  1. The covid 19 disaster changed everything for this election . What will the U.S. and world economy look like in Nov ? Will voters trust Biden's advisors ? W Bush advisors were a disaster for wars and the economy. I liked W , he was a good leader and nice guy but listened to people like Cheney.
  2. This town of 170,000 replaced some cops with medics and mental health workers. It's worked for over 30 years (CNN)Around 30 years ago, a town in Oregon retrofitted an old van, staffed it with young medics and mental health counselors and sent them out to respond to the kinds of 911 calls that wouldn't necessarily require police intervention. In the town of 172,000, they were the first responders for mental health crises, homelessness, substance abuse, threats of suicide -- the problems for which there are no easy fixes. The problems that, in the hands of police, have often turned violent. Today, the program, called CAHOOTS, has three vans, more than double the number of staffers and the attention of a country in crisis. CAHOOTS is already doing what police reform advocates say is necessary to fundamentally change the US criminal justice system -- pass off some responsibilities to unarmed civilians. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/05/us/cahoots-replace-police-mental-health-trnd/index.html
  3. Now that high risk people especially nursing homes are better protected the death rate is going down. Younger victims and better treatment now saves lives. Just don't overwhelm the hospitals in hot spots with careless behavior. If covid causes long term lung damage young people should be warned.
  4. Supermarkets snub coconut goods picked by monkeys The monkeys are snatched from the wild and trained to pick up to 1,000 coconuts a day, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said. In a statement, Waitrose said: "As part of our animal welfare policy, we have committed to never knowingly sell any products sourced from monkey labour." Male monkeys are able to pick up to 1,000 coconuts a day, Peta says. It's thought that a human can pick about 80. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53276071 That's pretty cool as long as the monkeys are treated well

  15. Woman claims Ghislaine Maxwell raped her '20-30 times'; willing to testify: 'She is just as evil as Jeffrey Epstein' Jane Doe claims years of sexual abuse came to an end only after she became pregnant with Jeffrey Epstein’s baby https://www.foxnews.com/us/ghislaine-maxwell-rape-testify-evil-epstein
  16. I just don't like long lines . The polling place I've gone to for over 35 years was closed for the June 23 primary , elderly poll workers called in not to show up due to covid. This is the first year me and family are voting mail in just to avoid long line if it hits the fan in Nov.
  17. Trump accused Obama of treason and many insults, what better way to get even if he could help defeat Trump.
  18. If Barack became Biden's chief advisor , and Biden won , think of how republicans would react.
  19. I've always been for border security and only allow legal immigration with proper vetting.
  20. Doctors: For all of our patients, we prescribe vote at home https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/03/opinions/doctors-covid-vote-at-home-martin-meese/index.html I'll follow doctor's orders. The Nov election results will likely be delayed to count all the mail ins
  21. Put them in prison or deport them . Many are needed in farming and meat packing plants that most americans won't work.
  22. If Michelle Obama were VP , Barack could be the unofficial President to coach Biden along.
  23. Susan Rice is well qualified for VP , although Michelle Obama might be more popular with Barack to guide her.
  24. Trump touts business gains, warns of 1929-level economic 'crash' if he loses election https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-crash-election
