Oh, I should leave this here, too.

Supreme Court blocks release of Russia probe documents The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked the House of Representatives from getting secret grand jury testimony of ex-special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The court in an unsigned order kept previously undisclosed details from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election out of the hands of Democratic lawmakers at least until early summer. The high court will decide then whether to extend its hold. </snip>

At the press briefing today Kayleigh McEnany laid out all the things Rice was "too busy" doing, including some sort of passing of the baton event with Flynn! It was the last 4 minutes of the presser. When it becomes available, it is worth the listen of those few minutes. Or, scroll to the last few minutes of the full briefing:

So, more: Staff member booked after altercation with LSUPD officers On June 13, 26-year-old University staff member Rebekah Jones was booked on one count of battery on a police officer, one count of remaining after forbidden and two counts of resisting arrest, Scott said. Scott said officers arrived at the Sea Grant building when Jones refused to leave at the request of LSU Human Resources. Scott said Jones initiated physical contact against two LSUPD officers while resisting arrest and officers were forced to subdue her. </snip> DeSantis: Former manager of coronavirus dashboard 'not a data scientist;' faces cyber-stalking charge </snip> Records in the Leon County Clerk of Court website show Rebekah Jones was involved in cases matching what the governor said. In October 2017 and in June 2019, a temporary injunction for stalking was filed against her in Leon County. Those cases are closed. In July 2019, a stalking case was filed by the state of Florida against Jones. The case remains open. FOX 13 has reached out to Jones, but we have not heard back. Sexually harassing and stalking an ex-boyfriend. </snip> Jones also has an extensive criminal history in Leon County, where she’s been arrested and charged with three felonies, including one for robbery, and a handful of misdemeanor cases including “sexual cyberstalking,” a case where she created a website and used it to sexually harass her ex-boyfriend. The website has been taken down, but images from the case exist in Leon County court records. Most of the charges filed against her came after she was hired by the Department of Health, so they would not have turned up in any background check. </snip>

He promised it the other day, he signed:

Heat and humidity.

People have wondered who flipped. This is an interesting admission (not that anyone thought otherwise).

and

I KNOW!!! The#resistance sure can pick 'em. Just a teeny-tiny bit of journalistic curiosity would have been enough to have run fast and far from that woman instead of making her the touchstone for their cause celebre.

Wut!

People laughed, but there is far too much true in this statement.

China launches new Twitter accounts, 90,000 tweets in COVID-19 info war China has pushed out 90,000 tweets since the start of April from 200 diplomatic and state media accounts in a COVID-19 information war offensive. China has launched a Twitter offensive in the COVID-19 information war, more than doubling its number of official government tweets since January and in recent days using the platform to spread a conspiracy theory that the virus came from a U.S. government lab. "The #US keeps calling for transparency & investigation. Why not open up Fort Detrick & other bio-labs for international review? Why not invite #WHO & int'l experts to the US to look into #COVI19 source & response?" the spokesperson for China's Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote in a May 8 tweet that has been liked more than 4,000 times. </snip>

Lots of people have wondered about that. The memo was odd (to say the least). As an attempt to cover CYA it simply highlighted that there was something being covered up. Why was the paragraph declassified yesterday classified in the first place? Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) questioned Rice about why she sent a note detailing a conversation she observed on Jan. 5 between then-FBI Director James Comey and then-President Obama. "It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation," they wrote in a letter to Rice. </snip>

So, the daily caller headline links to an NBCNews story as a source. And that news story is a hoot! And, of course no honest reporting about why there is "bad blood" between Trump and Obama. White House portrait ceremony may be the latest casualty of the political divide The traditional White House portrait unveiling may be skipped for the first time in decades amid bad blood between Trump and Obama. </snip> Trump is unconcerned about shunning yet another presidential custom, and he has attacked Obama to an extent no other president has done to a predecessor. Most recently he's made unfounded accusations that Obama committed an unspecified crime. Obama, for his part, has no interest in participating in the post-presidency rite of passage so long as Trump is in office, the people familiar with the matter said. </snip>

It is not something I would wish on anyone. My grandfather did great in his own home until he passed away at 95, my MIL was able to stay at home with round-the-clock aides until she passed away at 88. The solution is based on the person’s needs.

Pull their relatives? Many people are in nursing homes because no one can take care of them, their house was no longer a safe environment (falling, ada accessibility, etc), or they needed more help than a home health care provider could legally give. The nursing home is their home. When I asked where people expected the COVID-19 nursing home residents to go, no one had an answer. When Cuomo finally said the hospitals cannot release these patients until they are clear, it was a solution. Long term hospital stays are not ideal either. New York State nursing homes have been shut down to visitors for nine weeks. That did not mean COVID-19 was not brought into nursing homes as staff brought it in (this happened several times in my father’s nursing home). Meanwhile, these poor people have had little contact with family or friends (not everyone is a candidate for Skype, FaceTime, or even a telephone call), and that leads to a different set of problems. China ***** sucks. I hope they pay a steep price for unleashing this virus on an unsuspecting world.
