Drip, Drip, STOP!
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday put a temporary hold on the disclosure to a Democratic-led House of Representatives committee of grand jury material redacted from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The block will remain in place while the court considers what action to take. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in March that the materials had to be disclosed to the House Judiciary Committee and refused to put that decision on hold.

Dept. of Education Puts The Screws To Public Colleges
When Congress allocated money for higher education in the coronavirus rescue package, it set aside nearly $350 million for colleges that had "significant unmet needs."
Most of that money has now been allotted by the U.S. Department of Education to small, private colleges that serve just a fraction of U.S. college students. Meanwhile, public colleges — which serve more than 70% of all college students – are facing a steep drop in state funding.

Scorpion/Wildfire Update: No scorpions inside my home today but I smashed the twin of yesterday's intruder with my foot in my garden. He was scurrying across the gravel. Shudder.
My son's home is safe so far and he may return home tomorrow.

Thursday, May 7, 2020

Today started off with a giant scorpion in my window track.

Did I ever tell you how much I dislike scorpions?  I immediately sprayed all my window tracks -- a more correct description would be that I saturated my windows with insecticide. They love to hide in nooks and crannies. Ewwwww. Shudder.

I posted late yesterday because my son called and said he was evacuating from a wildfire. He's still evacuated at this writing and his home has not been affected. He wrote a funny line: Do you know what is an absolute treat of an experience? Evacuating your home during a pandemic due to a nearby wildfire! 

I've been watching the wind direction in his area and he's in good shape -- so far. Thoughts and prayers that the winds don't shift.

Since the scorpion shot my morning, and my mom instincts are all a tither, today's edition will be a collection of memes.

Oh, one more thing, Trump's valet has the coronavirus. Shouldn't Trump self-quarantine for 14 days?


One of Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus











































The Stairway to Heaven on Oahu, Hawaii, is also known as the Haiku Stairs. 3,922 stairs lead up the imposing mountain ridge, often at a vertical incline, with only a handrail to catch you from falling into the valley below. All I want to know is -- are there scorpions?

Stay safe and peaceful.

How Kushner's Volunteer Force Led a Fumbling Hunt for Medical Supplies

How Kushner's Volunteer Force Led a Fumbling Hunt for Medical Supplies
This spring, as the United States faced a critical shortage of masks, gloves and other protective equipment to battle the coronavirus pandemic, a South Carolina physician reached out to the Federal Emergency Management Agency with an offer of help.



FYI:  Jared's father, Charles Kushner is an American real estate developer and a convicted felon. He founded Kushner Companies in 1985. In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

He will be remembered for his corruption. He will be remembered for his criminality. He will be remembered for his cruelty, his incompetence, his failure to address COVID-19 early on, his failure to enact a national strategy, & his reckless reopening causing many more deaths. - Steven Beschloss





Things Are Not Going To Get Better By Lollygagging Around
Infection rate rising outside New York as states open up.
Take the New York metropolitan area’s progress against COVID-19 out of the equation and the numbers show the rest of the U.S. is moving in the wrong direction.

Paint It Black. No, Not A Rolling Stones' Song.
President Donald Trump has reportedly been holding meetings about the southern border wall amid the coronavirus pandemic, and is set on painting it black.
According to the Washington Post, which obtained “government contracting estimates,” the president “has not let go of the idea” of painting the border wall black, despite a predicted $500 million cost to the paint job, “insisting that the dark color will enhance its forbidding appearance and leave the steel too hot to touch during summer months.”
