions from the virus and I doubt it will be easy for people to argue against them in the future,” Kushner...

The number of deaths with the coronavirus has risen to 2,274 in Sweden. Mondays usually see a small rise due to a reporting lag over weekends. "Since we don't have much data from which to draw conclusions today, we'll go directly to this image which shows our strategy, to flatten the curve so much that the healthcare sector can deal with the situation. That's our goal, along with protecting those that are especially vulnerable to serious illness," said deputy state epidemiologist Anders Wallensten, referring to the image below. Wallensten emphasised that anyone with any symptoms of illness, including very mild...

HARRISBURG — Twice in the last week, Pennsylvania’s official COVID-19 death count spiked. Then, on Thursday, the number plummeted. Officials from the state Department of Health provided several justifications for the fluctuations, citing technical issues, lengthy investigations, and the addition of “probable” deaths — those considered to be caused by the coronavirus but without confirmation from a test. But facing mounting questions about the accuracy of the count, officials on Thursday removed more than 200 probable deaths from the tally, further complicating the state’s accounting of the pandemic. Health Secretary Rachel Levine said the change was made in an effort...

Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly remains a heroine to many conservatives. Clearly, she is not to the makers of Mrs. America, which debuted on FX on Hulu Wednesday. From the start, Schlafly is shown pretending. She pastes a smile to walk a runway in a red, white and blue bikini at a Republican fundraiser. Once she’s safely facing backstage, the phony smile is dropped. Throughout the first three episodes, Cate Blanchett’s portrayal makes Schlafly seem intelligent, but also cold and desperate to have a voice in the male-dominated political universe. In multiple scenes she becomes annoyed when others try to...
