Your daily dose of Donald...
It's never quiet in Trump world. I believe we are up to 3 news stories daily.
Hopefully, we're past the lie about Trump having the power to declassify documents at will. Right?
Let's go with that story anyway and say he declassified documents in his possession at Mar-a-Lago and neglected to over stamp the classified stamp at the top of them. Plausible?
Previous excuses included: I don't have any, I would have returned them if you had asked, The FBI planted them, They're mine, I declassified all of them.
The one detail he forgot is the possession part. It's illegal ( ex-president or not) to have taken them in the first place. Coming up with an excuse of 'I was planning to send them over' reminds me of the guy who was stopped by the police driving around with a kilo of pot in his car. Just as the police are about to arrest him, he blurts out "But officer, I found this pot on the side of the road and was headed to police headquarters to turn it in!"
Get my point?
What else happened? Oh yeah, last week, Donald revealed the FBI spent hours searching through Melania's lingerie. She felt so violated that she could never wear them again (regardless of laundering) and that she had to buy all new underwear.
Is that a tax write-off for the latest fall fashions?
Trump's back on the grifter rally circuit in Pennsylvania and declares war on Biden being an enemy of the state. More on that later...
This week, it's the FBI searching Barron's room. Quoted from one news source he said:
"And even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son — leaving everything they touched in far different condition than it was when they started. Can you believe it?"
If you ask me... no. That is unless it was specified in the search warrant and I didn't see it listed when I scanned the warrant. Why search the room of a 16-year old kid?
Was he scanning documents for dad. Hmmm...
This weekend I came in contact with a real live Trumpster and a few of my friends asked do you really think he won the election? His reply started with Hunter Biden's laptop. I got the feeling he may be one of CS's bloggers, but I was afraid to ask!
It must have been a close encounter with a Trump Borg having him repeat the same phrases I see here.

No, it's not just like the flu
In response to:
Is the new coronavirus like flu? No. It kills 26 times more – Portugal
March 6, 2020
The Director-General of Health, Graça Freitas, compared the appearance of the new coronavirus subtype, Covid-19, to the outbreak of a common flu, saying that the Directorate-General for Health would be working withwith a scenario identical to that which existed in 2009, when influenza A – also known as Influenza A / H1N1. The pandemic took less than a month to arrive in Portugal and caused 122 deaths in the country, with 166,922 cases registered until August 2010 – when the end of the pandemic was declared.
The data say, however, that the new type of coronavirus is not only a disease that spreads faster than common flu or influenza A, but is also a more lethal virus.
Three times more viral than a common flu
A common flu has a transmissibility of 1.3 points, which means that every 10 infected people pass the disease to 13 people. The number is used to measure the potential of an epidemic, translating the degree of reproduction of the disease: the higher the number, the greater the degree of exposure and threat of the disease.
In 2009, the H1N1 pandemic had a transmissibility of 1.5 and could not be contained, with estimates suggesting that 11–21% of the world's population has been infected. Initial studies on the new coronavirus, Covid-19, pointed to a 2-3 point transmissibility, more than double the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, which today is just one of the four types of common flu.
A graph showing the evolution of COVID-19 and H1N1 in its first 31 days shows that three times more cases of the new coronavirus have been confirmed in relation to influenza A in the first 31 days.
But the latest mathematical model by researchers at Xiamen University in China, published in the scientific journal Infectious Diseases of Poverty points to estimates of transmission of isolated surfaces in humans of 2.3 and 3.58 in person-to-person transmissions – which explains the dizzying rise in the number of cases of infection.
This last number, the most worrying, translates into a transmissibility almost three times greater than a common flu and concerns the introduction of an affected individual in susceptible environments: closed spaces, with a large population or without ventilation. For comparison, common flu infected 20 to 30 million people in the European Union last year.
In comparison with known outbreaks of other coronavirus subtypes, the transmissibility of Covid-19 in environments is greater than that seen in 2012 with the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), from 0.8 to 1.3, but less than that recorded in 2002 with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), 2.9 points.
Covid-19 is 26 times more deadly than a common flu
Although H1N1 affected between 700 million and 1.4 billion people, its mortality rate was, for the proportion of the disease, relatively low: between 0.01 and 0.08%, with estimates of 150 to 575 thousand deaths. In relation to the peak of H1N1, which had mortality rates of 0.4% in its early stages, the new coronavirus is seven times more deadly, with mortality rates of 2.5% in the first 31 days.

