Not only has Covid-19 exploited weaknesses in health-care systems,Ā The Atlanticās Ed Yong writesĀ that it has seized on just about every weakness in human planning, at least in the US. Simply put itās not justĀ a germ or spore, it has mental andĀ psychological complications added Ā in.
- āFalseĀ dichotomies,ā for instance between sick and well
- Ā Saving lives and saving the economy
- The ātheatricalityā of preventive measures, their efficacy notwithstanding
- āPersonalĀ blameā of those who spread Covid-19 and fall ill from it, above the pursuit of āsystemic fixesā
- Ā A desire to return to normalcyĀ
- Ā Magical thinkingā about a fast end to the crisisĀ
- Ā TheĀ ācomplacency of inexperience,ā as even doctors in yet-to-be hit areas āseemed to forget that viruses spread,ā Ā unsold on the problemās severity given that they hadnāt yet seen it where they lived
- Ā A āreactive rutā that lacked forward thinkingĀ
- Ā And the āhabituation of horror,ā as the emergency has become the normal
Election 2020
FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee thatĀ Russia is trying to actively influence the US elections, chiefly through attempts to ādenigrateā Democratic candidate Joe Biden.Ā
According to Wray, Russia is using social media, proxies, state media and online journals to sow "divisiveness and discord" and attack Bidenās campaign. Biden held a town hall last night, where he cast the United States as unsafe under PresidentĀ T-RUMPĀ andĀ claimed he could unite the country as āAmericaās presidentā rather than a partisan one.Ā
Meanwhile, PresidentĀ T-RUMPĀ criticized what he called āthe liberal indoctrination of Americaās youthāĀ during a Constitution Day speech, and said he wants to create a "national commission to promote patriotic education.ā Ā As history isĀ repeating itself Adolf Hitler thought National patriotic Indoctrination was essential tooā¦
A Real Hero Speaks - Captain ChelseyĀ ā Sullyā Sullenberger III
C(NN) Ā The pilot vaunted for his grace under pressure as he landed an airliner in the Hudson River called President Donald Trump "completely unfit" for office and urged people to "vote him out" in response to a report in The Atlantic magazine that the President disparaged US service members killed in battle and chose to skip a ceremony honoring veterans.
Trump has repeatedly questioned why Americans who served in Vietnam went to war
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger III, whose heroic deed in 2009 came to be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson," unleashed a series of social media posts Friday criticizing Trump and linking to the article, which the President has angrily denied and called "a disgraceful situation."
Later Saturday, a former senior administration official confirmed to CNN that Trump referred to fallen US service members at the Aisne-Marne cemetery in crude and derogatory terms during the November 2018 trip to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
The former official, who declined to be named, largely confirmed reporting from Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic magazine. Ā Fox News, the Associated Press, the New York Times and the Washington Post have also corroborated various parts of The Atlantic's reporting.
"For the first time in American history, a president has repeatedly shown utter and vulgar contempt and disrespect for those who have served and died serving our country," Sullenberger wrote on Facebook.
"While I am not surprised, I am disgusted by the current occupant of the Oval Office. He has repeatedly and consistently shown himself to be completely unfit for and to have no respect for the office he holds," he added.
Sullenberger, a retired Air Force fighter pilot, wrote that he and his father volunteered for military service in wartime and āthat serving a cause greater than oneself is the highest calling, whether in the military or in civilian life."Ā
Trump calls on Fox News to fire reporter who confirmed some parts of Atlantic story
Sullenberger has always "tried to be a voice of reason and to speak in a measured way," but he felt that he had to call out the President's behavior, he wrote. Trump has "completely failed" to uphold his oath of office and "he has admitted that he cannot comprehend the concept of service above self," the pilot wrote.
"He cannot understand selflessness because he is selfish. He cannot conceive of courage because he is a coward. He cannot feel duty because he is disloyal,ā Sullenberger wrote. Ā He concluded his post by arguing that "we owe it not only to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation, but to ourselves and to succeeding generations to vote him out." He posted similar comments to Twitter.
Sullenberger became famous for his calm valor in 2009 as he successfully landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in New York after its engines were knocked out by birds shortly after taking off from LaGuardia Airport. All 155 people on board survived, and Tom Hanks went on to portray the quiet, humble pilot in the 2016 filmĀ āSully." Ā Ā Sullenberger, a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, retired from US Airways in 2010 after 30 years with the airline and served as an aviation safety expert for CBS News from 2011 to 2017. US Airways had its final flight in 2015 after it merged with American Airlines.
