It's sad that he's not around to reassure us with all the misinformation being put out. He was on for 30 minutes just now and that was reassuring. Unfortunately we have to prepare for life without him. Like Johnny Carson there will be no worthwhile replacement but this will hit harder. I'm not giving up on his health but It will be up to the rest of us as there is no one worthwhile to turn to.

John Harrison (Alex Kendrick) is a high school basketball coach whose team is just about to win their state championship. In the last few seconds of the game, however, his son Ethan misses the shot that would have sealed the deal, and the team loses narrowly. If that isn’t bad enough, it is announced that a major steel plant in the town (and thus its largest employer) is closing, and dispersing to other areas in the country. Because of this, many of the town’s residents will have to relocate. This causes major, transformational changes for the school. The school’s principal,...

Yes, especially when jails and prisons are releasing inmates early.Law-abiding citizens want the right to buy a gun, especially in the midst of a pandemic. Police have stopped responding to many 911 calls, and massive numbers of inmates are being released early from prison. If shortages become more severe or if lots of police fall ill, chaos may very will ensue. People would rather be safe than sorry. If the police can’t be there to provide protection, people are far safer if they have a gun when confronted by a criminal. That is particularly true for the most vulnerable citizens,...

On Tuesday President Donald Trump read off a Gateway Pundit article headline to FOX News anchor Bill Hemmer during their interview, “NY Gov. Cuomo Rejected Buying Recommended 16,000 Ventilators in 2015 for Pandemic, Established Death Panels and Lottery Instead.“ The TGP report written by contributor Kristinn Taylor was based on a column published earlier this month by the esteemed former New York Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey (who served under Governor George Pataki), a February report by the New York Times and a 2015 press release by the Cuomo administration. And we also discovered evidence from a New York State Health...

Wow just look at the traffic. Lots of folks just going to Hawaii for some sun and fun.... https://www.flightradar24.com/28.46,-95.12/4

This past Saturday, President Trump touted a possible cure for Coronavirus (COVID-19) through a Tweet. It’s a combination of hydroxychloroquine and a commonly used antibiotic, azithromycin. According to the CDC, “Hydroxychloroquine is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and porphyria cutanea tarda.” It has also been used successfully to fight malaria. A recent well-controlled clinical study conducted by Didier Raoult​ M.D/Ph.D, et. al in France showed that 100% of patients that received a combination of HCQ and Azithromycin tested negative and were virologically cured within 6 days of treatment. You read that correct. This was a very...

Do you feel the need for speed? If so, here are some cartridges that deliver the fastest bullet velocity currently available in a centerfire rifle cartridge. There has always been a certain obsession among hunters and shooters with achieving the fastest bullet velocity possible. This is especially important among varmint and predator hunters. After all, an extremely high velocity load will generally have a flatter trajectory and more resistance to wind drift than a similar load at a slower velocity. Increasing the speed of a bullet will offer a bit more room for error when estimating the range or wind,...

Raj and I are going to the old farts hour at our local market, maybe they’ll have potatoes today.So this advice will have to suffice in lieu of a post: Good advice at any time I suspect, just a bit harder right now.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

A little break from politics. Comedian guy is making fun of some southern mommas during Cornavirus isolation.  It is hillarious and I am sure all of you at one point have run into women like this.  Enjoy!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obNl-B78_do

Cooking the books to keep people terrified, and for the economic takedown to continue apace? One can’t help but think… 627 new deaths with coronavirus, not from coronavirus. THAT’S one hell of a precision. Why was it edited out almost immediately? Oh, I think we ALL know why. Numbers are being cooked so that anyone who dies is tested, and if coronavirus is present, the person is counted as a CORONAVIRUS DEATH, even if they died from cancer, or a head injury, or… seasonal H1N1 flu. Remember, in the U.S., in an average flu season year, 150 people die EVERY...

National Review’s Jim Geraghty reminded us Monday not to forget what Rep. Jim Clyburn told around 200 members of the House Democratic caucus on a conference call last Thursday: “This [the coronavirus relief bill] is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.” . . . Speaker Nancy Pelosi thinks we’re all stupid, though, and told CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday afternoon that everything House Democrats were suggesting in their relief bill had to do with COVID-19.

Rashida Tlaib just sunk the Democrats with a stunning proposal to deal with the coronavirus including giving direct cash to illegal immigrants. Her plan says: “In response to the Coronavirus crisis, the Automatic BOOST to Communities Act would immediately provide a U.S. Debit Card pre-loaded with $2000 to every person in America. Each card would be recharged with $1,000 monthly until one year after the end of the Coronavirus crisis. Guaranteeing Universality “Every person” includes: Dependents, so a couple with two children would receive 4 x $2000 = $8000 in total. Non-citizens, including undocumented people, permanent residents, and temporary visitors...

How about a little old fashioned foot stomping knee slapping musicality to greet this Taco Tuesday? It’s a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll – served up with a grand splash of super funk. If you’ve been looking for an official Wuhan Coronavirus theme song this is it: music for the Great Undoing. If you haven’t had your coffee yet this studio version will suffice in its stead. If you have already had your covfefe and prefer to get up on your feet and dance with abandon to the Great Quietus, here is the live [she said...

Many other media outlets aren’t reporting that the Arizona man didn’t die after ingesting the anti-malaria drug chloroquine. He died after self-medicating himself with a product used to clean fish tanks:

Joe Biden doesn’t occupy a political office, isn’t a great orator and is basically stuck in his house. It’s not much of a platform for projecting leadership during the coronavirus crisis. That was laid bare Monday as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee gave his first coronavirus shadow briefing webcast. Biden’s been outgunned by President Donald Trump and outshone by some of the nation’s governors, among them New York’s Andrew Cuomo, whose crisis response efforts are drawing rave reviews. The former vice president was staid and somber, even as his remarks were marred by a few minor real-time snafus and slip-ups....

Just some blues I have been booting up lately. Enjoy. Or not.

Update: The Worldometer later moved back their total US coronavirus cases to 32,356 which puts the rate at 1.25% — still much lower than the 3.4% rate estimated by the WHO. * * * * * * * * * * * The US coronavirus mortality rate dipped to 1.25% on Sunday using deaths (396) divided by confirmed cases (38,167). That number is actually SIGNIFICANTLY lower if you factor in ALL OF THE CASES that are not being reported, where people are not feeling sick enough to be tested. That number could be 6-7 times higher than the current number...

Some day your children or grandchildren will ask you what you did during the Wuhan Coronavirus War. Ensure that you use your time such that you’ll have something to tell them other than “I binged crappy shows on Netflix.”Do some research, maybe learn a new skill:Let’s just say that some people were more productive than others during the Great Pandemic of 2020.Lucy’s redecorated stairwell, circa 2020Posted from: MOTUS A.D.