Russian social media abuzz with the rumor
The rumor is Ukraine has crossed the Dniepre River in force, and pierced the first Russian line in the vicinity of Kozachi Laheri and is already about 800 meters past that. A public satellite fly by of the area is still several hours away. There is concern Ukraine may also have gotten some vehicles across the river (somehow). The location of the incursion will provide opportunity for Ukraine to sever the E58 route. Previously Russian VDV (airborne (what remains of them) troops) had manned the line, but they were pulled out earlier this week and sent to fighting to the North and were supposedly replaced by regular infantry. As stated, this is still a not confirmed rumor on Russian Social Media not yet publicly confirmed by Ukraine.

The Atlanta shooting
From the video I seen, and from what I heard about how it went down, to me it looks like the police shooting in Atlanta was justified. Why the Atlanta Mayor would want the two police officers fired before any investigation shows the type of incompetent corrupt mayor she may be. Why would the Atlanta Police Chief feel that she had to resign this morning?!
The officer had no other choice but to shoot Brooks, since Brooks had one of the officer's taser and turned around with taser in hand and had planned on using it against the officer. Now, as to why the officer felt the need to shoot Brooks three times remains to be seen.
This is not another George Floyd in my opinion.
But when it comes to more and more people objecting, rioting, and burning anything and everything in site no matter if the police is justified, to me I chalk it up to more useful idiots doing the devil's work. Unfortunately, evil is growing more and more in these times.
Feel free to add your opinion on this event.

Room with a view
The view from my window is uninteresting; in fact, after three years of looking at the scene with absolutely nothing happening It had become almost unbearably boring. As with so many things that have to be put up with in this life, my mind’s response was to adjust its tolerance threshold; it did a recalibration of the point where things start seeming to be interesting.
Now I set an alarm on my phone to make sure I don’t miss the man across the square taking his dog for its early evening walkabout. I’ve invented a little game where I try to guess which houses the postman will visit and which ones he’ll miss. The postman usually wins the game; I suspect he has the answers written down somewhere.
Sometimes the parked cars might be in a more interesting configuration than normal, or the bin men may have left the emptied bins cluttering up the pavement more untidily than usual. The unpredictability of such events makes them all the more entertaining when they occur.
A fascinating cloud drifted by the other day, and here’s me complaining that nothing ever happens.

The last day....or is it? UPDATED
Great Britain to leave EU !
Today is the last day of campaigning in the so called Brexit election, with both sides slinging mud at the other hoping some will stick
the BBC news service, once renown for it's impartiality, on the suffice at least, has I believe shown it's true colours in the last week 
by hiding some news items & plugging others, one item having at least having two stories listed on there headlines every day for a week.
Like everyone in the UK I was saddened by the murder of the MP Jo Cox, whom I'm in little doubt was a genuine caring person, however I'm now coming to the conclusion some see this as manner from heaven as far as there campaign goes, but all is not what it seems even there, big play & massive public support has been seen for Jo's causes, but even the most worthy people can be fooled sometimes, following a post I saw on FB I've done a little research on one of these "causes" she supported & is now receiving public donations, White Helmets, on the face of it a humanitarian organisation currently involved in Syria.
White Helmets, founded by James Le Mesurier, a humanitarian hmmmm, former UK Army Intelligence officer, who went on to become a private contractor in organisations like the American firm Blackwater, funded by western governments & George Soros, remember him, the man who nearly bankrupt the UK on Black Wednesday, personally making over a billion pounds in 24 hours betting against the pound in the doomed EU Exchange Rate Mechanism & now a vocal pro EU supporter, yes I wonder why
there are accusations that White Helmets are nothing more than a tool to get rid of Assad, using pictures taken from all over & claiming them as proof of Assad's use of barrel bombs against his population, I'm sure this story will rumble on for some time to come, but we Brits have only today to make up our minds about who to believe & who's telling porkies to further their own ends.
