Day 265 Of The Dictatorship Of COVID-19: Tyranny Came Before The Election Welcome to the weekend. This post title about "Game Over" in Venezuela once the late Hugo Chavez was elected President in 1998 the freedom of the country and its economy doomed to their eventual fate. We've experienced this tyranny before our 2020 election that is said to have elected Joe Biden as our President here in the USA. The COVID-19 tyranny first unleashed in March and then lessened for a bit back again. Big Government like colleges, universities, public schools being kept open and Big Business like chain...

A security firm in Tennessee cutting a deal with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Ellison's office probing an allegation that armed guards were being recruited for polling places in Minnesota... Efforts by President Trump's campaign to monitor activity at ballot drop boxes in Philadelphia with video recording may be voter intimidation. That's the view of... Pennsylvania's Supreme Court with an elected 5-2 Democrat majority ruling that that election ballots cannot be rejected for mismatched signatures... Is this all just a political stunt? That's what Republican lawmakers here in York County, Pennsylvania are asking... More towns added to Connecticut's Red Alert...

Kimberly Guilfoyle's Full Remarks at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

From the dog-eared “you just can’t make this stuff up” file we find a TikTok video that shows a police officer explaining why he was assigned to work at a “defund the police” protest that day, and it’s 2020 in a nutshell:

Dear NFL: If a percentage of those who play for do what has been going on the last few weeks, come next Sunday I will take a hike and not even bother to turn the on/off switch. Sincerely, This Former NFL Fan

I turn off CNN or FOX when they get nauseatingly anti-Trump. I just don't have time for the bullsnot. So I come to FR for relief. A bastion of conservatism in the heart of America. But there's a problem. I'm starting to see more Anti-Trump stuff here than I see on FOX or CNN or anywhere else. This will hurt FR, badly, if JR doesn't fix it. Thinking people come here to avoid the urine and feces everywhere else. Let's not latrine this place up too much, especially in obeisance to the false god of "publishing the news..." If it's...

One booming business in Silicon Valley is security — but not the digital kind. Insiders tell Page Six that the young tech billionaires are forced to hire armies of guards after threats from unstable users [emphasis mine].

It may have looked like they were ready for war or some deranged person looking for his late Social Security benefits. But it was only Federal Protective Service officers with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who were conducting a random training operation early Tuesday morning when they surprisingly showed up at the Social Security Administration office in downtown Leesburg. With their blue and white SUVs circled around the Main Street office, at least one official was posted on the door with a semiautomatic rifle, randomly checking identifications. And other officers, some with K-9s, sifted through the building. "I thought...

So much for president perfect eh libs? I thought this was the guy that was going to restore our standing in the world! From the conservative standpoint his trip to Britain was a smashing success. A shorter way to put that is, "we told you so!"He should open up a business... The menu would be pretty robust: France: Enough already! If I wanted red "whine" I'd go to my local party meeting. India: "I'm not going anywhere near those dots, I've never had to connect any and I ain't starting now!" Japan: "Seriously? Just because I'm bowing in this gay...

"Government Is Funding Technology to Monitor People's Health-Care Behavior by Having Them 'Visit' with Computers" SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - “Health-care professional time is very, very expensive,” says Robert Friedman of Boston Medical Center. “We’re not going to constrain health-care costs by giving patients absolutely unlimited time with doctors or nurses--they’re too expensive.” In an effort to increase efficiency in the treatment of certain health-care problems, the federal government has provided Friedman with about $22 million in grants since 1995 to develop technology that can save people actual visits to a doctor's office by allowing them to make "virtual" visits in which...

Despite NASA’s decision to keep its Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and Ares 1 and Ares 5 launchers solely US systems, it is considering international co-operation for the lunar lander. The US agency is currently discussing a global exploration strategy with other agencies, such as the European Space Agency. Following a workshop in April there is a synthesis team working on an international architecture for exploring the Moon and Mars. NASA is determining what its Constellation programme will do and what international partners can do. “If internationals came up with a lander, that’s good,” said NASA Constellation programme manager, Jeffrey Hanley,...

"Goodbye, farewell and amen" Life's changes are always such that you never expect them, and they take a minute or three to get used to when they occur. My life is taking a turn now that is forcing me to give up writing Ramblings' Journal. I've accepted a new position that will preclude me from continuing my writings here. So I'm pulling the plug on R/J in order to focus on the new opportunity that has been placed before me. Contrary to the opinions of others, I'm not running for office (I don't have the patience), nor am I joining...
