Until the pandemic : Bill who?

Grave  doubts whether he would rise to a challenge if there were one.

There were was.  He did.

With  no dog in this fight -for my  New Bedford  ancestors Fort Sumpter and Appomatox were surely less important than the current cost of twine for the nets )-my reaction is the Black Historians should settle for half  a  cake

And yes , accepting half the truth. (Do we ever get the full the trutth.?)

The   descendants of the "lost cause" are going to visit the graves once a year, and briefly 

remember part of their story. Let them! Because you can't change it,

Along with murdering  30 ex slaves in New Orleans probably half the murderers had

We can't "win" in a combat with Right to Life. Try to assist them instead.

Why not?

There was full justification for tonight 's riots. And they shouldn 't have happened..

We are  partly civilized human beings, most of us  .I certainly don´t include the murderous cop. Heś an ass hole.

For me it brings to mind  Obie who spent the 20s as a submariner- although he was lucky enough to surface in the 40s commanding a cruiser.

 Donald ‘s final , and last, role of the dice. . Because , sadly ,we  probably  can’ t yet completely stop , while a portion of his ¨base¨ still agrees that  he should be indulged in attempting to ¨ restore”¨the economy”.(Perhaps with  Secretary of Treasury  Jared    moving to   660 Sixth Avenue- cut down his commute.)

What we may be able , and should certainly try to  do, is to make sure it’s final. And  only.

Bill Gates wants to try and produce a vacine that is  95%  effective.

That 's good enough

90 % would be grand . But not if it will need 60 days. Capitalism wouldn't survive if we have to wait  that long for the next installment. .And we don t know how to survive without  capitalism .Not saying it can t be done. But that we 've haven t  yet done it .

We need 300 million masks and ,say, 5 million Ventilators. Fine.  order them   made. Next week,

How would Jay feel  about John being a Director of Burisma? Or Karen B. Peetz? Would she be OK?  Or Richard J Swift ?

Would any/all  of them know sufficiently   more about oil extraction than Hunter Biden so Jay would be more comfortable with them in Burisma?

Of course not.
