I am at Defcon 1 in the war against Covid-19.
I have cooked myself dinner *two* days in a row.
Things may never be the same.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.

The Black Death. The Spanish Flu. Ebola. Swine flu. H1N1. Now, Corvid-19.
The planet is warming. This results in coastal flooding, and storms more ferocious and frequent than in the past.
World leadership is trending towards idiocy and greed. Whole groups ignoring science and reality.
I think I know what’s happening.
The Earth is trying to kill us.
Sometime during the fall of the Roman Empire, Mother Nature probably noticed the naked apes were getting a bit problematic. The first attempts to thin the heard were only partially successful, even though the Black Death was staggering in it’s swath across Europe. The only thing the apes liked doing more than killing each other was making more apes, and as soon as they were able, they went right back to those pass-times.
As time went on, the crazy ones led their troops to war, and millions died. But still they made more.
Now, with another pandemic sweeping the planet, what do the apes do? Hoard toilet paper and bottled water. Some of them even claim there’s no threat, and continue to act in ways to make the problem worse, all the time screaming “FAKE NEWS!”
So now the Earth is raising it’s temperature, and mutating flu virus’ as fast as it can, hoping to save itself and whatever other life can hang on.
We can hardly blame it.

One thing you can count on, in the battle to get assault weapons off the streets of America, gun owners, specifically those who own (or wished they owned) the AR-15 will fight to the death… to make sure you know AR *doesn’t* mean ‘assault rifle’.
Now, they have a point. AR stands for the original manufacturer from back in the 50’s, Armalite Rifle. This fixation, however, on what the AR stands for is a bit disingenuous, given their penchant for screaming “CONFISCATION!!!!” any time anyone proposes a restriction or buy-back plan.
The Colt AR-15 is an assault rifle, though. Who says so? Colt says so, that’s who.
If at first you don’t succeed, change the rules!

Oh that Trump administration…
“Hmmmm… we’ve been unable to nail Hillary on anything! ANYTHING! Curses, foiled again!”
*lightbulb*
“I know! We’ll retroactively classify material that was sent in routine State Department and government emails, and start harassing people about having classified information on their computers!!! Bwahahahahaha!”
Stunned career official (SCO): “But how does that make sense? Why would we do that? How does that become Hillary’s fault??”
Trump appointee (TA): “Because these emails ended up with her, so anyone who sent them is guilty, too! Since she had classified material on unsecured computers, SHE’S GUILTY! AND SO ARE THEY! Bwahahahahaha!!”
SCO: “That makes no sense! You can’t retroactively classify materials that were unclassified, then harass people about them!”
TA: “Watch us.”
Fox News: NEWSFLASH! Classified emails! Hillary! Benghazi!
MAGAts: “SEE!!! WE TOLD YOU!!! LOCK HER UP!!!!!!!!!!”
Trump: “NO COLLUSION, TOTAL EXONERATION, WITCH HUNT, BIDEN!”
Everybody else: “WTF?”

Breaking U.S. policy, Trump was set to meet with Taliban terrorist group at Camp David

This is a bad holo-novel, isn’t it, Number One?
The stupid continues to flow from this White House. On Saturday, September 7, 2019, President Donald J. Trump tweeted the following:
The official policy of the United States has, for decades, been that we do not negotiate with terrorists. Now, we have negotiated with terrorists before, on the down-low, but never at the level of the Presidency, and never at such a respected historical site.
Idiot-in-Chief was going to bring Taliban terrorist leaders to Camp David! This is not Israel-Egypt, and Trump is no Jimmy Carter.
On top of all of that, Trump was going to have the Taliban at Camp David a couple of days before 9/11! The optics of that are just incredibly bad. Did no one at the White House even consider that?
So who was our point man on this? Why am I suspecting it was Jared? After all, isn’t he in charge of all of these peace plan things?
Idiots. All of them. Led by the biggest one of all.

In their 2016 platform, the Republican party says “Federalism is a cornerstone of our constitutional system. Every violation of state sovereignty by federal officials is not merely a transgression of one unit of government against another; it is an assault on the liberties of individual Americans.”

I’m on Devin Nunes’ email list, and boy, is it a roller coaster ride!
Here’s part of the latest blast:
“Jim,
Breaking: Big tech giants may be manipulating information to sway votes.
This is a disturbing discovery, and it should concern all Americans.
Tech oligarchs have become a huge part of our daily lives. They control what information we see and what we don’t. They have incredible power and could use this power to manipulate elections and voters.
This should give every American great concern. Conservatives must fight back.
Research has shown that Silicon Valley tech oligarchs supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and could have biased their platform users in favor of their personal politics.
If we want to ensure a fair election in 2020, then we MUST fight back now.”
Amazing.
Nunes wants us to believe two contradictory things at one time –
That Facebook, Twitter, and similar tech giants could manipulate their customers in favor of Hillary Clinton, but that Russia’s concerted efforts to do the exact same thing on the exact same platforms did not influence anyone to favor Donald Trump.
Manipulation in favor of Clinton: YES
Manipulation in favor of Trump: NYET
“… may be manipulating…” and “They… could use this power…” and “could have biased their platform…”
He doesn’t claim they DID do that, but only that they COULD have, and that they should be investigated.
Meanwhile, Devin is suing a Twitter cow. He’s also trying to use federal racketeering laws to go after people who have said “mean” things about him. Like he’s not really a “farmer”, even though he got a court to rule he could claim that on voting pamphlets. (He recently bought a $15,000 farm, presumably so he could claim to be a farmer for real)
Derp state, is right. Devin is the Speaker of that House.

Devin Nunes calls media “freaks”
March 18, 2020
Jim Reeves commentary, News coronovirus, Covid-19, covid19, DCD advice, Devin Nunes, Nunes, pub 1 Comment
On the Hannity show on Fox “News”, Devin Nunes called the media “freaks”. Why? Because they had the audacity to report his “go to the pub” advice. Now he’s trying to claim he meant go to the drive-thru, even though he clearly said “pub”.
Guess what, Devin? We have the video. We can hear what you said. You directly contradicted the CDC’s advice, and that of other medical professionals.
Go back to suing fake cows. You might do a little better there, if you can get your case in front of a judge appointed by Hair Furor.
