Without an imagination
Imagine a world without imagination: What would it be like?
I think the world would be very boring.We wouldn't have all the inventions that we have if not for someones imagination.
I read this writeup about what would happen if people didn't process an imagination.
Here the writeup is:Without imagination, 100% of all science, art, philosophy, spiritual pursuits, and technology would not have happened. Imagination is an effect of the degree of our capacity for sentience, for self-awareness. It is the spark of imagination with which we engage in all these pursuits.
Without imagination, our lives would be similar to those of the so-called lower animals, and this would include being less advance than, arguably, most other mammals. Compared to our lives now, we would have “no life.”

49 plane flyover
The Chiefs were playing the Raiders. AND President Obama had PREVIOUSLY eliminated patriotic military flyovers at large events. A group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes, decided they'd volunteer to SAVE this tradition and pick up the slack.
They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it, they had 48 guys with their own airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event.
Be sure your speakers are turned up. Best if you watch at 'full screen'.... pretty impressive and it makes you proud to be an American.

Excuses...
Much time is wasted on excuses for the behavior of the president and vice president.
A week later articles are still being published about the disinfectant and bright light news briefing. If it wasn't so stupid, the manufacturers of Lysol wouldn't have issued warnings.
I didn't buy the story about sarcasm. I hope you didn't either.
Pence visited the Mayo clinic Tuesday... a hospital filled with patients affected with COVID-19 and he doesn't wear a mask, against hospital policy. His excuse is he didn't know. Uhh... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's the head of the COVID-19 task force. There is NO ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE for that defiance of rules. You cannot get into the grocery store without a mask, what makes you thing elbow bumping hospital patients and no mask be proper protocol?
Reports were the Clinic informed him (via Twitter) of the mask policy before his arrival.
That leads to another problem as Twitter is NOT an official means for communication to a government official.
Today, he visits the GM facility making ventilators. You better fu*king believe he wore a mask there. It's a clean facility making medical equipment. I'd wager if he didn't the supervisor/manager wouldn't give him the tour of the facility.
But... that's only my opinion, as is this blog.
Breaking news... former national security advisor Michael Flynn who pleaded guilty for lying about his Russia contacts is in the process of total exoneration.

Now I know for some time to never ever trust a political person.
I knew I was right for never trusting what a political person ever says.The last few weeks I've been listening to what our Gov. Mike Dewine talks about in regards to the virus.
One minute he says the public will not be ordered to wear masks and then today he says the opposite and that folks won't be ordered to wear masks even though they should do so anyway.
The state of Ohio will be opening up some things on May 1 but schools will remain closed indefinitely for the reminder of the school year.

As the stomach turns..... the "so-called" president unravels
Today from The Guardian;
(continued in my first comment below)
In response to:
Trump is unravelling – even his supporters can't ignore it now
The president is leaning heavily on sarcasm to excuse a range of blunders, but US conservatives are unimpressed
I don’t know what kind of disinfectant Donald Trump has been injecting, but the man does not appear to be well. The president’s lethal medical musing has turned him into (even more of) a global laughing stock and the widespread ridicule has clearly bruised his fragile ego. While Trump has never been a paradigm of calmness or competence, he has become increasingly irate and erratic in recent days. Now even his diehard supporters seem to be cooling towards him. Is the “very stable genius” starting to unravel ?
Let’s start with the president’s weekend tweetstorm, which, even by Trumpian standards, was spectacularly unhinged. On Sunday, Trump lashed out at what he called a “phony story” in the New York Times that claimed he spends his days eating junk food and watching TV. “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see [in the Times] that I am angrily eating a hamberger & Diet Coke in my bedroom,” he tweeted. “People with me are always stunned.” He then deleted the tweet and replaced it with one in which hamburger was spelled correctly. (This was clearly a challenge for him: he has previously misspelled hamburgers “hamberders”.)
It turned out that the hambergers were just an appetiser. A rant about the “Noble” prize, which Trump seems to have confused with the Pulitzer prize, followed. This was subsequently deleted and replaced with a tweet stating it had all been an exercise in sarcasm. He is a master of sarcasm, as we all know.
While none of Trump’s aides seem able to shut down his Twitter account, they are trying to tone down his daily press briefings. Trump didn’t hold a briefing over the weekend as he normally does, while Monday’s event was cancelled and then reinstated. “We like to keep reporters on their toes,” the White House director of strategic communications, Alyssa Farah, tweeted with a winking emoji. She then deleted the tweet – presumably to keep reporters on their toes. Monday’s briefing was notable for the briefness of Trump’s remarks; instead of treating it like a political rally, he ceded the floor to a number of CEOs.
Trump enjoyed a bump in his ratings last month when he stopped downplaying coronavirus and announced a 15-day plan to slow the virus’s spread. During his brief experiment with coherence, 55% of Americans said they approved of the way he was handling the crisis and CNN’s chief political correspondent, Dana Bash, told viewers Trump “is being the kind of leader that people need”.
The tide now seems to have turned. Recent polls show that most Americans are unimpressed with Trump’s handling of the crisis. This includes conservatives: [a Siena College poll released on Monday found that 56% of Republican voters in New York say they trust Andrew Cuomo, the state’s Democratic governor, to decide how to reopen the state over Trump. Even Fox News seems to have cooled towards Trumpism; the network has just cut ties with Diamond & Silk, a pair of rightwing social-media stars who have been two of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders, after they promoted conspiracy theories and disinformation.

Once again Liberals believe Trump's sarcasm and go ballistic
Just like when he asked for Russias help finding Hillary's e-mails.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he was being sarcastic when he raised the possibility of using disinfectant inside people's bodies to fight coronavirus.
Trump said at his daily news briefing on Thursday that scientists should explore whether inserting light or disinfectant into the bodies of people infected with the new coronavirus might help them treat the respiratory illness caused by the virus.
"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen," Trump told reporters Friday at an Oval Office bill signing.
Trump on Thursday raised the issues during the daily White House coronavirus briefing after a Department of Homeland Security presentation detailed finding that the coronavirus deteriorates more quickly when subjected to higher levels of heat, humidity and ultraviolet rays from the sun.
"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it," Trump said, according to The Hill. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting."
Trump also asked if there was a way to use disinfectants on the body "by injection inside or almost a cleaning."
Liberals - Don't you ever get tired of being made fools of by Trump ?

New York City now has its own snitch line!
Comrade Bill de Blasio Announces Snitch Line for New Yorkers to Tell on Social Distance Rule Breakers.
Now the good Mayor de Blasio is encouraging his serfdom to snitch on their neighbors for breaking the social distancing rules.
This is straight out of the Marxist handbook.
