• Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail.

MISC. PANDEMIC NOTES OF THE WEEK
(an update for my descendants)
The biggest pandemic news this week, as I alert my descendants, is the fact that many things are going open, much because of the griping of Americans done locked into their homes for two months.
Some states are stubborn, the Michigan Governor is still an asshole. But the people are mad and ain't taking it anymore.
The latest argument is for North Carolina to agree to host the Republican convention, with full attendance, this coming August.
President Trump says he's going to another state if he does not receive a firm commitment from the Governor of North Carolina. Who, as of this writing, has not done so yet.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENT OF THE WEEK
(another update)
Biden says vote for him or you're not black
It's big news this week. Democratic presidential contender, former VP Joe Biden, was in a chat with a radio disc jockey. Biden suddenly made the oddest declaration: "If you don't vote for me, you're not black"
Biden makes the assumption, as my descendants can plainly see, that all blacks will vote for him.
But he's made a lot of black people mad, descendants. And when one thinks about it, descendants, the Democrats should stop taking black peoples' votes for granted.

Kayleigh McEnany
It seems that President Trump's new press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, is causing quite the stir with the "journalists" in attendance at a press conference.
Last week McEnany dictated five questions she would like the journalists in attendance to ask her. All of the questions involved the investigation of Mike Flynn. Questions which were NOT asked of that subject and I must ask, why not?
The FBI and the prior administration and some intelligence agencies of the 5,466 did everything they could to throw Flynn, a war hero and military leader, in jail that he never reveal his secrets and then they all could go after President Trump. The Mueller report was useless. The impeachment over Ukraine went nowhere.
So go after a prominent Trump administration official and somehow, maybe have him tell bad things about Trump.
Or something.
This little session cause quite the stir in D.C. because McEnany slammed her folder shut and strolled out the door, ignoring all other questions thrown at her.

MAJOR CULTURE EVENT OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Churches Re-open
I ask my descendants to never allow a lock down like this moment in time as I write. For sure do not ever allow the shutting down of churches.
This past week President Trump held a press conference and announced he was hereby opening all churches from lock down. Actually he ordered the applicable governor to do it but Trump said he would over-ride them if they did not.
This is President Trump who does not want to allow freedom to worship to leave the American life and as in our constitution.
For sure the churches must follow suggested protocols, such as social distancing, a limited amount of attendees....the sort of thing all essential organizations must do.
If the liquor stores were deemed essential, why were the churches not so?

Disney has gay main character
To my descendants who may have chanced to go to Disney World during some future beyond this writing, I must wonder does that organization seem to be as homosexual oriented as it is as I type?
Disney World even has an all homosexual day at their park. I've wondered just why those homosexuals couldn't attend the park with the heterosexuals. It's a damn amusement park. Why can't we all be amused together?
At any rate, it was only a matter of time that Disney would have movies with gay characters.
"Out", a short film from Pixar Animation Studios streaming on Disney+, features Pixar’s first gay main character.
The 9-minute film debuted Friday as one of seven films in the studio’s SparkShorts program. SparkShorts aims to “discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment...
main character Greg is preparing to move into the city with his boyfriend, Manuel. Greg is gripped by the difficulty of coming out as gay to his parents, who have paid a surprise visit to help him pack for his move....
I don't suppose it's a problem with having a gay character in a film but bear in mind that Disney films are engineered for children.
Or is that the intent?

PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)
Worst Memorial Day Ever
It was made worse by the fact that my hot water heater, which had been only half-working for a couple of years, sprung a leak.
It was Memorial Day. How the hell much would it cost to call in a plumber on this holiday?
So I piled towels up around the bottom of the heater because there is no faucet to turn that will turn off a leak. I checked all around and noted the bottom of the heater was rusted through.
All night I prayed it wouldn't bust open and flood my house.
It didn't.
And don't forget we're all still under lock down here in Delaware where Carney is King. A Memorial Day stuck at home with water leaking all over the place.
The following day I did get a plumber out and it wasn't cheap, but there's a new hot water heater installed and life is looking better.
Masks Be Damned
King Carney has demanded, dear descendants, that we all wear masks.
I hate and despise those things. I can't breath right, they fog up my glasses and cause them to fall off.
And for a couple of months now I've heard this expert tell us masks were useless, that expert tell them they would save our lives, the expert over there say everyone should only wear this kind, and the expert from a government bureaucracy somewhere demand that we wear three face masks at all times.
If they demand that yon descendants wear face masks, fight it. I see people fiddling with their face masks, picking their nose....it's a joke, yon descendants.
Don't fall for it.
