• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
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. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
Associate Justice Ruth Ginsberg Passes
It's been a bit of an agonizing week I would say to my descendants. Justice Ginsberg was 87 years old a week ago when she passed. She had been sick for quite a few years prior and there was always speculation as to who would replace and just what President would do the replacing.
As of this writing President Trump says he will definitely appoint a woman and there seems to be one candidate mentioned quite often: Amy Coney Barrett. We'll catch up on this later.
Meanwhile, the praise for Justice Ginsberg is driving me nuts. Let me say this, yon descendants, I greatly disliked the woman although I wished her no harm.
She came up with this notion that Justices should be able to use foreign governments constitutions, if they have such a thing, even the words of Bloggers. This would happen, of course, in the event the American constitution does not have the words SHE wants to use in her decisions. Although, as I emphasize yon descendants, she took an oath to up hold the constitution of the United States, NOT Pat Fish's Blog.
So she's gone and I wish her to rest in peace. Now President Trump wrestles with nominating a replacement, along with the U.S. Senate, authorized by the constitution to advise and consent on nominations by the current president.
But the Democrats keep telling us that Ginsberg's last wish was that she hoped the newly elected president about to happen in almost two months would get to appoint her replacement.
The constitution states that the currently sitting president gets to nominated all Supreme Court nominees as required by circumstances. We do not, yon descendants and I hope it is still that way when you read this, appoint Supreme Court Justices based on the wishes of the one they are replacing.
Meanwhile the debate and hysteria goes on.
Let us pray this all turns out okay.
----------------------------------MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Hurricanes and Firestorms
It is hurricane season as I write this, yon descendants. And fires rage through the forests of Oregon and California.
And they all blame it on global warming.
Yon descendants, in your era the average temperature too might rise. As I am to understand, the average temperature as I write this and for the prior few years has risen about two degrees Celsius.
Yon descendants, we cannot stop or move hurricanes. And scuttlebutt has it that many of the forest fires in California are being started by ....well I guess you'd call them arsonists.
Those not human-started happened naturally but due to California's strict rules on clearing the forest floor less the matahoochie black-eyed owl be endangered.
Or something.
Yon descendants, HUMAN BEINGS HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE WEATHER! No matter what anyone should ever tell you, the weather happens due to the revolution of the planet Earth and movement toward or away from the sun.
They want global warming to be the cause of everything, including the loss of virginity.
Now global warming starts forest fires and hurricanes, man-made global warming, or so the nut jobs argue.
Do not fall for such silliness.

ABC, Monday nights
I do quite like watching Dancing With the Stars but it's probably not for everyone. My husband, who had two left feet and whose picture was under the word "guy" in the dictionary, never watched the show.
The so-called "stars" however, are not all that famous but then again, they do need to find people who can dance.
The show does a good job of finding a variety of dancers, old and young, sports celebrities, singers and comedians and anyone who is known and can dance.
The dances chosen to be performed are interesting and fun to watch.
This year we have a new host, Tyra Banks.
It was time for Tom Bergeron to retire.

EDITORIAL(My opinion for my descendants)
The Real Story of George Floyd
First, may I ask all yon readers to please forgive me if I've run across any of you on any discussion boards and gave you flap about George Floyd.
I specifically refer to anyone who declared that George Floyd died from an overdose of Fetanyl and not a knee on the neck.
Below are the findings on Floyd's official autopsy certificate.
No positive cause of death is listed although the Floyd family hired a private coroner that may have provided different information.
Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens: 1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL 2. Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL 3. 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL 4. Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL 5. 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL; Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL 6. Cotinine positive 7. Caffeine positive
I don't think anybody with an ounce of common sense thinks that George Floyd died solely because of the cop's knee on his neck. Although that knee and the pressure probably didn't help a man so full of drugs and now having pressure that made breathing even more difficult.
Goodness the guy had a golden casket, a horse-drawn carriage to carry his body to the cemetery. Pictures of Floyd show him as having the wings of an angel.
Now the video of the cop pressing down on Floyd's neck was not a pleasant one but it didn't kill him.
It might not have helped him live but there's more to Floyd's death than we have been told by mass media.

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear.
The Chinese
I note, as I fly around as flies do, that humans have different "species". As do flies so I get this. Only variations of flies, such as horse flies up to mosquitos do not "infiltrate" each other as the Chinese humans infiltrate America.
Only perhaps the Americans already know this but I know for sure due to my eavesdropping.
It was a rather chilly day, around time for me to hibernate, that I was flying all about and landed in a room with Joe Biden, Valarea and Joe's son Hunter. I landed on a curtain rod and made myself comfortable to listen in.
Valarea leaned back and as she always does, lit a cigarette. "So Hunter, have you distributed the money as we requested?"
Hunter leaned back in his chair while his father flexed his hand and smiled.
"I went to all the politicos as you indicated," Hunter said. "Chuck Schumer got a bunch. Nancy Pelosi, of course. And Feinstein, goodness she's got Win-Ho driving her all over the place so she got a lot. "
Valeria blew a smoke wind toward the ceiling in thought. "Any Republicans?"
"Yeah, Mitt's guy. Dropped some to McConnell's wife. McCain got a bunch."
"Got almost 1.5 billion dollars," Joe Biden said, a smile on his face to his joy. "Hunter gets to keep some of it, right?"
Valeria smiled and nodded affirmative.
"How about the Russian money?" she asked, stubbing out the cigarette and lighting another. "You were careful giving it to the sex cartels, right?"
Hunter nodded yes and lit himself up a cigarette.
I was shocked. The American humans were taking all this foreign money and dishing it out to political class folks, mostly Democrats but some Republicans. I, the fly, wondered who knew about this.
But then all the humans got up, squashed their cigarettes while Joe Biden cracked stupid jokes. Joe Biden, as this fly sees it, is not the smartest human being on the planet.
And now he's running for President.
This fly is still amazed.
