Have I ever mentioned that I am distantly related to Abe Lincoln?

Not to ruin your upcoming weekend plans, Talent, but Put-in-Bay has announced their first outbreak. I'm just floored that the bars of South Bass Island might be operating anything other than a healthy, clean environment.

God knows why but I did research on that tweet. "Nightmare54" is an owner/DJ of a radio station in Kansas City. The account he tweeted that threat at isn't he real Jaden McNeil. It was a parody account and "Nightmare54" claims it was a "joke" to get the white supremacists riled up.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View Post
The parody Jaden McNeil account appears to have been suspended.Comment

I can't decide if, as Fauci spoke of today, that we could have 100K new cases per day is bad or if it means the virus' GR will cause local officials to implement mitigation strategies that will choke off personal mobility and business activity to the point that life as I know it - and perhaps others here know it - will end.
Meanwhile, Hanni and talent are preparing for a certain Orwellian - or is it a Maoist - future..... and one of them is planning retirement in Poland (BTW, Hanni, you won't face Russian tanks headed toward NATO enclaves living in Poland - that fear is very 80s). Russia is more likely, along with China having a separate agenda from the Ruskies, to wage a significant and effective cyber-warfare campaign that will immobilize western democracies. You can add that to list of things to worry about.
..... and anyone that has a FB, Twitter or any other social media accounts mentioned in the last 5 pages of posts here, and worse delves into the history of such posters that frequent these cesspools of misinformation, is worthy of LMFAO comments, a lot of them. Crazy. It did occupy most conversation today and that was a huge waste of time. I could care less if these places are public or private, legally or illegally regulated and to what standard that occurs or not. Are they really a source of reliable information? Bwaahaha.
I did learn today that the US is failing at three things in the battle v. COVID - the one that caught my eye was contact tracing. The solution? We don''t have one because it's too hard to do contract tracing when you are having 100,000 cases per day. WTF.
I like Fauci but his comments today sucked. President Roosevelt to the media hungry for stories in late 1941: "we are kicking the Japs assess in the Pacific." The truth was that after Pearl, the Japanese Imperial Navy under Admiral Yamamoto owned the Western Pacific, were gobbling up islands on their way to a land invasion of the US and brutally running an Army led flanking operation to protect those gains through China and SE Asia. We were in deep shit but FDR provided leadership and inspiration. Churchill was waging an air war over London flashing the Victory sign at every photo op while the German Luftwaffe was laying waste to Great Britain in preparation for Operation n Sea Lion - the German plan to invade GB.
Instead, facing an equal adversary this time in the form of a pandemic, we have our president in a bunker and Fauci giving up. Fuck it.
Anyway, I think the message that the folks can't ignore that the virus spreads like a mother and pay fucking attention to masking and social distancing if you must be inside, don't go crazy in bars and clubs, all of that, is getting out. In S. FL, I'm seeing action - not that I like it all because I think you can close down a bar not all bars if you can ID a super spreading event or circumstance. Research says you can if, even with limited contract tracing resources, they are targeted ..... I'm seeing that local officials are seeing that and spending money to hire more people to contact trace. It's hard work but absolutely must get done, can be done despite what Fauci whines about - terrible. I'm optimistic although several Caribbean Islands are looking awfully appealing just in case this gets fucked up and the Maoists take control of the organs of US government.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

I don't think Fauci is giving up. I think its his way of pleading with Putin's bitch, one last time, to DO SOMETHING. Here's your chance to save the day and use me as the foil. HHHEEELLLLLLOOOOOO.

Lauren Boebert, a restaurant owner who reopened in defiance of Governor's covid orders and is a Qanon believer appears to have won the Republican primary for Colorado's 3rd District, defeating the 5-term incumbent Scott Tipton. Tipton was part of the great Tea Party class of 2010. This district represents almost the entire western half of Colorado. Would have been a safe Republican seat had Tipton won renomination but is probably at least competitive now.
Also Colorado but it'll be Hickenlooper vs Gardner officially now.Comment

From my NYT's Morning Briefing:
Effective yesterday, The New York Times began capitalizing the word “Black” when describing people and cultures of African origin. “We believe this style best conveys elements of shared history and identity, and reflects our goal to be respectful of all the people and communities we cover,” Dean Baquet, the executive editor, and Phil Corbett, another senior editor, wrote in a memo.
We will retain lowercase treatment for “white.” While there is an obvious question of parallelism, there has been no comparable movement toward widespread adoption of a new style for “white,” and there is less of a sense that “white” describes a shared culture and history.
I was driving home yesterday thinking about this: It's likely that the history of the US that I was taught and grew up believing was accurate is allegedly not at all accurate because it was formulated by a privileged class of white Americans. That history, especially as it relates to America's history, it would seem, is being erased because it is offensive to some.
We've seen this sort of thing happen in other countries most prominently by Islamoterrorist political movements such as the Taliban. In 2001 Taliban and loosely connected ISIS leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar ordered statues of the Buddhas in Afghanistan destroyed because they offended one group, namely the Taliban and those who practices the Islamic faith as it was defined by them. The world was horrified when they were actually blown up. No longer - here in America its perfectly acceptable to deface, tear down and destroy historical statuary, well, because it is offensive.
Look, I'm all for identifying, understanding and mitigating injustice in America and around the world and I don't care which race is being subjected to it but what is going on here, fostered by activism among a group of Americans and ignored by civil authorities, is a troublesome.
I prefer not to have the American history I was taught to be erased because it offends some and as if it did not exist or should not have existed. History is to be understood. It is designed to inform. You eliminate or ignore it at your own risk.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

It would be nice to see some leadership on this issue from someone who, in theory, could actually stand up to the inmates. I hope he stands strong. My bet is he reverses course sooner rather than later.Joe Biden says that the government has an "obligation" to protect monuments to people like Thomas Jefferson and Christopher Columbus
I'm not sure there is a difference. I guess Maoist is specific type of Orwellian future. And, I'm not preparing for the Orwellian future. That probably won't get here while I'm alive. But, I will be alive to watch the complete deconstruction and re-writing of the United States and its history. I'm certain of that. I will probably be around to see socialist policies implemented, though I won't be around to see full-on socialism. My one hope, I guess, is that the Ds are still beholdent enough to businesses that they won't go full on French/Culturual/Red revoluion and my pension will survive in at least some reduced form.Meanwhile, Hanni and talent are preparing for a certain Orwellian - or is it a Maoist - future.
As I said, I'm certain about where the U.S. and its history is going. But, they have to accomplish that first. They can't re-do the entire US w/o tearing down its history first. And that's happening right now.
Speaking of things in that regard -- did anyone catch the #EndSTEM or whatever day? STEM is racist, don't you know. Now, that's truly the far left crackpots leading that. But, unfortunately, those are the crackpots that are driving this -- through their preposterous "critical theory" nonsense and the students that come through it.
But, yeah -- Science and Math are racist. And it's only a tiny group now. But, think about where kneeling during the national anthem or removing statutes of US Grant were 5 years ago. The train is coming and coming fast.
I hope you're right that good, decent people of non-coastal US will reject this bullshit loudly in 2022 and 2024, but I'm not as confident as you, Buchanan.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Black people are a homegenous blob that thinks a single way. White people are diverse in thought.Effective yesterday, The New York Times began capitalizing the word “Black” when describing people and cultures of African origin. “We believe this style best conveys elements of shared history and identity, and reflects our goal to be respectful of all the people and communities we cover,” Dean Baquet, the executive editor, and Phil Corbett, another senior editor, wrote in a memo.