RNC - Real Nuts and CrooksĀ CON-Vention
Washington (CNN)Ā TheĀ Republican National ConventionĀ started off with a parade of dishonesty, asĀ expected and itās rumored threeĀ fact-checking computers blew up. Ā Here are some of the most Ā ridiculous and stupid falsehoods from night one of the RNC. Notice no commentary, I do not believe in giving lies and mis-representations any more space. It was four nights ofĀ bullsh*t.
JAR-JAR-Binks: Ā Movie Star Jar-Jar BinksĀ was aĀ GunganĀ maleĀ militaryĀ commander Ā andĀ politicianĀ who played a key role in theĀ Invasion of NabooĀ and theĀ Clone WarsĀ that culminated in theĀ fallĀ of theĀ Galactic RepublicĀ and theĀ riseĀ of theĀ Galactic Empire in Star Wars. Ā I agreed to do the coverageā¦
Star Wars had more truth in itās storyline thanĀ the entireĀ T-RUMP Presidential reality show for the past almost four yearsā¦
He said: Ā Just like in my movie weĀ have some really bad scumbags in the Empire and itās apparentĀ the GOP might just be as bad. Ā They really turn out and believe in their own deep DOO-DOOā¦and we might have to remove all of themā¦
Day Two Of Lies - A Continuation Of Day Oneā¦ Nothing Real, AllĀ Bullsh*tā¦
Hi, Iām Howdy Doody and I just covered Day Two of the Republican ConventionĀ for the FOX news who thought I would be perfect for the job because Doody is my last name.Ā
We all know how much poop comes out at these conventionsĀ and frankly Melania gave me a woody. Just kidding Iāve been dead all my life and if it wasnāt for the guy pulling some strings , IĀ āĀ wood-dentāĀ Ā even speakā¦ luckily I never gotĀ termitusĀ epidermus.
COVID-19:Ā Larry KudlowĀ boringly mentioned the virus. Ā Then fell he asleepā¦from his own lying boredom and stupid comments mostly untrueā¦ the only reason heās onĀ T-RUMPS team is gets toĀ prove heās still aliveĀ even though he is totally a waste of time.
MelaniaĀ T-RUMP: Ā To her credit, she dedicated a significant chunk at the top of her speech to thanking front-line workers and promising her husband wonāt stop until a vaccine has been found. Ā
He might not beĀ around that longā¦ Ā and if he wins he might be looking for wound dressingsā¦ Ā Ā Just Melania struggling to look part ofĀ the program. Ā If she passes on,Ā T-RUMP will have her stuffed soĀ sheĀ can stand behind her man forever, the only part of this entire disgraceĀ that looked well. Ā
Masks:Ā None needed so saysĀ T-RUMPā¦Ā
Mike Pompeo: Ā Pompeo wants to run for president. Heāll have to kill Donny Jr, Ivanka Ā and Nikki Haley firstā¦
Pam Bondi: Ā Who sold her soul toĀ T-RUMP, another mountain climber soon to be out of a job with a horrible presentation.
The Hatch Act: Ā
WhileĀ T-RUMPĀ (and Vice President Mike Pence) are immune from the Hatch Act, So having acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on hand could be a violation of the Hatch Act. Ā Ā
NOTE: Ā Chad WolfĀ wasĀ subpoenaed for not appearing at a CongressionalĀ hearing.
In addition,Ā Wolf of the Department of Homeland Security used an official government position for the purpose of affecting the outcome of an election in violation of the Hatch Act.
On August 25, 2020, Mr. Wolf performed a naturalization ceremony on government property to be aired at the Republican National Convention for the apparent purpose of advancing the President's reelection. During the ceremony in the Great Hall of the White House, the President introduced Mr. Wolf as the Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Wolf administered the Oath of Citizenship to five individuals and stated that he was making his remarks on behalf of the men and women of the Department.
This is an unprecedented politicization of the naturalization ceremony ā an official function of the Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Wolf's participation appears to constitute engaging in political activity while acting in an official capacity.
I DID NOT CARE TO WATCH DAY THREE OR FOUR
AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD THAT I WOULD MISS NOTHING
