That's not even the headline, Geo.  Literally the next thought out of his head was "but schools must fully reopen."

To say we're through the farging looking glass with that cheap huckster is an understatement right now.

I watched AOC's entire speech.  My daughter heard her voice and smiled.  Out of nowhere she said if Democrats ran her for high office they'd win in landslides.  That's who they want, not Biden. 

I said, honey, Biden is a band-aid.  He will have a WOC as a running mate.  Not AOC because of her age, but a firebrand who will energize your generation.

She replied, sure pops, I'll believe it when I see it. 

Can't argue with the kid.

I think Pompeo crossed a line yesterday in ratcheting up the anti Chinese rhetoric. He is now calling for democratic nations to band together and induce government change and give the Chinses people the freedoms they want. Other than actual kinetic warfare, I don't know of anything more threatening and provocative to a despotic ruler that openly fomenting rebellion and regime change. I don't think China has seen this level of push back since pre Mao. It ill be interesting to see where this all goes, and if it will involve large amounts of radioactivity.

What's going to happen is industry will continue to move to India, and then we'll be reminded of all the terrible shtein India does to its own people.

Yep. They're going to hang their hat on China leading up to the election.

What's funny to me is the MAGAts will parrot those anti-Chinese things but then when it comes time to buy goods they will bitch about the pricing for things not made in China.

China owns a shtein ton of our debt.

No problem, though.  I mean it's not like a China is a country where being embarrassed means anything.

Stephen Miller has announced that his grandmother's death certificate is Fake News, and she totally didn't die from covid.

Rep. Ted Yoho removed from board of Christian charity over his comments about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

A Christian nonprofit organization that fights world hunger asked Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) to resign from its board after he confronted a female colleague and then reportedly used a sexist expletive after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was out of earshot.

Bread for the World announced Yoho's resignation in a statement on Saturday, saying that his "recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors."

On the one hand I love this.  Scares the piss out of white folks.  Mulford act, etc.  I think I like it, though you couldn't catch me withing five miles of this kind of protest.

On the other hand...look into this Jay Johnson's history and the whole scene takes on a 'disaster-pending" feel.  Make it ten miles.
